According to the screen, these people were still some distance away from the plains.
Draco did not want to expose the existence of Nazarick.
At least not yet.
He planned to set up a fake stronghold to confuse the public.
The location would be placed right on the plains.
This plain was a mandatory route for merchant caravans entering and leaving the Eastern Empire.
Draco still had quite a lot of equipment and items on hand; they would be perfect for trading.
Mainly, the materials used for decorating the Ninth Floor previously were top-tier, and the expenses were a bit high.
The gold coins in his system were already running low.
Furthermore, he needed materials to summon certain buildings, making trade with other nations inevitable.
Draco held a pen and paper, continuing to map out his future plans.
Unknowingly, night fell.
After a day of hard work, taking a bath was indeed the most comfortable thing.
Inside the luxurious bathroom.
Draco let out a refreshed sigh.
In the bath, besides Draco, Albedo and Kurumi were also present.
Kurumi seemed to have completely forgotten the lesson from earlier today, happily playing in the water and letting out bursts of silvery laughter.
Albedo, on the other hand, seemed like a different person now, quietly soaking in the water with a slightly flushed face.
After bathing and returning to the room, Albedo walked in quite openly.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Shuna and Shalltear.
As she closed the door, Albedo even winked at Shalltear outside.
"Dammit!! That bitch!"
"Ah! I'm so furious!"
Shalltear gnashed her teeth and stamped her feet.
"Shalltear, are you alright?" Shuna asked with concern.
Having calmed down, Shalltear looked at the calm Shuna and asked with a hint of confusion, "Aren't you angry?"
Shalltear didn't harbor any hostility toward this new member.
On the contrary, she quite liked her.
Though they had only spent a day or two together, Shalltear could see that Shuna and Albedo didn't get along very well.
Since that was the case, they were allies.
Facing Shalltear's counter-question, Shuna was even more bewildered.
"Why should I be angry?"
Looking at Shuna's innocent gaze, Shalltear seemed to understand a little.
"This is a battle over who exactly belongs in the position of Nazarick's Primary Consort."
"As the Master's future concubine, the position of Primary Consort must never be yielded to Albedo!"
Shalltear spoke with righteous indignation.
"Con... con... concubine!?"
Shuna's small face instantly turned beet red.
While the two were talking, they both seemed to hear indescribable sounds coming from inside the room.
"Dammit!"
Shalltear stamped her feet viciously again.
Shuna's head was spinning now; pure as a blank sheet of paper, she didn't know the meaning behind the sounds in the room.
However, Shuna felt her ears getting a bit hot.
Seeing Shuna like this, Shalltear said with some shock.
"You couldn't possibly..."
"Wh-what?"
A hint of mischief flashed in Shalltear's eyes.
Although she had never had a relationship with the opposite sex, she was already very experienced with the same sex.
"Little Shuna, how about Big Sister teaches you some things you don't usually know today?"
Saying this, Shalltear pulled the dazed Shuna into her own room.
The moonlight tonight is exceptionally beautiful... The next morning.
When Draco opened the door with Albedo.
They happened to run into the scene of Shuna and Shalltear leaving their room at the same time.
Draco and Shuna both blushed instantly.
The former blushed out of embarrassment, while the latter was due to having learned many incredible things last night.
Only Albedo and Shalltear remained calm and composed.
"Ahem!"
"Eh? Shuna, why are you coming out of Shalltear's room?"
"Ah, this... well, I... I'm going to prepare breakfast..."
With that, Shuna hurriedly fled the scene.
Looking at Shalltear, Draco asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"That's not important, Master. I wonder if you are free to come to my room tonight..."
Before she could finish, Albedo interrupted her directly.
"Hoho, Shalltear, whatever it is can be said during the day. Master is very busy at night and has no time to deal with you."
Albedo ruthlessly shot Shalltear down.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then forget it."
After saying that, Shalltear gave Draco a bow and then turned to leave.
She actually didn't bicker back, which left Albedo momentarily unresponsive. Could she have taken the wrong medicine today?
"Let us go as well."
"O-okay."
The atmosphere in the dining room was a bit subtle.
But Draco didn't pay it much mind; there were important things to do today.
The group arrived at the Sixth Floor's Arena. Everyone was there except for Cocytus.
Even Kurumi followed along to join the fun.
As Draco crushed the scroll, the light of the summoning magic circle lit up once more.
A young boy dressed in a white suit—er, a girl dressed like a boy—appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Sister!"
Mare cried out in surprise.
Aura Bella Fiora, Mare's twin sister.
Also of the Dark Elf race, she had short golden hair and long ears.
She had heterochromia opposite to Mare's, with her left eye blue and her right eye green.
Her settings described her as a girl with a boyish, lively, and extroverted personality, who also dressed like a boy.
Draco was delighted to see that he had randomly summoned Aura.
He needed to establish a stronghold next, and having Aura around would save a lot of effort.
Immediately after, Draco signed the summoning contract.
Consciousness instantly returned to Aura's eyes, and she knelt on one knee.
"Guardian of the Sixth Floor of Nazarick, Aura Bella Fiora, greets the supreme being."
