Blankly staring at the fight of Aura and Mare, Momonga start summarizing from information he obtained so far. The NPC he so far encountered were they programmed? No, they have the same sense as humans and there was no differences. A program is absolutely unable to show such fine emotions. It should be assumed that due to some reason, they became like humans.
And what in this world is going on?
He did not know. Since the magic from Yggdrasil can be used here, then it would be more appropriate to assume that it is a game like Yggdrasil. But according to his own judgement, it is doubtful. It is nothing like inside a game. In the end, is it still in the game or in a different world? It should be one of them. Although it is a bit weird to ask this question.
In what state of mind show he face the future?
He has to conform to what extend Yggdrasil influenced this world. If the monsters inside Nazarick and the NPCs are all based on the electromagnetic data from Yggdrasil, then there should be no enemy here.
The problem is if they are some other data except the electromagnetic data involved. Then he would have to take a different attitude to face them. In short, for the time being, he had the highest positions here and need to assume a majestic appearance — if you need to do it — he had to act more appropriately.
What this kind of action should be taken in the future?
He should try to collect clues, although it is unclear how this world works, at the moment Momonga is simply an ignorant traveller. He must proceed with caution and carefully collect information.
If this is a different world, should he strive to find ways to return to his original world?
He feels doubtful. If you have friends in the old world, you should do so. Maybe if your parents are still alive, it would be good to think of ways to go home. If there is a family in need of support, or a girlfriend…
But there were no such people waiting for him.
His life was just repeatedly working for his company then go home. After coming back home from work login Yggdrasil and wait for the fellow members to login. I am afraid this won’t happen any more in the future. Then what value is there back home?
But if it was possible to go back, he should try to find way how. Having another option is always better, because there may be hell outside.
"What to do now……"
Momonga’s lonely word echoed in the air.
Part 4
The huge Primal Fire Elemental is slowly melting and disappearing into thin air. The heat that has been released into the air is also gradually fading.
With the disappearance of the Fire Elemental, Momonga had a slight feeling that his dominance over it was also vanishing. Although Primal Fire Elementals have extraordinary destructive strength and durability, their amazing fire damage can be totally ineffective. For someone with high agility like Aura, it is just a huge target.
Normally Aura should have also lost some health while attacking, but since Mare was a druid he did not allow such a thing. In fact, Mare was efficiently using magic during the whole fight to assist Aura by strengthening her or weakening the foe. They were very competent in playing the role of attacker and defender and it can be said that they were a perfect match. At the same time, Momonga also felt the difference between this battle and fighting games. This is a real combat.
"Very exciting…… both of you….. have performed really well."
Hearing Momonga’s heartfelt admiration, both kids smile from ear to ear:
"Thank you for your praise Momonga-sama. It has been a long time since we had such a great exercise!"
The two of them wiped their sweat off their face, however after doing so, they sweat even more, which rolled off their light dark skin. Momonga silently opens the item box and takes out the magic item — [Unlimited Kettle].
Inside Yggdrasil there is hunger and thirst, but these needs are totally unrelated to the Undead Momonga and therefore he never uses this item. At most it would be used on his mount. Similar to a transparent glass, the kettle fills up with fresh water. Because of the cold water, countless drops of water start gathering on the kettle.
He takes out two beautiful cups, fills them with water and gives them to twins:
"Aura, Mare, come drink up."
"Huh? That is too kind of you, Momonga-sama……"
"Yes, my magic can also be changed into water."
Seeing Aura constantly waving her hands and Mare continuously shaking his head, Momonga reveals a smile:
"This is a piece of cake. You are always performing well and this is my thanks to you." "Wow ah ───"
"Woo Oh ──"
Feeling shy and red in the face, Aura and Mare’s hands timidly took the cup:
"Thank you, Momonga-sama!"
"To, to even have Momonga-sama pour me water!"
Was it really necessary for them to become this happy?
Aura no longer refuses, takes the cup with both hands and downs it. She is spilling drops of water, which flow down to her throat and continue to disappear into her chest. Mare is holding the cup with both hands and drinks with small gulps. Just by the way of drinking, the different personalities of these two become apparent.
While watching their movements, Momonga’s hand touches his own neck. To him, it still feels like there is a layer of skin.
His body so far did not feel thirsty and not even felt sleepy. Although it is obvious that Undead don’t have these feelings, finding out you are no longer a human being makes you want to think that it is all a joke.
Momonga continues to touch his body. There is no skin, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and organs, only bones. Even if he’s aware of it, it still doesn’t feel real and so he is constantly touching his body. The sense of touch is duller compared to a human. It kind of feels like touching something with a thin cloth in between. On the other hand, whether it is visual or auditory, these senses have become sharper. When somebody sees a body made of nothing but bones, one would think it would fracture easily. However, every bone was harder than steel.
And despite being completely different from the past, he had a strange sense of satisfaction and fulfilment. It feels like this is how his body should be. Maybe this is the reason he didn’t panic when his body turned into bones. "Want more?"
Momonga lifts the [Unlimited Kettle] and asks the two kids if they want to drink more.
"Uh — thank you! I have had enough!!"
"Is that right? Then how about you Mare? Still want a drink?"
"Eh! Uh… uh… I… I’ve had enough. I don’t feel thirsty anymore."
Nodding in response, Momonga recovers the two cups once again and puts them back into his item box. Aura suddenly whispers:
"I thought Momonga-sama would be more frightening."
"Ah? Really? If so, then comparing to right now……"
"Now, this is better! Definitely better!"
"Then lets stay this way. "
Hearing Aura’s excited answers, Momonga was a little bit surprised to respond.
"Momonga-sama, surely you won’t be gentle only to us right~~" Facing Aura’s question, Momonga does not know how to answer and just pats Aura's head.
"Hehehe."
Aura looks like a puppy who discovered her new favorite thing, while Mare is showing a very envious expression. Suddenly a voice could be heard:
"Huh? Could I be the first to arrive? "
Although the tone was mature, the voice sounded pretty young and a shadow emerges from the ground. The shadow slowly turns into the shape of a door and an individual emerges.
Wearing a soft looking, black evening dress with a big, heavy looking skirt. The upper body dressed in a lace embellished ribbon and a short tailored jacket. She was wearing long lace gloves and therefore had hardly any exposed skin.
