Louise woke up and looked around the room, seeing that her clothes were still unwashed and Saito was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is that good for nothing dog?" Louise said angrily.
Louise looked around the room and spied a piece of paper on the table. She moved to the table and looked at it. Seeing as it was a letter, she began to read:
Dear 'master,' while you read this, I'm long gone. You see, I'm a little tired of being constantly called 'dog' and being treated with less respect than even a dog. So I decided to break our contract. Do not worry, for I have found an alternative way of doing it; so now I don't need to kill myself, just in case you're wondering. Now you can summon a proper 'dog'.
"How dare him to run away! If I find him, I will make him wish he had never run away," Louise screamed loudly before exiting her room.

In the courtyard Louise sat alone at one of the tables, waiting for one of the maids to bring her tea; but she was interrupted by Kirche who is together with her friend, Tabitha.
"Hey, Louise, where is Darling?" asked Kirche, not seeing Saito around. Louise said something with a low voice, but Kirche didn't hear her.
"I can't hear you, Louise, speak louder," she prompted
"HE RAN AWAY!" Louise shouted for nearly all the courtyard to hear, and then continued, "Now, can you let me alone? I am still waiting fo-" Louise was interrupted by a loud crash. She looked back and saw that Siesta had dropped a tray with cups of tea on the floor; she stood in place with a face devoid of emotion, but she suddenly rushed over to Louise.
"Where did he run? Why did he run?" Siesta asked with tears in her eyes.
"Why should I know why the dog ran off to? He just left a letter saying some pointless thing…here, read it if you want!" Louise said as she took the letter from her pocket and gave it to Siesta.
"I-I can't read, Miss de La Vallière," Siesta said, so Kirche took the letter from Siesta's hand.
"I will read it," said Kirche and started to read for all to hear:
"Dear 'master,' while you read this, I'm long gone. You see, I'm a little tired of being constantly called 'dog' and being treated with less respect than even a dog. So I decided to break our contract. Do not worry, for I have found an alternative way of doing it; so now I don't need to kill myself, just in case you're wondering. Now you can summon a proper 'dog'."
After she finished reading, she give the letter back to Louise, by this time Siesta had stopped crying, but now she glared at Louise with hatred.
"Why do you stare at me, maid?" Louise asked haughtily, showing how annoyed she was.
"This is all your fault," Siesta said before she turned and ran away.
"Well, I can't say I didn't expect this to happen sudden or later," Kirche spoke out, with Tabitha nodding her agreement.
"What is that supposed to mean, you harlot? For what reason should a dog like him want to run away? To serve someone like me should be an honor for someone like him," Louise spoke angrily; unaware of how much her conversation with Kirche was attracting the attention of the other people present.
"Maybe I'm a harlot, as you say, and maybe I'm not…but you sure are a bitch to treat a person, even a commoner, like a dog, de La Vallière! No, sorry, you don't even treat a real dog this bad! You don't seem to have realized this yet…but who saved you from being crushed like an ant, anyway?!" Kirche asked Louise with a strict voice.
"Who are you to judge what I do with my familiar, Zerbst?" Louise retorted.
"He is not you familiar anymore, de La Vallière!"
"Yes, this is the only good thing he has done for me till now. Maybe now I can summon a real dog or something more useful," said Louise as she left to go to Professor Colbert and tell him that she needed to summon a new familiar.
***Break***
Louise tried to find Colbert, but she didn't really know where he was. When she saw another one of the teachers, she decided to ask him. Finding that Colbert was in the Headmaster's Office, she went to meet him. Fifteen minutes later Louise stood in front of the Headmaster's door. After knocking, and hearing permission to enter, she found the Headmaster and Professor Colbert looking at an old book; but they looked up when she entered the room.
"What can I help you with, Miss de La Vallière?" The Headmaster asked.
"I need to summon a new familiar," Louise stated plainly.
"But you already have a familiar, Miss de La Vallière." Colbert replied.
"Saito has run away and somehow he managed to break the familiar contract."
"So he is still alive?" Old Osmond asked.
"Apparently so, but I don't know where he is."
"And you just plan to summon a new familiar, rather than try to make Saito come back?" Colbert asked. For him, Saito is a very interesting boy; he helped him with some of his experiments and even helped him to create a prototype for a steam engine.
"Why should I? It was his choice…I don't care what he does anymore," Louise replied in a sullen tone.
"Fine, Miss de La Vallière. I need to speak with the Headmaster about something, and later we will prepare for you to summon a new familiar."
"Thank you," Louise spoke before exiting the room, leaving Colbert and Old Osmond alone.

Time skip – Louise's Summoning Ritual
People who heard of what happened between Louise and her familiar that ran away came to see Louise the Zero summon another commoner…or if she is lucky, maybe a rat or a dog.
"You can do it, Louise the Zero…but this time summon something that will not run away from you," a kid called out, and soon more and more people started to laugh at Louise, whose face flushed red from anger.
"That is enough! Miss de La Vallière, if you can, start your summoning ritual," Colbert ordered, so Louise raised her wand and spoke.
"My servant who lies somewhere in the universe, answer my call."
For a short time nothing happened, not an explosion, not an animal, nothing. But as Louise prepared to try again, a gigantic magic circle appeared on the ground and from that a black chain flew out and attached to Louise's left arm. She didn't try to pull her arm loose; she just looked at the gigantic circle from which something resembling a giant paw pushed out, followed by another paw, until something that looked like a gigantic wolf appeared. The wolf had silver fur, red eyes, and sharp claws, and wore a collar that was attached to the chain from Louise's arm.
'I summoned this?' Louise asked herself
"You called me, little girl?" The big wolf asked.
"Y-y-you can speak?" Louise asked, surprised.
"Yes, I can. Now tell me…you are the one who called me?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"To be my familiar," Louise replied.
"Well, because you managed to break my chain, I will accept you as my master. Another one hundred years is not much. Tell me what you name, child?"
"Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Vallière."
"Then Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, because you managed to break the chain that bound me, I accept you as my master. But I have three conditions first."
"Well spoken."
"First: you will feed me only with meat-anything else is not acceptable! I expect a big amount; you see for yourself that I'm not really small. Next: you will refer to me only by my name. You will only learn it if you accept my conditions. And finally: DON'T ever dare to call ME a 'DOG' or you will suffer a slow and painful death."
Some laughter was heard after the big wolf told his conditions, but no one dared to say anything. Maybe it was just a wolf, but no one wanted to make a wolf as big as the entire academy angry.
"So do you accept?"
"Well, the second and third is not a problem, but the first might be a problem. But I will do my best…so what is your name?" Louise said.
"My name is Fenrir. The chain you have at you hand is the symbol of our contract. Don't worry, the chain is infinite so it will not matter how far apart we are-the chain will not affect you or me-you can speak to me at very long distances using this chain. If you are in trouble you can summon me to your location. Now finish the binding contract."
"Well, that is a problem…I can't get to your head."After Louise spoke a blinding light appeared and after a few seconds Fenrir had shrunk to the size of a normal wolf.
"This is better?" asked Fenrir.
"Yes…just out of curiosity, was your strength altered along with your size?"
"Not really. I still can knock down a castle with a swing of my tail," Fenrir said and Louise nodded.
"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon that governs the five powers, give this beast your blessing and make it my familiar spirit," Louise spoke and kissed Fenrir on his head. After the contract was made the chain from Louise's hand turned white and disappeared from view, and on Fenrir's left paw a rune appeared.
"Good job, Miss de La Vallière. Now all of you back to your class."
After all the people left, Louise and her new familiar made their way to Louise's room. If they would have stayed a few more moments they would have seen something else come through the same portal as Fenrir; but this time it was something that resembled a snake.
"So Fenrir has already taken her…that means I need to find myself a master as well," the snake said. It transformed into a woman with yellow slit eyes dressed in a hooded robe, before leaving the school's grounds.
