Shido was currently laying down on the wagon while looking at the sky. He was currently resting while Peter, Lukrut and the rest of the Sword of Darkness guard Nfirea who was collecting herbs.
Meanwhile, Ainz and Nabe had entered the forest to see the wise king of the forest leaving them here. Since Shido was with them, Nfirea and Peter didn't say much and continued with what they are doing. As for Shido, he wasn't really interested in a giant hamster.
On the Wagon Shido was talking with Ninya about something serious.
"I see. Then when did the nobles took away you're sister?" Shido said to Ninya.
What they were talking was about his sister that was abducted by the nobles. It wasn't really a secret since Ninya himself told them about his sister.
"It should be about a month now..." Ninya was sad when he said that.
He was worried about his sister since he didn't know what happened to her at the hands of the noble, but she hoped that she's alright. Ninya became an adventurer to become strong and find her sister, but right now, she still needs to train.
"...I see." Shido sighed internally.
Thinking of the time his sister were captured, she should already been sold to someone already, but he hoped that his sister wasn't sold yet since Shido know the fate of the girls that was solve by merchants and nobles.
Looking at Ninya once again, Shido had already know that he was actually a she and was just pretending to be a boy because of her friends from Sword of Darkness. She didn't want to get treated differently so she hide her true identity.
"I will go to the capital after this quest. I'll also help you find your sister there." Shido said while looking at the sky.
"Really?!" Ninya was shocked when she heard that Shido will go to the capital causing her to raise her voice.
"Can I come with you?" Ninya asked hopefully. She really wanted to come to the capital but her strength was weak and she couldn't just leave her friends, but with Shido, Ninya know it was possible.
Shido saw the hopeful gaze of Ninya but in the end, Shido still shook his head. "Sorry, but I can't take you with me. Also, your friends need you here, right?"
"...I see." Ninya disappointedly lowered her head hearing his reply.
"But, you don't need to worry since I will help to find your sister." Shido reassured her.
"Thank you." Although a bit disappointed, Ninya still smiled seeing that Shido would help her find her sister.
In the end she could only give up and train harder to become stronger so that she could finally get to the capital.
It should be already 10 minutes since Ainz and Nabe entered the forest. Nfirea had already finished collecting the herbs he needed and they were just waiting for Ainz and Nabe to return. Although they were quite worried about them, they know Ainz's strength is strong and Nabe is a great magic caster.
What they didn't know was that Shido was watching the two of them the moments they enter the forest through his observation haki. Ainz and Nabe didn't even realize that someone was peeking at them. Ainz was confident on his countering defensive barrier that could intercept others from spying on them. However, Shido's observation haki was higher level in addition to his conceal that Ainz's defensive barrier so it didn't get triggered.
"What are you doing Acheval-san?" Nfirea asked Shido who was laying on the wagon while making a circle with his index and thumb fingers and placed it in front of his eyes.
"Nothing, just watching the birds." Shido said casually and Nfirea nodded and thought that Shido was just resting.
Unbeknownst to him, Shido was actually observing Ainz and Nabe inside the forest. Currently, Ainz was facing a giant hamster with sharp claws and long scaled tail. And just as expected, the giant hamster was immediately defeated when Ainz used a skill on it making it prostrate in submission.
After subduing the hamster, a little dark elf appeared in front of them, smiling and talking to Ainz and Nabe. Ainz look casual about it while Nabe had a respectful look on her.
"That should be a floor guardian." Shido silently whispered while continuing to watch them.
However, Shido when Shido was observing them, the dark elf turned her head to his direction which caused Shido to deactivate his observation haki.
"She noticed?"
...
"What's wrong Aura?" Ainz said noticing Aura was looking somewhere.
"Nothing Ainz-sama, it might be just my imagination." Aura's gaze lingered at the direction of Shido before she smiled happily and replied to Aiz.
"Is that so." Ainz didn't ask her anymore instead he focused his attention on this giant hamster he named Hamsuke.
...
When Ainz and Nabe came out, Nfirea and the Sword of Darkness was stunned in their place when they saw the giant hamster that came out with them. Shido was also curious about this giant thing and thought that girls would like this thing.
Ainz explained to them that it was the wise king of them forest making them shock. They didn't expect Ainz to actually subdue it. The sword of darkness was speechless but they complemented the appearance and aura of the wise of the forest to be something unimaginable, wise, and may other things that made Ainz at loss for words.
Shido was the same as he couldn't see any characteristic that made thing hamster earn those praises. Shido, activated his scan ability and look at it's stats.
Name: Hamsuke
Level: 31
STR: D++
VIT: C
AGI: D+++
INT: C+
Shido didn't really see anything abnormal about this hamster's stats, but well, those rumors might made the fame of this hamster quite amazing.
Shido deactivated his scan ability before looking at Nabe that was beside it. Nabe also happen to look at him and their eyes with eyes each other. Even when Nabe was an ice cold beauty, she couldn't help but evade his gaze and reveal a slightly blushing face while her eyes glared fiercely at Shio.
Why is Nabe glaring at Shido?
It was because along the way, Shido was curious about his 'Steal' skill that he had recently gotten. Curious about what he would get, he tried to use it on Ainz if he could get a magic item but Lukrut patted Shido's shoulder heavily while laughing before walking towards Peter However, because of Lukrut's hit on Shido's shoulder, the trajectory of his target to switched on Nabe.
Shido was stunned by this however, he had already felt something soft like a fabric in his hands. Unconsciously, Shido opened his palms and stretch the fabric. He saw that it a pink and have a little frills on the side. Shido gulp and know that it was definitely a panty!
Nabe was walking normally, when she suddenly felt something was missing on her especially when she felt a little cold on her lower body. Then a sudden thought struck her mind and she couldn't help but close her thighs together. Her cheeks blushed and turned around with a sharp eyes, looking at the bastard that stole her underwear.
She didn't know how they did it without her noticing it but she would definitely kill the pervert that stole her panties.
When her eyes gazed past Shido, it stop and her eyes widen before it turned into a hateful glare. What Nabe saw was Shido stretching open her panties while looking at it in awe.
Shido also noticed Nabe was glaring at him so he hurriedly put away her panties and let out an awkward laugh earning more glare from Nabe.
However, Nabe couldn't do anything at the moment since Ainz would notice it and Nabe didn't want Ainz to see her embarrassing side. And she definitely didn't want Ainz to see her panties.
That's how Shido always gets a hateful glare at Nabe whenever they meet each other's eyes. And by the way, her panties was still with Shido since she didn't have the chance to get it back.
