Chapter 35 – Rewards
...
(A/N Just a word of warning, I am sht at coming up with rewards, and I'm not going to elaborate on what each and every one does, so just read them and forget about them afterwards. They won't severely influence the plot anyway
And also, the hidden objectives are more like achievements rather than something extra. I forgot to mention it before, so here it is)

Red Dragon Emperor: So, how was it?
77th Director: It was soooo cooool. I got S+ for my hidden objective grade and got a ton of cool rewards!
Ainz: S+? I only got C
77th Director: Haha! C! Imagine not getting S+
Nightmare: I don't think anyone has gotten S+ before. What did it say for you?
77th Director: Oh, basically I killed one of the targets and their friends. I also let them pass on without regrets. Oh and it seems like I also helped All Might pass on without regrets for some reason. Then, it gave me like ten different conditions of saving people.
Witch of Betrayal: Was that flame you Hu Tao?
77th Director: Flame?
Witch of Betrayal: Yeah! I was going to kill him but then suddenly he erupted into flames. It felt familiar to yours. Did you help him?
77th Director: Um... I don't know
Witch of Betrayal: I almost died because of it!
77th Director: Wahh! Please don't kill me!
Witch of Betrayal: *sigh nevermind. Anyone know what strengthened mind and iron heart does?
77th Director: Same here! I also got it!
Ainz: I got it before. Basically, it allows you to stay true to yourself and stay calm in any situations. It is quite a useful passive ability.
77th Director: Ooooohhh cool. I can also say I am not the poorest member now! I got a whole 30000 points from this.
Red Dragon Emperor: 30000??!
Nightmare: She will probably waste it again
77th Director: I won't I promise
Nightmare: Why are you promising to me? It's for your own good...
Red Dragon Emperor: Hey what you waiting for? Tell me what happened!
77th Director: So basically...
She then told him everything major that happened.
Railgun: Killing children though...
King of Imanity: My morality could never... props to you guys
Ainz: Although I didn't personally kill one, it will probably leave a bad impression in my mind. Hu Tao, Kurumi, are you two still okay with it?
77th Director: I'm actually really good! I also think that killing them was a good thing since they passed on without regrets
Nightmare: I am also fine
Ainz: Mm, good. Also, I have a world invitation token for anyone who would like to come and visit. It can take 3 people. Although it will have to wait a while as I'm unable to accept anyone right now.
77th Director: No problem! I'll visit someday
Admin: Oh you're back?
Red Dragon Emperor: They've been back a while now...
Admin: Oh sorry, I had to do a surgery.
Witch of Betrayal: Surgery?
Admin: Yeah. Do you not know? Basically, I am a surgeon trained to help the supernatural that are injured. It's very important.
Witch of Betrayal: A valiant job
Admin: Yeah thanks
Railgun: How long were you there for?
Ainz: I would say around 7 to 8 months?
Railgun: Dammnn so yous are like 7-8 months older now.
Ainz: Mentally yes.
77th Director: I actually loved that trip. I learnt sooo much!
Witch of Betrayal: Same here Hu Tao. I surprisingly learnt a lot from the people there. This world thing is actually a very good opportunity
77th Director: Right? I loovveeddd it!
Nightmare: Are you sure you're just not really gassed right now since you are rich and got the best rewards?
77th Director: Uuhh w-what no. I whole-heartedly think that was a good trip.
Nightmare: Plus the fact that you got the most rewards...
77th Director: M-maybe...
...
Medea genuinely felt that trip was very informative and useful, not just for her abilities, but even her mentality changed.
She found out that such people existed out there, and their personalities and ideals even inspired her, the witch of betrayal.
After coming back and chatting a while, she soon realised that Ciel and Rimuru weren't where they were supposed to be.
It took her a few minutes to remember what happened months ago, for her.
Artoria was still eating as usual like nothing's wrong, but where was Ciel and Rimuru?
Shouldn't he be sleeping on the counter, and she in the kitchen.
She looked for them but couldn't find anyone.
It was only after a couple minutes did she finally see them riding the elevator down.
Rimuru first smiled at her then asked, "woah Medea. You're so excited you're almost shining!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! Welcome back by the way." Without waiting for a reply, both left her alone and walked into the café.
(As expected, they probably knew what happened. Oh well...)
Dismissing such thoughts, she was just glad to be back and planned to think about the rewards and the group chat tomorrow.
Then, night soon came and Medea finished tidying up.
She looked around the café before something suddenly appeared in her mind.
She found Rimuru just about to head up, and stopped him.
"Hey Rimuru?"
"What's up?"
"Could I... like add a decoration to this café?"
"Decoration?"
"Yeah... I wish to add a statue. It wouldn't take up too much space I promise." She quickly added.
Hearing this, he smiled and gestured for her to do as she wished.
Seeing this, she bowed down a little and thanked him, before elements gathered in her hands.
Then, from the bottom, shoes were made of earth. Then the legs, the torso, the arms the face, then the other arm pointing upwards with a fist.
His ever-so-confident smile was shining across his face.
Then, the earth it was made out of then vibrated, before a mirage of colours appeared, making it look like a real All Might, but smaller.
She looked around and decided to place it on a wall with a rack but nothing on it.
She took a couple steps back and admired her handiwork before looking at Rimuru, who was still smiling whilst looking between her and the statue.
"W-wait. It isn't like that I promise!" Feeling a wave of embarrassment, she felt her cheeks heat up.
"Don't worry Medea. I won't question it." With a knowing smile, he turned and left.
"WAIT!!!" She immediately chased after him, leaving only the emptiness of the café to itself.
And the statue still stood proud with a smile on its face.
...
Ciel didn't normally sleep.
She found it ineffective and boring. Plus she had to defend Rimuru against any attacker, or any idiotic attacker.
In truth, she knew that no one would even land a scratch of Rimuru but it was best to do this for her own peace of mind.
But ever since she was together with him for 7 months watching what happened in the other world, sleeping had become quite enjoyable for her.
During the time when literally nothing happened in that world, both Rimuru and Ciel went to sleep together and only woke up when something happened.
Anyway, she now slept soundly with Rimuru every night for the past week.
It used to be something unthinkable to do for her, but now she treats it as a necessity.
Normally though, she won't dream. It will just be for her, lying down, closing her eyes, activating every passive defence system possible, then waking up again the next day.
But not tonight.
For some reason, when she closed her eyes, and opened them again it wasn't her bed, but a throne, and she was for some reason sitting rather menacingly on it.
One of her arms were leaning against the throne and propping her head up. Her hair flowed naturally over her body and clothes.
(Huh?)
She knew this was a dream, since she... just knows.
If such a situation occurred, she would probably first use [Information Lord Akashic Records] and then figure something out from there, but for some reason she didn't want to this time.
(No spoilers just like husband said. Now what's going to happen? I can't wait...)
She sat there like that with her eyes closed for around half an hour, before the massive doors in front of her suddenly opened, and multiple figures walked in cautiously.
They were lead by a handsome and muscular man with grey eyes, black hair and sharp facial features. He wore very dark colours, and was very silent but had the most presence here out of everyone.
Behind him were a couple more people, but she didn't pay attention to that, but the first person.
(I must say, he's quite strong compared to everyone else in the party. I presume he is the leader?
And also, his shadow...)
Still with her eyes closed, she was able to see everything quite clearly in fact.
As she peered into his shadow, she found countless black and blue monsters waiting on a barren land.
(Impressive. If it was according to the cardinal world standards, the strongest ones there is that ant which would probably be an A tier creature. The others' strengths aren't that strong but they make them up in numbers.
They also can't die which is interesting. It seems like the leader is someone who fights by using subordinates and exhausting their enemies.)
She continued to analyse them, then one of them talked, but in a different language than Ciel predicted.
(Korean?)
"H-hey Jinwoo? Are you sure we can make it out? It's a red gate after all... and it branches from an A-rank gate..." Obviously everyone but the lead was terrified.
"It's fine. I'll deal with it." He then squinted his eyes at the person sitting in the throne.
From his viewpoint, he activated his eyes but to his surprise, no information showed up.
This alarmed him and he raised his guard before stopping and holding out an arm.
Then, following his silent orders everyone stopped moving. As the last one entered the room, the door behind them closed.
"It seems like she is the boss here." He talked to himself.
"Beru." Then, a large shadow ant crawled out from his shadow.
"My liege." It said in a crypted voice.
"Go test the waters."
"As you wish..."
