They arrive at the large stone building to find a Young girl with fox ears leaving the building with two attendants, looking excited and a tad blushed. This was a good sign, however the sense of foreboding within the group was still much too strong. They are led to a large meeting room as the Dragon Woman gestures for them to enter with a bow. Entering the room, they see a large congregation of some incredibly powerful individuals, including the Demon and those two one-horned people. And at its center, sat 3 people. One was a large green man. A goblin? Perhaps more like a Hobgoblin. Another was a handsome but imposing man with crimson hair, a pair of short black horns and what looked like red tear-shaped marks on his cheeks. He wasn't using his jacket's sleeves as his arms were folded underneath it. Despite his imposing appearance, he looked a little red and rather distracted by something. Sat between them, however, was the king. Rimuru Tempest. "Lord Rimuru, your final guests have arrived." The dragon lady said as she took a knee to her king. "Good work Souka." Rimuru said as Souka stepped backwards before once again disappearing into a shadow. Rimuru had ordered for some seats to be prepared for them all and gestured for them all to take a seat. "Sorry about the small venue." He says, "This was the only time that I could find to fit you all in. So..." he says, looking towards Ainz. "I take it you are Ainz?". Ainz gives a dignified bow from his chair, taking off the helmet he wore to obscure his appearance.

"My name is Ainz Ooal Gown. Lord of the great Tomb of Nazarick and, back in our world, the ruler of the Sorcerer Kingdom." Ainz declares before following it up with an order. "Floor Guardians! Introduce yourselves.". The Floor Guardians all stand up from their seats as they begin their introductions in order. "I am the guardian of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors, Shalltear Bloodfallen." Shalltear says, holding her gothic dress out in a curtsey. "I am the guardian of the 5th floor, Cocytus." He lets out a breath of ice-cold air. "We are the guardians of the 6th floor. I'm Aura Bella Fiora..." Aura says, following Ainz's example by giving a bow of her own as Mare follows her lead, "And I'm Mare Bello Fiore.". "Guardian of floor 7, Demiurge." Demiurge states as he pushes up his orange tie. "And I... am overseer of the Nazerick Floor Guardians, Albedo." Albedo finishes, all of them taking back to their seats. 'Wow... So intense.' Rimuru thinks to himself with an amused expression as some of his subordinates stare at their guests in bemusement.

"Though I believe you already know my name, I suppose we should go next." Tanya states as she takes her turn to stand. "Ahem... Attention!" As she says this, the two she had with her take a stand. "Imperial 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion Commander, Tanya Von Degurachaff.". "Ma'am! 203rd Battalion, First Lieutenant Viktorya Ivanova Serebryakov." Visha states, holding a perfect stand to attention. After her, it was Wiess's turn. "203rd Battalion, Captain Matheus Johan Wiess.". He holds a stand at ease, his hands behind his back. The three then once again take to their seats. 'Definitely from a War world...' Rimuru could already tell from their uniforms that they were in some kind of military.

Megumin then stands, "My name is Megumin. Foremost archwizard amongst the Cri... Ow. Kazuma, Why'd you have to ruin my grand introduction like that?" Kazuma had hit her on the head before she could embarrass them. "Because you take introductions way too seriously. Like them." He says as he points towards Ainz and Tanya's groups. "As she said, her name is Megumin and this one here's Darkness." Gesturing towards Darkness. Then he sees an opportunity, "Though her real name is Lalatina Dustiness and is actually nobility in our world." Darkness starts protesting, hitting Kazuma while flustered and completely embarrassed. "And my name's Kazuma by the way. In our world, we're just run-of-the-mill adventurers." He finishes while fending off Darkness' flustered protests. "Sure, nice to meet you." Rimuru says, much preferring this kind of casual greeting to the overly dramatic. 'Seems I should ask Yuuki to register them with the Free Guild later.'

Subaru and Rem also introduce themselves casually. Rimuru can immediately tell that Rem displays one-sided affections towards Subaru however he knows better than to pry into other people's personal matters. 'That poor girl' Rimuru thinks, trying his best to hide his sincere sympathies for Rem, not realizing that two specific girls behind him are eying him something chronic. 'Thinking about it, it seems Megumin and Darkness have something for Kazuma too, lucky guy.' Then Ainz deeply bows towards Rimuru. "So, Sir Rimuru... I apologize for the actions of my Guardians towards your Subordinate.". "Huh?" Rimuru says, perplexed. "Why? What happened? Diablo?" turning around in his chair towards the Demon, who was standing behind him and looking quite proud of himself. 'Wait, what?! We were agonizing over nothing?!' Ainz, no... everyone in the group had that exact thought.
