Chapter 55 - Magic knights HQ

The next day after Ainz was accepted into the squad Sekke woke feeling refreshed after completing the mission and dealing with the hassle named Yami who kept attacking Sekke for quite a while for tricking him.

Standing up and stretching his body a bit Sekke scratched his back and looked around the room and saw Secre sleeping in her bed and decided to let her rest for a bit longer and quietly leave the room to finish his morning routine before Yami wakes up.

After finishing his morning routine and training Sekke returned back and saw that a few people were already awake.

"Good morning." said Sekke.

Secre who heard his voice looked at him and saw that Sekke was completely drenched in sweat and went to the room to get him a towel.

"Oh, good morning my friend. It's a beautiful morning. Let's do something fun together." muttered Gordon.

"Good morning Sekke-kun! Want to eat something La?" asked Charmy.

"Sure!" replied Sekke with an excited tone and then saw Secre who came to him with a towel in her beak.

"Thank you Secre." said Sekke as he took the towel from her and wiped his sweat.

"Sekke-kun, we will be going to the HQ so make sure to be prepared." said Finral.

"Alright. By the way, where is Ainz?" asked Sekke.

"Asta is giving him a tour around the base." replied Finral as he looked up from a book he was reading.

"Oh looks like he is getting along, well good for him." said Sekke and sighed in relief. He felt a bit guilty for bringing Ainz out of his his home like that but seeing that the skeleton himself didn't mind that and was getting along with others made him a bit relieved.

After having his breakfast and taking a bath, Sekke came to the main hall of the HQ and stood in front of Yami along with Finral.

"Alright Finral, take him to the magic knights HQ and deal with the troubles. Make sure to deliver the goods properly." said Yami.

"Why are you saying it like we are going to deliver some drugs." questioned Sekke.

Yami just ignored him and took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Deliver it to Julius." and gave it to Sekke.

"Huh? We are going to meet the wizard king?" asked Finral with a shocked tone.

"Well he selected the brat for the mission so I am sure that he would like to meet him." said Yami.

"Alright." said Sekke as he put the letter in his pocket and looked at Secre.

"You coming?" asked Sekke hearing which Secre just flew and sat on his shoulder.

"Eh? I wanna go as well." said Asta.

"No. You will be called if you are required to report." said Yami.

"But Sekke is going as well!" said Asta.

"He is going to send the diamond guys that he caught. Now go you two shoo shoo" said Yami as he sat back on his seat and shooed Finral and Sekke.

Finral sighed and opened the portal and said, "Let's go Sekke-kun. Alright everyone see you later."

"See you guys later." said Sekke as he entered the portal along with Finral.

-------------------

"Haa, it feels really good to be here in the capital!" exclaimed Finral as he looked around.

"Oh, a beautiful lady is over there~." said Finral as he immediately moved towards the first beautiful girl that he saw.

Sekke looked at the man who was the one who was going to lead him and sighed seeing that he easily drifted away.

"Well let's just leave him as a compensation for having him take on Yami-san yesterday." muttered Sekke.

"Well then Secre, looks like we are the only ones to do the job."

Secre patted his head with her wing comforting her partner.

"Well aren't you a caring one. Now, let's head towards the magic knights building."

After walking for a while enjoying the view of the streets and ignoring the few people who sneered seeing his robe, Sekke and Secre reached the magic knights HQ.

Entering the building, Sekke looked around and was shocked seeing how beautiful the building's interior was and thought, '...Just how much gold is used to make decorate this place?'

Looking around for a while Sekke headed towards the place that looked like the reception and saw a handsome man and woman standing there.

"Excuse me."

Sekke stood in front of the man and called out to him. The man looked at Sekke and was a bit surprised seeing that it was a man who called out to him since most of the times the one dealing with males was the lady beside him while he mostly dealt with females. And to be honest he felt a bit relieved that he talked to him since always dealing with women was too much for him.

The man even disregarded the fact that the person in front of him was a black bull and greeted him with a smile, "Greetings, Welcome to the magic knights HQ what request do you have?"

"I along with my squad were sent on a mission and I caught some mages from the diamond kingdom. So I would like to hand them over." said Sekke nonchalantly.

Immediately after he said that most of not all the eyes and ears were on him looking at him with shocked looks on their faces.

The man gave a cough and said, "I-Is that so. Just wait a minute I will relay this information to the higher ups immediately. Can you please tell me the your name and the mission that you were assigned to?"

"Sekke Bronzazza from the black bulls and the mission assigned to us was about the recent dungeon exploration near the border between the clover and diamond kingdoms." said Sekke.

After hearing what the mission assigned to him was and knowing how important was it, the people near Sekke started to look at him in disbelief thinking how could such an important mission could be handed to the black bulls.

The receptionist on the other hand immediately left to inform the higher ups about the case leaving Sekke amidst of a curious crowd.

"...Heh, did you see how shocked they were Secre. Well not their fault, the dark lord is just that awesome you know." said Sekke in a low volume as he looked at Secre who sighed and thought, 'I knew that he was acting like that on purpose. Seriously...'

Secre looked at Sekke who had a smile on his face and just shook her head and thought, 'Well that kinds of things makes him unique and interesting and are the things that I....' and just enjoyed the happy aura that Sekke was radiating.
