Peroroncino returned to the tailor's shop and used magic to wake the two who were asleep.
"Am I... not dead?"
"I resurrected you!"
"Thank you so much, Lord Chino!"
As someone who had worked in the capital for many years, the tailor, who often overheard gossip, was aware that the leader of the Blue Rose was capable of using resurrection magic.
After some questioning, Peroroncino learned the identities of the group of people who had killed the tailor and his child.
It was a small organization near the royal capital that frequently extorted protection money. They never killed anyone; if someone refused to pay, they would harass and make life difficult for them, preventing normal people from living in peace. For these kinds of small matters, reporting to the guards was useless. They'd just get locked up for a few days, and after that, they'd be out again.
Peroroncino directly ordered Nana to take advantage of the cover of night and eliminate everyone in the small organization.
He then invited the tailor to take their son to Carne Village, where there was a high level of security.
The tailor agreed and decided to pack up their things and leave. Peroroncino planned to arrange for Nana to protect them on their journey to Carne Village.
The next day, Peroroncino arrived at the Tob Forest, where Aura was creating a fake version of Nazarick.
"Peroroncino-sama!" Aura immediately bowed and greeted Peroroncino upon seeing him.
"Aura, you've worked hard in the end!"
"It's no trouble, it is only right to serve the Supreme One."
"Aura, do you know about the Eastern Giants and the Western Serpent in the Tob Forest?"
"I'm terribly sorry, Peroroncino-sama, I haven't found any information regarding the Eastern Giants or Western Serpent in the forest."
"I've thoroughly searched the forest and haven't found any powerful magical creatures."
"They should be on the same level as Hamsuke. It's normal that you didn't find anything!"
"Would you like me to clean them up? If you send a few of my pets, we should be able to handle them easily."
"No need, I actually want to see what these two magical creatures look like."
"Feel free to capture a few magical creatures and ask them for information about the Eastern Giants and the Western Serpent!"
"As you command!"
Aura whistled, and a magical creature charged over from nearby, tossing Aura onto its back.
Soon, Aura returned.
"Peroroncino-sama, I found a cave that is likely the lair of the Eastern Giant."
"Take me there!"
Aura specially switched to a more comfortable mount for the journey.
"Peroroncino-sama, please sit up here!"
Peroroncino climbed onto Aura's pet.
"Not far ahead is the cave of the Eastern Giant."
Peroroncino rested his hands on Aura's shoulders. Although Aura was very close, Peroroncino had no particular thoughts.
It couldn't be helped. While Aura appeared quite cute, Peroroncino preferred tall elves. Moreover, Aura was an NPC created by his sister, Bukubukuchagama, and Peroroncino respected his sister greatly.
He had no intention of making a move on Aura.
"Peroroncino-sama, you and Bukubukuchagama-sama are siblings. What kind of person is Bukubukuchagama-sama?"
After an NPC is created, they typically stay in the places they are ordered to be, so it's rare to meet the supreme being. Aura's understanding of her creator, Bukubukuchagama, is very limited.
"Her? Well, she really likes small animals, which is one of the reasons she set you up as a beast tamer!"
"She's very assertive with people she knows, but a bit shy with strangers."
"When we used to team up, she was always the commander. Her ability to assess battle situations was surprisingly strong."
"Unfortunately, we won't be able to see her again."
"Bukubukuchagama-sama is really impressive! How does Bukubukuchagama-sama's command ability compare to Ainz-sama's?"
"Let me put it this way, when Momonga was in a team with Bukubukuchagama, she was still the commander."
"That's amazing!"
"She's not as amazing as you think!" Peroroncino said, gently patting Aura on the head.
"It's just a shame she went to become a voice actress, which is why she ended up participating in a lot of H-Games."
"What's a H-Games?"
"To put it simply, it's..."
"You seem like you're not of age, right?"
"Yes, Peroroncino-sama."
"I'll tell you when you're of age!"
"Ah... Peroroncino, can you tell me now? It'll be a long time before I come of age."
"You really want to know?"
"I want to know."
"It's... those kinds of games or anime that are a bit... lewd."
"What does 'lewd' mean?"
"It's something that Shalltear and I often do. You can ask Shalltear for the details!"
Aura was confused and nodded, saying, "Alright, thank you for telling me so much."
At this moment, the two had reached the entrance of the cave.
They walked in without hesitation.
"Who's there?" A few goblins suddenly appeared from the dark corners, holding weapons like wooden clubs.
"Aura, take care of them."
"Understood!"
Aura drew her bow and shot an arrow, killing one goblin. She quickly adjusted her aim and shot another one. The whole process took less than two seconds.
As they continued forward, the smell of ogres hit them.
"It smells a bit!"
"There should be a lot of monsters here."
Peroroncino raised his hand.
"Fifth-tier magic: Gale!"
"Fifth-tier magic: Scent Covering!"
With all classes at his disposal, Peroroncino easily dispersed the foul smell and replaced it with another scent.
Peroroncino and Aura continued forward.
Before long, they reached the depths of the lair.
"Humans!" The three ogres spotted Peroroncino.
"Aura, it's up to you,"
Peroroncino used a small dagger, making it a bit slow to deal with the ogres.
Aura swung her whip, and with a light flick, the heads of two ogres were knocked off, rolling to the ground.
"Call your leader out!"
The remaining ogre discarded its weapon and hurriedly fled.
Soon, a fearsome-looking ogres approached, holding a massive sword, accompanied by 7 or 8 regular ogres.
"Submit or die." Peroroncino immediately lost interest in the large brute.
"A mere human dares to make me submit? Die!"
Then, the ogres's head was struck off by Aura's whip.
The other ogres stood there, stunned. Their leader had just died like that.
"Aura, take care of these ogres too!"
"Understood!"
Aura swung her whip, and the ogres were quickly eliminated.
"Peroroncino-sama, what do you plan to do about the snake monster over there?"
Before Peroroncino could speak, the invisible snake monster immediately revealed itself.
"I submit, I submit."
The snake monster kept bowing to Peroroncino and Aura.
As his old rival, the Eastern Giant had died so easily. The Western Serpent, being extremely fearful of death, surely wouldn't be ungrateful.
"Good. Take your subordinates and attack the human village to the south of the forest tomorrow. After all your subordinates are dead, then you will come forward."
"Understood!"
The Western Serpent, upon hearing Peroroncino's words, could only obediently agree.
