Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Then, at that time I can spread the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, and maybe attract players like me."

This is Ainz Ooal Gown's true thought.

Narberal was speechless with shock. This was... Ainz Ooal Gown's real plan and idea!

He actually revealed his plan to these two outsiders? What exactly is Lord Ainz planning to do?!

'Want to increase your fame in this world...?'

"Your idea is truly noble."

After hearing Ainz Ooal Gown's plan, Yan Ming couldn't help but smile slightly.

"However, my thoughts are not that complicated."

"The reason I became an adventurer is very simple."

"Because for me, this makes it easier for me to follow my heart and do what I want to do."

Follow your heart...?

Both Ainz Ooal Gown and Narberal were stunned by these words.

"Excuse me, what does this mean?"

"It's not something that's hard to understand, is it?"

Yan Ming was simply stating his thoughts without any pretense or pretense.

“As I told you before, I don’t have any other thoughts about being here. I just want to help people who need it. That’s all I want to do.”

"If I want to do something, I will do it according to my heart, and I will not do anything that is inconsistent with my nature because of environmental factors or what others say."

Is it my nature...the thing I want to do deep down...?

Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't help but fall silent.

The reason he initially revealed his plan was simply because he was afraid that not telling the truth would offend Yan Ming and lead to a break in their relationship.

But he never expected the other person to say these things to him...

"My true nature, what my heart truly desires to do...?"

The immortal king pondered slowly in his heart.

What I need to do now is to make my name known far and wide, to become the most famous person in this other world, and then spread the name of Ainz Ooal Gown to the ends of the earth, so that all possible transmigrators or players will gather on my side.

But this kind of thing...

Is this really what I want to do? Is this really what I truly want to do from the bottom of my heart?

Whether it's attempting to intervene in international affairs to gather intelligence, putting on a facade of hypocrisy in front of Yan Ming just to win his favor, or striving to cultivate an image of imposing authority in front of his subordinates—

These things.

Is this really what he wants to do?

If not, then… I am Ainz Ooal Gown… as Momonga…

…And what is it that Suzuki Satoru truly wants to do?

"It's getting late."

Yan Ming leaned closer to the window and saw that Enferea and the people from "The Black Sword" had already gathered downstairs and were waiting for them.

"I'll go downstairs to find them first... Woz."

"Understood, my Demon King."

Woz bowed respectfully, and the two opened the door and went out.

Only Nabella remained, along with the person still standing there, deep in thought.

"Lord Ainz..."

"I'm sorry, Naberal."

A green glow slowly flashed above Ainz Ooal Gown's head; it was magic that represented a forced calming effect.

but.

Even though the effect had taken hold, Ainz Ooal Gown's heart still held the same complex emotions as before.

"...I want to have some peace and quiet."

Ainz Ooal Gown... Suzuki Satoru, no longer appeared as authoritative as ever in front of his subordinates.

Instead, they are just like living, breathing human beings.

He pondered the things on his mind as if they were worries.

(Happy Labor Day everyone! As the new month begins, I'd like to ask for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. I will work hard to update more frequently! I hope you can all support me!)

Volume 3, OVERLORD: Chapter 42, Enferea, the Target

Yan Ming and Woz came down from the second floor of the hotel and went straight outside.

"Oh! It's Mr. Yan Ming and Mr. Woz!"

Enferea and the members of "The Black Sword" approached excitedly.

"We've been waiting for you for so long! By the way... where are Mr. Fei Fei and Ms. Na Bei?"

"They still have some things to do, they should be down in a bit."

Yan Ming looked directly at Enferea.

"Then, I will accept your request, don't worry."

"Really? That's wonderful...!"

Enferea and the members of the "Black Sword" guild all showed expressions of immense joy.

"With such a capable assistant, we might just be able to make a fortune!"

"Yes, after all, he's an adventurer who completed all the bronze-level missions in less than ten minutes. Oh, by the way, Mr. Yan Ming should be iron-level by now, right?"

"Wow! That makes it even more amazing! That's fantastic!"

As everyone cheered, Enferea was also very happy.

at this time.

Yan Ming moved closer to Enferea, causing him to immediately realize what was happening.

"Huh? Mr. Yan Ming..."

Then, Yan Ming spoke to him in a low voice.

"...I can grant your request, but I have one condition."

"Please, please feel free to ask..."

"Take this."

From behind him, Yan Ming pulled out a very strangely shaped object.

It looks like a modern mobile phone, only more refined and smaller.

"Excuse me, what is this...?"

"It's like a magical communication tool; you can just take it."

Regardless of Enferea's opinion, Yan Ming first stuffed the thing into his hand.

That's achieved through Faiz's control of the dial. The Faiz Phone X is a futuristic technology phone capable of cross-time and space dialogues and short-range shooting.

"Listen carefully, the condition I'm going to make is that if you encounter any extremely dangerous situation, you must use this device immediately."

As Yan Ming explained to Enferea, he unfolded his phone, exposing all the buttons.

"Whoa whoa…!"

"When you encounter a situation, press the number '5' in the center three times, then put it in your pocket and don't take it out."

"At that time, I will be able to receive your call and then go to help you."

Although Enferea was stunned by what he heard, she still remembered what Yan Ming said.

“I understand, Mr. Yan Ming… But, why do you suddenly feel that we might be in a critical situation? Nothing is happening right now.”

"It's just me worrying about it; I'll accept it for now."

Yan Ming's strange remark only made Enferea even more confused.

However… since Mr. Yan Ming said so, he must have his reasons.

Enferea didn't say anything more, but Woz saw everything.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Ainz Ooal Gown and Narberal also came down together.

"Oh! It's Mr. Fei Fei and Miss Na Bei~"

"Don't call me that so flippantly, human."

"Oh dear~ Miss Nabe is human too, yet she looks at me like I'm an insect? Is this some kind of role-playing? Oh, how embarrassing!"

This guy… Narberal couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger, but Ainz Ooal Gown had just told her not to lose her temper so easily, so she had to force herself to hold back.

Ainz Ooal Gown then walked up to the group.

"Sorry everyone, I was thinking about some things and that took a little while."

"Oh, it's alright, Mr. Fei Fei!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Feifei, what are your plans regarding my request...?"

"A request, huh? So... how did the adventurer Yan Ming respond to you?"

"Mr. Yan Ming has already agreed, just now!"

Unsurprisingly.

Ainz Ooal Gown glanced at Yan Ming and immediately nodded.

"I understand, and I will choose to help you as well."

"Really?!"

"However... it's not that I personally accepted your request; rather, I need to hire the 'Black Sword' to protect you and thus complete this request."

Upon hearing Ainz Ooal Gown's explanation, the four members of the guild immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"As expected of Mr. Feifei, he is so thoughtful."

"That's right! This way, our benefits are maximized!"

It seems the negotiations have resulted in a situation that satisfies everyone.

Yan Ming watched all this with satisfaction, but was then pulled to the back of the group by Woz.

"My Demon King... can you explain this to me?"

He looked at Yan Ming with some surprise.

"Why did you hand over the Faiz phone X to that boy? And what did you say to him..."

"What I'm about to say is actually a bit far-fetched."

Yan Ming explained to Woz with a calm demeanor.

"This was all my subjective decision."

"Just a moment ago, I sensed a very malicious intent emanating from someone in the distance towards the members of the 'Black Sword' and Enferia... but upon closer inspection, the true target of that intent was Enferia."

"It was a thought that was mixed with malice, madness, murderous intent, and twisted ideas. Although I only felt it for a brief moment, I was certain that it was real and that someone was planning to harm him."

"So that's why you planned to set up an ambush first?"

Using the Faiz phone X, you can quickly go to save Enferea when he encounters danger.

The logic in this series of sentences was sound, but what truly surprised Wozniak was not this point.

"My Demon King... how did you sense that emotion?"

Even a normal human being, capable of sensing murderous intent, could not possibly perceive so many emotions at once... especially without any prior information.
