"We'll enter the forest through here. I'll be counting on you if anything attacks."Nphirea said, making me look at him.

"As long as we have Mr. Momon and Ms. Rin with us, I don't think anything in there will have the guts."Peter said, making me chuckle at that. I'm honored he thinks I'm as powerful as Ainz but I'm only good at combat, though a bit good at magic. He's the real star here.

"Oh, yeah. One thing. If we happen upon the Wise King, I'd like for you to scare him off instead of killing him."Nphirea added, making me vocally question him.

"Could you explain?"I asked, Nphirea looking at the forest.

"This entire area is within the Wise King's territory. He's the reason monsters have never attempted to attack Carne Village before."He explained, looking at us.

"So if we kill him, disaster will strike." I said, him nodding.

"I'm pretty sure that's impossible, even for them-"

"I'll certainly try. "Momon said, getting stunned responses. I shook my head, moving forward.

"I'll scout ahead. If you need me, just whistle. Of course if Momon and Nabe join me he'll whistle. I'll know the difference between Momon's and the rest of you."I said, rushing forward before they could argue. I grinned as I rushed forward before jumping and latched onto a tree, swinging myself so my stump like feet rested on a thick branch. I turn my head when I heard a whistle, chirping back before hearing giggling, my head snapping about till I saw Aura behind a tree. I rushed forward, grabbing her and hugged her.

"Ah! Zailrin!"She laughed, making me laugh too as I swung us higher in the tree. Once I was able to set us on a more stable branch I squished her face, giggling.

"Nice seeing you here."I said, pouting.
"I miss Nazarick already."I said, her giggling.

"You know, Demiurge misses you quite a lot."She said, my eyes widening. I smiled, grinning as I felt my cheeks redden.

"Well, tell him I miss him too."I said, my pupils growing.
"But of course I miss the rest of you too."I added, squishing her cheeks again.

"Zailrin!"She laughed before placing he hands on my face.
"Your eye is really pretty! Does your other eye look like that too?"She asked, making me smile.

"I have three eyes."I answered, her eyes shining.

"Really?! I wanna see!!"She said, making me chuckle.

"Maybe one day."I said before my head snapped to my left, hearing footsteps which made me hide behind the tree with her in my arms. Aura grinned hiding as well.

"That's far enough. Now, why don't we talk about how to spread my great name?"Momon loudly said, making me glance at Aura. So he called her here?

"Sounds good!"Aura said, Nabe immediately aiming her hand at the girl only for me to rush to her aid. I grabbed Aura Princess style, jumping and landed on the ground.

"Careful, Naberal. No need to CAST her away. That'd be quite BLASTemous of you."I grinned, Aura giggling at my puns as I set her down.

"I'm sorry, Lady Zailrin and Lady Aura! You both startled me. How long were you here, Lady Aura?"Nabe asked, Aura forgiving her.
