Zero no Tsukaima:Volume15 Chapter1

Carcassonne

Residing on the Southern parts of Galia, Carcassonne is a medium sized city around 400 miles west of the capital Lutèce.

On the surface, that is.

Spanning 50 metres wide, 2 miles long, this narrow but long city was built hanging on a cliff like a bridge. If someone views it from the sky, it would almost look like a winding giant snake.

Roofs made from layers and layers of red tiles are the snake's scales. Because of this, this city also has an alias named red. Containing a population of around 2000 citizens, this city has a long history.

In the streets of this city which defended Aren people(亞人) from invading for numerous times, a familiar and its master was frantically running.

"Stop! In the name of the Queen's official Louise Françoise I order you!"

While running for his life on the stone paved roads, Saito panted heavily. The pedestrians looked at this pair of fascinating master and familiar arriving with Romalian army with astonished expressions.

Louise, wearing clothes of the academy, launched herself and grabbed Saito's waist tightly, and "thump!" the two fell onto the ground.

"Let, let go of me!"

"It's time I teach you a good lesson!"

Louise sat on top of him and pointed at his face, her face thoroughtly red.

"I'm sick of it! You say it everyday!"

Yes. It has already been two whole weeks after the Myozunitonirun led Golomonta army have been crushed.

During this period, Louise have been blaming Saito non-stop. That is because.... Saito's memories flowing into Louise's heart.

Unable to stand Saito's departure, Louise pleaded Tiffania to erase all her memories about Saito...

Unknown if it's the bond between a familiar and its master that's hard to break, or Louise's desire for her familiar..... anyhow Saito's memories flowed into Louise's heart when they kissed.

From Saito's perspective, the couple's memories were rebuilt, inculding all sorts of other stuff. Which can also be said that this memory does not only consist of things that happened in reality, but also of Saito's daily fantasties.

For teens at Saito's age, his "fantasties" can only be about one thing.

"I'll let you off for now about the 'education in the toilet' a while ago. It may not be something good, but it's understandable"

"Understanding that, you've grown as well"

Saito teased happily, Louise turned even redder

"B-but, but...... But!"

At the last "but", Louise clenched her fists.

"'Closing eyes at the court' is not negotiable! Impossible!"

Louise beat Saito to a pulp.

The Ondine Water Spirit Knights, Tabitha and Sylphid extend their heads from the balcony of the tavern to watch the last part.

"Really.... this is almost becoming their daily routine"

Guiche chuckled while gulping down wine.

Reinare pushed his glasses up from slipping and said

"But if you think about it, Louise is pretty troublesome. Saito fights so hard for Louise.... even if he had some weird dreams, it isn't excatly unforgivable."

"Reinard. Do you also like doing perverted stuff to girls as well? Huh~ even someone as stubborn as you too...."

Being made fun by Gimili, Reinard blushed

"It's not like that! If...if you are a male, you would think of these things more or less... I don't have a high interest in these things, just normal interest...."

"Then would you say these to normal girls?"

Reinare gulped down his glass of wine silently.

With this, an intense discussion on the topic of Louise being easily angered and their pity on Saito began.

"honestly, Louise is just like a child!"

"Saito has an impressive endurance, don't you think? If I were him, I couldn't have handled this"

One member of the forum shook uncontrollably with anger.

That boy is none other than Malicorne. Using one hand stabbing and twisting his food cruelly, he said

"Is there a problem with your eyes"

"Uh? What do you mean?"

"It's only a what it looks like"

Malicorne jabbed his fork with hanging pieces of meat at Louise and Saito. Louise beating Saito and Saito defending from her attacks. It's a common sight around the boys.

"What does looks like then?"

Confronted with his mate's doubt, Malicorne tipped his head in the same direction again

"Watch again closely"

The band looked again at Louise and Saito.

And was kept in that posture staring.

Although Louise was punching Saito.......... they only landed on his chest lightly. Saito accepted her attacks and was wearing a carefree face, just like comforting a child.

Louise paused her punches and bit her lips like flirting and turned her head away from him, used index finger to hold down Saito's hands and started twirling.

Saito pulled Louise close, mumbled for a while in her ear, then Louise bowed her head embarrasingly and said something.

"......Idiot. Must be saying 'you naughty boy' or whatever......"

Malicorne lip-read Louise's script with a tone almost sighing. Such highly skilled techniques.

"You would make me do even more d-d-dirty things....... Don't be stupid. Is this all...... Really?.....Really? Of course it's true..... But, Louise doesn't like you fantastising like this....."

Malicorne spun around, about to puke. He quickily regained himself and up, crying out with a fierce face.

"Using an ironic expression to put this makes this sounds laaaaaammmmmeeeeeeee!"

Malicorne suddenly saying things so willfully gave his counterparts sitting next to him a scare.

"Which means that the main dish is yet to come? Signs of flirting with each other, this, this kind of thing..... as a noble, it should be done in absolute scecrecy......"

"Ma-malicorne......"

Guiche stood up and grabbed his mate's shoulders.
