Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Looking at the Forest Wise King, whose eyes were still brimming with tears, Ainz Ooal Gown felt as if his non-existent heart was about to have a myocardial infarction.

"...Okay, I'll take it back."

Although I was very reluctant, I had no choice but to do it for the sake of reputation.

And so it ended.

In everyone's eyes, the so-called wise king of the forest was easily subdued by the two of them.

"Mr. Yan Ming is amazing! He completely defeated the Forest King with just a flick of his finger!!"

"He's so amazing!! He's practically our idol!!"

Listening to these people's words, Yan Ming felt as if something was gradually missing from his mind.

Even though I'm being praised, I don't feel any joy at all.

"My Demon King..."

"Stop talking, Woz."

Yan Ming patted Woz on the shoulder and shook his head.

"Just remember not to keep hamsters in the future, or I'll get traumatized by them."

"…walk slowly."

Volume 3, OVERLORD: Chapter 44 Let's Talk About Me

"How magnificent!"

Now, the group is walking on the plains outside the forest they just left.

In fact, the only people walking were Yan Ming and Woz, the members of "The Black Sword", and Enferea and Nabella.

There is one person who is not walking.

Ainz Ooal Gown, also known as Fei Fei.

Dressed in imposing armor, he was currently riding on a large hamster.

correct.

This is the so-called Forest Wise King, with those adorable little eyes, those big front teeth that could chew up several meals of wood chips, and that chubby, soft body that even Ainz Ooal Gown could ride on with room to spare.

"You guys are really amazing! You managed to tame such a powerful monster so easily!"

"Li, amazing?"

Even Yan Ming, who is usually very calm, was almost scared to death by those words.

Ainz Ooal Gown almost fell off the hamster.

"Do you really call this overweight, somewhat silly-looking hamster 'amazing'?"

Nia nodded.

"Look at its tall and majestic body, it exudes an aura of power!"

The hamster shook its excessively fat body.

"That means, with those incredibly sharp claws, it must be incredibly powerful!"

It waved its cute little short arms.

"But that's nothing compared to what's truly terrifying—those eyes that seem to kill without mercy! And that incredibly intimidating battle cry!!"

The Forest Wise King blinked his chestnut-like eyes and roared "Awoo~" in front of everyone.

Oh, that's terrifying!! Everyone couldn't help but have that thought.

"I'm so envious of Mr. Feifei! If it were me, having such a powerful and majestic magical beast for the rest of my life would surely mean I'd have countless girls by my side!"

"Hmm...yes, you're right."

Ainz Ooal Gown politely replied to the young man named Lucrete, but in reality, his skull was already sweating profusely.

Did these people from another world get kicked in the head by a hamster to develop such a brain circuit?

This was the shared thought of Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown at this moment, and it seemed that they had cleverly reached an agreement.

"Ah, right!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Enfielda?"

Enferea's sudden reaction startled the others in the guild.

"This area is where I often go, Kahn Village!"

"Huh? So Enfielda usually spends a lot of time here."

"It hasn't been that long, but since we've come all this way, how about we stop here for a bit?"

Enferea asked Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown, and the two of them naturally had no objections.

They had already learned from Enferea that he often visited the village called Kahn, so this was nothing unusual.

"Anyway, it's not like we're in a rush to get back to the city, so it's fine."

"Let's go, let's change direction and head to Kahn Village."

Upon hearing their answers, the group immediately changed their route and headed towards Kahn Village.

—————————————————————

In front of the village of Kahn.

Narberal led the large hamster on a leash, while Ainz Ooal Gown rode on it.

Yan Ming and Woz walked at the front of the group, followed closely by Enfield and the others.

only.

However, their village gave them a completely different feeling.

"…This is?"

It seems to be something like a fence.

Enferea was somewhat surprised, as were Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown.

However, everyone soon saw through everything.

Countless small, beast-like figures slowly emerged from the village.

"It's... a goblin?"

The members of "The Black Sword" and Enferea were naturally puzzled, but Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown were not particularly surprised.

Their initial surprise stemmed from the fact that these goblins had even built a wall around the village.

"Ah! It's Enferea!"

Just then, a little girl ran out of the village entrance.

The blonde girl was none other than Anri, whom Yan Ming and Ainz Ooal Gown had previously rescued.

Enferea's face lit up with joy upon seeing her, suggesting they were childhood sweethearts.

"It's been a long time, Anri."

"Hmm! It's Enferea who's really here. She even brought so many people with her this time."

Anli blinked and couldn't help but look behind him.

"Wow! So many adventurers! Are all these amazing people your friends, Enfielda...? Huh?"

"No, no, it's just a temporary relationship. I'm not powerful enough to make powerful adventurers like Mr. Fei Fei and Mr. Yan Ming consider me a friend!"

As Enferea spoke, she realized that Anri's attention was no longer on her.

"What's wrong, Anri?"

He was feeling surprised when—

"Mr. Yan Ming?!"

An Li looked at Yan Ming in utter astonishment and exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Mr. Yan Ming?"

"Is that Lord Yan Ming?!"

"Ah! One of the heroes who saved our village of Kahn, I never thought he would come back again!"

what?

Now it was Yan Ming's turn to be dumbfounded.

Although he had considered the possibility of returning to Kahn Village and being recognized by others, he never imagined it would turn out like this.

This actually caused a commotion.

"Mr. Yan Ming is the hero who saved Kahn Village? How did this happen, Mr. Yan Ming?!"

"And one of them is... could there be someone else?"

"So what exactly was that experience, Mr. Yan Ming? Could you tell us in detail if you'd like?"

"Wow! That's amazing! Not only did you defeat the powerful monster, the Forest Wise King, but you're also a powerful hero who saved Carne Village? Mr. Yan Ming, you're incredible!"

"What?! Lord Yan Ming actually defeated a monster like the Forest Wise King?!"

"Of course! Look, that monster outside is the Forest Wise King!"

"I am the Wise King of the Forest, please give me your guidance!"

"Wow...! What powerful and intelligent eyes!!"

"Mr. Yan Ming! How on earth did you manage to defeat a monster like the Forest Wise King?!"

"Yes, yes, the villagers of Kahn are also very curious..."

Ainz Ooal Gown rode on the giant hamster, watching Yan Ming being surrounded by countless people.

The thought couldn't help but cross his mind.

"That was dangerous... Luckily, I didn't expose my identity like this guy, or I would have been in big trouble!"

Ainz Ooal Gown wiped away a bead of sweat as he watched Yan Ming's comical state as he was bombarded with questions by countless villagers. He couldn't help but feel a schadenfreude, as if to say, "Serves you right for exposing your identity!"

That's right.

Even Ainz Ooal Gown himself probably didn't realize this.

His feelings, which he thought had long since frozen, began to slowly begin to flow again.

————————————————————————

Everyone had a meal together in Kahn village.

When the village chief heard that Yan Ming had arrived, he specially set aside an empty room for the group to have a meal together. He also arranged for various skilled chefs from the village to help Yan Ming and his group prepare the dishes.

Although the group initially didn't want to trouble the villagers, they eventually accepted their kindness.

"Enfielda, these are the meat patties I made!"

"Huh...huh? It was Anri who did it?!"

"Is that so? I was originally thinking of letting you, Enferea, try the food someone made, but it seems you're not interested. In that case, we might as well let someone else try it..."

"No, no, no, how could that be! I'll eat it! Of course, I love Anri-chan's cooking the most!!"

Enferea and Anri seem to have a good relationship, a scene that made the members of "Black Sword" laugh happily.

"..."

The adventurer Feifei... also known as Ainz Ooal Gown, was staring in astonishment at the delicious food laid out on the table with Narberal.

"What's wrong, Mr. Fei Fei?"

Peter and Lucrete were eating when they noticed that Ainz Ooal Gown hadn't even touched his spoon, which surprised them.

"Could it be that the villagers' cooking doesn't suit your taste?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."
