The Tacit Consent of the Floor Guardians

"This is not a matter we can involve ourselves in. Even if we desire for the Supreme Beings to leave behind heirs, it is impossible to force the Supremes to do so."

"That is not realistic, Demiurge."

Hearing Demiurge's proposal, Sephis nodded, but then quickly shook his head.

He was quite tempted by the suggestion; after all, he also wanted his father to have another child and for himself to have another family member. He had no objections to such a win-win situation.

However, just as he had said, as Floor Guardians, they could not interfere with the Supreme Beings. If the Supremes had no intention of leaving behind heirs, then there was no need to implement their plans at all.

"I know, Sephis, but as I said, this is merely an insurance policy. As long as the Supreme Beings do not explicitly object, there is still a chance."

"As Floor Guardians, we cannot wait for the Supreme Beings' consent for everything. We must also find our own ways to repay the benevolence of the three Lords."

Demiurge shook his head at Sephis's words and patiently explained.

If the Supreme Beings knew the thoughts of their Floor Guardians, they would surely be very gratified.

No, perhaps this is also a test from the Supreme Beings for their Floor Guardians, to judge their capabilities. Ah, as expected of the Supreme Beings; truly, I am still too lacking.

Demiurge thought with some frustration; he was still unable to fully grasp the profound considerations of the Supreme Lords.

"Then, there should be no more problems now, everyone."

After praising the greatness of the Supreme Beings in his heart, Demiurge spoke to the gathered Floor Guardians.

"I agree. As for leaving behind heirs for my beloved Momonga-sama, I have absolutely no objections."

Albedo responded first, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

As Albedo, whose settings had been altered by Momonga, her love for him had reached an almost insane level. Thus, she could be considered the one most in favor of this. If not for a bit of shyness, she would have wanted to rush over to Momonga-sama right now to create heirs together.

"I have no objections either. Herohero-sama's tentacles are already deeply etched into my mind, leaving me unable to extricate myself."

Shalltear, who had been crouching the entire time, said with a look of intoxication, causing Aura and the others nearby to look at her strangely.

"Why are you still crouching, Shalltear?"

"Under the pressure of the three Supremes, I was fantasizing about Herohero-sama's tentacles, so things became a bit... unfavorable."

Shalltear's answer was completely unexpected, giving the other Floor Guardians quite a shock.

"You... how dare you do such an impudent thing in front of the three Supremes!!"

Aura shouted at Shalltear in a fit of exasperation; it was truly shameless.

"You little shrimp, you have the nerve to lecture me? Do you dare say you haven't fantasized about Naiyuan-sama?"

Hearing this, Shalltear looked at Aura with a mocking expression, as if to say, you are the same, don't pretend to be innocent in front of me.

"Th-this... I have always looked at Lord Naiyuan as a father figure. How... how could I possibly have such thoughts!!"

Feeling the strange gaze Sephis was casting at her from the side, Aura waved her hands frantically and retorted loudly.

"Ahem, Aura, if you really... I actually don't have any objections."

"If it's you, Sister, I will support you."

Sephis coughed, then looked at Aura with an approving expression, encouraging her.

Mare, standing to the side, also looked at her with a supportive expression and said.

"How could even you two..."

Looking at the two people encouraging her, Aura said in despair. Heaven knows she really didn't harbor any inappropriate fantasies about Father; at most, she just missed the warmth of his embrace.

"A fine idea. If the three of you can succeed, it will be a joyous occasion for the entirety of Nazarick."

Demiurge watched the Floor Guardians below, who were reacting in various ways, and clapped his hands with a gratified expression.

"Then, everyone, please do your best. For the glorious future of Nazarick!"

"For Nazarick! ×7"

"If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave. As a butler, I must remain by the sides of the three Supreme Beings at all times."

Sebas, who had been listening quietly to the side, saw that things had concluded and was the first to speak to the group.

He needed to go find the Supreme Beings now. After all, having stayed here for so long, it would be a dereliction of his duty if the Supreme Beings had need of him.

"Mm, go ahead, Sebas. By the way, if it's just you alone, it won't be enough to serve the three Supreme Beings. Let the Pleiades assist you."

"For instance, you could arrange for Solution to serve Lord Herohero."

Demiurge nodded at Sebas. Although their relationship was not good, that was of no importance in the face of matters concerning the Supreme Beings.

Thinking about how the other was alone, Demiurge pondered for a moment before speaking to him.

Arranging for Solution was also part of his plan. After all, as a being created by Lord Herohero, he could sense the strange affection Lord Herohero held for her. If possible, letting her be with Lord Herohero was also a good opportunity.

He could not bet everything on Shalltear. If possible, Demiurge still preferred to have a backup plan to ensure nothing went wrong.

"Solution, you say? I understand. I will make the arrangements shortly."

Sebas thought it over and readily accepted the suggestion. Just as the other had said, he was only one person and could not serve three Supreme Beings simultaneously; having the Pleiades assist him was indeed a sound proposal.

"Why can't it be me? I am perfectly capable of serving Lord Herohero as well!"

Shalltear said with a hint of jealousy, as if she couldn't also serve the Supreme Being.

"Don't be ridiculous, Shalltear. Your status is that of a Floor Guardian. Are you saying you want to defy the arrangements made for you by the great Supreme Being, Lord Peroroncino?"

Seeing Shalltear throwing a tantrum, Albedo admonished her. As the Overseer of the Floor Guardians, it was her duty to reprimand the other party here.

"Ah, this—how could I ever dare to defy Lord Peroroncino!"

"Fine, I get it. If I can't go, I won't go."

Upon hearing Albedo speak the name of Peroroncino, Shalltear instantly quieted down, speaking with a touch of reluctance.

"Mm, then that settles it. Everyone, return to your respective floors."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved by Albedo, Demiurge nodded in satisfaction. He addressed the gathered Floor Guardians and was the first to leave, heading back to his own floor.

"See you all later, then!"

"Mm, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Sephis."

"Mm, goodbye, Aura."

The Floor Guardians bid their farewells one after another, choosing to return to their own floors, while Aura ran up to Sephis to say goodbye.

Sephis took one last deep look at her before choosing to leave as well. In the blink of an eye, only the Floor Guardians Aura and Mare remained on the Sixth Floor.
