Chapter 73 - The date with Anna

After both Asta and Sekke were able to neutralize Ainz's magic, they decided to help the skeleton that got blown away in pieces and started reassembling him.

But to their surprise, the bones that were scattered away soon started glowing and then rushed towards each other to assemble the body once again, and soon Ainz was back to his normal skeleton form.

Surprised by the sudden scene in front of them both Asta and luck looked at Ainz with amazement.

"Oh yeah, Asta! Asta! Want to go to a mixer? Finral was asked me and you to go with him there. He said it will be fun! We can fight there too!" said Luck with an excited look on his face.

Finral who was still hanging on the tree mentally cursed Luck and then glanced at Sekke.

"Heh, you are taking Asta and Luck to a mixer. Well, it's good for them. Well anyway, have fun you guys." said Sekke as he picked up the black bull robe that he found earlier and placed it around Ainz's neck who just gave him a nod.

Sekke nodded as well and then looked behind as he saw someone coming towards them.

"Sekke, hurry up or you will be late," said Vanessa.

"Hm, is it already that late? Well then see you guys later. Have fun." said Sekke as he went back to the HQ leaving behind the others who were confused about what he had to do in the evening.

Asta then asked Vanessa if she had any idea about what Sekke was going to do and in the end both him and Finral were shocked after hearing that he was going on a date.

"Well, then I am going," said Sekke.

"Take care," said Vanessa.

"Make sure to get something delicious la," said Charmy.

Giving a nod to the two girls Sekke got out of the HQ building and saw Noelle forcing Magna to take her somewhere.

'She is most probably going to where Asta and the others are. Well, leaving that aside.'

Sekke's grimoire started flipping as magic gathered in his hands.

[Bronze Creation Magic: Bronze Rider]

As his bike appeared Sekke got on top of it but soon noticed Secre who flew down and took her place on the bike.

"You coming as well Secre?" asked Sekke to which Secre just turned towards him and put on her small shades.

"*Sigh*Well as you wish," said Sekke and poured mana into the bike and soon zipped away.

Meanwhile, Secret, who was sitting in front of him glance back at her partner and thought, '...I am only doing this because his mother asked me to take care of him...and it is necessary to protect him from that bitch.'

Unaware of the thoughts of the anti-bird, Sekke drove to his destination and soon arrived in front of the town where they agreed to meet.

Deciding to enter the town, Sekke got off his bike deactivated his magic, and started to look around.

While walking towards the meetup destination Sekke noticed Anna who was in her casual clothes from a distance and took a deep breath.

'Alright, Sekke Bronzaza, it's showtime.' thought Sekke as he walked towards Anna who was walking towards the destination.

"Anna-san"

Hearing her name being called out Anna turned towards Sekke and widened her eyes slightly.

"Hello. Thanks for coming on such short notice," said Anna.

"Thank you for inviting me," said Sekke as he looked at the black-haired girl in front of him.

'...'

'...'

'...'

'...This is getting awkward.' thought Sekke as both of them just stood silent in front of each other with Anna starting at Sekke.

'...If it is going to be like this, I don't think that I have to take any action.' thought Secre as she looked at the two of them from Sekke's shoulder.

But little did the anti-bird know that she just raised a flag....and a lewd one at that.

"Sekke-Kun"

"Hm? Yeah,"

"If it is not a bother to you, can we hold hands?" asked Anna without any hesitation.

Hearing that the people around them got silent and stared at the two of them with awkward looks on their faces.

Many people were now looking at Sekke as if wondering what will the boy reply to the girl's question.

Sekke was quite surprised as well by her sudden question and wondered if she was planning something. But he then noticed a faint blush on Anna's cheeks and with an awkward look on his face moved his hand forward.

"Sure I don't mind," said Sekke as Anna's eyes twinkled a bit.

She then held his hands lightly and stood there without saying anything but soon a smile that Sekke knew was rare for her appeared on her face.

Sekke and the people around them blushed as they saw the expression on her face.

"...Thank you Sekke-kun," said Anna as she looked up at Sekke with a soft smile.

And then for the first time in his life, the dark lord felt a throb in his heart.

Secre who suddenly felt a bad premonition immediately glanced towards her partner and saw him staring at Anna with a gaze that for some reason she didn't like at all.

'Don't fall for it!' mentally yelled Secre as she swatted Sekke's head with her wing making the dark lord snap out of his trance.

Secre then glared at Anna and thought, '...She is dangerous.'

Anna immediately noticed Secre when she swatted Sekke's headland noticed the burd glaring at her.

"Ow, what was that for Secre?"

"Sekke-kun, are you all right?" asked Anna.

"Yeah, anyways shall we look around for a while?" asked Sekke to which Anna nodded with her usual emotionless face while she continued to hold his hand.

'...My beak is really itching to peck a hole through their hands.' thought Secre as she looked at the lewd scene.
