Osirus was called by his master to join him in the Morning Star inn. He didn't know why, but there was no harm going there. Of course, Chevalir offered him a ride… no, she imposed on him the ride on her Red Hare.
"I don't think that I'll ever get used to that horse" mumbled Osirus as he dismounted the creature.
"Looks like I've found a way to beat you" smirked Chevalir as she dismounted and dismissed the red horse.
"One day, I'll get used to it," said Osirus before entering the inn.
"You're here" said Ainz in his armor "That was faster than I expected"
"An adventurer gave me a ride" replied Osirus "Truth be told, I never saw a horse running at that speed"
"Interesting" said Ainz "I would like to meet this adventurer, I'm sure that his horse is just boosted by a skill"
"I'm not sure about the horse…" said Osirus "But the adventurer is a 'She' not a 'He'…"
"A woman, huh?" said Narberal with a dark look on her face "I would like to meet her too"
"Nabe, why do I feel like you want to kill her?" asked Osirus with a sweatdrop.
"I don't know what you are talking about" said Narberal before moving away.
"I'll have a talk with her later" sighed Ainz before looking at both Glarion and Demiurge "So, what did you intercepted"
"When I was searching for some rare herbs, I saw a convoy who had a problem" began the elf "When I asked them if they needed help, they looked at me and said that they will never trust an inhuman. At first, I didn't find it strange, but there was a strange smell coming from the carriage, the smell of a decomposing body. I'm pretty sure that they knew that I recognized the smell, so they tried to kill me"
"Let me guess, you killed them," said Osirus with a bored tone, but he noticed something "Wait a minute, Where are their bodies?"
"Somewhere…" said Glarion as he glanced at Demiurge who nodded.
"I took them" said the demon "I figured that they could be useful for some experiments"
"That aside, what else did you find?" asked Ainz.
"I think it would be better that I show you instead" said the elf before moving toward his laboratory with the others. When he arrived, he opened a wooden coffin, revealing a dead blonde girl.
"I recognize her" said Ainz "She was involved with the cemetery incident"
"I wanted to test a resurrection spell, but then I wanted to see if it was possible to bind her with a seal" explained the elf.
"I see" said Demiurge with a smile "A resurrection with a binding seal… that was never tested"
"I already know a binding seal" stated Glarion.
"And I know a way to resurrect anyone" added Demiurge.
"This is going to be long" sighed Osirus.
"I second that" added Ainz "Well, in the meantime, I would like to meet this adventurer"
"She's waiting outside" said Osirus as he walked toward the front door of the inn.
Chevalir saw Osirus walking toward her with a man in imposing black armor, and a girl with black hair.
"So you are the girl my subordinate told me about, he said you have some interesting horses"
He eyes the red horse she was currently sitting on.
ONE LONG EXPLANATION LATER
"Indeed…...very interesting, well I must be going now" he turned to Osirus.
"You may stay here if you like"
"Thank you,"
The man in black armor walked back into the inn. Nabe followed after trying to burn a hole in her head with just her eyes.
Chevalir and Osirus began to chat for a while.
"Find yourself a girlfriend?" Kumiko seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
Chevalir blushed a bit.
"Nay, she is just a member of the party we formed together"
Chevalir felt sad for a reason she couldn't Identify.
"Is that so? Then why is she blushing huh?"
Osirus looked genuinely surprised.
"Oooohhh I see what's happening here, this will be fun to watch" the samurai said as she walked away.
TIME SKIP
"Is that truly how you feel?"
They had returned to their room.
"I….I don't know…...I mean, I guess I like you" her face was full chrimson.
Osirus could feel her turmoil and discomfort so he did the only thing he could think of.
Chevalir gasped as she was hugged.
He pulled her close, she looked up into his softly glowing eyes.
Osirus could not feel more awkward. He had no idea what to do in this situation.
Chevalir was curious though. "H-how do you feel about me….?"
There was a pause as Osirus tried to think.
"If you had asked me that an hour ago, I would have said 'I think of you as an ally, an excellent fighter, and someone that I could trust"
He paused again.
"Now though? I think of you as all of those things, and as someone beyond a friend. If you truly want this, then I will try my best."
Tears formed in Chevalir's eyes, she leaned into his chest and began to cry.
Osirus just held her close as he thought over his little speech.
'That was a bit corny…..I need to work on that'
