How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

*Smack!* And then, without exception, it was knocked away.

Miss Fox pouted and, feeling awkward, changed tables. Unexpectedly, Evilue followed her over and plopped down opposite her, staring at her.

Scratching her head, Miss Fox moved to another table, and then Evilue followed her over.

“…” “…”

"...So, what's wrong with you?" Unable to bear being stared at any longer, Miss Fox raised her hands in surrender.

"I'm asking you..."

"Come on, that's obviously not the main purpose. I'm not stupid!" Miss Fox waved her hand, interrupting Evilue's excuse.

After the spoils were divided, everyone else from Blue Rose left to enjoy themselves. Even A-Kang went off to stock up on food somewhere. Only Ibiruai stayed by her side. Did they really think she was a stupid fox lady for no reason?

"Tsk! In such a useless place, your lousy elf brain just happens to be useful!" Evilue complained. However, it wasn't enough to be offensive; the fox lady was completely immune.

He was still smiling at Ibiruai, completely oblivious.

"Just there to fill in the numbers, that's why." Ibiruai ignored Miss Fox's cheerful attitude, a vein throbbing on her forehead hidden beneath her mask.

"It's no coincidence that the spy appeared in your room. During his confession, he repeatedly mentioned the newbie with an angry tone, clearly a pawn that was thrown out. This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. You should be careful!"

"Are you implying that the newbie who's just filling in the numbers is targeting me?" It's not as simple as it seems on the surface. The newbie who's just filling in the numbers is actually chatting with you on the other end of the line.

Miss Fox could hardly contain her laughter. How could she not have noticed that this masked loli had the nature of a drama queen, able to conjure up so many plots from such a farce?

"Indeed, it's unsettling not to catch this 'filler newbie' properly." However, the masked loli was acting out of concern for Evilue, and Miss Fox still quite liked her. She couldn't help but imagine the scene when Evilue couldn't understand it no matter what, and Miss Fox revealed the truth!

"Let's investigate the newbies who're just there to make up the numbers! My little loli partner!"

"Tch! Go yourself if you want to! I was just reminding you!" Ibiruai turned her head away. "But you're such a useless elf, you can't do anything right, so it's only natural that you need my help!"

Yeah, that's typical tsundere.

Miss Fox covered her mouth with delight. Among the Blue Roses, this masked loli was the easiest to get along with. She was just too easy to guess.

I could barely hold back my laughter, so I had to grab something to drink or eat to cover it up!

"Your drinks." Just then, a waitress came over with the drinks. A fragrant aroma wafted through the air, and they smelled delicious just from the scent.

"Thank you," Miss Fox said politely. The waitress, whose long hair covered half her face, also nodded politely in return.

But Miss Fox did not accept the drink.

"I didn't order any drinks at all!"

Chapter 131 My Mother is Indeed a Genius!

"Bite her! Mortal!"

The liberated mortal greatsword was swung, but it only smashed two cups of drinks, spilling them on passersby. By the time the blade swept across, the waitress had already disappeared.

"Whoa!" The bodies of the passersby who had been splashed with the drink suddenly glowed, and a cursor appeared above their heads, following their movements. This unexpected incident quickly turned the previously pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant into chaos. Most of the staff, who were not capable of fighting, fled, and some adventurers who did not want to cause trouble also scurried away.

However, the few passersby who had spilled the drink ran outside the store. Even with the walls obstructing their view, the cursors above their heads were still clearly visible, and even human-shaped halos appeared on the walls. It was just like the perspective of a cheat code in a game.

'My master, this enemy is quite formidable; it's someone you have a very poor affinity with.'

"You vile elf, watch out! This is specifically targeting you!" Evilue immediately released a magic shield, trying to get close enough to protect Miss Fox... "You! Tch, you're really fast!" But she found that Miss Fox was nowhere to be found, having already activated her passive ability to hide.

Miss Fox knew all about this without Ibiruai even needing to remind her.

Unfortunately, the mortal bone couldn't touch that guy just now; he dodged it, and the target was lost and couldn't be locked on.

But it doesn't matter. It's just stealth, right? Even though she can't stealth, the effect is the same: lowering her presence so others can't notice her. It's pretty much the same thing. It's just a matter of who loses their composure first and gives themselves away.

Miss Fox pinched her chin and looked at Evilue.

There was no doubt that Evilue was her ally, and the attacker would certainly have assumed the same. She could hold her own against the stealthy attacker by being passive, but Evilue couldn't; she was an easy target, and also easy bait. If the attacker lost patience, or devised a way to target her, he would inevitably attack Evilue.

Keeping a close eye on things is never a bad idea.

"Ibiruai! What happened?!" Gegrand...

Yes, it's also possible she'll go back and target other Blue Rose members. But she's alone, and her opponent is a true stealth fighter, even more troublesome than the assassin boy she encountered last night—she couldn't find a trace of him at all.

Miss Fox was very troubled. Bonds can fill people with hope and passion, but they can also limit them in certain situations.

"It's a newbie just there to make up the numbers!" Miss Fox jumped in surprise, startled!

"There's absolutely no trace of it, and the actions taken against this despicable elf must be related to the accomplice of that spy who just died! It's definitely a newbie just there to make up the numbers!" Evilue was earnestly sharing her conjecture with Gagran.

That really scared Miss Fox half to death.

It just so happens that it had to appear at this exact moment. Miss Fox was starting to suspect that the label of "newbie just there to fill a spot" was becoming synonymous with "enemy." She herself was her enemy, wasn't she?

Life is not easy, sighed the fox.

However, without the special cloak given to him by Aizen, speaking would reveal his location, and it wasn't the right time to explain this to the enemy in the dark.

The newcomers must be from Ainz Ooal Gown's side. I didn't expect it to be now, coming to cause trouble so early in the morning. I thought they'd be here that evening.

The goal this time should be to break her passive approach of minimizing her presence.

Ainz Ooal Gown's army is truly diverse, with all sorts of different types, including units with such powerful stealth capabilities. It was really too much of a blow that I missed with Mortal Bone. Now I can't find any suspicious points, and I don't even know if the enemy has left the inn.

Ring ring! Just then, the sound of a bell suddenly rang out beside me.

Gagran was shaking a small bell, and visible magical fluctuations emanated from it.

'This kind of prop can't possibly work, can it?' Miss Fan Gu retorted.

And indeed, that was the case. The magical fluctuations emanating from the little bell filled the entire hall, but nothing happened; the enemy they couldn't find remained elusive. "What's going on! The detection devices are completely useless!?" Gagran was astonished.

This is perfectly reasonable; Miss Fox doesn't even want to complain about it anymore.

Since it's called Ainz Ooal Gown, the start is bound to be easy. But how could the detection tools created by the Cricket Natives, which are only effective against first and second-tier stealth, possibly find the NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick? Even if the NPC with the worst stealth skills were to learn a stealth skill on their own, these detection tools would be completely useless.

Ugh, this situation is really troublesome.

Newbie here to fill in: Everyone, how do we fight the enemy?

So, quite decisively, Miss Fox chose to ask netizens online.

Noelle: ...Um, why don't you try asking someone else?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Noelle: ...

Oh my god! This bunch of night owls! Nobody online this early in the morning except Noelle!

Green Mountain Demon King: Hmph, if you had protected my avatar, would this have happened?

Dog Qingshan doesn't count as a person, next.

'My master, didn't you find the answer you were looking for in the group?'

Yes, my dear Miss Fan Gu, right now there's no one in the group I can cling to, and even the heads I can rely on are useless.

'That's alright, I'm going back to sleep.'

In response, Miss Fox's navel contained only the character '淦'.

Who taught him how to use this Zanpakuto?!

Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. The important thing is how to deal with the attackers from the Great Tomb. It's unbearable to think about if this stalemate continues.

And let alone in the future, Miss Fox is already feeling quite uncomfortable right now, having to constantly monitor her chat group and be wary of her surroundings.

Madara Uchiha: Sensing the fluctuations of nature

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: !!!

Noelle: This isn't right! Would Ban say something like this?!

Newbie who's just filling in the numbers: Yeah, Master Ban, that sounds more like something Hashirama Senju would say, doesn't it?

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Master Ban?

Noelle: @Uchiha Madara

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: Ah... Master Ban has gone offline again!

Why would you just say something like "feelings naturally" out of the blue? And coming from Ban Ye's mouth, the whole vibe just doesn't feel right.

Scratching her head, Miss Fox sighed, "Life is tough."

Since Aizen hasn't logged on yet, it seems the only option is to try Madara's suggestion. Just go with the flow and let things be.

Perhaps, as the goddess of the earth, her method of sensing nature is truly effective.

Closing her eyes, Miss Fox quickly cleared her mind of the jumbled thoughts and tried to feel nature—

"..."emmmmm...emmmmm...emmmmm...! !

"I see her! War roar!!" With a mighty swing of her sword, Miss Fox shattered the floorboards, sending several pieces of stone flying wildly through the restaurant. But there was nothing beneath her sword; she had simply struck an empty spot.

One of the stones had a rather unconventional trajectory; it hit the corner of the wall, bounced off the table, and then struck the chandelier. The swaying chandelier crashed down, smashing the wooden table and scattering several pieces of wood. The wood fragments then knocked over the bottles on the counter, spilling them all over the floor.

Thump! Then a barefoot figure slipped and fell from the spilled liquor, scattering what he was carrying all over himself. His body glowed, and a cursor appeared above his head...

Miss Fox fell silent...

"...I really am a genius! I can learn it in no time!!"

-

Chapter 132 A Correct Second Blossom!

"I saw you! Devour her! Mortal!"

Once the target is identified, we can't just sit and wait to die!

Miss Fox charged in anger, tearing down a wall of the inn. Seeing that her charge had missed the long-haired woman, she immediately followed up with a Blast Wheel, but it only opened another door in the inn and still missed.

With another high leap, the Greatsword slammed into the inn floor, creating a large crater. Miss Fox still missed.

The long-haired woman who came to launch the attack early in the morning was exceptionally agile. Miss Fox narrowly avoided every attack with her bullet-grabbing maneuvers. After three skills, the hotel's restaurant was almost completely destroyed, but Miss Fox couldn't hit the long-haired woman even once.

"Damn it!" The Blazing Wheel bombarded the entire wall, causing it to collapse under the weight of Miss Fox's attack, yet the long-haired woman seemed unharmed. It was so close to hitting her, but she managed to dodge it, at most only suffering a minor scratch. It was utterly pointless.

"You vile elf, calm down!" Seeing this, Evilue quickly released magic to help, but compared to Miss Fox, Evilue's magic was completely ignored by the long-haired woman.

The long-haired woman seemed to have some special item or ability. The magic released by Evilue had no effect on her at all; it shattered as soon as it touched her, and she didn't even have to dodge.

"Tsk! Another magic nullification ability!"

"Ibiruai, you can't do it? Then let me do it!" Gegrand swung his hammer, ready to give the long-haired woman an eighty blow.

But Miss Fox stopped her, saying, "You shouldn't come. You're not good enough!"

“Gegran, that vile elf is right, this is not a battle you can interfere in!” Evilue and Miss Fox shared the same opinion.

Gagran, a warrior who had only trained his body and hadn't yet cultivated internal energy, lacked keen senses. But Evilue, a magic caster of level 50+ according to Ainz Ooal Gown's system, was different. After the long-haired woman was forced to reveal herself, Evilue felt a similar oppressive aura from her as that of Adaba from the previous night. Not to mention Gagran, even she couldn't easily interfere in this battle.

For the second time in 200 years, aside from the Demon God, Evilue felt the powerlessness of her own weakness.

"Power..." Unable to help those around her due to her own weakness, Evilue clenched her fists, utterly helpless. This feeling of powerlessness...

Miss Fox glanced behind her and sensed what the other was thinking.

But what could she possibly do? The Earth Goddess's Cold Skill Kick, which came with its own flag, was clearly a technique reserved for her exclusive use, and she would never share it with anyone else. Furthermore, her understanding of martial arts was superficial, relying entirely on research conducted on lab rats. Not to mention, Ebiruai was a magic-based character, so she understood even less.

"...Now is the time to deal with the long-haired woman." It's best not to overthink it.

Miss Fox reminded herself, intently locking onto the long-haired woman. She didn't know why. The long-haired woman, despite having lost her superior stealth abilities due to her own gadgets and being unable to contend with her in direct combat, was still lingering here instead of running away.

It's just weird.

What are they trying to do by stalling for time? Or are they waiting to see what Ainz Ooal Gown is doing elsewhere?

"Tsk, I was hoping to save some money by handling things myself, but it seems that anything from the Great Tomb isn't very friendly to me..." Life is tough, the fox sighed.

Miss Fox casually stuck the mortal bone greatsword, which was useless if it couldn't hit anyone, into the ground and took out a large number of talismans from her inventory.

"Come on! Let's start the second round!" The long-haired woman shuddered, as if sensing boundless malice. She also pulled out an item, a large scroll that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. This scroll was even thicker than Evilue's entire body!

Although we don't know what kind of item this is, Ainz Ooal Gown is known for using items to survive. It's safe to say that this item, which could be used to defeat Demiurge, is definitely not something simple!

"Hado No. 4, White Lightning." Aizen's father's voice echoed in the inn's restaurant as he decisively tore up the talisman.

A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed like a dragon, hurtling towards the long-haired woman. No matter how agile the long-haired woman was, she could never be faster than lightning. This was why Miss Fox chose White Lightning.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz! I didn't expect things to get worse, but the result was a bit unexpected!
