Osirus was extremely nervous as he woke up on the couch. He had hoped that what he just lived was some sort of dream, but the soft feeling of Chevalir's breasts on top of him was the confirmation that it wasn't. He wanted to get off of the couch, but the girl was like glued on him. He took a deep breath and decided to maneuver himself out of her grip… damn the girl has a strong one. After 45 minutes of careful manipulation of Chevalir's body, he got up and got dressed. He went to buy their breakfast, but had a strange encounter.
"Good morning" said Kumiko casually as she was holding her girl in her left arm and a box in her right one.
"What are you doing here?" asked Osirus.
"Just wanted to see how your couple is doing…" answered Kumiko as she noticed Osirus blushing "And I brought you a gift"
"Poisoned gas or explosive bomb?" deadpanned Osirus.
"Neither" replied Kumiko "It's more something for the two of you"
"O-Oh"
"It was Ophis who asked Glarion to make them" said Kumiko as she handed Osirus the box.
"I feel… a great power" commented Osirus after getting the box in his hands "It's like some sort of divine artefact in this box"
"Well they were made with the use of a divine artefact after all" said Kumiko "By the way, where are you living here? I'm pretty sure that both of you are living under the same roof"
"Can you stop with your well deduction skill" grumbled Osirus before saying "I was about to buy breakfast when I encountered you"
"So… where are you living?" asked Kumiko.
"Why don't you try to find out yourself, detective?" smirked Osirus, knowing that it could be hard even for her to know.
"You have a strong smell of alcohol on you, then it's an inn and a tavern in the same building" said Kumiko, shocking the knight "So all I have to do is walk in the direction you were coming from and I'll find it" she walked past him before turning to him "By the way, were you the one who breached her gate?"
"W-W-W-What kind of question is that?" asked a madly blushing Osirus.
"So you're the first one" said Kumiko casually before continuing her way.
"What the hell is wrong with her?" wondered Osirus before arriving at the store he goes to, bought the usual thing before returning.
When he entered, he saw Chevalir and Kumiko talking.
"I'm back" said Osirus while putting the bag on the table.
"Looks like the knight in the shining armor is back" said Kumiko in a surly sarcastically tone.
"Why are you here? The real reason" demanded Osirus.
Kumiko sighed and said "Ophis wanted to know if you would be interested in seeing something that your violent brain can't understand"
"Translation please"
"We want to give Ainz a godly weapon"
"What?" asked Osirus with confusion.
"You'll understand later" replied Kumiko "For now, open the box I gave you"
Osirus shrugged and did as he was told and saw two identical golden rings.
"What are those?" he asked.
"Glarion calls them Connection Rings, they can help you localize one another and even tell you if the other is in danger"
"That's nice" commented Osirus.
"They also have other capacities; one can give you the immunity against negative aliments, the other can give you godlike reflexes" added Kumiko.
"You also have one?" asked Osirus after noticing the ring in Kumiko's hand.
"You finally noticed it? Took you long enough"
"Do they have the same abilities?" asked Osirus.
"Nope, mine makes my skin indestructible during day and I'm intangible during night, while Vali's one gives him a bonus in his strength" answered Kumiko "Well, I'll go now. Don't make her cry, got it?"
"Mind your business" said Osirus as he saw the samurai leaving.
"S-S-So, what should we do?" asked Chevalir as she was looking away.
Osirus was about to say something when there was a knock on his door. He opened and saw the guildmaster standing there.
"Is there something I can help you with?" asked Osirus.
"I wish to talk with Chevalir Jinete" answered the guildmaster.
Osirus nodded before letting him enter. They all sat down, and the guildmaster bowed to the girl.
"I'm sorry for what happened to you" he said.
"Wha-"
"When I was told that you were taken on aggression and vandalism, I searched, and found that they were false" said the old man "If I was quick enough, I would have done something about it"
"It's not your fault, guildmaster" said Chevalir.
"It is" replied the guildmaster "I should have done a better job at protecting you"
"Well… I'm okay now, so it's not really a problem" said Chevalir.
The guildmaster laughed and said "I've heard of that" he then turned to Osirus "You have surprised me kid, to think that you would attack one of the Eight Fingers, the joy of youth. Don't worry though, you won't have any problem now"
"Is everything alright sir?" asked Chevalir with concern in her voice.
"Don't worry about me" said the guildmaster before getting up "Well, I need to go. If you need anything, just ask"
Both Osirus and Chevalir waved to the guildmaster as he was leaving.
Osirus held both rings, one in each hand.
"Hmm….. my armor grants me immunity to all poisons and negative spells, and you are already really fast"
"So I guess we know who gets what"
"But which ring does what?"
"Should we find that girl?"
"No, we can figure it out"
He stood up and placed one ring on his finger.
"I don't feel any-Whoa!"
Chevalir had thrown something at him, he caught it faster then he should have.
"Well, we know what that one dose" she said cheekily.
Chevalir picked up the other one and placed it on.
They both suddenly felt connected.
When they looked at each other, memories from last night flooded their minds.
'I actually kissed him….'
They both sat down and ate their breakfast.
She looked at the bracelets that he had gotten for her.
Her heart fluttered, she looked at him.
Chevalir wanted to test something.
She leaned into his side, just like before.
He stiffened, but slowly relaxed.
"Why were you so frightened last night?"
"I…..i was scared because…..I…"
"Because why?"
He turned to face her.
"I think I love you Chevalir…...and I was scared that you may not feel the same way….."
Her eyes went wide.
Osirus feared her reaction.
"Look, you probably ha-mmh!"
He was interrupted by a kiss.
"You're a real idiot, you know that?"
Osirus had never been more confused in his life.
She pushed the consused knight onto his back and crawled over him, and laid on top of him again.
"I love you too, Idiot"
Osirus lost all brain function.
All he knew was that he was never going to hear the end of his ex-rival's laughter.
