Zero no Tsukaima:Volume12 Story2 Chapter1

“Remorse. I, the sub-commander of The Knight Corps of the Water Spirit and the Her Majesty administrating court lady’s De La Valliere’s familiar, Saito Chevalier De Hiraga, within the territory of Tristain Academy of Magic infirmary, using my both hands, massaged lady Tiffania's chest in an inappropriate manner. However, it was not done on my personal accord, but by the request ‘Do these things seem that unreal?‘ of the receiver, thus the ulterior sexual motive was completely absent. In the year 6243 of the Brimir calendar, Ing’s week on Hemdall phase of the moon. Her Majesty's Saito Chevalier De Hiraga.”

Solemnly Saito read out the remorse sentence. However, he looked miserable. He was stripped off his usual parka and was wearing just underpants. On his neck hung the wooden tablet.

There, written in official Tristanian language, stood:

‘I don’t like big breasts.’

Next to Saito, stood Siesta with a broad smile on her face. Behind her… with her back turned to Saito, on a chair sat Louise and listened to the remorse sentence.

Her back emanated the cool, still present, anger. Even though some time passed since then, Louise anger not only did not diminish, but in fact grew only stronger. Maybe, it was toxic enough to kill a small birdie passing by? – he thought gloomily.

Three days passed since Saito leapt through an infirmary window. When he was about to crash into the ground, it was Tabitha’s familiar Sylphid to save his hide.

And though Saito miraculously escaped the major injuries … it was not possible to escape Louise with injuries, more so, injuries caused by magic. Since he could not move, he was captured easily and brought to the room, where for three straight days he had to endure repetitive violence and forced ‘remorse’.

Louise’s anger level exceeded all the ones before. Not only he neglected her when she was resolved, he also went to the infirmary to grope the half-elf’s breasts.

It could not be helped since she has been made a complete fool. One should be grateful for not taking one’s life.

“How was Saito-san’s remorse now, miss Vallière?”

Siesta asked Louise with a smile.

Louise was silent. With a loud sigh, Siesta shook her head.

“Rejected, I guess.”

The vein on Saito’s temple started to throb. Just how many times he has to remorse till she’s satisfied?! No matter what he wrote it never pleased Louise.

Saito was not aware of the reason behind Louise’s strolls last week. And because he did not understand how greatly his mistress pride was hurt, anger over being treated like this accumulated within him.

Geez. Yeah, I was touching the chest but only because I was asked by Tifa! Why is this over-jealous girl is so self-centered – Saito trembled with anger.

What if one marries such girl someday?

Saito immersed into a fantasy.

Surely… when he would return back from work she would be sniffing his smell.

“What is this perfume?”

“Ah, I guess it rubbed off in metro. It was crowded.”

“Didn’t I tell you that you cannot get closer to any other woman in the radius of two meters?!”

“That’s absurd.”

“That’s not absurd! If she gets closer - push her away!”

Probably common sense would not work…

Or perhaps… that’s why this girl never said she loved him – it was just a strong desire to monopolize, Saito watched Louise’s back.

Surely, Louise is still a child… Saito thought looking at the back of one year younger girl. In this world, one year made twelve months which consist from four weeks, eight days each. In this world one year has 384 days.

Though Louise at age sixteen, was one year younger than Saito, but since in Saito’s world year had 365 days the gap was smaller by 16x19, thus 304 days, making them almost identical in Earth age... Saito shook his head at the thought. Even though he was not bad at mathematics, it wasn’t something to think of at this moment.

Anyway, Louise was at almost the same age as Saito.

And yet, how childish this girl was!

Saito, without noticing his own insensibility, held such impression of Louise.

While thinking so, cold anger surged up.

As for Louise, to prevent him from escaping, she seized all Saito’s clothes. And to make matters worse, he had to bow his head before her…

Hey Louise. Your chest is not the only childish thing about you…

Saito grabbed the wooden ‘I do not like big breasts’ tablet with such force that it cracked.

No, it’s not that I dislike her… it is love in any case, however, it’s not all… Saito narrowed his eyes and looked up, but there were no stars visible. There were ceilings. Yeah, I want to see a star, and when he thought vaguely about the reason to see it, Siesta whispered.

“Umm… Saito-san. Can I ask you something?”

“N? What’s the matter?”

After seeing her face being grim, Saito became serious as well.

“Are Tiffania-san’s things truly real?”

“Yes. I think they are real.”

“Did they feel like this?”

Siesta grabbed Saito’s hands and pressed them against her chest.

Siesta’s breasts filled Saito’s palms and pushed them back a little. Though usually he got excited and had nosebleed like this, but because of Siesta’s casual attitude, Saito became nonchalant himself and kneaded Siesta’s breasts.

“Well it feels similar, but…”

“Was it bigger? Tell the truth, please.”

Saito nodded solemnly, Siesta nodded as well.

“Would you like to touch them directly? Only this way you can evaluate the real size correctly.”

Siesta whispered. Enticed Saito nodded.

“Oh no, you won’t.”

Louise, with a riding crop in her hand, fiercely lashed the maid and familiar.

“It hurts, it hurts!”

“Stop it! Hey!”

Then, Louise’s face twitched and looking away told Saito.

“What about remorse.”

Her voice was shallow and her body shivered. The anger was boiling behind her words – that was the aura she emanated.

However, Saito was at a limit.

The only thing could help.

Only words – I love you.

Louise not only does not return my feelings, but she also demands even more remorse.

This girl.

“… That’s enough!”

“Yes?”

Louise said, glaring at Saito. The courage, that Saito had, vanished in an instant.

“That’s enough, please?”

From the beginning Louise was convinced that Saito’s words were lies.

“Do you think it’s enough? You touched only because you were asked – what a lie! Hey? Did it feel good? Were you happy to touch it? Surely, it must have felt great!”

The vein on Saito’s temple trembled.

“Yeah, it felt good! Better than certain someone…”

“Certain someone, who?”

Saito honesty disappeared to the tiniest molecules and he decided to lie for now.

“Guiche.”

However, all words were useless against Louise today.

“Heeh, I see. So I am on the same level as Guiche. Is that what you are trying to say?”

“I-I didn’t say such thing!”

“Sorry. Truly. Really sorry. I am honestly very sorry.”

However, Louise turned a deaf ear to all pleas. The two people, with their jaws clenched, stared at each other. After staring at each other for a while, Saito grabbed his jeans, parka and Derf from the corner of the room and sighed.

“Saito-san! Where are you going to?!”

Surprise was obvious on Siesta’s face.

“Out. I can’t take being treated like this forever.”

Saito turned straight to leave the room. Siesta tried to follow him, but was stopped by Louise.

“Leave him alone.”

“But, but…”

Siesta looked between Louise and Saito and sighed.
