19 「Just Another Memory」 (2/2)

It was like an instance where you got to know a group of people and then the next day after you've already gotten attached. They were gone.

Even in real life he hardly had a concept of time in his mind. Time to him was either eternity or not long enough. He closed his eyes tightly for a moment before standing straight up again. His fingers trailing off the edge of the casket and falling to his sides.

Ninya came up behind him to be by his side again, wrapping her arms loosely around his left arm. She held it against her body in hopes that the closeness would calm him.

For as she was holding him like this, he didn't know what he was feeling anymore. Was it pain? Was it loss? He wasn't angry anymore, and the sadness was just slinking away. The urge to wail was gone, the urge to crush something was gone. Was it because she was holding onto him?

If anything he felt like he was floating between emotions and wasn't exactly feeling anything. He recognized this as a part of anxiety and even depression, but it wasn't a breakdown.

The weakness they had once seen vanished as he stood firm and clasped her hand in his own.

”We'll have their burial in Carne Village...” That way they could be protected. Not that there was much to steal, but there was plenty to desecrate for any to no reason at all.

The portal he had used to get here was now gone, it had been gone since the last of them stepped out of it. So as Jack turned to look up at the sky, he whispered the spell in order for them to vacate the premises.

「Gate」

The Watchman just stared at the tenth tier magic caster. Many believed that level of power to be a myth, but it had actually been proven to be true and very real.

It was right there in front of him. He watched as the bottoms of the caskets began to give a faint glow and hover into the portal unattended. ”By the four almighty...”

He'd then watch as Jack, Ninya, Min and Sir Gallifrey vanished into the spiraling portal of magical energy before it just vanished seconds later. His eyes then flickered on over to Momon and Nabe who were walking away in two different directions. Momon was going off to get the Wise King of the Forest registered finally, while Nabe on the other hand was going to the cemetery to collect the equipment from the members of the terrorist organization per Momon's orders.

And despite the undead running rampant throughout the streets earlier, people still peeked out their windows to get a glimpse of the giant hamster riding Dark Hero.

Left alone with the Pharmacist and her grandson, the Watchman looked upon them.

…

After reporting the deed of defeating the members of Zurrernorn, Nabe and Momon returned to their temporary home at the Inn. With the windows closed, he sat there on the side of the bed with his helmet off. His pearly white skull and glowing red beady eyes looking forward.

”Right now, the surviving soldiers are talking about my valor in battle throughout the town, raising my name.” He proclaimed as it was all true. He had defeated Khajiit, Clementine and many other unnamed necromancers who were attempting to senselessly go ahead with the ritual after the death of their overseer at his hands. ”It's all according to plan,” though not exactly according to plan.

”So, what shall we do with the two humans?” Nabe asked as she looked over the man, the only supreme one from the Guild that created her.

He turned his head to peer over at her, ”Since Lizzy said she would give me everything... I'm thinking of having them be brought to Carne Village. I plan on having them make potions for me, No, for Nazarick.”

For a moment there he froze as in the back of his mind he thought about Jack. ”For the Duumvirate,” in this way, he was naming Jack as the second leader of the group due to the supposed merger.

”That's right... I needed to contact Albedo...” Placing two fingers by his temple, he recited the spell of

「Message」

”Lord Ainz. Shalltear Bloodfallen has revolted against us.” The absolute voice of Albedo spoke against the loyalty of the True Vampire. One of the few of his own guardians that could overpower Ainz due to her character build itself. Much like how the Guardians belonging to Jack gave him over a year ago.

”Huh?”

However this absolute declaration caused the lights, in which were his beady red eyes, to go out. His sockets dark, Momon was in utter confusion.

Never did he expect for Shalltear of all of them to go against him. If anything, it was likely Abledo was taking something out of context. They were rivals based on their behavior towards one another.

It wasn't like he could go off and just tell Jack that this happened either.

If he were to suddenly have a rogue Guardian, that would make it rather hard for Jack to trust his people, wouldn't it? Considering most of them and their evil alignment could cause problems with humans and other morally sound beings.

He took a deep breath, and on top of that their friends had just died. Even though the event surrounding the deaths of the Swords of Darkness raised him.

Then suddenly that's when someone else used 「Message」, it was Jack.

”Members of the Theocracy have been located by E-Rantel, they're making a run for the border. Once I'm finished here...” There was a pause before he spoke up again, ”I will intercept. We've also located Shalltear, she isn't moving.”

”Hmm...”
