“Sheesh. They’ve gone.”

“Yes, they have. They may be workers, but we all shared a meal, and they’re our teammates on this job. I hope they make it back safely… What do you think, Momon?”

“They’re probably all going to die.”

Ainz answered in a low voice, and the adventurer team leader who’d asked the question was taken aback.

Crap, I just said what I thought.

“N-no, I mean, they should all be prepared to. These are untouched ruins. Who knows what kind of danger awaits? Wishful thinking will only get them hurt.”

“I see… Thanks for your…concern.”

That seemed pretty forced…but I guess he’s taking it at face value? Works for me…

The leader must have been nodding because he had blindly taken the adamantite-rank adventurer’s words in a positive light. Ainz’s work—being friendly with him during the whole trip to Nazarick to get him to show goodwill—had paid off.

“Well then, I think I’ll take the first rest, as we planned.”

Ainz walked toward his tent—which he naturally shared with Narberal. He knew some of the humans suspected their tent was at a distance from the others so no one would be able to overhear any rough, heavy breathing. Or rather, the leader of the other team had told him as much.

The man seemed to want to get closer to fellow adventurer Momon more than the workers and had been passing information he’d gotten from them to Ainz.

Ainz entered the tent with Narberal, shut the opening, and took a look outside just to be safe. No one was paying attention to them. On the contrary, it seemed like they were purposely avoiding looking in their direction.

“I was right to not outright deny that our tent was a love nest. Now no one thinks it’s weird that we pitched it at a distance, and no one will approach or pay too much attention to us.”

Instead of losing anything by doing that, they had actually gained a lot.

Ainz took off his helmet and revealed his skull face.

“Okay, Nabe—er, Narberal. I’m returning to Nazarick. The plan is to send Pandora’s Actor in my place, but until then, if anything happens, find a way to handle it.”

“Understood, Lord Ainz.”

“Right. Then contact me immediately in an emergency.”

Ainz canceled the magic that had created his armor and swords. The weight of the helmet in his hand disappeared at the same time.

The restricting sensations that had been enveloping his body thus removed, he sighed in relief, even though he wasn’t tired. It was probably the same for the way he rotated his shoulders even though there was no way for them to get stiff—these things had to be vestiges of his humanity.

“Phew.”

The remnants of human emotion were a bother at times.

If he had been able to handle everything in a calm and collected manner, things might have turned out differently. But if he didn’t have vestiges of his human self, would he still have been so attached to the Great Tomb of Nazarick? He probably would have lost the feelings he had toward Satoru Suzuki’s memories, as well as the memories he’d made with his friends.
