Ainz Ooal Gown: Noble Knight

Ainz, suppressing his guilt, asked again for the name of the new kingdom.

But this time, perhaps because it involves the other supreme beings, the guardians are thinking more carefully.

Yau stopped his bad habit of acting without thinking, clearly knowing that his "strong nation" was not quite appropriate in this context.

Mare kept his head down, the bottom of his staff tapping lightly on the ground, probably a subconscious action due to nervousness.

Cocytus, as Nazarick's naming master, also did not speak immediately.

Albedo seemed completely unconcerned, facing Ainz with the hem of her pure white dress cascading like snow.

A dreamlike smile appeared on that stunningly beautiful face, and her golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly.

“Since it is the kingdom that the adventurer Feifei eventually established,” Albedo said, lost in a strange sense of euphoria, “then let’s call it ‘Flying Squirrel Kingdom’.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes filled with fervent fascination, as if she were imagining the kingdom established on this land in the name of "Flying Squirrel," and the image of the flag bearing that name fluttering in the wind.

Ainz kept nodding as Albedo delivered the earlier part of her analysis.

The logic behind the kingdom established by the adventurer Feifei is very clear.

Albedo truly understood the strategic significance of the adventurer Flyff's identity; she was indeed a sage no less capable than Demiurge.

But Albedo's conclusion instantly broke Ainz's defenses.

Wasn't it supposed to be Flying Squirrel? How come the conclusion is that it's Flying Squirrel?

Ainz's thoughts paused for a brief moment.

Feifei is the adventurer Feifei, and Feishu is clearly his in-game ID; these two are obviously not the same thing.

Albedo equates "the kingdom established by Flyff" directly with "the Flying Squirrel Kingdom," but how many logical chains does she cross in this process?

Moreover, Ainz felt it was too shameful to use his former game ID as the name of a country.

'Flying Squirrel Kingdom'? If Blackie were in this world, he'd probably laugh himself silly upon hearing that name.

“…Albedo.” Ainz decided to reject this name without hesitation, “The name ‘Momonga’ is not suitable.”

Albedo's expression suddenly froze.

The fervent obsession in her eyes suddenly cracked, but she quickly pieced it back together.

She lowered her head, her posture still gentle and respectful, but the curve of her lips was noticeably smaller than before.

"Lord Ainz is right, it was my oversight."

She returned to her position on the right side of the throne, but her figure appeared exceptionally lonely.

Ainz felt inexplicably guilty looking at her like that, but the shame ultimately overwhelmed his remorse.

However, Albedo's suggestion gave him an idea: the country could be named after one of his companions.

Ainz's thoughts began to race.

If the friends hear that a country has a name they are familiar with, they might actually follow the clues to find it.

Even if they didn't hear it, at least the name itself is a source of hope, proof that he hasn't given up searching for them.

After thinking it over, Ainz began to analyze which partner's name would be most suitable.

It didn't take long for Ainz to get the answer.

'Tachimi'.

Ainz believes that Touch Me is the most suitable protagonist for this kind of story of defeating the Demon King and saving a country.

Because Touch Me has always been such a righteous person, this heroic opening would be even more suitable for him if he were in this alternate world.

More importantly, establishing the country in the name of Tachimi can serve as a reward for Sebastian's acquisition of such crucial intelligence.

Sebastian had spent so much time traveling through the Dragon Kingdom to gather this information about dragons and primordial magic; his contributions and efforts were considerable.

To have the name of his respected creator forever engraved on this land would be a reward that suits his heart.

Ainz thought he was quite clever this time, managing to achieve several goals at the same time.

Under the watchful eyes of all the guardians, Ainz spoke.

"Tachimi Country".

Ainz's tone was quite firm this time, leaving no room for negotiation; he didn't think the name would cause any harm.

"I think the new country should be called 'Tachimi'."

The throne room suddenly fell silent.

“I see…” Dimiu pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with admiration.

"The name of Lord Touchme is indeed enough to make the other Supreme Beings understand its profound meaning instantly, while at the same time, this name will not reveal specific information about Nazarick. As expected of Lord Ainz."

He gave a knowing smile: "Lord Ainz is very thoughtful. The name 'Tachimi Kingdom' is quite good."

Cocytus nodded slowly and exhaled a breath of cold air.

Yawu's ears perked up, and he agreed wholeheartedly.

“...Tachimi.” Mare’s voice carried a hint of nostalgia, as if the name itself brought him peace of mind. “...It’s quite good.”

However, Ainz did not notice that Albedo's expression became terrifying after he rejected the 'Momonga Kingdom' proposal and changed it to 'Tachimi Kingdom'.

The gentleness in those golden vertical pupils froze the moment they heard the words "Tachimi Country".

Chapter 127 Supreme Hunting Team

Albedo's smile seemed to be torn apart from the inside, revealing an undisguised coldness.

But it only lasted for a short while.

When Ainz then remarked with some nostalgia, "Touchmy should have been the guild leader; I am far inferior to Touchmy,"

Albedo's expression instantly calmed down, like the calm before a storm.

She maintained her respectful demeanor, and even a gentle smile returned to the corners of her mouth.

But deep in his eyes, there was an uncontrollable killing intent.

She hid it very well.

When everyone's attention was focused on Ainz, and on the impact of the name "Tachimi Country".

Albedo simply stood there quietly, like a meticulously sculpted statue.

She made a decision in her heart.

Lord Touchme had long since abandoned Nazarick and chosen to leave.

But what if... what if that person really exists somewhere in this world, just as Lord Ainz hoped...?

Then, Albedo will find him.

Then, let Lord Tapimy return to the ending he deserves.

Albedo lowered her eyes, concealing the madness within them.

The atmosphere in the throne room still carried the warmth that had gathered from the name "Tachimi Kingdom".

No one noticed the changes that the figure on the right side of the throne had undergone in those few short moments.

When Albedo raised her eyes again, they had returned to their usual gentleness, as if the blood-stained thought in her heart had never existed.

Ainz was basking in the self-affirmation that he had done a good job this time. He cleared his throat and turned his gaze to Demiurge.

"In that case, I'll leave the implementation of the details to you, Demiurge."

“Yes, Lord Ainz.” Demiurge bowed slightly.

He straightened up, greeted the other guardians present, and then turned and walked toward the exit.

Yau and Mare followed in his footsteps, while Cocytus lagged half a step behind, their heavy footsteps fading into the distance between the stone pillars.

The throne room fell silent once more.

The light from the magic lamps poured down from the dome, spreading a constant and cool glow throughout the empty hall.

Ainz sat on the throne, his knuckles clasped together, pondering whether he had behaved properly during today's meeting.

Just then, Albedo's voice came from the side, "Lord Ainz."

Ainz turned his head to look at her.

Albedo wore a gentle smile on her exquisite face, revealing no superfluous emotions. "There is something I would like to ask you."

"Go ahead," Ainz nodded.

"Regarding the search for the other Supreme Beings..." her voice softened slightly, "how high is their priority for Lord Ainz?"

Ainz was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Albedo to ask such a question.

He thought for a moment and replied quite seriously, "Like finding Shalltear, it is the highest priority without affecting the safety of Nazarick."

Albedo nodded slightly, a barely perceptible glint in her eyes. "I understand."

“Then,” Albedo said firmly, “I have a request that I hope Lord Ainz will grant.”

"I would like to establish a small team under my direct leadership, specifically to search for the Supreme Beings who are scattered elsewhere."

Ainz's skull-like eyes stared silently at Albedo.

A moment later, Ainz's voice rang out, tinged with hesitation.

“Albedo, I understand your feelings… but I still prefer that you stay in Nazarick to oversee affairs. It would be more appropriate to leave the task of searching for the Supreme Being to Mare and Yau.”

Albedo was not convinced by those words. She maintained a respectful demeanor but did not agree with Ainz's proposal.

"Lord Ainz, I've thought about that too, but..."

“The situation is different now than before. The dragon controlling Shalltear has not yet been found, and its intentions and methods are still unknown. If Mare and Yau obtain information about the Supreme Being, they might act impulsively. And if that information happens to be a trap set by that dragon…”

Seeing Ainz hesitate, Albedo continued, "While Mare is cautious by nature, his judgment might be affected when it comes to the Supreme Beings. And Yau goes without saying..."

The throne room fell silent for a moment.

Ainz is weighing his options.

Albedo is right... If the enemy really uses "information about the Supreme Being" as bait... then it will indeed be difficult for those two children to remain calm.
