Chapter 3: Meeting and Comrade[]

After about a week, Tristainia's palace gave a reply, at the saather together Saito’s letter ”Have you seen Louise?” shocked everyone Guiche used the dragon’s cage to fly directly from Tristania's western end of the Grammont’s territory so he was not late

In the vestibule of the palace landing, Caldecott , who had been prouards, came out to welcome Guiche

“Gra”

“What happened? I heard Louise waslike that……”

”I do not quite understandIn all, you see, is she not a person related to the state secrets? So we are coations ”

“So you are saying you haven’t found her yet?”

Caldecott replied with a nod

“Speaking of which, where’s Saito”

“This, ah, you’re talking about Vice-captain Saito……He is really giving us a headache”

“What do you mean?”

“He is currently undergoing a strange cere “worry” so about yes or no ……”

Guiche wondered Exactly hoas even Saito not his usual self? In short, in order to be able to understand the incident in detail, Guiche rushed into the garden first

When Guiche reached the courtyard, he saw Malicorne and Reynald Their home was not far from here, and it seemed like they arrived here early

“Yo, you two What happened to Saito?” After asking, Malicorne pointed with his finger

On his head wrapped in a white sash, Saito was sitting in the center of the courtyard in a straight position Surrounding hi stakes A little distance away, Siesta, with a wondrous expression, was also sitting

“What is that guy doing?”

“I also don’t understand He said it was for ‘exercising the body and ”

Ti Guiche and the others felt the tension in the air The moment Guiche sed his saliva ……Saito’s shoulderstowards the left flank of the sword

The moht, his knees touched the ground At the saht hand vanished Whoosh!+ The sound of air being cut, the four round stakes around Saito treh the surroundings He thought he had pulled out his sword, but the sword remained sheathed

That really was fast, Guiche atching on the sides did not understand what happened

“What? That!”

“That guy took out his sith a speed the naked eye cannot keep up with, and broke the round stakes!”

What was surprising is that the upper part of the round wood stakes did not fall to the ground, it was still in the lower half of the above It was hard to tell from the upper part and the lower half that the four round stakes were severed perfectly

”He drew his sword? But, the sword is still sheathed?”

Guiche finished with a silly voice, Reynald shook his head

“He drew the sword out, cut off the stakes and then kept the sword in the scabbard again It is said that this is the sword skills of his country ”

Seely in the blink of an eye, Saito completed all this He really is a ‘sword master’,said Guiche, deeply moved

“Well It is iot to do orrying over Louise’s disappearance?”

“Only God knows”

Next, Saito resuht position Siesta stood up and rushed up to Saito's side to wipe the sweat from his forehead

It’s about time, Guiche walked over to Saito

Saito did not take a glance at his friends nearby; he just kept staring in front in a daze

“Yo, Saito What happened? It is said that Louise is ?”

“Where is the sword you usually carry? I have never seen that sword on your waist before ”

Saito bit his lips

“Derf he……that guy……to protect me……damn!”

“Protect you? What happened?”

“He……in the battle absorbed too ic……”

“I beg your pardon! How inharmonious! Exactly who attacked you!”

The boys leaned nearer to Saito

“Don’t know Just that they are a duo of ic users”

The boys nodded their heads at Saito’s reply

”Well, it appears to be a hired assassin How nerve-racking, you seem to make enemies too much recently ”

“He is a big celebrity”

“and what has this got to do with Louise’s disappearance?” Gimli asked worriedly?

Everyone looked at Saito with a wondrous expression; Saito slaround Siesta continued from where her master left off

“No Miss Valliere’s disappearance has nothing to do with the incident where Saito-san was attacked”

Siesta thought her words carried so down to peep at his face

“Hey, Saito-san How do you feel?”

“My , ,……”

Saito grumbled constantly with a mutter

“Looks like the person wearing pajamas is very powerful That lady, after all,Her chest is ”

Siesta tighten Saito's neck

“If you want to cheat, you can always look for me! I have obviously told you that! We proirls! The aroma of the pitiful flowers by the roadside should also be carefully admired!”

“Speaking of which, who is the other person?” Guiche’s seems to suspiciously inquire Siesta’s eyes turned into a one [?]sign and she started breaking out in cold sweat If Guiche knew the truth he would most certainly faint

The two did not answer, Guiche had no choice but to wave his hand

“Well, whoever it is You're a hopeless man You should at least learn from me At least”

Because Guiche uttered those words, Reynald spat at the ground

“If he learns from you, Louise will definitely run away everyday”

Saito helped by Siesta, slowly stood up Then, slickly he greeted Guiche

“Anyway, thanks for specially co for me”

Saito expressed a s face that looked al an effort to be happy——his voice revealed this kind of feeling

“No, Well, I have nothing much to do anyway……”

“Speaking of which, Louise didn’t go over to your side?”

“Nope”

“That means she hasn't been found teht?”

“Yes Including monasteries, I have looked before”

These past seven day, after Saito prepared his practice of exercising his heart, he searched Tristinia’s hotels again The tea to do was sent out to search, but they could not even find Louise's shadow This is obvious, after all, Louise went to Torres Thalia, a completely different direction

The letter, ’Have you seen Louise?’, that Saito mailed usually received replies such as ‘have not seen her’

Cattelya’s letter has also been received She did not intend to hide anything so she immediately said the truth Her answer is ”She did not come back

In the letter, she said that she orried about the safety of Louise; and had reported this matter to her parents, they said that ‘that child will be back soon’ kind of optimistic speech; However, on this matter, she does not think so, she hoped Saito can think of ways to find Louise as soon as possible

When reading this letter, Saito cried Nothing written on it blamed Saito

‘Theso hed heavily on his shoulders

Even though Saito said “it will be okay if we search”, he did not find Henrietta to discuss about it Louise is not just a feinia, her presence itself is very is would be serious Therefore, Saito put all the nobles who had nothing to do into the search team

They searched theTristainia

Considering Louise’s point of view, she will be more responsible for her own actions but this action of hers is taken too lightly

Having said that, Saito and Henrietta was not bla

“Okay If that’s the case, she is not at Tristania ……then, we should search the street along the hotel next Perhaps the search tea……”

After Saito finished speaking, Siesta nodded her head in agreement

“We will help as well”

Saito held tightly the hand of the friend that said that sentence, who had a look of worry on her face

”I' you I owe you a favour”

At this moment, a soft voice came from the corridor

“Saito~~~~~~~!”

Turning his head to look behind, Tiffania, as always dressed in a green dress, wearing a wide-brimmed hat on her head ran over

“Huff huff, I heard that Louise went ……is that true?”

Tiffania spent her sue

“While I was on a picnic with everyone, I received a letter suddenly and almost jumped up in shock What happened?”

Great, just when everyone was thinking how to answer, Colbert-sensei and Kirche came from the direction of the main entrance

“Aiya Aiya, I finally found out the use of the” tank ” Miss (Sheffield)’s house to reforone What happened?”

Saito painfully replied to Colbert’s inquiry

“I……about that, with another girl, that ……lips touching scene, she……”

Colbert, although stunned at that moment , folded his arms and nodded

“I see what this is all about……You are still young, so if you can’t control it’s understandable, but……she is thus wounded in her heart”

Kirche put her hands around separately and said helplessly

“Really, this is why I told her seriously I said ‘It’s tough being a woman’ ”

Tiffania looked at Saito with a gaze full of wrath Malicorne went over and greeted Tiffania politely

“Girls, regarding this incident, please say your feelings”

Tiffania stated reasonably

“Saito is really bad Louise is pitiful”

Saito could not help but fall on the spot

“Ah, AhAhAhAhAhAh……AhAhAh……”

“Use language to whip hiuy with the occasional set of achieveenerated into this kind of junk Abasket!Hey buddy, don’t forget what position you’re in now…… You upstart jerk ……”

Malicorne lifted his eyebrows, tra on Saito non-stop Malicorne was picky towards popular topics sob, sob……Saito cried in shame Saito is inconsolable when he is depressed

Kirche said with a tilted head

“But……who is the rival?”

“This guy would not talk about that” Malicorne said while stepping on Saito’s back

“Ah, but that Louise ran away fro the servant wouldn't make her mad like this That’s why I am very concerned about it It is possible that the other party is quite close to himsort of?”

At this e

“You, the other person couldn’t be Montht?”

“Can’t be (Brigitte) right?”

“N-not Miss (Janice), right?”

(Gimli) interrupted Reynald

“So you like that type of girl”

“No! That’s not it! I’!”

Reynald whose face flushed red shouted In such a commotion, Saito shook his head

“……Not any of them”

“Then who is it! You’repeople care more about this~~~~~!”

Seeing Guiche and the others surrounding Saito, Kirche tilted her head

“What’s wrong?”
