“B-but if they really escape, w-wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
Demiurge and Shalltear laughed.
“Mare, that was a funny joke you made. Of course we would ensure they can’t actually get away. Well, if they ever do, they would deserve praise.”
“Demiurge, did you already obtain the necessary information to destroy the Eight Fingers?”
“Of course, Sebas. I have all the necessary information.”
Sebas was honestly surprised. The time Demiurge had spent in the capital was extremely short, but for him to have gathered information this fast... Sebas did not want to imagine what kind of method Demiurge used. The only thing he was certain about was that if Demiurge was acting on the Master’s orders, he would not mess around.
“Now about the locations, there are quite a few, but all that remains is to attack them. If possible, try to capture those who looks like they have useful information, and make sure to remind these Eight Fingers of their wrongdoing—”
Demiurge suddenly stopped, glancing at Sebas before he continued.
“—That they dared to sully the most graceful and magnificent name of Ainz Ooal Gown. If we want to pay them back proportionally to the insult they have done to us, we will need to extract more information as well. Any objections?”
“N, no!”
“They need to pay for their rudeness toward Ainz-sama with death.”
“Of course, there’s no objection.”
The two Guardians and the butler replied. The Pleiades and the Evil Lords simply bowed without saying a word.
“Good, then Sebas. Can you tell me of the location they called you out to? I need to confirm if it’s one of the locations I have learned of.”
When Sebas spoke the address, Demiurge smiled.
“Should I be happy that it’s a match or be saddened that there is one less place to attack. It is one of the places I’ve scouted out. I shall leave that place to you.”
“Thank you. But there is a chance she may be injured. I wish to bring someone who can use healing magic.”
“To save her is the wish of Ainz-sama as well… Solution, since you have superior detection abilities, I wanted to leave you as a reserve, but can you support Sebas?”
“As you command, Demiurge-sama.”
“But, Demiurge, about the humans inside that building who kidnapped Tsuare…”
“If you leave any of the scum that tried to trample on Ainz-sama’s words alive, I’ll kill you myself this time.”
“No need to worry Demiurge. I will exterminate them.”
“I wanted to say this for a long time… can’t you two be more friendly with each other?”
Sebas could see Demiurge making an ambiguous expression from the corner of his eyes. He imagined that he probably made a similar expression. The more he thought about why he didn’t like Demiurge so much, the stranger it became. He was perfectly fine with Shalltear, who shared similar hobbies with Demiurge, but Demiurge annoyed him whenever they talked to each other. Even so, to quarrel with Demiurge right before the mission would be like spitting on the kindness of the Supreme Beings. Sebas deeply apologized to his master inside his heart and bowed towards Demiurge.
“I apologize for showing you rudeness even though you came to correct my mistakes.”
“...Well, it doesn’t matter. For now… Is it going to be alright for you to evacuate Tsuare immediately to Nazarick after you rescue her?”
“Of course. Are all the preparations made to receive her?”
“No problem~. On that point, we prepared accordingly~.”
Sebas nodded his head to Entoma who spoke sweetly.
“Any other questions? No? Then we’ll divide the members into seven groups and decide where each group will attack. Of course, Sebas and Solution are already assigned, but first thing to beware of… Shalltear!”
Demiurge’s tone suddenly became strong, surprising Shalltear.
“What, what is it, Demiurge?”
“Please wait in the back as reserve, since you lose all control when you’re drenched in blood. If you go out of control killing useless flies, it will be a problem.”
“It-, it’s alright! If I use Spuit Lance to suck it all in, the chances of that happening would be very small!”
“It’s still a no. We need to be careful with this and need to avoid the risks as much as possible. Also Sebas, I’ll apologize beforehand. Rescuing Tsuare and punishing the Eight Fingers is just stage one of this plan. However, I cannot tell you anything about the entire plan or stage two, because the moment you return to Nazarick after accomplishing stage one, you are no longer part of the plan. To avoid any information leaks, we need to keep it on a strict need-to-know basis.”
“I understand. Then I will prepare immediately.”
