Osirus was happy for a good reason; the sorcerer king Ainz Ooal Gown is going to visit the city, he's going to be accompanied by the emperor of Baharuth, but he isn't that important. Apparently, he wanted to see how the city was growing, and there's going to have two representations at night; the first is a traditional Japanese theatrical play, the second is an Irish Riverdance. But Ainz still had some time before arriving, which means that he had to do his patrol instead of waiting at the gate. He really wanted to wait, but he knew that the samurai was keeping a close eye on him. He sighed as he walked in his armor and looked to see if there's anything that could help the citizens. He also put Misha in a school where she could learn how to write and read, as well as learning other languages. He was surprised when he heard that school was free for anyone, the books and pens were given by the institute, and the uniform was a Yukata. After a month and a half in the city, Osirus began to feel his heart at peace, a feeling he didn't think he could get. His old master got her assassin unit made by Azazel, which consist of a group of puppet maids with black daggers and the ability to reassemble themselves. It was a bit unfair for the other countries that Azazel was working for the city, that guy is a genius who researched Sacred Gears, so they could begin their technological advancement ahead of any other country that's around them. He was wondering if his lord would allow him to govern a city… but it wouldn't be as fun as being in this city… and he doesn't have the slightest idea of how to govern.

His thoughts were shaken off when he heard a familiar laugh in a Tea House, he turned his head and saw his old teacher sitting and chatting with Glarion's mother.

'Do they know each other?' he wondered 'Maybe I should ask her later' he then continued his patrol.

After arriving at the gate, he noticed that there was someone who was taking a child hostage.

"One wrong move and she's dead!" yelled the man as he held a sword under her throat "I want to see the one in charge! Now!"

'This is bad' thought Osirus before walking to the man "Is something wrong?"

"Stop!" yelled the man as he closed the blade to the girl's throat "Where's your leader!"

Osirus was about to say that it was him, but he was beaten.

"That would be me" said Kumiko as she walked to him "What do you plan to do to this child?"

The man got a wicked smile as he saw Kumiko "A chick? Really?" he then began to laugh "Are you shitting me?" he then looked at Osirus "You! Slap her!"

"What?!"

"Do it! Or the girl is a gonner!"

"Which girl?" asked Vali with the little girl in his hands.

The man looked at Vali, then at his own hands… that were missing.

"Slap her you said" stated Osirus with anger as he walked to the armless man and grabbed by the throat "This woman should be respected" he then threw him to Vali, who cut him in two with his claymore.

"I'm sorry for this" said Kumiko as she bowed to the people at the gate.

Vali put the girl down, who ran to her mother, and walked to Kumiko before teleporting away.

After a few hours… it was time. Osirus could barely contain his emotions as he was standing in the gate, waiting for his lord.

"His lordship, the Sorcerer King, Ainz Ooal Gown. And, the emperor of the Baharuth Empire Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix" stated one of the girls who usually registers the names of the people who come in the city.

Ainz walked with Albedo by his side. While the emperor was with a middle-aged man with blue eyes, blond hair, and a beard.

"Welcome to the city of Kagutsuchi" said Kumiko with a gracious bow.

"So… this is Kagutsuchi" mumbled the emperor.

Osirus was happy as he was posted as the guard of the Sorcerer King as he was visiting the city, but he pitied Evera as she was posted as the guard of the emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.

After visiting the city, Ainz and Albedo followed Kumiko to the castle as they're going to discuss how things are going to go when the war will begin with the kingdom.

"Is this a joke?" asked Albedo after seeing where they will be sitting.

"Its fine, Albedo" stated Ainz "This is their traditions, you shouldn't be like that"

"But… but there's no chair!"

"Albedo" called the undead king, calming the succubus "We should respect any culture and tradition" he then turned to the emperor "Is it okay with you?"

"You don't need to worry, Ainz-dono, we don't have a problem" replied Jircniv.

They all sat as Glarion came in with an empty map that took the shape of the surrounding area.

"This is Napoleon's map, it will help us set a better strategy" said Kumiko as she passed her hand over the map, putting the names on the important points.

"So… where are you going to plan the battle?" asked Ainz.

"They need to be in advantage" stated Kumiko, getting a surprised look from the emperor "If we can get them to lower their guard, it would benefit the battle a lot since their overconfidence would lead them to make mistakes"

"What's next? Asking us to have less soldiers?" asked the man who came with Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.

"You said that you want the Sorcerer King on the field, I believe that having more than 50 000 would cause you some losses" replied Kumiko "Intimidation by number and victory are leagues apart"

"But the kingdom has-"

"Do you know the battle of the Red Cliff?" asked Kumiko.

"Also known as the battle of Chi Bi" answered Ainz "The forces of Wei were in a large superiority in numbers but still lost"

"They had more than 1 000 000 men while the combined forces of Wu and Shu had around 25 000" added Kumiko.

"That's… surprisingly strange" commented Osirus.

"I believe that to compensate for the lack of our soldiers, Ainz-dono should open the battle with his most powerful spell" said Jircniv "This way, we can make sure to destabilize the enemy"

"Not a bad idea" commented Kumiko, but Osirus knows that the tone she just used means that she smelled something fishy.

"My most powerful spell…" mused Ainz "Why not"

At that moment there was an explosion that occurred.

"Wha- what was that?" asked the emperor with worry.

"Just a mad scientist who is trying to make gunpowder" sighed Kumiko "Well, it's near time the representations" she then got up "I've prepared the royal chamber for both of you"

"You aren't going to join us there?" asked Ainz.

"My place is with the people" replied Kumiko "I'm not above them"

Osirus walked beside Albedo, he could see that she was not very happy.

He then looked to Evera who also did not look very happy with her job.

He got next to her as they walked and whispered to her.

"If either of them try to touch you, let me know and I will deal with them"

She blushed at his sudden protectiveness over her

"Osirus"

Lord Ainz called for him.

"Yes my lord?"

"Tell me, how do you like your life here?"

"I am very happy here, my family, my job, the people, and it's leader are all more than I could ask for"

"I see. How far are you willing to follow that girl?"

"As long as I can bring my family along and they are safe, I would follow her anywhere and defend her ideals to the death. I could never hope to repay her for what she has done for me"

He paused in thought.

"I would do anything she asks of me as long as it is within reason"

The undead hummed in response.

"I only ask this in curiosity, what if she were to threaten your loved ones?"

Osirus knew that the samurai had no reason to do so, but if she did….

"I know for a fact that I could not beat her in a fight, even so I won't lie down and die so easily"

He wonders what would happen in a fight between his ex rival and his old master. He knew that Kumiko was strong, very strong.

But his old teacher is not to be taken lightly.

"So your loyalty to her only lies in the protection of your loved ones?"

"That is correct"

They walked in silence until they reached the place they were going to watch the representations from.

Osirus watched over the crowd, more interested in doing his job than the event.

He was glad that he decided to do that because he saw someone grab a woman from the crowd and drag her into an alleyway.

"Excuse me my lord, I must do my job" he rushed around the crowd so as not to disturb anyone and followed the alley until he found three men with swords holding the woman down.

"Let the girl go"

The three men turned to see him, Osirus could see the hope in the woman's eyes.

"You want us to let this girl go? Ok, how about you bring us another one?" one of them said.

"Yeah, how about that whore in charge of this city"

Osirus did not like situations like this, he had no choice.

"I pity fools like you, she will make sure you regret your misdeeds before ending your lives"

"Just bring her here, we have 'plans' for her"

Osirus could tell by the sound of his voice what those 'plans' are, and it disgusts him.

Osirus walked around a corner, out of sight from them and cast a message spell.

"Kinda busy at the moment"

"We have a problem"

"...what kind of problem?"

"Three men have taken a women hostage, they want me to bring you here in exchange for her life"

"Wonderful….any Idea who they are?"

"All I know is that they are from Re-Eztize, their swords have the symbol on them"

"I will be there soon"

The line was cut.

'I hate this feeling, one of being useless. I am unable to do anything, once she gets here she will take over and send me back'

The worst part was that there was something he could do but he did not have what he needed in order to do it, and he knew for a fact he could not get what he needed without most likely being killed on the spot for even asking.

{calm down, you are getting angry again}

He was, he was very angry.

But he needed to cool down before she got here.

'I need a goddamn drink'
