> “I see, understood.”

“But is it fine to be alone? Due to the relationship of this promotion test, I can understand that you do not want adventurers above Novice rank to participate.”

“Eh, I do not mind.”

“More importantly, is the only one participating in the promotion test myself?”

“Ah, yes. Are there any problems?”

“Eh. This will be easier as I cannot control the range of my magic. Then can I hear the details?”

Pluton looked daunted for an instant. As a warrior who worked with his friends before, it was not a good conversation.

“Then it will begin at 1700 today and ends at 0600 the next day. The loops required are three. The first will end at 2000 today, the second tomorrow at 0100, and the last at 0500. I believe it will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete one round. The places you basically need to be alerted about are basically the grave keeper’s building which you can use.”

“Since you said basically, there will be times that I have to improvise I assume.”

“Of course. I hope that you will act in a manner appropriate as an adventurer.”

Pluton raised an eyebrow, and looked at Momon like he was examining him.

“If numerous monsters with high difficulty appear, please prioritise information gathering. It would be easier to focus on retreating like this...If it is Momon-san, there‘s no need for such thoughts right?”

“Affirmative, there’s no such need. What sort of monsters would appear?”

Seeing that Momon’s mood did not shift, Pluton released a single breath of relief. Idle chatter that could reduce Momon’s evaluation of this city was something he intended to avoid. .

The reason for this was that the only people that had the calibre to stand face to face against that monstrously strong vampire, Camila, was Momon, who was sitting in front of him and his master, Ainz Ooal Gown. Nobody else had such similar capabilities. If both of them resided in neighboring countries, undoubtedly they would have to rush there to seek their assistance.

As luck would have it, this person Momon arrived in E-Rantel. They could not afford to lose such a talent.

“Normally...the promotion test would start off with intelligence gathering...Well, it does not matter now. Since it’s Momon-dono.”

Pluton reminisced of his past as he rearranged his thoughts.

“Mostly, you will encounter zombies and skeletons. After a skirmish, you would meet armed zombie warriors and also skeleton soldiers.”

Strangely, some soldiers died without their weapons, and when they raise as undead, they were equipped with different types of weapons. The most convincing argument that the weapons were the representation of their will, possibly due to the interference of magic as some surmissed.

“The others bodies would turn into Ghouls or high-tier Ghouls. On rare occasions, creatures immune to physical attacks, Ghost and Lace, have appeared before. Parasitic Maggot Mothers would lay their eggs there and produce Giant Deposit Flies. The unholy manifestation Voids will also appear there due to the congregation of death.”

“So it seems.”

Especially when Momon did not mention any particularly strong opponents that he needed to be wary of. Such a thing would not be problem, no, there was no problem in the first place.

Momon with his preparation completed, decided to leave after saying his goodbyes to Pluton.

“Ah yes, the mayor decided to form a friendship bond with you. It would be a casual meeting, you do not have to do anything. How about it?

“No, I have no interest in such matters.”

“...I’ve heard the place has quite a number of beauties there, from the biggest melons to the flattest plains—”

“I do not have any interest.”

What is he saying all this while? Momon stared at Pluton with a cold gaze.

“...I, I see. This is now the promotion test. What am I saying.”

Hahaha. Under Pluton’s dry laughter, Momon looked at him coldly as he stood up from his chair.

“If the conversation has ended, I would like to depart now.”

“I’ll be in your care then, Momon-kun.”

They lightly exchanged handshakes. Momon was still wearing his gauntlet. Then, he left the room.

As he looked at the departing figure, Pluton’s first plan was a failure, still the thought of disappointment disappeared instantly.

With such a casual invitation, yet Momon still rejected it. He has no interest in women is it?Pluton kept this important piece of information in his mind.

No, well, when it comes to men, the lower part of the body and the brain are two entirely different matter altogether, they would not get till that moment arrives.

If it’s those women who would fetch tens of pieces of gold, a few of those top class prostitutes.

Delivering them secretly to Momon was it. Pluton was contemplating such a move as he looked at Momon’s retreating figure. In truth, the plan to retain Momon was agreed to by the mayor.

Be it money, women or power, no matter what Momon needs, he shall receive it, as long as it is to keep him within this city.

“How about we intoxicate him, and push a few ladies at him.”

But those are prostitutes, Pluton lamented as he returned to his desk.
