Iri was very nervous now; a sixth-tier recovery magic, Holy Healing… If she couldn't cast it, then all of Ainz's "glorious image" that he had painstakingly built up would be ruined by her!
Calm down, Iri… Even if you can't use it, Ainz should still have a way to gloss over it, right? Probably? Should he? Maybe… he does?
At this moment, Iri didn't know how much she missed Xiao Di.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the Dragon Maid sisters of Pleiades, Iri could only brace herself and go for it.
Iri, who had previously been indifferent about learning recovery magic, was now incredibly serious, feeling even more focused than when she first learned skills from Shalltear.
"Holy Healing!" Iri mustered all her strength and raised her hand towards Lupusregina, and just like before, a golden light enveloped Lupusregina's body.
It… it succeeded!
"As expected of Ainz, he immediately saw the problem with Princess Elizabeth," You Li said with an adoring expression.
"Yes, if Ainz hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought it was because of my own level," Iri smoothly continued You Li's words, while also feigning an incredibly worshipful gaze at Ainz, perfectly giving Ainz a chance to show off.
"My daughter, what father wouldn't understand his own daughter?" Ainz said with a touch of smugness.
"Mm! I love you the most, Papa." Iri then hugged him directly. These words weren't false; they were truly Iri's heartfelt feelings. Originally, Iri's favorite character was the adorable Ainz, but fortunately Solution Epsilon's words came true this time, otherwise Ainz would have truly lost face.
"Now that we know the problem, we just need to raise your level," Ainz said, catching Iri with one hand and letting her sit directly on his arm.
Oh, oh… It's a pity there's no camera or phone here, otherwise I'd really want to capture this moment as a souvenir! Iri thought to herself.
"Then once Princess Elizabeth raises her level, she can just cast any magic she wants!" Lupusregina said.
"Lupusregina is right, but… my daughter Iri, could you cast Holy Healing on Lupusregina one more time?" Ainz said to Iri, who was sitting on his arm, in his steady, deep voice.
"Eh? But Ainz, Holy Healing can only be used once a day, right? And Princess Elizabeth just expended all her MP, do you still want her to use it?" Lupusregina was curious.
Iri also found Ainz's request strange. Hadn't Lupusregina said this thing could only be used once a day? Why was he asking her to use it again?
"Don't mind it, it's just a small experiment," Ainz said.
Since Ainz said so, then there must be some purpose behind it. Ainz wasn't that foolish in this regard, Iri thought to herself.
"Okay, I'll use it again right away." So, Iri didn't hesitate and cast Holy Healing on Lupusregina once more.
As expected… Iri herself was startled by the result; it was still successfully cast, and the golden light once again enveloped Lupusregina's body.
"Princess Elizabeth is amazing! Holy Healing, which can only be cast once a day, was used twice?" Lupusregina looked surprised. This skill was taught by Lupusregina herself, so Lupusregina naturally knew the significance of casting this skill consecutively.
Iri also looked at Ainz incredulously. To ignore the usage limit, and since Holy Healing consumes all MP but can be used with just 1 MP, if there's no usage limit, wouldn't that be incredible?
As a healer, uh… as a healer… No way!! I don't want to be a healer!
"Heh heh, actually, I already noticed it when you were learning from Shalltear, Iri," Ainz said with a smile.
Uh… wait a minute!
After hearing Ainz say that, it really did seem to be the case.
During practice, she had used Pure Throwing Spear and Unclean Impact Shield, which originally had usage limits, many times. However, not only did Xia Jiu not notice such an important thing, even Iri herself didn't notice it.
Just now, Iri was indeed on the verge of blurting out how amazing Ainz was for noticing this.
But for something that should have been noticed long ago to still require Ainz to point it out, putting aside Xia Jiu who wasn't very bright to begin with, I am Ainz's daughter! The Princess of Nazarick! If I couldn't even notice this, wouldn't I be losing a lot of face?
No! I can't let Ainz show off like this.
"Hmm! I originally wanted to keep it a secret from Ainz, but I didn't expect him to find out. But Ainz has always been paying attention to me, I'm so happy." Iri took less than half a second to come up with a plan, so she said this, and also set a small trap for Ainz.
"Of course, after all, you are my daughter. As a father, how could I not pay attention?" Ainz said.
Good! He took the bait, Iri inwardly smirked.
"But… I didn't see Ainz come to watch me when I was learning with the Guardians. I thought Ainz had even stopped coming to see me because of Nazarick's livelihood," Iri continued, feigning a somewhat lonely expression.
"Actually, I know it all, Ainz is very busy for Nazarick, so I wanted to hide it from him first, planning to give him a surprise later, but I didn't expect I couldn't hide anything from Ainz. I'm just very curious, where did Ainz watch me practice? I didn't notice at all, as expected of Ainz!" Iri said flatteringly.
Hehe! Ainz, you actually came to peek at my practice, and you didn't even show your face. I thought you had forgotten about me!
But no matter what, peeking is always bad, right? So don't blame me for making you look like a foolish father in front of the Dragon Maid sisters of Pleiades, who dotes on his daughter but is too busy with work to spare time, so he can only peek from the side. Maybe you'll be even more popular with the Dragon Maid sisters!
"Cough… cough… Uh… In my spare time from work, I made time… Elizabeth, you must know that I am very busy, considering the future of Nazarick. Please forgive me for neglecting you, my daughter." Ainz seemed to waver, then said.
Indeed, as soon as Ainz uttered those words, the eyes of the Dragon Maid sisters of Pleiades lit up, showing immense gratitude, except for Shizu who inherently had no expression, unless…
"Ainz is so great that he even neglected Princess Elizabeth for our sake! Ainz! Please! Please…" You Li took the lead and knelt on one knee, too moved to speak.
Alright! This effect should be enough, right? What do you say, Ainz? Iri thought to herself, then looked at Ainz, and their gazes met.
