"Ah... no, just chatting..." Ainz felt even more guilty; Ellie was definitely angry.
"Just chatting...? Then I'm relieved. I thought my unauthorized intrusion had disturbed Father's decision-making." Ellie looked up and showed her signature smile.
"Mm... just chatting, so... my daughter, relax... it's perfectly fine, just call... me Dad, like before." Ainz could only steel himself; this Ellie was too terrifying.
"Father... Although this isn't a formal occasion, the Guardians are all here, and the Pleiades sisters are also present. Such an impolite address is truly undignified and would affect Father's prestige. Moreover, I'm not that ignorant child I used to be... I can't keep acting like that." Upon hearing this, Ellie immediately switched into lecture mode, speaking very seriously.
"Uh... my daughter, Ellie, in your father's eyes, you will always be that adorable child, so there's no problem in being a little more spoiled with your father." Ainz said.
Hmm... how about showing such fatherly magnanimity to my daughter? Even though I was just suspecting my daughter earlier.
"Understood... Thank you, Father, for your great love, but in such an occasion... please allow me... to be a little reserved." After Ellie finished speaking, she blushed and fidgeted slightly.
Then, two thuds and a plop were heard from the side, like heavy objects falling.
Ainz glanced over and, sure enough... Albedo and Shalltear had directly fainted with expressions of pure bliss.
Uh... he could understand this, after all, Ellie's blushing, fidgeting appearance just now had left him a little stunned too.
Looking at her shy expression, she shouldn't... look angry, right?
"Cough... Mm, then, my daughter, returning to our previous topic, is there something you wanted to see me about?" In this situation, the best option was to ignore Albedo and Shalltear and see what Ellie actually wanted to say.
"Yes, Father, please allow me to report... about the things I encountered during these six hundred years." Ellie said earnestly.
Six hundred years? What is Ellie saying!!! Hearing Ellie's words, Ainz was instantly bewildered. What was going on?
"Granted, speak!" Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already startled by Ellie's words.
"Yes, Father... Just as you predicted, I fulfilled the task you entrusted to me without fail." Ellie continued.
What? What is this child saying?
Ainz was even more bewildered. What did this have to do with him? When did he ever give her a task? Ainz was utterly confused.
"Very good! As expected of my daughter, then you shall provide the details!" Although confused, Ainz still gracefully waved his hand and said to his daughter.
Ellie nodded and began chattering... Lying on her own big bed after a long time, Ellie looked at the familiar yet somewhat strange bed canopy and thought.
How long had it been since she returned to her room? She was utterly exhausted.
It was truly exhausting to make up stories about what she had done over the past six hundred years so seriously in the great hall.
Fortunately, Demiurge wasn't here! If Demiurge had been present, the story she concocted might not have passed so easily.
Indeed... almost everything she told Ainz was made up. How could she honestly recount her actions from those few hundred years? Wouldn't that be a direct spoiler? So, she could only make things up.
Ellie bounced up from her bed and stretched widely.
Sir Xia Na's time seal was really convenient. It felt like she had just taken a nap and returned in the blink of an eye.
It's a pity Sir Xia Na is no longer around. Well! This was her own choice. According to the original history, she wouldn't have lived past the Eight Greed Kings period.
Even if she hadn't chosen to end her own life then, I would have appeared and eliminated her. But while I think that, if it really came to it, I might not have been able to lay a hand on her.
"Can you help me call Bell and Chao Lu over? I need them for something, Sister Tuare." Ellie shook her head, driving these thoughts out of her mind, then said to Tuare, who had been guarding her room.
"Uh... I'll go right away." Tuare probably wasn't used to the suddenly grown-up Ellie still calling her sister, so she nodded with a subtle expression and left.
Alright! Now that I've returned safely, it's time to arrange the follow-up work.
After all, I worked so hard to maintain the original timeline, so the subsequent finishing touches still need to be done well.
While waiting for Bell and Chao Lu, there's nothing else to do... so, let's check the equipment I still have on hand!
After all, over these past few hundred years, in order to restore the timeline, I even lent out parts of my Champion Armor.
And while I was trapped in the time seal, who knows if that Platinum Dragon Lord stole any of my equipment? It's also my fault for saying the opposite when I scared him back then.
I told him he could use my equipment as he pleased, but just not to let me know.
If I found out that the Platinum Dragon Lord took my equipment, he'd be responsible for the consequences. Actually, I just didn't want that guy touching my equipment. Given the Platinum Dragon Lord's past trickery, I couldn't fully trust him, so checking was necessary.
So Ellie began rummaging through her spatial pocket. Mm... mm... everything's here!
Only the consumable items were almost completely gone. The scrolls and alchemy potions I had taken before were all used up.
The Final Battle Super Remodel I got from Pandora was also used.
Well! I didn't expect that the Demon God Turmoil back then was actually caused by that thing. Who would have thought at that time that I was the culprit behind the Demon God Turmoil!
Then, for other equipment, uh... the Champion Armor only had one gauntlet left; all other parts were scattered and given to Zesshi Zetsumei.
Well... the first time I officially dueled Zesshi Zetsumei, seeing the scattered Champion Armor parts on her, I really didn't realize at the time that all that equipment was what I had given her.
And I am also largely responsible for cultivating Zesshi Zetsumei into her current awkward personality. This could be considered reaping what I sowed!
When I first arrived in the Slane Theocracy, I don't know how much trouble I suffered from that guy... I never expected it was all my fault.
Uh... is this karma?
Then... mm, the mask imitating Evileye-loli was also given away.
Well! That thing was originally something I asked Pandora to replicate to hide my identity, but I never expected the replica would eventually become the real thing.
I didn't expect at the time that I would encounter the Evileye-loli, who wasn't yet a vampire, in that way.
