Kurumi!

Chapter 43

The two figures stayed hugging each other for hours, they finally let go once the sun started to set

Kurumi (thinking): I think I know why she calls me mother now

Finally coming back to her senses, Zesshi took a step back with a blush on her face

Zesshi *slowly getting quieter*: Sorry, for calling you… mother…

Kurumi: No no~ it is fine. In fact, I would like you to continue calling me mother, my daughter~

Kurumi (thinking): Incest route it is!

Zesshi: Is that really fine?

Kurumi: Yes my dear~ I will strive to be the mother you never had~

Zesshi: Then… is it fine if I call you mother from now on?

Kurumi: Yes my daughter~

Zesshi: Thanks mother!

Finally, Zesshi smiled for the first time in centuries

Kurumi (thinking): Ah~ so this is what it looks like when a kuudere smiles~ this makes everything worth it

Kurumi: Now! Let's have some quality bonding time! {Zafkiel}

Manifesting her flintlock musket and pistol, Kurumi rapidly shot at all of the remaining trees from Zesshi's fight with the Elf King

*Bang* *bang* *bang*

Immediately falling down upon contact, the fallen trees revealed the perfect night sky. The sky had stars, planets, and even a galaxy was in view

Zesshi: How beautiful! I can't believe I have been missing out on this sight every day

Kurumi: Um~ sights like these appear every day, but like the sunrise. People sleep through it every day~

Zesshi: What does that mean?

Kurumi: It means~, there are many beautiful things in the world that are at people's fingertips, but people are too ignorant and blinded by their goals or everyday life to truly see and appreciate it~

Kurumi: What I mean to convey to you, is that now that you have moved on, there will be many beautiful sights like this in the future~

Zesshi: Then I will look forward to it!

[Perspective change]

Blond: Ah! If you would excuse me. My original has just finished the thing she was doing! Now that she finished doing her thing, it is not my turn to contribute! We will meet again~!

White hands suddenly grabbed the blonde Kurumi clone, dragging her back into the shadow realm. As soon as she left, Momonga gave everyone a summary of the information they obtained

Momonga: Though we did not gain a lot of information about this world, we can now confirm our predictions that the church of Nia is an organization that has World Enemies under them

Tigris: Provoking them would not be in our best interests, but we now know that the true strength of this world is pitifully low!

Momonga: Exactly, but what should the next course of action be for Nazarick?

Albedo: As informed by the regional manager, the Kingdom we are currently in is called the Re:Estize Kingdom. Personally I don't like the idea of Nazarick being under another entity

Momonga: Then we will have a further discussion about our next course of action. You are all dismissed. Except for the floor and area guardians, I want everyone to return to their posts

NPCs of Nazarick: By your will!

Momonga (thinking): What do I do now!!!

[Perspective change]

In the elven forest, a figure was running through the forest at incredible speeds. The figure that was running was the Elf King!

Elf King: *paint* *paint* Monster! But… what would our child be like

Running through the forest, the Elf King attempted to make a escape, and possibly a grand comeback

Elf King (thinking): What should I do next… Take refuge in the Minotaur Kingdom? I am strong enough to subdue them, and with their power I can make a grand come bac-

Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a blonde Kurumi clone

Blond: Konbanwa Elf King-san~

Elf King: How dare you interrupt me!... actually… I will forgive you… Just become my concu-

Blond: It's a beautiful night today. Crickets are chirping, stars are twinkling... On nights like this, people like you… should be burning in hell~

(Author: Get the reference?)

Elf King: Wha-

Blond: {Rasiel}! {Grand Catastrophe}!!!

[Perspective change]

Platinum Dragon Lord: The puhlayers are already here!?

Wyrm Dragon Lord: Yes, but that attack was not theirs… I feel her energy in it…

Blue Sky Dragon Lord: What could have enraged her to that extent!? Even though she should be in the Elf Kingdom right now, we could still see that attack!

Obsidian Dragon Lord: Is this the power of someone who is said to be the incarnation of magic!? This is terrifying! We should keep a closer watch on her than the players!

All Dragon Lords: Agreed

[Perspective change]

Healer: Fluder-sama! You are still injured! Please refrain from moving much!

Fluder: Has eyes but can't see Mount Tai! Feel the magical energy around you! It is clearly gravitating towards one point! I must see what is happening! LET ME SEE!!!

Unable to restrain the Arch Mage, the healer allowed Fluder to exit the healing tent, but not without following him, and the sight that the two of them saw was truly magical

Everyone in the camp of the Baharuth Empire could see a wall made of pure destructive magical power engulf the entire forest

Fluder: THIS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH!!! WE MORTALS CAN NEVER HOPE TO CAST A SPELL OF THIS LEVEL!!! PRAY AND WORSHIP THE FULL MIGHT OF MAGIC!!! THE 3RD IMMEASURABLE TIER SPELL THAT THE GODDESS HAS SHOWN US!!! {TRUE MAGIC}!!!

Upon hearing what Fluder was saying, all the soldiers, commanders, and captured elfs immediately got to the ground and started to worship Kurumi

Pope: Hey hey! You are better at doing my job than me!

Fluder: Then just get better! By seeing this spell, I think I might achieve a breakthrough to the 8th tier!

Soldiers: Sasuga Fluder-sama!

In the personal chambers of the emperor, two people were conversing about politics

Jircniv: So how was the trip to Argland?

Kristina: Good, though we did encounter a lot of troubles

Jircniv: What did the Baharuth Empire gain from the expedition?

Kristina: The Dragon Lords now speak to us as equals, and we got permission to launch a full scale invasion against Re:Estize without them intervening

Jircniv: That is good. The morale of the people is at an all time high, as we just got news that our war against the Elf Kingdom has come to a close with only a few casualties. All we need to do now is to find justification for our full scale invasion next harvest season

Kristina: Just asking, but what was this war about?

Jircniv: I don't know, but what I do know is that in the post war treaty the Empire has secured itself 78% of the forest, though the church of Nia will be managing the capital and the counties around it. Also all prisoners of war and slaves that are of elven descent are to be handed to the church

Kristina: Won't this cause problems with the agricultural industry? We have been using elves as a workforce in that industry for centuries. What will you do to compensate for the loss of elves?

Jircniv: I don't currently know, but the church has said that they will be releasing a new technology that will be able to help the industry and other industries

Kristina: What sort of miracle technology is that?

Jircniv: They call it the {Realizer}

[2 months later]

In the shadow realm, two Kurumis were conversing. One had blonde hair, while the other had black hair

Kurumi: Did everything go well, me~?

Blond: Yes~ everything went wonderfully

Kurumi: Good~ well I will need Chokmah back now~

Blond: I know~

*Bang*

Swiftly killing herself with her pistol, she was re absorbed into her original leaving the Sephira Crystal floating mid air

Absorbing the Sephira Crystal, Kurumi finally felt one again

Kurumi: {Zafkiel} {Het} welcome back~

Recreating the clone that just killed herself, Kurumi welcomed her back

Blond: It is good to be back~! To be honest, I don't feel compatible with Chokmah~

Kurumi: Hum… Maybe it is because you are a clone?

Blond: Maybe~ well, I am off to resume my duties in Re:Estize~ prince Zanac wants to meet me~

Kurumi: Handle it well~

Blond: of course~

In the past two months, Kurumi ordered the re-growth of the elven forest, as the entire forest was obliterated by {Grand Catastrophe}. The elves were more than happy to comply, as now that the hated Elf King was killed, they can finally feel safe in their former country, even though it was reduced to rubble.

Though a lot of the elves are fearful of the church, most of the elves joined the church of Nia, increasing the church's workforce by 5 fold.

Though Kurumi allowed people full access to the re growing forest, she made a dome of {City of Devouring Time} around the former capital under the pretense that she was doing something top secret there, and so, no one except for her clones can enter

Kurumi: How is the project going?

????: Good~ though we are lacking the metals needed for sub project F1

Kurumi: Go to the Baharuth Empire. Inform them that the church of Nia wants to start relations with the Dwarven Kingdom

Kurumi (thinking): With the addition of all 41 Supreme Beings of Ainz Ooal Gown, they could easily steam roll me, so if the metals of this world are compatible, then everything should be going sunny side up~

Kurumi: I can't beat Ainz in the front of physical and special combat, but at least I can beat them in the department of technology! Project Ratatoskr is a go!
