Our group enters soul society through the senkaimon. By group I mean me,Ainz, Albedo, Hitsugaya and Rangiku. The last two respectfully went away since they were no longer needed, although Matsumoto stealthily went to the tavern. As for my zanpakuto, we decided that the best course of action would be to summon him if there was a fight or something. There is a limit to how long he could be around, so it's better to use it when needed instead.
Ainz decided to come to check out my place. He was never here, even during the game. Do I even need to mention Albedo? She instantly asked to come too. To be fair, she acts like some sort of eager tourist looking around excitedly. I swear I can even see stars in her eyes as she looks around at everything. The only thing she lacks is a camera to take hundreds of photos of everything around her.
At first, I wanted to go through Rukongai so that both of them could get a nice view of things around, but I decided otherwise since that would take too long and my presence would cause a lot of chaos among the population.
'We both know that this is not a real reason.'
'S-Shut up'
In reality, I decided that before my zanpakuto went back. So the real reason was so that she wouldn't have a chance to try seducing him.
Looking at her, I feel I've made the right choice since she is so excited that her movements make certain body parts wiggle around in a way that makes it hard not to look. Damn you, tabula, for making her big in the best areas. I might not be into girls, but even then, I could say how devilishly attractive she is for those who are.
We slowly walked ahead while occasionally meeting some shiningami doing their own bussiness. They just got confused as to why are we not traveling faster like using shunpo for example, but didn't ask. It took us lonk time to get to the meeting hall.
We went there because I got a message that Aizen figured out the idea about how to overthrow Slane Theocracy while preventing it from rising again. The only way I could find would be ruling directly, but I am not keen on having a mortal country as my domain.
Lately, I have been thinking about why I am known to the locals and even have my own religion while Ainz is not. The most probable answer is that I was way more social back in the game than him or Nazarick in general. I was very often taking part in events like roleplaying, etc. I think that the six gods that theocracy worships were players, and they simply gave knowledge to the locals. I must have came up with the said knowledge around there somewhere.
"Albedo seems to be very happy."
Ainz seems to be in a good mood, too. I think it's possible that he sees Albedo as his daughter or something. I mean, that would make some sense.
"She can be happy as long as she wants here unless she will try to seduce my zanpakuto again."
He chucked at my remark.
"You keep denying it, yet you act like a typical wife worried for a husband."
I looked down, feeling a blush creep on my cheeks. Me blushing? It never happened. He noticed it, though, if his chuckle is any indication.
I forcefully calmed myself with techniques I learned during 'work'. It helps in a lot of situations, mainly during infiltration and espionage.
After a stroll, which was calming despite a certain succubus acting weirdly, we arrived. I smirked at the look of awe on Albedo's face.
"Whoa."
"Pff"
I seems that Ainz is having a hard time to stop himself from laughing at her reaction. Normally aloof and even murderous demoness acting like a little girl first time seeing snow with her own eyes.
the bad thing is that It makes her even more dangerous. A little girl would be cute, but a... curvy seductress is dangerous for many.
Without much fanfare we entered the hall, inside I saw the old man, Kyouraku and Aizen who is holding a bunch of papers. Thankfully, the instant the door was open, Albedo went back into her serious persona, but I could still see her glancing at everything around.
"So, what is it?"
I asked, eager to have it done and start acting. The sooner we start the better for us. Yamamoto was the one to answer my question.
"Captain Aizen made up a plan that we found satisfactory."
We all turned to the keikaku master, who was very eager to let us know what he figured out.
"The plan has several steps to it, and it might seem long, which is why I noted it down here."
He said giving me the stack of papers. This is gonna take a little bit to read. Ainz also looked away as if realising that we both have similar problems.
"Please look it over. If my lady has any questions, I am more than willing to explain."
I looked at the two guests here.
"What do you want to do now. I need to look those over.'
Ainz sighed and started talking.
"I am wondering if you would like to take in Albedo."
"What?"
"Look at her shhe is way more loyal to you and don't even make me started on what she would choose. Even if she was made as an NPC to guard the tomb, I would still want her to do what she wants, not what she was made to do."
Is it wrong that I find it wholesome and touching?
"What about the guardians? She is the overseer."
"I will give that job to Demiurge. He is more than enough for this role."
So he really had thought it over.
I have not much manoeuvre other than simply declining.
"I will think about it."
At this, Albedo, who was listening nearby, trembled. I can hear her 'Yosha!' even if she is holding it back.
It's not that I am stalling, just so that she is not around my zanpakuto, ok? Totally not.
Thankfully, it seems to be enough for him right now, considering it satisfactory for now.
"Anyway, What do you want to do now?"
I asked the duo again.
"I would like to walk around for some time. What about you, Albedo?"
She looked between me and Ainz before making her decision.
"I would also like to do the same."
"Sure, go on. When you need to go, just get to the senkaimon. The guys there will open it for you."
Then Shunsui went ahead and offered.
"Maybe I shall guide you around the sereitei?"
He looked at me for what I think is approval which of course he got. After that they left going somewhere. The fact that he goes with thme makes it easier because I have no idea how lower ranked shiningami would react to the skeleton and a succubus walking around. With his company they will know that they are not some sort of intruders or anything malicious.
I look at the stack of papers and feel mentally drained just from the look.
"I will go and read those. If I have any questions, I will meet with you later."
With that, I shunpoed away to my house.
Technically, I could have asked them to summarise and present this to me, but I don't want to become lazy and snobbish even if, as a ruler, I have full right to be so. They wouldn't have cared if I did, and I even think it's possible that it was their intention to show off their skills.
I got inside my house and sat at chair behind a small desk there. Now that i think about it there is no dust around here while I never cleaned the house. How is this possible? Is someone coming and cleaning it for me when I am not around? Interesting.
Focusing on the task at hand I put those papers on a desk and started reading them one by one to see what kind of genius plan did Aizen thought about. It took a lot and when I finished it was already the next day's morning. It too so long mainly because sometimes I had to re-read it due complicated wordings and explanations of the whole plan.
