Iri's mood was quite complicated at this moment, seeing the members of the Four Strategists Squad, along with two little lolis, all looking at her with quite surprised eyes.
Shalltear and the others must be meeting her for the first time!
Originally, they should have met in the arena in the original work, but now that Iri had changed the storyline, Shalltear had no part to play there.
So they must be very curious about the pervert who suddenly clung to Iri, hugging her and rubbing her face against her!
Iri didn't want to call her either, but there was no other way!
Before Ainz went to the Dwarf Kingdom, as punishment for her previous "rebellion," Shalltear was assigned to manage Nazarick's teleportation gates.
Originally, Iri had asked You Li to convey her message, which was to have Shalltear open a teleportation gate to Karn Village at this time.
After all, Iri had never been to Karn Village, and she couldn't use a scroll to teleport directly, so she could only rely on the teleportation gate.
Unexpectedly, this pervert herself left her post and rushed out, and in front of so many people, Iri still had to play the role of a naturally well-behaved girl, so she couldn't get angry at Shalltear.
"Little Yi-chan!" Shalltear completely ignored the strange looks of the Four Strategists Squad members and kept rubbing against Iri.
"Shalltear Mama, please restrain yourself, it wouldn't be good to mess up Ainz Papa's plans…" Iri could only resort to her trump card, speaking to Shalltear in as low a voice as possible, hoping that the Four Strategists couldn't hear her from this distance!
"Oh! Oh! Ainz-sama!" Shalltear immediately panicked upon hearing this, letting go of Iri as if she had been electrocuted.
"Uh… let me introduce her, this is my mother, Shalltear Bloodfallen." Iri then awkwardly introduced Shalltear to the Four Strategists.
"…" Shalltear glanced at the Four Strategists, then turned her head away, looking indifferent, clearly showing an attitude of not wanting to bother with them.
"Shalltear Mama… your attitude!" Iri could only patiently remind her again in a low voice, although she knew Shalltear looked down on humans, she should at least give her daughter some face, right?
"Hello everyone! I'm Little Yi-chan's mother, Shalltear." Shalltear then greeted them unhappily.
"Little Yi-chan!" Imina looked embarrassed, probably not expecting a mother to call her daughter that, especially a daughter who was already so grown up!
"So it's Iri-meimei's mother, I thought it was Iri-meimei's older sister, Miss Shalltear looks so young." Hellank also had a subtle expression, then quickly said this flattering pleasantry.
"Older sister!! I am Little Yi-chan's mother! Not her older sister!!" Shalltear immediately became furious.
This scared Hellank… To be fair, just from her appearance, Shalltear didn't really look like a mother, and flattering her youth actually angered her?
He had put his foot in his mouth, and the key was that Miss Shalltear, who looked remarkably like Iri-meimei, was not someone he could afford to offend!
Iri was also quite speechless, although Iri immediately knew why Shalltear was offended by Hellank's flattery; after all, if she were an older sister, she couldn't be Ainz Papa's legal wife or concubine.
However, for now, it was better to appease Shalltear and have her open the teleportation gate!
Afterward, under Iri's various cute and charming offensives, it was almost an hour later before Shalltear opened the teleportation gate.
It was exhausting, mainly mentally; after passing through the teleportation gate, Iri finally breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling that dealing with Shalltear was much harder than dealing with the Blood Emperor.
"So amazing! This magic is so amazing! Big sister, big sister, can you teach this magic to Arshe-oneesan?" Arshe's younger sisters, Urelika and Kutilika, ran over immediately after passing through the teleportation gate, grabbing Iri's hands, one on each side, and asking excitedly.
"Uh… sorry, Urelika-meimei, Kutilika-meimei, I don't know this magic either." Iri could only answer honestly.
Iri understood very well why Arshe's sisters wanted Arshe to learn this; Miss Arshe was often not at home to pay off debts, so if she knew teleportation gates, wouldn't she be able to come back and be with them anytime?
"Urelika! Kutilika! Stop messing around." Arshe and the others also came through the teleportation gate.
"Indeed! It would certainly be very convenient if Arshe or Iri-meimei knew this." Hellank added.
"I'm sorry I don't know how to use teleportation gates!" Iri immediately became displeased and retorted unhappily.
Iri was very sensitive about her inability to use magic, and Hellank's words were like stepping on a cat's tail.
"Ah, ah! Iri-meimei! I didn't mean that!" Hellank could only apologize to Iri.
Although they came through the teleportation gate, the location was outside the main gate of Karn Village; according to Shalltear, Karn Village had anti-teleportation measures.
Lupusregina was not in the village, so she couldn't deactivate it, which meant the teleportation gate had to be opened outside the gate.
"Is this really Karn Village?" Uncle Roba looked at the wooden defensive walls, watchtowers, and the gate-like structure in front of him, barely believing that this was the same simple and hospitable Karn Village he had once visited.
"This is indeed Karn Village, but what's different from before is that it's now Karn Village under Nazarick's dominion." Iri replied, then went directly to bang on the gate.
"Who are you people!" Iri had just knocked on the gate twice when she heard someone ask her a question from above; the others also looked up and saw several Goblins on the watchtower behind the wall aiming their bows and arrows at them.
"Goblins! Battle ready!" Hellank instinctively shouted, and the other members of the Four Strategists immediately entered battle readiness; Uncle Roba even directly shielded Arshe's sisters behind him.
The Goblins on the watchtower also prepared for battle upon seeing this, ready to fire arrows at any moment.
"All of you, wait a moment! Everyone, don't be nervous, put down your weapons." Are you in charge here or am I?! Iri glared at Hellank and, patiently feigning the appearance of a well-behaved girl, said.
Hellank silently put down his weapon, but the Goblins on the watchtower were still holding their bows and arrows, ready.
Iri could also understand; last time Ainz Papa did an experiment and brought a bunch of Ogres and Giant Zombies to attack Karn Village, so being cautious was normal.
"I'm from Nazarick, here to visit Anri-oneesan." Iri said the key phrase, even mentioning Anri's name, fearing that the Goblins at the gate wouldn't know Nazarick.
"Are you acquaintances of the Big Sister?" The Goblin above asked again.
"No, but I know Anri-oneesan." Iri said.
The Goblin above was silent for a while after Iri's reply, seemingly discussing something; Iri became a bit impatient… Why did she have to depend on the whims of these Goblins to enter her own territory?
Lupusregina wasn't in the village; she should have gone back to Nazarick first and had Lupusregina lead the way.
"No! We can't let you in; you only know Anri-oneesan's name and want to enter the village with weapons? Unless you throw all your weapons outside the gate, we can't let you in." The Goblin on the watchtower shouted.
The members of the Four Strategists Squad exchanged glances, all thinking that, given Iri's personality, she would surely persuade everyone to put down their weapons and then enter to resolve the misunderstanding, so they all intended to put their weapons on the ground.
"You're rebelling against me! Not opening the door, huh!!"
However… unexpectedly, Iri-meimei, who usually wore a smile, suddenly changed her expression and, with lightning speed, kicked the large door directly.
With a bang!
The seemingly sturdy wooden gate was kicked open with a large hole by Iri-meimei…
