Chapter 190 ~ Albedo

“Welcome back, Yuuji-sama.”

Having just returned to Nazarick from E-Rantel through the use of the 6th tier spell “Word of Recall”, Yuuji opened the door to his office only to be welcomed by Albedo, kneeling on the ground in a seiza position. 

She placed both hands on the floor, the tips of her fingers slightly touching each other, as she leaned in a bow, giving him a full view of her deep, milky white cleavage. 

“Would you like to have something to eat? Would you like to have a bath? Or perhaps, would you like to have… me?”

It was a dream come true for any man in the world… To be welcomed by such love and dedication, while subtly hinting at a tempting invitation, any man would fall right then and there. 

Even Yuuji felt his heart skip a beat. He didn’t expect to be welcomed as such by her so suddenly. 

And the way she’s accentuating her breasts right now while acting demure and innocent… it was as if she was begging him to take her right now in front of the door. 

If it was before, he would’ve glossed over her obvious advances. But now…

“They’re all tempting choices, indeed, Albedo. But as expected, I find the most tempting out of the three to be…”

Yuuji kneeled down before her, raised her head by her chin, and looked at her deep in the eyes as he caressed her lips with his thumb.

“...You.”

An apparent blush immediately dyed her cheeks. Her lips parted as she began to breathe heavily, saliva almost flowing down the side of her lips. And her eyes immediately turned into that of a carnivorous beast in heat. 

Her heart thumped loudly, pounding like the raging beating of a war drum. Her mind almost went blank as sparks of ecstasy, lust, and love fire off like fireworks on new year's day. 

“Y-Yuuji-sama…!”

This feeling… Was this it? Was this what Shalltear felt when her “destined one” touched her?!

Her wings trembled in both delight and excitement. But just before she could lunge at Yuuji and wrapped both her arms and legs around him, Yuuji let go of her chin and caressed her cheeks. 

“But unfortunately, I would have to pass on that until we become closer. For now, how about a nice dinner, Albedo?”

All the lust, desire, and excitement that fogged her mind disappeared when she saw his gentle, loving smile… And only one thing was left in her mind.

“Yes…”

Albedo could not remember what happened afterwards. All she recalled was the warm and loving, yet firm hold she felt on her hand, and the fragrant that made her feel safe, warm, and loved. 

The next thing she knew, she was already seated opposite of Yuuji with a circular table covered in pure white tablecloth in between them. A vase filled with a bouquet of flowers sat at the center, just tall enough to serve as the main decor of the table while still short enough for both Yuuji and Albedo to see each other clearly. 

A myriad of dishes were served by the maids, each having been specifically chosen by Albedo previously to be delicious, filling, but easy enough to eat and not disturb their conversation. 

She had also ordered a bottle of wine of the finest quality, which had been poured to both of the wine glasses before she realized. 

The massive dining hall, which had been purposefully emptied to only have their table to be at the center, an ensemble playing soft music at the edge of the room, and a group homunculus maids on stand by, slowly darkened as the massive chandelier of multi-colored gems right above them dimmed just enough for them to still see each other perfectly and set the mood. 

Yuuji picked up his glass of wine, swirled it gently, and took a sip as Albedo watched his every movement in a daze. 

He placed down his glass of wine back on the table, and looked towards Albedo with a soft smile.

“Thank you for preparing all of this, Albedo. I appreciate it.”

“Ufufufu~ It is nothing, Yuuji-sama. I am elated and honored to have the chance to dine alone with the greatest supreme being of Nazarick.”

Yuuji shook his head.

“Well, as this is an informal and private dinner with just the two of us, we should shed away any formality. Let’s talk more casually with each other.”

“...Yes. As you wish.”

There was a momentary look of surprise on her face. She did not expect that she would have to do away with her formality when conversing with a supreme being. 

But, a realization quickly came to her, and her lips bloomed into a smile. 

Was this… Yuuji-sama’s way of trying to close the distance between them? 

There had always been a vast distance between a Supreme Being and those created by them. Her, the floor guardians, and all the denizens of Nazarick; they were all created and meant to serve the supreme beings. 

In terms of intellect, wisdom, strength, and everything else, they could not wish to even compare to the Supreme Beings. 

But the distance between them did not stem solely from the difference in their abilities. 

There would always be a distance between a master and their servant. The title alone had separated them.

But now… To do away with this part of their very being, even if it was only for a moment, would mean that Yuuji wanted them to talk not as a Supreme Being and a Guardian overseer, but as two equal individuals.

And the vast distance seemed to suddenly disappear. 

At this moment they were simply two individuals trying to become closer with each other. 

“So, Albedo. There is something I wish to ask about you.”

“What would that be, Yuuji-sama?”

“What do you like to do during your free time? Do you perhaps have a hobby? While I do know some of your likes and dislikes from Tabula-san, I would like to know more about it directly from you.”

“A hobby…”

Albedo thought for a moment, trying to find an answer to the question that she, herself, seemed to have forgotten…

She had always dedicated all of her heart, body, and soul to Nazarick’s cause and her duties. And recently, she also hadn’t had much free time after Nazarick was put into high alert. 

She had to imagine herself having a free time to try and find something deep within her that she would like to do.

“I do not know if this would count as a hobby, as I have not been able to do it regularly. But things I love to do during my free time would be cleaning, sewing, and knitting… I find it relaxing to craft and create something of my likings.”

Yuuji chuckled and smiled softly. 

“I see. What lovely hobbies. I know of your meticulousness through the work you do. I bet you are amazing in those as well.”

“I have not done it in such a long time, so I would not know if I am as good as you say, Yuuji-sama.”

“Hm, then perhaps you should take it up again. While I do appreciate all of your efforts and dedication to your duties, the greatest wish that I, as well as Lelouch, Momonga, and Aika, have is for everyone within Nazarick to live happily after all. So, have a few hours to yourself everyday to do the things you love, and rest.”

“Yuuji-sama…”

Albedo felt her heart melt from the kind words and care Yuuji had shown her and her fellow denizens of Nazarick. 

To think he cared for their well being so much… What a wonderful master. 

“I understand… I shall relay your message to the others as well.”

“Mm. I will be counting on you.”

“Yes. Then… Yuuji-sama, if I may…”

Yuuji looked at her questioningly when Albedo clasped her hand and began fidget in her place. 

“What is it?”

“I… Love making little dolls and plushies as well. May I… make one in your image?”

His eyes widened slightly in surprise. But his lips quickly curled into a soft smile once again. 

“Of course. I would love that. May I see it as well when you’re done?”

“Yes~! Of course~! Thank you very much, Yuuji-sama~!”

Albedo became extremely excited. And already, numerous ideas about what kind of plushie she would make began flooding her mind. 

Of course, the obvious would be for her to make one plushie for every form Yuuji had; Angel, Demon, and both. Then, she would also like to make one of him in his armor and in casual clothing as well. 

Oh, she could also make a huge pillow with a life-sized picture of him! And the pose… it could be anything she wanted~!!! Then, even when she couldn’t meet him, she’d be able to hug the pillow and feel close to him!

Lost in her fantasy, Albedo did not realize that she was making all sorts of expressions before Yuuji. 

She was clearly long gone into her own world, but Yuuji did not do anything to take her out of it. 

He simply watched her act so adorably. 

Knowing her character and the things she had done in the anime, he could more or less tell what she was thinking. 

But it was fine. As long as it made her happy, he wouldn’t mind her having one, two… or however many she would make, hug pillows with his picture on it, even if it was embarrassing for him. 

The two continued to chat as they had their dinner. And when they were done, Yuuji rose from his seat and walked towards her. 

“Albedo.”

The succubus stood and turned towards him, her cheeks flushed as her heart continued to beat the same excited rhythm that started ever since they met earlier in the evening. 

“Thank you for the wonderful dinner and night. I truly appreciate it.”

“It is my honor and pleasure, Yuuji-sama.”

His lips curled into a smile. 

And in shock, a gasp escaped Albedo’s lips as he took her hand, brought it close to his lips, and kissed it.

“Y-Yuuji-sama?!”

“This is all I will do for tonight. But Albedo… I will look forward to the future of our relationship.”

Yuuji smiled, turned around, and vanished into thin air as he cast [Teleport], returning to his room within the Shining Golden Pavilion. 

While Albedo stood frozen, silent… 

Before a shrieking shout shook the very foundation of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

“ALRIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!”
