Grand Foreigner (Chapters 1- 200)

Chapter 106

Coming out of the training room and shaking his head, Ainz sighed.

Well, at least Jalter... Ainz still felt bad about coming up with such a ridiculous name.

In any case, Jalter apparently did not feel any romantic emotions for Ainz. And, to be honest, Ainz himself was very glad about it. Who can blame him for it? Lately, his life has been spinning at such a speed that it was difficult for Ainz to imagine what the next twist of fate would bring him.

In any case, there was at least one girl in Chaldea who did not have any romantic feelings for him. That was good, great even!

Ainz chuckled out joyfully. At least, until his suppression of emotions cut the elation he felt from not being a Harem Protagonist... Although he does have the face of one.

Eh, still, if he were in his skeletal body, he would be glad to have any girl at all that would pay attention to him... Although he wasn't sure he would be able to get along with a girl that is romantically attracted to a skeleton. Why did he feel goosebumps?

Ainz recalled one of Perroroncino's favorite quotes for a second. How did it go again...

"Any guy would cater to a tree if it would take the first step..."

It's amazing that once he was in the center of female attention, this seemingly truthful note from his friend became so plausible.

In any case, his mood after communicating with Jalter was excellent. His mind has even managed to calm down a little and is now able to function without giving him panic attacks every second, trying to slowly deal with the entire confused situation of his relationship with the girls and Servants. And so, with his mind returning to its normal functions, he was now prepared to face his greatest challenge yet.

Definitely, he was ready to do the most heroic act in the world.

He was ready to meet Da Vinci.

If he were to be honest, Ainz was even somewhat ashamed that he had ignored Da Vinci for so long. Besides, considering Leo's 'persistent' nature, it would not have been all that implausible for Da Vinci to find a way to crawl into the Singularity after Ainz if she were to be ignored any longer. If she were to be left without receiving any answers, Ainz could definitely see her doing such a thing with the sole purpose of extorting answers from him. There would be no escaping Da Vinci's curiosity.

Ainz was sure that the girl had a lot of complex questions that she wanted Ainz to answer. Ainz was also thoroughly convinced that he could not give a decent answer to any of these questions. But, there is one silver lining that Ainz could count on. He has managed to cope with the Demon Kings, Servants, Gods, Singularities - and even, he shuddered just thinking about them - the newly discovered women in his personal life!

And so Ainz believed that his favorite tactic, 'just pretend that you understand what is being said and say meaningless phrases meaningfully and with confidence' will save him this time too.

Therefore, Ainz took a deep breath and walked slowly away. Perhaps to his doom.

Da Vinci's workshop... The moment of truth.

Ainz remembered its location quite well. He has after all, visited it more than once. Therefore, finding Leo's preferred habitat was not at all difficult. Somehow, even with the labyrinthian and almost eldritch-like corridors, Ainz found it quite easily.

Stopping in front of the door, the most ordinary of doors, behind which lay one of the most eccentric scientists and the most powerful adversary Ainz had ever met. Ainz steeled his resolve, and then knocked lightly on the door.
