[ At this moment, Vera had already brought Pantagruel to the shrine, and Ainz, hearing the commotion, also walked up from the basement.
Just as Ainz walked up, he was surrounded by a group of golems: "What is the meaning of this?"
Kazuma still thought there was some misunderstanding and was trying to explain: "Wait, that outfit of yours and the Imperial soldiers in Tanya's world…"
"I am a spy from another country!" Vera looked at the two people below expressionlessly: "As far as stance goes, I am her enemy."
"Eh…?!" This sudden news left the two of them dumbfounded, and the passive forced calm on Ainz's body never stopped triggering.
Kazuma stood frozen in place: "Ainz, did you realize this?"
"Of course!" Ainz, whose body was still constantly emitting the green light of forced calm, maintained his majestic state. ]
[ ..... ]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"…"
Looking at Ainz, whose body was constantly emitting green light, everyone was speechless. Big brother, clearly, your heart is being shaken severely.
Why are you still pretending at a time like this?
There's no one else here; just honestly admit it.
.....
〜So I'm a Spider, So What? World〜
"As expected of you, that mouth is really stubborn!"
Even Kumoko, who was in the middle of eating, couldn't help but stop her movements, looking at the screen with a face full of admiration.
It seems that Demiurge and the others' tendency to overthink isn't without reason. With how stubborn Ainz's mouth is, those who didn't know better would really think everything was under his control!
After all, with Ainz's appearance as a skeleton, it's hard to see any look of shock on his face.
Because Ainz doesn't even have a face, where would the facial expression come from?!
.....
[ Still going her own way, Vera tore off Pantagruel's eyepatch without a word and slammed it onto the console. The sphere on the wall instantly emitted a dazzling red light.
The shrine began to vibrate violently. Ainz and Kazuma continued to stand there very casually, watching it all: "It's activated…"
"Ainz, Kazuma! I am someone who keeps my promises. If it's just the two of you, I can send you back to your original worlds."
As soon as these words came out, Kazuma's eyes instantly lit up, and his whole person became visibly excited: "Really?!"
"Hmph!" Ainz let out a cold snort and asserted directly: "Very unfortunate. Neither Kazuma nor I are people who would abandon our companions to return by ourselves!"
Hearing this, Kazuma was first startled, then immediately looked around with a guilty conscience…
But since Ainz had already said as much, Kazuma could only put his hands on his hips and put on an act as if Ainz was right. ]
[ ..... ]
〜Type-Moon World, Unlimited Blade Works Worldline〜
Tohsaka Rin slowly raised her hand and gently rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong:
"Kazuma… just now, when he heard he could go back, he got excited, right? He definitely got excited!"
Kazuma really sells out his teammates; he truly wished he could go back alone, and only changed his mind because he was morally kidnapped by Ainz's righteous words!
"Impossible!"
Emiya Shirou shook his head firmly. How could a Kazuma who would use 2 billion to save a companion feel excited about selling out his teammates?
"Although Kazuma's thinking is a bit realistic, a bit scummy, a bit lecherous, and a bit cowardly, he is definitely not the type of person to abandon his partners… right~~?"
As he spoke, Emiya Shirou successfully convinced himself, and his whole demeanor seemed a bit unconfident. After all, this is something Kazuma could actually do.
"Well said, but why use a question mark? Speak with more conviction!"
Cu Chulainn rolled his eyes speechlessly. For a moment, I didn't know if you were praising him or roasting him.
〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Wordline〜
"If Ainz wasn't by his side, that guy Kazuma would have definitely agreed!"
Miyu's face became a bit stiff. This moral baseline is really flexible.
Luvia looked at Kazuma pretending to be noble and almost blacked out:
"More than agreeing, he might have even celebrated in advance."
"Although it looks like that, at the critical moment, it's impossible for Kazuma to abandon his companions."
Illya shook her head, still believing in Kazuma's character.
Kazuma is the type who, no matter how much he is looked down upon or spat on normally, will never let down the people around him at the critical moment.
.....
[ "Kazuma, can you use Lurk to leave here and convey the situation to everyone?" Ainz looked at the magic power constantly gathering in the sphere and planned to stay here to buy time.
Kazuma didn't have any psychological pressure and said very cowardly words with great momentum: "Leave it to me. A place this scary, I'll escape immediately for you to see!"
In response, Ainz also complained speechlessly: "Although you said it very handsomely, the aura of a good-for-nothing is already overflowing."
"Stop praising me. Lurk." Kazuma said no more and vanished from his sight.
Not long after Kazuma left, an explosion occurred in the shrine. Relying on his teleportation ability, Ainz held Pantagruel and moved to a safe location just in time. ]

"Who's praising you!?"
Jeanne d'Arc Alter couldn't hold back her retort. Even running away was said with such momentum, as expected of you.
Although that final Lurk did look a bit handsome…
"Eh? I think it's not bad."
The chaotic fox Tamamo-no-Mae smiled faintly:
"Although Kazuma is rarely serious, every time he gets serious, he's actually quite handsome."
Some small flaws usually aren't unacceptable. Just ask, who wouldn't be moved by a man who can die for you at a critical moment!
The merit of being scummy is really having no lower limit on crazy antics… but having a bottom line as a person. Having no integrity won't make people detest him; he has a unique charm.
〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜
"Satou Kazuma, an ordinary high school student, without any cheats, starting in another world by working part-time to earn money… No matter how you look at it, he's ordinary!"
Ristarte only then remembered that this seemingly ordinary King of Scum before her eyes actually had a record of defeating numerous Demon King generals.
Ariadoa smiled:
"He looks ordinary because he is used to using his own little wits to find that sliver of possibility."
Unlike Seiya, Kazuma's strength can't be considered strong. Even within the hero community, his strength could be said to be at the bottom.
But such an ordinary yet extraordinary person left a deep impression.
Because Kazuma often complains verbally about his teammates causing trouble everywhere, but in the end, he still takes responsibility and resolves the issues they caused.
.....
[ Outside the shrine, countless golems, big and small, blocked their path to the shrine. A massive brawl officially began!
Natsuki Subaru and Beatrice held hands and flew into the air, launching purple crystal magic, Minya, at the golems below, turning into a human bomber!
Not to be outdone, the Tanya squad, having not brought guns, could only fly in the air and greet the golems' heads with entrenching tools.
On the ground, Mare also cast the support magic Earth Power for everyone, enhancing everyone's attack power!
However, even with the buff magic added, Darkness's attacks still couldn't hit anyone…
Cocytus directly used Acalanatha, and merely the airwaves from his axe destroyed countless golems.
Looking at the phantom of Acalanatha, Emilia said somewhat dazedly: "It feels a bit scary. It might be better if he smiled a little."
Cocytus said in a muffled voice: "The Immovable Wisdom King does not smile…"
"Is that so? That's just what he thinks himself, right?" Emilia revealed a smile like an angel: "Even if he can't smile now, one day he will be able to." ]
[ ..... ]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, Darkness should just be a meat shield directly. Even with buffs, you can't hit anyone."
"Making Acalanatha smile… Emilia, are you really not 'white on the outside, black on the inside'?"
Looking at Emilia's gentle smile and somewhat innocent eyes, everyone was a bit conflicted at this moment. Why does she seem a bit black-bellied…
.....
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
"E—M—T!"
Natsuki Subaru was so moved that he was about to tear up. Although she looks a bit natural-headed, Emilia-tan is truly an angel!
"Really, Subaru is talking nonsense again."
Emilia tilted her head in confusion.
Wait, his words and actions are a bit strange… isn't this the chuunibyou that Ainz talked about?
However… is the relationship between Subaru and Beatrice really that good? At this moment, even the somewhat natural airhead Emilia noticed something unusual.
And inside the library, Beatrice had confirmed it. Her originally somewhat numb eyes finally had some spirit. This time, it finally didn't end in disappointment.
Natsuki Subaru is the person she was waiting for. In the future, they have even signed a contract!
.....
[ Although everyone had their own achievements on the battlefield, the Goddess of Wisdom was an exception…
"Uwaaaah, aaaaah!" Aqua was currently crying while being chased all over the place by a group of small golems.
Unable to watch any longer, the Shield Hero came over and blocked that group of golems for her: "Hurry up and counterattack!"
"Eh, I won't attack, you know." Aqua patted her chest as a matter of course: "I am a Goddess of Healing. I can heal, but attacking isn't my specialty."
Emilia also gathered around at this time: "Aqua, can you do something with that move called 'God Blow'?"
Aqua directly crossed her arms and refused: "No way, that's too big!"
Emilia was even more confused: "But didn't you say it? A hit means certain death!"
"Yes, it can kill anything, but not golems! Yes, it doesn't work on golems." Aqua waved her hand somewhat matter-of-factly.
"It's a pity, I can't do anything right now." ]
[ ..... ]
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"Hahaha, Aqua really lives up to being the comic relief. In a situation where she can't do anything, she's actually proud of it!"
"God Blow is certain death on hit, except for frogs. Aqua will never get over this hurdle in her life."
Outside the video, everyone looked at each other, suspecting whether Aqua's IQ had dropped so low that she forgot she could summon floods?
Against this group of golems that can't fly, isn't your water magic the best method of attack?
.....
〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜
"Crashing the market! She is crashing my market!"
At this moment, Ristarte was showing a peculiar facial expression, her eyes bloodshot, her face twisted and appearing to be gritting her teeth.
"She, a Water Goddess, actually says she is a Healing Goddess? Then what am I!"
The Healing Goddess Ristarte never thought that one day, bullying in the divine realm would actually reach her head. Her perfectly good job was almost gone…
Seiya glanced at her slightly upon hearing this:
"Then you are the Goddess of Facial Expressions."
Ristarte, who would normally retort a few sentences, directly ignored Seiya's words.
She was biting her finger, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, putting on a pose of deep thought.
Although Aqua does touch upon healing a bit, stealing jobs shouldn't cross boundaries like this!
Since it's like this, should I also learn some water magic?
Thinking and thinking, Ristarte suddenly realized something was wrong…
