The Forty Second

Chapter 44

(Author: Question, if an onee-san type character were to get a Stand (Jojo), would the stand cry be Ora Ora, Muda Muda or… Ara Ara? Think about it!)

Kurumi: For the last time~ can I have {Zafkiel} back?

Zesshi: No! I am keeping it!

The usual routine of Kurumi asking for her crystal fragment back and Zesshi always denying continued to this day, but this time Kurumi was going to use her trump card. The pity factor!

Kurumi: *Sobbing* Z-zesshi… D-do you want me to die?

Zesshi: No! Of course not! I don't want my mother to die!

Kurumi: *Sob* t-then why are you refusing to hand me back *sob* my weapon?

Zesshi: B-because without it, I-I would not *getting quieter* be your… Kin

Kurumi *back to normal*: So that is what you were worrying about~!

Immediately getting closer to Zesshi, and caressing her seductively Kurumi said

Kurumi: My silly daughter~ you are already my kin~ you don't need physical looks to confirm our relationship~

This time, Zesshi did not step back, and fully embraced what Kurumi was doing

Zesshi: R-really?

Kurumi: Yeah~ Kitto Zutto~

Zesshi: What does that mean?

Kurumi: Forever I'm sure~

(Author: This is a reference that VERY die hard fans of the franchise would know)

Zesshi: Um!

Kurumi: This might hurt a bit~ {Zafkiel}

In a blink of an eye, Kurumi took back her first and fifth bullets from Zesshi, but before Zesshi could even wince from the pain of being stabbed, Kurumi healed her with time

Kurumi: {Dalet}~. Did that hurt?

Zesshi: N-no… Mother… Can you step back? *getting quieter* Y-you are too close…

Kurumi: No~ this is a bonding moment for mother and daughter~

Zesshi: *Blush*

Kurumi (thinking): So this is what they mean when a boss suddenly becomes a playable character~

Suddenly another figure descended into the shadow realm. This is a rare occurrence, as these days, Kurumi sent all of her clones to work on project Ratatoskr

The figure that descended into the shadow realm was a regional manager like Blond, but her hair was silver!

Sliver: Ara~ am I disrupting a moment between me and our daughter~?

Kurumi: No~

The relationship that Zesshi had with the clones are a very complicated one, as the clones all consider Zesshi their shared daughter, but Zesshi only considers the original as her mother

Letting go of a slightly disappointed Zesshi, Kurumi faced the clone

Kurumi: What is the matter~?

Silver: Some reports. First of all, the pope reached tier 6 and Fluder reached tier 8

Kurumi: Mm~ send them my congrats~

Silver: Next~ the first batch of {Realizers} have been made. The metals we used making it were some mythril and adamantite.

Kurumi: Good~ send a tenth of it to Jircniv to compensate for the damage in the agricultural industry~

Silver: Alright~ last and most concerning report… Nazarick has announced themselves to the public. With this announcement, they are making moves against the Re:Estize Kingdom. The Re:Estize Kingdom is seeking support from the church. That is why they contacted Blond

Kurumi: How troublesome~ I think I will make my long overdue visit to Nazarick~ Zesshi, would you like to come?

Zesshi: It would be my pleasure!

Kurumi: Alright~

[Perspective change]

In the Round Table Room, all forty one Supreme Beings were conversing about their discoveries in the new world, as a month ago, they all decided to head into the world disguising themselves

Variable Talisman: Both me and Nubo explored the reaches of the world and found some very interesting things! Show em Nubo

Appearing in the middle of the table, a hologram that was even larger than the first time the skill was used manifested

Nubo: I have marked Nazarick as the red, the important kingdoms and empires as green, and the church as gray. As we can see here… there is obviously the remains of a large scale battle north west of our location, and we all know what spell can make that crater

Ulbert: A World Disaster!!! I thought I could call myself the strongest magic caster in the world, but it looks like I have a rival!

Momonga: Ulbert-san, everyone, as we can see here… the little gray dots that scatter the map is the church. But there is one area in particular where it is not a dot, but a domain. Nubo-san, what was in that area?

Nubo: Well you see here… in the middle of the crater is a large red dome. Though my skills allow me to see what is inside, I tried to send in some low level doppelgangers, and they reported that they were losing 10 HP every second

Garnet: Well what was inside?

Nubo: I don't believe it, but it looks like a shipyard, a technology factory, and a giant tree. Oh and they are all operated by people who look exactly like the regional manager, but has black hair

Kurumi: Well it is because black is my original color~!

Manifesting herself in the middle of the table, Kurumi appeared

Kurumi: Gokigen'yo~ I am the original of the clones Honjo Nia~ but you can call me by my original name Tokisaki Kurumi~

Wish III: How did you appear here! There was no shadow in the tabl-

Kurumi: I simply made it fact that me and my daughter would appear here~ talking about my daughter… Don't you think it is rude to not introduce yourself~?

Zesshi: My name is Antilene… Nice to meet you

Kurumi: Oh yeah~! You never told me what name I should call you by~

Zesshi: I-I don't mind mother…

Kurumi: Mm… Then I will call you… Antilene~

Antilene: Mm

Watching the heartwarming scene between the two people that just appeared, the Supreme Beings felt touched, but that did not make them forget that the person in front of them is presumably a World Enemy

Kurumi: Though I want to sit down… I know that this is not a table meant for me~

Stepping down from the table, both Kurumi and Antilene went to the side of the room and materialized seats for them to sit on

Ancient One: I have long wondered, did you really come from Japan? The powers you possess is not one that can be found in this world

Kurumi: I came from Japan~ though it is probably different than yours~

Momonga: What do you mea-

Kurumi: Parallel universes! But let's get back on topic~ the reason why I came here is to propose a peace treaty between the church of Nia and Ainz Ooal Gown~

Momonga: Hoh… What does this treaty entitle?

Kurumi: First~ Ainz Ooal Gown is not allowed to attack the church or its allies.

Momonga: Reasonable

Kurumi: Second~ The church of Nia will allow Ainz Ooal Gown to do anything with the world, except for the territories of the former Elf Kingdom, and the Baharuth Empire

Momonga: Mm…

Kurumi: Third~ Ainz Ooal Gown and the church of Nia will have a technological exchange once every year. The technology that will be exchanged will not include peak level technology. That includes World Items, Cash Shop Items, Divine tier items, and others~

Momonga: That is acceptable… So far, the treaty clearly leans towards our guild. What is the last point

Kurumi: Lastly~! Well this is not a part of what is written on paper, but… I would like to submit my application papers to join the guild!

Momonga (thinking): WHAT!?

Kurumi: I fit all the criteria~ I am categorized as a heteromorph, as you saw part of my status through Blond~, I am a working member of society! My job is just God~, and I hope I can get the majority vote~

Momonga: [We need to discuss this! Should we allow her into the guild?!]

Touch Me: [She clearly knows this world more than we do, and since the church has a World Disaster in their ranks, and they have not attacked or shown us any hostility, my vote is yes]

Flatfoot: [I agree. My vote is yes]

Bukubukuchagama: [My vote is yes! She is very kawaii, and she has a daughter! How could I say no]

Peroroncino: [I am not sure… My vote is probably yes, but I need to confirm something]

Peroroncino: Are you really Antilene's mother?

Kurumi: Ara~? Why do you ask? I am Antilene's adopted mother

Peroroncino: So does that mean you are a vir-

Bang! Bukubukuchagama hit her brother in the head with a shield

Bukubukuchagama: Baka brother! Sorry Toki-nii my brother is being an idiot

Kurumi: It is fine~

Luci*fer: Just because she handled Pero well, my vote is yes. Also can you teach me that laugh of yours?

Kurumi: Sure~

Ulbert *acting like Pandora's Actor*: My vote is yes!!! She is one of my people! Covering one of her eye! She is a chunni!

Instantly, Kurumi regretted her fashion choices

Yamaiko: My vote is yes, same of Ankoro's too, as we need more females in the guild!

Ankoro: Mm!

Blue Planet: Seeing how you restored a forest that you destroyed, it means that you care about the environment… My vote is yes

Peroroncino *dizzy*: M-my vote is yes, n-ow become my waif-

Bang. he was hit down again

Momonga: Seeing that Tokisaki-san is compatible with the guild members my vote is yes

With the guild leader that they all respect casting his vote, the other guild members that originally had some doubts regarding Kurumi, conceded and voted in favor of Kurumi joining

Kurumi: Looks like I am now the forty second Supreme Being now~

Momonga: So it would seem. Anyways we accept the peace treaty, and I look forward to working with the church!

(Author: No, Kurumi did not plan or even want to antagonize Ainz Ooal Gown, she was just taking measures in case they turn hostile)

(Author: If you are looking forward to a fight, then the Kurumi vs Ulbert fight will come up soon)
