Setting off at sunrise, the group followed a road hidden by the grasslands.
“We will reach Carne Village before long.”
Hearing that from within his group——Ainz has also been here before——but on the surface only Enfrea has been here before, all of his travel companions nodded in unison. Other than that they didn’t have any other reaction, they just walked quietly. Enfrea, the one who spoke also had an impatient expression.
There was an exceptionally awkward atmosphere between them. The one who created this atmosphere, Ainz, hid his mood under his helmet.
Ninya kept on looking at him with eyes of disdain, but this was his own fault, so he could not say anything.
This was also influenced by yesterday’s speech.
He apologised to everyone during breakfast, it should have been easy to forgive at that point, but he was unable to say the simple words “I forgive you”.
Although Ainz knew he was being petty, he was unable to let it go.
Even after turning into an undead, which changed both my body and my mentality, I’m still like this...
After turning into an undead, all of his stronger emotions would be dampened, but all his weaker feelings wouldn’t disappear completely. The fact that his petty anger was still around after such a long time was proof of this. His past companions had an important place in his heart. Although they were deep feelings, it would be slightly bad if he continued this way, but right now he had no intention of being the one to change the mood.
