Zero no Tsukaima:Volume6 Chapter1

Chapter One: Homecoming

"Traveling sure is exciting!"

Siesta shouted and pushed her big chest against Saito's arm.

“Rather than “exciting” I'd say it's more “touching””

With a flustered head, Saito gave a short nod.

Inside a carriage, Saito and Siesta were sitting next to each other on a small seat.

Siesta was wearing a dark green one-piece dress with lace up boots.

Also, she had a small straw hat, which altogether made for a bit of a nice appearance.

When black haired, sweet and innocent Siesta had that appearance, overall she seemed almost too cute.

More than just being cute, it was hard to hold anything back.

Damn you, putting me in this condition.

And the worst part is that, while making such an oddly audacious move, that cute Siesta was still radiating a sweet innocent atmosphere.

When she sat next to Saito, she hugged one of his arms to her and squeezed her breasts against it.

“S-S-S-Siesta, when you get so close to me.. . your breasts are touching my arm, touching me and…and such…like…” Saito said half crying, becoming incomprehensible...

“Ah, I meant to do it!”

Siesta said with a totally carefree, smiling face.

“L…Like that, on purpose, That is… At a place there is a person, like that, hey, you…”

Saito who couldn’t stop talking, in order to sooth his own conscience, just protested like this.

“You don’t have to worry about the coachman. He’s a golem.”

The young man sitting on the coachman stand was a puppet(Golem) which moved somehow or other with the use of magical power.

Now that you mention it, its eyes are like glass beads emitting light.

Consequently, this made Siesta even bolder. She placed her cheek on Saito’s shoulder and her mouth near his ear, mixing sighs with her voice.

“…doing it like this, just the two of us…it’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”

“Y…Yeah”

“I think I heard it sometime, but during summer break, what did you do with Miss Valliere?”

I can’t tell her that.

I can’t say that Henrietta requested a shinobi mission.

Though it was mostly washing dishes and stuff, it's a secret.

“Uh, umm, that is…, I worked at a bar. Louise worked in the castle so….what she did, I don’t know,” Saito lied about Louise. Saying the truth about himself is probably alright, he decided.

“Oh! A bar! Saito did! Why again?”

“Eh, uh, that is…I don’t have any money”

“If it’s something like that, a money thing, just tell me and I would be happy to help!"

“You would?”

“Yes, it isn’t much but, I scraped some wages and saved.

As expected of a reliable village girl. Instead of squandering money, she is quite frugal.

Siesta’s kind proposal made Saito glad.

“It’s alright. Somehow, I managed!”

“Really? But, if at times you are in need, please tell me without holding back."

There is no way I can borrow even a little bit of money from this admirable girl who has scrimped and saved like this.

“I can't borrow money from Siesta-san!”

“Aye! Why? As long as it's for Saito-san, money isn't important to me!” When she finished speaking, the girl lowered her shoulders.

“Ah, right, you mean you are really not interested in using my money right?”

“That's not the reason why!”

“You must hate me!”

”No, it's nothing like that!”

“Really? But Saito-san is always so cold to me”

“I am? How so?”

“I am sitting next to you, and you are not making a move.”

While Saito moved around hastily, Siesta hmmed a little and moved her lips to his neck. This kind of feelings that can make a person melt surprised Saito to no end.

Siesta moved her lips upwards, finally nibbling Saito’s ear.

While feeling as if his brain is about to melt, the air seemed to grow cold and as a shivering sensation went down his spine, he shakily squeaked "Si-Si-Sieasta-san.."

In the instant he said that, something blew the top of the carriage away.

Well, blown is not the right word, it appeared more like some hidden explosive sent the whole thing flying. In that moment Saito and Siesta’s carriage suddenly changed from an enclosed carriage to an Sky-light carriage.

Trembling from fear Saito turned around slowly.

Only to see a carriage nearly twice the size and far more luxurious, pulled by two horses.

Sensing a killing intend emulating from the carriage, Saito became not simply afraid, but extremely afraid. It look like I'm going to die, when we arrive at the destination.

The luxurious carriage released an overwhelming Aura of death.

“Wa…Wa…the roof of the carriage!” Siesta wailed while latching on to Saito.

“Si-Siesta-san!”

“What, What is happening?”

“If you don’t want to die, I think we should sit apart.”

But that only made Siesta cling on to Saito even tighter.

“I don’t know what's going on, but my heart is pure!”

She screamed and pushed Saito down. On one side, Saito is very happy and excited about her feelings, while another kind of messages flashed through his mind, “Haha, this is the end of my life, It really was too short, I hope I'll at least get to return to Japanese soil..”

* * *

Speaking about the second carriage behind Saito's…..

Louise poked her head out, waving a Tea-colored wand, with angry energy emulating from her shaking body. The roof of Saito and Siesta’s carriage was blown apart by Louise with her void magic “Explosion.”

Because of the window on the back of the carriage, Louise could see everything going on inside.

Watching Saito and Siesta hugging each other, and with Siesta kissing Saito’s neck, Louise was shaking inside the carriage. Once the housemaid’s lips reached Saito’s ears, the rage finally reached an explosive climax, she absolutely will not allow her familiar to be kissed in that fashion.

As she watched the roof of the carriage get blown away and Siesta clinging to Saito, Louise’s eyebrow instantly stood up. Just as she was about to spell the happy couple’s doom, someone pulled her legs.

“OUCH!”

Before Louis finished screaming, she found her cheek stretched for several inches.

“Painful! Ouch! Ouch, Ahhh! It hurts!”

The prideful and haughty Louise getting her face pulled in such a manner and unable to say a single word in anger. If Saito was able to see this scene, his eyes would likely pop out in shock.
