"But, it's not impossible for the Assassination Insects to have been defeated, is it?" Sister Yuri still didn't quite understand.
"If someone could defeat even the Assassination Insects, why would they initially be blocked at the door by an ordinary maid who couldn't do anything, woof!" Pestonia continued to explain, glancing at the twin-tailed maid standing by, who immediately became shy.
"So! We can basically deduce it, woof!" Seeing Sister Yuri's puzzled expression, Pestonia continued.
"And the most crucial point is! Woof!" Pestonia paused for suspense, glancing at Sister Yuri.
Ellie was also very curious about this; she had already complained about the point Pestonia made earlier.
But she was wearing a mask that concealed her aura, so based on what happened just now, at most, they could only determine she was one of their own, right?
Yet Pestonia was able to directly see through her identity. Ellie was also very curious about this; it couldn't really be from smelling her, could it?
Could it be that Pestonia's dog head wasn't just for mischievous fun? Was her sense of smell also extraordinary?
Seeing Sister Yuri's serious expression, clearly wanting to know how Pestonia saw through Princess Elizabeth's identity, Pestonia slowly said,
"Actually, before Princess Elizabeth arrived, I had already received a message from the Undead Archmage, saying that Princess Elizabeth had entered the city in disguise, woof..."
Uh... To be honest, this result was a bit disappointing for Ellie. So Pestonia already knew!
"Ah! That's it? Why didn't you tell me! You made me, you made me!" Sister Yuri instantly became annoyed.
"Weren't you busy then? Just as I was about to explain to you, Princess Elizabeth had already arrived, so, woof!" Pestonia was clearly doing it on purpose! Intentionally making Sister Yuri look foolish!
"You actually tricked me! Pestonia!" Sister Yuri was very displeased.
"It's alright! Pestonia Onee-san didn't do it on purpose. Besides, isn't it nice that I got to see Sister Yuri's adorable side?" Ellie smiled and spoke up for Pestonia. After all, it wasn't a big deal, no need to be so serious.
"Cu... cute or whatever... I... I..." Sister Yuri became flustered as soon as she heard that word.
"Yes! I really didn't do it on purpose, woof!" Pestonia said. Hmm! Ellie silently thought to herself, 'I think you did it on purpose.'
"Pestonia? Did you call me? Eh? Ellie?" Arshe pushed the door open, looking tired, then froze when she saw who was casually drinking tea on the sofa.
"Long time no see, Arshe." Ellie greeted Arshe very naturally. Arshe, having collected herself, looked at Ellie somewhat at a loss, completely unsure of what to say.
"Arshe, Princess Elizabeth is the esteemed Princess of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom. Although I know you are Princess Elizabeth's friend, please be mindful of your wording in public in the future, woof!" Pestonia reminded Arshe.
"Ah, I apologize! Seeing Ellie, no, Princess Elizabeth here, I got a little carried away. I'm truly sorry." Arshe apologized very honestly.
"It's fine, it's fine. We're all on the same side, there's no need to be so formal. Outside, you can just put on an act. There are no outsiders now, so there's no need for honorifics; just be as you normally are. I came this time to visit E-Rantel and to see you all. I've already been to Karn Village, and Hellank said you moved here." Ellie said nonchalantly. Originally... putting on airs for outsiders was fine, but among themselves, there was no need for it.
"Yes, I heard from Lupusregina Beta, who takes care of us, that a school has been established here in E-Rantel, so I brought my sisters over."
Arshe truly thinks of her sisters in every way. It's difficult for her, bringing her sisters over. As a result, there was a school, but no teachers, so she had to do it herself.
"You've really worked hard, Arshe. Fortunately, you're here, otherwise, this school would truly be put on hold." This problem was indeed a bit tricky. Given such excellent conditions, it was frustrating that there were no teachers.
"Regarding this, we really should thank Arshe." Pestonia also thanked Arshe.
"No, that... I should be the one saying thank you. Not only have you taken in me and my family... you've also given me work." Arshe replied, somewhat moved.
Even so, they couldn't just dump all the problems on Arshe. When Arshe came in just now, she looked very tired. Since Ellie knew about this problem, she had to find a way to solve it. What should she do?
"Sister, sister" Suddenly, two more adorable figures burst in. Without looking, Ellie knew from their voices that it was Arshe's younger sisters, Kutilika and Urelika.
Ellie immediately pushed the problem of how to solve the teacher shortage to the back of her mind. Problems could wait!
"Oh, oh! If it isn't Kutilika and Urelika! Come over to me, I've brought you lots of delicious snacks!" Ellie instantly lost her composure. Remembering her original purpose, Ellie immediately took out her spatial bag and dumped out all the snacks she had previously gotten from Dark Scripture Jeros, piling them up as high as a small mountain.
"So Princess Elizabeth likes these kinds of things? As expected of the direct daughter of Albedo and Shalltear." Pestonia whispered.
"Pestonia Onee-san? Did you say something just now?" Ellie wasn't paying attention to Pestonia; she just heard Pestonia seem to call her name.
"Nothing at all, Princess Elizabeth, woof!" Pestonia replied very calmly.
