A/N: Yeesh, this is the longest one I've typed! Settle down and get some snacks, cause this is a wild one. I'll add pictures later, but for now just enjoy the story. Hopefully there aren't any typos.

We all take refuge in the Village Chief's house. It's surprising how much room it has.

Soldier: There they are

Soldier: There they are. It looks like they've surrounded us in equal intervals.

Ainz: Do you have some idea of who they are?

Gazef: Only the Slane Theocracy can send out this many magic casters at once. And they're under the Special Ops unit directly under the Head Priest. It must be 1 of the 6 Scriptures.

Ainz: And the men who attacked the village earlier?

Gazef: Theocracy soldiers, no doubt. Looked like they dressed in Imperial armor to throw us off.

Ainz: As I thought. Does this village hold some significant value?

Gazef: If you don't know why they are attacking, then I'm assuming they're not after you, which means one thing.

Ainz: It appears you are quite despised, Chief Warrior.

Gazef: Well, lucky me. Indeed, to think even the Slane Theocracy wants me dead.

Momo: But those creatures look like Archangel Flames. Why is a monster from Yggdrasil here?

Gazef: Sir Ainz, I would like to hire you. I'm sure that your sister is a package deal. Name your price and I'll make sure you get it.

Ainz: Sorry, but I have to decline.

Gazef: Then very well, and thanks again. This village owes you gratitude, as do I. I am grateful, which is why I hesitate to ask. I know this is a selfish request. Please grant these people your protection one more time. I have nothing to offer you now, but I beg you: please!

Ainz: There is no need for you to go that far, Gazef. I understand. I will be sure to protect the villagers. I will even put the name of Ainz Ooal Gown on the line.

Gazef: Then I will have nothing to worry about. Instead, I will focus on the task before me.

Ainz: Take this, I insist.
