Chapter 8, The meaning of smiles
Saito woke up in Colbert room. Laying down in the table, a blanket was covered himself. Seems like the one who put the blanket was Colbert who right now was sleep in the bed.
it seems Saito himself falls asleep before he noticed it. Morning light streams through the window.
Now I remember, yesterday I was so tired when crying continously so I fall asleep. While thinking that, Saito stared at the display of his notebook computer. Seems like the the power supply has been took off.
I was thinking to ask Mister Colbert again to connect my notebook computer to electricity power again. But better stop.
I was memorized it last time, so I am able to recalled it again..., So it's not necessary to do that for the second time.
From the window, I was gazing at the the sky.
Somehow this world connected to Earth one way or another.
What could it be the thing that connected this two world 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 so. Saito looking absent-mindedly thought that.
After all, I was a weak man. He thought.
I have comrades so think I can do something, since that's the situation I can accept if one way or another I would be live in this world. But when I read the mail, suddenly the feeling off homesickness overflow me.
Described in simple words, I am a weak man?.
Can't be helped since suddenly I read the mail. While thought that Saito left Colbert room leaving behind his notebook computer.
Trudgingly walking in corridor, Saito feel depressed, he mutters.
Tomorrow, would be a troubling day. Three years anniversary off pope coronation ceremony....., My spirit must not be like this.
At any rate, This fact no matter what must be kept hidden from Loise.
I don't want she turn 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 do that, Saito opened the door to the living room.
Шoo Louise. Forgive me for not returns yesterday. I was drinking with Colbert-sensei in his room and collapsed. ....・
Louise was sitting in the chair continuously looking at the mirror. But she seems wasn't going to scold Saito. Instead she smiles back, almost like like a trap.
Жood morning.・
Louise who suddenly smiles, surprised him.
Цhat the....?, You what with that appearance......・
Бh, this? last evening, I goes to street to bought this.・
Louise right now didn't wear the usual magic academy clothes, But a cute blouse with short deep blue silk skirt, and a red ribbon which seemingly leap in the collar.
Цhy?・
Saito being amazed, ask?. 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.
Нo I understand, for tomorrow ceremony isn't it?. But, is it okay to be wearing that?・
Then Louise smiles pleasantly.
Нo, for the sake to be going to town to buy things with you today・
Мe, why?・
Иn the town, there is a festival. See, for the celebration of the holiness pope after three years coronation. In nobles society there are festivals, here in street seems like they have festivals too. Now, I want to go to the festival with you.・
Вut tomorrow......, shouldn't be we used time we have today for practiced?・
Иt's okay. Doing practice right would not change the result, an effortless action. Besides, sometimes, relaxation is an important thing too.・
Looked innocently, Louise grabbed Saito arm.
Оkay, let's go?・
In the end Saito was attracted by the unusually cute Louise behavior, Saito was going to town. Louise was glued to to Saito by grabbed his arm. What?, Something wrong, he turns for a moment to Louise. ~~~~~, Louise smiles.
As expected I have a bad feeling about this. Saito asked Loise.
Зey louise?・
иes.・
Цhat are you scheming?・
But louise was, kyahaha, laughing.
Kyahaha?, Louise was kyahaha?, Saito head full of question, jerkily Loise continue to glued to Saito arm.
И'm not scheming anything.・
Лie!・
Иt's not a lie. Honestly, for today I want to be with you taking a stroll in town. That's decided.・
Looking from all sides that was not a scheming smile. But still there is something hidden, Saito though. And Louise pointed something.
Бh that's right, for today I will listen for anything you request.・
Зaa?・
Сeally I'm serious. So, don't don't be polite okay?.・
Smiling and leaning to him. Saito feel more and more suspicious. For the sake of testing, he said.
Уhen, show me your underpants.・
He was thought he would be kicked, so he prepared for that.
But, whether kick, punch, or magic attack none were launched. Instead Louise shyly, began to lift up her skirt slowly.
Оkay・
It's been a while since I last saw Louise underpants. He thought.
She doesn't seem to be angry.
Meaning......,But hey, this is the middle of the street....... many peoples are walking, Saito furiously try stop her.
Тtop it, People can see that.・
With a smile, Louise returns back the skirt position.
Too suspicious.
Is this really the real Louise?.
Could it be someone transform to her?.
Right, for example, muzunitonirum magical tool.......
Saito cough, that was an acting. The tension begun raising up, saying the next words.
Уh, then, Allow me to touch your breast.・
Жo ahead.・
Louise nod almost instantly, still with a smiling face.
Уh, then I will not hold back.・
Gulp, Saito drink his saliva. Began to touch her thin breast. Rustling, rustling.....
Even her breast was thin, touching this sensitive part, Saito tension start to raise.
But still when she look at Louise, her face was full of smile. A face with a color of happiness. Prepared for death, Saito start to shaking. If this is the real Louise, let's try дhat・ He thought.
И..., is this a breast?・
Шes, that's right.・
Positively nod with a smile.
Absolutely this was not Louise!, another thing!.
Бhaha, too small, compared to Tiffania.・
Иt's okay with me.・
That instant Saito jumped, took posture.
Шou, what are you!.・
Йust like I'm saying, I am me. Please believe in me.・
Цhy you aren't angry?・
Вecause, that's.....・
She hesitantly said that words, and like figured out something, raised her face.
添es!, see, tomorrow would be a fierce battle・ The enemy seems to be muzonitonirun right?. So this is some kind like a reward!, yes that's it!?・
Seems enjoyed it, Louise said that.
添ou, normally even with such a situation similar to this, you would object.・
In the end, Louise seems change change her way of thinking. Perhaps because the noble pride within her, and the princess. Saito had an understanding.
的 want to touch more?・
的't alright!, go ahead! Believe me!, please!・
典hank you.・
For the nth time, she smiles again. Then, if she enjoyed it, then I would be enjoy it too. Saito thought. This leisure situation, is not a reckless action. Besides, there is possibility life may be lost tomorrow. Anyhow, whatever bad the situation turns out to be we will survive......
Tomorrow is, the commemoration of pope coronation, things would be busy in Romalia street. But of course, it shouldn't be differ too much with the festival usually held in Tristania.
As expected of the street stall performance, 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. Was put in the front stall.
Louise was stood in front of clothes shelves that was showed in the front stall. Doing her best to search for something.
展hat, 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 shakes her head. And then after determined to chooses a plain scarf, request this one.
・...Hey Louise, what do you plan to do with that colored scarf?・
That color doesn't fit with women tastes. A black one, with lattice pattern embroidery. But Louise just answer by shaking her head.
鉄ee this black color, fits you.・
展hat, did you bought that for me?・
添es・
Louise smiles sweetly.
鼎ould it be that you somehow accidentally drank that love potion again?・
典hat'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 loitering around the street. Approximately in the noon, priests seems go out too to drink. And sung war song with their comrades in arm.
The impression I have, when first time entering this place, though it's quite strict still not differ too much with the 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.
鏑et's dance.・
With Cheerful rhythm accompanying. Louise and Saito danced. A pleasant want. Louise dancing, Saito too followed her, try to keep the rhythm step of Louise lead.
After satisfied enough they go to the avenue to the tavern from the incident before, when they were chased by the templar knights. There stood a tavern.
When they enter the tavern, the table was replaced by high class looked sparkling one. Seems the money Kirche given as compensation quite sufficient to repaired all broken thing. The window, and stand counter too has been replaced with a glass one.
This tavern really differ with a previous one. The one stood right now is a first class tavern.
The shopkeeper too is wearing first class brand new polished clothes. When he saw the two of them, he throw a smiled.
When they entered, the shopkeeper recognizez Louise and Saito. Looked awkward.
填ntil this time many trouble has been happened.・ grinningly smiled to Saito. Without saying anything the shopkeeper start to send foods one by one to both of them.
And then whispered silently to Saito ear.
И will be depends on you for the next year too.・
Meanwhile, Louise still smiling.
When the food has been served in the table, Louise offer the soup to Saito.
Еh?・
Б, a----a・
With Louise started to say that, Saito still felt little troubled. Even if this is a reward. It's still too much.
Зey Louise, please tell me the truth, I won't angry. Are you by accident, destroyed the zero fighter. So you try to repaired my mood.・
Уhat's not it for today I want to be looked cute. I want you to see the cute side of me. Please believe me, only that reason.・
Hears that Saito just dumbfounded, can't say anything. Looking happy, Louise smiled.
Once again, they walk in town, Louise gazed at Saito, lightly said Лet's go there・
Зey let's kiss.・She said.
Еh? Right here?・
Something outrageous has been said, even her face looked shy. If possible she wants to do that in the place where there were less peoples. Looking flustered, abruptly Louise start to push Saito in the nearest alley.
After her gaze fixed at Saito face, stood there with tip toes to support her weight. Full of passion the two of them pressed each other lips. It was a deep kiss.
For a moment, their lips press each other........, after satisfy the two of them separated. Once again Louise shows an extraordinary smiles.
Saito could not understand the meaning behind her smiles, but Saito too try to smiles back vaguely.
Even when the two of them walking, Sometimes when Saito peek at Louise, and she noticed that. She returns a smile, a very lovely one. In the end the of them continue walking. Saito thought for this girls Saito would be willing to do anything to protect this woman.
But it couldn't be helped, some times he remember his mother face. When that happened his chest felt hurt.
Тomething wrong?・
Нothing at all, don't mind me.・
The instant that happened, Saito forced a smile. Cooling his head.
Full heartedly the two of them spend the time together, when the night draw near the two returns to they room. In the end Saito accompany her the whole day. Calmly thinking, form whatever aspect, it's too suspicious.
Зere drink water, you must be tired?・
Louise pour a water to the cup, serving for Saito. After take a breath he drank that, Saito asked.
Зey Louise!・
Шes・
・.....You see, I still wonder why you smiles?・
Гan't I?・
Once more Louise smiled, a sweet one.
Хery strange you know!, As long as I remember this while year you only smiled twice!, But for today you smiles 72 times.
И'm very happy you count that. Thank you.・
Once again, she smiled. That smiles like an angle, a lovely smile.
Уhat's why I will smiles continuously this last minute.・
Цhat?・
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 every times I could.・
Цhat are you talking about?・
Шou know, I can't be smiled again for the rest of my life.・
Even with her smiles still surfacing, tears started too flow in Louise face.
Лouise?・
Ёor the rest of my love I won't be loved 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.・
Grain of tears continue to flow make a line in her cheeks to her chin. That kind of form.
Еh?, What?・
Haven said that, suddenly drowsiness affect Saito.
Еh?・
It is Magic. But the moment he noticed that, the magic has already took effect.
Лouise... you.... the water before....・
Loosing strength, louise hug Saito, touched his face with her hands. Pressing her lips againts him.
Strength completely left from saito body.
The water before, just like as Saito said, sleeping magic potion has been put before hand.
While gently embrace Saito, Louise whispered.
Жood by my gentle person......, Good by my chevalier(knight).・
Hick, sound of crying from Louise.
After embrace 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.
Бre you really sure about this?・
With no expression, Louise nod.
Шes, for the sake of Saito too, to open the [Door world].・
Уhen for that sake too, you will......・
Цith all pleasure, I will give you my cooperation. Whether to capture mizunitonirum, or to take back the holy land....., All of it. Not only that. For the sake of Halkeginia idealist, I will give my life, my void ability and my noble status.・
Julio nod.
Тeems's like a saint has been born. Then, let's go immedietely. 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 turn her head once more. Endless tears still flowed in her cheeks, weeping that tears Louise whispered.
