Is this okay?

As expected of the One and Only God, he really takes good care of himself.

Sink looked at Riku with a moved expression, as if he had understood the reasoning behind it, and was completely convinced and grateful to Riku.

“I understand, Lord One God. Sink will definitely not let you down.”

Holy crap! What do you know?!

When Riku heard Sink say that, his eyes widened, but he didn't show it. Instead, he nodded calmly, as if to say, "You understand."

Although he didn't understand what Sink actually understood.

At this moment, Riku's words shocked both Ainz and Nabe, especially Yakumo Yukari, who looked at Riku in disbelief.

"Why? You've already said so, why can't we add one more person? It's just a matter of a word for you..."

Yukari Yakumo looked at Riku with excitement, unable to understand what was going on, and also unable to understand why Leng Mo was not among them.

"Yes, it's a simple matter of a word for me. But I refuse!"

"Why!?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you ask yourself why you're here?"

Riku was speechless. Looking at the disoriented Yakumo Yukari, he realized that she was genuinely panicked.

They're still completely in the dark, which is quite pitiful.

However, considering what Sink will encounter later, Sink is even more pitiful.

Although Sink is one of their own, it doesn't matter as long as he's not human. Humans have suffered too much in the past, and Riku is more than willing to do something that would harm the forest spirits.

Since things had come to this, Riku didn't say anything more, turned around and disappeared with Shubi before everyone's eyes.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ainz said seriously to Yakumo Yukari, "Since things have come to this, there is nothing we can do. So we will take our leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ainz and Nabe retreated to the side as quickly as possible. Although they didn't know what the situation was, they knew that staying would definitely not do them any good.

Putting aside Sink, the forest elf, Ainz already felt a sense of crisis from the very first time he donned the One God costume.

My low-key exploration proved to be the right thing to do.

After Ainz and Nabe left, Yukari Yakumo stood there, filled with resentment. She felt like the whole world was against her, and the resentment in her heart made her bite her lip, feeling an unprecedented sense of helplessness.

At this moment, Sink widened his eyes and laughed happily.

"Sa! Now you should get out of the way!"

Her eyes gleamed with an unprecedented excitement.

Immediately! She'll be able to take down the enemy soon!

Although the One God instructed him not to harm Yakumo Yukari, the other one was different!

Without the protection of a single god, that man could act with impunity.

"..."

Hearing this, Yukari Yakumo was filled with resentment and stared intently at Sink, who did not budge an inch.

……

"Yukari Yakumo is having such a tough time..."

"They've already done enough."

"If Leng Mo weren't bound to Gensokyo, Yakumo Yukari probably wouldn't be so conflicted."

"makes sense."

……

Sink frowned at the silent Yakumo Yukari, a look of understanding crossing his face.

"Aren't you going to move aside? I get it, you're worried that this guy will harm your world after he dies, right?"

"..." Yakumo Yukari did not answer, but stared at Sink in front of her with resentment.

"But there's nothing we can do about it, isn't there? No matter how much you take care of that man, what you care about is always the world behind him. I know what you're thinking, because I feel the same way. But there's nothing we can do about it." Sink said gently and affectionately to Yakumo Yukari, wanting her to understand that no matter what she did, there was nothing she could do.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Leng Mo, who had been silent all along, ran towards the nearby forest with lightning speed.

"What are you doing!!"

Yakumo Yukari stared in shock, completely unprepared for Leng Mo's decision to flee at this crucial moment.

Sink seemed to understand something, and said with a smile, "How gentle. He knew he couldn't escape or stop you, so he made the choice for you."

"..." Upon hearing Sink's words, Yukari Yakumo felt an urge to kill him, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

"So, will you continue?" Sinke wasn't worried at all that Leng Mo would run away; instead, he calmly looked at Yakumo Yukari in front of him.

She could tell that Yukari Yakumo was very intelligent, intelligent enough to outmaneuver her tactically, but unfortunately, the difference in strength gave her a slight advantage.

"I will not give up!" Yakumo Yukari swallowed herself in a gap and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Sink was even happier, and his eyes gleamed.

"That's more interesting! Well then... let's begin the game of hide-and-seek!"

Sink grinned, raised his hand and pointed it towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, a huge magic circle enveloped the entire forest.

She was aware of everything the forest did.

She discovered that Yakumo Yukari had lost track of Leng Mo, and then she found Leng Mo crouching in the deepest part of the forest, making 'woo woo woo' sounds.

"Oh dear, are you devastated? But it's okay, you won't have to worry about anything for long."

As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished from her spot and teleported in Leng Mo's direction.

……

"Damn it, why isn't Leng Mo running away??"

"Where can we escape to? It's no use, we have no idea where is safe."

"Are we just going to give up like this? That doesn't make sense at all!"

"It's less about giving up and more about despair. No matter how hard we try now, it's useless..."

"Lady Murasaki... Gensokyo may not be able to withstand another weakening of the barrier..."

"No way! Are we doomed?!"

"Yabei, this is really terrible."

"Do you guys think it's possible that the guy on the other side is the one who's going to suffer?"

"Stop joking around!"

"..."

"That One God is insane, why didn't he protect Leng Mo!"

"No swearing!"

"No swearing? You must be from the other side!"

"Shuby's going to kill you!"

"Stop, stop, stop, there's no need for this, calm down."

"Sigh...maybe this is fate."

"Actually, I'm more concerned about Leng Mo's current situation. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, squatting on the ground making whimpering sounds. It's a strange sense of déjà vu. Why doesn't he look desperate at all? He even looks a bit dangerous?"

"I know, but I won't say."

"I won't tell you either."

"The ominous star is already flashing in the sky!"

"Sigh... *covers face*"

……

Meanwhile, Yukari Yakumo was anxiously searching for Leng Mo's location, but incredibly, she couldn't find him anywhere, as if he had been completely erased from the world without a single clue.

"What's going on?! Why can't I find it? Has it already ended?"

She couldn't believe that Leng Mo had been dealt with so quickly; even if he had, she should have received the news by now.

But now nothing is left, as if nothing had ever happened.

On the other side, Sink appeared on the grass not far from Leng Mo with a happy expression.

"Oh dear, you're not running anymore? I thought you'd run a bit more. But you're amazing, you've run so far in such a short time."

She stood on the grass, looking at Leng Mo who had his back to her, and heard him making whimpering sounds.

Is she crying?

That's true; after all, it's impossible not to cry in such a desperate situation.

Sinker happily stepped forward and walked towards Leng Mo. It was too easy to deal with an ordinary human.

Just as she was about to approach Leng Mo, a strange sense of oppression enveloped her.

Something is wrong!

What is this indescribable sense of crisis?

Why am I feeling a sense of crisis? Is it a trap?

Sinke suddenly stopped and looked at Leng Mo with curiosity, completely baffled as to what was going on.

Just then, Leng Mo, who had been wailing, suddenly stopped, and the forest fell into an eerie silence.

Sink felt an unprecedented tension in this quiet situation, and even a sense of fear arose within him.

It felt like encountering some untouchable monster in the forest.

It's just a human on the other side, it's okay.

She tried to comfort herself with this thought, but she was filled with trepidation.

Even if I can't beat them, I can summon stronger people to help me... That's right, there's nothing I need to be afraid of.

Thinking of this, Sink took a deep breath, suppressed his inner turmoil, and stepped forward.

then……

bang bang dong!

Leng Mo, lying on the ground, suddenly turned around. The expression on his face was neither despair nor grief, but a mad smile.

"Hahahaha! Finally—! Finally—!! We've been tricked!!"

The next second, Sink felt a chill run down her spine, as if a voice was telling her something.

You've alerted the gatekeepers, run!

……

"Holy crap! How can this guy still be laughing?"

"Finally fell for it? Masaka!!"

"Thump, thump! You've disturbed the gate!"

"Run! What are you standing there for! You won't have a chance to run if you do!"

"It's over, I'm completely stunned, I can't react at all."

"Miss Sin-K!"

……

In the blink of an eye, Leng Mo rushed towards Xin Ke with lightning speed, clenching his fists as he prepared to give Xin Ke a righteous slam!

Big-breasted elves deserve a righteous body slam!

"Yosh! Got it!!! You can't jump off now!! WRYYYYY——!!"

The sudden attack sent a shiver down Xin Ke's spine, especially when she saw Leng Mo's smug, drooling grin, which she found physically unacceptable.

They were even startled!

Imagine a man squatting in front of you suddenly standing up, drooling and grinning maliciously as he lunges at you with all his might.
