"Uh… do you two know each other, Feifei-daren?" Evil-Crushing Lolita Irubyue seemed very surprised, looking at Iri, who had directly thrown herself into her male god Fei Fei's arms, and asked, a little at a loss.
"Yes, Fei Fei is my big brother," Iri said.
That's right! It seemed all she had to do was try her best to get close to Crown Prince, and selling herself as cute maliciously didn't matter anymore; it was good enough if she could give him an impression of being harmless.
"Cough… hmm… yes, Elizabeth is like my younger sister," Crown Prince coughed twice, probably suppressing his chuunibyou spirit!
"Sis… sister, oh, if it's a sister, then it's fine." Irubyue seemed to let out a sigh of relief, knowing that she was Fei Fei's crazy fan. However, seeing how Evil-Crushing Lolita Irubyue would soften and be unable to move when she saw Fei Fei, Iri really wanted to bully her and let her know how "sinister" society was nowadays.
"That's right! It's fine to marry a younger sister too, isn't it, Feifei-daren? When I grow up…" Iri put on a shy and proud look, only saying half of her sentence, leaving the rest for Irubyue to imagine.
"Ah ah!! Siblings! Siblings cannot!" Irubyue immediately became anxious, waving her hands in a fluster. It was a pity Evil-Crushing Lolita was wearing a mask, otherwise her expression right now would definitely be very interesting.
"Hmm? Why can't siblings?" Iri tilted her head and retorted to Evil-Crushing Lolita Irubyue.
"Uh… that… this…" Irubyue was instantly speechless, not knowing how to answer Iri's question at all.
"Speak! Why can't siblings?" Iri deliberately continued to 'pressure' her, and then intentionally showed her, as if to demonstrate, by grabbing Crown Prince's arm and deliberately pressing Crown Prince's arm against her chest.
Hmph hmph! Although her figure was similar to Evil-Crushing Lolita's, her 'assets' were perfectly inherited from Albedo. This was truly real, not like Shalltear's, which was padded.
"That… no means no!! Let go of him!" Irubyue was stimulated beyond endurance by Iri.
After all, Iri had what she didn't, and this was also the part Irubyue herself had always been troubled by. In her eyes, this girl who inexplicably appeared had such a close relationship with Feifei-daren! And she was showing off her 'assets' in front of her, so of course she was going to explode.
"Hmm? Why is it impossible for me to be affectionate with my sister, Young Miss Irubyue?" Crown Prince also seemed not to understand why Irubyue would say that. Nabe and You Li, on the other hand, both had awkward expressions; they hadn't expected Iri to do something like that.
"Exactly! Why can't it be? I can get married when I grow up too, and when I grow up and get married, I will definitely invite Feifei-daren to witness it," Iri said.
"Hmm?" Irubyue was stunned.
"Ugh…" Crown Prince was also momentarily stunned, and it seemed as if he had been struck by something, clutching his chest. Looking at this reaction, could it be that Crown Prince, you also fell for it?! Hey, hey, hey! What about Nazarick's intelligence being no less than Xiao Di's? How could you fall for such a trick? Iri didn't even know how to properly complain.
"Is there anything strange? What's wrong with inviting Feifei-daren to witness my wedding when I grow up?" Iri could only bite the bullet and continue to act.
"Elizabeth! It's all because my thoughts as your big brother were too…" Hey, hey! Crown Prince, your true voice is coming out again! Iri still wanted to remind him to be careful.
"Feifei-daren! This is not the time for playing around, we still have a mission to do!" Nabe decisively spoke first to stop him from going berserk.
"Cough! Heh heh, indeed it's not time for playing around. Although I really want to continue accompanying Elizabeth, I currently have a mission, so I must excuse myself," Crown Prince said.
"Is that so? I'm so sorry, I've delayed Feifei-daren," Iri feigned a somewhat dejected look and released Crown Prince.
"Ugh… I'm sorry! Elizabeth, I'll definitely accompany you next time if I have time!" Crown Prince saw Iri's dejected expression, and once again seemed to be enduring something in a muffled voice, reluctantly leaving.
"Uh… Feifei-daren, is he leaving now?" Irubyue whispered, though her volume was very, very low.
Of course, Crown Prince wasn't the only one reluctant to leave; Evil-Crushing Lolita Irubyue was just as reluctant, though it wasn't because of Iri.
Seeing this, Iri also imitated Irubyue, and also feigned a reluctant look, watching Crown Prince leave until he was out of sight.
"It's truly a pity, big brother is very busy, he often doesn't have time to play with me," Iri said.
This was not a lie. Crown Prince Pandora had always been busy impersonating Fei Fei, and she simply didn't have time to find him to play. Today was considered her first meeting with Crown Prince, and it was indeed a bit of a pity. If she hadn't run into Irubyue, she could have properly communicated and bonded with Crown Prince.
"You… are you and Feifei-daren very close?" Irubyue turned her head, asking in a somewhat trembling voice.
"Yes, Feifei-daren has always taken good care of me since I was little," Iri replied with a naive and innocent look. This couldn't be considered a lie, right? After all, it was indeed "since she was little," because if she were to calculate her true age, she wasn't even one year old yet.
"You too…" Irubyue looked up at You Li, who was standing behind Iri with an awkward expression, and asked.
"Me? So-so," You Li said, her expression incredibly subtle. After all, she had directly faced the chuunibyou version of Crown Prince. Crown Prince's behavior was even considered a dark history by Ainz.
"That! I'm truly sorry about what happened just now! I'll do anything! It's just… it's just… please! Please, you must not speak ill of me in front of Feifei-daren!" Irubyue even said such words, using honorifics. This was something Iri hadn't expected at all. She hadn't expected Evil-Crushing Lolita to be so 'obsessed' with Ainz. She felt this point could be used.
"Anything?" Iri asked, revealing an incomparably bright smile.
"Anything! As long as I can do it," Irubyue nodded eagerly.
"Then… can you be my friend?" Iri asked with a smile.
"Hmm?" Under the mask, Irubyue must have been completely stunned, Iri thought.
…
After bidding farewell to Evil-Crushing Lolita Irubyue, Iri and You Li continued to stroll. After all those incidents, more gazes were directed at Iri.
Iri could clearly sense that her outfit alone was eye-catching enough, and now she was said to have such a close relationship with Feifei-daren, who was like a legend in E-Rantel. So, it was not difficult to understand why she was so much in the spotlight. Although this result was not what Iri herself wanted, she had to endure the consequences of her own actions.
"Ili, Young Miss… this… is this also Ainz's plan?" You Li asked in a low voice.
"Yes, this is merely one part of Ainz's great plan. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to fully comprehend it, only knowing a few superficial details. So, You Li, you mustn't 'randomly' tell others, okay?" Iri said mysteriously.
What kind of nonsense plan? It was all made up. Although it felt a bit bad to deceive You Li, this was the only way to effectively shut You Li up.
"As expected of Ili, Young Miss, truly as wise as Ainz," You Li said with an expression of adoration.
"Heh heh…" Iri merely gave an awkward laugh.
