===Chapter One: Von Zerbst===

Within the deep, dark woods of Germania, stood Von Zerbst castle. But even though it was called a castle, it was considerably different from the Tristanian ones.

The old stone-made building probably had a splendid history, and the repeatedly added random extensions increased its original size twice as much. The architectural style was uncertain as well.
The raising top looked like of ancient Tristain and Galia, the high steeples belonged to Varon’s style, while the middle wall undergone a massive transformation under the Albion’s architecture influence.

Next to the delicate Romalian brick tower, stood large, made from massive rocks, Germanian citadel… thus, ignoring the looks and prestige, this building was a mess. Tristain’s and Galia’s nobles pucker up their eyebrows seeing so built castle, and the respective liberty and innovation of the country of fire, Germania, makes them frown hard.

In one room of such castle, devoted to the cheerful and warm feeling of the spring, Saito was sound asleep. Because he just took part in a big adventure, his body felt very tired.

In his deep sleep, Saito was dreaming. It was a nostalgic dream.

Dream of hometown. Dream of the earth…

In the kitchen, his mother was cooking, And he watched her from behind.

“Mother, what are you making?”

“Your favorite - hamburger steak.”

For some reason, such casual conversation, pierced hard through his chest. Mother turned around. Mother's familiar face. Same gentle, calm face of the mother...

“Saito, you, why are you crying?”

“Huh?”

Saito rubbed his eyes. They were full of tears.

“Such a strange child.”

Said smiling face of a mother and changed to Tabitha’s mother’s face. Surprised Saito, let out a cry.

“Uwaa!”

Saito woke up from his yell.

“A dream…”

It was already a second dream of his mother. Being so far away, it was a wonder he could recall it at all.

Saito rose from bed and looked out of the window. The sun just passed the midway. The bed next to him, where should have been sleeping Malicorne and Guiche, was empty. No one was sleeping in it for some-time already.

Saito dressed up and turned to leave the room himself…

“Saito.”

In the doorway stood Louise.

“Oh, Louise. Good morning.”

For some reason, when Saito greeted her, Louise shyly casted her eyes down.

“Lunch has been prepared. Everyone is waiting.”

“Then you should have woken me up.”

“I tried. But you did not wake up.”

“I-I see. Sorry.”

Saito said looking away. He became embarrassed remembering the dream. It may have been a journey deep in the dream world. But the dream of a mother was strangely embarrassing.

Both Tabitha and her mother were saved from the Galia‘s old castle five days ago. Last night they arrived to Kirche‘s familly, Von Zerbst, residence in Germania. Louise and Saito, Kirche, Guiche and Montmorency, Malicorne, Tabitha and her mother; overall - eight people and one sylphid, managed to safely cross the border.

Galian military, after learning that Tabitha and her mother went missing, put out chekposts along the highway, checking the passing travellers, but on every such point sylphid would transform and Kuiche would cast a spell pretending to be an important person, thus fooling the check.

Because the local Galian army has fallen into disorder, it was easy to escape the line. The morale of local soldiers who stood in the check was low. Some soldiers would not even do a proper check on carriages, before mumbling the motivation-less ‘Go’. Gallian Royal government apparently did not care about prefectures too much, often excluding the army‘s direct control.

The best troops were placed on the boarder with Germania. Calling themselves the Knights of the Roses, was a squad of elite knights, placed in there.

The party was nervous.

When they thoroughly rummaged the carriage, they found the disguised Tabitha.

The make-up was wiped from the face of sleeping Tabitha,

“This girl…”

It was a young knight, the leader of the knights, who introduced himself as a Castelmorr.

That moment, Kirche grasped the wand and Saito pulled out the sword.

However, Castelmorr got out of a carriage and loudly said.

“All clear! You may pass!”

The border passage was permitted. When the carriage crossed the border, they sent their expression of gratitude to the splendid knight. He, who should have captured Tabitha, Saito and others, let them go.

When Tabitha woke up and they told her about the incident, she just calmly said “I see”.

“Even though he was not an ally, he was not an enemy either. I was relieved.”

Saito recalled the conversation upon crossing the national borders and nodded.

“Tabitha?”

“She is asleep in the room over there.”

Louise, from the room prepared for them, pointed to the door across the corridor in front of them. Saito nodded and slightly pushed the door. It was not locked. Making a slight sound, the door opened.

From the opening, Saito glanced into the room.

Mother and child, hugging each other tight, were sleeping soundly on the big bed.

It was saved by Saito and others. Tabitha and her mother.

“Anyway, they are finally safe.”

Louise, who stood by his side, nodded.

“Oh well. Besides, it is Germania here… Galia can’t do much here.”

Sauto nodded, and feeling uneasy asked.

“Hey, yesterday, when you sent the letter…”

Last night Louise sent a letter addressed to Henrietta in Tristain by the owl. It was filled with Louise’s long apologetic sentences.

First, it began with report that Tabitha had been rescued safely, then followed the apology for crossing the border without permission, and secondly stating her willingness to take any punishment needed and hoping to return within three days.

“You did not write about my arrest, didn’t you?”

Though he watched closely as Louise wrote the letter, because he did not understood the characters, he could not understand the content that has been written too. Louise would not take his crimes for herself, would she? He thought, and asked tentatively.

“Not really.”

Louise said with a calm face.

Saito looked deeply into Louise’s eyes for a while. They were filled with little shining sparkles.

“Really? Aren’t you lying this way? It all started because of me. Thus it is me who should bear the responsibility…”

For a moment, Louise’s sparkling eyes lost their light as she fixed her sight on Saito.

“If you are caught, then you won’t be able to return…”

“Hey! That’s true, but… I am responsible as a sub-commander of the knight troops…”

Saito changed recently. When he was talking about ‘responsibility’ or ‘what he can do in this world, it all was making Louise perplexed. Didn’t he want to return to his world?

“Yeah yeah. That story is already over. Let’s go. Everyone is waiting.”

Saito, before turning to leave, peeked one last time as Tabitha snuggled closer to her mother. Then… something deep in his heart, became strangely numb.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing.”

Saito and Louise left the mother and child sleeping, and went to everyone who has been waiting in the dinning room.

While in the corridor, seeing the Von Zerbst castle’s furniture, Louise started complaining.

“Pshh, it’s the first time I have seen the residence with such a bad taste.”

Even so, Saito did not know a thing about the quality of the furniture’s in Halkeginia’s castle anyway. Well, it had a lots of Tristain’s statues and paintings lined up.

“Making this corridor in the manner of Traistain and then for some reason placing these paintings from the east in. Meaningless. Or perhaps rather than stressing over the east paintings, I should be more mad about the mimicry of the Tristain to begin with. Either way it’s retarded.”

Louise pointed at the image of god with many arms. For a moment it looked like a statue of goddess of mercy with one thousand hands that Saito saw during school excursion. Apparently. Louise could not forgive such casual decorating manner, using the furniture of her hometown.

“Look. This is Giovanni Lascault’s religious painting. It’s tint completely mismatches the color of the wall. Ugh, these upstart nobles of Germania…”

As Louise continued fuming about, Saito said in an embarrassed voice.

“Umm, Louise.”

“Huh?”

“Walls, statues, paintings – they all are all right… But this… looks of yours…”

“What’s wrong with my looks?”

‘Tsun’ – Louise turned around to face him and asked.

“…You did not take your dancer costume off?”

Underneath the mantle Louise was still wearing the same oriental dancer clothes that she wore while saving Tabitha.

With all its worth, these clothes were designed only to conceal only the most pivotal points, and it was embarrassing, whatever exposed place he guided his eyes on.

“Reluctantly so. It is the only clothing I have to wear.”

For some reason, when Louise said that, her voice sounded triumphant.

“Argh! Put on the clothes you wore before changing to it – the Magic academy school uniform!”

“That? It’s dirty so out of the question. I won’t put it on.”

“This is dirty in a different way! There!”

Saito shouted while turning his eyes away from Louise. Seeing her like that, was making him feel nervous.

“That, isn’t it Kirche’s family house? That sort of dressing is very suitable for Kirche's family as it seems, in eyes of the servants.”

Just then, a young employee woman, wrapped in a showy red clothes, happened to pass them.

Louise calmly hid her body behind the mantle. Indeed, this way, Louise's slender limbs were completely hidden.

“Hey, she can’t see you this way!”

Once the employ passed, while giving a quick bow, ‘swish’ - Louise provocatively swung the edge of her mantle, exposing the silky skin of her thigh. A teasing smile formed on her pink lips.

[[Image:ZnT11-021.jpg|thumb]]

‘Swish-swish’ More of Louise’s white skin caught Saito’s eyes, making him color up and turn his face away.

“S-stop it… Your mantle fluttering like this…”

This made Louise’s face blush hard yet she continued to stare at him.

“Why?”

“W-why, well, you, uh, looking like that…”

“Looking like what?”

“Skin and the stuff…”

“Are you stuuuupid? Are you excited just by looking at your master’s body? Unbelievable! How vulgar! You should die. In the forest.”

Blushing Louise declared.

“Do you have no sense of shame!”

“S-shame for what! There’s nothing wrong to be seen by a familiar!”

Flurried Louise said.

Firstly, in the carriage, Saito’s feverish gaze, when he looked at her dancer’s clothing, was very amusing. But as if showing was not satisfying enough, she went up with the whole provocative ending.

However, trying to act calm was intensely embarrassing. ‘What the heck I was thinking about‘ – after everyone fell asleep, Louise raged wiggling in her blanket. She raged and raged, continueing to worry and worry more.

What would the God think seeing her present act?

Not just the God but the Chiinee-sama too?

While thinking so, cheeks burning from shame, Louise cursed herself.

As within the carriage her distress continued… Louise pondered.

Though it was shameful to death, it also felt good too.

Aah, his gaze, solely focused on me and not on the other girls – that felt really good. By all means, I should wear these dancing clothes more. It was embarrassing, but this strange feeling of triumph was stronger than the feeling of shame.

“Stop scrutinizing so much. Anyway. There is no ulterior motive and no deeper meaning to this. I’m just wearing what I want to wear.”

Louise said in an angry voice. Though in truth it made her feel wonderful and glad, it would make her very furious if that was recognized. Though she could not say why it would make her mad. With such contradictions struggling within her heart, Louise continued to speak.

“Stop looking so intensively at me. Haah, what’s a life-form not given by birth? You.”

Naturally, Saito’s pride was severely damaged by such words. Saito turned his neck to the other side, thus completely averting the glance from Louise.

“Who is looking?”

Two people walked silently for a while. Eventually, missing his gaze, Louise started to loose temper. It is so trivial.

Finding the mirror put on the wall, Louise halted in front of it.

“Who is this cute girl?”

“Hey, move on.”

“I think that’s me.”

“Yeah yeah.”

Saito kept his head turned to the other side. Louise was growing increasingly angry. In her mind she started repeating strings of angry words. Loveyouhesaidloveyouhesailoveyouhesaid.

Whypretendingnottoseewhypretendingnottoseewhypretendingnottoseelooklooklookgettingangrylook.

Irritated, Louise went for her secret trump. She placed her delicate finger on her cheek.

“I wonder.”

“H-hey, lets go.”

Nervous Saito urged Louise. As always, he was looking at the opposite direction. ‘Kaaaaan’ – whole blood went up to Louise’s head. I’m acting so cute, I’m acting so cute and yet. Can’t let that happen. Pride soared high in Louise, like from the Blood ran up to her head. Result – Louise’s temperament broke loose.

“B, b-b-b, b-b.”

“B? What about it?”

“B, b-b-b-b-b, my breast cloth, i, i-i-i, i-i, if I’ll remove it, w-w, wonder how would I look. Sex appeal increases the cuteness. No doubt.”

“HAAH?!”

“There’s no doubt. Sex appeal easily attracts my familiar.”

Saito, determined not to loose, stood his ground. It was like this in his head – looking at Louise now would mean her victory and his defeat. Thus with his right hand he pinched himself, desperately fighting against the overwhelming desire ‘To look’.

“Then the b-b-breast cloth w-w-w-will go.”

“How long will you hesitate? E-everyone will see you if you wait.”

“Hey you!”

“Pshh.”

“Won’t hesitate.”

Saito applied more pover to the finger digging in his thigh. In the pain, cold sweat flowed. Seriously, flowed.
However, he won’t look. A man decided not to look. So, he won’t look.

Louise gave a lot of care to the cloth which covered her chest. Move, but the hand won’t move even if ordered. It was shameful. No, shame was not the only thing. Death. Her head will explode and she will die from shame.

And then it moves again. Though she returned her noble position to Her Majesty, her noble pride was still there. By all means. It is necessarily for a master to make a familiar to turn his eyes on her. So that there would be no regrets left.

Even though she is confused, because the blood went up her head Louise does not notice such thing. Her pride was driving her insane.

“Waah!”

With a shout she lowered her breast cloth.

Saito was surprised. Even if he was not surprised, the moment when Louise shouted, his head moved on its own, disregarding his intentions. And thus, his head graciously turned to Louise.

The first thing Saito’s eyes jumped on was the pulled down the fabric of the dancing costume, covering the breasts, the Louise’s slender fingers covering the exposed top of her breasts… which looked rather plain.

Saito, at the reflection speed of the insect level, jumped at Louise. And clung close to her.

“Sorry. Can’t help it.”

Recovered from her daze, Louise gripped the back of Saito’s head and tried to pull him apart.　

“W-wait a minute…Stop! W-w-w-what are you thinking…”

Then she saw Saito’s feverish eyes. W-what a look. Such crazy passionate that she, she… contrary to her will Louise closed her eyes.

“W-we… are very likely to be imprisoned when returning back to Tristain, right?”

“…R-right.”

Then a painful thought pierced Louises mind. If… she will be put into prison for all this…

Then she would not be able to meet Saito for a while.

“… then if so, maybe it’s the only time we can be alone as a couple?”

After these words… this time spent held firmly in Saito’s arms felt irreplaceable. These thoughts, and Saito’s passionate look, deprived the last remains of the strength from her resisting hand.

“I-is it alright?”

Louise, still nervous and shy, slightly parted her lips and puckered them up

“S-stop a-asking, idiot…”

Louise, looking very shy, was so lovely at this moment, that Saito’s head started spin.

He hugged her close to him,

Louise’s mind was in a turmoil.

Aah, I am sorry ancestor-sama. Louise Franciouse, is about to be swept of her feet in the bitter enemy’s Von Zerbst castle. When I passed through the gates, I never thought it would lead to this. I am sorry ancestor-sama, mother-sama, elder sister-sama, Chii-nee-sama – everyone – I am sorry…

The passion was so strong that her mind started to fade away leaving…

But then, with the corner of her eye, she noticed a red hair moving across the corridor. Louise's reaction was blitz quick. She kicked Saito into the groin, and quickly leaped back to her feet.

“Because you both were missing for so long, so I came to check you out. ”

Guiche put a hand on his chin and shook his head.

“You, what are you doing in other people house?”

Kirche asked, not hiding the amazement in her voice.

Louise’s mouth opened and closed few times, vaguely trying to remember any letter of the alphabet to utter. She shivered while cold sweat dripped down her skin.

“I-insect leeched to my neck so I tried to take it off.”

“And of course for that you needed to take off your breast cloth?”

Kirche asked with a malicious smile. Louise’s body hardened. Slowly she dropped on her knees and her shoulders sagged.

Meanwhile Saito was busy twitching on the floor.

Kirche approached Louise. She placed a hand on her shoulder, mischief was dazzling from her smile.

“Had enough of your lustful acts? And I thought no one would best me.”

“T-that’s not it. It has nothing to do with lust. It kind of shifted on its own!”

Shaking her temple, Louise came off with a desperate excuse.

“It’s alright. I have a gift for you.”

“Not needed.”

“It’s a letter from Tristain.”

Party, their faces tensed, gathered in Kirche’s room.

“Extremely soon.”

“Surely, it must be because she is angry so much. That queen of your country.”

Relaxed, Kirche spread her hands and said. Louise carefully eyed the letter that Kirche passed to her. The envelope was made from the high class parchment and had Tristain’s kingdom’s signature placed on it. Crest of Lilies that she got used to seeing… a reply from Henrietta without a long wait.

In this letter, my and others fate is recorded. How did Henrietta judge me?

Her hand trembled from tension. Saito watched her face nervously as well. Guiche, Montmorency and Malicorne caught their breath too, watching Louise's act.

Kirche carefully said to Louise who was still not breaking the seal.

“Hey Louise. You know about that letter. It is not necessarily to return to the Tristain. You can stay in my house.”

“You do not worry about teacher Colbert?”

Colbert, volunteered to take Louise’s and others place, so that they could pass the border.

Afterwards, no news from him. Even the crew of ‘Osturant’ that arrived to Von Zerbst had no information.

“If it’s Jean, then it will be alright. Surely, he hid himself somewhere. The report will come sooner or later. But if he’s caught, then I would go to another rescuing adventure.”

“No good. It would be much tougher than before.”

Then Louise took a deep breath and opened the envelope in a dash. The letter inside had just a single peace of paper. And a short sentence was written in there. Reading it, Louise started to tremble.

“W-what is it?! What’s written in there!”

Saito, who was not able to endure the tension any longer, pressed her.

“Just this much written? And more important what is written in there? Give it to me.”

Kirche took the letter from Louise’s hand.

“What, ‘Henrietta will wait at La Vallieres’ Ara, isn’t it good. She will wait at your parent’s family. Maybe it won’t be so tough in there.”

Kirche said pretending not to know. Louise’s shivering reached its peak. She just managed to utter.

“At home.”

“Why? Isn’t it good if you can speak with your family - they might protect you.”

“Far from protecting, I will be killed.”

As if giving up, Louise lowered her head.

===Chapter Two: When the Contents of the Cube are Exposed===

"Look at your plate when you're eating! The morsels are falling off the plate!"

Fear answered yes. Again. She'd answered the same word several times already but her eyes were fixed upon the square box that was placed on the corner of the room.

"Hmmmm. I'd thought that you'd say something cliched like, 'What are those small people doing inside that box?!'."

"D-Don't take me for a fool. I know how that thing works. This box just shows a place far from here. And the power of electricity makes it possible to record the past.
It's true that this is the first time I actually saw it but, uh, just like what I imagined. There wasn't much surprise with it, ahaha-haha-haha..."

She let out a false laugh while making a serious face. Her fork wandered around her plate, though it was empty.
The news caster on the television said, "Good morning, everyone! Let's do our best for this day!" and fear answered, "Yes. I don't know you but I wish you luck," with unnecessary
politeness.

"Hey, Fear, try this one out. I'll teach you how to operate the television."

"What is that thing?"

"Try pushing that prominent red button. Face it towards the television."

Fear received the remote control. She looked a bit tense as she tried to push the red button just as she was told.

"Wha---! The image disappeared!"

She looked astounded as she reported what happened to Haruaki. He told her to try pushing the button again.

"I-It, I mean, the image restored!"

She reported again with exactly the same expression.

"That's the On/Off button. Keep the television off when you're not using it. There are lot of other buttons but you don't have to use them. The only buttons that you could
touch are the buttons with numbers written on it. "

"Are you sure it's alright? I'm gonna push it? You hear me, I'm going to!"

The channel changed to a different news program doing a report about sports. It was about the F1 Race so F1 cars passed in front of the camera.
Fear, being a bit ignorant about these things, shouted "It's coming towards us! Look out!" and crouched on the floor. It was just as how Haruaki expected her to react.

"So, that's how it is. If you push the buttons, the channel would change. Whatever happens, the images won't come out from the television so you don't need to worry."

"I-I knew that! It's just that... er... yes! It's just that you have to be prepared for the unexpected! No one knows what'll happen next, uh-huh."

Fear tried pushing other buttons. Haruaki noticed that a faint pink shaded her white cheeks.
She only stopped pushing different buttons when the channel switched to a weather report. Her finger went still and her eyes stared at the television in awe.

"Is that the... sea?"

Haruaki answered affirmatively and she whispered softly, her eyes still fixed on the monitor,

"...I never had a chance to see it. I didn't think that it would be so big."

Different shades were behind those eyes. There was the shade of admiration... and there was also a bit of disappointment.

"It looks a lot colder and darker than what I expected..."

"That's because there are some rain clouds over there. It's completely different in summer."

"Is that so."

"We also have that here in our town. It's on the opposite side though. You could go someday if you want to."

Fear shook her head in a vague manner. Haruaki wasn't able to decide whether it was an affirmation or a rejection.

The doorbell rang and Haruaki went to the front door carrying his bag. Konoha was waiting behind the door, smiling.
Konoha usually went to school together with him when she didn't have work on student council or club activities.

"Good morning!"

"Okay, let's go."

"Hmmm... What's the meaning of this?"

"We're going to school. Didn't I tell you that we have to go to school during weekdays?"

"With her?"

"Well, yeah. We're in the same year level, after all."

Haruaki finished putting on his shoes, stood up and pointed at Fear.

"I have an order for you today. It's about your work while I'm away at school."

"...Tell me."

"First, turn the television on like I told you earlier. Watch any program that you like. When you get hungry, there are some food in the kitchen. When you feel sleepy,
go sleep. That would be all. I wish you luck."

"Only that?!"

"Yeah. Hey, I'm gonna teach you household chores later so be patient for today, okay?"

Fear expanded her cheeks like a balloon. Haruaki was puzzled. He can't think of any reason why Fear would be dissatisfied with his order.
Konoha peeked over the front door, smiling like a saint.

"Don't tell me you can't take care of yourself alone because you're lonely?"

"W-Why you?! Who told you that I'm lonely?! I'd be glad that there won't be any more annoyance like you two! Oh, I'm so excited. The world on the television is waiting for me now!"

"You'll be fine alone then. Great. Splendid. Well, let's go now, Haruaki-kun. To the happy place called school. TOGETHER."

"A happy place you say? Hmph! I'd bet that you'll just use those great tits of yours to flirt with him! How shameless! C'mon, go now, go! I can't wait to be alone, you know!"

"Er--- I'm kinda worried about Fear but I'll be late for school at this rate. It can't be helped. Let's go, Konoha."

They went out of the gate, towards the road. Konoha moved with light steps and Haruaki scratched his head.
Fear was letting out a fierce snort as she watched their backs disappear from her vision. When she felt that they were gone, she let out a deep sigh.
She sat down in front of the door.
It was silent. Everything around her was unmoving. The wooden ornament above the shoe rack. The patterns on the wooden ceiling. The mirror on the wall. The Calendar besides it.
She felt that the cold silence of those inanimate objects welcomed her---As if they knew that she used to be an inanimate object just like them.

She embraced her knees and slightly bowed her head. She looked at her silver hair as she observed it sliding between her knees, while she whispered with an empty voice.

"Fool... Did you really have to leave me alone...?"

<span style="font-size: 300%; border: "><center>* * *</center></span>

He was used to taking up weird passengers. It was natural since he worked in a place where different people come and go. He was a taxi driver stationed in front of the airport.
In the past, he had black passengers who used the word FUCK in almost every sentense they used. He also had chinese people who carried imitations of popular game consoles. He
even had a passengers of Japanese family who asked to be brought to a forest or swamp where no one else lived. If he were to think back about every passenger he had, it would
take forever.
But---This passenger was the weirdest among all the passengers he had.
The driver moved his eye over the back mirror to check again at the lady passenger he picked up earlier.
She was a blonde caucasian beauty who wore an elegant gown. That was normal. But, other than that, everything else about her was strange. Too strange. He wondered
how she was able to board a public plane wearing THAT thing.

"I have this feeling that I am being watched."

The woman who mouthed a thin cigarette spoke in a fluent japanese while she kept her view toward the window. He wondered if the woman was intentionally ignoring the "No Smoking"
sign on the glass. The woman shrugged, and faint sound of creaking metal echoed.

"Er, excuse me, miss...?"

"Oh. Not you too."

Who else was she talking about? There wasn't anyone else in the taxi but them two. The driver trembled lightly as he taught about his passenger looking more ominous as the
time passed by.
There was still some distance from the hotel that they were heading for. The driver thought that he had to make a lighter atmosphere for both of them. After all, she was still
a customer despite her eerie impression.

"You speak Japanese language very well. I've had many passengers from different countries but you're the most---"

"Weirdest passenger?"

The driver felt as if an icicle passed through his body, from his mouth out to his anus. Somehow, he was able to regain his composure and replied.

"Aside from the fact that you're the best Japanese language speaker among the passengers that I've had, you're also the, um---most beautiful, ma'am."

"Hmm. I wonder if all the taxi drivers in this country are all educated about etiquette. I say it is just what you may expect from Japan, the polite country. It is indeed a
great thing."

It seemed that the driver answered right. He calmed down a bit hearing the soft laughter coming from his passenger.

"It's not just a flattery, ma'am, not at all."

"Haha, I don't really mind if it was a flattery. My favorite author said in one of his books that 'You should bear in mind that lie is the key to every happiness,
benefit, reputation, and wealth.'---It is an anti-social statement though."

"Er, never heard of it before, ma'am... I suppose he's a foreign author?"

"Indeed. Duke Jonathan Alphonse Francois de Sade is known for his anti-socialism."

After the passenger explained that to the driver, she started to laugh again. The driver wondered what was so funny.

"Did you come here to Japan for a vacation?"

"Unfortunately, no. It is about a matter concerning my work."

"I see that you're dedicated to your work, ma'am. May I ask about your occupation?"

The strange beauty raised her face, looked at the driver through the back mirror, and smiled.
That moment when the driver's eye met the passenger's, all the calm that he accumulated during their recent conversations vanished.
A strong need to get far away as soon as possible from this passenger made the driver kick the accelerator hard.
It was, after all, just as he thought. There was no way that woman having that kind of eyes is sane. Those eyes filled with cold disdain, as if it was used to looking down upon
the people around her...

"Oh, my work? I came here for a little trash-cleaning."

<span style="font-size: 300%; border: "><center>* * *</center></span>

A few hours had passed since Fear was left alone in the house. She quickly lost interest in watching television.

"Phew, I have nothing else to do... ."

It was the same word that she said yesterday. A thought suddenly came into her mind. If she was bored inside the house, She should go outside.
She wore the sandals that was left on the porch and walked around the garden.

"....boring."

Fear walked around the outside of the house few times, making a wry face. The outer building of the house where Konoha was staying came into her view. The ground floor was
covered with silver shutter. She thought that it was a garage or something. Her eyes went up to the second floor window, and she remembered what happened this morning.

"Er what can I say...Isn't Haruaki being a little bit biased to that cowtits? That shameless brat...I also don't like the fact that cowtits got her own proper room while I have
none. Talk about being unfair. Doesn't he even think that I also have things that I wanted to do? He always say 'Don't do this' and 'Don't do that'..."

She mumbled complaints and started to walk back toward the main house---but stopped.

"Oh yeah, he didn't say that I shouldn't do THAT. Hmm, I suppose there's no problem with me doing THAT so he didn't mention anything about it. Yes, it must be so."

Fear nodded to herself. But, there was one little problem.

"So, what should I do now...?"

Fear looked up at the sky and tried to think about what she had to do. The next moment, she realized that the answer was simple. She grinned.

She looked up again at the outer building. There she saw the vast sky...and the little window on the second floor of the outer building, peeking from the corner of her eyes.

Taizo came back from his trip to the nearest vending machine to buy their drinks since he lost in the rock-scissors-paper game. But, he came back without carrying any
juice, shadowed by his dark expression. Haruaki who was having his lunch with the usual members looked up to ask Taizo what happened.

"Is there a problem, Taizo?"

"Hey, Haruaki... I know it's not good. But I can't help myself---I know that this line is too cliched to use nowadays...But, I just have to say it! Tell me, Haruaki, can
I say the words that are meant to be said in a situation like this?!"

"W-What are you saying...?"

Haruaki sent Taizo a blank stare. Suddenly, Taizo grabbed Haruaki by his neck.

"Why! Is it! Always you!"

"Argh, Ergh?! What do you think you're doing, idiot! Tell me what happened!"

"Ask that to yourself, Bastard! Aren't you contented with Konoha-san?!"

"I'm telling you, I don't know what you're talking ab---ooooooooogh!"

"Eeew! Gross!"

"Hey, Yachi! Something came out from your mouth!"

Haruaki forgot to apologize to Kana and Kirika. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right at that moment.
It was---a silver-haired head peeking out from the room's rear door.

"Hey you over there! Didn't you say you'll tell me where...Ah, so there you are."

Fear approached him with a self-possessed calm. For some reason, she was wearing a school uniform.

"Hehehe. I came here just as you wished, Haruaki."

Fear held her head high and told Haruaki triumphantly---When the atmosphere in the classroom became tense.

"Fear?! What are you doing here?!"

"You're asking me why I'm here. Well, you didn't say that I shouldn't go out or shouldn't come here. So, that means I can go to any place I want to."

"I didn't tell you anything because I thought that it was obviou---argh!"

Kana who was sitting beside Haruaki grabbed his head and pressed it against his lunch box. Kana used that as a force to stand up, her eyes shining bright with interest.
She went beside Fear and started hugging her.

"Wow! She's so beautiful! How cute!"

"Er, woman. Stop touching me."

"Oh, I love how you speak! So, your name's Fear, huh? Where did you come from? What kind of relationship do you have with Akki...uh, I mean, Haruaki-kun?"

[[Image:C3 01-065.jpg|thumb]]
"What kind of relationship, you say....I wonder too. Basically, I live in his house."

"Are-you-two-living-together?!"

"My old man! I mean, she's the daughter of my old man's friend that he made abroad! That's why I have to take care of her in place of my old man!"

"Hmm... So you two are staying in the same house. Looks like...there are some things that needs to be confirmed. As the class representative, of course."

Kirika stood up with strange vigor. Soon, all the other people in the class started to gather around them.
Haruaki dropped his shoulder in defeat. He just gave Fear a look that said she musn't say anything unnecessary. Fear just nodded.
It seemed that people around them thought that Fear was a girl who came from abroad visiting the school because she had nothing much to do.
Needless to say, news about Fear quickly spread outside Haruaki's class.

"H-hey?!"

Haruaki looked at the direction where that voice came from and saw pale-faced Konoha staring at Fear.
She must have been on her way back to her class from the school's shop since she was carrying a handful of sandwiches.

"Why is she...?"

"She came here by herself. I'm going to lose my consciousness now. I'll leave the rest to you, Konoha..."

"What do you want me to do?!"

That moment when Konoha entered the room, a boy left the circle forming around Fear. It was Taizo who changed his attitude as he saw Konoha coming to their room.

"K-Konoha-san! W-Welcome to our room! Our room's kind of sordid since half of us are guys but I hope you won't mind! So, what can I do for you?"

Konoha answered his question with a polite smile.
An idea came to her mind.

"Um, I was planning to have my lunch with Haruaki-kun... and since there's also Fear-san, I would have liked to eat with her too but as you can see, there are too many people so..."

Taizo moved to break the circle surrounding Fear just as Konoha expected him to.
He ignored all the boo-ings coming from the crowd and proceeded to sending them away.
Konoha smiled her thanks and Taizo turned back, making a guts pose. Haruaki thought that he's a type who'd be tricked by a woman in the future.

"Hm---Oh, it's you. You needn't have come here."

Konoha moved her lips without making a sound. She said, "You're the one who shouldn't have come".

"Come on, get some more tables. Two more."

"Ah, hey Taizo, we're not..."

"Huh? You guys aren't gonna eat with us? Is there going to be a problem if I and Kana are present?"

"A lunch, is it. Sounds good to me. I found a lunch box back at the house so I stuffed some food in it."

Fear answered without any pretense. It would sound strange now to force that they're not going to have lunch with them.
But, if that was the case, Haruaki needed to remind Fear of some important things before they proceed to having lunch together.

"I'm gonna buy some drinks for us while we tour her around the school. C'mon Konoha, let's go."

"Yes, I'm coming now. Um, can you please hold these for me?"

Konoha handed Taizo the three pork cutlet sandwiches that she was holding, then started to follow Haruaki.
Stares directed at Fear kept coming even when they were passing through the corridor---but, that can be ignored for now.

"You there, what were you thinking coming here all of a sudden?"

"Huh? I already told you that I came here because you didn't say that I can't come here, haven't I? Well, there's also the fact that I didn't have anything to do in the house.
Besides, it would be unfair if this woman can attend school while I'd just be staying at home."

"It's not like I started to attend school right after I became human..."

"Really...I should have told you clearly that you can't go out yet since you still lack much of common knowledges."

"Why you! Didn't you hear earlier that I was having a normal conversation with the people in your class?"

"I'm sorry to inform you that I almost had a heart attack while you were talking to them since I was afraid that you'd say something that you shouldn't. Let's just leave
that topic. What's important now is that you should keep your setting that you don't know much about Japan since you just came here. If there was a question that you don't
know how to answer, just shut up, smile, then shake your head. That's the Japanese way of solving problems."

Haruaki bought some drinks at the vending machine in front of the shoe racks. Fear observed Haruaki, seeing something unusual for her.
Konoha spoke to Fear while she was busy checking the vending machine.

"I was wondering since you came here... Where did you get that uniform you're wearing?"

"It's obvious who's uniform this is. The waist and the chest parts are too big and wide for me. You should get some weight off you."

"Y-you dared to violate my room?! Don't you know the difference between things that you could and shouldn't do?!"

Konoha drew her face near Fear's and glared. Fear just bent her mouth into a cool smile.

"Oh...So you think you can say that to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Listen Haruaki, I found a really gaudy underwear in her top drawer and---"

"No! No! No! I wasn't quite myself when I bought that!"

"What are you two fussing about? We should go back now. I already bought the drinks."

Haruaki started to walk, and looked down at Fear.

"I heard some of your conversations...You should know that entering one's room without permission is against the manners."

"Hmph, it can't be helped. I at least know that one can't enter school without wearing a uniform. Besides, I was able to come here because I asked people where is the school
using this uniform."

"Weren't you supposed to give up coming here at the point that you didn't have any uniform...?"

"By the way, how did you enter my room? I locked the door properly."

"....? What do you mean? I just entered by the window like anyone else would."

"That's strange. I remember locking the window also...Wait. D-don't tell me you...?!"

Fear made a "V" sign with her hands against Konoha, who froze up in outrage.

"That's right. I broke it."

Konoha staggered, as if she was standing on the balls of her feet. Haruaki let out a soul-escaping sigh. He didn't want to think who will pay for the glass' repair.

===Chapter Eight: The meaning of the Smile===


Saito woke up in Mister Colbert’s room. Laying down on the table, he was covered by a blanket. It seemed that the one who put the blanket on him was Mister Colbert, who was in bed, asleep.

It seems Saito fell asleep before he noticed it. Streams of the morning light shone through the window. 

"Now I remember. Yesterday, I was so tired from crying that I fell asleep."While thinking that, Saito stared at the display of his notebook computer. It seemed like the power supply had been taken off.

I was thinking about asking Mister Colbert to reconnect my notebook to the electricity, but decided against it. 

I memorized it last time, so I am able to recall it..., so it is not necessary to do it for a second time.

From the window, he gazed up at the sky.

Somehow, this world was connected to Earth, one way or another.

What could it be that connected these two worlds together?

Looking at the fact that tank and aircraft could come to this world, it should be normal for an electro-magnetic waves to enter. 

"Ah, that seems to be the case." Saito looked around absent-mindedly as he thought that.

"After all, I was a weak man." He thought.

I have comrades, so I think I can do something, since that's the situation I can accept if one way or another, to live in this world. Nevertheless, when I read the mail, I am suddenly overcome by the feelings of homesickness.

Described in simple words, I am a weak man.

It can't be helped since I suddenly read the mail. thinking this Saito left his notebook computer behind in Mister Colbert’s room.

Saito felt depressed.
While he trudged through the corridor he muttered.

"Tomorrow will be a troublesome day. The three year anniversary of the coronation of the pope..., My spirit must not be like this."

At any rate, my mood must be kept hidden from Louise.

I don't want her to get depressed again.

I should be thinking about the immediate danger first. Saito positively thought.

Okay, Let's hide this depressed face of mine. While forcibly doing that, Saito opened the door to the living room.

"Louise, forgive me for not coming back yesterday. I was drinking with Mr. Colbert in his room and collapsed..."

Louise was sitting in the chair looking at the mirror. But it seems that she wasn't going to scold Saito. Instead she smiled back, almost like a trap.

"Good morning."

Louise’s sudden smile, surprised him.

"What the...? What with your clothes......"

"Eh, this? Last evening, I went out to buy this."

Louise wasn’t her usual Tristain academy uniform, But a cute blouse with short deep blue silk skirt, and a red ribbon which seemingly leap in the collar. (no idea about the last part)

"Why?"

Saito being amazed, asked? From all the days today is. No, even if is this is a joke in Romalia's great cathedral. Saito still couldn't understand the reason.

"Oh I understand, for tomorrow’s ceremony isn't it? But, is it okay to be wearing that?"

Then Louise smiled pleasantly and said.

"No, for the sake to be going to town to buy things with you today."

"Мe, why?"

"In the town, there is a festival for the celebration of her holiness the pope’s third anniversary. In noble society there are festivals, here in street it seems like they have festivals too. Now, I want to go to the festival with you."

"But tomorrow......, shouldn't be we use time we have today to prepare ourselves?"

"No it's okay. Doing practice right now would not change the result, an effortless action. Besides, sometimes, relaxation is an important too."

Looking innocent, Louise grabbed Saito’s arm.

"Okay, let's go?"

In the end attracted by Louise’s unusually cute behavior, Saito was going to town. Louise was glued to Saito’s arm. What, something wrong? He turned for a moment to Louise. Louise only smiled back.

As expected, I have(had) a bad feeling about this.
Saito asked Louise.

"Hey Louise?"

"Yes."

"What are you scheming?"

But Louise was, kyahaha, laughing.

Kyahaha? Louise was laughing? Saito's head was full of questions, jerkily Louise remained glued to Saito arm.

"I'm not scheming anything."

"Lie!"

"It's not a lie. Honestly, for today I just want to take a stroll with you through town. That's all."

Looking at it from all sides her smile was not a scheming smile. Still, there is something hidden, Saito though. Then Louise pointed something.

"Eh that's right, for today I will listen for anything you request."

"Huh?"

"Really I'm serious. So, don't be polite, okay?"

Smiling and leaning to him. Saito felt more and more suspicious. For the sake of testing, he said.

"Then, show me your underpants."

He thought he was going to be kicked, so he prepared for that.

But, neither kick, punch, nor magic attack was launched. Instead, Louise shyly began to slowly lift up her skirt.

"Okay."

It's been a while since I last saw Louise's underpants. He thought.

She doesn't seem to be angry.

Meaning..? “Hey, this is the middle of the street, there’s a lot of people here.” Saito said while furiously trying stop her.

"Stop it, People can see that."

With a smile, Louise returned the skirt to it’s original position.

Too suspicious.

Is this really the real Louise?

Could it be that someone transformed her?

Right, for example, Myozunitonirun’s magical tool...

Saito though, that was an acting. The tension began to get higher with his next words.

"Ah, then, Allow me to touch your breast."

"Go ahead."

Louise nodded almost instantly, with a smiling face.

"Ok, then I will not hold back."

Gulp, Saito swallowed his saliva and began to touch her small breast. Rustle, rustle. (I guess that this is the sound being made, don’t know where to put it)

Even with her small breasts, touching her there, Saito’s tension began to raise. ( I have no idea what to replace tension with)

When he looked back at her, she was still smiling brightly. A face with a color of happiness. Prepared for death, Saito started to shake. If this is the real Louise, let's try that. He thought.

"И..., is this a breast?"(not sure what the И means)

"Yes, that's right."

she positively nodded with a smile.

This was absolutely not Louise! another thing!

"Nah, too small, compared to Tiffania."

"It's okay with me."

That instant Saito jumped, took posture. (?)

"Who or what are you!"

"Just like I keep saying, I am me. Please believe me."

"Why you aren't angry?"

"Because, that's...."

She hesitantly said those words, and when she figured out something, she raised her face.

"Yes! You see, tomorrow there’s going to be a fierce battle. The enemy seems to be Myozunitonirun, right? So this is some kind of reward! yes that's it!"

Seems enjoyed it, Louise said that. (?)

You would normally, even in a situation such as this, object.

In the end, Louise seems to have changed her way of thinking. Perhaps because the noble pride within her, and the princess. Saito had an reached understanding.

"You want to touch more?"
"..."
"it’s alright! Go ahead! Believe me! Please!"
"..."
"Thank you."

For the ninth time, she smiled again. O well, if she is enjoying this the I should too. Saito thought. This leisureous situation, is not a reckless action. Besides, there is possibility one of us may be lost tomorrow. Anyhow,however bad the situation turns out to be we will survive.

Tomorrow is, the commemoration of pope’s coronation, things are busy in this Romalian street. Of course, it shouldn't differ too much with the festivals usually held in Tristania.

As expected of the street stalls and the performances, the atmosphere here feels busy. Even in Romalia, in every place around here, pilgrims can be seen crowding merchants. The various goods brought by them were put in the front of the stall.

Louise was stood in front of clothes shelves that was showed in the front of a stall. Doing her best to search for something.

"What, do you really want scarf that much?, I will buy it for you, so go ahead to choose something better."

Even with that said, Louise only shook her head. And then determined to choose a plain scarf, she requested this one.

"...Hey Louise, what do you plan to do with a scarf of that color?"

The scarf’s color didn’t fit with women's tastes. A black one, with lattice pattern embroidery. But Louise just answered by shaking her head.

"See this black color, it suits you."

"What, did you buy that for me?"

"Yes"

Louise smiled sweetly.

"Could it be that you somehow accidentally drank a love potion again?"

"That's not it. It's okay don't mind me. Like I said a reward."

I see, so this is a reward too, Saito murmured.

For the time being for today I will accompany Louise, Saito thought.

Saito and Louise loitered around the street. Around noon, priests went out too to drink and sung war song with their comrades in arms.

The impression that I had, when first entering this place, though it's quite strict, it is still not too different with other town in Halkeginia. In the middle, was dance party provided by a band using of flute and drum to perform.

Louise pulled Saito. Bring him to the center.

"Let's dance."

With Cheerful rhythm accompanying them . Louise and Saito danced. A pleasant want(waltz). Louise was dancing, and Saito was trying to follow her lead.

After they were satisfied they went to the tavern that they were chased into by the Templar knights.

When they entered the tavern, the table was replaced by high class looking sparkling one. Seems the money Kirche gave as compensation was quite sufficient to repair all the damage. The window, and stand counter had been replaced with a glass one.

This tavern was really different from the previous one. The one that stood right now was a first class tavern.

The shopkeeper too was wearing first class brand new polished clothes. When he saw the two of them, he threw a smiled.

When they entered, the shopkeeper recognized Louise and Saito. And looked awkward.

Until this time many trouble has been happened(?). He grinned at Saito and without saying anything the shopkeeper started to send foods one by one to both of them.

And then he whispered silently to Saito ear.

"I will be dependent on you for the next year too."

Meanwhile, Louise was still smiling.

When the food has been served in the table, Louise offered some soup to Saito.

"Еh?"

Б, a----a・(?, maybe aah( as in say aah))

With Louise started to say that, Saito still felt little troubled. Even if this was a reward. It's still too much.

"Hey Louise, please tell me the truth, I won't get angry. Did you by accident, destroy the zero fighter. So you are trying to make me feel better."

"That's not it, for today, I wanted to look cute. I want you to see the cute side of me. Please believe me, that’s the only reason."

When he heard that he was dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything. Looking happy, Louise just smiled.

Once again, they walked through town, Louise gazed at Saito, and lightly said "let's go there"

"Hey let's kiss" She said.

[[Image:ZnT13-244.jpg|thumb]]
"Еh? Right here?"

Something outrageous had been said, even her face looked shy. Is it possible she wants to do that in a place where there are less people. Looking flustered, Louise suddenly started to push Saito into the nearest alley.

After, she fixed her gaze on Saito's face, and stood there on her tippy toes. Full of passion the two of them pressed their lips together. It was a deep kiss.

For a moment, they pressed each other’s lips together, after satisfying themselves the two of them separated. Once again Louise showed him an extraordinary smile.

Saito could not understand the meaning behind her smiles, but Saito too tried to smiles back vaguely.

while the two of them were walking, Saito would take a peek at Louise, when she would noticed that. She would return a smile, a very lovely one. In the end they continued walking. Saito thought, for Louise, he would do anything to protect her.

But it couldn't be helped, sometimes he would remember his mother’s face. When that happened his chest would hurt.

"Something wrong?"

"Nothing at all, don't mind me."

The instant that happened, Saito forced a smile. Cooling his head.(?)

Full heartedly, the two of them spent their time together, when the night drew near they returned to the room. In the end Saito, was with her the whole day. Calmly thinking, from whatever aspect, it was too suspicious.

"Here drink some water, you must be tired?"

Louise poured water into a cup, and gave it to Saito. After taking a breath he drank it, Saito asked.

"Hey Louise!"

"Yes"

".....You see, I’m still wondering, why are you smiling so much?"

"Can't I?"

Once more Louise smiled a sweet smile.

"its very strange you know!, As long as I remember this whole year you only smiled twice! However, today you smiled 72 times."

"I'm very happy you counted. Thank you."

Once again, she smiled. An angelic smile, a lovely smile.

"That's why I will smile continuously this last minute."

"What?"

"Оnly twice a year huh. But from now on, the time we could spend together, twenty years, forty years?, or even fifty years....., I would smile whenever I could."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know, I won’t smile again for the rest of my life."

Even with her smiles still surfacing, tears began to flow down Louise face.

"Louise?"

"For the rest of my life I won't be loved by anyone anymore. But you must not be like me, Please love whoever, anyone you love. Just like me, you can watch over that person, from your world."

Tears continued to flow and made lines on her cheeks from her eyes to her chin. That kind of form.(Huh, I don’t get that last part)

"Еh?, What?"

Having said that, Saito suddenly became very drowsy.

"Еh?"

It is Magic. But the moment he noticed that, the magic had already taken effect.

"Louise... you.... the water before...."

Loosing strength, Louise hugged Saito, touched his face with her hands, Pressed her lips against his.

Strength completely left Saito’s body.

The water before, just like as Saito said, a sleeping potion had been put in beforehand.

While gently embracing Saito, Louise whispered,

"Good bye my gentle person......, Good bye my chevalier(knight)."

Hick. (sounds of crying from Louise)

After embracing Saito for a while, she put Saito in the bed. After a moment, she stood up.

"...It's okay now."

A moment after that, the door behind her opened, Julio was standing there with smile surfacing on his face.

"Are you really sure about this?"

With no expression, Louise nodded.

"Yes, for the sake of Saito too, to open the [Door world]."

"Then for that sake too, you will......"

"With all my pleasure, I will give you my cooperation. Whether to capture Myozunirum, or to take back the holy land....., All of it. Not only that. For the sake of Halkeginia’s ideals, I will give my life, my void ability and my noble status."

Julio nodded.

"Seems like a saint has been born. Then, let's go immediately. We will explain, the modification to our plain for tomorrow since he won't be here anymore."

Just a moment before she left the room, Louise turned her head once more. Endless tears still flowed on her cheeks. Wiping those tears, Louise whispered,

"Good bye my most important person in the world."

Zero no Tsukaima:Volume12 Prologue

2008-12-24T06:57:55Z

Timer17:

== Volume 12 prologue ==
=== Translation by SeiryuuChan ===

Magic academy, Alvis dining hall.
In Tristain Magic Academy, it was a custom for young nobles who commutes here to eat here during morning, noon, evening of three meals times a day.
A week has been passed since the day when Henrietta requested to bring Tiffania from Albion.

Henceforth, it's only natural for Saito group just like the other days to eat breakfast here in the table provided for third year students.

The long dining hall table, If we see it from the entrance, we can see three separates table rows. In the left side for third year students, in the middle for second year students, in the right side for first year students.

“She is really popular.“

Saito stopped the movement of the knife just when he was about to cut the meat, with light ignorant voice replied.

“What? Popular?”

Immediately sit in front of him was Guiche, whose eyes wide-eyed turning. Surrounding the two of them, all member of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit is assembled. It is still daytime but most of them has been drank. Saito and Guiche whose eyes turned red were facing the same direction .

At that direction......, a figure of dazzling fairy with golden hair and slender charming body, however her facial expression signing she was quite bewildered.

It was Tiffania.

With Henrietta as mediator, about one month needed to take care of the admission so Tiffania could enlisted as first year class in this school. Soon a single rumor had wide-spread among academy peoples in this academy.

Not to mention, the result of mixing of elf blood and Albion royal blood made her beautiful face more dazzling like a fined art.

Of course......., both of her bloodline were concealed. The few ones who knew her true colors are Henrietta, principle Osman, Saito, Louise. Including, Tabitha, Kirche, and Guiche. Outside this circle, none are knew about this secret.

The two secrets which wrapped Tiffania, one side of the secret peoples could figured out by just looking....., to conceal that, she put a hat to cover her ears.

The truth is by putting that appearance, she would be forbidden to participated in class. But Tiffania with such ostensible reason “her body is extremely week tothe sun ray”, permission has been granted wear hat indoor. “If sunlight reached her fragile skin from the window her skin will be sunburned”, that's the reason Henrietta as Tiffania guardian comes up in front of principles Osman, teachers staff, and students.

Naturally, no one would be tricked by this lie, no doubt about it.

However........, even any noble girl students would retreat if confronted by the chance Tiffania white skin were to be sunburned. Whoever has seen tiffania white skin, would also thought this girl could not resist sun ray.

Like a flickering faint blueish moon light, that flickering does not suit with her unbalances body, added with the rumours that she is some outstanding Albion nobles......

With those three characteristics, an unknown fascinating aura seems emanating from her. Surrounding Tiffania was couples of boy students who have fallen completely to her.
Tiffania body covered with magic academy uniform, ten guys with their eyes color changed was surrounding him like a group of ants which crowding over a candy.

“She is popular, to be more precise highly popular.”

Absentmindedly opened his mouth while gazing at Tiffania, Guiche muttered.
[[Image:ZnT12-015.jpg|300px|thumb|]]
“Those guys, what could be in their mind. Their action seems like a servant to a princess.”
In the right seat beside Guiche, who bear the same duty as member of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit, Renard. While raised his glasses replied.
I see, it's just like Renard said.
Not only blueish clothes of 1st years, but brownish clothes of second year, and dark mantle of 3rd year can be seen around.
To those guys, Tiffania was a tea which drank in one gulp and requested another one to be filled, Tiffania was an smörgåsbord that if eaten could make yourselves to continue devour it, or Tiffania was a meat whose someone hand reach for in and cut to the last piece, or some kind like that..
Tiffania was troubled. Not less than ten persons of waiter alike attitude simultaneously offered his services to this golden haired beauty, competing bluntly by showing each other special talents. That is the complicated circumstances where one can't say a words carelessly, this stalemate is continued.

The crowded boys students eyes were focused at some visual points, her transparent white skin, her outrageous beauty face, and one another point that were moving right now.
When that part was moved, Guiche feeling overflowed.

“You know, since returns from the Albion trip, I always thinking deeply. There's only one conclusion that can be reached”.

Just left of Guiche was Malicorne, whose lips outer edge is raising, surfacing a nihilist smile.

“Guiche, Please let this windward hears your conclusion.”
　
Like a class debate, full of confidence wtih his opinion with excellent expression tone, Guiche replied.

“Very well, the result of my conclusion. That Tiffania lady breasts, the true shape of those two round object, that made half of world populations insane, it is magic weapons”.
“So you mean, half of world populations meaning .......”
“You are a man. Aren't you?”
(insert image here)
Malicorne placing a finger in his chin thought deeply. A few moments later, seriously opened his mouth.
“Weapon in other words, you mean lust for sex?” / pursues sexual meaning
“No doubt, it is lust for sex.”　
Saito who was watching The foolishness of the two also nodded as if agreeing “it is reasonable”.
“You are genius, Guiche.”
“Even so this is just a half assed conclusion. My hypothesis, still need to be proven.”
Gulp, Guiche swallowed a whole wine cup.
“Now, come!”
“Bang, Guiche stood. Malicorne too made a grand gesture raise. Now are granted an audience with her Majesty, that kind of act. The two began arranging their appearance.” 　
The two fools nodded showed sign of readiness, slowly approaching the table of 1st year students. 　
Renard is asking Saito.
“Those two, what could be in their minds?”
“Intoxicated with stupidness. Leave them for the time being!”
All members of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit watching Guiche and Malicorne with worried face.
Like a drunken man, the two make a way pushed off the 1st year students that were swarmed around Tiffania. Defense squad of 3rd years students was throwing complain, while 1st years students keep their mouth shut. Their formation were scattered, the path to Tiffania has been completed.
Guiche and Malicorne, walked over the path warped straight to the breast.
Guiche stood beside Tiffania, Filled with nervous furthermore felt inferior, she was bowed deeply.
The next instant “that” was happened.
Without saying, to the double raging magic weapons Guiche ....... hand reach the breast. Felt distortion Tiffania expression sharpened. That instant, the dining hall atmosphere suddenly froze.
“That idiot.”
Saito stood up.
But the next seconds, Guiche body was wrapped by a huge waterspout that suddenly materialized. Resembled an underwater flower. In the middle of the waterspout, Guiche body is wriggling. Look further behind, as usual Montmorentcy stood. Expressionlessly swinging her staff.
Zerrt. The air inside the dining hall frozen. The waterspout synchronizing with the movement of the staff, she bring it outside.

A dining hall scenery couldn't be felt anymore, as if couldn't transformed to a dead space, Waterspout then sounding burst. The next seconds, a voice was vibrating, Guiche screamed.
“Wait, I just want to make sure!, because that thing if being seen, my science curiosity accumulated, it's become bigger, bigger, and bigger until the point I can't resist it! I! Uaa! whuarrgI!”
Swing swing, a large amount of water assault reached Saito ears.
Like a raging water sound, continued to raging......, after a while the hall turned silent.
Saito leak a sigh, once again help the foods. To that Saito, Renard whispered.
“Incomprehensible isn't it?”
“I think it's the usual them, getting drunk and going crazy........ touched anything ahead, until feel satisfied.”
“That's not what I mean, I'm talking about you.”
“Me?”
Saito looking blankly, he was starring Renard.
“The usual you would be accompany them.”
“About making sure whether Tiffania breast was real or not?, If I do that extent, wasn't I an Idiot. Don't put me in the same class as them.”
Renard was fixing his glasses, starred at Saito.
something out of ordinary, didn't you want to make sure......, like your hand were itching and you were being uncomfortable in your seat so you attempted to fixed your waist, something like that.
It's Sharped, Renard analysis.
“Event though you are like that, what's wrong. With that attitude of you.....”
“Whatever just eat, it's going to cold”
Saito put up a cool face, starting to ear the food. The next instant......, several girls gathered, surrounded Saito. The first on list was the 2nd year Katie. The rest of them, was a flock of first year girls.
“Sir Saito!, Would you mind to eat this pudding as your dessert?”.
The pudding was made from milk and fruits utilizing cold magic, make it appetizingly cool and delicious. With clear composed attitude, “Thank you”, Saito nodded received the gift.
Each members of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit were watching Saito, their face filled with enviousness.
“Saito is really dignified, I mean it.”
“That does not like it.”
With light affectionate attitude, Saito mimicking Guiche, grouped his feet. But even with that appearance, create an oblate illusion in the girls mind to the extent make them cheering.
“Coool!, after all sir Saito is big different than sir Guiche.”
Katie, with cold eyes throwed a glance at Guiche direction.
“That's not it. I'm not change at all. You might say, it's just them turned fools. Ahhahaha.”
As if being in trance, the girls continue starred at Saito.
“Really......, Sir Saito is really a wonderful person.”
“It's not only that. But also super powerful.”
“That's right!, Somehow a person who could stopped Albion army by himself alone.”
Being fully absorbed, Katie said that.
“If it's Sir Saito, even that rascal Sky Armored Knight Corps would be beaten completely!.”
“I see Katie, do you hate that knights from Kreudenhorve house too?”
A question was asked to that girl, Katie.
“Of course, because that group always followed me whenever I take a stroll, to the place I usually goes!. Do you want to pick a flower?, What a kind of talk is that!.“
“What a rascal!”
“I agreed!, It is Big different with with Sir Saito!” (possibility of incorrect translation)
Kyaa kyaa, that was the commotion created by the crowd of girls.
Being starred like that, Saito was thinking.
Composure is important After all.
Not guts, but composure attitude, like felt like a flower which being sucked by a bees (girls).
Ahh, had I ever experienced this breeze mood before?
Siesta once cheers kyaa kyaa, but......, that's not too often.
Large number of girls, yelled kyaa kyaa. This sensation yet, make one feeling filled with happiness.....
Louise magic, “The reason to come here” when I was under that influence, this kind of reality won't make me feeling enjoy. The encouragement from the flock of girls, would like distant sounds, that kind of circumstances. This could be a hallucination.... . But see, I'm a simple minded person..................
Whatever it will turned out, for now better enjoy it to the fullest.
Only sound of “kyaa” resounding from the girls voice, sweet internal secretion fluid in the brain penetrating.
While the the still sound vibrates kyaa kyaa, Saito peek a glance at Louise table. There, Louise face can be seen clearly, she continue to eat breakfast.
However he knew....., once in a while she peek this way with glittering eyes. With the same glittering eyes, once in a while Louise boisterously use the fork to serve the plate.
Saito nasal cavity widen, absorbed a lot sense of superiority in his chest.
Now, now.
Now is the time to finish what have left, on that ship.
He whispered that words inside his mind.
Now let's stop for a moment, why Saito feeling victorious like this?.
Whats with the real intention of “Composure is important” that Saito declared?.
What could be the meaning of cat like attitude that Louise acted?
The answer from all of that, lies in the the return trip from Albion, on that ship there exist the root of misunderstanding.

During the journey from Albion, on that ship that Saito rides....., inside that certain cabin, pressed against Louise lips.

Transmitted the feeling to Louise, it was a hot kiss.
Even this few heat was straining, they were exchanging kiss each other, naturally of course Saito hand reach to Louise. Louise state is quite burned, consequently because of that she was reaching his hand.
That was Saito judgment.

But instead, when Louise was laid down looking embarrassed,......, she was turned down Saito reaching hand. And with silent vanishing tone muttered something.

“......That's why, I don't want.”
Saito was hurt by that rejection. He couldn't believe, even you were this heat, why?. This is the Saito inner talking.
“W, wh, why?”
Louise reacting by shouted with anger
“I won't repeat it for the second time.”
Actually Louise said that reacted against the Kirche sound that slipped from the room just beside.
“What's the matter? Louise.”
“No, nothing!”
Somehow, this indecisive situation was ended, …......the sweet atmosphere that was drifting along had gone to somewhere, Their face is looking each other, with each other face dyed red they slip to the bed.
A moment later, closed the eyes the were sleeping.

That time, Saito didn't notice....., Louise was not actually means to reject Saito.
Only, the place chosen was not suitable.
The words Louise uttered with small tone before was lost, the first parts of the words did not reach Saito ears.
“...That's why, I don't want to.”
The word just before that, “Because inside the ship” actually existed.
“Because inside the ship......, I don't want.”
Louise once said that.
It doesn't really means, she was rejecting Saito.
However....., Saito was feeling down already, he did not notice that, on the bed inside that cabin room, Louise words was echoed several times, the hard to understand conclusion flies away.
Love of both of us should be enough.
Certainly, Louise feeling directing towards me.
But still......., in the end her high pride did not permitted it, I'm sure of it.
What I supposed to do?.
Suddenly that instant....., An idea come flashed in Saito mind.
The time when Louise wore black cat clothes being recalled.
I see now, Louise is a cat from all side.
Large fluid of tears transformed to small object spinning in his eyes, just like trifling with Saito on a whim.
Now, for cat, to tame that animal, what's supposed to do?.
I know.
Cat, when it noticed we draw closer, it ran.
And then it eyes clearly disregard us.
That's totally Louise alike.
Then, what about if we ignored it, what will happens?
When that happened cat is, first it will observed situation......, Even so it would continue to ignored, eventually it will become impatient and drawing closer.
In the end, sounding meong meong, cuddle its face against us...........
This is it, this is it!
In the middle of the bed it is the only conclusion comes to his mind, he was merely nodded.
Li li, no licking, you insolent cheeky pink haired girl.......... whose make fun on a whim ...... The moment when you cuddle your face against me, Huhuhu, I will catch the scruff your neck. Huhu, I expecting that moment.
The conclusion is, that was the only thought in the bottom of Saito mind.
For now, let's utterly ignored Saito whose hold tight his paranoid misunderstanding. In the midnight of the day after return from Albion, Louise whose looking charming entered the bath, she thoroughly wash her body. After that she proceeded to the altar room and did a long long confession to Founder Brimir.
Founder brimir....., before marriage, that's, how should I say it, the thing that shouldn't be said, that's, what's it called, I mean, the thing I want to do, that's, please forgive me, but because it's not I can't help it, that fellow for sure, I won't forgive it if the other woman, I mean, no seriously, helpless against the empty brain maid, or, once acting strange with the respective princess, or lose him self to the strange breast of half elf woman whose been here lately or maybe not, true, not only to the woman that have comparatively nice body, even to the small blue haired princess of Galia, I mean, it's not he really have the feeling to that woman, but between 1000 to 1 chance, it does not matter small or big anymore, just the dangerous objects has increased, in any case that's the situation, please forgive me. Amen.
The confession somehow confusing, somehow spit out words that doesn't make sense, Louise right hand and left foot that moved simultaneously was entered the room. 　
What kind of expression Saito will show I wonder. I wonder if he nervous, while thinking that she entered the room. However her familiar attitude instead is quite calm, he is drinking a tea.
Even though I'm greeting this special night with tense, his attitude doesn't changed. On the contrary, with eyes narrowed, “Yo, Louise. Isn't tonight a bright night”, he said that incomprehensible words.
What's with that?, Louise entered the bed with that thought.
Next, followed by Saito.
Next, followed by the maid.
Why in this room there are three persons, without me noticing it this bed engraved a stream of characters for sleep. It has became a habit completely.
Louise quite tense, as if being in trance. But, it's still too soon. Saito himself is not an idiot. Until Siesta fall asleep, that what is it, I have to act that, after thought that, with all might she was feigning sleep.
Soon, Siesta sleeping breath can be heard.
Louise nervous reach it's peek. She was quite tense, grasp the blanked tightly, bite it as if wanting to rip.
Next calmly......, Saito hand is placed on Louise shoulder.
Shiver shiver, her whole body was trembled.
“........Idiot, Si, Siesta is still her, see. Despite that to your master you re, re reach your hand. What could be you thinking”
Beyond doubt, Louise speak with small voice. I thought be we will go to somewhere private such as warehouse. No I mean as expected some good room ideal room. However, In this bed just next to the Siesta that was sleeping. How could this familiar be so bold!
She was surprised, but it's not about Siesta, it's about the over helming superiority sense in Louise because his hand reach to her. Louise heart was overflowed.
Even though it's just next to Siesta.........
Even though the maid just beside......
Despite this foolish maid beside! Is! here!
That's right maid.
How dare you until now......, well whatever....., the victory......., is mine?. With this this is my winning!
But, as I thought to do that in front of the other girl....somehow.
Haa.
That instant Saito hand slip into the center of Louise negligee, her moaning voice was leaked through her throat. Louise mind inside filled with white.
Although the maid is here! Even though the maid is here, despite the main is here......., pyun!
Saito hand moved daringly, rolled the negligee exposed Louise thin breast. Louise eyes was closed, her face dyed red. Both her breath and her pulse run rough.
At this rate, I couldn't think straight much longer.
But I can still think one reasoning......, the pulse beating fast in my heart, this is the first time I feel it.
Saito not yet Said anything from his mouth but, many kind of imagination speak have been drifted along in Louise mind.
Could it be the orthodox one, “I will treat you gently”.
Or perhaps, “Don't be afraid?”.
What could it be. Hey you, what will you said at this time. I can't think. It must be the words she will said to me. “Let's forget ourselves in this moment. The embarrassment just don't forget the sensation. Ah, I can't thing…....
However......, the first words slip from Saito mouth was,
“Gu.....”
Louise expectation could even exceed the soar of fire dragon mountain.
What just said just now?
Was that a sleeping breath?
No, that couldn't be.......
“Guu guu”.
His natural sleeping breath can be heard. Louise turned impatient.
Did he fall asleep?, why?
She hold Saito hand that slipped in her breast to make sure. No response at all. On the contrary, the hand swiftly fell from the center of her negligee.
“Uhh, uh”.
Louise turned with fearful anger.
In that direction he found Saito sleeping face. His face filled with happiness, wasn't a droll just dripped from his mouth?.

Louise face turns blue, at thhe same time reddened. The other side of her lips is raising. leaked the sound “ku ku”.
Should we punished him with death.
Will it suffice, the standard death punishment.
What should it be?.
Despite all preparation has been made, despite this cute master just lying beside. Putting a sleeping breath is really something.
She get the staff. For the time being let's convert to ash. But after though that.
Hhhh. Perhaps he's really tired......,
With futon covered Louise closed her eyes. Quite a sleepless night began.
The next day, Louise was thinking. After all....., do that just beside the sleeping maid is unpleasant. Feel like being in another person room.......that kind of feeling. Of course that applies to nobles too.
Therefore Louise was, when Saito muttered “It's time to sleep” and then fell to bed, Stood awkwardly from the chair.
“W, wa, wa”
“Wa?”
“Walk, I think I will take walk for sometime!”
“How refined. Tonight is quite cold. You'll be going to catch a cold”.
Saito laughed, when he utters that nonsense. Being gone too far to step back, Louise slipped out wearing negligee.
She was waited for two hours, but Saito didn't came. When she come back to the room....., his mouth opened widely, sleeping. Today too, let's turned to ash. Instinctively hold tightly her staff but a sense return to his mind.
Perhaps he is really tired. For sure.
The next day, Louise once again took a stroll. This time she waited for four hours, but Saito still didn't come. When returned to the room, Saito was crawling on the bed with a deep sleeping breath.

The same thing happened the next day.
For three consecutive days, Louise stubbornly taken a stroll.
After waiting for a long time, Saito really didn't come. So to kill her time Louise took a tree branch and sketched some drawing on the ground. The content of the drawing, the thickheaded Saito was kneeling before this wonderful noble Miss Valleriere asking for forgiveness.
When the morning came. The drawing has turned to an artistic masterpiece.
Gradually this has become a habit, the next morning Louise took a stroll too.

Still, Saito didn't come.
Half crying, Louise began to draw some sketch, the subject of the sketch was the idiot familiar being judged by the noble Miss Valleriere herself, he was swiftly being hanged. When the morning arrive, the sketch has became an epic tale.

This consecutive event, happened for the whole one week.

Between these interval, Louise sketch added day by day, Saito in the center of the sketch twenty two times being whipped, twenty times being hanged, eight times throw to the hell, four times being reincarnated as insect to be trampled by Louise.
At this rate Louise anger has reach it's peak, she barely keeping his sanity, and then chilling exposure covering Louise.
Nevertheless, the thing is just a thing, she can't showed that face of anger. .
Because Louise pride that more solid than diamond won't permitted it.
Suppress the anger with her last power, Louise was trembling, shivering, and his face turned blue. Meanwhile Saito made comment “my goodness”.
But the fact instead was the complete opposite. The way Saito behave was indicated he did not notice at all.
Saito thickheaded is the genuine one.

== Volume 12 prologue ==
=== Translation by SeiryuuChan ===

Magic academy, Alvis dining hall.
In Tristain Magic Academy, it was a custom for young nobles who commutes here to eat here during morning, noon, evening of three meals times a day.
A week has been passed since the day when Henrietta requested to bring Tiffania from Albion.

Henceforth, it's only natural for Saito group just like the other days to eat breakfast here in the table provided for third year students.

The long dining hall table, If we see it from the entrance, we can see three separates table rows. In the left side for third year students, in the middle for second year students, in the right side for first year students.

“She is really popular.“

Saito stopped the movement of the knife just when he was about to cut the meat, with light ignorant voice replied.

“What? Popular?”

Immediately sit in front of him was Guiche, whose eyes wide-eyed turning. Surrounding the two of them, all member of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit is assembled. It is still daytime but most of them has been drank. Saito and Guiche whose eyes turned red were facing the same direction .

At that direction......, a figure of dazzling fairy with golden hair and slender charming body, however her facial expression signing she was quite bewildered.

It was Tiffania.

With Henrietta as mediator, about one month needed to take care of the admission so Tiffania could enlisted as first year class in this school. Soon a single rumor had wide-spread among academy peoples in this academy.

Not to mention, the result of mixing of elf blood and Albion royal blood made her beautiful face more dazzling like a fined art.

Of course......., both of her bloodline were concealed. The few ones who knew her true colors are Henrietta, principle Osman, Saito, Louise. Including, Tabitha, Kirche, and Guiche. Outside this circle, none are knew about this secret.

The two secrets which wrapped Tiffania, one side of the secret peoples could figured out by just looking....., to conceal that, she put a hat to cover her ears.

The truth is by putting that appearance, she would be forbidden to participated in class. But Tiffania with such ostensible reason “her body is extremely week tothe sun ray”, permission has been granted wear hat indoor. “If sunlight reached her fragile skin from the window her skin will be sunburned”, that's the reason Henrietta as Tiffania guardian comes up in front of principles Osman, teachers staff, and students.

Naturally, no one would be tricked by this lie, no doubt about it.

However........, even any noble girl students would retreat if confronted by the chance Tiffania white skin were to be sunburned. Whoever has seen tiffania white skin, would also thought this girl could not resist sun ray.

Like a flickering faint blueish moon light, that flickering does not suit with her unbalances body, added with the rumours that she is some outstanding Albion nobles......

With those three characteristics, an unknown fascinating aura seems emanating from her. Surrounding Tiffania was couples of boy students who have fallen completely to her.
Tiffania body covered with magic academy uniform, ten guys with their eyes color changed was surrounding him like a group of ants which crowding over a candy.

“She is popular, to be more precise highly popular.”

Absentmindedly opened his mouth while gazing at Tiffania, Guiche muttered.

“Those guys, what could be in their mind. Their action seems like a servant to a princess.”
In the right seat beside Guiche, who bear the same duty as member of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit, Renard. While raised his glasses replied.
I see, it's just like Renard said.
Not only blueish clothes of 1st years, but brownish clothes of second year, and dark mantle of 3rd year can be seen around.
To those guys, Tiffania was a tea which drank in one gulp and requested another one to be filled, Tiffania was an smörgåsbord that if eaten could make yourselves to continue devour it, or Tiffania was a meat whose someone hand reach for in and cut to the last piece, or some kind like that..
Tiffania was troubled. Not less than ten persons of waiter alike attitude simultaneously offered his services to this golden haired beauty, competing bluntly by showing each other special talents. That is the complicated circumstances where one can't say a words carelessly, this stalemate is continued.

The crowded boys students eyes were focused at some visual points, her transparent white skin, her outrageous beauty face, and one another point that were moving right now.
When that part was moved, Guiche feeling overflowed.

“You know, since returns from the Albion trip, I always thinking deeply. There's only one conclusion that can be reached”.

Just left of Guiche was Malicorne, whose lips outer edge is raising, surfacing a nihilist smile.

“Guiche, Please let this windward hears your conclusion.”
　
Like a class debate, full of confidence wtih his opinion with excellent expression tone, Guiche replied.

“Very well, the result of my conclusion. That Tiffania lady breasts, the true shape of those two round object, that made half of world populations insane, it is magic weapons”.
“So you mean, half of world populations meaning .......”
“You are a man. Aren't you?”
(insert image here)
Malicorne placing a finger in his chin thought deeply. A few moments later, seriously opened his mouth.
“Weapon in other words, you mean lust for sex?” / pursues sexual meaning
“No doubt, it is lust for sex.”　
Saito who was watching The foolishness of the two also nodded as if agreeing “it is reasonable”.
“You are genius, Guiche.”
“Even so this is just a half assed conclusion. My hypothesis, still need to be proven.”
Gulp, Guiche swallowed a whole wine cup.
“Now, come!”
“Bang, Guiche stood. Malicorne too made a grand gesture raise. Now are granted an audience with her Majesty, that kind of act. The two began arranging their appearance.” 　
The two fools nodded showed sign of readiness, slowly approaching the table of 1st year students. 　
Renard is asking Saito.
“Those two, what could be in their minds?”
“Intoxicated with stupidness. Leave them for the time being!”
All members of Knight Corps of the Water Spirit watching Guiche and Malicorne with worried face.
Like a drunken man, the two make a way pushed off the 1st year students that were swarmed around Tiffania. Defense squad of 3rd years students was throwing complain, while 1st years students keep their mouth shut. Their formation were scattered, the path to Tiffania has been completed.
Guiche and Malicorne, walked over the path warped straight to the breast.
Guiche stood beside Tiffania, Filled with nervous furthermore felt inferior, she was bowed deeply.
The next instant “that” was happened.
Without saying, to the double raging magic weapons Guiche ....... hand reach the breast. Felt distortion Tiffania expression sharpened. That instant, the dining hall atmosphere suddenly froze.
“That idiot.”
Saito stood up.
But the next seconds, Guiche body was wrapped by a huge waterspout that suddenly materialized. Resembled an underwater flower. In the middle of the waterspout, Guiche body is wriggling. Look further behind, as usual Montmorentcy stood. Expressionlessly swinging her staff.
Zerrt. The air inside the dining hall frozen. The waterspout synchronizing with the movement of the staff, she bring it outside.

A dining hall scenery couldn't be felt anymore, as if couldn't transformed to a dead space, Waterspout then sounding burst. The next seconds, a voice was vibrating, Guiche screamed.
“Wait, I just want to make sure!, because that thing if being seen, my science curiosity accumulated, it's become bigger, bigger, and bigger until the point I can't resist it! I! Uaa! whuarrgI!”
Swing swing, a large amount of water assault reached Saito ears.
Like a raging water sound, continued to raging......, after a while the hall turned silent.
Saito leak a sigh, once again help the foods. To that Saito, Renard whispered.
“Incomprehensible isn't it?”
“I think it's the usual them, getting drunk and going crazy........ touched anything ahead, until feel satisfied.”
“That's not what I mean, I'm talking about you.”
“Me?”
Saito looking blankly, he was starring Renard.
“The usual you would be accompany them.”
“About making sure whether Tiffania breast was real or not?, If I do that extent, wasn't I an Idiot. Don't put me in the same class as them.”
Renard was fixing his glasses, starred at Saito.
something out of ordinary, didn't you want to make sure......, like your hand were itching and you were being uncomfortable in your seat so you attempted to fixed your waist, something like that.
It's Sharped, Renard analysis.
“Event though you are like that, what's wrong. With that attitude of you.....”
“Whatever just eat, it's going to cold”
Saito put up a cool face, starting to ear the food. The next instant......, several girls gathered, surrounded Saito. The first on list was the 2nd year Katie. The rest of them, was a flock of first year girls.
“Sir Saito!, Would you mind to eat this pudding as your dessert?”.
The pudding was made from milk and fruits utilizing cold magic, make it appetizingly cool and delicious. With clear composed attitude, “Thank you”, Saito nodded received the gift.

As if being in trance, the girls continue starred at Saito.
“Really......, Sir Saito is really a wonderful person.”
“It's not only that. But also super powerful.”
“That's right!, Somehow a person who could stopped Albion army by himself alone.”
Being fully absorbed, Katie said that.
“If it's Sir Saito, even that rascal Sky Armored Knight Corps would be beaten completely!.”
“I see Katie, do you hate that knights from Kreudenhorve house too?”
A question was asked to that girl, Katie.
“Of course, because that group always followed me whenever I take a stroll, to the place I usually goes!. Do you want to pick a flower?, What a kind of talk is that!.“
“What a rascal!”
“I agreed!, It is Big different with with Sir Saito!” (possibility of incorrect translation)
Kyaa kyaa, that was the commotion created by the crowd of girls.
Being starred like that, Saito was thinking.
Composure is important After all.
Not guts, but composure attitude, like felt like a flower which being sucked by a bees (girls).
Ahh, had I ever experienced this breeze mood before?
Siesta once cheers kyaa kyaa, but......, that's not too often.
Large number of girls, yelled kyaa kyaa. This sensation yet, make one feeling filled with happiness.....
Louise magic, “The reason to come here” when I was under that influence, this kind of reality won't make me feeling enjoy. The encouragement from the flock of girls, would like distant sounds, that kind of circumstances. This could be a hallucination.... . But see, I'm a simple minded person..................
Whatever it will turned out, for now better enjoy it to the fullest.
Only sound of “kyaa” resounding from the girls voice, sweet internal secretion fluid in the brain penetrating.
While the the still sound vibrates kyaa kyaa, Saito peek a glance at Louise table. There, Louise face can be seen clearly, she continue to eat breakfast.
However he knew....., once in a while she peek this way with glittering eyes. With the same glittering eyes, once in a while Louise boisterously use the fork to serve the plate.

Then, what about if we ignored it, what will happens?
When that happened cat is, first it will observed situation......, Even so it would continue to ignored, eventually it will become impatient and drawing closer.
In the end, sounding meong meong, cuddle its face against us...........
This is it, this is it!
In the middle of the bed it is the only conclusion comes to his mind, he was merely nodded.
Li li, no licking, you insolent cheeky pink haired girl.......... whose make fun on a whim ...... The moment when you cuddle your face against me, Huhuhu, I will catch the scruff your neck. Huhu, I expecting that moment.
The conclusion is, that was the only thought in the bottom of Saito mind.
For now, let's utterly ignored Saito whose hold tight his paranoid misunderstanding. In the midnight of the day after return from Albion, Louise whose looking charming entered the bath, she thoroughly wash her body. After that she proceeded to the altar room and did a long long confession to Founder Brimir.
Founder brimir....., before marriage, that's, how should I say it, the thing that shouldn't be said, that's, what's it called, I mean, the thing I want to do, that's, please forgive me, but because it's not I can't help it, that fellow for sure, I won't forgive it if the other woman, I mean, no seriously, helpless against the empty brain maid, or, once acting strange with the respective princess, or lose him self to the strange breast of half elf woman whose been here lately or maybe not, true, not only to the woman that have comparatively nice body, even to the small blue haired princess of Galia, I mean, it's not he really have the feeling to that woman, but between 1000 to 1 chance, it does not matter small or big anymore, just the dangerous objects has increased, in any case that's the situation, please forgive me. Amen.
The confession somehow confusing, somehow spit out words that doesn't make sense, Louise right hand and left foot that moved simultaneously was entered the room. 　
What kind of expression Saito will show I wonder. I wonder if he nervous, while thinking that she entered the room. However her familiar attitude instead is quite calm, he is drinking a tea.
Even though I'm greeting this special night with tense, his attitude doesn't changed. On the contrary, with eyes narrowed, “Yo, Louise. Isn't tonight a bright night”, he said that incomprehensible words.
What's with that?, Louise entered the bed with that thought.
Next, followed by Saito.
Next, followed by the maid.
Why in this room there are three persons, without me noticing it this bed engraved a stream of characters for sleep. It has became a habit completely.
Louise quite tense, as if being in trance. But, it's still too soon. Saito himself is not an idiot. Until Siesta fall asleep, that what is it, I have to act that, after thought that, with all might she was feigning sleep.
Soon, Siesta sleeping breath can be heard.
Louise nervous reach it's peek. She was quite tense, grasp the blanked tightly, bite it as if wanting to rip.
Next calmly......, Saito hand is placed on Louise shoulder.
Shiver shiver, her whole body was trembled.
“........Idiot, Si, Siesta is still her, see. Despite that to your master you re, re reach your hand. What could be you thinking”
Beyond doubt, Louise speak with small voice. I thought be we will go to somewhere private such as warehouse. No I mean as expected some good room ideal room. However, In this bed just next to the Siesta that was sleeping. How could this familiar be so bold!
She was surprised, but it's not about Siesta, it's about the over helming superiority sense in Louise because his hand reach to her. Louise heart was overflowed.
Even though it's just next to Siesta.........
Even though the maid just beside......
Despite this foolish maid beside! Is! here!
That's right maid.
How dare you until now......, well whatever....., the victory......., is mine?. With this this is my winning!
But, as I thought to do that in front of the other girl....somehow.
Haa.
That instant Saito hand slip into the center of Louise negligee, her moaning voice was leaked through her throat. Louise mind inside filled with white.
Although the maid is here! Even though the maid is here, despite the main is here......., pyun!
Saito hand moved daringly, rolled the negligee exposed Louise thin breast. Louise eyes was closed, her face dyed red. Both her breath and her pulse run rough.
At this rate, I couldn't think straight much longer.
But I can still think one reasoning......, the pulse beating fast in my heart, this is the first time I feel it.
Saito not yet Said anything from his mouth but, many kind of imagination speak have been drifted along in Louise mind.
Could it be the orthodox one, “I will treat you gently”.
Or perhaps, “Don't be afraid?”.
What could it be. Hey you, what will you said at this time. I can't think. It must be the words she will said to me. “Let's forget ourselves in this moment. The embarrassment just don't forget the sensation. Ah, I can't thing…....
However......, the first words slip from Saito mouth was,
“Gu.....”
Louise expectation could even exceed the soar of fire dragon mountain.
What just said just now?
Was that a sleeping breath?
No, that couldn't be.......
“Guu guu”.
His natural sleeping breath can be heard. Louise turned impatient.
Did he fall asleep?, why?
She hold Saito hand that slipped in her breast to make sure. No response at all. On the contrary, the hand swiftly fell from the center of her negligee.
“Uhh, uh”.
Louise turned with fearful anger.
In that direction he found Saito sleeping face. His face filled with happiness, wasn't a droll just dripped from his mouth?.

Louise face turns blue, at thhe same time reddened. The other side of her lips is raising. leaked the sound “ku ku”.
Should we punished him with death.
Will it suffice, the standard death punishment.
What should it be?.
Despite all preparation has been made, despite this cute master just lying beside. Putting a sleeping breath is really something.
She get the staff. For the time being let's convert to ash. But after though that.
Hhhh. Perhaps he's really tired......,
With futon covered Louise closed her eyes. Quite a sleepless night began.
The next day, Louise was thinking. After all....., do that just beside the sleeping maid is unpleasant. Feel like being in another person room.......that kind of feeling. Of course that applies to nobles too.
Therefore Louise was, when Saito muttered “It's time to sleep” and then fell to bed, Stood awkwardly from the chair.
“W, wa, wa”
“Wa?”
“Walk, I think I will take walk for sometime!”
“How refined. Tonight is quite cold. You'll be going to catch a cold”.
Saito laughed, when he utters that nonsense. Being gone too far to step back, Louise slipped out wearing negligee.
She was waited for two hours, but Saito didn't came. When she come back to the room....., his mouth opened widely, sleeping. Today too, let's turned to ash. Instinctively hold tightly her staff but a sense return to his mind.
Perhaps he is really tired. For sure.
The next day, Louise once again took a stroll. This time she waited for four hours, but Saito still didn't come. When returned to the room, Saito was crawling on the bed with a deep sleeping breath.

The same thing happened the next day.
For three consecutive days, Louise stubbornly taken a stroll.
After waiting for a long time, Saito really didn't come. So to kill her time Louise took a tree branch and sketched some drawing on the ground. The content of the drawing, the thickheaded Saito was kneeling before this wonderful noble Miss Valleriere asking for forgiveness.
When the morning came. The drawing has turned to an artistic masterpiece.
Gradually this has become a habit, the next morning Louise took a stroll too.

Still, Saito didn't come.
Half crying, Louise began to draw some sketch, the subject of the sketch was the idiot familiar being judged by the noble Miss Valleriere herself, he was swiftly being hanged. When the morning arrive, the sketch has became an epic tale.

This consecutive event, happened for the whole one week.

Between these interval, Louise sketch added day by day, Saito in the center of the sketch twenty two times being whipped, twenty times being hanged, eight times throw to the hell, four times being reincarnated as insect to be trampled by Louise.
At this rate Louise anger has reach it's peak, she barely keeping his sanity, and then chilling exposure covering Louise.
Nevertheless, the thing is just a thing, she can't showed that face of anger. .
Because Louise pride that more solid than diamond won't permitted it.
Suppress the anger with her last power, Louise was trembling, shivering, and his face turned blue. Meanwhile Saito made comment “my goodness”.
But the fact instead was the complete opposite. The way Saito behave was indicated he did not notice at all.
Saito thickheaded is the genuine one.

===Chapter 8, The meaning of the Smile===
====translation by: SeiryuuChan====

Saito woke up in Mister Colbert’s room. Laying down on the table, he was covered by a blanket. It seemed that the one who put the blanket on him was Mister Colbert, who was in bed, asleep.

It seems Saito fell asleep before he noticed it. Streams of the morning light shone through the window. 

"Now I remember. Yesterday, I was so tired from crying that I fell asleep."While thinking that, Saito stared at the display of his notebook computer. It seemed like the power supply had been taken off.

I was thinking about asking Mister Colbert to reconnect my notebook to the electricity, but decided against it. 

I memorized it last time, so I am able to recall it..., so it is not necessary to do it for a second time.

From the window, he gazed up at the sky.

Somehow, this world was connected to Earth, one way or another.

What could it be that connected these two worlds together?

Looking at the fact that tank and aircraft could come to this world, it should be normal for an electro-magnetic waves to enter. 

"Ah, that seems to be the case." Saito looked around absent-mindedly as he thought that.

"After all, I was a weak man." He thought.

I have comrades, so I think I can do something, since that's the situation I can accept if one way or another, to live in this world. Nevertheless, when I read the mail, I am suddenly overcome by the feelings of homesickness.

Described in simple words, I am a weak man.

It can't be helped since I suddenly read the mail. thinking this Saito left his notebook computer behind in Mister Colbert’s room.

Saito felt depressed.
While he trudged through the corridor he muttered.

"Tomorrow will be a troublesome day. The three year anniversary of the coronation of the pope..., My spirit must not be like this."

At any rate, my mood must be kept hidden from Louise.

I don't want her to get depressed again.

I should be thinking about the immediate danger first. Saito positively thought.

Okay, Let's hide this depressed face of mine. While forcibly doing that, Saito opened the door to the living room.

"Louise, forgive me for not coming back yesterday. I was drinking with Mr. Colbert in his room and collapsed..."

Louise was sitting in the chair looking at the mirror. But it seems that she wasn't going to scold Saito. Instead she smiled back, almost like a trap.

"Good morning."

Louise’s sudden smile, surprised him.

"What the...? What with your clothes......"

"Eh, this? Last evening, I went out to buy this."

Louise wasn’t her usual Tristain academy uniform, But a cute blouse with short deep blue silk skirt, and a red ribbon which seemingly leap in the collar. (no idea about the last part)

"Why?"

Saito being amazed, asked? From all the days today is. No, even if is this is a joke in Romalia's great cathedral. Saito still couldn't understand the reason.

"Oh I understand, for tomorrow’s ceremony isn't it? But, is it okay to be wearing that?"

Then Louise smiled pleasantly and said.

"No, for the sake to be going to town to buy things with you today."

"Мe, why?"

"In the town, there is a festival for the celebration of his holiness the pope’s third anniversary. In noble society there are festivals, here in street it seems like they have festivals too. Now, I want to go to the festival with you."

"But tomorrow......, shouldn't be we use time we have today to prepare ourselves?"

"No it's okay. Doing practice right now would not change the result, an effortless action. Besides, sometimes, relaxation is an important too."

Looking innocent, Louise grabbed Saito’s arm.

"Okay, let's go?"

In the end attracted by Louise’s unusually cute behavior, Saito was going to town. Louise was glued to Saito’s arm. What, something wrong? He turned for a moment to Louise. Louise only smiled back.

As expected, I have(had) a bad feeling about this.
Saito asked Louise.

"Hey Louise?"

"Yes."

"What are you scheming?"

But Louise was, kyahaha, laughing.

Kyahaha? Louise was laughing? Saito's head was full of questions, jerkily Louise remained glued to Saito arm.

"I'm not scheming anything."

"Lie!"

"It's not a lie. Honestly, for today I just want to take a stroll with you through town. That's all."

Looking at it from all sides her smile was not a scheming smile. Still, there is something hidden, Saito though. Then Louise pointed something.

"Eh that's right, for today I will listen for anything you request."

"Huh?"

"Really I'm serious. So, don't be polite, okay?"

Smiling and leaning to him. Saito felt more and more suspicious. For the sake of testing, he said.

"Then, show me your underpants."

He thought he was going to be kicked, so he prepared for that.

But, neither kick, punch, nor magic attack was launched. Instead, Louise shyly began to slowly lift up her skirt.

"Okay."

It's been a while since I last saw Louise's underpants. He thought.

She doesn't seem to be angry.

Meaning..? “Hey, this is the middle of the street, there’s a lot of people here.” Saito said while furiously trying stop her.

"Stop it, People can see that."

With a smile, Louise returned the skirt to it’s original position.

Too suspicious.

Is this really the real Louise?

Could it be that someone transformed her?

Right, for example, Myozunitonirun’s magical tool...

Saito though, that was an acting. The tension began to get higher with his next words.

"Ah, then, Allow me to touch your breast."

"Go ahead."

Louise nodded almost instantly, with a smiling face.

"Ok, then I will not hold back."

Gulp, Saito swallowed his saliva and began to touch her small breast. Rustle, rustle. (I guess that this is the sound being made, don’t know where to put it)

Even with her small breasts, touching her there, Saito’s tension began to raise. ( I have no idea what to replace tension with)

When he looked back at her, she was still smiling brightly. A face with a color of happiness. Prepared for death, Saito started to shake. If this is the real Louise, let's try that. He thought.

"И..., is this a breast?"(not sure what the И means)

"Yes, that's right."

she positively nodded with a smile.

This was absolutely not Louise! another thing!

"Nah, too small, compared to Tiffania."

"It's okay with me."

That instant Saito jumped, took posture. (?)

"Who or what are you!"

"Just like I keep saying, I am me. Please believe me."

"Why you aren't angry?"

"Because, that's...."

She hesitantly said those words, and when she figured out something, she raised her face.

"Yes! You see, tomorrow there’s going to be a fierce battle. The enemy seems to be Myozunitonirun, right? So this is some kind of reward! yes that's it!"

Seems enjoyed it, Louise said that. (?)

You would normally, even in a situation such as this, object.

In the end, Louise seems to have changed her way of thinking. Perhaps because the noble pride within her, and the princess. Saito had an reached understanding.

"You want to touch more?"
"..."
"it’s alright! Go ahead! Believe me! Please!"
"..."
"Thank you."

For the ninth time, she smiled again. O well, if she is enjoying this the I should too. Saito thought. This leisureous situation, is not a reckless action. Besides, there is possibility one of us may be lost tomorrow. Anyhow,however bad the situation turns out to be we will survive.

Tomorrow is, the commemoration of pope’s coronation, things are busy in this Romalian street. Of course, it shouldn't differ too much with the festivals usually held in Tristania.

As expected of the street stalls and the performances, the atmosphere here feels busy. Even in Romalia, in every place around here, pilgrims can be seen crowding merchants. The various goods brought by them were put in the front of the stall.

Louise was stood in front of clothes shelves that was showed in the front of a stall. Doing her best to search for something.

"What, do you really want scarf that much?, I will buy it for you, so go ahead to choose something better."

Even with that said, Louise only shook her head. And then determined to choose a plain scarf, she requested this one.

"...Hey Louise, what do you plan to do with a scarf of that color?"

The scarf’s color didn’t fit with women's tastes. A black one, with lattice pattern embroidery. But Louise just answered by shaking her head.

"See this black color, it suits you."

"What, did you buy that for me?"

"Yes"

Louise smiled sweetly.

"Could it be that you somehow accidentally drank a love potion again?"

"That's not it. It's okay don't mind me. Like I said a reward."

I see, so this is a reward too, Saito murmured.

For the time being for today I will accompany Louise, Saito thought.

Saito and Louise loitered around the street. Around noon, priests went out too to drink and sung war song with their comrades in arms.

The impression that I had, when first entering this place, though it's quite strict, it is still not too different with other town in Halkeginia. In the middle, was dance party provided by a band using of flute and drum to perform.

Louise pulled Saito. Bring him to the center.

"Let's dance."

With Cheerful rhythm accompanying them . Louise and Saito danced. A pleasant want(waltz). Louise was dancing, and Saito was trying to follow her lead.

After they were satisfied they went to the tavern that they were chased into by the Templar knights.

When they entered the tavern, the table was replaced by high class looking sparkling one. Seems the money Kirche gave as compensation was quite sufficient to repair all the damage. The window, and stand counter had been replaced with a glass one.

This tavern was really different from the previous one. The one that stood right now was a first class tavern.

The shopkeeper too was wearing first class brand new polished clothes. When he saw the two of them, he threw a smiled.

When they entered, the shopkeeper recognized Louise and Saito. And looked awkward.

Until this time many trouble has been happened(?). He grinned at Saito and without saying anything the shopkeeper started to send foods one by one to both of them.

And then he whispered silently to Saito ear.

"I will be dependent on you for the next year too."

Meanwhile, Louise was still smiling.

When the food has been served in the table, Louise offered some soup to Saito.

"Еh?"

Б, a----a・(?, maybe aah( as in say aah))

With Louise started to say that, Saito still felt little troubled. Even if this was a reward. It's still too much.

"Hey Louise, please tell me the truth, I won't get angry. Did you by accident, destroy the zero fighter. So you are trying to make me feel better."

"That's not it, for today, I wanted to look cute. I want you to see the cute side of me. Please believe me, that’s the only reason."

When he heard that he was dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything. Looking happy, Louise just smiled.

Once again, they walked through town, Louise gazed at Saito, and lightly said "let's go there"

"Hey let's kiss" She said.
[[Image:ZnT13-244.jpg|300px|thumb|she fixed her gaze on Saito's face, and stood there on her tippy toes. Full of passion the two pressed their lips together.]]
"Еh? Right here?"

Something outrageous had been said, even her face looked shy. Is it possible she wants to do that in a place where there are less people. Looking flustered, Louise suddenly started to push Saito into the nearest alley.

After, she fixed her gaze on Saito's face, and stood there on her tippy toes. Full of passion the two of them pressed their lips together. It was a deep kiss.

For a moment, they pressed each other’s lips together, after satisfying themselves the two of them separated. Once again Louise showed him an extraordinary smile.

Saito could not understand the meaning behind her smiles, but Saito too tried to smiles back vaguely.

while the two of them were walking, Saito would take a peek at Louise, when she would noticed that. She would return a smile, a very lovely one. In the end they continued walking. Saito thought, for Louise, he would do anything to protect her.

But it couldn't be helped, sometimes he would remember his mother’s face. When that happened his chest would hurt.

"Something wrong?"

"Nothing at all, don't mind me."

The instant that happened, Saito forced a smile. Cooling his head.(?)

Full heartedly, the two of them spent their time together, when the night drew near they returned to the room. In the end Saito, was with her the whole day. Calmly thinking, from whatever aspect, it was too suspicious.

"Here drink some water, you must be tired?"

Louise poured water into a cup, and gave it to Saito. After taking a breath he drank it, Saito asked.

"Hey Louise!"

"Yes"

".....You see, I’m still wondering, why are you smiling so much?"

"Can't I?"

Once more Louise smiled a sweet smile.

"its very strange you know!, As long as I remember this whole year you only smiled twice! However, today you smiled 72 times."

"I'm very happy you counted. Thank you."

Once again, she smiled. An angelic smile, a lovely smile.

"That's why I will smile continuously this last minute."

"What?"

"Оnly twice a year huh. But from now on, the time we could spend together, twenty years, forty years?, or even fifty years....., I would smile whenever I could."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know, I won’t smile again for the rest of my life."

Even with her smiles still surfacing, tears began to flow down Louise face.

"Louise?"

"For the rest of my life I won't be loved by anyone anymore. But you must not be like me, Please love whoever, anyone you love. Just like me, you can watch over that person, from your world."

Tears continued to flow and made lines on her cheeks from her eyes to her chin. That kind of form.(Huh, I don’t get that last part)

"Еh?, What?"

Having said that, Saito suddenly became very drowsy.

"Еh?"

It is Magic. But the moment he noticed that, the magic had already taken effect.

"Louise... you.... the water before...."

Loosing strength, Louise hugged Saito, touched his face with her hands, Pressed her lips against his.

Strength completely left Saito’s body.

The water before, just like as Saito said, a sleeping potion had been put in beforehand.

While gently embracing Saito, Louise whispered.

"Good bye my gentle person......, Good bye my chevalier(knight)."

Hick. (sounds of crying from Louise)

After embracing Saito for a while, she put Saito in the bed. After a moment. She stood up.

"...It's okay now."

A moment after that, The door in behind opened, Julio was standing there with smile surfacing in his face.

"Are you really sure about this?"

With no expression, Louise nodded.

"Yes, for the sake of Saito too, to open the [Door world]."

"Then for that sake too, you will......"

"With all my pleasure, I will give you my cooperation. Whether to capture Myozunirum, or to take back the holy land....., All of it. Not only that. For the sake of Halkeginia’s ideals, I will give my life, my void ability and my noble status."

Julio nodded.

"Seems like a saint has been born. Then, let's go immediately. We will explain, the modification to our plain for tomorrow since he won't be here anymore."

Just a moment before she left the room, Louise turned her head once more. Endless tears still flowed on her cheeks, weeping those tears Louise whispered.

"good bye my most important person in the world."

"I will be dependent on you for the next year too."

Meanwhile, Louise was still smiling.

When the food has been served in the table, Louise offered some soup to Saito.

"Еh?"

Б, a----a・(?, maybe aah( as in say aah))

With Louise started to say that, Saito still felt little troubled. Even if this was a reward. It's still too much.

"Hey Louise, please tell me the truth, I won't get angry. Did you by accident, destroy the zero fighter. So you tried to make me feel better."

"That's not it, for today, I wanted to look cute. I want you to see the cute side of me. Please believe me, that’s the only that reason."

When he heard that he was dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything. Looking happy, Louise just smiled.

Once again, they walked through town, Louise gazed at Saito, and lightly said "let's go there"

"Hey let's kiss" She said.

"Еh? Right here?"

Something outrageous had been said, even her face looked shy. Is it possible she wants to do that in a place where there are less people. Looking flustered, Louise suddenly started to push Saito into the nearest alley.

After, she fixed her gaze on Saito face, and stood there on her tippy toes. Full of passion the two of them pressed their lips together. It was a deep kiss.

For a moment, they pressed each other’s lips together, after satisfying themselves the two of them separated. Once again Louise showed him an extraordinary smile.

Saito could not understand the meaning behind her smiles, but Saito too tried to smiles back vaguely.

while the two of them were walking, Saito would take a peek at Louise, and she would noticed that. She would return a smile, a very lovely one. In the end they continued walking. Saito thought, for Louise, he would do anything to protect her.

But it couldn't be helped, sometimes he would remember his mother’s face. When that happened his chest would hurt.

"Something wrong?"

"Nothing at all, don't mind me."

The instant that happened, Saito forced a smile. Cooling his head.(?)

Full heartedly, the two of them spent their time together, when the night drew near they returned to the room. In the end Saito, was with her the whole day. Calmly thinking, from whatever aspect, it was too suspicious.

"Here drink water, you must be tired?"

Louise poured water to a cup, and gave it to Saito. After taking a breath he drank it, Saito asked.

"Hey Louise!"

"Yes"

".....You see, I’m still wondering, why are you smiling so much?"

"Can't I?"

Once more Louise smiled a sweet smile.

"its very strange you know!, As long as I remember this whole year you only smiled twice! However, today you smiled 72 times."

"I'm very happy you counted. Thank you."

Once again, she smiled. An angelic smile, a lovely smile.

"That's why I will smile continuously this last minute."

"What?"

"Оnly twice a year huh. But from now on, the time we could spend together, twenty years, forty years?, or even fifty years....., I would smile whenever I could."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know, I won’t smile again for the rest of my life."

Even with her smiles still surfacing, tears began to flow down Louise face.

"Louise?"

For the rest of my life I won't be loved by anyone anymore. But you must not be like me, Please love whoever, anyone you love. Just like me, you can watch over that person, from your world.・

Tears continued to flow and made lines on her cheeks from her eyes to her chin. That kind of form.(Huh, I don’t get that last part)

"Еh?, What?"

Having said that, Saito suddenly became very drowsy.

"Еh?"

It is Magic. But the moment he noticed that, the magic had already taken effect.

"Louise... you.... the water before...."

Loosing strength, Louise hugged Saito, touched his face with her hands, Pressed her lips against his.

Strength completely left Saito’s body.

The water before, just like as Saito said, a sleeping potion had been put in beforehand.

While gently embracing Saito, Louise whispered.

"Good bye my gentle person......, Good bye my chevalier(knight)."

Hick. (sounds of crying from Louise)

After embracing Saito for a while, she put Saito in the bed. After a moment. She stood up.

"...It's okay now."

A moment after that, The door in behind opened, Julio was standing there with smile surfacing in his face.

"Are you really sure about this?"

With no expression, Louise nodded.

"Yes, for the sake of Saito too, to open the [Door world]."

"Then for that sake too, you will......"

"With all my pleasure, I will give you my cooperation. Whether to capture Myozunirum, or to take back the holy land....., All of it. Not only that. For the sake of Halkeginia’s ideals, I will give my life, my void ability and my noble status."

Julio nodded.

"Seems like a saint has been born. Then, let's go immediately. We will explain, the modification of our plain for tomorrow since he won't be here anymore."

Just a moment before she left the room, Louise turned her head once more. Endless tears still flowed on her cheeks, weeping those tears Louise whispered.

"good bye my most important person in the world."

Zero no Tsukaima:Volume13 Chapter8

Timer17: /* Chapter 8, The meaning of the Smile */

===Chapter 8, The meaning of the Smile===
====by: SeiryuuChan====

Saito woke up in Mister Colbert’s room. Laying down on the table, he was covered by a blanket. It seemed that the one who put the blanket on him was Mister Colbert, who was in bed, asleep.

It seems Saito himself falls asleep before he noticed it. Morning light streams through the window.(not sure about this sentence)

Now I remember, yesterday I was so tired from crying continuously that I fell asleep. While thinking that, Saito stared at the display of his notebook computer. It seems like the power supply had been taken off.

I was thinking about asking Mister Colbert to connect my notebook to the electricity, but decided against it.

I memorized it last time, so I am able to recall it..., so it is not necessary to do it for a second time.

From the window, I gazed up at the sky.

Some how this world connected to Earth one way or another.

What could it be that connected these two worlds together?

Looking at the fact that tank and aircraft could come to this world, it should be normal for electro-magnetic wave to enter.

Ah, In any case that seems to be the case. Saito looked (around) absent-mindedly as he thought that.

After all, I was a weak man. He thought.

I have comrades so I think I can do something, since that's the situation I can accept if one way or another, to live in this world. Nevertheless, when I read the mail, I am suddenly overcome by the feelings of homesickness.

Described in simple words, I am a weak man.

It can't be helped since I suddenly read the mail. thinking this Saito left his notebook computer behind in Mister Colbert’s room.

Saito felt depressed.
While he trudged through the corridor he muttered.

"Tomorrow would be a troubling day. The three year anniversary of the coronation of the pope..., My spirit must not be like this."

At any rate, my mood must be kept hidden from Louise.

I don't want her to get depressed again.

I should be thinking about the immediate danger first. Saito positively thought.

Okay, Let's cover this depressed face of mine. While forcibly doing that, Saito opened the door to the living room.

"Louise, forgive me for not coming back yesterday. I was drinking with Mr. Colbert in his room and collapsed..."

Louise was sitting in the chair looking at the mirror. But it seems that she wasn't going to scold Saito. Instead she smiled back, almost like a trap.

"Good morning."

Louise’s sudden smile, surprised him.

"What the...? What with your clothes......"

"Eh, this? Last evening, I went out to buy this."

Louise wasn’t her usual Tristain academy uniform, But a cute blouse with short deep blue silk skirt, and a red ribbon which seemingly leap in the collar. (no idea about the last part)

"Why?"

Saito being amazed, asked? From all the days today is. No, even if is this is a joke in Romalia great cathedral. Saito still couldn't understand the reason.

"Oh I understand, for tomorrow’s ceremony isn't it? But, is it okay to be wearing that?"

Then Louise smiled pleasantly and said.

"No, for the sake to be going to town to buy things with you today."

"Мe, why?"

In the town, there is a festival for the celebration of his holiness the pope’s third anniversary. In noble society there are festivals, here in street it seems like they have festivals too. Now, I want to go to the festival with you.・

"But tomorrow......, shouldn't be we use time we have today to prepare ourselves?"

"No it's okay. Doing practice right now would not change the result, an effortless action. Besides, sometimes, relaxation is an important thing too."

Looking innocent, Louise grabbed Saito’s arm.

"Okay, let's go?"

In the end attracted by Louise’s unusually cute behavior, Saito was going to town. Louise was glued to Saito’s arm. What, something wrong? He turned for a moment to Louise. Louise only smiled back.

As expected, I have a bad feeling about this.
Saito asked Louise.

"Hey Louise?"

"Yes."

"What are you scheming?"

But Louise was, kyahaha, laughing.

Kyahaha? Louise was laughing? Saito head was full of questions, jerkily Louise remained glued to Saito arm.

"I'm not scheming anything."

"Lie!"

"It's not a lie. Honestly, for today I just want to take a stroll with you through town. That's all."

Looking at it from all sides her smile was not a scheming smile. Still, there is something hidden, Saito though. Then Louise pointed something.

"Eh that's right, for today I will listen for anything you request."

"Huh?"

"Really I'm serious. So, don't be polite, okay?"

Smiling and leaning to him. Saito feelt more and more suspicious. For the sake of testing, he said.

"Then, show me your underpants."

He thought he was going to be kicked, so he prepared for that.

But, neither kick, punch, nor magic attack was launched. Instead, Louise shyly began to slowly lift up her skirt.

"Okay."

It's been a while since I last saw Louise underpants. He thought.

She doesn't seem to be angry.

Meaning..? “Hey, this is the middle of the street, there’s a lot of people here.” Saito said while furiously trying stop her.

"Stop it, People can see that."

With a smile, Louise returned the skirt to it’s original position.

Too suspicious.

Is this really the real Louise?

Could it be that someone transformed her?

Right, for example, Myozunitonirun’s magical tool...

Saito though, that was an acting. The tension began to get higher with his next words.

"Ah, then, Allow me to touch your breast."

"Go ahead."

Louise nodded almost instantly, with a smiling face.

"Ok, then I will not hold back."

Gulp, Saito swallowed his saliva and began to touch her small breast. Rustle, rustle. (I guess that this is the sound being made, don’t know where to put it)

Even with her small breasts, touching her there, Saito’s tension began to raise. ( I have no idea what to replace tension with)

When he looked back at her, she was still smiling brightly. A face with a color of happiness. Prepared for death, Saito started to shake. If this is the real Louise, let's try that. He thought.

"И..., is this a breast?"(not sure what the И means)

"Yes, that's right."

she positively nodded with a smile.

This was absolutely not Louise! another thing!

"Nah, too small, compared to Tiffania."

"It's okay with me."

That instant Saito jumped, took posture. (?)

"Who or what are you!"

"Just like I keep saying, I am me. Please believe me."

"Why you aren't angry?"

"Because, that's...."

She hesitantly said those words, and when she figured out something, she raised her face.

"Yes! You see, tomorrow there’s going to be a fierce battle. The enemy seems to be Myozunitonirun, right? So this is some kind of reward! yes that's it!"

Seems enjoyed it, Louise said that. (?)

You would normally, even in a situation such as this, object.

In the end, Louise seems to have changed her way of thinking. Perhaps because the noble pride within her, and the princess. Saito had an reached understanding.

"You want to touch more?"
(I assume he must have made some kind of face)
"it’s alright! Go ahead! Believe me! Please!"
(He must have shown some sign of concession)
"Thank you."

For the ninth time, she smiled again. O well, if she is enjoying this the I should too. Saito thought. This leisureous situation, is not a reckless action. Besides, there is possibility one of us may be lost tomorrow. Anyhow, whatever bad the situation turns out to be we will survive.

Tomorrow is, the commemoration of pope’s coronation, things are busy in this Romalian street. Of course, it shouldn't differ too much with the festivals usually held in Tristania.

As expected of the street stalls and the performances, the atmosphere here feels busy. Even in Romalia, in every place around here, pilgrims can be seen crowding merchants. The various goods brought by them were put in the front of the stall.

Louise was stood in front of clothes shelves that was showed in the front of a stall. Doing her best to search for something.

"What, do you really want scarf that much?, I will buy it for you, so go ahead to choose something better."

Even with that said, Louise only shook her head. And then determined to choose a plain scarf, she requested this one.

"...Hey Louise, what do you plan to do with a scarf of that color?"

The scarf’s color didn’t fit with women's tastes. A black one, with lattice pattern embroidery. But Louise just answer by shaking her head.

"See this black color, it suits you."

"What, did you buy that for me?"

"Yes"

Louise smiled sweetly.

"Could it be that you somehow accidentally drank a love potion again?"

"That's not it. It's okay don't mind me. Like I said a reward."

I see, so this is a reward too, Saito murmured.

For the time being for today I will accompany Louise, Saito thought.

Saito and Louise loitered around the street. Around noon, priests went out too to drink and sung war song with their comrades in arm.

The impression that I had, when first entering this place, though it's quite strict, it is still not too different with other town in Halkeginia. In the middle, was dance party provided by a band using of flute and drum to perform.

Louise pulled Saito. Bring him to the center.

"Let's dance."

With Cheerful rhythm accompanying them . Louise and Saito danced. A pleasant want. Louise dancing, Saito too followed her, trying to follow Louise’s lead.

After they were satisfied they went to the tavern that they were chased into by the Templar knights.

When they entered the tavern, the table was replaced by high class looked sparkling one. Seems the money Kirche gave as compensation quite sufficient to repair all the damage. The window, and stand counter had been replaced with a glass one.

This tavern was really different from the previous one. The one that stood right now was a first class tavern.

The shopkeeper too was wearing first class brand new polished clothes. When he saw the two of them, he threw a smiled.

When they entered, the shopkeeper recognized Louise and Saito. And looked awkward.

Until this time many trouble has been happened(?). He grinned at Saito and without saying anything the shopkeeper started to send foods one by one to both of them.

And then he whispered silently to Saito ear.

"I will be dependent on you for the next year too."

Meanwhile, Louise was still smiling.

"Еh?"

===Chapter 8, The meaning of the Smile===
====by: SeiryuuChan====

Saito woke up in Colbert’s room. Laying down on the table, he was covered by a blanket. It seemed that the one who put the blanket on him was Mister Colbert, who was in bed, asleep.

It seems Saito himself falls asleep before he noticed it. Morning light streams through the window.(not sure about this sentence)

Now I remember, yesterday I was so tired from crying continuously that I fell asleep. While thinking that, Saito stared at the display of his notebook computer. It seems like the power supply had been taken off.

I was thinking about asking Mister Colbert to connect my notebook to the electricity, but decided against it.

I memorized it last time, so I am able to recall it..., so it is not necessary to do it for a second time.

From the window, I gazed up at the sky.

Some how this world connected to Earth one way or another.

What could it be that connected these two worlds together?

Looking at the fact that tank and aircraft could come to this world, it should be normal for electro-magnetic wave to enter.

Ah, In any case that seems to be the case. Saito looked absent-mindedly as he thought that.

After all, I was a weak man. He thought.

I have comrades so I think I can do something, since that's the situation I can accept if one way or another, to live in this world. Nevertheless, when I read the mail, I am suddenly overcome by the feelings of homesickness.

Described in simple words, I am a weak man.

It can't be helped since I suddenly read the mail. thinking this Saito left his notebook computer behind in Mister Colbert’s room.

Saito felt depressed.
While he trudged through the corridor he muttered.

Tomorrow would be a troubling day. The three year anniversary of the coronation of the pope..., My spirit must not be like this.

At any rate, my mood must be kept hidden from Louise.

I don't want her to get depressed again.

I should be thinking about the immediate danger first. Saito positively thought.

Okay, Let's cover this depressed face of mine. While forcibly doing that, Saito opened the door to the living room.

Louise, forgive me for not coming back yesterday. I was drinking with Mr. Colbert in his room and collapsed...

Louise was sitting in the chair looking at the mirror. But it seems that she wasn't going to scold Saito. Instead she smiled back, almost like a trap.

Good morning.・

Louise’s sudden smile, surprised him.

What the...? What with your clothes......・

Eh, this? Last evening, I went out to buy this.・

Louise wasn’t her usual Tristain academy uniform, But a cute blouse with short deep blue silk skirt, and a red ribbon which seemingly leap in the collar. (no idea about the last part)

Why?・

Saito being amazed, asked? From all the days today is. No, even if is this is a joke in Romalia great cathedral. Saito still couldn't understand the reason.

Oh I understand, for tomorrow’s ceremony isn't it? But, is it okay to be wearing that?

Then Louise smiled pleasantly and said.

No, for the sake to be going to town to buy things with you today・

Мe, why?・

In the town, there is a festival for the celebration of his holiness the pope’s third anniversary. In noble society there are festivals, here in street it seems like they have festivals too. Now, I want to go to the festival with you.・

But tomorrow......, shouldn't be we use time we have today to prepare ourselves?・

No it's okay. Doing practice right now would not change the result, an effortless action. Besides, sometimes, relaxation is an important thing too.・

Looking innocently, Louise grabbed Saito’s arm.

Okay, let's go?・

In the end attracted by Louise’s unusually cute behavior, Saito was going to town. Louise was glued to Saito’s arm. What, something wrong? He turned for a moment to Louise. Louise only smiled back.

As expected, I have a bad feeling about this.
Saito asked Louise.

Hey Louise?・

Yes.・

What are you scheming?・

But Louise was, kyahaha, laughing.

Kyahaha? Louise was laughing? Saito head was full of questions, jerkily Louise remained glued to Saito arm.

I'm not scheming anything.・

Lie!・

It's not a lie. Honestly, for today I just want to take a stroll with you through town. That's all.

Looking at it from all sides her smile was not a scheming smile. Still, there is something hidden, Saito though. Then Louise pointed something.

Eh that's right, for today I will listen for anything you request.・

Huh?・

Really I'm serious. So, don't be polite okay?・

Smiling and leaning to him. Saito feel more and more suspicious. For the sake of testing, he said.

Then, show me your underpants.

He thought he was going to be kicked, so he prepared for that.

But, neither kick, punch, nor magic attack was launched. Instead, Louise shyly began to slowly lift up her skirt.

Okay.・

It's been a while since I last saw Louise underpants. He thought.

She doesn't seem to be angry.

Meaning..? “Hey, this is the middle of the street there’s a lot of people here.” Saito said while furiously trying stop her.

Stop it, People can see that.

With a smile, Louise returned the skirt to it’s original position.

Too suspicious.

Is this really the real Louise?

Could it be that someone transformed her?

Right, for example, Myozunitonirun’s magical tool...

Saito though, that was an acting. The tension began to get higher with his next words.

Ah, then, Allow me to touch your breast.

Go ahead.

Louise nodded almost instantly, with a smiling face.

Ok, then I will not hold back.・

Gulp, Saito swallowed his saliva and began to touch her small breast. Rustle, rustle. (I guess that this is the sound being made, don’t know where to put it)

Even with her small breasts, touching her there, Saito’s tension began to raise. ( I have no idea what to replace tension with)

When he looked back at her, she was still smiling brightly. A face with a color of happiness. Prepared for death, Saito start to shake. If this is the real Louise, let's try that. He thought.

И..., is this a breast?(not sure what the И means)

Yes, that's right.

she positively nodded with a smile.

This was absolutely not Louise! another thing!.

Nah, too small, compared to Tiffania.・

It's okay with me.・

That instant Saito jumped, took posture. (?)

Who or what are you!

Just like I keep saying, I am me. Please believe me.

Why you aren't angry?・

Because, that's....・

She hesitantly said those words, and when she figured out something, she raised her face.

Yes! You see, tomorrow there’s going to be a fierce battle. The enemy seems to be Myozunitonirun, right? So this is some kind of reward! yes that's it!

Seems enjoyed it, Louise said that. (?)

You would normally, even in a situation such as this, would object.

In the end, Louise seems to have changed her way of thinking. Perhaps because the noble pride within her, and the princess. Saito had an understanding.

You want to touch more?・
(I assume he must have made some kind of face)
it’s alright! Go ahead! Believe me! Please!
(He must have shown some sign of concession)
Thank you.

For the ninth time, she smiled again. O well, if she is enjoying this the I should too. Saito thought. This leisureous situation, is not a reckless action. Besides, there is possibility one of us may be lost tomorrow. Anyhow, whatever bad the situation turns out to be we will survive.

Tomorrow is, the commemoration of pope’s coronation, things are busy in this Romalian street. Of course, it shouldn't differ too much with the festivals usually held in Tristania.

As expected of the street stalls and the performances, the atmosphere here feels busy. Even in Romalia, in every place around here, pilgrims can be seen crowding merchants. The various goods brought by them were put in the front of the stall.

Louise was stood in front of clothes shelves that was showed in the front of a stall. Doing her best to search for something.

What, do you really want scarf that much?, I will buy it for you, so go ahead to choose something better.・

Even with that said, Louise only shook her head. And then determined to chooses a plain scarf, she requested this one.

・...Hey Louise, what do you plan to do with a scarf of that color?

The scarf’s color didn’t fit with women tastes. A black one, with lattice pattern embroidery. But Louise just answer by shaking her head.

See this black color, it suits you.

What, did you buy that for me?

Yes・

Louise smiled sweetly.

Could it be that you somehow accidentally drank a love potion again?・

That's not it. It's okay don't mind me. Like I said a reward.・

I see, so this is a reward too, Saito murmurs.

For the time being for today I will accompany Louise, Saito thought.

Saito and Louise loitered around the street. Around noon, priests went out too to drink and sung war song with their comrades in arm.

The impression that I had, when first entering this place, though it's quite strict, it is still not too different with other town in Halkeginia. In the middle, was dance party provided by a band using of flute and drum to perform.

Louise pulled Saito. Bring him to the center.

Let's dance.・

With Cheerful rhythm accompanying them . Louise and Saito danced. A pleasant want. Louise dancing, Saito too followed her, trying to follow Louise’s lead.

After they were satisfied they went to the tavern that they were chased into by the Templar knights.

When they entered the tavern, the table was replaced by high class looked sparkling one. Seems the money Kirche gave as compensation quite sufficient to repair all the damage. The window, and stand counter had been replaced with a glass one.

This tavern was really different from the previous one. The one that stood right now was a first class tavern.

The shopkeeper too was wearing first class brand new polished clothes. When he saw the two of them, he threw a smiled.

When they entered, the shopkeeper recognized Louise and Saito. And looked awkward.

Until this time many trouble has been happened(?). He grinned at Saito and without saying anything the shopkeeper started to send foods one by one to both of them.

And then he whispered silently to Saito ear.

I will be dependent on you for the next year too.・

Meanwhile, Louise was still smiling.

When the food has been served in the table, Louise offered some soup to Saito.

Еh?・

Б, a----a・(?)

With Louise started to say that, Saito still felt little troubled. Even if this was a reward. It's still too much.

Hey Louise, please tell me the truth, I won't get angry. Did you by accident, destroy the zero fighter. So you tried to make me feel better.・

That's not it, for today, I want to look cute. I want you to see the cute side of me. Please believe me, that’s the only that reason.・

When he heard that he was dumfounded and couldn’t say anything. Looking happy, Louise just smiled.

Once again, they walked through town, Louise gazed at Saito, and lightly said let's go there・

Hey let's kiss. She said.

Еh? Right here?

Something outrageous had been said, even her face looked shy. Is it possible she wants to do that in a place where there are less people. Looking flustered, Louise suddenly started to push Saito into the nearest alley.

After, she fixed her gaze on Saito face, and stood there on her tippy toes. Full of passion the two of them pressed their lips to each other. It was a deep kiss.

For a moment, they pressed each other’s lips together, after satisfying themselves the two of them separated. Once again Louise showed him an extraordinary smile.

Saito could not understand the meaning behind her smiles, but Saito too tried to smiles back vaguely.

while the two of them were walking, Saito would take a peek at Louise, and she would noticed that. She would return a smile, a very lovely one. In the end they continued walking. Saito thought, for Louise, he would do anything to protect her.

But it couldn't be helped, sometimes he would remember his mother’s face. When that happened his chest would hurt.

Something wrong?・

Nothing at all, don't mind me.・

The instant that happened, Saito forced a smile. Cooling his head.(?)

Full heartedly, the two of them spent their time together, when the night drew near they returned to the room. In the end Saito, was with her the whole day. Calmly thinking, from whatever aspect, it was too suspicious.

Here drink water, you must be tired?・

Louise pour a water to the cup, and gave it to Saito. After taking a breath he drank that, Saito asked.

Hey Louise!

Yes・

・.....You see, I’m still wondering, why are you smiling so much?・

Can't I?・

Once more Louise smiled a sweet smile.

its very strange you know!, As long as I remember this whole year you only smiled twice! However, you smiled 72 times today.

I'm very happy you counted. Thank you.

Once again, she smiled. An angelic smile, a lovely smile.

That's why I will smile continuously this last minute.・

What?・

Оnly twice a year huh. But from now on, the time we could spend together, twenty years, forty years?, or even fifty years....., I would smile whenever I could.・

What are you talking about?・

You know, I won’t smile again for the rest of my life.・

Even with her smiles still surfacing, tears began to flow down Louise face.

Louise?

For the rest of my life I won't be loved by anyone anymore. But you must not be like me, Please love whoever, anyone you love. Just like me, you can watch over that person, from your world.・

Tears continued to flow and made lines on her cheeks from her eyes to her chin. That kind of form.(Huh, I don’t get that last part)

Еh?, What?・

Having said that, Saito suddenly became very drowsy.

Еh?・

It is Magic. But the moment he noticed that, the magic had already taken effect.

Louise... you.... the water before....・

Loosing strength, Louise hugged Saito, touched his face with her hands, Pressed her lips against his.

Strength completely left Saito’s body.

The water before, just like as Saito said, a sleeping potion had been put in beforehand.

While gently embracing Saito, Louise whispered.

Good bye my gentle person......, Good bye my chevalier(knight).・

Hick. (sounds of crying from Louise)

After embracing Saito for a while, she put Saito in the bed. After a moment. She stood up.

・...It's okay now.・

A moment after that, The door in behind opened, Julio was standing there with smile surfacing in his face.

Are you really sure about this?・

With no expression, Louise nodded.

Yes, for the sake of Saito too, to open the [Door world].・

Then for that sake too, you will......・

With all my pleasure, I will give you my cooperation. Whether to capture Myozunirum, or to take back the holy land....., All of it. Not only that. For the sake of Halkeginia’s ideals, I will give my life, my void ability and my noble status.・

Julio nodded.

Seems like a saint has been born. Then, let's go immediately. We will explain, the modification of our plain for tomorrow since he won't be here anymore.・

Just a moment before she leaves the room, Louise turned her head once more. Endless tears still flowed on her cheeks, weeping those tears Louise whispered.

good bye my most important person in the world.・
