Epilogue

“Boss lady, looks like yer ready.” That was Jugemu’s remark to Enri when he came into her house and saw her.

“Yeah, but…you don’t think I look weird?” Enri asked, staring at the figure she cut in her best clothes, the ones she wore only for the harvest festival and other celebrations.

“Nothing weird about ya at all, right, boss man?”

“Yeah, you look pretty, Enri.”

“Agh!” Enri blushed and saw Jugemu and Nemu grinning out of the corner of her eye. Their smiles were more wicked than warm.

She was of a mind to say a word or two to them about those expressions, which had been appearing more frequently as her relationship with Nfirea progressed. At the same time, she wisely knew that her face would only become redder if she tried, so she kept her mouth shut.

Still, leaving them like that was dangerous. Especially Nemu.

Sometimes her sister asked her questions she had a hard time answering.

I feel like she’s developed an awful lot mentally over the past few days… I should let Nfirea rescue me here…

Catching her pleading glance for assistance, her boyfriend chimed in.

“Uh, ahem! By the way, how’s it going with the magic sword? Last time I asked it sounded like you were having trouble because it was different from other swords you had used.”

The greatsword Jugemu carried was a magical blade he had acquired in the attack a few days ago.

“I finally got used to the weight and center of gravity, so I can use it as well as my other swords now. As ya might expect of a magic weapon, it’s sharper and whatnot. However, it’s a bit lame that the poison running down the groove only lowers yer opponent’s strength.”

“Really? It sounds like an amazing effect.”

“It’s not very strong poison. At our level, we can mostly resist it. If it only affects weaker enemies, it’s not very…” Jugemu looked a bit gloomy all of a sudden.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well…” Jugemu looked up at the ceiling and then reluctantly spoke. “The troll that had this sword… It just seemed strange.”

“When I saw the corpse, it did seem different from a normal troll, like maybe a subspecies.”

“No, I don’t mean like that, boss man… The way it moved, the dysfunctional regeneration ability, the feel of cutting into it… It was strange… Yeah, I got this eerie feeling it was already dead but still moving around.”

“A moving corpse? You’re saying it was a zombie?”

“I don’t know. That sort of troll could exis—”

“Heyyy, sorry I’m late!”

The door burst open.

Lupusregina walked right into Enri’s house, sun at her back. As if to speak for everyone who had been caught off guard, a light smack sounded from her head.

“Ah, ow!”

“You dolt. Is that any way to behave? Please excuse us, everyone.”

Yanking Lupusregina, who was pressing a hand to her head, behind her, the woman who had been in the rear stepped in front of the door and bowed.

“I am Lord Ainz’s maid, Yuri Alpha. I’ve come to collect Master Nfirea, Miss Enri, and Miss Nemu. May I come in?”

“Oh yes, please do.
