The Overlord Journey of Tima, the Creator God

Two, she might still have been able to handle. Any more than that would probably have posed a serious danger.

She did not cherish her own life, but neither did she intend to throw it away meaninglessly.

Besides, she was not yet prepared to use that move...

"Damn it! You're still trying to run?!" With an angry roar, Shalltear activated her flight ability and prepared to pursue the enemy. However, at that moment, Sebas grabbed Shalltear by the shoulder.

"Please calm down, Lady Shalltear."

"Sebas, let go of me, I..."

Just then, a voice filled with fury rang out beside Shalltear's ear.

"Shalltear Bloodfallen!" The voice, sent directly into Shalltear's mind through 'Message,' made her entire body tremble.

She had not felt such fear even when she had been at a disadvantage against the knight just now.

"Ainz..."

"Didn't I tell you? When something happens, contact Albedo or Demiurge first! Report, communicate, discuss—can't you even do these most basic things that even children can do?!"

At that point, the voice suddenly paused.

"Sigh, Sebas, has the enemy already withdrawn?" The intense tone vanished, replaced by a very calm, almost cold voice.

"Yes. The enemy was extremely fast. This subordinate judged that pursuit carried a certain degree of risk and did not recklessly give chase."

"Well done. In that case, it seems the rescue team will not be needed either. Continue carrying out the task I gave you earlier."

"Yes!" Sebas immediately responded. Though it was only a Message, he still gave a respectful bow.

"And then, Shalltear."

"Y-Yes."

"Put down everything you are doing and return to Nazarick. Immediately."

"U-Understood!"

With that, the 'Message' was cut off from the other side.

Shalltear stood there blankly for several seconds, then—

"Lord Ainz! I-I've been hated by Lord Ainz! Waaah..."

She dropped to her knees right there and burst into loud sobs like a child.

By the way, today is Children's Day. Can this author, who still considers herself a child, ask for presents? (//▽//)

Fake Little Girl

Dragon Kingdom—Capital

In a rather cramped yet exceptionally luxurious room, the young girl seated upon the sole chair—the throne—spoke in an innocent, childlike voice that suited both her age and appearance.
