Once I was awake Demiurge happily reported. "Sorry for making you come all this way, Demiurge." Ainz apologised. "Then make you wait some more."

"Not at all, Lady Aria is our top priority." Demiurge bowed.

"What happened?" I asked, and Ainz groaned on the outside and inside his mind.

"Aria leave a message whenever you leave," Ainz stated.

"I did, Hejinmal wrote it," I explained.

'...We all thought that was some mysterious ransom note since it was even carved into the stone of the desk...' Ainz thought then groaned. "Tell someone instead then."

"But excitement makes me forget," I argued.

"Then will this make you remember?" Ainz held out a sweet out to me.

"We can always try!" I took it then ate it happily.

'...I'm treating her like a puppy again.' Ainz sighed as he thought that. "Demiurge I have looked through your report regarding the Theocracy."

"Thank you very much," Demiurge grinned. "You grasped the Empire and these dwarves with such ease. Lady Aria exceptionally tamed the dragons and is already locating others."

"I just wanted a top." I hummed.

"...Clothing wise?" Ainz asked.

"...Sure." I grinned and he got very nervous.

"My awe only continues to deepen, Lord Ainz." Demiurge rambled as we spoke.

"You will be able to do the same things just as easily." Ainz retorted.

"That isn't true." Demiurge retorted. "Just how many steps ahead do you see, Lord Ainz?"

'I can't even see what tomorrow holds. Can't say that, though. Come to think of it, there was a guild called the Millennium Kingdom that used a crane on its flag...when we spoke, Yamaiko told me there was a Japanese saying that cranes live a thousand years and turtles live....' Ainz thought.

"Ten thousand years." Ainz hummed making Demiurge gasp.

"Then add dragons and it's got to be millions of years!" I exclaimed.

"THAT FAR AHEAD?!" Demiurge's body just shot into a wall out of sheer shock leaving us stunned.

"No, I was joking..." Ainz let out, but Demiurge has now started his usual habit of ignoring us and making his own story up.

"Now, I understand a lot of your strategic moves! And dragons add that much I see why Lady Aria likes them so much! She sees value I could never!" Demiurge exclaimed and I groaned. "So your growing use of the undead as physical labourers is to increase the world's dependence on you and control over dragons gives even more control."

Ainz shone like the sun since his emotions went through the roof, and I didn't understand anything Demiurge just said.

"I'm not thinking that deeply into things, Demiurge." Ainz retorted.

"I see! I understand!" Demiurge yelled. "Please be at ease. I will keep your words within my heart. Both of your words."

Ainz laughed. "I'm depending on you, Demiurge."

"I understand, Lord Ainz." Demiurge grinned.

"I don't." I let out as they were both laughing.

Ainz's laugh was a nervous one until he stopped then I snapped my fingers getting the exact timing of his mind freaking out. 'What are you understanding?!' His mind yelled and Demiurge looked around like me snapping my fingers was going to trigger an explosion.
