“Then… if you are to be in charge of the orphanage, you will need the help of capable people. If you feel anyone in Nazarick is up to the task, you may pick as you see fit. Naturally, people who are already busy are exempt from selection…Do you have anyone in mind?”
Yuri blinked for a moment, unable to comprehend her Master’s intentions. Had the Supreme One’s peerless instinct and intellect seen through her confusion?
Yuri decided that she would need to clarify, even if it could be taken as disrespect. Just as Yuri was about to speak, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind.
“Does, does that mean I may pick people who are in confinement?”
“Of course. If need be, they can even be freed from confinement.”
In other words, the two of them were fine. Yuri struggled to resist the urge to smile and maintained a poker face while bowing respectfully to her Master.
“I understand, my Supreme Lord!”
As she realized the great mistake she had made, Yuri made a mental note:
— The Master before me is as kind as Yamaiko-sama.
As he watched Yuri leave, overflowing with passion, Ainz spoke to the people in the corner of the room.
“Now then, you may dismiss the spell.”
“Yes, Master. My apologies.”
The forms of two of the Battle Maids revealed themselves.
They were Narberal Gamma and Lupusregina Beta.
“We are deeply grateful to you for bestowing an important task upon our sister Yuri.”
Ainz looked back to Lupusregina, who had spoken in behalf of the two of them.
“…I had already considered having Yuri handle the management of the orphanage. It was no trouble at all to go along with your suggestion. Then, do either of you have any other requests?”
“No, Master.”
While he could be said to be studying Lupusregina’s expression, Ainz was not good at reading the thoughts of others. All he saw was the same earnest face Lupusregina always had, the girl who had earnestly pleaded with him to give her elder sister work to do.
“Hm~” Ainz leaned back in his chair. “…Then, if anything happens or if you notice anything, notify me immediately.”
After hearing their answer, Ainz dismissed the two of them.
He watched the two of them leave, and then Ainz looked at the regular maid Decrement, and spoke as though he was seeking her approval.
“It is a good thing for sisters to get along. Indeed… it is a beautiful thing.”

After being released from a hellish existence, she is now immersed in bliss, and thus she always has a smile on her face. Her greatest difficulty now comes from the fact that she lived a long time being subservient and soft-spoken, and she finds it hard to interact with others. Her little sister still weighs on her mind, but when she recalls her, bad memories come back with them one after the other. Thus, she tries her best not to think of her.
