Osirus was standing in a corner of the room and looking at the man he captured, healed and tied to a chair. He was to keep an eye on him, ordered to make sure that he stays alive.
"What are you going to do to me?" asked the prisoner.
"Dunno what they plan to do, just pray that you don't get it hard" replied Osirus.
The door opened and there were four people who entered, the first was Kumiko with the rusty chains in her hands, the second was Glarion with a weird looking knife in his left hand, The third was his master in all of his glory, and the last… Entoma… the damn samurai must be the one who called her.
"M-M-Monsters" said the tied man with fear.
"I'm going to ask you a question, I would advise you to answer" stated Ainz before asking "Where are the bases of the eight fingers?" the man stayed silent and glared at the undead "No answering, I see… Osirus, free him"
"Are you sure my lord?" asked Osirus with a worried tone "He can escape"
"If he tries, Entoma will catch him" replied Ainz.
Osirus shrugged and cut the bindings. Kumiko held the ends of the chain in both hands and began tugging the ends apart. The man fell on the floor and began to scream, Osirus could easily hear the bones of the man beginning to dislocate, one by one.
"Please stop!" begged the man as he felt the pain.
Kumiko stopped before looking at Glarion "Heal him"
The elf held a hand and healed the man.
"So, are you going to talk?" asked Ainz.
"N…"
"I can't hear you, talk louder"
"Never…"
Kumiko used the chains again, ending with the same results. And Glarion healed him again.
"I admire your will" said Ainz with a hint of amusement "But do you really think that you can stand for a longer period?"
"I thought that the chains of Tomas de Torquemada would be enough, but look like we need to use the knife H. P. Lovecraft" she said as Glarion poke him with the knife in the shoulder.
After a couple of seconds, he began to scream and to crawl back.
"What are you guys holding, seriously?" asked Osirus with a sweatdrop.
"Something your little mind can't understand," replied Kumiko with a smug grin.
"Why you…" growled Osirus before palling at an insect standing on Kumiko's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" asked Kumiko as she took a step toward him.
"N-Nothing" replied Osirus as he took a step back.
"Can we stop those childish actions and get serious?" said Glarion with a serious tone "He's going to be ready for interrogation now"
The man was sweating and breathing hard.
"Now I'll ask one more time, where are the bases of the eight fingers?" demanded Ainz.
After getting the answers they needed, the man was killed and transformed to a Death Knight.
"Interesting items you had there" stated Ainz with an interested tone.
"You mean the Chain of Tomas de Torquemada and the knife of Lovecraft?" asked Kumiko "Just one was in the hand of the most monstrous inquisitor of all times, and the other was in the writer who lost his mind after using it too many times"
"I would be interested in hearing more, but maybe later" replied Ainz "We would like to use your help on this one"
"It's been nearly 8 month since the last time I fought, maybe I can get the rust off me" mumbled Kumiko before taking the bug from her shoulder and began to walk toward Osirus, who began to walk away.
"Can you stop following me with that in your hands?"
Kumiko stopped and gave the insect to Entoma "Thank you"
"Anytime" replied Entoma.
"You're really the most sadistic person I've ever met" mumbled Osirus.
"I do believe that we need to assemble the rest" said Glarion "We need to make sure to hit all the targets at once"
"All I need is to see the ones who are going to be there and I can give you the best strategy," stated Kumiko.
"Aren't you a bit too confident in this?" asked Osirus.
"Beat me in chess and I'll maybe think that you're right" replied Kumiko, causing the knight to mumble something about her and only being good in chess "Do you want to test that?"
"I said nothing…" grumbled Osirus with defeat.
"Do you mind if I ask why you have a fear of insects?" Entoma asked. Kumiko listened in from the shadows.
"Just don't tell anyone about this, ok?"
Entoma nodded
"It was a while ago, a few years maybe….. I was battling a giant spider along with my brother. It had trapped me in its webs, I was forced to watch as the spider ate my brother alive"
Entoma was taken aback.
"It knew I was watching, it did it slowly, tortureing both him and myself at the same time. It knew I could not beat it alone and decided to let me live with that memory for the rest of my life"
Entoma was horrified.
Kumiko was shocked and retreated to think about what she just heard.
"Im so sorry, Lord Osirus….I-"
"It's ok, I don't hold anything against you" he patted her head, then quickly realized who exactly he was patting.
He retracted his hand quickly.
Once things were settled, it was decided that there would be five hours until the mission began.
That meant that Osirus had time to visit chevalir and Misha.
He went straight to the Morning Star and up to Kuroka.
"Nya~ how can I help you, Lord Osirus?"
"I am here a girl named Chevalir, what room is she in?"
"Oooh, find yourself another girlfriend?" Kuroka asked teasingly.
"Y-yes actually"
She handed him a key with a number plate on it.
"That is the room number"
"Thank you"
He found the room on the second floor.
He opened the door and walked in, he did not make it far before he was spotted by Misha.
"Daddy's back!"
She hugged the confused knight.
Chevalir came around the corner.
Osirus gave her a questioning look.
"What else is she supposed to call you?"
He knelt down and picked the girl up. They sat on the couch together and he told Chevalir what happened.
