Osirus was sitting in his desk, reading a book he got from Kumiko after finding her with Vali… in an awkward position. He had to ask her for hours before that she agreed to give him a book… a children's book. She was still upset that he ruined the moment between them. Thankfully, Arche gave him a book she just finished, but found it too long. He wasn't the type to read, but he had to pass the time. He even tried to ask the samurai again, with some results this time since she was working on some papers. She gave him a book titled 'The Last Day of a Condemned Man'… she was still upset. He read the first two chapters, and found the story quite intriguing. Maybe he'll like the rest. Evera entered and sat in her desk before turning to Osirus. She had a surprised look on her face, one that could be compared to cats when they see their own reflection in a mirror.
Osirus turned to her and said "What?"
"Who are you?" she asked "Where's the real Osirus?"
"Are you serious?" deadpanned Osirus "Why does everyone think that it's impossible for me to read a book?"
"I think that a comic would suit you better" stated Evera "Since it possess pictures"
"Ha ha, very funny" said Osirus sarcastically before returning to his book.
Evera sighed before taking some papers and began reading them.
A bit later, Osirus was walking to see if there's no problem in the streets. After dealing with the noble, Kumiko sent his head to the kingdom, as well as a letter stating that the next one who would target her city would face a fate worse than his. Now, there's no need to worry about those black potions since he destroyed the very source of their coming. He sighed before heading to the gate, where he had to take the register back. He was also thinking of how Misha was doing with Glarion. The half elf was kind enough to teach her how to control her powers, but was still a bit hostile to the knight. Not as hostile as before, but still hostile. He went to the gate, took the register, and headed back to his desk, only to find that there's a third one in the room.
"What's happening?" asked Osirus with confusion.
"Don't you know? We're getting someone else to help us" replied Evera.
"Who?"
"Dunno"
"Really?"
"I didn't asked the samurai when she entered with some golems to put a desk here"
"Master~" called Succuba as she appeared "I'm hungry~"
Osirus felt the glare of Evera and sighed at that "Didn't I tell you to not bother me when I'm at work"
"Mou~ you're a meanie, Master" whined Succuba "But I'm going to take double tonight"
Osirus sighed as Succuba teleported away, he turned to Evera and said "Long story…"
"I'm sure" deadpanned Evera.
He knew that it would take a long time for him.
"Excuse me" said a voice at the door, as Osirus turned to the origin of the voice "I've been assigned to this building"
"Lu Ming?"
"I've been told to come and to ask you how I should handle my new position in the city"
"Well, our job is to make sure the city is safe and peaceful"
He felt a glare coming from behind him.
"It seems you two are acquainted"
"This is the girl I saved from the noble"
Evera took Lu Ming to the other side of the room and began to speak with her.
'She still doesn't trust me'
He saw the girl's face become pink and begin to steam.
"I did not do anything to her!"
"Fine, I just had to make sure you are not getting any other girls pregnant"
"P-p-pregnant!?" she shouted.
"Can you not say things like that out loud?"
Evera sat back at her desk and began to work.
"Anyway, everything you need should be at your desk"
One of his clones walked in and saw the new addition.
"et accipe tibi vis in via temptare quoque cor eius?"
"Non opus est ultra exitibus"
Osirus left the building before he was harassed further.
He summoned his Stag Knight armor and began his patrol.
'First I get harassed because of a book, then I am portrayed as some sort of sexual fiend'
Raglin appeared beside him as he walked.
"Don't worry master, I will always remember you as my most suicidal host"
"I take pride in the fact that I have escaped death three times so far"
"Are you planning on increasing that number?"
"Not willingly"
"So what are we going to do?"
"I'm not sure, the kingdome knows not to attack us now and there is no one in this city that would cause trouble"
"This truly is a peaceful city"
"Yes, one that will not fall. Not on my watch"
XXXXXX
"What the hell is that?"
"I think its a baby dragon"
"Why would you bring it here!?"
"Should I leave it outside for a child to find?"
"N-no, but…."
"Its kinda cute"
Osirus had found a small blue dragon the size of a dog on his route, it was injured and on the brink of death. He healed it and brought it into the prison, it was just sleeping in his arms now.
"Can I keep it?"
"No! It could be dangerous!"
"I doubt this little guy is dangerous"
"It's a dragon!"
"It was dying"
"If that thing wakes up and tries to eat you, it's your problem"
Osirus sat at his desk with the dragon in his arms.
That is when it decided to wake up, it looked up into his eyes.
"Hey there"
The dragon licked his face and snuggled into him.
"See! I told you!"
Evera began to grumble.
Lu Ming stood beside him, she reached out to touch the dragon.
It began to growl.
She slowly opened her palm and allowed the dragon to sniff her.
Soon it licked her hand, showing its trust.
"What are you going to name her?"
"Her?"
"Yes, its a girl"
"How can you tell?"
"Its just a feeling"
"Hmm, how about Aqua?"
The dragon showed no signs of rejection.
"I still think you will regret this" Evera said from her desk.
XXXXX
Osirus was on his way home, the dragon was sleeping in his arms.
He was thinking of ways to explain this to Chevalir.
He stopped a bit far from his home and summoned a clone.
He did not want the dragon to freak out when his old master ambushed him.
The clone took his place, dodging her and leading her away.
Once it was clear, he entered his home.
"Is that a dragon?"
"Yes"
"You just casually brought home a dragon?"
"Yes, her name is Aqua"
"You plan to keep it?"
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?"
She got close and looked at the dragon, she sighed.
"I guess not, I always wanted a pet. I never thought it would be a dragon though"
