Chapter 10: chapter 10
It was the start of a new day. The adventurers walking on the streets ready to go on the dungeon confirmed it. Humans, Dwarves, elves, and all sorts of animal people clad in armor entered a certain shop. The shop they entered was a shabby building that most of the time was desolate. It was weird seeing people in huge quantities like this. Most of the time this area was devoid of visitors.
"Hey, let me enter, I came before than you."
"Hahaha, do you still believe the saying ' First come first serve' even if you are an adventurer? Don't be kidding me, We adventurers have always believed in the 'law of the jungle; or 'The survival of the fittest as they say."
The adventurer that said that was just saying it right now because there was no high-level adventurer behind him. He wouldn't have the balls to say it if there was, he would stay quiet.
"Hey, Why are you all here in this small potion shop?" a clueless adventurer that was passing by asked.
"What! haven't you heard? Yesterday, sometime at night a madman bought all the magic potions they had in the potion shop located in the tower."
"Yeah, It was said that he was the one that began this chaos. This morning some adventurers went to the tower to buy potions but they were told that there were no magic potions. After that Adventurers went into a shopping frenzy."
"People said that the one who bought all the potions on that certain shop was someone of a High-level Familia and that they were preparing themselves for another outbreak. So they began to buy the potions from the shops on the tower like crazy. After some time another batch of adventurers went and as they wanted to buy potions... They were told that the shop was out of magic potions, potions, dual potions, elixirs, and high magic potions. After hearing that, They went from shop to shop on the same floor but had no luck as all the shops said the same. It was even said that the rest of the floors that held shops that sold potions were also empty of it."
"And so, as you can see that we all are now preparing for the worst. A lot of people are all around Orario finding hidden shops that sell potions even if the potions are from the lowest grade. Some also said that they had seen the Loki Familia joining the search for hidden shops."
"Oh... That's crazy" The adventurer said as he also joined the fray
While all this was happening in Orario. The source of this problem was busy picking an alchemist.
'Hmm, what level of alchemist should I send? If I send a low-level that god would certainly get mad as he would think I'm joking with him, And if send someone high-level too much information could be discovered. So, what level should I send? Should I send someone from level thirty to thirty-five? They were considered in the realm of heroes, At least, in the previous world that is. yeah, I think that should do, I will pick a level 35 and send him to Miach."
---------------------------------
Today he had woken up early feeling elated as it was the day that the condition of his familia would change.
He opened his run-down shop earlier than ever as it was also the last day he would be selling potions to adventurers. But... as soon as he opened the shop a torrent of adventurers came in.
"Yeah, this is the shop I was telling you about"
"This is the shop that belongs to sir Miach."
"It seems that it opened"
was all the noise he heard. He was shocked to see a lot of customers coming. The shock in which he entered was enough to leave him paralyzed for a moment.
'Did someone hear the conversation I had last night? And if someone did, did they told other adventurers about it? That's the only reason I can think of why there's a lot of customers now.'
While he was paralyzed all those questions passed through his head.
"Miach-sama can you give me 3 potions."
"Sir Miach, I came first so I should be attended fir-" The adventurer who said that he came first was knocked down in a single hit.
"Miach-sama, ignore him, It was I who came first. Can you give me 5 potions and 1 high potion?
"Miach-sama, ignore all of them. Please attend me first, I will buy more potions than them. I would like 8 potions and 3 high potions"
"Oh, so that's how you want to play, Sir Miach give me 12 potions and 5 high potions."
"Hey, that's not fair you will purchase all the potions this shop has." A statement of objection soon came from the wave of voices heard.
"Should we all gang upon them? We then can divide the amount of potions they have." And another adventurer gave his opinion. Soon after others heard him they agreed with his suggestion.
"Yeah, we should do that, or else we would be left without potions."
But there were still fearless adventurers that continued ordering big amounts of potion.
"Miach-sama give me 20 potions 15 high potions and 2 elixirs."
It was then that Miach came out of his entranced state.
"Huh!?" Who in their right mind would think that his shop contained that many potions, and high potions. And now they seemed as if they had gone crazy. He was dirt poor so how could they expect him to have the materials to create elixirs. It seemed that they ignored his dignity and trampled it as they saw fit, with how they were asking for potions. HOW IN THE WORLD DID THEY EXPECT HIM TO GATHER ENOUGH MATERIALS TO MAKE ALL THOSE POTIONS!?
Still, it seems that he would need to give a limit on how many potions one person could get, or else he was sure that a fight would break here.
"Please line up, and can you tell me how many people there are."
The adventurers didn't want to line up as that would be like giving someone the chance to go before them.
"Those who are not in line will not be sold any potions also the amount of potions each customer can buy is limited." Miach was afraid that if a fight occurred here his shop would be destroyed.
The Adventurers quickly lined up and counted how many of them there were. The line they made was so long that some adventurers were outside the shop as there were enough people to fill the small building.
"Miach-sama there are 40 of us."
'Huh, the potions I currently have is 50. It consists of 45 potions and 5 high potions and that is all I can gather. So how do I divide it?'
"There are currently five high potions. Is anyone interested in high potions? All the potions are limited to one per person. It doesn't matter what kind of potion it is. So what will you be buying?"
Miach told the adventurers and then asked the adventurer who was the first customer in line.
The adventurer sank in thought as he was choosing what potion he would buy. The adventurer thought that if he bought a high potion it could be a waste but also be useful given the situation. He knew that this would be the only potion he would be getting as it was nigh impossible to find another shop that sold potions that still had potions remaining. If he bought a high potion it would be a waste to use it if he was only a bit injured so a potion would be better. But if the opposite happened, Where he was critically injured then he would need a high potion and if he had a potion then it could be his end. So he was stuck in his thoughts until he came to an accord with himself that his life was more important and he could get the money back if needed. So his choice was set and he picked a high potion.
After that people bought their potions one by one. And as they finished their transactions they left the shop. After the last five were customers entered the shop, Miach gave them the limit of buying two potions each.
" "Thanks, Miach-sama." " They said in unison as they also left the shop.
MIach sat that as soon as they left and turned to look at his empty shelves.
'It seems that my luck keeps growing these days. When will he get here? Ah, it's no use fretting about it. So let me Count the money I made today.'
Miach opened a small drawer that was behind the counter and began to take out the valis which he had putten inside it a while ago. After taking it all out he placed it out on the counter and began to count it. As he counted the money he brought it inside the drawer again.
As he was so engrossed by counting the money that when the doorbell rang, he just thought it was another customer and didn't even glance at the said customer.
"We are out of potions at the moment." That's all he said without even looking up.
"Oh, it seems that your store is really popular." The "customer" said
"Huh," Miach immediately raised his head as he recognized that voice.
"Oh, it's you. Come in, come in don't be shy." Miach waved his hand signaling them to come inside.
"Hahaha, you were so focused, that I thought you wouldn't be receiving me."
"Hahaha, how could that be." Miach gave an awkward laugh as he was so absorbed in counting the money that he almost chased out his soon-to-be benefactor.
"I came by to leave this girl here as I promised yesterday. Alina, come here and introduce yourself. Now then, I will be going as I have things to do."
After his soon-to-be benefactor left. The girl he brought had purple silver hair and dark purple eyes and was also a beauty.
"I am Alina Heather. It's nice to meet you sir Miach. Ainz-sama said that I am at your disposal and you can do with me as you like."
'It looks like he was serious all this time. He even sent a member of his, in my Familia.' Miach thought as he looked at the good-looking girl in front of him.
"Well then let's go at the back where the room is located," Miach said as he didn't notice his wording could be misinterpreted.
He turned his back to the girl and did not notice the disgusted face she made after he said that. But she still followed him to the room he went.
The room they entered consisted of two beds, A big closet, lamps, and other small items.
'Oh, it seems that Naaza has already waked up.' He thought as he saw that the other bed didn't have the person on it.
"Do you still have the blessing that your god gave you?"
"No, Ainz-sama took away his blessing the moment he brought me here." Her wording was a bit off and she was referring to another kind of blessing, not the one Miach asked. But as both of them didn't know what each other were referring to they took it the way they understood it. Also, the misunderstanding happened because she genuinely believed that Ainz's blessing was taken away the moment she came, so Miach didn't sense any falsehood.
"Ok, That will be easier then, now take off your blouse and get into bed face down. You can also sit down if you want."
"Mhm, I will do that." She got a small stool from the room and sat in front of the bed where Miach was already located. She then took off her blouse and waited for this perverted god to touch her.
Miach began rubbing her back and felt that she was a bit tense.
"Are you nervous now that you will be getting someone's else blessing?" Miach told Alina. It was then that Alina understood that this was the way gods in here gave a blessing. She would've liked that Ainz also gave his blessing this way.
She relaxed as she thought of other things Like her god Ainz.
"Mhm, It's fine now," Alina said as she understood that it was not because Miach wanted to touch her but it was something that occurred every time a god gave his blessing. She wondered why Ainz didn't do it like that.
The blessing she was thinking. Was just Ainz in the new world, placing his hand on the heads of the children in the new world. It was a thing he made after he was recognized as a god because of a certain girl. He also made mass ceremonies just to pose as a god and give blessings every twice a year. It was something he had to do because the new world already looked at him like a god and Demiurge also said it was his plan but he didn't know anything. But that is a story for another time
After feeling that Alina had already relaxed he brought out a long needle and pricked his finger. He dropped a drop of blood in her skin and began to write something. After a while, His emblem was engraved on her back.
"!?" What Miach saw left him in shock, he tried opening his mouth and moving his body but all of that didn't work, he couldn't move even if he wanted to. What was written in the girl's back would've scared, fascinated, and excited every god of Orario.

'Eh, What!? No, how!? No, Why!? No... Argh what, why, how. What in the world is this!? How can a person get this much magic, skills, and abilities? And why would he send me someone this valuable? She is level seven, so she is at least as strong as ottar. What did she make to get this many things?' Why's, How's, And what's were going in Miach's head as he looked over her status. Was he going to become a pillar in Orario?
'It's gonna be troublesome now, A lot of gods will turn their attention to me, some will do their utmost to destroy my little familia. Some other gods will try to take her away from me, especially her.' Miach was worried about how would other gods react.
Finally able to move and speak he asked.
"Are you one of the strongest members in your Familia?" After hearing the question Alina just tilted her head cutely as she sank in thought.
'what is a Familia? The way he said member it must mean a group or at least close right. So he considers me a member of Nazarick? So the question could be translated to "are you one of the strongest members in Nazarick? How can I be one of the strongest when there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people, monsters, pets, zombies, and other things stronger than me. ' She thought
"Hahaha, are you kidding, how can I be one of the strongest?" She said as she laughed awkwardly. " All of the original members from there can be considered monsters. I could be easily killed by almost any of them if they wanted."
"Ah, Ok." That's all that Miach said and nodded as if there was nothing wrong, but his head was another matter. ' Huh, this doesn't make sense how can one be so strong that even level 7 would consider a monster.'
'Oh yeah, I had forgotten that there was a level nine here in Orario a long time ago. Maybe they have a lot of level 8s and 9s that's why she is saying that. yeah, that has to be ' He found a response to himself but it sounded as he was denying something.
"Sir Miach, Ainz-sama gave me this." Alina reached inside her skirt and took out what looked to be a normal pouch. She stretched her hand giving it to Miach. After he received it he checked inside and he found that his whole hands entered the pouch. Automatically a bunch of information entered his head to what was inside and how to use it. He made a grabbing gesture and took out a pile of gold and jewels.
"Ainz-sama said that half of this will be your first payment while the other half will be used to get the materials needed for the potions. Also, I am new here in this city so Ainz-sama said that I asked you or your partner to escort me." Miach was shocked after seeing the Item she previously gave him. He was preoccupied with it that he didn't hear what she said.
Creak
A door opening was heard. Alina turned to look at who it was. She saw that it was an animal person, the type that was on one of Demiurge's farms. she looked like a dog person, she had long brown hair, purple eyes, dog ears, and a tail.
How did she know Demiurge had people like this you might ask. At first, she was a queen but after a certain invasion that happened, her kingdom was in ruins so she went to find help with other kingdoms when she heard that a certain kingdom gave help and in return, you would be its vassal. She had no other choice but to accept it. After some time she and other persons were given a proposal by Demiurge asking for them (well more like commanding them) to help him in a certain project. All the ones gathered were a bit famous because of the talent they had. Demiurge lead them to one of his "farms" where they saw the personification of you will want to die but never will. She and some other queen became friends after some time working together. but she was separated as Ainz once said he needed an alchemist for something, So Demiurge gave her to Ainz. From that day on she became a fanatic who loved Ainz as he rescued her from hell. But it seemed like her friend was still working with the fiend.
"Miach-sama what are you doing with this woman, Why doesn't she have her blouse on!?" As soon as the girl saw her without a blouse she began shouting her god. It seemed as if she was jealous.
"Ah, Ah?" Miach lifted his head and looked confused.
"This time you went as far as bringing a woman while I was gone. Why are you like this?" It looked like the dog girl was jealous and was also ready to burst into tears.
"Ah, It's not like that, Naaza. She is the girl that Ainz brought." Miach immediately said as he wanted to calm down the raging girl.
"Why was she without a blouse then? And who is Ainz?"
"He is the god that came yesterday night remember."
"Yeah, I remember, He never said his name right, or did he? still what was she doing without a blouse!?"
"I was converting her to our familia. Oh yeah, I never finished did I? Naaza, pass me a piece of paper for me to write her status. Also here is our first pay. Get ready as we will be escorting her today through Orario. We also need to get some materials needed for the potions and to take her to register. All Orario will know that we have a level-seven alchemist."
"A level what!? What did you say Miach-sama?" Naaza asked as it looked like she didn't hear good.
"A level-seven," Miach repeated what he had already said.
"Huh, Why... why did he give us a level seven alchemist. Does he want to show off that his Familia is superior? If not why did he give a high-level adventurer easily like that?"
"Oi, I'm here. Please don't talk as if Ainz-sama has bad intentions for you. You are lucky one of his most loyal kids, My Superior, Didn't hear you or else you would wish you could die. So please avoid that kind of comment."
Miach and Naaza got goosebumps when she gave the warning. Especially when she said that naaza would wish she could die as it sounded serious.
"Mhm" Naaza could just nod
"Ok then, let's begin by giving you a tour in Orario," Miach said as he wanted to lift the spirit and didn't want to stay in this room where there was an awkward atmosphere.
"Miach-Sama will you not finish updating her status, she can't go out without her blouse on."
After Miach heard that he grabbed the piece of paper and wrote what was on her back on the paper and gave it to Alina.
Alina grabbed the paper and placed it inside her infinite haversack.
-------------------------------
Ainz was at the construction place right now. He saw that the building was 20% finished. In four more days it looked like it would be finished.
'I have free time so maybe I can go and experiment with the magic stone right now. First I should message Pandora's actor to come here and take my role.'
After telling Pandora's actor to come here, he placed his divine ring, which could hide information about oneself, on his finger and teleported somewhere inside the dungeon.
Ainz teleported in what appeared the entrance of a tomb, waiting for him was a maid with a box in her hand which contained a ring with a symbol of Ainz Ooal Gown.
He picked up the ring and placed it in one of his empty fingers. He then gave thanks to the maid and teleported to the treasury.
He passed through mountains of gold and valuable treasures as he went on his way to find the exchange box or shredder as he called it.
When he reached his destination he sat in front of the Item and took out two infinite haversacks that contained magic stones and item drops from monsters.
He liked it here as this was more fun when killing monsters. Not like the previous world where he wouldn't get any drop items.
"Let's see how many gold coins will ten magic stones from the first floor give me." Ainz threw exactly ten magic stones in the exchange box but it didn't give him anything. So he threw another ten magic stones but it still didn't give him a single coin.
Frustrated he threw thirty magic stones and with those it would be fifty.
*Poom, Pop
A gold coin came out of the exchange box.
"It seems that it needs 50 magic stones from the first floor to get a gold coin. Now, Let's try from the second floor. "
Ainz began the process of checking how many magic stones it needed to get a gold coin. The magic stones that came from the lower floors needed less to get a coin.
After a while, Ainz finished checking how much magic stones it need to get a coin. He tried the magic stones from the first floor till the floor he was currently on.
As he had already finished his experiment, Ainz tossed all the magic stones inside the infinite haversacks to the shredder.
Ainz picked up the gold coins that came out from the shredder and put it all in his inventory. He finished his business here and now he was bored without knowing where to go and what to do.
So he decided to explore the lower floors. On the way, he picked up a permanent meat shield he had summoned some time ago. It was death knight-Kun.
"Let's go for another adventure, we will be exploring the lower floors," Ainz told the death knight
'Oouuu' a roar was all the death knight could let out.
------------
Somewhere in Orario
"Loki-sama, I would like a bit of your time" A small figure directed those words to a petite woman with red hair.
"What is it, Finn?" The petite figure responded as she looked at the pallum's serious face.
"We already told you what happened when we were in the dungeon when the outbreak occurred. But I would like to talk about the suspicious people we met there." Finn said as he began to remember what had happened this morning. "Do you remember what we told you about how they were extremely strong? They said that they came far away from here, but that is suspicious because we all know that outside of Orario it's difficult to gather excelia and level up. So that part of their story doesn't make sense. Also, they are far stronger than a level six. As even one of their healers smacked Bete to a pulp without even trying. And you know, she was supposed to be a healer. Also, I heard some rumors yesterday night. They said that their Familia went to register themselves yesterday in the afternoon and almost all of them were said to be over level 9. Also, this morning when we were out searching for potions. We heard another rumor."
Loki moved her head as she signaled Finn to hurry up and tell her of what he had heard.
"Well, they said that another group of people came by and they were also registered in that god's Familia. They also saw sir Ainz leading a girl to the blue pharmacy. He came out without her and after a while, Miach-sama came out with her.
"oh, So he gave away one of his members for Miach's pleasure." Loki joked
"No, you see this is the part where things get weird. Sir Miach went to register the girl and she turned out to be a level seven."
"So you are saying that it's true that their members are very high level and it's weird how he gave a high-level adventurer to Miach. "
"Yes but that's not all, It was said that Sir Ainz did not give any evidence supporting their levels. Also, Momon, the adventurer leading their group in their dungeon looked like he was trying to hide their level. As they tried to pretend they were tired at times. The whole expedition was a mystery, they are also a mystery, the dungeon outbreak is also a mystery."
"We have to be careful around them, Don't worry too much, in two weeks and a half there will be a denatus. I think a lot of gods will be interested in him and his kids so he will definitely be invited. That is the moment when I will strike. Right now don't do any reckless things." Loki said as her squinted eyes opened a bit and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "Miach is another interesting fellow I see." she murmured so low that even Finn couldn't hear.
