The Monster Association battle settled.
The Hero Association reported it extensively.
And Ayato's reputation once again grew among countless Heroes.
But to this.
Ayato didn't care.
After all!
He wasn't a Hero.
And to be precise, all the Heroes were his employees.
Having a little reputation among them was enough.
Besides that.
He had more important things to do.
The House of Evolution.
"Oh my god, all the values are approaching perfect. I really want to dissect his corpse."
Sumire looked at Garou in the life fluid, as if she couldn't wait to tear him apart.
Ayato patted her head and warned, "There's only one experimental subject. Don't accidentally kill him."
Sumire blinked, looking disappointed. "Since Master says so, I'll try my best."
"Not 'try my best.' You must."
Sumire looked at the serious Ayato and smiled, "Hehe, don't worry, leave it to me. I'm very reliable."
"It better be."
After hesitating for a moment, Ayato used contact magic to contact Asia.
Just in case.
It was better to have the strongest healer among his servants on hand.
On the other side, Dr. Genus pushed up his glasses and said respectfully, "Lord, compared to the safety of the experimental subject, I am more worried that he might go berserk."
"Should we ask one of the several, like Grayfia-sama, to be here?"
Ayato waved his hand. "Don't worry. I've placed word magic inside his body. There won't be any problems."
"And if something unexpected happens, Sumire just needs to call my name, and I'll be there immediately."
"I see."
Dr. Genus bowed respectfully. "You are wise, my lord. I was overthinking it."
With that, Dr. Genus began frantically operating countless machines with a look of frenzy.
The limiter.
One of the ultimate mysteries of humanity.
Perhaps it had truly revealed the tip of the iceberg to him.
Watching this, Ayato nodded with satisfaction.
Only when the workhorses focus on their work can the boss rest assured.
Suddenly, Ayato's expression shifted.
Because!
He had just received a contact from Elsa.
"Finally appeared?"
The corner of Ayato's mouth curled up.
Hum!
A magic circle flashed.
Ayato's figure vanished.
Re:Zero World.
Servant Headquarters.
"Where is Emilia?"
"She just entered the royal capital."
Elsa greeted him and said, "Felt is watching her."
"Mm."
Ayato nodded. "In that case, let's go."
On the road!
The royal capital was as lively as ever.
Various vendors lined both sides of the streets.
Among the bustling crowds, there were plenty of thieves.
All of them wanted to give some newcomers to the capital an unforgettable gift.
"Master, over here."
Felt, who had already sent out a contact, waved to Ayato and said, "That one named Emilia is over there."
Following her finger, Ayato saw a beautiful girl sitting by a fountain, eating ice cream.
A little creature was beside her.
Emilia and Ram.
Oh, and a Puck.
Ayato sensed for a moment, his eyes lighting up slightly.
Whether the original plot was lying or not.
At the very least, this Puck was genderless.
That was fine.
If handled well...
He could directly recruit two servants.
"Master, should I just tie them up and bring them here?"
Elsa said eagerly, "If they won't become your servants, we can just kill them."
Ayato: "..."
Good grief.
This thinking... was very dangerous.
"No. I generally don't use violence to recruit servants."
"Huh?"
Elsa was stunned, then said instinctively, "But Master, you beat me up pretty badly back then?"
Felt said quietly, "And me, Master. Is it really okay for you to say that?"
"You two were special circumstances."
Ayato said righteously. "One attacked me, one stole my wallet. You still have the nerve to bring that up?"
"Heh... hehe." x2
Elsa and Felt twitched their mouths.
Although they wanted to complain...
They really couldn't argue.
"Come on, let's go together."
Ayato walked towards the fountain.
Hearing this!
Elsa and Felt followed close behind.
Tap, tap, tap.
Puck's ears twitched. "Emilia, someone's coming."
Emilia and Ram, who were eating ice cream, both turned their heads and were slightly stunned.
The sight of one handsome guy and two beautiful girls came into view.
Ram stepped forward and said politely, "I'm sorry, please stop."
"We refuse pick-up lines. Please leave with your harem."
Ayato: "..."
Good grief. That mouth was really poisonous.
Elsa and Felt's gazes, however, were slightly surprised, their expressions becoming subtle.
Seeing through Master's essence on the first meeting?
What she said was unexpectedly accurate.
