Overlord Blue Citadel Alternate

『Grand Tour』

A swirling vortex of magical energy appeared in front of the exit to the Waste City of Vilisyrteria, a portal to the outside. Within seconds Nemu and Enri emerged through the portal, as if jumping through a rift to meet the other side!

Landing on their feet, their legs partially bent, they blinked seeing the interior.

"Whoa!" Nemu exclaimed obnoxiously seeing the insides of what appeared to be an underground City. The glowing water, the sparkling ceiling and the massive pillar on the Northern side of the place.

"Is that some kind of castle?" Enri pointed towards the Pillar as Jack emerged behind them, his hands folded behind his back. Her eyes narrowed on him, her big round eyes taking him in.

"So it seems," Jack replied sarcastically with a smug look on his face as he looked her over. She had eyes of wonder, surprise and awe. All of this had been 'hidden' underground for hundreds of years according to the story he shared.

If they had studied the ruins from the Greed Kings, they'd be able to conclude it was from around that era, of course these villagers likely did not possess such knowledge.

"Jack!" Nemu immediately tackled his leg, wrapping her arms around it as she stared up at him. Pressing herself into his leg as to get his attention.

Jack glanced down at her with a brow raised. Part of him wanted to punt her off his leg, but at the same time he wanted to pick her up and smother her in his arms. She was absolutely adorable. "Hm?"

"Can we go to the castle? Can we? Can we?" She leaned back slightly, her hands now just grabbing at his pant leg, jumping up and down.

"Nemu!" Enri scowled.

"It's fine," Jack said as he narrowed his eyes on Enri for a moment, then looked back down towards the girl with her fingers curled into his pants. "Want to ride on my shoulders?"

"Pfff.." She immediately let go of his leg, "I'm too old for that," she placed her hands on her hips looking up at the much taller dragon man.

"Suit yourself," glancing over towards Enri, he held out his hand for it to be held. "Take my hand."

It wasn't a question, it was an order. Not that it would've made her choose not to if it was a choice to begin with. Enri reached her hand out slowly and grasped his open hand, letting his fingers curl around her hand. Unsurprisingly, his hand was warm, even through the gloves he wore.

His eyes then flickered down to Nemu who was smiling up at him, holding out her own hand for him to take. Rolling his eyes though, he took her hand with a light squeeze, causing her to wince.

"Onward then," Jack smirked as they began to make their way into the underground city. As they entered the commercial looking district, there were people standing around by the storefronts.

They were in armor and uniforms, dresses and other elaborate attire. Most of the ones present outside were members of the Honor Guard. Some of the maids were cleaning the streets, while some of the buildings were being refurnished.

"This is amazing!" Nemu was looking from left to right, Jack's arm acting like a leash as she moved around him. Though he was careful not toe trip or walk into her when she got in the way.

Enri smiled down at her little sister, and somewhat felt sorry for Jack as he had to deal with her supposed misbehavior. However as she watched him, smile, watching her she couldn't help but smile herself. He seemed in some capacity to enjoy himself from what she could see.

Though she was curious, this place did give a feeling of once being lived in, even with the renovations. However she wasn't seeing any children present. Why wasn't there any children? This place had been underground for hundreds of years. All she was seeing was young teens and adults.
