A Passable Ressurection

Her upper body zoomed upwards, the speed causing some minor mirages of herself. Her bright pink eyes glanced nervously around as she got onto one knee. Her breathing was non-existent as her undead heart beat slowly to echoing thrums of her own soul slowly cementing itself into her new body. Her eyes locked onto me and I saw a flash of recognition, her heartbeat increasing slightly as her magicules flexed under the strain of regaining her senses.

Shalltear made no noise but she was scrunching her face in mild confusion as her posture was hunching in on itself, a protective stance I had seen in the past. With some caution deep down inside myself I looked to the side where Sebas was standing, hoping that such a movement would be a signal for him to step in and explain. Shalltear had her own thoughts however as she opened her mouth, her tongue lulling out for a few seconds until she got control over it.

"What is happening? Why did you bring me back!?"

Her voice was raspy and intoxicating in a way as she wearily continued to gaze at me. She hadn't even noticed Sebas or Ramiris, said Demon Lord currently eating cookies off to the side. I winced as I was now expected to answer her, Sebas just staring at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Because, I was under the wrong impression about you and Nazerick."

She frowned as her pink eyes panned off to the side, seeing Sebas standing there like a statue, his posture and face utterly un-emotional, the raised eyebrow now replaced by placidity. Observing her intently I saw more than just a small amount of confusion, her posture was utterly defensive. Her eyes were narrowed onto Sebas as she slowly stood up. Her body was fully exposed but she didn't seem to care, her care for public morality completely non-existent it seemed.

"Sebas, what are you doing here? Did you not get killed?"

"Shalltear-sama, it is good to see you once again. I did not die, I was contacted by an enemy to Nazerick and had to flee to save you all from his vision."

Her eyes widened as she began to look around her, noting the large chamber we stood within and the fairy that was just floating above us with cookies in hand. 

"That is now a part of the reason why I think Tempest and Nazerick should not be enemies... We have too many enemies as it is and the people of this world are abnormally strong."

Taking a step towards me she scanned my entire body, her pink eyes flashing to a bright red for a second until it went back, her powers searching through my magicules for any sight of lies or falsities. She showed me an amused smirk as she got even a little closer, her body involuntarily shuddering as I detected a small amount of fear; a feat that was not unimpressive for the so-called immunity Vampires had to the condition. 

"Ara, It seems the one that killed me wishes to gain something from me... Perhaps a recommendation? Not happening."

Her tone was utterly cold and distant, the melodic quality to it making the rejection of helping even more jarring... Not that it effected me. I chuckled and smiled directly in her face, my hands extending out in a shrug of my shoulders.

"I am not asking you for anything you little menace. I am simply wishing to use your resurrection as a way to talk to Ainz. Preferably within two days, before Walpurgis. I will not venture to Nazerick myself, but, Sebas, when you get there please tell Ainz that I wish to meet him where we last had a fight."

Sebas nodded as he walked up to Shalltear, a small portal opening as he took out some of her spare clothes, handing them to her. Shalltear was glaring at me in hatred as incisors began to extend, her old shark-like vampiric extension completely gone with the new body. An aesthetic change that was pleasing to me.

"Why doesn't my form change!?"

"Now, now... There are prices to be paid for resurrection and naturally the body will take on the image that the one who does it has in mind."

Ramiris was the one to speak now, her tone rather unfriendly as she noted the rather obnoxious and annoying presence of Shalltear. I don't think she enjoyed undead living in her halls that weren't of her own creation or control. To be honest, I didn't blame her. Shalltear was a rather annoying little firecracker and was obviously perverted with most things she did.

"So she took everything away from me!? My breasts as well!!!???"

I laughed and quipped back.

"You never had any anyway, you always used breast cups!"

Shalltear tried to leap at me but was held back by Sebas, the butler using all of his strength and resolve to stop her from doing something ridiculous to me, someone who could be an ally to Ainz. He almost failed several times but in the end he was able to hold her down with the idea of getting back to Ainz.

"BITCH! COME BACK HEEREE!!!"

Stepping down the stairs I soon found Ramiris flying next to me. Calmly we moved down the stairs as a flash of purple energy above signalled the exit of Sebas and Shalltear... The woman was certainly a handful, she hadn't even thanked me for bringing her back, a feat that was impossible for almost everyone that wasn't me. 

|I do not know if this meeting will work, but, it would be intelligent to bring some security for yourself...|

'I know Morgan, perhaps Souei, Benimaru and Rimuru?'

|Rimuru would be a good call, especially if Ainz has become a Demon Lord, we do not want to risk your death, even if the percentage chance is below 2%|

'Why are you so concerned about my death?'

|If you die, I die. I am your friend, ally, companions, system... Thus, I am soul-bound to you. It is a punishment that I must pay for defying your mother, Gaia.|

'Intriguing... Well, when I become a god I'll make sure that you are freed from the torture.'

|Most generous of you, but I deserve my punishment...|

My right eye twitched at his last statement but I dropped it as I detected a hint of melancholy from him. It was no doubt a sore subject and he had accepted his lot in life. Although I felt sick from the implications of his submission I turned my head in Ramiris's direction. She too was looking at me, our eyes meeting for an awkward second before she moved ahead.

"If you are done you are free to leave..."

"Come with me back to Tempest."

"Why? We aren't friends, or anything."

Normally you would think her words were rather hurtful but this wasn't the case when I looked at the massive blush spreading across her face. Other fairies began to cackle, laugh and chuckle as they poked or teased their queen from a distance. Her blush burgeoned into a roaring pink as she looked down at the ground.

"Because I want to be friends and Rimuru has been talking about you a lot."

"H-he has?"

I nodded whilst kindly smiling. Ramiris immediately started to create steam from her ears as embarrassment mixed with her tumultuous emotions. The laughter of her kin increased as there were some female spirits that began to whistle at her. 

'I don't know what's different about this Rimuru compared to his anime version but our version has rizz for days... Sheesh.'

|Perhaps its his relative weakness in character to the anime counterpart? Maybe it draws women in thinking that they can change him or serve to improve him...?|

'Possibly...'

"W-well, I-if Rimuru has been talking about me of course I should go visit my friend..."

"Sure. Well, are you ready or?"

"YEP! Ahem, I mean, yes..."

Rotating to face away from the Spirit Queen I waved my hand and created a doorway that lead directly into my demi-plane, where I could then exit within my bedroom. Luckily this method didn't need any walking and would be extremely effective in shortening distance whilst serving to buffer from tracking spells or spatial detection spells. My demi-plane would take most of the heat and there was fuck all in said space that could hurt Tempest... Even the entrance to my house only allowed me, Shuna, Milim and Rimuru out. The only reason it would work for people outside of that list is if one of us was with said person.

The portal appeared in a bright blue flash, the wave of energy expanding over the top of the both of us, sucking us through space. With another flash we emerged at the entrance of my demi-plane within my house, the sun rune that made it glowing brightly for several seconds as we used it as an effective fast travel point. 

'I need to add these runes across the world for quick travel and easy access to the Demi-plane.'

|Perhaps you could use them as safehouses for Ghost operatives?|

'Interesting, I'll have to look into that...'

"Welcome to Tempest, specifically my home. Milim?"

I called out for my wife and heard a small pop downstairs, my pink little bundle of energy crashing through space and into my arms as she called out my name. She directly ignored Ramiris climbed up me a little before giving me a sloppy kiss. I figured that come night time we would be rather active...

"Honey! I was bored so I went to work! Beating up weak people is kinds fun, especially when they make those surprised drunk face!"

She used her index fingers to pull at the sides of her mouth, making a rather perplexing mockery of what they looked like. Continuing for a few seconds she eventually let go of the sides of her mouth and replaced the silly faces with a huge joyful grin. Unfortunately this beautiful side of her didn't last long as she saw Ramiris hovering beside me. 

Speaking of Ramiris, she was gobsmacked. Her jaw was hanging down and her eyes were as wide as they could be physically. Wings fluttered chaotically as she used both her hands to cover her cheeks. I had the distinct impression that she was not expecting this from our quickly actioned travel. 

"M-m-milim!?"

"Oh, you brought Rami-chan with you! Nice ta see yah again Rami-chan!"

Holding back laughter and concern was hard but I was barely able to do it as the two women started to chat. Ramiris was chaotically asking millions of questions as Milim simply laughed her ass off. Feeling like I was a third wheel currently I reached out mentally to Rimuru, receiving back a test-pattern as he didn't 'pick up'. 

'Did this bastard just dead-phone me?'

|I think he did...|

'Son of a bitch! Fuck it, let's call Yuna, she'll at least pick up!'

I reached out once more, this time for Yuna... 

Silence...

'...They are fucking useless!'

|Now, now... They could just be very busy. What if Yuna is doing some training?|

'Stop making excuses for them, especially ones that are so logical, it makes me feel stupid.'

|If the shoe fits...|

'Don't you fucking start again, I thought we'd gotten past this point?'

|Then stop being so stupid?|

'I was going to be nice and free you from your cage but I suppose I've changed my mind.'

|That's fine, as I said, I deserved my punishment.|

'For fuck's sakes!'
