After getting home, Kai and Scathach go towards their bedroom and Shuna and Shion stay out in the living room. "Shion, I think Kai is really upset... He was really quiet on the way back which isn't like him."
"Yeah, it does seem like it... Do you think I should make him some dinner to cheer him up?" Shion replied with a little too much excitement. In a nearby bedroom a certain man suddenly got shivers running down his spine and his instincts were going nuts.
Shuna's face turned pale and she quickly exclaimed, "No, no! I will cook, you just go relax. You might be fighting with Kai soon so he needs you to be in top shape! Yes that's why!"
"You're right princess! Thanks for taking care of the food!" She replied.
'Whew, dodged a bullet there... I really should make something for him though.'
*Inside the bedroom*
'Ugh that lizard fucking annoys me. Whatever it's over, if they are gather troops the orcs really do have a large army. We'll hold a meeting later about it, for now I need to think of how I'm going to approach this. If Treyni comes to ask for my help then it will be relatively simple. If not I will have to find another way to guarantee the lizardmen ally with me. Guess I'll come to that when the time comes.'
Kai looked up at Scathach and smiled, "Sorry, I was thinking about something. Let's go see if anyone made anything, if not I'll make some ramen."
"Okay. I'm glad you aren't angry over that lizard... I sure as hell am."
Kai smiled at her and pulled her into a kiss. Pulling away he said, "Thank you babe, but I'm fine."
They walk out into the dining room where Shuna had already made dinner for everyone. "Good evening Kai, I already made dinner for everyone."
"Thanks Shuna."
Shuna put on a concerned face and and walked up to Kai. "Are you still upset over that lizardman?"
"Hmm? No? I was irritated earlier, but I wasn't upset or anything. I wouldn't be fit to be a ruler if something that minor actually upset me haha. Don't worry, I'm fine, thanks for worrying though." Kai said as he pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead.
Smiling back at him, "That's good to know, come on, let's eat."
"Sure."
*After the meal* (Kai POV)
"Hey babe. Can you go and get the other Kijin and have them meet in the meeting hall. I'll get Kurobe, who's probably with Kaijin, and the rest of the people." I say to Scathach.
"Sure thing. Meet you there in an hour."
Walking out of the house, I go find the Dwarves and Rigur first. Arriving at the blacksmith shop I find Kaijin and Kurobe working on some weapons, most of which look like katanas, tantos, odachis and other Japanese swords. "Hey you two, we are having a meeting in an hour at the meeting hall. I'd like both of you to be there, it's about what we're to do about the orcs."
Both of them looked up at me from there work and nodded, "Sure thing Kai." "Of course Lord Kai" They replied respectively.
"Great, Kaijin, can you also make me two swords, one a kodachi and the other a tanto? I just realized I don't have any weapons yet other than training swords."
"Sure thing, I should have them done in a couple of days."
"Great, can you make them with magisteel cores as well. I don't want to have to switch weapons soon."
"Already planned on it."
"Sweet. I'll see you two in an hour."
*An hour later*
'Hey Sarlyn, is there any way for me to get the skill duplication like Rimuru had so I can give and take copies of skills from myself and my subordinates?'
[ Yes darling. There is a skill called 'Sharing'. It costs three credits, normally it would cost 6 but it will merge your 'Shared Bond' skill in with it so it costs less. Now anyone that has a significant connection to you, either subordinate or lover, can give or take copies of skills to/from you. ]
'Great, yes buy it please. It would be so useful.'
{ Skill 'Shared Bond' has been sacrificed and merged with the newly acquired skill 'Sharing'. (Sharing: Anyone with a significant connection to the host, subordinate or lover, can give or take copies of skills to/from you.) }
'Thank you love.'
"Hey Shizu, come here for a second."
"Sure thing Kai." she replied.
"First I want to say I'm sorry for sort of ignoring you lately. I've been really busy, once this thing with the orcs is over, lets go out on a date. Maybe we can take a trip to a human city for a few days. "
"Sure that would be great! We can go to Ingrassia. Honestly I've really been wanting to go and see my students there, so do you think we could go there? I can introduce you and it would be great for a date or two as well." She said with a sweet smile when thinking of her students.
"Sure thing. Quick question though, do you mind if I copy some of your skills and share them around, mostly things like 'Body Double'?"
"Of course not Kai. You saved my life, I owe you everything. You can do whatever you want with them."
Putting on a smirk I put my hand on her shoulder and leaned in and whispered, "That sentence is very suggestive Shizu. I might take you up on that offer later, if you want of course. For now I'll unfortunately have to stick to the skills."
I pulled back just in time to see her face quickly getting redder and redder, "*cough* Well your welcome for letting you use the skills as you see fit." Even coughing and changing the topic, she couldn't hide the slight upward curve of her lips.
"Alright, alright."
{ Skill 'Sharing' used. Skills 'Body Double', 'Shadow Movement', 'Degenerate', 'Flare Circle', 'Thought Communication', and 'Black lightning' have been copied, shared and saved to various subordinates. } (A/N: Sorry I didn't type all of this out. There are obviously more but if I were to list all of them it would be the WHOLE damn chapter.)
"Thank you all for showing up on such short notice. I want to talk about what we are going to do with about the orcs. One option is that we ally with the lizardmen, though I would send Souei as an envoy rather than going through that insufferable idiot from earlier. Anyone have any suggestions other than that?"
"My lord, if I may?" Benimaru spoke up, "Sure thing, what's up?" I question.
"Before we talk about the orcs... I just got a bunch of skills, was this done by you and did everyone get them?" He asked with a bit of excitement in his voice.
"Ohh yes, I got a new skill called 'Sharing'. It lets me copy and give/take the copied version of my subordinate or lover to my other subordinates and lovers. So basically, we can all share each others skills now. Everyone should've gotten three skills, 'Degenerate', 'Thought communication', and 'Body Double'. Then I gave other people skills related to their specialties, like I gave Souei 'Shadow Movement', and 'Sticky Steel thread'. "
When I said this, everyone got really excited, except Shizu who had a bit of a bitter but understanding expression that I just gave everyone in the room her unique skill just like that. I looked at her an gave her an apologetic smile, to which she just shook her head and gave me an understanding one back.
"Sorry my lord, it's very exciting for us to get new skills, especially 'Degenerate'. As far as the orcs go, I think allying with the lizardmen is a great idea. We could also see if there is anyone else in the forest willing to-" Benimaru continued but was eventually cut off by a wind that started to pick up in the room.
Seeing leaves and wind start to swirl and a plant growing out of the table in front of everyone, they all jumped back and put their guard up. Knowing this was one of the dryads coming, I raised my hand and said, "It's fine, it's a dryad." Hearing me say this, everyone visibly relaxed but still stood back.
A few seconds later, an extremely beautiful dryad appeared from the flower. She got off the table and looked at me. Kneeling on the ground she said, "I apologize for the intrusion and late introduction my lord. I would've liked to introduce myself sooner, but since Veldora's absence and now the orcs I haven't had the chance. Once again I apologize for not coming to see the new lord of the forest earlier. I am the dryad, Treyni. I will be your personal attendant from here on out, as a dryad of the Great Forest of Jura, it is my duty to take care of the lord of the forest."
***********************************************************
Ughhhhhhhh. Sorry for the late chapter. This is the third chapter from last week. I had to drive all day on Sunday and I didn't feel like writing after driving all day. I will be posting 4 chapters this week, this one included, to make up for it. Also, now for SURE, I'm doing Yggdrasil and Overlord next. 90% of it will be taking place in the New World and there will be a lot of time skipping in Yggdrasil. Nonetheless there should be a good 10-20 chapters in that. With that being said, I'll do my best to get all the guild members of Ainz Ool Gon personalities correct. Also let me know if everyone wants Momonga still in the New World with Kai or not. I wasn't going to originally, but I leave that to you all. It would be much easier to write if he wasn't, but I can still make due.
Also for those of you who wanted Rimuru in this story, I will be adding her into it at some point. Though I will tell you now, she will have been a female human prior to reincarnating rather than a male human.
