One particularly hardworking Elder Lich opened up the plans in his hands, and gave orders to the working golems.
Looking at the golems who stopped and obeyed his command, he compared the construction site and the plans in his hands. After a little consideration, he spoke to the imp sitting on his shoulder.
After listening, the imp expressed his understanding, flapped his wings and flew up into the sky.
With flying that could not be considered elegant, the imp surveyed the area with his eyes opened wide. Not long after, the imp found his target and quickly flew downwards.
That person was the Great Tomb of Nazarick’s Sixth Floor Guardian, Aura Bella Fiore, and also one of the new kings of this forest.
The Dark Elf girl used a rolled up paper as a megaphone, allowing her voice to travel far. The imp flew down and stood in salute in front of her, Aura then inquired in a familiar tone.
“Good~ now which group are you coming from?”
“Aura-sama, it would be Group U, number 3.”
“U Group, good good, understood. Now what else is the problem?”
The ones working here were divided into groups named with letters, from A to U, each group was sent to a different area to do a different job. From Aura’s memory, she remembers that Group U’s job was the construction of the storage warehouse, whose construction progress was also the second fastest.
TL Note: A to U means the Japanese Language Hiragana system, which is A, E, I, O, U. Not English!
“There are problems with the width of the logs used for construction, are we able to request for a little more ti—”
At this moment, the imp’s voice suddenly stopped, this was because a sound came out from a piece of iron hanging around Aura’s wrist.
“Its break time~”
Hearing a bubbly female voice, the color of Aura’s face suddenly changed, her ears dropped down, and changed into an embarrassed expression.
“Yes, understood, Simmering Teapot-sama!”
Aura energetically replied to the voice from her wrist.
“So, because it is already time to eat, the work for this morning will end for now.”
Out of all the monsters working in the area, almost all of them didn't need to eat. On that issue, Aura herself was also wearing the Ring of Sustenance, and needed neither food nor sleep. But since her own master worried about the wellbeing of everyone and always said “Always have a good rest”, she followed his instruction happily.
“Although it would be rude to you, but it is time for rest, so please come back in an hour.”
“Understood, then this subordinate will take his leave.”
The imp quickly left and flew into the air, leaving only the sound of his flapping wings.
Looking at the imp going towards where the construction of the warehouse was happening, Aura shook her shoulders, then looked at the strap on her wrist.
This time she showed an expression filled with happiness.
This was a reward given to her by her master because of all her hard work. Of course, towards their main task as a Floor Guardian, working hard at their job was a given, and did not warrant a reward. In fact, it should be obvious to give all that she has for the master.
However, she could not just reject the wristwatch given to her by her master.
“Hohoho, I really want to hear more of Simmering Teapot-sama’s voice.”
Aura warmly touched the strap on her wrist. Her current actions could be comparatively warmer than when she was touching her own pets.
All the voices that came from this instrument were from the one who created Aura.
Even though the voices were only used to tell the time, this still served to satisfy Aura greatly.
When she heard that her younger brother had received the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown, she felt a little envious, but honestly speaking, right now she felt that the object she obtained was so much better.
“Hohohohohohohoho.”
Aura’s ears drooped, and she looked shyly at the strap. She looked at the light shining brightly onto the strap, and satisfyingly nodded her head.
“Why did Ainz-sama set some times when it cannot be used?”
Ainz-sama ordered that the times 7:21 and 19:19 can not be set as alarm time.
“Eh... why don’t we just ask him? Ah, this is bad!”
Aura looked at the numbers on the strap, and quickly ran off.
In front of where she was going was a maid.
One of the 41 maids within the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a homunculus whose outer appearance was that of a beautiful lady, but she was an exception.
Her head was that of a dog, with a vertical line running down the center of her face like a scar with signs of stitching. It felt as though her face that had split into two halves were being sewn back together.
Her name is Pestunia S Wanko.
She is the Great Tomb of Nazarick’s Head Maid, and also a High Priest.
“As per Aura-sama’s wishes, I have brought a hamburger, as well as two pickles, french fries with skin on, the drink would be cola… Woof.”
After a long pause, she let out a “woof” sound, making Aura think that she may have just forgotten to add it at the end. But Aura did not say anything special about this, because there was something else that had her attention. It was the smell which would make one’s stomach growl. Although the Ring of Sustenance made it so that one did not have to consume food, it did not mean she could not eat. Also eating should be a fortunate thing, especially if it was food that was so delicious.
“Speaking of the overall effect of eating this…”
“Ah, no need, no need, I am not eating this for the sake of a beneficial effect.”
“Understood woof.”
Aura walked towards the side of Pestunia, where a meal cart was emitting a fragrant smell.
“Time to eat, time to eat.”
Pestunia, upon hearing Aura’s self-composed meal song, took off the silver lid off the plate on the meal cart.
“Aah~”
Aura could not help but stare intently at the food revealed before her, at the same time spoke the words that immediately came to her mind.
“Although A7 beef is also good, but I much prefer a mixture of beef and pork. If only I could use that combination to create a 3 layered meat pie.”
