Everyone held their breath, waiting for Anzi to give instructions. Iri was also very curious about how Anzi would arrange things for her.
"First, Iri's residence will be on the ninth floor. No one is allowed to enter without my permission or Iri's own permission!" As soon as Anzi finished speaking, Albedo and Shalltear looked despairing.
Iri knew this was specifically aimed at those two perverts, and for that, Iri was very grateful to Anzi. At least… she still had a place where she could rest properly.
"Secondly, let Iri study with you. You can arrange the time, but I don't want to see today's farce again." Anzi continued, then looked at Albedo and Shalltear. The two of them instinctively shrunk their bodies, clearly realizing this was again aimed at them.
Iri was naturally happy to hear this. Her body could already move freely. If she didn't have to deal with those two perverts every day, she would have long gone to level up with the Guardians. After all, being level 1 was too disheartening.
"Are there any other questions?" Anzi asked loudly. The Guardians certainly had nothing to say; everything had been made clear. At this moment, Iri suddenly remembered something.
"Anzi, can Qiya Lei Onee-san come and take care of me?" Iri asked. At the mention of Qiya Lei's name, Sebas, the 'charming' old man standing by the door on standby, seemed to shiver. Iri naturally noticed this small movement. Don't worry, I won't do anything to your lover.
"Hmm? My daughter, Elizabeth, why would you make such a request? Wouldn't Pestonia or You Li be better suited to care for you?" Anzi countered.
"Anzi… I want to learn about human knowledge to better assist you," Iri explained.
Of course, this was just Iri's superficial reason. The main reason Iri wanted Qiya Lei to take care of her was that it would be easier to inquire about the current story progression from Qiya Lei.
If Pestonia Onee-san or You Li Onee-san were to take care of her, it wouldn't be impossible to ask them, but one of them was practically born in Nazarick and had never been outside… asking those things would definitely raise suspicion. So, it would be more convenient to have someone like Qiya Lei, a human with no schemes, take care of her.
"As expected of Her Highness Elizabeth, who inherited the wisdom of Ainz-sama. Has she already perceived Ainz-sama's intentions?" Before Anzi could speak, Xiao Di flattered him first.
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
Anzi and Iri both let out two different exclamations in their hearts, both equally due to being dumbfounded.
What is Xiao Di saying?! What intentions does Anzi have? I haven't perceived anything at all! Iri was utterly bewildered.
"As expected of Demiurge, you've seen through it again," Anzi said.
No, no~ Anzi absolutely didn't think that way. Anzi must be as bewildered as I am, thought Iri, who knew Anzi inside and out.
"No, this subordinate has only seen through a tiny bit of the surface. Compared to the far-sighted Ainz-sama, I am still far behind. When Ainz-sama created Her Highness Elizabeth, he had already considered the future plans. I can never catch up to such a long-term vision."
Xiao Di continued to flatter, and the other Guardians, like Iri, were bewildered, but since Xiao Di said so, then it must be true!
Thus, the other Guardians also showed admiring gazes, especially Albedo and Shalltear, looking at Iri with an expression of 'look how amazing our child is.'
Uh… this is bad. I thought I could handle this easily since I'd read the script, but I completely overlooked the changes that would occur when a character like myself, who wasn't originally in the script, was suddenly inserted. Plus, with Xiao Di's wild imagination, it would be terrible if I were exposed now! Iri was a little worried. From now on, she could only take it one step at a time.
That day, Iri finally got her own exclusive room and no longer had to be Shalltear and Albedo's dress-up doll!
Iri happily followed Qiya Lei to her room, then pushed the door open and looked inside… and immediately deflated. It wasn't that the room was bad; in fact, it was quite luxurious, exactly the kind of room only a princess could have in other novels.
Various glittering golden furniture, a wide and large bed… it could only be described as extravagant. However, the main reason Iri deflated was… there were four other maids standing in her room.
Uh… didn't I say only Qiya Lei was to take care of me? What's with these four? Iri was a little displeased, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Her Highness Elizabeth!" As soon as they saw Iri enter, the four maids immediately bowed to Iri.
"Um… didn't I say only Qiya Lei Onee-san should take care of me?" Iri asked.
"Ainz-sama said for us to come and take care of your daily life together. We originally took turns caring for Ainz-sama," said the leading blonde maid.
"But…" Iri wanted to continue speaking, but as soon as she saw the four maids' pitiful expressions, as if Iri disliked them, Iri immediately caved. She somewhat understood Anzi's feelings.
And these few were originally Anzi's caretakers. It looked like Anzi used an excuse to send them over here!
"Then I'll trouble you all." Iri could only honestly accept it. After all, Iri had noticed that she had said she wanted Qiya Lei to take care of her, but she hadn't said *only* Qiya Lei. This was also her oversight.
"No, it is our honor to be able to serve Her Highness Elizabeth!" The blonde maid lowered her head and said, and the other three maids behind her also lowered their heads, with expressions of gratitude…
There was no other way; after all, their original settings were like this, so she could only accept it. It could also be considered helping Anzi alleviate some worries.
Iri didn't say anything. She had played "hide-and-seek" with those two perverts in Nazarick all day, and being treated like that, she was indeed a bit tired. Of course, the tiredness wasn't physical but mental. Thanks to this body, even though she had indeed run to many places today, she felt no fatigue whatsoever.
"Her Highness Elizabeth, do you wish to rest?" Qiya Lei asked.
"Yes… Qiya Lei Onee-san, you should also go rest. You don't need to stay with me," Iri said. After all, there would be plenty of time in the future. Qiya Lei was now her exclusive maid, and she could ask her any questions at any time, so there was no rush now.
"Ah… calling me… Onee-san… I… I'm not worthy…" Qiya Lei replied, her face slightly red.
"Isn't Qiya Lei Onee-san older than me? It's only right to call you Onee-san," Iri replied. Indeed, in terms of both physical and mental age, Qiya Lei was older than her, so calling her Onee-san was perfectly acceptable. Moreover, Qiya Lei was the only normal human in all of Nazarick, and Iri, being human herself, naturally felt a sense of closeness to Qiya Lei. The key was that Qiya Lei also had the 'charming' old man Sebas behind her, and gaining Qiya Lei's favor would have many benefits.
"Um… then I'll go out first." Qiya Lei, blushing, said nothing else and left.
"…" The other maids still in the room looked at Qiya Lei with strange expressions. Iri also noticed this.
"Sisters, I'm going to rest. You can also go back and rest," Iri naturally didn't forget them.
"Ah… Her Highness Elizabeth! We don't need to rest. We have treasures bestowed by Ainz-sama, and we can take care of Her Highness Elizabeth anytime, anywhere. We will not leave," the leading blonde maid also said, blushing.
Sharp-eyed Iri immediately saw that they all wore rings on their fingers… those must be the rings of vitality Anzi gave them!
Then she saw the other three maid sisters behind the blonde maid holding several different styles of pajamas… Iri instantly felt drained…
Anzi, you tricked me!!
