Meanwhile…
At Emma’s house, Saito, asn't able to fall asleep, was spending the night with Agnes Because Louise was staying at Tiffania’s house, Saito lost his lodging In only a single roo at the table In the bed nearby, Emma was already asleep
“So, you don’t have the ability to protect her?”
Agnesto Saito’s story
“…Aye Because I am not Gandálfr anymore”
After thinking for a while, Agnes asked…
“You were defending Miss Vallière because you were Gandálfr?”
“Indeed Because I was Gandálfr, I could protect Louise”
“That’s not it”
“Eh?”
“It is not theIt was a question about will There is a differenta Gandálfr’ and ‘protecting due to being a Gandálfr’”
Saito was startled
“So, as protecting Miss Vallière? Was it Gandálfr? Or Saito Hiraga? That’s what I want to hear”
“That…”
Saito looked hesitant before answering
“It’s easy to belittle oneself It’s easy to e But…”
Agnes continued
“To risk your life for a woman, is worth a whole lifetime”
Looking at Sheffield, who introduced herself as a Void familiar, Louise asked,
“…Is it some kind of bad joke How can there be another Void familiar”
“It is up to you to believe or not You are free to not believe ive me that Founder’s Prayer Book…”
Louise responded with a bitter expression,
“…And if I would oppose you, you’d knock me down and take it?”
“Not so harshly”
“Stop joking!”
She pointed her wand and unleashed a small explosion towards the woman with robe
Yet, it was also a gargoyle
Another one opened its mouth
“This is a doll, not a gargoyle It’s a special ancient ic iteet to drink This ability… Was used by kings in ancient wars Some noble historians compare it to a play Well, ant to thank you”
Gargoyles approached slowly
“They are not very useful against swordses, in history, they are feared as ‘e killers’”
“Ku!”
Louise again unleashed Dispel Magic at the approaching beings
However… it was a futile atte numbers
A Void spell's power is proportional to the ti chants During casting, a ht by an enemy
“So, what do you say? Join in the war ga cancellation spells? Here!”
All the gargoyles turned into swordsmen
There was nothing she could do about it; Louise ran away
“Aahaha! Strange! Are you really a Void user? Without your Gandálfr, you can’t even chant a spell!”
Louise ran, trying to escape back to the forest Behind her, Myoznitnirn's ic dolls followed her Seems like they wanted to tease, or maybe measure Louise’s ability, since they followed Louise at her own pace
Her feet stumbled on a tree root and Louise fell down
“Hurts…”
Frooyles stepping through the forest soil echoed
Fear struck her
Yet… with her mind stricken with terror, what escaped her mouth was not a Void spell, nor a prayer to God, but…
“Saito!”
The naer existed in this world
In a weeping voice, Louise cried,
“Help… Help me Saito…”
Damp footsteps echoed closer
The rational part of heralive
Abandon this belief… Saito is dead
Give up
Give up, Louise
Your familiar is dead!
Louise bit her lip
“So what”
She knew that already
Louise screa voice
“So what! Sowhatsowhat!”
She could not allow her mind to whisper about his death
“Everyone keeps telling he is dead, dead, dead… I KNOW that already! He’s dead!”
Louise stood up
And began to utter an incantation
The ancient words escaped Louise’s lips It was a coic spell, that everyone can use
“I, Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière…”
She knew
This was not a spell one should cast at a time like this
What should have been recited were… Void spells
However, she decided to believe in it
And to trust in it
With her life at stake… she placed her trust into his name
Louise decided deep inside…
She believed
Because, I still have not said those words
Louise recited the spell to meet Saito and shouted
“In the na my fate, summon a familiar!”
Louise lowered her wand
In front of Saito, as sitting, holding his knees… the gate opened
The gate that he saw in Tokyo soo
Saito stared with a blank surprise all over his face
“This…”
Derflinger said in a casual voice
“…Haa, seems like your fate is to become that lass’s familiar after all”
“But…”
“Well, Contract Servant doesn’t necessarily succeed”
“It’s not the time for such talks”
Agnes said pointing at the gate Louise's scream echoed from the inside
“Come! Come come! Help! Noo!”
“…So, what are you going to do now, partner?”
When Derflinger was finishi+ng saying that… he was pulled up by Saito
“Mo, so be it But mate, it is your life tha-…”
Saito grabbed Derflinger, as still ate
On the other side of the gate, in the darkness, gargoyles appeared
But, Louise was not tre
She was engulfed by a war
He will come
Saito will come
Because I am about to die… Saito will come and rescue me
Encircling Louise at the gate, one of gargoyles raised a sword
At that oyles upper body crumbled down
The first thing that caught Louise’s eyes was Derflinger
Then, she saw the black hair she had seen soback for so long started to flow
The reeted by the sight of a fencer lowering his sword Fearlessly, Saito avoided the swing and thrust Derflinger forward
Taking his chance, he pierced and cut down the fencer
Fro and snarling at the same time
“W-here were you!”
Though Saito wanted to calm down Louise, the only words that came were “Wa-ay for a bit…” - truly pathetic response
Louise started pouring out words in a frenzy
“You are o anywhere and protect me! D-defend…”
Ignoring his feelings, he said…
“Shut up, stupid!”
“Who are you calling stupid?!”
“It's all right now, so calm down”
“What was that?!”
Fro
“Hey, hey Gandáflr showed up? Aren’t you a little late Where were you loafing?“
“I'm not Gandálfr”
“Then who are you?”
“A free earthling”
“What? And I thought that I was able to meet a companion… pity”
Hearing this exchange between Saito and Sheffield, Louise shouted,
