The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
Of course, the most nervous person was Suzuki Satoru, who was sitting in the back watching the screen.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the guild members' cries of despair, feel Nazarick falling apart, and see in his mind scenes of friends no longer being friends and home no longer being home.
Fortunately, none of his worries came true.
Despite all the thought I had, it was only a fleeting moment.
After Medusa changed her posture, Albedo immediately lowered her head, adopting a submissive stance.
Chapter Fourteen: Suzuki Satoru had seen through everything.
"Humph~"
Seeing that the other party had bowed her head and given in, Medusa stopped pursuing the matter and slumped onto Xia Yan's shoulder, no longer looking at her.
She regained her previous relaxed state, languid and alluring.
Whew... I was so scared, I thought they were going to fight...
Seeing that the problem seemed to be solved, Suzuki Satoru breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been in his throat, was finally at ease.
This situation is all because I changed Albedo's settings...
I really shouldn't have done this, Jade Records, what a joke!
Suzuki Satoru silently apologized to a certain setting maniac, even though the other party would certainly never know.
In fact, his worries were completely unnecessary.
After all, Xia Yan personally wrote the character design for Medusa, so he naturally wouldn't leave himself with such a hidden danger.
Xia Yan knows himself very well.
At least he knew he was a compassionate person.
Therefore, as an NPC whose wife is written into the setting, Medusa naturally cannot be without tolerance.
In fact, not only is she able to handle these relationships perfectly, but in order to maintain harmony among the sisters, Xia Yan also gave her bedroom skills that are like a killer move for women.
The idea was inspired by Meladobello from the world of Akame ga Kill!
As the world's number one female warrior in Akame ga Kill! 590, her achievements are truly remarkable.
Not only did he almost take Esdeath's virginity, but if Akame weren't the protagonist, she would have completely turned him gay and successfully trained him.
Although she inexplicably succumbed to Xia Yan's charm and was forcibly straightened out, she only straightened out a little bit.
She did not give up her other hobby.
The view that all heterosexuals are heretics when it comes to cute girls has changed to that all heterosexuals except for Xia Yan are heretics.
You could say it's been straightened, but not completely straightened.
Not only does she encourage Xia Yan to build a harem, but she also actively seeks out high-quality beauties, even more so than Xia Yan himself.
Moreover, unlike Xia, who is a freak beauty and a fanatic of all sexual fetishes, including those of Peroroncino, she is not a freak beauty.
Medusa is portrayed as possessing supreme wisdom.
She knows how to get along with sisters with different personalities.
Albedo, as the chief guardian, also possesses remarkable wisdom. Together with Demiurge and Pandora, they are known as the three top intellectuals of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
The slightly tense atmosphere just now was actually just two clever women testing each other.
Albedo was testing Medusa's attitude in order to determine if she had a chance to take things further and gain recognition.
Medusa saw Albedo's character and way of doing things from this.
She believed that she should have a higher status than Albedo, that of a queen and a concubine, rather than sisters.
Otherwise, if no one keeps them in check, they might do some crazy things on their own.
Therefore, she responded to Albedo's probing with a slightly dissatisfied attitude.
Albedo bowed her head and yielded, acknowledging her lower status. Medusa also stopped being aggressive and let Albedo have her way in the future.
Therefore, Suzuki Satoru's worries were completely unnecessary.
Although the situation appears tense, both sides are actually testing each other with great restraint, and there is no possibility of conflict.
Of course, Suzuki Satoru's concern stemmed mainly from his uncertainty about whether NPCs were truly trustworthy, leading to a lack of security.
After all, at this moment, Xia Yan was the only person he could trust.
The other NPCs, on the contrary, are dangerous entities, like time bombs.
Seeing that the two had confirmed their future relationship, Xia Yan patted the snake tail wrapped around his waist with satisfaction, and then rubbed Albedo's devil horns.
"You will have a chance to repay me, Albedo, I will give you that chance..."
"...But not now. Right now, there are more important problems that haven't been solved."
"I have a few other things to confirm. Satoru, the rest is up to you. Remember to fulfill your responsibilities as president!"
Thinking of how Old Bone in the original work cautiously and cunningly fought against thin air all by himself, Xia Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
He patted Suzuki Satoru on the shoulder and left the Throne Room directly.
"Hey, wait...!"
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Supreme One, Lord Nidhogg! And the Dragon Queen!"
Suzuki Satoru was completely bewildered. He was about to say something when he was drowned out by the voices of Albedo, Sebastian, and the Pleiades battle maids bidding him farewell.
"Leave it to me" means you want me to do what?! Explain yourself, Xia Yan-san!
Seeing the respectful looks in everyone's eyes, Suzuki Satoru coughed lightly, subconsciously trying to appear dignified.
No, the situation is unclear right now, so we need to have a clear division of labor. We can't rely on Xia Yan-san for everything; it seems I can only try to understand Xia Yan's thoughts!
Let me fulfill my responsibilities as president...
It probably means I need to test the loyalty of the other NPCs, confirm whether the equipment, golems, items, magic... everything in the guild is working properly, and also investigate whether there are any threats.
Xia Yan's test just now proves that Albedo is trustworthy...
With Albedo, the strongest guardian, as their protector, they then tested the loyalty of the other NPCs.
Even if a battle occurs during the test, you can safely evacuate!
So that's why Albedo was the first one tested!?
Oh, I see! I understand now. As expected of Xia Yan, he's so thoughtful!
After careful consideration, Suzuki Satoru felt that he understood Natsuhiko's meaning!
So, let's start with these few people in front of us...
"Sebastian! Maids! Come before the throne!"
……
Meanwhile, after leaving the Throne Room, Natsuhiko, unaware of what Suzuki Satoru had imagined, had already brought Medusa to the sixth level of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Stepping out of the portal, you are greeted by an endless sea of trees.
The air temperature and humidity are very pleasant, and you can feel the rich greenery and high oxygen concentration.
Above them was a beautiful night sky, sparkling with starlight, created by magic.
This is the embodiment of the ideal world painstakingly created by the guild's most nature-loving man, from the blue planet.
Chapter Fifteen: The Gambler Will Surely Get the Big House
In reality, the blue planet itself has never actually seen what the starry sky looks like.
The starry sky above was actually a replica he created himself by combining videos, photos, and documents.
There is a large element of romantic fantasy in it, so this starry sky does not seem real to Xia Yan.
But it is indeed beautiful enough.
Xia Yan knew that Suzuki Satoru must be in a complete panic right now.
After all, although he wasn't good at planning and strategizing in the original story, he was always on his own and was forced into the role, so he had no choice but to do it.
Now that I'm here, it's inevitable that I'll develop some dependency.
Having someone to back you up and having to rely solely on yourself are completely different mindsets.
However, he still simply left Suzuki Satoru there alone.
The reason——
First, trust him. After all, Suzuki Satoru has always been a very reliable person, and he is fully capable of handling these matters.
If others can do it, why should I do it myself?
Since the undead have unlimited energy, they can use it to work overtime.
Secondly, it stems from a persecution mentality. Even without witnessing it firsthand, just imagining him putting on a show, appearing calm and collected on the surface while actually panicking inside is quite amusing.
As for the third point, Xia Yan is not in a hurry to explore the surrounding environment.
He wasn't particularly concerned about whether the plot would develop normally or whether any unexpected events would occur; these things were actually irrelevant to him...
Could it be that his purpose in traveling to another world was to show off, slap people in the face, conquer the world, or act like a tyrant?
the answer is negative!
He could do these things without time travel, and even do them better than he does now!
After all, although the original world had a somewhat distorted social structure, it was the easiest type of game for him in terms of difficulty.
On the contrary, in this chaotic world today, there are still a lot of unsolved mysteries.
For example, what exactly did the Dragon Emperor do back then? Why did the phenomenon of time travel occur? And what exactly is Primal Magic?
Moreover, the rules of this world are quite bizarre. Although it is the real world, there are many aspects that are like those in a game, which seems unreasonable.
The difficulty level has clearly dropped from easy to average.
