Osirus sighed as he sat at his desk, he had to find the group who entered the city, but he knew that that the city is way bigger than he could cover with the amount of clones and the help of Evera, Chevalir and his old master could help him search. He didn't know how to deal with it, Maybe he can ask the others to help… they won't all accept. He got up and decided to walk in the place where Kuroka was set, maybe she could help him. When he arrived, he saw the sign.

"Yoru no hana…" he wondered who got the name, but it's not that important now.

He went inside and followed the indication some girls gave him and found the room where Kuroka was.

"Osirus, do you need something?" asked Kuroka before smirking "Or did you just want me~"

"I fear there's some unwanted people in the city" replied Osirus "I thought that you may have something about them"

"Just because I have this position you thought that I would have something" stated Kuroka as she shook her head, Osirus sighed before hearing a giggle "Don't worry, I got some gossips from the girls working here"

"Really?"

"You'd better be ready for this" smirked Kuroka "One of the girls got attacked the last night, but she was saved by 'A handsome white knight with wings'"

"Vali" said Osirus "Did the girl say what they look like?"

Kuroka began thinking for a second before answering with "She said that one was wearing bandages on his head and had eyes that were wide, as he didn't have eyelids. The other was muscular compared to the other and appears to have a big scare on his face, the scare was in the shape of an X and it was across the entirety of his face"

"This really is a pain" sighed Osirus "Well, thank you for your cooperation" he then began to walk away before finding himself trapped by Kuroka's hands "Kuroka?"

"Are you sure that you don't want to stay a little longer?" asked the black haired Nekomata "We can have a lot of fun"

Osirus blushed a little and said "I still have to find the troublemakers" and freed himself from a sad Kuroka before exiting the place.

He began walking around the city before seeing Vali standing and staring at an alley.

"What's wrong?" asked Osirus as he approached the white dragon wielder.

"We may have a big problem" said Vali, not looking away from the alley.

Osirus got curious and gazed, just to get a shock at the scene; there was an unconscious young girl, maybe around sixteen years old, she had her clothes ripped and her state said a lot of what she had to face. He also noticed a piece of paper.

*Leave the city and don't come back, or you're next*

He could easily conclude that it was addressed to Kumiko.

"If they think that I'll stay still while they've threatened Kumiko, they're wrong" growled Vali.

"Calm down" said Albion "I know how you feel, but rushing without a plan may be what they want"

'I never thought that something like that can happen' thought Osirus 'They must be dealt with'

"If I see that disgusting pig again, I'll cut him to shreds!" snapped Vali as bloodlust can be felt.

"Albion, can you explain what happened?" asked Osirus.

"A noble of Re-Estize came and tried to take the city by first asking Kumiko to marry him, but when she told him that she's already married to Vali-"

'Already married?'

"He said that he wanted to buy the city, but it didn't go well as Kumiko told him to take his offer and to get back to his gold before losing his head" continued Albion "He tried to capture the city by force, but the skeletons that Kumiko summoned were enough to keep him away"

"That's… really infuriating," commented Osirus as he saw how things got.

"You don't say," said Azazel as he approached them.

"What do you need?" asked Osirus.

"Just telling you that the first soldiers are ready" smirked Azazel.

"How many?" asked Osirus.

Azazel brought a piece of paper from his pocket and said "According to Kumiko's demands; 150,000 city guards based from the German shield men, 100,000 archers based from the Japanese archers, 200,000 horsemen based of the Winged Hussars, and 350,000 samurais that look like what she calls an 'Orochi'"

"How did you make them?" asked Vali, after calming himself a little.

"I followed the structure of the ancient war golems to make them" explained Azazel "Even if they're at the same height as us, they're still more powerful"

"I think that I should report the news about that group to Kumiko" sighed Osirus.

"We'll come with you" said Azazel with a smile "I need to inform her that her army is ready"

"And I need to stay by her side," added Vali.

The three of them arrived outside the room, Vali just opened the door without knocking, followed by Azazel.

Kumiko smiled at the two arrivals but it dropped upon seeing the third.

Vali and Azazel began to tell her what had happened, and about her army.

Throughout the entire conversation, she took glances at him.

'Why does she keep looking at me?'

{maybe she did hear what you said}

His face paled and a look of fear grew on his face, something Kumiko saw with her last glance.

'I'm so dead'

{Mou, and you were my favorite host too}

'Not helping!'

He recollected himself and tried to look at anything besides the samurai.

When the conversation was over, Azazel left the room.

Osirus was about to follow him, "Hey, bonehead, stay here"

'Oh no'

"Vali, please wait outside"

"Bu-" "Vali"

He huffed and left the room.

It was just them now.

"Sit" she said with a commanding voice.

They sat across from each other, an awkward silence passed between them.

Osirus was sweating more and more as time passed.

"So, care to explain yourself?" he jumped a bit at her voice.

"E-explain...what?"

"You know exactly what im talking about"

He sighed, "Please don't hit me when I explain"

"No promises"

"Listen, when we first met, back when you first arrived in Kuoh, I had an…..attraction to you"

Her eyes widened a bit.

"Then Apollyon told me that you held the Myre, and I was sad that we would have to fight"

Kumiko rolled her eyes at that part.

"In fact, if you had not kidnaped Koneko and threatened to hurt her, I would have tried to ally with you and possibly form a bond"

"Yeah, sure"

"I am serious, I found you attractive back then, and even more so now"

Once again her eyes widened.

"And now that you know my secret, you may ridicule me as much as you want. Hit me, if you wish"

He stood up and began to get slightly angry.

"Now I see that it would have never worked out, I had held on to a small amount of hope. Hope that was broken by my own foolish actions and corruption with power"

A slight red aura formed around him as he spoke.

"When I got my memories back, I had hope once again. I can't believe how foolish I am, not now and not ever will you see me as anything other then a violent, rockheaded, weakling"

His aura got more visible as he spoke, Kumiko warded the room.

"Besides, you have the mighty white dragon by your side. You would never need anyone else, any time you have ever looked at me has been with either hate or disgust"

His body was beginning to be outlined in gold.

"I understand now, I am nothing to you but a piece on a board, a pawn to be used to do a job it was given"

He closed his eyes and all the power and aura vanished.

"Now if you don't mind- he opened the door -I'm going to do my job, then i'm going home"

He walked out of the room, Vali replaced him shortly after.

"What's his problem?"

"..."
