Chapter 6: The Imprisoned Six[]
Saito noticed the sunlight shi+ning through the gap between the rills Beside hiently Guiche and Malicorne laid down side by side on the bed, snoring
“It's , huh”
In the end, because he orrying too e to sleep at all
Funya funya, with her
“What a pity the Princess was lonely, after all Funya”
What on earth is she drearills, now is not the time to oversleep We have to leave to save Tabitha quickly
“Aren't you stupid? Being rejected by the Princess, we can't face our opponents”
Saito nudged Louise
“Funya”
Louise, as not fully awakened yet, probably could not differentiate between her drearily at him
“Treating me as a spare tire for the Princess! You're cruel! Or, whoever you want is fine! That's right! Who is the best?! S-ss-say it!!”
“What're you talking about?”
Saito asked astonished, and she realized that this place was not a dream, but the real world
Her face cri Saito repeatedly
“It's only so I dreamed! A dream!”
“Don't hit me!”
“Even if it was dream, it was still you! So take responsibility!”
Continuing in her state of embarrassment, Louise turned away Because he couldn't, Saito let out a huge sigh
“You you are still in the mood to dream, huh”
“What?”
“Surely, if you had persuaded the Princess cleverly, ould have been heading towards Gallia to save Tabitha by now”
“So you mean to say that I am bad?”
“You are the one who said we had to come here to report to the Princess, weren't you?”
“Ain't it obvious?”
“We are trying to save someone! If we hadn’t coht away, this wouldn’t have happened!”
Upon which, Louise gazed at Saito with a solemn look
“Saito That is wrong Precisely because we are trying to save soh the proper procedures”
“Why!?”
“Say, if we lose What would we do then? Gallia would think that we are Tristain's spies, right? Because I am the Princess' court lady, and you're an assistant Co Officer of the Imperial Guards It would be terrible if that were to happen Gallia would strongly protest against Tristain right? It would probably become the excuse for a war That's probably their objective”
“How could this be”
“What did you want to say? Even though we do not really know if that were the case, since we can not re our next do all kinds of cruel methods to attack us We don't knohat they would do After that, ould probably cause trouble for the Princess, if not all of Tristain Because of that, it is possible for people unrelated to us to get hurt Even I want to save Tabitha But, I cannot cause problems for everyone That course of action is exactly what someone who had lost their head would take”
Embarrassed, Saito cast his eyes down
“Sorry But I still have to do it! Logically, I knohat you said is true, but because of that, what I can probably do, I naturally can't do it at this rate Aaaah, damn it! I am really anxious!”
“Yeah, huh I thought the Princess would probably understand, but it looks like I was too naïve”
“We really can't get out of here?”
Absent-rills
“With your “Void,” is it possible?”
“Impossible I don't know if 'Dispel' would work, but in the first place, I don't have my wand”
“You can't use it, huh”
“If you don't have your sword, you are just an ordinary huht?”
“I can't use it”
This time, he said so to himself However, with a look as if he hadn't throay his will yet,
“Anye escape froo to Gallia, but don't worry What you said about bringing trouble to Tristain - it won't happen”
“What do you mean?”
“Yesterday, didn't I quit being the assistant Co Officer? I'm just a normal person now”
“You are really naïve, huh”
Whilst sighing, Louise said
“What do you mean!?”
“You're thinking that the eneht alone is not enough! At least until you become a wanted person, then only you can be said to have cut all connections!”
“But can you actually stop being a noble? At least until you are the same as me, your cheekiness”
At that point, Saito noticed Louise's appearance for the first time Because she was uneasy, he didn't know, but
“Your mantle and your tie clip, what happened to them!?”
“I have returned them to Her Majesty The Queen”
“Returned you”
“Shaddap! With this, I'm just the normal Louise! Same as you, a commoner! Com-mon-er! Thank you very much! I have throay both my family name and my pride! So don't just show off like that!”
Saito was very touched,Louise
This pink-haired feh; my master She had been so obsessive over the “noble” title, and now she had thrown it away easily
For a girl like Louise, that was probably soe
If she hadn’t the determination to throay the life she had built up until now, she could not have done such a thing That's because, as far as Louise was concerned, her status as a noble was her everything
“Y-You”
“What-a-waste! You like high-class wo the faht!”
“N-No way I I' as far as that”
“LIAR! Yesterday night, you stole glances at the Princess and your face turned red! I don't believe you! You like nobles and princesses right! Even though you're a dog! That's so funny!”
As she was yelling that, Louise felt the anxiety Siesta talked about expand within her heart
What if the “like” he has towardsas a familiar?
What if Saito's real feelings are towards Henrietta but are stopped by this “like” he has as a familiar?
Then Saito's shaking off Henrietta's request yesterday night can be understood
The contract I have given his
Anyway, Saito's feelings now are probably towards Henrietta The thing which is stopping hiave him
“I don't really fancy nobles or princesses!!”
Saito said disappointedly
“I dunno such things!”
To shake off the indescribable anxiety, Louise raised her voice
“Why are you so mad? I have already said it, haven't I? I like”
“Don't say it!”
Covering her ears, Louise crouched down Saito withdrew his hand as if it had been stung
“Okay, okay I won't say it any more”
If she didn’t want hi else Louise became tearful
Hearing so his throat, both of them looked forward
In front of the; and weren't they staring motionlessly at the sensitive conversation between Louise and Saito?
Louise's ears became red
They were seeing everything of the conversation right now
“N-No! It's not what you think!”
“Err, I don't really mind, but Malicorne”
Beside Guiche, Malicorne was treer
“Heeey, Guiche I'ame in front of my eyes?”
Malicorne leaped towards them, and at that instant, Louise pushed Saito forward Both of them tumbled over and wrestled with each other
“If it's gonna end like this, you win Hug me”
Having given up, Malicorne said that with a faraway look Saito became sad
“Hug me!”
“Aaah, haiz now is not the tis!”
The h and said that
Froht and a loud noise could be heard
“Huh?”
Guiche and Louise leaped up and stretched their heads at theOutside, a surprising scenery was unfolding
With the huge wings glea at a low altitude, and was scattering so
“Wh-Why is that thing”
Fronified by the showy ic
“To all ladies and gentleentlemen of Tristain This is the debut of the latest steam-run vessel of the Von Zerbst fah the streets, or those in the palace, please come to have a look”
“Isn't that Montmorency's voice!?”
Sure enough, that was the voice of Montroup's return on the Ostland
In the courtyard of the palace, be it the escorting knights, the soldiers, or the nobles alking on the streets, everyone was looking up to the sky
A few dragon knights approached them, and flew around the Ostland '”Do it so thehtest indication that they orried, the Ostland continued circling it
The sentinels ere standing outside the prison in which Saito and the rest were locked up were exchanging glances, worried by the spectacle outside
“Those guys what do they plan to do?”
“I wonder what they're thinking about”
As she revealed her feelings, fro! They heard the sound of the sentinels falling over Turning back, Saito and the others gulped
“Kirche!”
Sure enough, the figures which could be seen from between the lattice of the narro, were the red-haired dazzling Kirche and
“Teacher! Teacher Colbert!”
With his bald head glea, it was Colbert Towards the imprisoned four who had rushed to the door, Kirche lifted a finger
“Shh, quiet”
Colbert took the bunch of keys from the waist of the defeated sentinels, and inserted them into the keyhole of the door
Not being able to find the right key, he couldn't ress
At that moment, clack! With a sound, the door opened
“Kirche, teacher!”
The four of them stepped out onto the corridor, and Colbert smiled
“Exultation and explanation after this Hurry!”
Because this toas built to lock nobles up, there was a suard their personal belongings Colbert moved as if he was very familiar with the layout of this tower, and located Saito's Derflinger and the others' respective wands inside the small room
Kirche spread a robe over each of the four ere grasping their wands tightly Putting that on and following Colbert and Kirche, the group ran down the staircase
On their way down, every guard was already defeated
“Did you both do this as well?”
“They're just asleep”
Kirche replied as if she was having fun How on earth did they e it ith uards as their lead, soroup of soldiers who noticed the anomaly in the tower
“You bastards! What are you doing!?”
As soon as he said that, Colbert as leading them, reacted Within a short time, he recited a spell, and held his wand out A torrent of wind bleay the guard who looked like the leader
“Wh-!?”
Another guard almost rushed at Colbert's chest, but he delivered a blow into the guard's stouards who came up could not reach Colbert because of the previous tere knocked down
Whilst rushi+ng head-on, Colbert recited another spell Fro broke out Because of the cloud of slus were cut
