"Without my pride, I'll reach out from the inside."

Now I know what you're thinking, 'Touma, why are you stood outside the room of the girl you love playing some Peter Gabriel on Christmas eve?' Now that's a good question. I heard a sigh from inside and I placed my hand on the door.

"I`m sorry. Honestly, I really am." I begged, but there was no reply. Damn it. I wasn't getting anywhere.

Anyway, allow me to explain how I got here. This is a story that I'm sure will live on through the ages. A tale of good vs evil, knights saving princesses and the one thing all good stories need; love.

A/N: Well that might've been easily the shortest chapter I've ever written...ever. But it was necessary. A 'necessary evil' ahahahahah fandom jokes. Anyway, this is gonna be a super long story, I hope, with the majority of Touma's Harem. A mystery for the readers about who this girl is. Who is the Christmas eve girl? Speaking of mysteries there`s a secret hidden reference to a famous scene from a movie somewhere in this chapter. A million points for anyone who can find it. Anyway, the next chapter should be out fairly soon (probably tonight actually because I'm in the mood for writing), thank you for reading, goodnight.
