Chapter 1: Saito's Despair[]
“Uu… uu”
When Saito opened his eyes, he found hiht shone through the
“Are you okay, Saito-san?!”
“I…”
Saito replied with a croaking voice
“What exactly happened yesterday?” Siesta asked in a hurry
“Siesta, what’s wrong with me?” a pale-faced Saito asked
“What do youho on the side of a street… May I ask if you have found Miss Vallière yet?”
Jolts of dull pain assailed the back of his head
While in pain, Saito reht vividly
He had left the mansion to search for Louise
Then, he was attacked by two s
The “blade” was big and terrifying
Then, because the blade had absorbed the energy, it exploded and shattered into pieces…
“Derf…”
Saito softlyat the japanese sword by his bedside
“Derf-san? That sword? Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him anywhere…”
“He’s not around anymore He shattered into pieces,”
Saito distractedly answered Siesta wept, covering her mouth with her hands with an ‘ah’ Siesta clearly understood how close the relationshi+p between the wise sword and Saito had been
“How did that happen? Derf-san, is he really dead…?”
Saito began to talk about what happened the previous night While he was drunk, he had found the keys in the kitchen
”Isn’t there… a baseet into? Those are the keys to it In the basement, there is a very clean room…… later I found that the room is linked to the palace… and at the end of it……”
Linked to the palace
Through these words, Siesta see
”Ah,” she uttered a startled expression… and then considered so her neck
”Could it be that…”
”H-her Majesty the Queen cah…”
”Yes… Her Majesty Henrietta Other than the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen, there was nothing else”
Siesta was staring at Saito in a scary manner
”Ah, so, because ere both interested in the base the room, Louise……”
“You were discovered?”
From her serious tone, Saito nodded
”What were the two of you doing?”
”Kissing…”
When Siesta heard that, her countenance darkened and she mercilessly slapped Saito on the face
”Pa!” it clearly echoed throughout the entire room
”This is for Miss Vallière”
Saito, listless, opened his eyes wide in shock
”And then?”
”'Then' what…?”
A still useless Saito, who had not completely woken up from his trance, asked Siesta
“From there, continue”
Due to her tone, Saito continued After finding out that Louise left, he frantically tried to catch up Along the way, he e aristocratic brothers and sister They invited him to join theht against the brother, Derflinger had shattered into pieces because he had absorbed too ic…
Derf had beco of that moment, the reality finally hit Saito Overcoood friend's “death” coether in his mind Tears slowly filled his eyes, and streamed down Saito's cheek
”Uu, Siesta… Derf died… obviously, obviously, as a good guy…”
Siesta's eyes were also filled with tears, but she once again gave Saito a slap on the face
Saito stared at Siesta with an expression of surprise He see, but kept his silence
”Why are you crying?”
”Eh? B-because…”
”Is this the ti?”
Siesta wiped the corner of her eye while holding back her tears
”Even though I also want to cry out, because there is no time to cry, I will not cry We ht? Even you had been attacked, and Miss Vallière er”
Saito opened his mouth with an “ah” It was as Siesta said
”I…… even though Miss Vallière and I are vying for Saito-san as rivals, I really like Miss Vallière To be honest, there were ti her, and her personality cannot be considered good…
But I still like her very much Because, a noble like her can sleep beside a person like ht? We are obviously rivals”
Saito suddenly clenched his fist tightly and wiped the corner of his eyes
”Derf-san’s death alsohappens to Miss Vallière, Derf-san would be all the angrier, right?”
He will say, “Partner, what kind of excuse have you come up with this time?”
Saito nodded his head froer's final words floated into his mind
”You ant little lady…”
”…Siesta, you're right This is really not the ti”
Gathering his voice, Saito spoke However… his voice was treered as if he was about to fall
Saito said to hiripping the japanese sword leaning against the bed which he inserted into his bed
Siesta was holding on to this very Saito
”This is it! This is Saito-san!”
”But, where exactly did Louise go… since I have no clue…”
”Anyway, let’s start by going to a place where she could possibly have gone”
Saito and Siesta quickly organised their wardrobes and asked Grand at their faces, Grand was amiss and nodded her head with a serious expression
Io, they walked to the streets
After walking for a while, they caround had deep cuts all over, displaying Bleu's powerful ments…but the pair couldn’t find them
It was as if they had dissolved entirely
Exactly who cos (2 brothers and a sister) to attack hiht, he was a celebrity after all Even though he didn't consider it, there was the possibility of incurring the resent of which, a plebeian like hiet the nobles jealous
Saito clenched the hilt of his japanese sword Now is not the ti who exactly wants to attack If soht them
But… can I still fight? Louise and Derf are not here In this kind of situation, what do I do if I er opponent?
Saito’s body was surrounded by fear and despair
”…Ah, I have been relying on you, Derf”
He didn't knohy, but his own body did not feel like a part of himself The core of his body felt as if it was deprived of life
When they went to the inn, Saito borrowed horses to rush to Tristain When they reached the Char the stop for the night
“Ah! If it isn't Saito and Siesta!”
Scarron welcomed them at first, but when he saw the look on Saito and Siesta’s faces, his expression changed
”What happened?”
“…Have you seen Louise?”
Saito used a dead man's face to ask such a question
Scarron narrowed his eyes and smiled
