Naruto Into the Undead Bone King

After listening to Kirabi's words, Momonga seemed a little panicked:

"No, I didn't want to take anything away from them. As a ruler, I failed. I just wanted to leave here and let them live a better life!"

"And without me, with their intelligence, their chances of surviving in this world would be higher!"

"Your Excellency Momonga, let me reiterate, don't get me wrong."

Kirabi always looked unhappy, but Momonga always seemed to have a hint of a smile.

"People will grow. Momonga, you are indeed a failure as a ruler now, but it does not mean that you will not be qualified for this job in the future."

"And didn't you yourself say that you should treat the guardians as children?"

"Child?" Momonga was surprised.

"Don't ask me, ask yourself." Kirabi spread his hands and turned away.

Momonga walked towards the guardians and looked at them quietly, lost in thought.

Not sure what to think about Momonga's silence, Kirabi, who had turned around, looked uneasy.

Momonga saw Albedo wearing a sad face at this time. No man could remain indifferent when seeing the peerless beauty showing such an expression.

Moreover, even the undead Momonga would feel guilty and anxious when the beloved baby created by his past companions made such an expression.

However, Momonga, who had never interacted with women in real society and didn't even have friends, couldn't possibly think of any comfort or thoughtful words.

Flustered inside, Momonga didn't know what to do for a moment and looked around, but fortunately, the guardians couldn't see what Momonga did.

Momonga was aimlessly wandering around the guardian. Suddenly, he remembered that when his companions quit the game one after another, their companions said: "I'll give it to you."

After that, he transferred his weapons and purchased paid props to Momonga and quit the game.

In order to wear these equipment and commemorate his friends who quit the game, Momonga also uses a large number of paid props.

Create golems that can wear weapons.

It was used in the past when making his own NPCs, so he still had the appearance information of the guild members on hand, but Momonga did not have the ability or special skills to create the same character as the members on his own.

Therefore, the purchased appearance data was forcibly put into the golem to create it.

The result is a distorted appearance with some fat and some short limbs, or a huge head, like a monster in a nightmare.

However, this uneven and ugly appearance exudes a strange atmosphere and gives people a strong sense of uneasiness.

Therefore, from the point of view of wanting to create it as the final guardian, Momonga must have missed the mark.

"How should I put it? It feels like the doll I made when I was a child is appearing in front of me. It's a little embarrassing..."

Besides being embarrassed, Momonga had another, stronger feeling.

That is loneliness.

When his companions quit the game one after another, Momonga created an undead avatar as a storage place for their equipment.

The guild members who had not quit at that time once asked Momonga why he wanted to create these immortal incarnations. This is his answer:

Maybe he wanted to treat them as the final guardians.

However, as the number of members gradually decreased, Momonga's motivation for creating an immortal incarnation was actually simply loneliness.

Because the number of friends we used to play games with is constantly decreasing.

In order to show that his companions had lived and died with him in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, and as compensation, he created these immortal incarnations.

The name of their gathering place: called Lingmiao

This is why we named it the Spirit Temple. It was originally called the Secret Room of the Treasure Hall.

But Momonga changed the name to commemorate those companions who left - or disappeared from the game YGGDRASIL, and turned it into a place where his companions sleep.

But even so, Momonga still wanted to believe in his heart.

The companions were also transported to an unknown different world. Maybe everyone is in a corner of this world...

At this time, Momonga suddenly noticed a certain phenomenon and spoke without thinking:

"They...actually started crying again, just like I did at that time."

The loneliness he felt just now disappeared in an instant. After Momonga hurriedly looked at Albedo, an even stronger sense of surprise hit Momonga.

Albedo's eyes were filled with crystal tears, and they would fall down if she blinked just a little.

Albedo suddenly knelt down in front of Momonga.

"...Lord Momonga. Stay till the end, compassionate Lord Momonga, our wise and loyal Supreme Being, please don't abandon us! I sincerely hope that you can be our monarch forever!"

For a moment, all the guardians knelt in front of Momonga.

There were choking sounds inside, repeated over and over...

"Please...please..." a hoarse whisper.

It sounded like a prayer, but also like a scream of sorrow and pain.

In Momonga's life up to now, he had never seen someone beg so hard without caring about himself.

Momonga didn't know what the guardians felt that made them do such a thing.

"Perhaps this is instinct, just like a child can naturally sense when his parents will abandon him."

Kirabi, who noticed Momonga's thoughts, said calmly.

"I didn't expect that for my own selfishness, I would make the guardians so excited." Momonga felt extremely melancholy in his heart.

This move made Momonga feel guilty, and he quickly helped Albedo and the other guardians who were kneeling on the ground.

"forgive me."

Have you never thought that you were abandoned by your past companions?

When I was alone in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, or when I felt disappointed every day because everyone was absent.

Not angry because of loneliness?

Knowing this bitterness, why can't I understand the mood of the guardians? Why do I let them feel this kind of pain?

After getting up, Albedo and the other guardians, who had already been crying for a long time, were still crying.

Momonga took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away Albedo's tears with clumsy movements. At the same time, he also wiped away the tears of the other guardians.

"........."

Although I wanted to apologize again—but I didn’t say it, finding inappropriate words.

Because the interpersonal relationship is too poor, I don't know how to comfort her to stop her tears.

However, they obeyed their orders and kept their five senses closed, so there was no need to worry about what they just thought about.

Momonga slowly left the guardian's surroundings, wanting to think carefully about what he wanted.

But at this moment, Albedo, who kept sobbing, asked Momonga who was at a loss:

"F-Sir Momonga, please make a promise with me and promise me not to abandon us and leave here!"

Momonga was completely stunned, he really didn't understand.

What kind of feelings do you have for yourself, so that you can still think about what you are doing when your five senses are closed?

Momonga just looked at Albedo, not daring to speak for a long time.

Slowly, he uttered: "...I'm sorry..."
