“Ah——if you don’t mind me asking, but what’s the name of the dragon who’s able to change the weather?”
Ainz wasn’t shameless enough to calmly ask something of the person he had a quarrel with, so he quietly whispered. But it was still loud enough to catch everyone’s attention, so Ninya quickly turned his head around.
It was just like a quarrel between a couple, trying to use this question as a chance to reconcile.
Ainz could not resist thinking about the scene he saw in a coffee shop in the past to compare with this situation.
Having said that, since it was Ainz who asked the question, Ninya showed a small, cheerful expression. The members of the Dark Sword and Enfrea smiled as well and only Naberal was unmoved. Speaking of which, ever since this morning, Naberal didn’t even notice the awkward atmosphere between those two.
“Terribly sorry! Once we’ve returned to the city, I will look that up!”
No, there is no need to be so excited… Just saying that you don’t know is good enough… I only wanted an answer…
Just that he did not say those words.
“Eh, in that case Ninya-san, if time permits, would you please help me check it out?”
“I understand, Momon-san!”
Everyone nodded in satisfaction, making Ainz feel embarrassed. The situation would be different if it was the other way round, but being oldest person in the group he couldn’t help feeling ashamed.
“Alright, we should be arriving at Carne Village soon…”
This would be the first cheerful thing he said all morning, but suddenly Enfrea went silent.
Everyone started to look at the village as it gradually came into their sights. It was a simple village that was situated next to a forest. No strange atmosphere could be felt from it and there was also nothing of interest, so nobody knew why Enfrea suddenly stopped talking.
“What’s wrong, Enfrea-san? Did something happen?”
“Ah, nevermind. It’s just that this sturdy fence wasn’t here before…”
“Is that so? But looking at it, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it at all. To be honest, this kind of defence is a bit shabby for a frontier village, isn’t it? This village is located next to the forest, so they probably use it to stop monsters. It wouldn’t be strange if there was an even stronger fence, right?”
“Eh—— What you said may be true... but Carne Village was protected by the Virtuous King of the Forest, they never needed a palisade before...”
