My, am I the first?
Shalltear. She's the guardian of the first, second, and third floors in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
She's a true vampire.
My lord!
The one beloved man who I cannot rule over.
Wha... Hey!
Shalltear, why don't you give it a rest?
Oh, midget girl.
You were here?
It must be rough, Mare, to have such a nutty older sister.
Fake boobs.
What?!
Looks like I was right!
That's why you went to the trouble of using a gate to get here.
You were in a hurry, but since you overstuffed your breasts, they'd shift out of place if you ran.
Shut the fuck up! Not like you have anything either!
I'm still only 76 years old, but you're undead.
It must be rough no longer having a chance to grow.
Why don't you just accept what you've got now?
Bitch! You should think before you speak!
How nostalgic.
Peroroncino, who created Shalltear,
and his older sister Bukubuku Chagama, who created Aura and Mare, used to always fight like this.
What a ruckus.
You two are playing around too much in front of our master.
Cocytus. He's the guardian of the fifth floor.
Both his personality and concept design were created with the word "warrior" in mind.
This midget girl slandered me!
I spoke the truth!
That's enough!
Shalltear. Aura.
That's enough playing around.
My apologies!
You came, Cocytus.
I shall always respond to your summons without delay.
Yes, good work.
Everyone, I apologize for making you wait.
Demiurge.
He's the guardian of the seventh floor in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
He's a demon, as well as the NPCs' commander during defenses.
Now, everyone. To our supreme leader, the ritual of fidelity.

Ahh, the enjoyment we'd lost starts to throb forth again
It's all we want
The world of the DMMO-RPG Yggdrasil changed after the last day of service.
Though magic is still usable, the rules have changed and NPCs now have a will of their own.
Raise your heads.
Why am I showing them such a depressed and hopeless aura?!
You all did well to gather here. Thank you.
Your thanks is wasted upon us.
We have all pledged ourselves to you.
Lord Momonga, you may find us lacking.
Regardless, we vow to work our hardest and to live up to the expectations of the Supreme Beings, our creators.
We vow this to you!
Wonderful, my Guardians!
I have confidence that you will all be able to fulfill your duties without fail!
Now, then.
Currently, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is caught up in an unknown situation.
I already had Sebas survey our surroundings.
Grasslands?
Yes. Completely different from the swamps that surrounded the Great Tomb of Nazarick,
I could not confirm a single building, human, or monster within a one kilometer radius.
Good work, Sebas.
It seems that Nazarick has been transported to an unknown land for some reason.
Leader of the Guardians, Albedo,
as well as the defensive leader, Demiurge.
Yes!
Strengthen our communications network and fortify our defenses!
Yes, sir!
Mare, is there a way to conceal the Great Tomb of Nazarick?
I-It would be difficult only using magic.
However, if we covered the walls with dirt and buried ourselves in vegetation...
You want to smear the glorious walls of Nazarick with dirt?
Albedo! Don't make unnecessary remarks.
Yes. I am very sorry, Lord Momonga.
Is it possible to conceal ourselves by covering our walls with dirt?
Y-Yes. As long as you allow it, of course...
Yes, a random mound would look unnatural.
Sebas, were there any hills in the area?
No. Unfortunately, we are surrounded by flatlands.
I see. Then, what would happen if we made dummy hills in the area?
I believe we would blend in with such a surrounding.
All right, then that's what we'll do.
Afterwards, we'll hide the areas too open to cover with some illusions.
Y-Yes. I understand.
Lastly, I wanted to ask each guardian something.
First, Shalltear.
What kind of a person am I to you?
A crystallization of beauty.
The most beautiful person in this world!
Cocytus.
Stronger than all of the Guardians, a man worthy to be the absolute ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Aura.
A merciful leader who excels at foresight.
Mare.
A-A very kind person.
Demiurge.
A man who makes wise decisions and acts upon them efficiently.
A man who truly fits the word "inscrutable".
Sebas.
The head of the Supreme Beings and a merciful leader who stayed with us until the end.
And lastly, Albedo.
The highest ranking of all the Supreme Beings and our ultimate master.
As well as the man I love!
I-I see.
I have heard all your thoughts.
Continue working faithfully in my name!
Yes!
I'm tired.
Huh? What the hell is with their glorious views of me?!
Those guys are serious.
Th-That was really scary, Sis.
Seriously, I thought we would collapse from the pressure.
To think that he would be this incredible.
So that's what Lord Momonga is like when he's truly acting as our ruler.
So it seems.
It appears he has answered our vow of fidelity.
He was completely different when he was with us.
Lord Momonga was super kind!
He even gave us something to drink just because we seemed thirsty.
S-So that's what Lord Momonga is like when he stands as a ruler.
It was amazing!
It's just as you say!
He considered our feelings and acted as an absolute ruler should.
As expected of our creator!
Among the 41 Supreme Beings, he is the one who stands at the top!
He is a merciful man who stayed behind in this land until the very end.
Then, I shall return first.
I don't know where Lord Momonga went, but I should be by his side.
Sebas, inform me immediately if anything happens.
Especially if Lord Momonga calls for me. I'll rush straight to his side!
No matter what I have to sacrifice in exchange!
Tell Lord Momonga that I will need time if he calls me to his bedchamber, though.
I would need to bathe first.
Of course, if he wants me to go without bathing...
I understand.
Then I shall take my leave, fellow Guardians.
Is something wrong, Shalltear?
What is it, Shalltear?
H-His amazing presence has excited me so much that my underwear has undergone a bit of a crisis.
You slut!
What?! We just received a load of Lord Momonga's energy! We got such a reward!
A girl who doesn't get wet from something like that that is crazy, you wide-mouthed gorilla!
You lamprey!
I was created in this image by the Supreme Beings.
That's the same for me, you know?!
Aura, I'll leave the issues between women to other women.
Hey, Demiurge! Are you planning on forcing me to take care of this?!
If it escalates, I'll intervene.
Goodness. Is this really something worth fighting over?
Cocytus!
Personally, I'd be very interested in the result.
Huh?
It would be a great addition to our forces and would secure the future of Nazarick.
Wh-What do you mean?
A great ruler should have an heir, right?
Lord Momonga stayed behind until the end.
However, he may leave for another place like the others someday.
It would be nice if he left someone we could pledge our fidelity to in his place.
Um, s-so you mean that one of them would give birth to Lord Momonga's heir?
What kind of blasphemy are you spouting?!
But, wouldn't it be nice to pledge ourselves to Lord Momonga's descendant, too?
That would be nice...
No, that would be wonderful.
What a wonderful situation!
Ahh, to be called Uncle! And the child would sometimes ride on my shoulders...
By the way, Mare.
Why are you dressed as a girl?
Th-This is something that Bukubuku Chagamao chose for me.
Um, she said I was a "trap", so I-I'm pretty sure that I'm supposed to be a boy.
Then, perhaps all young boys in Nazarick are supposed to be dressed like that.
Now, Cocytus. Come back to reality, please.
What a wonderful scene.
That is truly a sight to wish for.
Good for you.
Albedo! Shalltear!
Are you both still fighting?
They finished fighting. Right now, they're...
We're deciding who the head wife will be.
It would be strange if the absolute ruler of Nazarick only had one wife.
However, it has yet to be decided who will be his official wife.
That is a very interesting matter, but will you give us our orders first?
Right. You're right. Shalltear, we shall discuss this at length another time.
I have no problems with that.
Then, let us begin execution of the plans.
I only took on the class of magician, but since I'm level 100 I should have enough strength to swing a sword.
But...
The fact hasn't changed that I can't weld or equip items from other classes.
It's been three days since I came to this world.
I don't feel any fear or unease with this form at all.
Have I changed mentally as well as physically?
First, I know that if I get emotionally unstable, something forcefully calms me back down.
Also, I neither feel hunger nor a need to sleep.
My libido was wacky for a while there, but since I didn't act on it, that's gone, too.
Lord Momonga.
Yes.
Create Greater Item!
Just like in Yggdrasil, it seems that any items created by magic are usable.
Narberal, I'm going to go out for a bit.
The guards have already been prepared.
No, I will go alone.
Please wait!
Lord Momonga, if you go alone, we cannot perish as your shields if something were to happen.
There is something I wish to do discreetly.
I won't allow anyone to accompany me.
I understand.
This is so freaking tiring.
Well, I can't use magic in this armor, but I'll make do with my items.
1st Floor Great Tomb Central Mausoleum
Jealousy, Avarice, and Wrath.
Why are the three demon generals under Demiurge on the first floor?
Hm?
Demiurge?!
Lord Momonga.
You came here without any guards?
And that armor...
H-How did he know it was me?!
No, the only people who can freely transport within Nazarick are those with guild rings.
Of course he knew.
Well, there's a reason for all of this.
So that's how it is.
Huh?
As expected of a ruler, your attention to detail is impeccable.
Huh? What? I just wanted to go outside and get some fresh air!
However, I cannot allow you to go out without anyone accompanying you.
Then I will allow just one to accompany me.
Thank you very much for accepting my selfishness.
Whoa.
Amazing. I've never seen such a clear night sky before.
The sky on the 6th floor that Blue Planet made was pretty amazing, but this is even more so!
Fly!
I can see so far with just the light from the moon and stars!
I can't believe that this world is real, Blue Planet!
The stars are all glittering like diamonds in the sky.
I believe this world shines so that my lord can adorn himself with its riches.
That may be true.
I may have come to this land to obtain this box of treasures.
No, it's not something I should hoard for myself.
Perhaps, this is so I can adorn Nazarick and my friends in Ains Ooal Gown with it.
If you wish it, we will use all the forces of Nazarick to obtain it for you.
At this point, when we don't even know what exists out there?
But, well, taking over the world might be enjoyable.
Well, there'd be no way we'd be able to do something like that.
Even so, am I really the only one who came here from Yggdrasil?
My message skill didn't reach anyone,
but it might be because they're too far away or the effects of the magic has changed.
If that's the case, if the name of Ains Ooal Gown is spread throughout the world...
Earth Surge.
On top of that, he's using a skill to increase his magic range and his own class skills to amplify it as well.
As expected of Mare!
Lord Momonga.
May I ask what you plan to do?
I'll go visit Mare while he's working.
What do you think I should give him as a reward?
I am sure that he will be happy just to have you speak to him.
Yes.
Lord Momonga!
Why are you here?
Did I make a mistake?
No, Mare.
Your work preventing others from finding Nazarick is very important.
Y-Yes.
That's why, Mare. I wanted you to know just how satisfied I am.
Yes, Lord Momonga!
Right. Then, this is for you.
Ring of Ains Ooal Gown!
This is an item only for the Supreme Beings. I can't possibly accept it!
Calm down, Mare!
Huh?
Movement between the floors of Nazarick is limited, but you can go where you wish with this ring.
Now, take this ring and serve Nazarick well!
Th-Thank you very much!
I will be sure to work hard to live up to s-such a treasure!
I'm depending on you, Mare.
Yes! Um, by the way, Lord Momonga.
Why are you dressed like that?
W-Well, that is...
It's simple, Mare.
Albedo.
Lord Momonga didn't want to bother his subordinates while they were working.
If we knew that Lord Momonga was here,
everyone would stop what they were doing just to bow down to his greatness.
Isn't that right, Lord Momonga?
As expected of Albedo!
You know just what I'm thinking.
As the Leader of the Guardians, this much is expected.
No, even if I didn't have this title, I am confident that I would understand your feelings.
I-I see.
Is something the matter?
N-No, it's nothing.
Right. Then, Mare.
Sorry for interrupting you.
Return to your work.
Y-Yes. Then, excuse me, Lord Momonga.
That's right. I should give one to you as well, Albedo.
Give me one of what?
As the Leader of the Guardians, you need this item as well.
Thank you very much.
Huh?
W-Work diligently for me.
Demiurge, I will prepare one for you another day.
I understand. I will work hard to be worthy of such a ring.
Then, I have done what I planned to do.
I will return before I get into trouble.
All riiiiight!
Tomorrow morning, attack the next village.
Guide the beasts to their cage.
Don't you gimme your love 'n passion
Let's writhe in Hell zutsuu shite go

Don't you gimme your love 'n passion

The thorns of love will make us numb
