Awkward, very awkward…
After bidding farewell to that auntie and little sister, Irubyue coldly said that Lakyus had something to relay to Iri, and they should find a less crowded place first.
Iri suggested going to her hotel. After that, Irubyue didn't say another word to Iri the whole time. It seemed Irubyue was quite concerned about her figure, after all, she now had a sweetheart!
"Um… Irubyue?" Iri didn't quite know how to talk to Evil-Crushing Lolita. She had already led her to the door of her hotel room, but she still remained silent.
"What's wrong? Is Big Iri-daren here?" Irubyue replied unhappily.
"Don't take what a child says to heart, okay?" Iri had a helpless expression, thinking to herself, 'Is it my fault?' Then she opened her room door.
"Big Iri-daren actually lives in a place like this… That's quite unexpected." Irubyue said, looking around after entering.
You're still going on about it? Why don't you go tell your teammates from Blue Rose? Aren't all of them well-endowed? Yes! Including Gaguran! It seems Evil-Crushing Lolita is indeed very concerned about her lack of curves. In that case, I'll tease you a bit!
"I'm already very satisfied to be able to live in a place like this. When I traveled with Fei Fei-gege before, we often lived in houses without ceilings!" Iri said, then took off the mask Irubyue had lent her. Anyway, this thing was useless; she'd be recognized even with it on. It was better to return it to her first, so Iri handed the mask to Irubyue.
"Feifei-daren?" As soon as Ainz's father was mentioned, Irubyue's voice softened considerably. See! This was Irubyue's weakness.
"I miss the old days, it's a pity…" Iri said, feigning a regretful tone.
"Is that so…" Irubyue also sighed as if infected, and from Irubyue's perspective, what Iri said was indeed worth grieving over.
After all, in Iri's setting, Fei Fei's identity was like the Prince of Nazarick. Now, the country of this Prince was about to go to war with the country this Prince was protecting.
Based on the Prince's current Adventurers identity, he couldn't interfere in conflicts between countries, and the Prince had also stated that he wouldn't help either side of this war. He only stood with the innocent civilians. What a noble person!
It's just a pity… Such a noble person was actually the Prince of the country that started the war. This was indeed very ironic.
Of course, it's all a setting! Just a setting!
"Irubyue, I actually envy you. You don't have to consider so many things, you don't have to care about so many things…" Iri paused, looking at Irubyue with a hint of sadness, and continued.
"And your figure…"
"Are you mocking me?!" Irubyue immediately became unhappy when she heard the last sentence.
"Of course not. Fei Fei-gege said that being too big would affect movement, and he preferred smaller ones." Iri said.
"Eh? Eh? Did Feifei-daren really say that?!" Irubyue's tone immediately changed. If she took off her mask, Irubyue under the mask would surely be full of pleasant surprise.
"He did, yes, that's why I envy you!" Iri continued to answer, feigning a very melancholic expression.
"What else did Feifei-daren say? Did he say what height he likes? What about hair color? Did he say?" Irubyue immediately leaned close to Iri, aggressively 'interrogating' her.
"Uh… that, Irubyue, I remember you said Lakyus had something to tell me, didn't you?" Iri was also startled by Irubyue's intensity. She only wanted to tease him a little and didn't expect him to react so strongly. As expected of Ainz's father's crazy fan!
"Ah… right, that's it." Irubyue also noticed her loss of composure, stepped back, and said.
"Lakyus asked me to tell you that during Tina's activities in Theocracy, she discovered that Theocracy had dispatched a mysterious small team towards the Katz Plains border. Tia is currently tracking this team and there has been no response yet. It's very likely that this team is the Black Scripture we encountered last time, so Lakyus asked me to remind you to be careful." Irubyue said.
This… this is quite important information! In the original work, Theocracy only sent Astrology Thousand Miles to monitor the battlefield, but now they've sent people directly? A change in the world line? This is a bit tricky.
"Is Theocracy coming to join the fun? I understand, thank you, Irubyue." Iri thanked Irubyue; this information was indeed too important.
"So Iri, what do you plan to do? Will you report to your father?" Irubyue asked.
…Iri didn't answer and remained silent. Reporting was definite, but how to report? Iri was struggling with this point.
Theocracy was not like the Empire and Kingdom. Theocracy was a country with all sorts of strange tools. Not to mention what other strange things they could bring out, just the Falling Beauty of a Nation, which even Shalltear couldn't withstand, was enough to raise their vigilance. However, how should she explain it to Ainz's father?
According to the original plot, this period was focused on dealing with the Kingdom, Empire, and Holy Kingdom, while Theocracy and Evaluation Country only sent a small number of spies.
So Nazarick had very little intelligence on Theocracy at this time. Shalltear, due to the brainwashing and resurrection, didn't have memories of that attack. So how should Iri report to Ainz's father?
If she made it sound too light and it wasn't taken seriously, what if the Black Scripture really brought out Falling Beauty of a Nation and used it on Ainz's father?
If she made it sound too serious, then how would she explain knowing about the existence of Falling Beauty of a Nation? She had been active in the Empire and E-Rantel during this time, and her only contact with Theocracy was that encounter in the forest with Death Knight.
At that time, she only reported to Nazarick that she had fought a mysterious team, and only learned from Blue Rose that it was Theocracy's secret unit, the Black Scripture, and nothing more…
"I won't bother you any longer. How to judge is up to you to decide. I've delivered my message." Irubyue saw Iri silently pondering the problem and had no intention of staying longer.
"Hmm, thank you for your trouble, for telling me such important information. But… is it okay to tell me such information?" Iri noticed something. Logically… Iri's current position was that of the daughter of the big villain to them. Was it okay for Lakyus and Irubyue to help her like this?
…Irubyue, who had already turned to leave the room, stopped after hearing Iri's question.
"Adventurers do not interfere in the disputes of any country. You are merely a companion of Blue Rose." Irubyue said, then walked out of Iri's room.
Hearing Irubyue's words, Iri was indeed a little touched. These people from Blue Rose were truly good people. In the future, if they had any difficulties, she would help them more!
