I don't own overlord.
: Well yes it was little rushed. J
Small Journey:
Kits along with Aura sittiing on her 2 favourate pets were now outside the gates of E-Rantel. The pets were moving towards their destination at a slow pace (comparable to pace of horse) in silence. None of them were talking.
Slow because Kits had instructed aura to move at slow pace.
"This is stupid.. I decided to run away from the situation that I created myself and now I am stuck with Bukubukugama's creation without any aim. Seems like something is following us from E- Rantel"
Being an Assassin Kitsume had few tracking skills but compared to a full fledged ranger like Aura he couldn't do anything even with the items that he possed.
As Kits had too many skills his original body and the bodies he could control. It took him time to control his own skills and perfect them in this world.
The reason he bullshitted infront of Albedo was to get out of the situation he was in and only aura seemed to talk to him normally so he selected her as an excuse. He wanted to take shalltear with him but she not only looked defeated and depressed but was also struggling to gain some recognition among guardians. So he decided to ask for aura instead of shalltear.
Hence, now he was moving with aura to a destination where he didn't knew what to do.
"She is more like Bukubukugama- ni. If she comes to know that I brought her along without a reason, for nothing, she will definitely kick my ass. What should I do now? Think…" Kits mind was confused trying to find a way out.
"Ahmmm.." aura was trying to interrupt the silence and inquired in a soft voice.."Kitsume- sama can you tell me more about Bukubukugama – sama."
"Ah yes, what do you want to ask?" Kits spouted without thinking.
"Any much as I can. I mean it's an honour to know about my creator. Kitsume-sama how long do you know Bukubukugama –sama."
"Honour? Creator? Kitsume-sama?" these words popped in Kits mind as he was already disturbed but tried to calm himself down.
"What should I say… ah yes?"
"First I would like to order you that you don't need to use -sama for me I am your uncle so in private you can call me oji-san. Second I have known ni-san from middle school…"
"Wait will she understand what middle school is?" Kits thought
"…..I mean since I was about your age."
"Damn even using time is kinda problematic….. Will she calculate according to elf years or human years?"
Aura looked confused… but kits decided to remain quite. He was cautious of Bukubukugama inside her..
"Are you going to leave us too?" aura asked and the question to kitsume but Kits noticed her emotions towards her creator.
"What should I say? If she takes my statement incorrectly then her loyalty might diminish or she might even catch my bluff, which will be even worse. I can't make ainz angry from my stupidity. Damn bringing her along was a mistake… ok its decided I will give her only vague answers without any details.."
"Well I have some responsibilities in other world. So yes, one day I hope to leave. My other objective with Ainz was to meet you guys afterall".
Kits decided to say some truth. Even though he was more interested in meeting pero's creation. But he could'nt ignore aura's feelings.
"Is it wrong to visit my niece?" Kits tried his best to divert the question.
"Ahh…no… I mean you can visit us anytime you want."
"It's good that she is a kid afterall. Hmm.. I can dodge this. Its better to keep her engaged in calculated talks rather than random ones" Kits was now gaining some confidence.
"Ah thank you, but I wanted to know what actions did you take to trace those culprits. I believe you are a ranger and assumed you have trackers?"
"Yes I have my pets who can track with scent, footmarks etc."
"I believe you have already tried that."
"Yes but we were not able to gain any specific info as it was solid grounds with no traces left."
"Hmmm, I see. What summons did you use for tracing?"
…..
Meanwhile in E-Rantel.
Kits walked out from the room (Ainz residence in E- Rantel) along with aura following him…
All present guardians were just staring at Kitsume's back.
Mare looked visibly scared.
Shalltear looked excited.
Albedo looked extremely worried.
Cocytus felt unease.
No one said anything…..
Sebas dashed inside the room from inner manson he looked like he felt at ease after seeing other guardians asked….
"What happened here? I sensed a strong killing intent here."
Albedo looked at him with a worried look…
"I was walking towards Ainz sama's room and sensed killing intent that cannot exist….. from here." Sebas continued looking towards guardians.
"What. Was. That.?" Cocytus mumbled.
"Wow, I never thought uncle could be that strong."
Meanwhile Albedo instructed one of the eight edge assains to follow Kits and Aura and report, she had regained her composure.
"Well seems like he lost his composure for a fraction of second when he heard about those people attacking Shalltear are still unknown." Albedo stated.
"Ok then I am returning to my duties."
No one tried to even compare Kits and Ainz sama. Of course that would be blasphemy.
So they first changed the topic and then returned to their assigned duties.
Journey contd…
"Hmmm, Seems like you have already tried all things possible.." Kits mumbled.
"I am sure you might be able to do something about it."
"Ah, ahmm.. Sorry to disappoint you but even I can't do anything much than you have already done, in this case. I just have to confirm one thing, How far are we away from that spot?"
"We are quite close."
"Well let's increase our speed."
After sometime both of them reached the spot.
"Seems like an all out battle was fought here quite some time back." Kits thought.
"Aura keep distance from me and I am going to use something so kindly take care in case of any attackers."
"Ok". Saying so aura activated her perimeter guarding skills.
Kits took out his world item [Ring of time and dimensions] from his pocket dimension and placed it on his fingers.
"It wont' work but I will have to show something to her to reason it with her later." Kits thought.
Ofcourse he couldn't go back just by doing nothing.
And thus he activated the ring.
A huge spherical ball appeared covering him at its centre. The letters and pictures on the sphere changed at high speeds.
Well it was a world item after all.
Within a minute of this 2 magic circles appeared both one on the ground and one on top of the sphere, all rotating at high speeds. The bottom one moved in clockwise direction and the top one moved in anticlock wise direction.
Aura looked perplexed.
And then
The magic circles broke along with sphere vanishing in thin air.
Kits was standing at the same place smiling at his place.
Aura was confused, Why was he happy when his magic failed?
"Lets head somewhere else."
"What happened? I could see that your magic failed." Aura asked.
"Oh that was bound to fail, don't worry about it. I just came here to confirm it with as a small experiment. I will send my report to Ainz san about it later"
"oh..?" she made a sound but was still confused.
Both of them started walking back towards the mounts.
"So the usage of world item at a particular place stops time travel and the later application of world items. Hmm interesting. So that means even if I had Kronos magic I would not had been able to use this world item to trace back the other world items, if used.." Kits thought.
"Seems like I will have to go with the old fashioned way." Kits mumbled.
Aura was looking towards Kits in praise.
"But I will have to gain more practice in controlling my aura in this world" Kits thought.
"Aura do you know a place near here where I can do an experiment alone? I mean a place with about 5 Km radius with no intelligent life forms"
"Ah yes."
"Lets go, I am going to meditate".
Meditation was not something Kitsume was habitual of. He just wanted some time alone where he could experiment with his own aura to establish more control. It was also to think on his next moves.
Aura showed him a place in the jungle and took a seat while Aura remained on her guard.
After some time…..
Kits released his aura and then shrank it doing the same multiple times.
"Seems like I am gaining confidence over this body.. Is the delay in gaining confidence/ habitual because it's not exactly my summon? Seems like this need to be investigated further"
He had never used any of his own summon's summon body in the past for so long.
"Let's go back."
He had already decided not to speak much to aura, hence he created a gate and both Aura and Kits returned at E-rantel.
