Ainz Ooal Gown: Noble Knight.

Chapter 99 Rune Couldn't Blow His Sister's Secret

As the other members of the Blue Rose praised Rune.

Lahoz finally couldn't hold back.

The tension she had been maintaining—the worry and reserve she carried as the team leader and younger sister—was completely melted away at this moment by the team members' praise of their brother.

Lahoz's eyes shone with an astonishing light, sparkling with undisguised adoration.

"How did my brother manage to wipe out the entire Six Arms gang all by himself in one night?"

When she asked this question, she leaned forward slightly, her whole being radiating a kind of adoration.

Rune had intended to be vague and omit the specific details, but he found it difficult to continue under Lajus's intense gaze.

Oh no, I'm being held hostage.

Rune's gaze involuntarily shifted to the side.

Tina and Tia were sitting side by side across the table.

The ninja sisters moved almost in perfect sync, their wine-red eyes brimming with anticipation.

Even Iveria, the magic chanter who always hid behind a mask, turned his head slightly at this moment.

Only Gegrand leaned back in his chair, his thick arms crossed over his chest, a mischievous smile of anticipation playing on his square face.

"No way—even Iveriai—" Rune groaned silently to himself.

Lajus will be disappointed if she reveals that someone else actually destroyed the Six Arms.

Lajus would say, in a tone that said, "My brother lied to me again," "Oh, I see."

Rune couldn't quite accept the scene, but he was a man of principle.

Defeating the Six Arms was Sebastian's achievement, and since Sebastian considered Rune a friend, it was clearly wrong for him to take credit for his friend's achievement.

Moreover, if he actually did that, it would be tantamount to deceiving his sister.

Rune's lips moved, and just as he was about to refuse, Irahoes grabbed his arm.

They climbed up with both hands, grabbed Rune's arm, and shook it.

Lahoz raised her head, her chin almost resting on his chest, her light green eyes looking up at him.

"Brother~"

With a slightly drawn-out tone, soft and sweet, it was the same tone she used when she sneaked into his room in the middle of the night with her pillow when they were little.

Rune's psychological defenses were shattered by this act of coquetry.

but."

He quickly went over the matter in his mind again.

On the other hand, while Rune couldn't bring himself to betray his friends and sister, his sister wasn't a friend, and Sebastian wasn't his sister.

A little boasting shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Moreover—" His thoughts continued to race. "I need to draw Sebastian's attention. I'm sure Sebastian will understand my good intentions."

Rune silently gave himself a thumbs up for his own logic.

He looked down into Lajus's bright eyes and felt his principles crumbling little by little.

Tina's first reaction was to widen her eyes.

Her hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, her wine-red eyes filled with disbelief.

She turned her head to look at Tia beside her, wanting to confirm if she had seen something wrong.

Tia's expression was almost identical to hers, with wide eyes and slightly parted lips.

The ninja sisters communicated silently through eye contact and subtle sign language.

"Is that the Demon Boss?"

It seems to be the devil's boss.

Is the devilish boss being coquettish?

"It sounds like she's being coquettish."

Tina silently placed the teacup back on the table, so quietly that it made no sound, afraid of disturbing this incredible spectacle.

Iverai and Gegran, on the other hand, were much calmer.

Gagland leaned back in his chair, a "I knew it" expression on his rugged face.

She had long seen the unconscious pride in Lajus's expression when she mentioned her brother.

Moreover, on a quiet night, she noticed that Lachos was affected by the [Demon Sword Kirinram].

The original owner of the Demon Sword Ziliniram was the Black Knight, one of the four great black swords. The Black Knight was a hybrid of human and demon.

Therefore, such a cursed item can indeed control the mind of its owner.

Gagran remembered Lajus pressing her right hand and saying something like, "Only a woman like me, whose heart is filled with the belief of protecting her brother, can pour everything into suppressing her magic."

There are also things like, "If you are even slightly careless, I, this dark being from the source of darkness, will dominate your body, unleash the power of the demonic sword, and take over your brother."

When Gagran approached to ask, Lajus blushed and told her not to worry.

Because it sounded very bad, Gegland even consulted with Iverie.

The conclusion drawn was that "the priest, who should have been freed from the curse, was instead controlled by the cursed artifact, and must have felt ashamed. And perhaps she didn't want us to worry."

Of course, the conclusion that he is a brother complex also came about incidentally.

Rune cleared his throat.

"Cough cough."

He straightened up, his guilty conscience replaced by a forced composure.

"In that case," Rune said, his voice slower than usual, "I'll begin to explain."

All eyes of the members of the Blue Rose were focused on him at the same time.

Lahoz released his arm, sat down on the chair next to him, propped her cheeks up with her hands, and looked at him with undisguised anticipation in her eyes.

Tina and Tia also sat up straight, the ninja sisters' movements still synchronized.

Looking at the circle of expectant self-radiance, Rune felt as if he had been placed on an invisible stage.

"Fine, since I've already decided to blow it, I might as well blow it beautifully."

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the now-cold black tea, and gave himself a few more seconds to think.

"I lured all the members of the Six Arms to a brothel through my scheme."

From how to use the intelligence network to spread false information and lure all the members of the "Six Arms" to a brothel, to how to use the terrain and the cover of night to eliminate the group of "Six Arms" assassins one by one.

Rune explained it in great detail, and even a professional like Tina nodded in agreement.

"————So, I wiped out the entire Six Arms group just like that."

"9

Rune put down his teacup and calmly concluded this extremely brilliant "post-battle report".

But if you look closely, you'll notice a very faint red tinge around the base of his ears.

Lahoz's eyes shone even brighter.

She listened attentively from beginning to end. Her brother's heroic image resonated with the impression in her mind, and she felt as if she had been illuminated by some kind of light.

"My brother is amazing!"

Lahoz's tone was filled with undisguised smugness.

She turned to look at the other team members.

Tina enthusiastically led the applause, and even nudged Tia next to her with her elbow.

Tia clapped along, a mischievous smile on her face as well.

"Mmm, Devil Brother is the best."
