=== Epilogue ===

“My name is Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière. Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers, bless this humble being, and make him my familiar.“

In the living room of Tiffania's house, Contract Servant was done.

Though they searched in the forest… the woman in black robe, who introduced herself as Sheffield, was gone. Only a large amount of Alvisses were lying around.

When Louise and the others returned to Tiffania’s house… they decided to give another ‘contract’ to Saito. If they would be attacked like a few moments ago, it may get serious after all.

Siesta and Tiffania watched Saito's contracting with Louise with worried expressions. Agnes, with her arms crossed, was nonchalantly watching what the mage was doing.

“I guess he's willing to become a mage’s tool again. The runes make the sword training useless.”

“Maybe…”

Derflingr, who was leaning against the sofa, said in a somewhat painful voice. Agnes looked up at Derflingr surprised.

“Why so gloomy. Isn’t your partner coming back?”

Not answering Agnes’ question, Derflingr kept being silent.

Once the spell ended, Louise brought her lips to Saito’s.

Saito watched at her thin, but nicely shaped lips.

When you think about it… everything started from here.

Various adventures crossed his mind.

After this, a new adventure might start from here. With his hopes and fears in turmoil, Saito stirred a little. Seeing Saito acting this way, Louise asked him.

“You won’t regret it?”

Saito, gazing straight into Louise’s eyes, said.

“I have already decided it when I passed the gate.”

Louise nodded, and slowly pressed her lips against Saito’s.

At once… a burning pain hit his body.

“Guaaaaaah!”

Siesta tried to run up to Saito, who was rolling in agony.

“S-Saito-san!”

“I-it’s all right… it’s just the runes of the familiar being carved in…”

Both, Saito and Louise, said at the same time.

And at once the pain subdued.

Saito watched curves appearing on his left hand.

“Haah…” he moaned. Louise shut her eyes and pressed herself closer to Saito.

“D-did it fail?”

“No… it succeeded.”

Saito showed Louise his left hand’s top.

Gandalfr's runes were firmly carved.

Louise gently traced each rune with her finger. This character string… is a bond between me and Saito. While caressing them… the amount of time when they were separated, the despair she felt, she was overflowed by the feelings.

Though everyone were still there, Louise desperately clung tightly onto Saito… and buried her face below his chest. And stayed like that, not moving. Saito gently held Louise’s shoulders.

Everyone stared at the couple.

“Well, as I said, I need to sharpen my sword for the battle.” Agnes muttered.

Though Siesta lifted up her eyes for a moment, she gave out a smile in the end.

The naive Tiffania blushed.

“Your left hand… don’t stress it too much… I can’t help but worry.”

Derflingr muttered so silently that no one heard.

For a while, it will be very sensitive…　

Tiffania with saying: “Well, I’m sure you need various things to discuss”, hurriedly dashed out of the bedroom.

Siesta came up to Louise and muttered quietly in her ear.

“…Only for today, I will lend him to you.”

…And left as fast as Tiffania left the room.

When Derflingr tried to say something, he was gripped by Agnes.

“All right, you also have to go.”

Finally alone, Saito and Louise gazed at each other in silence.

While they were looking at each other… tears started to fall from Louise’s eyes.

“Louise.”

When Saito unconsciously hugged her shoulders tighter, even more tears started to fall from her eyes. Not whipping them, Louise opened her mouth.

“Th…”

“Th?”

“Thth….”

“Thth?”

“Th-thought I will never be able to meet you again…”

While looking straight at him Louise sobbed.

“I-I…thought I, gu, had something important to t-t-tell, you, gu, went somewhere…”

Her speech was overflowed with feelings.

“You didn't show up on the ship, you didn't show up in the bed, back at home… Do you know how worried I was?.. I couldn’t take it anymore… I couldn’t take it because…”

Louise was heavily pulling out words mixed with tears. Though she was incoherent and hard to understand, Louise’s feelings poured right into Saito’s heart.

“But y-you visited me in my dreams… you were gentle, and, and…”

“D-don’t cry…”

Saito hugged Louise tightly, encircling her head with his hand. Louise started to weep stronger.

[[Image:ZnT08-283.jpg|thumb]]

“Cruel… You left me alone, cruel…”

“I won’t leave.”

Saito said.

“I won’t leave you any more.”

When he said those words… he remembered how it hurt him so badly as well, since the runes disappeared.

“Mo, don't go anywhere.”

“Aye.”

“S-stay by me.”

”Aye.“

Saito nodded many times.

The inner of his nose started to tickle.

That’s right, this is what I really wanted to do from the beginning.

Since I was not Louise’s Gandalfr, though I wanted to protect her… I misunderstood. I thought that not being a Gandalfr, I couldn't protect her.

But, I was wrong.

I can protect you, Louise.

Not someone else, me… I want to protect you.

When he thought so, something warm spread inside Saito’s heart.

This warmth made Saito more determined.

Some day, I might return.

But… not until I make Louise happy.

For the master who needs me so much, I will pursue her dreams.

When he was determined like that, everything seemed simple.

Louise was still crying.

“Y-you can look at other girls… You can touch them… You can k-k-k-kiss them, but… don’t go anywhere…”

Louise kept on crying for a while.

<center>* * *</center>

Louise, who finished crying some time ago and now had red and puffy eyes, was silent.

When he laid her down to bed, she lied down obediently. Yet, she gripped onto Saito’s sleeve and did not let it go. And pulled it down while biting her lips. So Saito had to lie down next to her. Louise immediately gently placed her head on his shoulder.

He could smell the nostalgic aroma of Louise’s hair.

Louise silently drew her lips to Saito's ear.

“W-what?”

Saito asked looking at her burning eyes.

“Please.”

“Y-yes?”

“Till the morning breaks, be gentle”

In the middle of this intimate… dangerous atmosphere, Saito stroked Louise’s head.

“…Ngh!”

Louise leaked out a moan.

Such act from Louise, made Saito almost die on the spot.

What I want to do – I cannot do. What about the others, who are in a room next to theirs.

So, Saito torn by such conflict, desperately endured… till Louise said in an angry tone.

“Hey you…”

“Eh?”

“You put your tongue in the maid’s mouth, didn’t you?”

It wasn’t really me putting it in, but Siesta…

But saying that has no use, when your opponent is Louise.

Yada, he will be punched! Or maybe kicked!

Guard! Guard guard!

Saito frantically tried to protect his groin, after hearing Louise saying that in a sulky voice. Neither kick, nor slap followed.

Instead, a bullet of pink flew and knocked Saito down.

Louise, with a blush on her cheeks, lifted her moist eyes up to Saito and said in a sulky voice

“I want to have the same thing to gloss over.”

All right?

Not all right?

The switch was triggered.

“Yes.”

Saito framed her face with his hands, and, in trance, pressed his mouth against hers.

“N…” Louise closed her eyes.

Taking the opportunity, his hand sneaked beneath her shirt and touched her breast. However, Louise Francoise did not showed any of the resistance she had a while ago in the shallop.

Why didn’t she?

Maybe this was a dream?

How to confirm that?

Ah, indeed. If one feels pain, then one can’t be sleeping!”

Well, to feel pain, I only need Louise to hit me.

Hm, what should I do to make her hit me?

Ah, say bad words!

Saito, lost in his excitement, said, pressing his hand against her chest.

“Is this a breast?”

The sweet atmosphere disappeared immediately.

It was as if someone chanted the Dispel Magic and blew it off like smokes…

“Is it bad?”

Slap

Louise’s palm slapped him.

“Yup…”

“Are my breasts bad?”

Slap slap.

Her palm continued to hit.

Slap slap slap

“They are flat and no good.”

He muttered in a silent voice as Louise’s palm continued to slap him.

“Aaah…”

The pain helped him to realize that it was a reality.

So. This was not a dream.

…But.

“No, stop, I was wrong.”

Slap slap slap slap slap slap.

Wasn’t there other ways to confirm if it was a dream or not? He realized too late.

“Wait. T-they are small but firm….”

“Hold your tongue!”

Louise’s knee flew up.

As it hit straight into his belly, Saito fainted.

<center>* * *</center>

In Tiffania's bedroom, Siesta was sleeping on the bed. The jar of wine was rolling next to her.　

Tiffania, leaving Siesta, took her harp and went out of the room.

Sitting on the chair of the courtyard, Tiffania began to play the harp.

And the sounds of founder's homesickness… melted with the night wind and wrapped the Westwood's village up.

<center>* * *</center>

Agnes sat on the chair of the living room, drinking sake.　

She heard the sounds of harp coming from the courtyard.

Agnes closed her eyes and submerged herself into Tiffania’s performance.

“What’s the matter, Commander-san?”

Asked Derflinger, who she had as her drinking partner, Agnes opened her eyes.

Instead of the usual musketeer commander’s steel, one could see a girl’s anxiety in her eyes.

“No… I just recalled my hometown. I can’t return there… such useless memory.”

“You can’t return there?”

Self-mockingly, Agnes murmured.

“It doesn’t exist anymore. It exists only in the corner of my memories.”

After a while… Derflinger said.

“What? A hometown is just a word. Find a new hometown.”

Agnes became silent and continued listening to the tune, settled, in the course of time, a gentle smile appeared on her face and she nodded.

<center>* * *</center>

Louise watched the fainted Saito, who has started a journey to the world of sleep. If only he had not made that remark about my breast size, she thought passionately…

“…Melody?”

She noticed a tune playing outside the window.

Who?

Is that Tiffania?

Somehow she started to feel nostalgic. When listening to the sounds… Louise recalled the void user.

Then felt uneasy…

The Myozunitonirun from before.

Though she could not understand why, she seemed to aim at Louise.

This Void’s familiar was not an ally…

And if there are void familiars besides Saito, then there should be void users as well…

It was an unknown, big flow of events. I myself am only a driftwood in this big flow.

But… looking at the familiar breath in his sleep, Louise thought.

I have Saito.

At that time, it was Saito who saved me.

Aye, I may be just a driftwood in a rapid stream. But… I am tightly tied with a rope.

She thought…

The whole ‘noble pride’ thing was long ago rooted out of Louise.

She wanted to use her god gifted powers on far more important things. Like… for the clueless familiar.

Louise quietly whispered to Saito.

First of all, I’ll look for the way to bring you home.

That time, she did not say those important words.

If she did… Saito would be chained to her by those words.

Sounds of harp continued.

…This Tiffania, just who is she?

She looked like hiding something deep inside.

And she cured Saito’s near-to-death injuries.

Tomorrow, I’ll ask for details… Louise closed her eyes.

<center>* * *</center>

“N…” 　Stirring, Saito woke up.

Next to him Louise was sleeping.

Her face, pressed closely against Saito’s chest, looked relaxed, as she continued to sleep.

Seeing Louise like that … reminded him of a beautiful girl, carrying elfin blood.

She, like Louise was a Void user. Still, he’ll have to talk about this with Louise. Tomorrow, I will speak with her, Saito thought.

On the other side of window, under moonlight… he heard the half-elf girl, Tiffania, playing her harp.

On other day, when he heard these sounds he was reminded of his hometown and it was painful…

But now it's different.

Because Louise’s head rested on his chest.

Something dear spread in his heart.

Even though the morn started to break... Tiffania's playing continued.　

Cleaning the wounds of hearts with the nostalgia, serenade of the dreaming lovers, soothing the feelings of the ones that listened… Echoed forever in the forest of South Gotha.

Zero no Tsukaima:Volume8 Chapter10 - MTL

2008-11-11T17:08:41Z

Ebani: /* Chapter Ten: Swordsman */

===Chapter Ten: Swordsman===

Meanwhile…

At Emma’s house, Saito, who wasn't able to fall asleep, was spending the night with Agnes. Because Louise was staying at Tiffania’s house, Saito lost his whereabouts. In only a single room, Saito and Agnes were sitting at the table. In the bed nearby, Emma was already sleeping.

“So, you don’t have the ability to protect her?”

Agnes muttered after listening to Saito’s story.

“…Aye. Because I am not Gandalfr anymore.”

After thinking for a while, Agnes asked…

“You were defending Miss Valliere because you were Gandalfr?”

“Indeed. Because I was Gandalfr, I could protect Louise.”

“That’s not it.”

“Eh?”

“It is not the meaning I was implying. It was a question about will. There is a different meaning between ‘able to protect because being a Gandalfr’ and ‘protecting because being a Gandalfr’.”

Saito was startled.

“So, who was protecting Miss Valliere? Was it Gandalfr? Or Hiraga Saito? That’s what I want to hear.”

“That…”

Saito looked hesitant before answering.

“It’s easy to belittle oneself. It’s easy to mutter ‘I can’t’ and give up one’s courage. But…”

Agnes continued.

“To risk your life for a woman, is worth a whole lifetime.”

<center>* * *</center>

Looking at Sheffield, who introduced herself as a void familiar, Louise asked.

“…Is it some kind of bad joke. How can there be another void familiar."

“It is up to you to believe or not. You are free to not believe me. It’s your choice. Now, be obedient and give me that Founder’s prayer book…”

Louise said with a bitter expression.

“…And if I would oppose you, you’d knock me down and plunder?”

“Not so harshly.”

“Stop joking!”

She pointed her wand and unleashed a small explosion towards the woman with robe

[[Image:ZnT08-261.jpg|thumb]]

Yet, it also was a gargoyle.

Another one opened its mouth.

“This is a doll, not a gargoyle. It’s a special ancient magic item that can take the shape of a person, whose blood they get to drink. This ability… Was used by kings in ancient wars. Some noble historians compare it to a play. Well, we want to thank you.“

Gargoyles approached slowly.

“They are not very useful against swordsmen and soldiers. But because of their usefulness against mages, in history, they are feared as ‘mage killers’.

“Ku!”

Louise again unleashed dispel magic at the approaching beings.

However… it was a futile attempt of resistance against such overwhelming numbers.

Void’s spell power is proportional to the time it takes to cast. Yet… she can’t make long chants. Because during casting, the mage is defenseless. She would be easily caught by an enemy.

“So, what would you say? Join into the war game! Just think about it! How long can you keep doing cancellation spells? Here!”

All the gargoyles turned into swordsmen.

There was nothing she could do about it; Louise ran away.

“Aahaha! Strange! Are you only such a Void user? Without your Gandalfr, you can’t even chant a spell!”

Louise ran, trying to escape back to the forest. Behind her, Myozunitonirun's magic doll followed her. Seems like they wanted to tease, or maybe measure Louise’s ability, since they followed Louise at her own pace.

Her feet got stumbled upon the tree root and Louise fell down.

“Hurts…”

From the other side, thick shadows and damp footsteps of gargoyles stepping through the forest soil echoed.

Fear struck her.

Yet… with her mind stricken with terror, what escaped her mouth was not the ‘Void’ spell, nor a prayer to the god, but…

“Saito!”

The name of the familiar that existed in this world no more.

In a weeping voice, Louise muttered.

“Help… Help me Saito…”

Damp footsteps echoed closer.

The reasoning part of her mind denied Saito being alive.

Abandon this belief… Saito is dead.

Give up.

Give up, Louise.

Your familiar is dead!

Louise bit her lip.

“So what...”

She knew that already.

Louise screamed in crying voice.

“So what! Sowhatsowhat!”

She could not allow her mind to whisper about his death.

“Everyone keeps telling he is dead, dead, dead… I KNOW that already! He’s dead!”

Louise stood up.

And began to utter an incantation.

The spell in an ancient language escaped Louise’s lips. It was a common magic spell, that everyone can use.

“I, Louise Francoise Le Blanc De La Valliere…”

She knew.

This was not a spell one should cast at such time.

What should have been recited were… Void spells.

However, she decided to believe in it.

And to trust in it.

With her life at stake… she placed her trust into his name.

Louise decided deep inside…

She believes.

Because, I still have not said those words.

Louise recited the spell to meet Saito and shouted.

“In the name of the great Five Pentagon Powers! Following my fate, summon a familiar!”

Louise lowered the wand.

<center>* * *</center>

In front of Saito, who was sitting, holding his knees… the gate opened.

The gate that he saw in Tokyo some time ago.

Saito stared with a blank surprise all over his face.

“This…”

Derflinger said in a casual voice.

“…Haa, seems like your fate is to become that lass’s familiar after all.”

“But…”

“Well, Contract Servant doesn’t necessarily succeed.”

“It’s not the time for such talks.”

Agnes said pointing at the gate. Louise's scream echoed from the inside.

“Come! Come come! Help! Noo!”

“…So, what are you going to do now, partner?”

When Derflinger was finishing saying that… he was pulled up by Saito.

“Mo, so be it. But mate, it is your life tha-…”

Saito grabbed Derflinger, who was still muttering, and jumped into the gate.

<center>* * *</center>

On the other side of the gates, in the darkness, gargoyles appeared.

But, Louise was not trembling.

She was engulfed by a warm feeling.

He will come.

Saito will come.

Because I am about to die… Saito will come and rescue me.

Encircling Louise at the gate, one of gargoyles raised a sword.

At that moment… the gargoyles upper body crumbled down.

First thing that caught Louise’s eyes was Derflinger.

Next, she saw the black hair that she got so used to seeing… Louise felt how the tears, that she was holding back for so long, started to flow.

<center>* * *</center>

The moment when Saito came out of the gate, he was greeted by the sight of a fencer lowering his sword. Fearlessly, Saito avoided the swing and thrust Derflinger.

Taking his chance, he pierced and cut down the fencer.

From the back… he could hear nostalgic sounds of Louise crying and snarling at the same time.

“W-w-w-where were you!”

Though Saito wanted to calm down Louise, the only words that came were “Wa-was away for a bit…” - truly pathetic attempt.

Louise started pouring words in a frenzy.

“You are my Gandalfr! Don’t go anywhere and protect me! D-defend…”

Ignoring his feelings, he said…

“Shut up, stupid!”

“Who are you calling stupid?!”

“It's all right now, so calm down.”

“What was that?!”

From the darkness, Myozunitonirun’s, Sheffields voice rang.

“Oyaoya. Gandaflr showed up? Aren’t you a little late. Where were you loafing?“

“Not Gandalfr.”

“Then who are you?”

“A free earthling.”

“What? And I thought that I was able to meet a companion… pity.”

Hearing such exchange between Saito and Sheffield, Louise shouted.

“W-what do you mean?!”

“As I said. I am not a Gandalfr now.”

“Ha? Why?”

“The runes disappeared because I was close to death.”

“Are you s-s-ss-stupid! Why did you come through the gate!”

“Shut up. I am protecting you not because I was Gandalfr.”

“What other reason?!”

“I protect you because I love you!”

Louise's face crimsoned. Even at such time, Louise blushed furiously.

She coughed to clear her throat and said…

“Th-then, anyway… lets do the Servant Contract again…”

“We don’t have much time for that. Just chant the void spell and do not worry, I will win somehow.”

“What are you saying?! Not being a Gandalfr, what can you do against gargoyles as your opponents…”

“Gargoyles?”

“Magic dolls.”

“I see. So they are not human. I won’t hold back then.”

The crowd of gargoyles closed in.

For a while, they were eying them.

Saito set up the sword

“It’s all right, entrust me with your life.”

Hearing him say that in such confident way… Louise bit her lip. And rubbed her eyes.

She was happy.

Concentrating on the wand, Louise began to chant the spell.

Hearing the nostalgic ‘Void’ chant from the back, Saito faced the direction from which the enemies were coming.

From the darkness, another gargoyle, dressed in a differently shaped armor, jumped towards him. He dodged the enemy's attack in a dash and jumped back.

He was looking at the enemy’s foot position.

It was time, for the intensive training he had with Agnes to start repaying, Saito thought.

“Follow the feet…”

After dodging several times, he understood the pattern of the enemy's attack.

Then, when the enemy lifted the sword and was about to bring it down, Saito thrust decisively.

The shoulder of the gargoyle was torn and the sword fell to the ground.

“Ah, I hit it!”

Saito’s hands shook with excitement as he cut another gargoyle down.

However, though he was pleased about the hits… the enemies popped up one after another.

“Damn…”

He remembered Agnes’s words:

‘Avoid situations when you have to fight more than one on one.”

He thought about escaping, but heard Louise chanting from the back.

She said she entrusted her life to Saito.

She entrusted her life not to Gandalfr, but to Hiraga Saito.

Even if he’ll die, he won’t let her down.

Taking a breath, he mustered his courage.

Enemies approached.

Towards him.

Derflinger, who had kept silent till now, opened his mouth.

“Partner, I ask you. Just now, you cut down two enemies at the same time. Don’t you understand? You are a simple mortal; you can’t attack two gargoyles at the same time.”

“Aye.”

“Have confidence. You are strong. Just listen to my instructions now. Move following them, all right? If you do so, you can surely win.”

“Yeah.”

Derflinger's confident voice calmed Saito down.

“Center.”

A gargoyle with a spear attacked him.

“To the right.”

Following Derflinger’s instructions, Saito dodged to the right.

Pon – the spear hit the place where Saito stood just a moment ago. Taking up the chance, Saito cut it down.

“On the right. Squat down. Cut away the feet.”

He squatted down.

The gargoyles sword passed the place where Saito’s head was a few moments ago. Still squatting, he swung his sword and cut down the dolls legs, leaving it lying on the ground.

“On the right. Round up.”

Saito rounded up to the standing position and hit the gargoyle’s groin with his sword.

“Turn around, cut.”

He turned around. Though the spear was aimed right to his face, he was not afraid anymore.

At the same time, he turned around the sword with a wide swing, cutting the gargoyle from the back, into half.

The remaining one lifted up it's sword.

”Block!”

Seeing an opening, Saito pierced.

“Idiot! Don’t pierce!”

Though Derflinger shouted, Saito already pierced the gargoyle, pinning it with the sword to a tree

“Seventh!”

Saito shouted happily in excitement.

“Hey, pull out!”

“Haven’t I told you?! Never pierce against many opponents!”

A new one appeared there, Saito fell into panic.

“W-what do I do?!”

“It’s too late! The end! Good-bye!”

“T-that!”

Though Saito tried to pull out the stuck sword using his leg, it didn't came out.

The new doll jumped up at Saito.

At that moment, there was a gun shot. The doll collapsed right before Saito’s face.

“What was that?”

Then he saw Agnes standing there, holding a pistol.

“Agnes-san!”

Then Agnes threw away the pistol, and pulled out another one from under her belt and aimed at him. Another shot, and the gargoyle next to him fell.

With much effort, Saito finally was able to pull out Derflinger.

Having already used her both pistols, Agnes pulled out her sword.

“Come on.” She faced Saito raising her jaw.

Reassured by her presence, Saito felt his courage rising again.

However, another gargoyle appeared from the other side and approached the still-chanting the spell Louise.

Even though he instantly ran, it didn’t look like he was going to make it there on time.

If he were a Gandalfr, he could make it on time! It was the first time he regretted not being it… *Blonk!* something knocked against gargoyle’s head.

A frying-pan.

Slowly, the gargoyle crumbled to the ground.

Behind Louise, dressed in nightclothes and trembling, stood Siesta. Seems like she threw a frying-pan at the gargoyle that was approaching Louise.

“Siesta!”

“Ah, I hit it…”

Then, noticing Saito, Siesta’s face started to glow with joy.

“I could not fall asleep, and when I looked out of the window… I saw this girl running without protection with a different expression on her face, so I followed! And then Saito-san! Waah waah! Waaah!”

Seeing Siesta sobbing, taken by emotions, Saito tightened his grip on Derflingr again.

He didn’t show being surprised upon seeing Siesta in such a distant place.

Saito leashed towards the place where Agnes had her sword crossed with three gargoyles.

Due to the training… Agnes and the gargoyles movements seemed slow somehow.

Though it wasn’t on the same level as with Gandalfr's power of course, it was enough.

It didn’t take much time for Saito and the others to knock down the three remaining gargoyles.

<center>* * *</center>

Within the darkness, Sheffield was perplexed

Those three were mere humans.

Yet… the two fencers cut Sheffield’s gargoyles one after another.

Though the woman seemed to be a skillful warrior… it was the boy that surprised Sheffield the most.

His movements seemed to grow in pace whenever he hit a gargoyle.

As if, he stopped thinking about his movements, and was just smoothly swinging his sword.

“Hmmm… this must be Gandalfr’s inheritance. On the same level as I. Tough one.”

Sheffield, like a predator watching her prey and a smile on her lips, followed the fight.

After a moment, her expression changed.

Sheffield, with the face of a girl in love, shouted.

“Joseph-sama!”

Then her face clouded.

“But why? If I would take it really seriously, I could take them down at once!”

After a few words said in her mind, she smiled again.

“I see. You enjoy the game? Indeed… Void against Void. After all, this is what makes me and Joseph-sama similar… I’ll simply collected rings and treasures for now. Then, in the end, I will measure that user's power. Because you can’t make her into a game partner if you do not closely measure it…”

<center>* * *</center>

Louise released the ancient spell.　

The wave of Void rippled through the place

She gathered it with all of her will powers' limit… and released it.

The long spell ended, the cantrip was completed.

Dispel Magic.

All gargoyles were wrapped up by this magic… which like ‘even smaller grains’ canceled the effect of the spell that made the dolls move.

All the former gargoyles… changed back to Alviss.

Then, as if putting it under the ‘Silence’ spell, the forest immediately became silent once again.

Zero no Tsukaima:Volume8 Chapter9 - MTL

2008-11-10T11:50:10Z

Ebani: /* Chapter Nine: Myozunitonirun */

{{Template:PREVIEW}}

===Chapter Nine: Myozunitonirun ===

Louise and Siesta were standing on the hill where Saito fought, and looking down at the spreading meadow below.

The morning sun rose from the other side of the mountain range, and light cracked through the crevice of mountains, making the scenery more beautiful.

Both of them, during the previous day, have walked almost 50 leagues. Even though the tent was put up and they slept at night, their legs still felt like a pair of sticks.

However, the spectacle before them served like a healing medicine for this tiredness.

With the mountain range far away, the faint fresh green grass was everywhere and contrast it. It seemed unbelievable that this place just one month ago was a battlefield. The spectacle in front just could not be related with tragic feast of iron, blood, and magic.

However, Saito held the enemy back in here.

“…Saito attacked 70,000 in here.”

Here, my shield took my place.

What was he thinking?

The wide forest line could be seen sideways. After explaining the issue, Louise borrowed from the Academy of Magic, an Albion map made by the Tristain geography academy.

Siesta looked over her shoulder.

“This is a map of the whole Albion continent”

Louise cleared her throat and folded the map.

“I wonder if there is a village nearby…“

Siesta looked into the distance and pointed at the corner of the forest.

“There is a path there.”

There was a path that they didn't notice at night.

“It leads to the forest.”

“It’s easy to miss, but it doesn’t disappear within the forest.”

Though the path was not wide enough for a carriage to pass, it was wide enough for a person, and it seemed to tread down rather firmly.

“Someone lives in here.”

Siesta said.

During those days…　

In the forest of the Westwood village, Agnes and Saito set up their wooden swords.

Though Agnes said that technique is not important in war, she taught Saito some techniques. Technique for rolling, cutting swords, and using it; also the way to feint.

And now… Agnes talked about an ‘examination‘.　

Saito was told to use all the tricks and techniques he was taught in this one.

“Then, I will call you by name.”

Until now, Saito was always referred to as 'dog'.

“What is needed to be done?”

“Imitate an actual combat, naturally.”

Then Saito inhaled deeply and lowered the sword.

“…What? This stance…”

Then Saito scoops the soil off the ground with the point of his sword, and threw it, aiming at Agnes's face.

“Teyaah!”

But… Agnes stood stone-still.

“Uh.”

“The soil won’t be caught into one’s eyes as easily as the sand.”

“Sossu”

Saito put on a serious look on his face and set up the sword.

And for a while, the feud continued.

“You are not charging in? Then, I will go.”

Agnes took a wide swing.

Fast… however, he did not hesitate.

Saito was moving according to it.

Once it started, he decided.

First, taking full-length swings with his sword…

Agnes taught him that striking from the beginning may not always pass. As taught, he kept dodging and adjusting the timing.

Therefore, long swings with the sword.

Bonnnn! The sound of a wooden sword hitting a shoulder echoed.

Garan! Followed by the sound of a wooden sword falling to the ground.

Saito dumbfounded, stared at his own hand.

It was firmly gripping the wooden sword.

Looking up… He saw Agnes kneeling on one knee and picking up the dropped sword.

“A-are you all right?!”

Saito ran up panicking. Agnes calmed Saito by standing up.

“I’m all right.”

After that, Agnes gave a smile.

“Surely, I'm matched with your swords full-swings…”

“I thought it was the only chance of winning.”

Saito said in disbelief. He was really excited to be able to take out the musketeer commander.

“Moo, as promised, now I will call you by name, Faito.”

“It’s Saito.”

Said a disappointed Saito.

<center>* * *</center>

Leaning against a tree… Saito and Agnes were having some rest.

Agnes began to talk.

“Now, then… since you passed the examination, I have one more thing for you to tell.”

Saito turned.

“What?”

“The techniques I taught you have one common thing.”

“Fmm?”

“They are all useless.”

“Yes?”

“In actual combat, an opponent is not always armed with a sword. You’ll never know, it could be spear occasionally or a gun. Or a frightening mage. No, it could be not human to begin with. You will not know if it’s a magical beast or demi-human. Even more, it could not be a one on one situation to begin with. If so, how long could you hang in there dodging? Sword fight is not always useful.

“Then what…”

“What did you do when you attacked me the first time?”

“Erm… I swung and lowered the sword.”

“And?”

“I pierced.”

“That’s right. This is the basic movement of real combat: swing, lower, pierce. It is good. Yet, you have to use the situation.”

“Situation?”

“First of all, a surprise attack. Try to hit from behind. If it fails, and you have to fight face to face, wait for the chance. Search for the chance. Create it if there is none.”

“…and when I cannot create?”

“Give your life up.”

“Really?”

“No, in real combat if you think you are defeated, you will be defeated. Technique and skills are worth nothing without self-confidence. So fake it, convince the opponent that he won. Lure him out of reality. This is the essence of the victory.

“Then, now…”

Saito recalled Agnes's swinging. Somehow, it felt as if it lacked the usual speed. In other words, Agnes…

”Of course, the purpose of it was to build up your confidence. Yet, that technique was worthy of the victory.“

Saito face glowed.

“Thank you!”

“Now if you understand – wash your face.”

As said, his face was covered with sweat and dirt.

“Yeees!”

Saito cheerfully ran up through the field towards the stream.

“Fuah” Agnes sighed shaking her hand, and Derflinger, who was leaning against the tree, asked.

“Pretended, really?”

Staring at Derflinger Agnes answered.

“…Mo, it is still too early to evaluate his progress. But he already forged one year of practice of a considerable fighter.”

“Of course. He has more actual battle experience than you do. Even if the head does not remember, the body still recalls the life threat.”

Agnes quietly watched her hand, and then shook her head.

“Well… I went 80 percent. Yes.”

“80 percent?”

“Well, I may have gone fierce and went out 90 percent. Maybe.”

“You too have an unyielding competitive spirit, huh?”

<center>* * *</center>

When Saito was washing his face in a stream... Tiffania ran up, accompanied by a small girl.　

“What’s wrong?’

He asked Tiffania, who ran out of her breath.

“The Louise-san of whom Saito talked about had pink hair and was a short girl?

“Y-yeah…”

While trying to figure out what was so urgent about it, Saito nodded.

“She has long-hair, small chest, is cute, but a very rude girl?”

Dumbfounded, Saito nodded.

“T-that’s right… what’s wrong?”

“Than, it could be Louise-san after all…”

“Eh?”

“Emma, when picking mushrooms in the forest, saw that person, together with another woman with black hair, walking.”

“Woman with black hair?”

“That person called her Siesta…”

“R-really?!”

Saito as shocked.

“Louise-san! Waah, she seems to be heading straight here! What to do!”

Louise?

Searching for me?

His chest was filled with various emotions. A huge desire entered his thoughts. It swelled like a balloon pumped with gas.

I want to meet her.

I want to meet her a lot.

Louise… his cute Master-sama, whom he was protecting for so long.

I want to meet her.

Tears started flowing.

That noble girl came to look for me.

<center>* * *</center>

Louise and Siesta reached Westwood village.　

They wandered half of the day following the footpath in the forest, which they entered away from the highway that lead to the city of South Gotha, fortunately, they found a girl who was gathering mushrooms.

But when they asked the around five-year old girl “Have you seen a boy?” while describing Saito’s features, she ran away surprised.

Maybe they can find adults to talk to, the two thought. Then… they found this village.

It was a tiny village, of only ten houses, hid well in a small glade within the forest…

“Is it a pioneer village? Yet, there doesn’t seem to be too much left after it was made…”

Siesta shared her impression.

“Let’s ask around.” Louise said, looking for an adult to talk to.

Then… a nice person showed up.

A girl placed a basket filled with vegetables down and stepped out of the house,

She was a beautiful girl with blond hair waving down from her wide hat.

“Um, can I ask you something?”

When Louise asked, the girl made a scared gesture.

“It’s all right. We are not someone suspicious.”

Siesta impatiently asked.

“Um… have you seen a boy around here? He has a black hair like me… and is around seventeen years of age…”

The girl with the blond hair, turned her face sadly down. And saying “Come”… leading the pair back to the forest, to the opposite direction from which Louise and Siesta came.

“When I found him… It was already too late.“

The girl with blond hair, who introduced herself as Teifutenia, brought Louise and Siesta to the old oak tree. A big stone was placed there, decorated with blooming forest flowers.

And on it… Saito’s parka was placed.

Stupefied Siesta collapsed.

“He had injuries from magic and the bullets all over his body. Look… this cloth. It’s worn out, right? His body was the same. It was hard to look at it. It wasn’t a pleasant sight. The strongest water spells would not have healed him.”

Siesta began to cry and tightly embraced the grave.

“Why… why did you die… I told you to run away…”

Seeing Siesta acting like that, Tiffania continued to talk painfully.

“And… in the end… that person who found him, said that he has something to say.”

“What did he say?”

Louise asked in distant voice.

“Please forget.”

“That’s all?”

Tiffania nodded.

Then, she held sobbing Siesta’s shoulder.

“It’s getting cold… please, at least, come to my house. Spend a night in there.”

Siesta, unthinkingly stood up.

“You too… please come. It is getting cold.”

Though she said so, Louise did not answer. She just quietly… stared at Saito’s parka.

Tiffania shook her head and said to Louise.

“Well, we’ll wait in the house…”

Left alone at the tombstone, Louise lifted Saito’s parka up.

[[Image:ZnT08-247.jpg|thumb]]

Then she gently pressed her lips against it.

“Saito… can you hear me? First of all, I’d like to thank you. All right?”

Of course there was no answer.

“When I was about to be crushed by Fouquet's golem… and when I was about to be killed by Wardes… you always saved me. When the Albion fleet attacked the Tristain. when princess-sama was reckless, when… I was ordered to stop 70,000 Albion armies from advancing - you always stood in front of me. Even when I was selfish, demanding and bossy – you always protected me without a fail until the very end. Even though I complained, you saved me.”

And… Louise continued to pour words.

“You said you liked me. Do you know how happy that made me? You said I love you to someone like me. I am not a pretty and I am not a girl to whom one says I love you, only you did.”

Louise closed her eyes.

“To you, I wanted to say those words. But in the end, because of my pride, I couldn’t say… those important words.”

Louise lifted her hand up to her chest and pressed it to her heart.

“But, I won’t say them here. I will say them once we meet again. Until then, I will never give up. Even if everyone says you're dead… even if the spells show you are dead… even if your grave stands before my eyes, I won’t believe it. I’ll wait for you for the rest of my life. But, even that won’t repay the thing that you did to me. I will call you back to life. Even if I’ll be called stupid, I will wait for you. With all my being, I will deny your death.”

Louise put on Saito’s parka.

“I am a mage. I have the power to turn words into reality. Therefore, I say - I won’t admit your death.”

Louise softly gazed at Saito‘s tombstone and said.

“We will meet sometime. We will meet for sure. I believe.”

<center>* * *</center>

Squating down on the back side of the oak, Saito heard the footsteps of Louise leaving. Next to him there, was Agnes, who helped to make the grave.　

“Are you sure?”

Agnes placed her hand on Saito’s shoulder, who had his face buried in his knees.

Saito nodded.

“I am sure. I am not Gandalfr and I cannot protect Louise, so…”

“I see.” Agnes said…

And kept quietly patting the head of the silently sobbing Saito.

<center>* * *</center>

That night… Louise and Siesta stayed over at Tiffania's house.　

Louise got the room where Saito used to sleep, while Siesta slept in Tiffania’s room. Tiffania moved to sleep to the living room. She offered the beds to the tired travelers.

Louise lied in the bed where Saito was sleeping before, quietly stared at the ceiling.

She silently drew the blanket to her nose.

It smelled like Saito’s smell.

If I won’t do anything, I will go crazy for sure. She tried to think about something to steady herself. But, the voice of regret and blame, brought back the images of Saito over and over again to Louise’s mind.

It was hard, it was painful. It hurt so much in various ways. She couldn’t bear it much longer.

It seemed like another restless night without putting a wink awaited for her…

The door opened.

“Siesta?”

It was Siesta indeed.

“What’s wrong? You couldn’t fall asleep as well?”

Siesta shook her head. Her body was trembling.

“Wha-what happened to you?”

“Saito-san…”

Louise sprang to her feet from the bed.

“What about Saito? Hey!”

“In the forest…”

“Forest!”

Louise rushed out, gripping the Founders prayer book. Saito was alive after all! Was the only thought she had. She wasn't alerted by Siesta's tone.

“Which way?”

“T-that way.”

Louise started to run after Siesta.

<center>* * *</center>

The light of the two moons falling through the opening between the trees was their only signpost.

Their Feet were almost completely covered with darkness.

Louise fell down many times. However, Siesta, as one would expect from a peasant girl, accustomed to the forest, went fast ahead.

“W-wait…”

By that time, Siesta’s silhouette was swallowed by the forest darkness.

“In here!”

Only her voice could be heard in the dark.

Desperately, Louise ran after that voice.

Meanwhile, the moon came out and illuminated the opening. Everything shone under the silver light. Even mushrooms looked like glowing.

Siesta stood up and looked at something.

“Hey, Saito-san is there…”

“Where?”

Though her eyes were searching frantically, she could not see Saito anywhere.

Can’t she see because of the darkness?

Impatiently, she tried to recite ‘light’ spell, but then…

Siesta gripped the leash of the bag on her shoulder with Founders prayer book in it.

“Hey! What are-!”

However, Siesta didn't change her expression. With a strange smile on her lips she continued to pull it forcefully.

“You… are you being controlled?”

Seeing an odd sparkling in her eyes, Louise kicked Siesta away. If so, she cannot afford to hold down at a time like this. Siesta falled to the ground.

Louise, promptly, pulled out the wand that was attached to her thigh.

Quickly, she started to chant

‘Dispel magic’.

Because the spell time is short, the range is very narrow as well. Yet, it was enough to put Siesta under ‘dispell’.

The entire body of Siesta became covered with light.

She is indeed controlled by some spell… she thought.

“…no it is not a control spell.”

Siesta suddenly disappeared. What on earth?

Louise blankly stared at the empty space where Siesta was lying.

Then… she saw a small doll lying there.

She saw that doll before.

The other day, back in Rosais… it was the same doll playing a hero.

“Alviss…”

Indeed.

It was a downsized version of gargoyle, moving on its own will due to the influence of magic.

So why is it in here?

Hearing footsteps echoing behind her, Louise turned around.

“…who?”

It was a black shadow, covered with a black robe. The shape was one of a woman. Louise recalled the figure of the highroad artist in Rosais.

It was she.

“What are you trying to do? Who are you?”

Louise at the same time set up the wand and started to chant.

“Introduce yourself.”

“Well…what do you think my name is?”

“Stop joking.”

“You don’t know me as it seems, I introduce myself as Sheffield. Yet, it is not my real name.”

Louise uttered a spell.

“Explode…”

The spell was unleashed at once. The explosion launched towards the woman in black robe.

However, after the spell hit the robe, she was not there anymore. When she came closer she saw another small doll lying there. Seems like alviss, with the help of magic could obtain human-size.

“That’s cheating! Show up!”

Then…

From the dark many women clothed in black robes showed up.

She couldn’t tell which of them were alvisses and which the real highroad artist

All black robed women opened their mouths at once.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Valliere. User of the great void.”

She knew that I am Void user – just who was this woman?

“…Gargoyle user?”

“I can use not only gargoyles.”

Louise tried to chant the cantrip.

She was going to finish Dispel magic in a dash.

“Stop. Your spell is useless against my dolls.”

Suddenly… a women clothed in black robes turned into many knights - gargoyles

One after another the number of dolls increased. Their swords and spears… were looking frightening.

Surrounded by tens of gargoyles the women, who called herself Sheffield, muttered.

“Shall I teach you of my ability?”

“Ku…”

“God's left hand, your Gandalfr, can use all weapons. Right?”

Louise did nothing, but silently glared at Sheffield.

Why does she know that?

And who is this woman that knows it?

“I am god’s mind, Myozunitonirun. I can use all magic items.“

Myozunitonirun?

Though not a mage, can use all magical items?

Are gargoyles moving because of that ability?

Unlike Golems, that after creation require constant control, gargoyles move by own will. Therefore, the corresponding spell is needed. Using such amount of gargoyles at the same time, is impossible even to the master mage. How can this woman have so much magical power?

The woman in a black robe, abruptly took of the hood.

Characters where shining on her forehead.

It was ancient runes. It was some time since Louise saw those.

Runes imprinted on Saito’s left hand…

“Do these ancient runes look familiar?

Louise’s face turned pale.

“You…”

“Indeed, I am the familiar of void.”

Ebani: /* Chapter Nine: Myozunitonirun */

{{Template:PREVIEW}}

===Chapter Nine: Myozunitonirun ===

Louise and Siesta were standing on the hill where Saito fought, and looking down at the spreading meadow below.

The morning sun rose from the other side of the mountain range, and light cracked through the crevice of mountains, making the scenery more beautiful.

Both of them, during the previous day, have walked almost 50 leagues. Even though the tent was put up and they slept at night, their legs still felt like a pair of sticks.

However, the spectacle before them served like a healing medicine for this tiredness.

With the mountain range far away, the faint fresh green grass was everywhere and contrast it. It seemed unbelievable that this place just one month ago was a battlefield. The spectacle in front just could not be related with tragic feast of iron, blood, and magic.

However, Saito held the enemy back in here.

“…Saito attacked 70,000 in here.”

Here, my shield took my place.

What was he thinking?

The wide forest line could be seen sideways. After explaining the issue, Louise borrowed from the Academy of Magic, an Albion map made by the Tristain geography academy.

Siesta looked over her shoulder.

“This is a map of the whole Albion continent”

Louise cleared her throat and folded the map.

“I wonder if there is a village nearby…“

Siesta looked into the distance and pointed at the corner of the forest.

“There is a path there.”

There was a path that they didn't notice at night.

Though the path was not wide enough for a carriage to pass, it was wide enough for a person, and it seemed to tread down rather firmly.

When Saito was washing his face in a stream... Tiffania ran up, accompanied by a small girl.　

“What’s wrong?’

He asked Tiffania, who ran out of her breath.

“The Louise-san of whom Saito talked about had pink hair and was a short girl?

“Y-yeah…”

While trying to figure out what was so urgent about it, Saito nodded.

Louise… his cute Master-sama, whom he was protecting for so long.

I want to meet her.

Tears started flowing.

That noble girl came to look for me.

<center>* * *</center>

Louise and Siesta reached Westwood village.　

They wandered half of the day following the footpath in the forest, which they entered away from the highway that lead to the city of South Gotha, fortunately, they found a girl who was gathering mushrooms.

But when they asked the around five-year old girl “Have you seen a boy?” while describing Saito’s features, she ran away surprised.

Maybe they can find adults to talk to, the two thought. Then… they found this village.

It was a tiny village, of only ten houses, hid well in a small glade within the forest…

“When I found him… It was already too late.“

The girl with blond hair, who introduced herself as Teifutenia, brought Louise and Siesta to the old oak tree. A big stone was placed there, decorated with blooming forest flowers.

And on it… Saito’s parka was placed.

Stupefied Siesta collapsed.

“He had injuries from magic and the bullets all over his body. Look… this cloth. It’s worn out, right? His body was the same. It was hard to look at it. It wasn’t a pleasant sight. The strongest water spells would not have healed him.”

Siesta began to cry and tightly embraced the grave.

“Why… why did you die… I told you to run away…”

Seeing Siesta acting like that, Tiffania continued to talk painfully.

“And… in the end… that person who found him, said that he has something to say.”

“What did he say?”

Louise asked in distant voice.

“Please forget.”

“That’s all?”

Tiffania nodded.

Then, she held sobbing Siesta’s shoulder.

“It’s getting cold… please, at least, come to my house. Spend a night in there.”

Siesta, unthinkingly stood up.

“You too… please come. It is getting cold.”

Though she said so, Louise did not answer. She just quietly… stared at Saito’s parka.

Tiffania shook her head and said to Louise.

“Well, we’ll wait in the house…”

Left alone at the tombstone, Louise lifted Saito’s parka up.

[[Image:ZnT08-247.jpg|thumb]]

Then she gently pressed her lips against it.

“Saito… can you hear me? First of all, I’d like to thank you. All right?”

Of course there was no answer.

“When I was about to be crushed by Fouquet's golem… and when I was about to be killed by Wardes… you always saved me.

“But, I won’t say them here. I will say them once we meet again. Until then, I will never give up. Even if everyone says you're dead… even if the spells show you are dead… even if your grave stands before my eyes, I won’t believe it. I’ll wait for you for the rest of my life. But, even that won’t repay the thing that you did to me. I will call you back to life. Even if I’ll be called stupid, I will wait for you. With all my being, I will deny your death.”

Louise put on Saito’s parka.

“I am a mage. I have the power to turn words into reality. Therefore, I say - I won’t admit your death.”

Louise softly gazed at Saito‘s tombstone and said.

“We will meet sometime. We will meet for sure. I believe.”

<center>* * *</center>

Squating down on the back side of the oak, Saito heard the footsteps of Louise leaving. Next to him there, was Agnes, who helped to make the grave.　

“Are you sure?”

Agnes placed her hand on Saito’s, who had his face buried in his knees, shoulder.

Saito nodded.

“I am sure. I am not Gandalfr and I cannot protect Louise, so…”

“I see.” Agnes said…

And kept quietly patting the head of the silently sobbing Saito.

<center>* * *</center>

That night… Louise and Siesta stayed over at Tiffania's house.　

Louise got the room where Saito used to sleep, while Siesta slept in Tiffania’s room. Tiffania moved to sleep to the living room. She offered the beds to the tired travelers.

Louise lied in the bed where Saito was sleeping before, quietly stared at the ceiling.

She silently drew the blanket to her nose.

It smelled like Saito’s smell.

If I won’t do anything, I will go crazy for sure. She tried to think about something to steady herself. But, the voice of regret and blame, brought back the images of Saito over and over again to Louise’s mind.

It was hard, it was painful. It hurt so much in various ways. She couldn’t bear it much longer.

It seemed like another restless night without putting a wink awaited for her…

The door opened.

“Siesta?”

It was Siesta indeed.

“What’s wrong? You couldn’t fall asleep as well?”

Siesta shook her head. Her body was trembling.

“Wha-what happened to you?”

“Saito-san…”

Louise sprang to her feet from the bed.

“What about Saito? Hey!”

“In the forest…”

“Forest!”

Louise rushed out, gripping the Founders prayer book. Saito was alive after all! Was the only thought she had. She wasn't alerted by Siesta's tone.

“Which way?”

“T-that way.”

Louise started to run after Siesta.

<center>* * *</center>

The light of the two moons falling through the opening between the trees was their only signpost.

Their Feet were almost completely covered with darkness.

Louise fell down many times. However, Siesta, as one would expect from a peasant girl, accustomed to the forest, went fast ahead.

“W-wait…”

By that time, Siesta’s silhouette was swallowed by the forest darkness.

“In here!”

Only her voice could be heard in the dark.

Desperately, Louise ran after that voice.

Meanwhile, the moon came out and illuminated the opening. Everything shone under the silver light. Even mushrooms looked like glowing.

Siesta stood up and looked at something.

“Hey, Saito-san is there…”

“Where?”

Though her eyes were searching frantically, she could not see Saito anywhere.

Can’t she see because of the darkness?

Impatiently, she tried to recite ‘light’ spell, but then…

Siesta gripped the leash of the bag on her shoulder with Founders prayer book in it.

“Hey! What are-!”

However, Siesta didn't change her expression. With a strange smile on her lips she continued to pull it forcefully.

“You… are you being controlled?”

Seeing an odd sparkling in her eyes, Louise kicked Siesta away. If so, she cannot afford to hold down at a time like this. Siesta falled to the ground.

Louise, promptly, pulled out the wand that was attached to her thigh.

Quickly, she started to chant

‘Dispell magic’.

Because the spell time is short, the range is very narrow as well. Yet, it was enough to put Siesta under ‘dispell’.

The entire body of Siesta became covered with light.

She is indeed controlled by some spell… she thought.

“…no it is not a control spell.”

Siesta suddenly disappeared. What on earth?

Louise blankly stared at the empty space where Siesta was lying.

Then… she saw a small doll lying there.

She saw that doll before.

The other day, back in Rosais… it was the same doll playing a hero.

“Alviss…”

Indeed.

It was a downsized version of gargoyle, moving on its own will due to the influence of magic.

So why is it in here?

Hearing footsteps echoing behind her, Louise turned around.

“…who?”

It was a black shadow, covered with a black robe. The shape was one of a woman. Louise recalled the figure of the highroad artist in Rosais.

It was she.

“What are you trying to do? Who are you?”

Louise at the same time set up the wand and started to chant.

“Introduce yourself.”

“Well…what do you think my name is?”

“Stop joking.”

“You don’t know me as it seems, I introduce myself as Sheffield. Yet, it is not my real name.”

Louise uttered a spell.

“Explode…”

The spell was unleashed at once. The explosion launched towards the woman in black robe.

However, after the spell hit the robe, she was not there anymore. When she came closer she saw another small doll lying there. Seems like alviss, with the help of magic could obtain human-size.

“That’s cheating! Show up!”

Then…

From the dark many women clothed in black robes showed up.

She couldn’t tell which of them were alvisses and which the real highroad artist

All black robed women opened their mouths at once.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Valliere. User of the great void.”

She knew that I am Void user – just who was this woman?

“…Gargoyle user?”

“I can use not only gargoyles.”

Louise tried to chant the cantrip.

She was going to finish Dispell magic in a dash.

“Stop. Your spell is useless against my dolls.”

Suddenly… a women clothed in black robes turned into many knights - gargoyles

One after another the number of dolls increased. Their swords and spears… were looking frightening.

Surrounded by tens of gargoyles the women, who called herself Sheffield, muttered.

“Shall I teach you of my ability?”

“Ku…”

“God's left hand, your Gandalfr, can use all weapons. Right?”

Louise did nothing, but silently glared at Sheffield.

Why does she know that?

And who is this woman that knows it?

“I am god’s mind, Myozunitonirun. I can use all magic items.“

Myozunitonirun?

Though not a mage, can use all magical items?

Are gargoyles moving because of that ability?

Unlike Golems, that after creation require constant control, gargoyles move by own will. Therefore, the corresponding spell is needed. Using such amount of gargoyles at the same time, is impossible even to the master mage. How can this woman have so much magical power?

The woman in a black robe, abruptly took of the hood.

Characters where shining on her forehead.

It was ancient runes. It was some time since Louise saw those.

Runes imprinted on Saito’s left hand…

“Do these ancient runes look familiar?

Louise’s face turned pale.

“You…”

“Indeed, I am the familiar of void.”
