Who is now giggling and clumsily clapping her hands, eyes fixed on the skeleton's empty sockets. You then glance back at the redheaded woman, who seems to have restrained herself and is silently watching her master holding your niece. After a few more moments he lowers her, handing Meloka Wolbach back to her mother. Who takes her daughter eagerly, stepping back from the skeleton. But Meloka Wolbach clearly doesn't want to let him go yet, holding out her arms towards him.
“Baaaaaa!” she exclaims, suddenly waving both of her arms towards him. Causing the skeleton to grin, at least as far as you can tell. He chuckles to himself, then turns his focus back to Chilli.
“Now the, back to business. For your daughter's birth and life, we of the Great Tomb of Nazarick bring you three gifts. Naberal, if you would please.” Ainz says, gesturing to the black-haired woman who steps forward silently. She is holding the largest of the three rather extravagantly-engraved and gold-plated boxes, walking to just before Ainz and setting the box down. She opens it up without a word, revealing a soft, glowing light. Standing on your toes to peer in, you see what appear to be some sort of crystals packed into it. The skeleton man Ainz then bends down, grabbing one and lifting it up for you all to see.
“What are those?” your brother asks, you glancing his way to see his eyes are wide, looking at the crystal in real shock.
“These are Data Crystals, extremely rare loot from my homeworld. A magic item currently not replicable in this world.” Ainz says, holding the crystal out towards him. “These Data Crystals were harvested from monsters native to my people's world of YGGDRASIL. And by combining them with nearly any sort of item, one can create or customize virtually anything they can imagine.”
“Woah...” you say, shocked by the potential of these magic crystals before you. Looking back over to Chilli though, he seems more concerned than anything.
“This is.... I couldn't possibly...” your brother murmurs, raising his gaze to the skeleton's empty eye sockets. “These are relics from your world, I couldn't possibly accept them.”
“Now now, do not be so hasty, young Sage.” Ainz says, placing the crystal back into the box. “This gift, and only this gift of the three does come with a request. Neither I nor anyone else in the Great Tomb of Nazarick possesses the ability to recreate these crystals. Once our supply is gone, they will be gone forever unless a method for duplicating them is found first.”
