"You are aware you're able to stay at the Manor, right?" Jack tilted his head looking over the man in the full plate armor. "We have more than enough rooms to accommodate you."

Momonga stared through his visor at the young man for a few moments before nodding.

"So how about you stay at my place? I'm sure my sister would enjoy the company, and you won't have to pay for rent." Jack snickered at this, since he would be gone, there was no reason for him to pay rent. Plus they were both part of the same team even though they were now currently playing different roles in order to create a live narrative in which they would carry for the time being.

Brita looked at the two of them as they spoke, putting the red potion into her pouch.

"I don't see anything that benefits you, my friend."

"Oh believe me, my sister needs the company." Jack said with a cheeky grin across his lips. He knew how much his sister would bother Momonga either to know where he was, or if she could go on adventurers with him.

He was rather interested to see how that would turn out on its own.

"Huh-oh," Momonga was well aware of how Eve behaved thanks to him leaving her alone at Nazarick just for a short time. And then when he had visited the house, she definitely had it out for him.

Jack's eyes then moved over towards Nabe, the Doppelganger and tilted his head to the side slightly. From what he can tell, she was someone who a lot of the null characters of Nazarick were jealous of, just because she was currently the closest NPC to be with Ainz.

He was sure that CZ, or Shizu, would have the same issue, or not at all depending on how they saw it. She was considered the cutest and most popular of the Pleiades. Perhaps the others would think it was an adequate choice for a supreme being to bring her along?

Jack just let his thoughts roam until the puff of a short red head appeared between him and the two friends. His eyes lowered to meet with the one's of the girl known as Brita. "Hm...?"

"Aren't you going to check on those potions you were talking about?"

"That's right," Jack said nonchalantly. He didn't need to be reminded, he was going to get to that later, but it seems she wanted to come along. Not that he minded. "Momonga-san, would you like to come along."

Momonga waved his hand in dismissal, "I'm alright, once I've gotten settled in here, we'll look at doing some quests tomorrow. We'll see you off when you leave for Baharuth though and.. Just call me Momon now, it's shorter and to the point."

Jack stared at his friend for a moment when he had removed the 'ga' from the end of his name. It wasn't that he minded all that much, it was just strange. Why not just go with his actual name?

Looking over towards the young woman with red hair, he would gesture for her to come with as he turned for the door. "It's good seeing you again, Momon-san," he'd say as he waved over his shoulder.

As the two left the building, he would kept going, not even stopping to chat as Brita walked after him.

He hadn't been seen in E-Rantel for days. Though it could just be assumed he was staying home, doing something or studying magic. He was a powerful caster, so no one would suspect he had gone all the way over to the Slane Theocracy and bombed the shit out of the capital.

No one would suspect right?

About halfway to the Pharmacy, he stopped and turned around to face the girl. "It's likely they developed something, so I'd like to hire your team if possible, to escort them to Carne Village and act as their bodyguards until further notice."
