Hello and welcome to the story. I'll discuss more at the end, so please enjoy.
Saito and Louise were sitting in their lecture with little more than five minutes remaining until the bell went for winter break.
Two years have passed since the two got married and traveled to earth. After staying for a few weeks Louise decided she wanted to spend a while on earth to get to know her knew home. After getting the basics down on what earth has to offer and how everything works they both decided to attend a school. A university to be more precise. Louise wanted to study earths history so they both entered Tokyo's University and studied world history. Saito himself was all that enthusiastic, but he couldn't leave his wife alone.
After a silent five minutes the bell rung and most of the students bounced up and ran out of the class room.
"Saito, hey Saito!" Louise called in frustration. Saito was lying on the desk, half asleep. Louise walked up and tapped him on his head, waking him up.
"Huh, what?" Saito said in a slur as he sat up.
"Come on, you promised you would take me." Louise demanded.
"What did I promise?" Saito said as he was confused. Louise stared at him angrily and then sighed. She pinched his cheek, like her sister did to her.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow. Ok, ok let's go. Where are we going?" Saito awkwardly asked.
"To that tea shop I like." Louise said. She gripped him by the collar and dragged him out of the classroom.
The two exited the building and started to walk to the coffee shop, which required a slight detour from their normal route home. It wasn't anything special, but Louise seemed to love it. On the way there the couple ran into Saito's childhood friend Jinto. Saito and Jinto had gone to the same schools for almost all their lives and had always been in the same class, except that he had gone into construction, while Saito went with history.
"Hey Jin to, long time no see." Saito said.
"Oh, hey Saito, Louise." Jinto said as he nodded at them. "Why are you guys going this way?" He asked.
"We're just going to that coffee shop is all. So what are your plans for winter break?" Saito asked.
"Well I'm going to visit my grandparents in Osaka, so I'll be gone most of the break." He explained. He seemed exited about going.
"Well you seemed a bit over hyped for just visiting. What's happening there?" Saito asked.
"Well I visit at least every year and there is this girl that I really like that lives a few doors down from my grandparents. And well, since I'm almost finished my course I'm gonna try and ask her out." Jinto said, with confidence although his face was lighting up pink. He had always talked big about finding a girlfriend, but he always failed to get one.
"Good luck with that." Saito joked, Louise didn't understand why he started laughing.
"Ignore him." Louise said as she punched Saito in the arm. "I'm sure you'll do just fine."
"Thanks, I think it will go well this year." Jin to said with a smile. "Well I have to go pack, I leave tomorrow."
"Ok then, let us know how that goes." Saito said with a smirk.
"Yea well, I'll show you." Shinto said as he took off. Saito and Louise continued on a little further until the reached the shop called 'The Golden Teapot'. The two entered the shop and sat down in a booth beside a window. Even through they had been there plenty of times Louise still seemed excited about being there. Saito on the other hand was face down on the table while Louise was browsing the menu.
"So what's getting at you?" Louise asked.
"Weren't you listening in class?!" Saito said in a fluster. "Sensei said I have to go in for a few catch up classes over the winter. He says I'm falling behind, can you believed that?" Saito said, clearly annoyed.
"Well yes, you didn't hand in that report we had to do." Louise calmly said.
"Even you?" Saito said as he planted his face into the table. "Why are you so into this anyway?" Satio said.
"Well if I learn more about this country I can learn to blend in better." Louise said.
"Yea, a small pink haired girl that runs about shops is definitely blending in." Saito sarcastically said. Louise pushed him with her face going red.
"I-its not that I'm that excited, its just all the new things." She said, looking down.
"Even though we've been to most of those places before." Saito said. Before Louise could answer a waitress in a maid uniform walked by. Louise seemed to like the place because of the cafés style the customers were referred to as 'master' and that reminded her of Halkeginia.
Well its a short chapter, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. So this is a story written by me and my friend Kernals. We've had this planned for a while, but I've finally got to getting up and doing something.
The story is starting off this way, but if we get decent feedback we'll be able to get into the adventure that we have planned in the future. So tell me what you think so far, I'd be grateful to hear some responses.
Saito, Louise and every other character of The Familiar of Zero were made by Noboru Yamaguchi
