◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

 
It was a considerably, no, very rude letter.

It ordered me to personally bring a bouquet of Phelan flowers by 12 o’clock.

Of course, the main text was a bit more courteous than that.

Ah. No.

Rather, by trying to be polite while making such a demand, it seemed even ruder.

“10 minutes left.”

I leaned against the wall and checked the clock on the distant city hall building.

It was early morning, so it was empty and quiet without a single person passing by.

It seemed unlikely she would come.

“Tsk…”

Well, I had expected it to some extent.

Even though Madam Lichtenburg had submitted to me, she hadn’t thrown away all her pride.

By 12 o’clock. In front of the Imperial Academy. Personally.

She wouldn’t fulfill all three of these conditions.

Perhaps a maid would come to the Imperial Academy tomorrow morning and deliver it on her behalf.

Well, if she comes out like that, I have no choice but to use drastic measures.

I have to show her that I can really threaten her daughters.

I should infiltrate the Lichtenstein mansion sometime, detonate a bomb in the garden, and come back.

Then Madam will also be frightened and beg again.

No. Would she still have a stiff back?

“Ugh.”

Anyway, just because of her pride.

If she kept being stubborn till the end, I was pondering how to deal with her when-

Screech…

A luxurious carriage turned the corner and stopped.

It had the emblem of the Lichtenburg family engraved on it.

I thought a servant would come out from inside, but-

“Hmm.”

“…”

Surprisingly, Madam herself got out.

No, this was really too unexpected.

By 12 o’clock. In front of the Imperial Academy. Personally.

I didn’t know she would fulfill all three of these conditions.

No, it’s still too early to relax.

Because there’s still a possibility that she didn’t bring the requested item, the Phelan flowers, and will give me a big fuck you.

That thing wrapped in cloth in her hand does look like a bouquet of Phelan flowers though…

“What are you doing?”

Perhaps sensing the mana, Madam asked with a serious expression.

Just in case, I spread a recognition-blocking barrier so that sound wouldn’t leak out.

Even if I can’t hide the fact that Madam and I met, at least the content of the conversation must never leak out.

“I just muffled the sound.”

“Then stop with the hypocritical tone.”

“Haha. Should I?”

“…”

What.

Why.

When I spoke as she wanted, she suddenly had an angry face.

“Did you bring what I wanted?”

“Before that. I wish you would stop doing this.”

“Doing what?”

“Calling someone in the middle of the night and using them like a servant.”

Madam glared at me and spoke.

What.

I thought she had submitted since she came while fulfilling my demands, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

“Why.”

“Pardon?”

“Why should I do that?”

“…”

Madam glared at me with a disgusted expression and closed her mouth tightly.

It was the expression she had when looking at a beast not worth talking to.

“There’s a saying that a single word can pay off a thousand won debt.”

“…?”

“It means don’t ruin your score at the end by saying the wrong word after doing your job well. If you come out like that, I have no other choice.”

“…”

Perhaps a bit surprised, Madam’s mouth opened slightly.

Her lips moved as if trying to say something, but no sound came out.

Madam bowed her head deeply and spoke in a voice as small as an ant crawling in-

“… I’m sorry.”

Like this.

“What?”

“I said I’m sorry… For speaking rudely.”

“…”

For a moment, I almost let out a sigh in surprise.

I didn’t know she would apologize so cleanly here.

No, this person always lowers her pride in unexpected areas.

She was a person who defies prediction in many ways.

“But it’s difficult for me if you keep doing this. I’m also a person who has my own life. If you keep calling me out like this…”

Madam Lichtenburg spoke while avoiding my gaze.

She must have some misunderstanding?

Indeed, those who hold a weakness like this usually gradually increase the difficulty of the tasks they demand.

In that process, they make them reveal new weaknesses, and then use those weaknesses to make them do even worse things…

Well, in this way, they try to make them practically no different from slaves.

“I’d like you not to misunderstand. Today, I specially summoned you because I urgently needed something. Of course, I will also give you compensation for it.”

“C-Compensation?”

You heard it right, Madam.

It is compensation.

“You’re saying you’ll give me compensation?”

“Yes. If I received the item, I should pay the price, right?”

“P-Price for the crime?”

“I already consider that paid. Is my memory wrong?”

Madam Lichtenburg can never be tamed.

It’s the history of Lichtenburg that they didn’t yield even under the oppression of a powerful duke or the imperial family.

There was no way Madam would submit to a mere commoner who was just a bit stronger.

So it was not right to keep instilling in her a sense of humiliation.

If possible, it would be the right direction to bring Lichtenburg over as an ally.

Erica was also a necessary part for the future.

And Julia too… No. Never mind her.

“All paid…”

As if having a hard time accepting reality for a moment, Madam repeated the same words.

The item she sent Henderson to give me was really annoying, to the point where I was angry enough to want to take one of Madam’s fingers, but if I could win Lichtenburg as an ally, I was willing to forgive that much.

Just like today, if I could gain a partner who would supply the items I wanted under the table…

Even if Madam occasionally groveled before me, I could endure it.

“Why. Do you feel it’s not enough to pay respects to me at the social gathering? Then next time…”

“Ah! No! It’s fine! I’m satisfied!”

“Good. Then let’s see the item.”

Madam handed me something wrapped in cloth with a slightly sullen face.

The work was handled well to some extent, but she seemed dissatisfied that not everything went according to her thoughts.

It would be good to stop pouting.

Because from now on, there will be many things that won’t go according to your thoughts.

“Here. The bouquet of Phelan flowers you ordered. It’s a good thing they were in the garden, otherwise it would have been quite a hassle to obtain them.”

I slightly tilted a flower and brought it close to my nose to smell it.

It was a strange fragrance I had never smelled anywhere before.

Both in appearance and fragrance, it didn’t resemble any flower on Earth.

Indeed, it was just as described in the original work.

I quickly activated ‘Examine’.

[Bouquet of Phelan Flowers]


Status: Fresh

Description: A flower used as an ingredient for perfume or mana energy antidote. Both the flowers and their seeds fetch quite a high price.

It definitely wasn’t a lie.

Well, there was no reason to lie about something like this in the first place.

I took the bouquet from Madam Lichtenburg with both hands.

It was heavier than I thought since there were quite a lot of flowers.

“This is your compensation.”

“What is this?”

“Open it when you go back.”

I handed Madam a small envelope.

It was a small gift to instill trust in me.

Of course, I don’t think she will trust a monster who single-handedly killed Henderson just with something like that…

Ha. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.

Why did Madam Lichtenburg have to send Henderson of all people…?

“It was a good meeting.”

“…”

I smiled brightly after deactivating the barrier.

Madam was startled by my sudden change in attitude, but only glared at me without a word.

Well, a trusting relationship can be built gradually.

For now, I guess I can think of her as an obedient dog.

No, a fierce dog that can bite off my arm if I make a slight mistake.

It seemed it would take quite some time for this fierce dog to become my reliable ally.

“I look forward to our next meeting, Young Lady.”

“Young Lady…!”

Madam was greatly startled.

But I paid no attention and grabbed Madam’s hand, bowed, and kissed the back of her hand.

If there’s no one watching, I can show you plenty of courtesy too.

But Madam seemed to take this as mockery rather than courtesy, as her face turned completely red.

It was really fun to tease both the daughter and the mother.

With a final parting, I turned my back and headed towards the Imperial Academy.

Perhaps afraid that someone might hear now that the recognition-blocking barrier was gone, Madam couldn’t bring herself to call out to me.

While walking and constantly savoring Madam’s expression from earlier, I soon arrived at the chairwoman’s residence.

“You’re back. So what happened?”

“Nothing much. Someone suddenly called me out.”

When I opened the main gate, Emilia, who had been waiting the whole time, came running to greet me.

“Who was it?”

“It wasn’t a dangerous person, so don’t worry. Ah, and do we have a vase in this house?”

“A vase? Yes. There should be one.”

“Then please keep this from dying.”

“Okay…”

I handed the bouquet to Emilia.

When Emilia lifted the cloth to take a look, her expression seemed to turn grim for a moment.

What was that? Did I see things because I’m tired?

“Yawn… I’ll go to sleep now.”

“Yes. Good night.”

Leaving behind Emilia, who had a somewhat chilly voice today, I headed straight to the bedroom.

There was something I had to think about in preparation for the upcoming event.

‘This is the only timing for Ainz’s awakening.’

In the original work, Ainz never rose to the ranks of the strong and remained at the level of a pathetic supporting character favorable to Hertlocker.

According to the setting, Ainz was born with tremendous talent, but due to his wicked personality and weak mentality, he couldn’t demonstrate it and crumbled.

In other words, if only his mindset was fixed, he had the potential to become a helpful companion in the future story development.

So the timing I chose for his awakening was none other than this Battle Magic practice class.

In the original work, Hertlocker saves Ainz when he is in danger.

After that, Ainz stops being jealous of Hertlocker and becomes a foolish idiot who follows Hertlocker everywhere, endlessly expressing admiration and offering support.

But what if there is no one to save Ainz when he is in danger?

Will he ultimately fail to fix his personality and die, or will he learn humility in the face of the fear of death, awaken, and survive?

I decided to bet on the latter.

If it fails…

“Phew…”

I’ll just consider it losing an extra.

I had been trying to save too many people out of greed.

It was time to start moving more calculatingly.

.

.

.

“Oh, you’re back?”

“Yeah…”

Sighing as she entered the house, Madam Lichtenburg ran into Erica.

Did she wait to greet me!

Madam, who had been in a bad mood after being humiliated earlier, felt like everything was being healed.

But it was a bit strange that Erica was in outdoor attire…

Well, she could occasionally wear it indoors too, right?

Madam decided not to make a big deal out of it.

“Mother. Who did you meet?”

“Huh? Just… an important person. You don’t need to know. I’m tired, so I’ll go to sleep now.”

“Ah, yes! Mother.”

Madam answered bluntly without realizing it and passed by Erica.

It wasn’t a lie.

If someone who possessed the power to single-handedly slaughter everyone in this mansion wasn’t an important person, then what was?

Of course, she didn’t mention the fact that that person used her like an errand boy and freely insulted her.

Just thinking about it again made Madam feel dizzy, so she staggered into the bedroom and tightly closed and locked the door.

“Phew. What on earth is it?”

First, the ‘compensation’ Schlus gave.

Madam picked up the knife on the table and casually ripped off the seal.

What came out of it was a note and an investment certificate.

“What…?”

Madam opened the note first with a puzzled look.

-It is compensation worth 10 times the price of the flowers. Only if you can trust me and wait for just 2 weeks.

It was incomprehensible.

Madam tilted her head and checked the investment certificate.

-The owner of this stock certificate owns 10 shares of the Holy Knights.

“Holy Knights?”

Madam’s eyes narrowed.

The Holy Knights were a small provincial knightly order that had recently started to gain a bit of recognition.

She had heard news that the stock price had risen recently.

She must have kept yesterday’s stock price table somewhere.

Madam opened the drawer and unfolded the scroll she took out.

“Holy Knights… 100 Tirions.”

10 shares at 100 Tirions each made a total of 1000 Tirions.

But that amount of Phelan flowers would be worth at least 100,000 Tirions…!

Schlus Hainkel had given a measly 1 percent of the value as compensation.

“Ha! Really… This is absurd.”

She didn’t have high expectations in the first place since he was a commoner, but she was still slightly annoyed.

If it was going to be like this, he shouldn’t have given her compensation at all.

What was with this 1 percent compensation?

Just as Madam was about to rip up the stock certificate in anger-

-It is compensation worth 10 times the price of the flowers. Only if you can trust me and wait for just 2 weeks.

She glanced at the note once more and shoved the stock certificate into the drawer.

If his words were true, this stock certificate would be worth 1 million Tirions in 2 weeks.

Its value would increase by a whopping 1000 times.

“Ha… Haha…”

She found it so ridiculous that laughter came out even as she thought about it herself.

Does that make sense?

A stock rising 1000 times in just 2 weeks.

Madam scoffed at the absurdity and slammed the drawer shut.

The two daughters are not enough for MC, therefore the mother isn’t spared too.
