Zero no Tsukaima:Volume16 Chapter6

Chapter 6 - Daily Tea Time

At the start of summer vacation, Louise and Saito decided to stay in Des Ornières. This was pratically a rehersal of what life would be after graduation.

Gradually, the two began to get used to this calm, peaceful lifestyle, so carefree that all the events happened a year ago was as if nothing more a mere dream.

Without more than a few days time, Louise's tense nerves had already calmed down.

Saito and Louise, after dismissing the grandmother Helen with a "take care", decided to take a walk in the woods as usual.

Strong rays of sunlight projected through the trees, giving this place a energizing feel. This plot of forest was rid of all sounds other than the chirping of birds; Saito and Louise was walking along this small path.

Behind the two of them, Seista was carrying a basket and smiling as she followed them. It wasn't long before they found a place with a good view and atmosphere, the perfect location for lunch.

Once filled, Siesta fell asleep lying in the shade of a tree. Seeing so, just to check if Siesta was really asleep, Louise even jabbed her a few times with a branch.

But Siesta's sleeping habits have been established so well that once she had fallen asleep, she will not wake up for at least an hour no matter the circumstances.

After making sure of such, Louise curled up like a kitten into Saito's lap. Then, in a very seductive way, she smirked and started to play with her hair.

Regardless of wherever she had learnt that from, this behaviour was particularly intense to Saito. Aah..., she's, as I thought, can be very cute...

As if reading Saito's mind, Louise began to intensified her attacks.

"What’s the matter? Do I have something on my face?"

"N-no ... It's not that..."

"Then... why are you staring at me like that?" Said Louise with condeming half closed eyelid and in a cool expression. Saito became even more flustered as if a lost sheep without a sense of direction. Saito's voice began to tremble slightly "I realised how you are really, really cute..." Said Saito in a seemingly recited tone. After all, Saito still isn't used to praising a girl in her face. In rare occasions when he's for some reason filled with a mysterious source of confidence, he may be able to deliever a normal speech alright, but when faced with sudden situations like these? He could not be more unprepared.

Therefore, Louise was enjoying this even more. "Well wasn't that obvious? Do you know, there can't be a girl cuter than me in existance"

"I, I was thinking so too, too....."

In short, the proud Louise was was like a fire fueled with firewood. As far as Saito knew, there was not another person in the whole wide world and Halkeginia who could fit that attitude Louise had better....

"You sure are lucky. To have someone like be beside you"

"Just, just like that"

"Like what?"

"Like what you said"

Hearing so Louise became even more energized, her superiority starting to affect Saito. Succumbing to Louise, Saito began to ask himself, why does he feel as insignificant as an insect. However, this self-demeaning feeling was soon overwhelmed by his impluses towards Louise, and naturally leaned in to her lips.

"What. What are you trying to do?"

"Ki- kiss..."

"Kiss, who with whom?"

"Me and, Louise"

"Then, you'll have to listen to me first"

Louise stood up and crossed her arms, getting carried away by the situation fervently. Saito used to always call her Lemon-chan, even laughing about her unbelievably small size secretly, but this time she finally got the advantage in hands.

Now then, what to get him to say...

However..., there wasn't much to have him say given this moment. Only thing Louise could think of was to have him whisper in her ears "I love you..." or something like that, then give her a hug romantically. This was more than enough to Louise, other than this nothing else really mattered. Even Louise began to hate herself for being satisfied too easily, but on the other hand this can't be helped with. After all, even just what was mentioned was enough to have Louise blush and her heart thump irratically.

"Remember to kiss more ro-romantically"

"That's it?"

"....Mhm"

Saito wasn't too sure about her definition of romantic, therefore put up a serious expression and lifted Louise's chin.

"You are just like a jewel", Saito tried to say so but was so tense that he said it hoarsly, not even daring to look into her eyes. Just as he thought this wasn't going well, Louise was already moved to the point that her eyes were gleaming with tears of joy.

Seeing the almost weeping Louise, This girl's difficulty level is too low, Saito sighed. At the same time, looking at the unbelievably easy but incredibly cute Louise, Saito instinctively hugged her tightly and kissed her. Louise, in response, also hugged Saito's head and closed her eyes dreamily.

At this moment....

Crack, sounds as if something broke.

Crack, crack, crack crack.

The two fearfully turned their heads in the direction of the noise, only to see Siesta in a very dark mood gripping branches in her hand.

"Wh-what! You were awake already!"

"Oh yes. Thanks to a certain someone and someone of some action, I woke up just now" Siesta smiled while saying so, bearing a frown on her head and mercilessly broke the dead branches in her hand into two clean parts.

"Wha-what are you trying to do!"

"Oh nothing, just making a bonfire as well as some tea..."

Siesta coughed slightly and stood up. To complete the fabricated story, she also patted the dead leaves off her skirt. Just as Saito and Louise were both standing there awkwardly, Seista took something out from her basket.

"Did the two of you know, that if you add a little bit of lemon with tea, it will taste great?" In the hands of Seista, was none other than that yellow fruit. "Ho, ho..."

Although uncertain where she heard about it, it is apprant that she is insinuating to the "lemon-chan" event a while ago. What's with this maid. How dare you look down on me! Louise trembled with rage.

"Oh wait, I can't do this" Siesta suddenly covered her mouth acting astonished.

"C-can't do what?"

"Wouldn't this be eating your own kind.... or in this case, drinking your own kind?"

"Just eat already!" Louise snorted angrily and walked up to Siesta with a quick pace, snatched the lemon out of her hands and stuffed it in Siesta's mouth.

Siesta calmly took the lemon out of her mouth and sliced the lemon into thin slices, then threw all the slices into Louise's face.

What used to be a peaceful atmosphere where the both of them were smiling, turned in no time into the stalemate silent war that always wages between the two of them. Saito sat helplessly and watched the two.

Skirt fluttering in the wind, then a wonderful scene ah, just people simply want to immerse them up. After realizing that only the human eye, the two immediately stood up, while loudly growled, such as "Where are you looking at ah", "Who do you think this is caused by ah" and "in the end you choose among us Which "like the side facing the only man kicked. So Louise began staring at the snow Starr, "it is clear conclusion has come out, oh," like showing off the victory. Snow Aosta also refused to yield ground to "where the outcome of which is also very far" to retaliate. However, the two men continued to stare at each other, when it did not stop people like kicking inertia. Only people in a sense giving up, think, "Well, if only such a degree even if it is good," there silently next kick. Whether it is worth mentioning is the snow Aosta Hao Louise got a very beautiful girl. Since they live together and that they, when they pay taxes on it - just the hearts of people so thinking also relieved.

Then ......, after nightfall, Louise because too tired during the day, so went to bed early. Bed as usual, or only one. Ostensibly because of their meager savings, in fact, the real reason is due entirely correct only people want to sleep with. In the bed, when to buy, what to say while Louise to buy two beds expensive it ...... buy two beds unlucky friends ......, in short, is to find out a variety of reasons. But this is a good contrast to the snow Aosta buy a bed, it also allows snow Aosta considerable dissatisfaction. Once the protest, then Louise will be a "if you do not give your tired after work to prepare a bed, I do not let too sorry yet" answer for the origin of this claim. Of course, such things are deceptive. Then this way, the snow will be in the middle of the night slipped two Starr's bedroom, and then very natural to lay before the people around you. Certainly morning together Louise will anger. Would roared "not a good buy for you a bed thing!." Then Vista will find a wide variety of snow reason to like the bed is too hard not sleep anymore, or was that the room will be haunted ah so terrible! - Sort of. Of course, this is also a lie. "What is the meaning haunted house ah." One morning, when asked Louise cocked eye, snow Aosta distinguished from the eyes "Uh -, how do you say, is a white, floating, floating in mid-air one. Really good scary ah ......" "Do not lie." "Well, tonight live in my house, you personally to be sure how to? However, Warri Miss you so afraid of ghosts El, most people will not come to the grindstone." "Understand, I want to live." Louise giggle while gurgling sound of teeth while staring fiercely snow Aosta. On that night, Louise really live in the snow Aosta room. Without going ghost appears, then, had a good meal packed snow Aosta. It also called on the people together, did not expect "If two people are in the words would not come out the specter of" Snow Aosta so said. Louise had a helpless man slept that night. Anyway, it was a silly lie right, well, this time it was to the tune of the time people do, so will pick him up in the past, when she was ready to get up so thinking of the moment ...... A white object slowly floated into the room, Louise suddenly jumped. Because really did not expect there will be complete, all of a sudden almost not being scared to death. "Alas ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!" At the moment she almost fainted, Louise loud screams scared white object back again and again, and then fell to the ground, where Mami also emerged. Turned his head covered with sheets of snow Aosta. "You, you guys ......" "This is not you scared, you scared me." Then into a furious chase Louise in the room began to snow Aosta, imagined and even magic are used out, then directly hit the bed. Result, the bed is completely falling apart, beginning from the night snow Aosta upright holding the pillow on his face every day, two men appeared in Louise's room in the. Although Louise Later, "buy it buy it" to ask people to buy before bed "Certainly it will not break the" Only people but head side to side. Thus, only people with Louise and snow Aosta as in Magic Academy when, continue to squeeze three in a bed to sleep. Although the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but for the only people who did not feel so bad. Anyway are now living in peace for. At best, is a house in the event of continued war between a woman only. Will not have anyone killed. And Louise and snow Aosta seem to have their own bottom line, not to this extent before in all maintained eye, close one eye attitude. And this, from the two eventually did not refuse to sleep in the same bed to see coming. On this way, only people with Louise and snow Aosta three ...... no, now includes four, including her mother Helen, so-so flies still passable, but ...... The steady routine that short break or day arrived. Just enter the summer after the first day of the week, there is a visitor come up.

Walk as usual to go before a pedestrian who just came back, I saw the entrance stood before panicky mother Helen. "Helen, how?" Only people opening asked. "Master, bad, a major event." Helen mother kindly round face is full of anxiety and anxiety, panic ran nigh. "There is a visitor. However, is a good young lady na ...... terrible though looks should be the wife of a certain well-known figure, but it really is terrible na. Still frowning like this close to, firmly fixed I am! really was staring me ah! " "Terrible young lady?" Louise asked to "Yes. Well, it looks like also, and Miss Louise." "...... Hair do?" "It is a beautiful blonde." Louise was on as a people, is 艾蕾欧诺尔 sister! "Helen, the lady still single oh wife of a certain well-known figures such things, it is best not to say jokingly oh oh ears will be cut off." After listening to her mother Helen quickly drew a trembling Seal. On the first floor living room, waiting for a pedestrian 艾蕾欧诺尔 back. Such as Louise came after 艾蕾欧诺尔 calmly stood up, very impressive in her face fiercely ...... to Ning Leyi put.

"Little devil! Little Louise!" "Hurts ~ ~ ~" "You actually are so self-assertion! I already know, oh! Knot, knot, knot knot, Keke ......" 艾蕾欧诺尔 breath did not shun it up here. "Water, quick to take water ......" Snow Sita hurried panic Daoliaobeishui to 艾蕾欧诺尔 drink. Wait until the water is drained it, only continued. "Before marriage and men live together on this kind of thing! Your mind in the end in mind ah! Arbitrarily go to war is not good enough, this actually also engage in cohabitation? It's something you'll never approved by me!" After such a burst of heavy criticism by 艾蕾欧诺尔, Louise suddenly Misuzu the "Where, where ah ....... Was not cohabiting it! You see, just to make magic and the owner just friends ...... It should be said that there is no way to live together before it ......" "This is not good. World may not think so. Pull. Warri El family three unidentified women actually, and this man was to live with this kind of thing if the people knew, they would become the country's people as a laughingstock! " "But, but ......" 艾蕾欧诺尔 face turned serious again, "...... Louise. You not get the legendary power?" Louise nodded her head. Before widening. Warri El territories when it has been explained to the family before. "Well, it is said that his father and people said to me 'you believe towards the road of Ba". Sister Do not you hear me? " "But it does not mean you can mess things up by the patience you ah, got to be more than your own powerful ah." "This I know ah." "You simply do not understand you people of power is not a person ah. That was big enough to be the fate of the motherland about the power of self-respect that. Louise" "But ......, it does not matter. Would not cause any serious consequences." "Why?" Louise peeked one direction only human. Well, it's not very good yet - only people nodded. Now that it has been defeated Romania's ambition, there is no need to hide it. And in front of people still 艾蕾欧诺尔, or Louise's sister, is not it. Louise will be some time ago Romania and Garia things told 艾蕾欧诺尔. "...... It is for this reason, the ancestor of the resurrection of nothingness was hampered ......, Romania can not continue jihad. Though my strength too strong it probably will not change ......, but in other words I do not feel the need to weight to that extent. " Moreover, Louise went on to say. "Even as my sister said, if you really want to protect my power, then it is also indispensable man, because no one can better protect people Bizet me." Only people also face touched nod. Has been trying to convince Louise 艾蕾欧诺尔 finally angry, shouted against Louise "Do not tell me here sophistry!" "No! Sophistry is your sister! What ah, the legendary strength of what it should be like how it does not matter? After all, they are just what I did and I am now just like it make you uncomfortable? Can I also, can not always be that little Louise! " By Louise say, 艾蕾欧诺尔's eyes began to jump up. May indeed like Louise said, the legendary strength of what is just an excuse. Results, but the hearts of hearts in his hand grew up the youngest sister, not at all, and have discussed will determine their own future tingling kind of thing only. Now 艾蕾欧诺尔 still steadfastly Louise's neck began tugging dragged out. "So, just kind of excuse, let my father and mother adults can listen to it .. Well, the pull back. Warri El went oh." Only people involuntarily stood to the front. "That, that! Sister!" "What ah, I have no reason to be called your sister now." That was 艾蕾欧诺尔 sharp eyes staring, just can not help shivering. In this overwhelming atmosphere, feeling both physically trembling. "It's just a little credit stand it, so carried away, even wished cheated my sister, and I will not let you!" "Most of the, so to say ah! I just want to go well in a recent trip to visit your family ......" "Visit!? Relying on you? Do you want to do? Could it be that, which will not want to go, put, put, put, put forward the marriage bar!" "No, not ......, that ......" "Relying on you such a small role, but also want to pull. Warri El daughter to marry you! Kind of thing, I would not agree!" "Wait, wait!" Louise's voice plug in. "Sister! Talent is not only a small role in it! His Majesty, but now nearly Guard vice-captain, but there is such a territory Oh! Now, it is already a dignified nobility ...... Hurry up before people! Report Full name! " Only people put on their most solemn gesture, stand tall reported his name. "I'm only human. Repair Wali Ai. De Hiraga. Germany. 奥鲁尼艾鲁, my sister." "Even the title Baron are not, but a civilian background nobility only, less posturing here in short! I do not care what you are not the legendary guy pull. Warri El daughter is not likely to marry This sudden you pop out of the nobility. " "So ......, where exactly is worthy of a former aristocratic nobility title, to let you have nothing to say it?" "Ha ah? Ah what are you talking about?" "I was one, will become an upright aristocrat it to you." "Upright nobility?" Louise nodded. 艾蕾欧诺尔 also shift our attention to the only person. No matter from which point of view, he is just a boy just exotic. As noble behavior, one thing is completely different from the civilian population. That is the kind of innate temperament, it is important than anything else. Such as 艾蕾欧诺尔 born in famous families of the people, there is no other real materials can immediately see that this kind of thing. But ......, Louise, then once it is exported, then followed her idea to even think about pulling back personality. This child really is like me ...... 艾蕾欧诺尔 whisper muttered. "I understand that the next time I come before you had a good teach his aristocratic demeanor it. If we fail to make me feel satisfied, Louise, you should immediately go home with me, oh." "No problem." 艾蕾欧诺尔 snorted, and did not even say hello played only one out the door immediately. "She hates to be, ah ......" only people stare himself. Then turned to Louise. "Louise na you just said to teach me aristocratic approach to the ......" Louise took the whip saw where bursts growl. Are using do not know when taken out of the whip whipping implantation. "Dry, ah what are you doing!" "" Miss El Warri. Please teach me the nobility practice it "should say fishes it?" "Eh? Eh? Has already started?" "Give me shut up. Before the arrival of the next 艾蕾欧诺尔 sister, I want you from start to finish, so tune Norinari an aristocrat who have nothing to say!"
