Zero no Tsukaima:Volume2 Chapter4

Chapter 4 Port City La Rochelle

Although dawn had just broken, Saito, Guiche and Louise had already started preparing the saddles for their horses. Slung on the back of Saito was Deriflinger. Because of its length, it could not be attached on the waist.

Louise was dressed in her academy uniform, the only difference is that she now wore horse riding boots instead of shoes. Judging from that, looks like a great deal of time would be spending on riding the horse. " How far would Albion would be from here? I'm still not used to riding a horse... Most probably my waist will ache from the riding..."She thought to herself.

Just before setting off, Guiche spoke in a rather awkwardly manner. "I have a request..."

"What is it that you want?" Saito responded with hostility while putting his belongings onto the saddle. He still could not forgive Guiche for hurting him that badly during their fight some time back.

"I wish to bring my familiar along."

"Do you have a familiar in the first place?"

"Of course I have. All magicians have one."

Louise and Saito looked at each other, then looked at Guiche again.

"Where's your familiar now?"

"Here." Guiche replied while pointing onto the ground.

"But there's nothing on the ground." Louise said.
