Zero no Tsukaima:Volume12 Story1 Chapter1

Chapter 1, New Student from the White Country (Albion)

Part 1

After class period in Tristain magic Academy. It is a daily routine for almost female students to hang out in the terrace drinking tea after leaving dining hall.

Louise, Montmorency, Kirche. The three of them is occupying a round table, they were chatting and enjoy the tea.

That time, Kirche is leading the converstation, meanwhile Montmorentcy acting the listeners part. Speaking about Louise, her eyes was in bloodshot state. She was concentrating in writing something. Sometimes when sleepy, fuaaah, she was yawning.

“Hey Louise, when it is the time for me talking, it is impolite to yawn. Isn't it?”

“You are being annoying.“

Kirche was talking about the adventure they did from one week before.

“By the way Louise, for serious, that gigantic Golem is super sturdy was it?.”

The Kirche speaking tone showed indication she was enjoying this from the bottom of the heart, But instead Louise is knitting her eyebrows.

Watching the two of them. Montmorentcy continued to stare.

“Hey what are you talking about. What do you mean with golem. I'm seriously wonder what kind of adventure you were having at Albion.”

Montmorentcy who was not accompanying them during the the trip to Albion, obviously didn't know anything. Of course that includes the true shape of Tiffania.

“That I can't tell you in detail......., because it is a highly classified information.”

Kirche become more and more felt superior, Montmorentcy face turned sullen a bit.

“it's okay, doesn't mean I want to know . I don't want to my mind to penetrates in the government related concern”.

She was bluffing.

Following, by swinging her long curly hair. Her vision shifted to the direction of wide courtyard past the terrace. The timing just right, she saw golden haired Tiffania just had passed.

Tiffania is walking restlessly, just behind him countless number male students is following in succession. In the middle of those followers Guiche was seen, Montmorentcy expression grew unpleasant.

“That guy!, even I had hurt him to such an extent!, it seems she was not learned anything!”

With that words, at once Louise changed from sleepy state to the face with sparkling eyes. When she knew Saito was not among of the Tiffania stalkers, she was pondering for a bit with her eyes closed.

And then her eyes returned to the notes for the second time.

“Hey Louise!, actually who is the girl that your companion bring here?, I don't have any interest in politic matters but I have interest in that girl only!, not removing his hat while indoor, absolutely I want to conduct an investigation about her!”

“About why her breast is so big?”

Kirche trying to provoke Montmorency with an enticing tone.

“Screw that! It must be a counterfeit! More over it is vulgar!, Using such techniques to the boys is coward!”

Just when Montmorentcy gave her opinion, Louise stood up.

“Eh, is something wrong Louise?”

“I'm returning to my room”

Louise is murmuring with her eyes both blazing and glittering. Inside that eyes she kept a chilly anger of water tempest with a whirlpool,

Kirche was smiling with narrowed eyes.

“Please take good care of Saito”

With merely that words, Louise left shoulder sounds clunking, it is moving slightly. At the same time she barely moving her right shoulder as if having a cramps. This slight vibration gradually turns more frequent, until her whole body began to shaking.

Awkwardly and clumsily walk away. She was heading to the dormitory tower. She was angry but she stop her movement not long after that.

Louise is in the courtyard, from here on out the boys from Knight Corps of the Water Spirit will be practicing, they were heading here. It's not like she was expecting them, but Saito was among them off course.

Clamorous sound and the talking from the crowd become more apparent, they were drawing closer.

Louise halted. She didn't want to see Saito face directly. That's why she peek from the side. If she straightly seen him, for sure she will blow him up. That's what she felt.

Apparently saito also noticed Louise presence. However he was averting her gaze, that can be seen clearly in his face. When she realize it from side glance that she peek at Saito face, that made her blood raging. She can't take anymore that this, at this state she was completely trembled. But........., she can't blow him directly while in everyone was watching ahead. That was because her noble pride won't permitted it.

Louise is taking a deep breath, (gash)! She strike her butt. She was running intensely. A while later, when she can repress the anger, Louise once again returned to the clumsy walking manner.

Someone, but it's not Saito, it is Malicourne from beside him called for her.

“Yo Louise!, we are practicing right now, may we borrow your familiar?”

“P, Pe, PEPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPEPE”

“Pe?”

Malicourne face suddenly turned pale.

“PEPEPEPE, Please used as you wish”

Louise replied with shaking tone. Saito too, his clear face still take a glance at Louise.

Watching the two of them staring each other. Malicourne leaned his neck a bit.

“What's happened between yo?, having a quarrel again?”

“Quarrel? Hahaha!, That can't be possibly happened! Now gentlemen, let's hurry up. The time for training is short.!”

Saito was walking away, his mysterious gait called for Malicourne. Either Malicourne or each members of the knight corps followed Saito with twisted neck.

Louise was dumbfounded, her face was seeing off the back of him. Her face instantly turned red and she was trembling all over her body. Louise took a note from his pocket. (sketch sketch), she was writing something. After that finished, she put the note back to her pocket and walked away..

That night........

Inside one of the room in female dormitory, Siesta served the wine to the Saito and Louise with modesty. Siesta poured a wine to the two of them spoke with a cheerful tone.

“The other day I receive this wine from Marto. By all means, this whine a shining game that won second prize in Galia wine fair. Too bad I forgot the name........... ”

However, both Saito and Louise was silent, they mind sunk to the wine.

Siesta watch the two with face full of dubiousness.

Ever since return from Albion, the two of them have this mood. Their roughly not speaking each other. Somehow they were angry so kept the silent, even their eyes was not met.

There is the another thing, in the middle of the night miss Louise was going somewhere. I wonder what could she did in that place?, when she returned her gaze looking downward, but even with that threatening attitude she didn't said anything. I once asked Saito about this matter, “Maybe Louise has much things she want to think”, He was replied strange expression without looking back.

I'm troubled, I don't know the meaning of the attitude between the two of them at all.

Because of this atmosphere, Siesta especially through the hard work to obtained this wine. .......But even this good wine and pleasant mood set up could not give much merit.

“It's time to sleep soon.”

Siesta prepared the bed, invited the two of them. It seems today in the middle of the night Louise won't take a stroll. Squirmly Saito and Louise entered the bed. Their back is facing each other, the two of them rolled up. Siesta is changing to pajamas after that slide next to Saito.

Siesta was about to placing his face into Saito back but suddenly......, she felt an odd aura. That Aura was emitted from the back off Louise.

(Don don)....., the aura in Louise back was wriggling and accumulated, giving pressure to Siesta.

Siesta withdraw his hand that reached for Saito.

For some reason, she felt she shouldn't do that.

With her cheeks facing Saito back she was hesitating for a moment......., her body entrapped in fatigue because of daily work......, soon Siesta fall to the slumber.

Notice Siesta was fall asleep. Louise begun to move his body.

She was rolling to Saito.

Saito is awaken, glancing from aside, she was watching Louise.

With her voice exceeding anger, Louise is muttered.

“Why during the day you ignored me23:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)23:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)~. Now I think about it it, This is different from before.23:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)SeiryuuChanWhat's with that23:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)23:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)~?”

She has many question she wants to ask, but she couldn't ask thoroughly. So for now she charged him about his attitude during the day.

With calm voice, Saito replied.

“Eh? Wasn't it because you ignored me?”

“Don't distracting from the topic, I'm talking about you right now!”

A smile surfacing in Saito when Louise said that. Somehow, the smile felt lukewarming.

“Don't put reasoning to satisfied yourself. See you are acting selfish now, Louise. Tomorrow we must wake early, now go to sleep.”

When Saito is closing his eyes with his face facing Siesta direction. As for Louise, she was mumbling with declined face, fiercely struggling inside the blanket. Somehow, she was looking very pathetic.

“You are forbidden to face that way.”

She was unconsciously pulled Saito sleeve.

But, without any sympathy Saito responded.

“Good night.”

“You have to face this way!”

“However, Saito still pointed to Siesta direction.”

“Okay if that's you want. I don't know that kind familiar of anymore!”

Louise covering herself with blanket. However......, soon he grew anxious. In secret, she examine the situation by showing half of her face from blanket.

Even so, no change indication from Saito back.

Louise is half crying, as if someone in mortifying state. Uuuu, that was sounds of moaning from her. Nevertheless, whatever she did, Saito not turned to her.

Soon, Saito sleeping breath can be heard. He is fall asleep.

Louise was trembling as if in fear.

What's wrong with you!. This whole week you have been keeping that attitude. Tell me about it?

What about the thing when we rode that ship, you were offering palm of your hand to me?

I can't believe it!

Inside the blanket, Louise was rolling around with angry.

You always said love me before. Could it be a lie?

Was it possible one hour event on that Albion ship an Illusion?.

For some interval of time Louise struggling inside the blanket, bit by bit turned grew more violent, ......., but she knew she can't do that. Why he showed cold attitude?. Thinking calmly, more or less I pretty much understand it. Saito always said love love to me......, but not once I have returned that feeling.

But, but, but. It can't be helped.

I have determined to returns his feeling, when he is about to return home!.

That's why, I hastened the action for finding him a way to go home, meanwhile this idiot always indecisive. Well pretty much I can understand the reason, but still....,

I'm a void user whose being targeted by Galia.

There is another concern with Tabitha mother which has not settled yet.

Besides, abandoned them to go home, Saito sense of responsibility won't permitted it.

He is bestowed by Gandalf power, the reason he came here. That is a not a fake sense of responsibility. It is Saito own responsible feeling........

But since you had came here, could you act a little gentle?. Why did you neglecting me all this time?.

What's with insolent pink haired girl! Wasn't what you like the pink haired one!.

That words not even yet to be said, but the next other words has been drifting in her mind, being both in anger and confusing state Louise was trembled. Now it has reach this state, it doesn't matter anymore the words has been said or not it has already in her head, furthermore Louise grew irritated.

In the middle of her irritation, anxiously gradually resurfacing in Louise.

The most foolish thing perhaps........ is my feeling that told “When a way to return home has been found, I will return his feeling”. It is okay to decided like this, but what if before that happens Saito have change of mind.

If by any chance, not by me he was fallen to the other woman. “I'm glad I came here”, what would I do if that's the case

Each respective womans that she felt charming was floating in her mind.

It is somehow tolerable for the princess for acting strange in past occasion......., currently Saito and I note close enough yet. I can't let my guard down, there are many other womans like that.

For instances the figure whom are sleeping right there, the daring Siesta.

Another instance the one who put so much devotion to Saito, Tabitha.

But whatever come to me, not even once I will put my guard down..............

The accident during the day being recalled in Louise mind. She is the one who were brought here from Albion, the one who have fascinating golden hair, that person right now is surfacing in the back of Louise eyelids.

The one that called with ridiculous big breast.

Among her group of stalkers, my familiar was not among them, but that doesn't mean there is a guarantee. Saito was always said love to me, it's only his personality that acted based on his whim. I'm the most familiar with him so I knew about that.

Now I think about it, that fellow. Previously he was always captivated with woman that have big breast.

Anxiety was being born within Louise, she was in helpless situation.

strange once. Smaller than me!, this is the best!. Now feel like in trance because of what I just said, the important thing is there is no certainty anymore.

What if before a way home has been found that kind of possibility really happens?.

What if before I can say out my feeling, Saito has changed of feeling?.

If that's the case my name will be engraved in the history of the Halkeginia as the most blockheaded person.

The more I think about this will make my mind about to break.

Eventually Louise grew tired of thinking........, she can't defy drowsiness temptation any longer..........., Louise sleeping heard begun to sounding. ［Insert page number 47］

When he noticed Louise has fall asleep, Saito opened his eyes.

To make certain if she was fall really asleep, cyun cyun, he was poked her nose. Kyuuuu, a cute sleeping breath resounded. Seems like she was really asleep.

Saito sung a victory song in his mind.

Because Louise behavior is close to a cat if not the same. Seems like I was not mistaken with my judgment.

When I draw closer, the manner Louise will behave. That will be most likely, the attitude similar with an insolent angle, and starring me with eyes full of passion “No, being a cute is as sin”. I am pleased to say I'm fine with that (sarcasm).

But see......, what about if we treat her a bit cold, What will happened?

First, she will responded with distancing herself while watch the situation. That is the time when she took a night stroll.

Even so don't followed her......., it will become impatient while still observing us, thereafter it will draw closer eventually. Yes, this is exactly like that.

Wonderful, I'm really genius........

Now I understand perfectly, composure is important after all. Saito was motivating his inner self. Because of the composure, Louise become the same as the fallen womans whom think me as if I'm the core of the world.

Nevertheless, watching her sleeping face like this, Louise is looking really cute.

His nose grew stretchier ...., and his long eyelash bend up, the shape of his eyes is closing....., his lips faintly switched to the kissing pose.

Unintentionally his lips drew closer....., but when it was close enough Saito is shaking her head.

It's not yet the time .

It's not the time yet Saito.

Just a little longer, and Louise will completely falls to you. If you offers your hand right now.

Louise will be victorious with smile floating in her face.

No mole!, after all you want to touch me!, I wonder what I should do?, Aaaah! I know, if you want to touch me. Go praise me until the quantity enough for make one volume of book. Just kidding!, I won't give you anything. Never.

Looking all important, she would declare that.

Do you think I will lose?, Saito was gripped strongly his right wrist.

Bear with it Saito, the sweetness of the victory just lie ahead?. If you were tempted here, you'll lose. What I did until now......, for instances did my best to came home from Albion. All will be just like a bubbles of water.

However looking here and there, Louise is cute. Reach for her lips, retreat, reach for her lips, retreat, it's repetitive event, until a voice could be heard from behind.

“What are you doing?”

It was Siesta voice.

When he was turned, she was grinning with a smile.

“Did you awake?”

“Because of certain rustling sound. I awoken.”

Siesta tried to hold her laugh.

“So, sorry...”

When Saito replied, Siesta shaked her head.

“Why did you take no attempt to find a way to return?”

That sudden question made Saito startled.

“...Eh?”

“Miss Valliere always speaks. That idiot, when will he take action to find a way home.”

There was a crunching sound in Saito head.

“About that, I want to go home off course.”

“Then why?”

Giuut, Siesta body drew closer.

“The persons that I was in the care of still has unsettled problems. If I move too rush, it will only left bad aftertaste.”

When Saito answered with serious tone, Siesta is smiling.

“I was right about you after all, I have decided it will be you.”

“Eh?”

He responded with his whole face reddened.

“But surely someday you will go home....., when that time comes, will we be parted?.

The solemn air instantly surrounding the two.

“About that....”「わたし、イヤですからね。そんなの」

“I, don't want it, that kind of thing.”

Saito kept silent.

True, If someday I find a way home........

Honestly speaking, it will be my parting with the peoples from here?

Can I bare to be parted with Louise?.

Even if I thinking about find a way home, not much progress will occurred. I want to return, but at the same time I don't want part with Louise.

Being tore between two wish. Saito was in the swayed state.

When he was about though that, Siesta showed a delicate smiles.

“Please don't seriously thinking about it, when that times comes we will thinking about it?.”

Siesta was speaking like a breeze of wind.........., but because of it, a vortex that seems dwelling in his chest since he returned from Albion is now vanished.

“Siesta it's good to have wise trait.”

That's really what I thought.

Don't even start thinking about it..

I'm sure I can give proper answer when that time comes. For now just thinking only what lies ahead.

“For now if I'm not enjoy, it will be a loss. That's why I will enjoy the present to the fullest. If there is a moment when such help needed, no matter what lies ahead, no matter how many times I will help.”

(sfx when hugging), Saito almost fainted when Siesta hugged him with mere strength equal to the situation with her soft breast pressed againts him.

Siesta are staring Saito straight to the eyes with burning passion, without hesitation she pressed her lips.

“Wa, wait.....”

“Shhh......, miss Valliere will awaken!”

She was surfacing a teasing smiles. When she was finished said it. She was kiss Saito lightly and fixing her hot eyes at Saito.

“It is okay to enjoy this, but you don't do this with the other woman.”

“O...kay”.

“Well with miss Valliere, it can't be helped. For example the girl you just brought here from Albion.”

“Tifa?, it won't be! We are just friends.”

“You might be thinking like that, but what if her feeling not the same?”

When Siesta said it. Saito made pondering expression.

“Wha, what do you mean?”

However, Siesta was not answered. Covering herself in blanket, said good night, she is closing her eyes.

“Siesta please wait for a moment, just now ....what is it, damn!”

Received a shocked in his head. Looking nervously Saito inquiring.

“Uuah...”

Still in sleeping mode Louise widening both of her arms. Apparently she was half asleep. She was unconsciously attack Saito head.

A hand in spear shape strike Saito lips. The moment following that he was received continuous attack from Louise in the head. The moment following that, with her voice sounding an odd tune, Louise returned to the bed.

Placing both her arms on the back of his head above the pillow, Saito closing his eyes.

Siesta words is still resounding in his minds.

Now I'm thinking about it, from Albion suddenly brought to a foreign place, she must be troubled?”

Based on her circumstances during the day, will it be okay if I'm not concerning myself?.

Apparently, she has becomes a pretty popular person....

It is understandable if they want to talked with her, but wasn't she have too many stalkers. It is tolerable if they want visits her room even during night, but certainly she want time to be alone.

Besides......, at any rate she have kept too many secrets. No matter what, that secrets can't be revealed. The more I think, it is the similar case with me more or less. Having achieve extraordinary feat, rank upgraded from commoner to noble. I don't know if it would be turned for good or bad, but here I'm a popular person. Saito has became familiar with it, but the treatment that girl received, what is it?. This is what I felt.

Nevertheless, I should visits her soon, that's what Saito thought. From the Westwood village suddenly lived in foreign country which Tiffania knew nothing about it. No doubt, this kind of situation would make her stressed. No matter how much her wish goes along with the promised from the person in question “I will show you the world past this boundary”. It does not correlated at all with stress.

Tomorrow I will talk to her.

With the same thought, Saito embarked on a voyage the dream world.
