Overlord Effect: Battle for the Milky Way

Chapter 6: The Beginning [Part 1]

Nazarick Tenth floor: Ainz' office.

Ainz was suddenly feeling the need to retire once more, he had just finished watching what his friend had done to the citadel, while he was pleased that the job was done, she could have gone about it a different way. Now they would have to convince the council to stay quiet about what happened there, but then again the public will start to ask questions, questions that would need to be answered in some form or another.

He was brought out of his internal musings by a light knock on his door. Cixous, his maid for the day quickly made her way over to the door to open it. She had delicate golden blonde hair and Amber eyes like that of a late afternoon sunset, her uniform was mostly blackexcept in the chest region which was highlighted white as if to emphasize that portion of her figure.

When she was naught five steps from her objective the massive obsidian Black doors swung open abruptly with a *bang* stopping the maid where she stood. Ainz face palmed knowing very well who it was.

"Esdeath-sama!" The maid yelped in surprise and then immediately bowed. "I'm sorry I was not able to get to the door in time to open it for you milady!"

"Not, it's fine, we're in a bit of a hurry, I can open a door for myself every now and then... don't want to forget how to do that could be bad..."

"Y-yes Esdeath-sama" Cixous replied in an unsteady voice.

"Cixous could you please go and get Myriad for us while we talk . he is required for the next step in my plan." The maid turned around with sparkles in her eyes, admiring Ainz with awesome delight.

"At once my lord!" When Cixous had left the room closing the massive door's as she did so, Ainz quickly put up an anti observation spell and they both let out an audible sigh.

"You didn't have to go that far..."

"Whatever do you mean Ainz-kun?"

"You know exactly what I mean." He replied to his friend - pointing at her with his index finger - during this, she made her way over to the seat in front of his desk.

"Oh! That!" she tilted her head, blinking innocently. "I only threw a spanner in the works, it would have taken forever to convince them otherwise!"

"Right..." and Ainz could only sweatdrop, answering uneasily. Seriously, his friend really went too far from time to time. Time to time speaking, almost always.

"Besides, it was their decision to blow up their own capital ship. Though, it was out of the ordinary, still a nice fireworks display... it was fun to watch, tehehe."

"Yeah, I suppose it was." Ainz chuckled lightly. "Where is Albedo? I was expecting her to be with you, she didn't seem very amused at the end there."

"I left her on the sixth floor. Says she wanted to spar with Cocytus to let off some steam. She was really unsatisfied with our "little" insect friend." She said as a perverted smile crossed her face.

"You don't say..."

"She also really wants to know when you can go on that holiday you promised her." She quipped teasingly, only one of her eyes open as she glanced at Ainz.

"I, u-um..." Ainz pulled his collar, looking away. If he had sweat glands, he would be drenched by now. "That's none of your business." He all but shouted as his emotional dampener took effect.

"Hehehehe, see it is useful sometimes."

"Evidently..." Ainz replied in a low monotonous voice.

A slight awkward silence hung in the air for a few moments until Esdeath chose to speak again.
