After getting caught by Guiche and finding out he's in another world, Ryu now sits in Louise's room, collared and chained down. Ryu explains to Louise that he was summoned from another world.
"Earth?" Louise repeated.
"Yes, up until a few hours ago, I was in Tokyo, Japan, on Earth," Ryu said.
"I don't believe it. For such a different world to exist…" Louise said.
"I don't want to believe it either! Anyway, send me back to my home!" Ryu demanded.
"Impossible," Louise said bluntly. She moves her hands up to her cape.
"Don't lie to me! Send me back-" Louise tosses her cape over Ryu's face, interrupting him.
He pulls it off his face and blushes as he sees Louise undressing herself.
"No matter who it's with or where they're from, the contract is absolute!" Louise said.
She throws her clothes at Ryu, who stares at her in shock.
"What are you doing?!" Ryu shouted.
Louise stands in front of him wearing only a pink lingerie top and white panties.
"I'm changing for bed," Louise said nonchalantly.
She snaps her fingers and the light dims. Louise then lowers her top in front of Ryu, who's eyes nearly popped out in shock and quickly turns around.
"Don't change when I'm in here!" Ryu said, sounding embarrassed.
"Why?" Louise asked, sounding curious.
"Why?! Are you okay with changing in front of a guy?!" Ryu asked.
Ryu felt something on his head. He pulls it off and sees it's Louise's top.
"A guy? You're nothing more than a familiar," Louise said plainly.
"What?!" Ryu said loudly, sounding insulted.
He quickly turned around to face her but then felt something hit his face. Ryu grabs it and sees Louise's panties in his hand. He immediately throws it away from him. While he was distracted, Louise puts on a nightgown and gets into bed.
"Okay, wash those for me," Louise orders.
"Wait… why do I have to wash your clothes!" Ryu asked.
"Because, if you don't, who's going to take care of you," Louise replied.
"What?" Ryu asked.
"You're my familiar, right? If you don't do your job, you don't get fed, simple as that." Ryu stays motionless as Louise continues talking. "Now that that's settled, get to work, I'm going to sleep…"
Louise fell asleep, leaving Ryu sitting in eerie silence. Ryu felt a vein pop, standing while gritting his teeth in vengeful anger. He walks slowly towards the sleeping Louise, while an unknown yellow aura covers his body.
"You… damn… brat…" Ryu said quietly, seething with hatred. Ryu raises a fist and is ready to attack her, but Ryu grabs his fist with his other hand and takes a deep breath. "Calm down Ryu, nothing good comes from rage."
The yellow aura covering Ryu's body slowly dissipates as he continuously takes deep breaths. He lowers his fist and he takes deep breaths. Ryu glares down at Louise, who's breathing softly as she sleeps. Ryu moves over to his makeshift bed and sits down with his legs crossed. Ryu takes a deep breath and meditates, trying to control his anger.
After five minutes, he's calmed down somewhat.
"Looks like I have no choice now." Ryu lays down on his bed of hay on his side. "Cold…" Ryu said before closing his eyes.
(Morning)
Ryu pulls off Louise's covers, walking her up. Louise looks at Ryu with a confused look.
"Who are you?" Louise asked, yawning. Ryu tosses her clothes on her lap.
"Here's your clothes." Louise looks at her clothes in confusion. "You told me to clean them by the morning," Ryu said.
"Oh… the familiar… that's right, I summoned one yesterday." Louise sits up, rubbing her eyes. She looks at her clothes and notices something."And the underwear?" Louise asked, seeing no underwear with clothes.
"You can get those for yourself, at least!" Ryu said.
"Then you can go without a meal," said Louise. Ryu grits his teeth. Louise motions her head towards her drawer. "In the bottom drawer."
Ryu reluctantly goes over to the drawer and pulls it out.
"Unbelievable, here!" Ryu throws a pair of panties towards Louise.
Louise gets out of bed. Ryu holds up his chain collar.
"Can you take this thing off me?" Ryu asked.
"No," said Louise while she gets dressed.
"Come on! I'm not gonna run away! There's nowhere for me to run to anyway," Ryu pleaded.
"Shut up! Fine!" Louise throws her clothes at Ryu's back. "Dress me," Louise orders.
"Put your own clothes on," said Ryu. Louise looks at him like he's stupid.
"Nobles that have servants never dress themselves!" Louise yells.
"Noble! You're hardly one-" Ryu said before being interrupted.
"Fine, I guess you won't be needing a meal then. And you want to keep that chain on too?" said Louise. Ryu clutches his fists in anger, staring at the infuriating girl.
Ryu walks over and begrudgingly begins to dress Louise. After two minutes, Louise was dressed in her uniform.
"Okay, you're dressed now. Now take this off!" Ryu demanded, holding up the chain.
"I guess I have no choice," said Louise.
She takes out a key and grabs the lock on Ryu's collar. As she unlocks the collar, Ryu gets a closer look at Louise.
"She'd be cuter if she didn't talk all the time," Ryu thought to himself. Louise felt him staring at her.
"What?" Louise asked.
Ryu caught himself and replied "No, nothing."
Louise takes the collar and drops it on the floor. Ryu rubs his neck, finally feeling free from it. Louise walks away before speaking up.
"Let's go," said Louise.
Ryu looks at her and asks, "Where to?"
Louise walks over to her table and picks up her wand.
"To breakfast, of course," said Louise.
Louise leaves her room with Ryu following behind her. They made their way towards the cafeteria, an impressively large room with three very long rows of tables sitted by numerous students. As they walked in, the students noticed them.
"They're here. The much-rumored runaway familiar, and his master…"
"An impressive feast," said Ryu. Both Louise and Ryu stop in front of empty chairs.
"Hurry up and pull the chair back. You really are inconsiderate," said Louise.
Ryu looks down at her with disdain.
"Fine then," Ryu pulls the chair out and Louise sits down. Ryu was about to sit down too before Louise spoke up.
"What are you doing?" Louise asked.
"What?" Ryu questioned.
"Only nobles sit here. You sit down there," Louise said, pointing a finger down at a plate.
"Seriously… on the floor?!" Ryu said, sounding and pissed off.
The rest of the students were laughing at Louise's expense, who was getting angrier. Ryu scoffs and sits on the floor. Soon after, the students started saying a prayer.
"O great founder Bremir and Her Royal Highness, we are once again grateful for the humble meal that you have brought us this morning,"
"Humble meal my ass," said Ryu to himself.
On his plate was a single loaf of bread and nothing else. Ryu picks it up and eats it.
After breakfast, Ryu follows Louise outside.
"Normally, familiars wait outside during a meal. I specially let you stay with me," said Louise.
"Yeah, thanks for that," said Ryu sarcastically. Louise gets frustrated at his tone. "What's everyone doing there?"
Ryu sees the students sitting outside, having a tea party.
"All second-year students have the day off today. We're all supposed to communicate with all our freshly-summoned familiars," Louise explains.
"I'll pass on that," Ryu said, sounding disinterested.
"Oh?" A woman's voice spoke up.
Both Louise and Ryu turn around to see Kirche kneeling on the ground next to her familiar, a large red lizard with a flame at the end of its tail.
"Ahh! What the hell is that thing?!" Ryu shouted.
"Is this the first time you've seen a salamander?" Kirche said.
"Keep it on a leash! It looks dangerous!" Ryu said.
"It's all right. Familiars under contract faithfully obey order from their master, and they never run away. Isn't that right, Flame?" Kirche said, while petting the salamander. Kirche looks up at Louise and gives her a knowing smile, making Louise angry.
"Don't give me that!" Louise said loudly. Kirche stands up straight.
"Did you sneak in a peasant that was walking around the area? You covered it up well with that explosion," Kirche suggested.
"That's not true! I made the summons properly. This guy just happened to show up!" Louise said, pointing to Ryu.
"Well, he's befitting of Louise the Zero," said Kirche, walking away laughing with her familiar.
"Louise the Zero?" Ryu whispered.
"What's up with that wench?! Don't just stand there! Bring me some tea, at least!" Louise shouted at Ryu, surprising him before walking off.
"Unbelievable," said Ryu, sounding frustrated.
He walks off to find where the tea is when a strange creature floats in front of him. It's body was like a purple sphere with four skinny limbs and a large eyeball staring straight at him.
"Ahh!" Ryu shouted, recoiled back into a maid, who dropped a plate with a cake on the ground. "Oh I'm sorry!"
"No it's alright," Both Ryu and the maid kneel down to pick up the cake, but their hands touch each other. They retracted theirs immediately. "Excuse me," said the maid.
"No, please excuse me," said Ryu.
He picks up the cake and stands up, along with the maid. Ryu places the cake, now covered in grass, back on the plate. The maid noticed the runes on Ryu's left hand.
"Could you be the one that became Miss Vallière's familiar?" The maid asked.
"You know about me?" Ryu asked.
"It's all over the rumor mill that a peasant has been summoned as a familiar," said the maid.
Ryu was silent for a moment, before he asked a question. "Can you tell me how nobles and peasants here?"
The maid looked kind of surprised at his question. "Those that can use magic are nobles, and those that can't are the peasants," the maid explains.
"Great, so my way back home is through that annoying girl. Judging by your outfit, you're a servant here?" Ryu asked.
"Yes, I am Siesta, and I have the honor of serving here. I'm a peasant, just like you," said Siesta.
Siesta wears a simple black and white maids uniform with an orange cloth at the collar. She has mid-length black hair and grey eyes.
"The name's Sakaki Ryúnosuke. Just call me Ryu," Ryu introduced himself.
"Mr. Ryu? That's a strange name," Siesta commented.
"Hey!" A noble spoke up in their direction. It was Guiche, with a large brown mole-like creature laying on his lap with a blonde hair girl sitting across from. "Isn't the cake ready?" Guiche asked.
"Coming right up!" Siesta said loudly.
Ryu smirks devilishly and grabs the dirty cake on the plate.
"I'll take it to him," said Ryu.
"But that's…" Siesta started talking before Ryu cut her off.
"It's fine, he'll get his just dessert for last night," said Ryu.
"I talked all night with Verdande here," said Guiche, talking to the young lady sitting in front of him while petting the mole creature on his lap.
"I see… all night…" said the girl, staring at the mole creature named Verdande. The young lady has blond, curly long hair and blue eyes. There is a large, red ribbon tied around her hair.
"Yes… these intelligent eyes… this sensual texture… truly, it was destined to become my familiar," said Guiche.
"In any case, keep it buried when you're with me," said the young lady.
"Order's up," Ryu said while placing the cake on the table.
"Oh, and bring some more tea as well. Your familiar is so cute, just like you," said Guiche.
"You're always such a flatterer," said the girl. In her hand was a tiny orange frog-like creature that shapes its tongue in the shape of a heart. that she gently pets with her finger.
"I won't lie to your eyes," said Guiche.
"I heard rumors that you're dating a first-year recently," said the blonde girl. Guiche tense up.
"Such nonsense! There is nothing…" Guiche started to say before being interrupted.
"...behind my feelings for you… wasn't it?" Ryu said. Both Guiche and the girl turn to see Ryu smirking at Guiche before walking off.
"What are you…" said Guiche, who's sweating a little.
"The color of the capes are different for each grade. Black are for second-years. So the girl from last night was a first-year. Good to know," said Ryu.
"What's he talking about?" The girl asked, accusingly. Guiche immediately gets up from his chair.
"Hurry up and go back to your business, waiter!" Guiche said.
"I'm not a waiter," said Ryu.
"You're the one that Louise the Zero…" said Guiche, recognizing Ryu.
"Have a good day," said Ryu before walking off.
"Guiche, what was that all about?!" The girls demanded an explanation.
"O-oh, yes… you know, I told you, right? I had that peasant familiar to deal with last night, that's all," Guiche tries to explain before seeing the girl from last night walking towards him. He panics and speaks up quickly "Montmorency, it's far too rowdy here. We should talk under that tree over there. Hurry now… come now, come now…"
What is it all the sudden?" The girl named Montmorency asked. Guiche grabs her hand and pulls her along.
Ketty, the girl from last night looks around for Guiche, holding a white bag.
"Lord Guiche, where are you?" Ketty said aloud.
"You're looking for that blonde guy. He's right over there," said Ryu, pointing his thumb behind him.
"Lord Guiche!" The girl runs towards him excitedly. Both Guiche and Montmorency stop in their tracks.
"K-Ketty!" Guiche immediately lets go of Montmorency's hand. "H-hi…"
"I've been looking for you, Lord Guiche!" Montmorency glares at Guiche, who looks scared. "I thought I'd bring my homemade souffle, that I talked about last night, to the tea party today," said Ketty.
"Oh, that is very…" said Guiche.
"Last night?" Montmorency said, sounding displeased.
"W-well, that is…" Guiche tries to explain before being interrupted by Ryu.
"That's right, you did say that you would like to try them last night," said Ryu.
"Y-you!"
"It's nothing. Just telling the truth, right?" Ryu said.
"What is the meaning of this, Guiche?!" Montmorency demands.
"What is it that you're going on about? You're going to make needless misunderstandings with these ladies!" Guiche said to Ryu.
"What's going on?" Students are gathering around the area.
"Guiche is picking a fight with that peasant familiar," said a student.
"What part of it is a misunderstanding? You're the one who's leading on two different women," said Ryu. Guiche tenses up again.
"Leading on?!" Ketty yelled.
"So there really was something going on with this first-year!" Montmorency shouted angrily, fuming.
"Please, Montmorency the Perfume… do not contort your face, one as beautiful as a rose, from anger! This is all a misunder-" Guiche tries to explain but is interrupted by Ketty.
"How horrible! You said I was the only one!" Ketty yelled.
"I-in any case, both of you, calm down," said Guiche.
"Liar!" Both girls shouted. Montmorency then slaps Guiche in the face hard, leaving a handprint. Both girls walk away as the other students laugh at Guiche.
"You just got dumped, Guiche! Well, you deserved what you just got!" One student said.
Guiche looks up to see Ryu smirking at him.
"It seems that you do not know how to pay respect to nobility," said Guiche as he stands up.
"Unfortunately for you, I come from a world that had nothing to do with that," said Ryu.
"Very well, then. I challenge you to a duel!" Guiche said, smiling confidently.
All the students gasp at that, while Ryu looks confused.
"A duel?"
"Yes, a duel. You are nothing but a peasant, and a familiar to boot. Yet you have mocked me, and on top of that, you have made two ladies!" Guiche said.
"Cry? They were both pissed off at you," said Ryu, causing the students to laugh.
Guiche is getting angry and points his rose at Ryu, saying "Prepare yourself! I will be waiting at Vestori Square!"
Guiche walks off. At the same time, Louise walks up to Ryu, looking displeased.
"You! What are you doing?!" Louise said as she grabs Ryu's wrist and pulls him along.
"What?" Ryu questioned.
"What do you mean 'what'?! Why are you promising to fight a duel without permission?!" Louise asked.
"Where are we going?" Ryu asked.
"We're going to apologize to Guiche. Right now, he still might forgive you," said Louise.
Ryu stops and says, "I refuse."
Louise turns to look at him.
"Why should I apologize when I did nothing wrong?" Ryu said defiantly.
"You really don't understand anything. Peasants can never win against nobles. You'll be lucky if you get away with minor wounds!" Louise said. Ryu looks at her annoyed and rips his hand out of her grasp.
"Hey, where is Vestori Square?" Ryu asked a student with an owl on his shoulder.
"Oh, over there. That way," said the student, pointing in the general direction.
"Malicorne!" Louise said.
"Thanks," said Ryu before walking off.
"Wait!" Louise tries to stop him.
"Oh, this will be a sight!" Malicorne said.
"Oh, geez! He's only a familiar, yet he's always going off on his own!" Louise complains before walking towards Vestori Square.
Meanwhile, in the Headmaster's OfficeThree people were currently inside the Headmaster's office, talking about Ryu. The Headmaster, his assistant, and the instructor from the before, Instructor Colbert.
"No previous case exists of a peasant familiar," said the Headmaster.
"That's not the problem at hand. I didn't recognize the familiar's runes that appeared on him, so I looked it up, and it was strikingly similar to this," Instructor Colbert opens a book and shows the Headmaster a page from it, showing the same runes that are on Ryu's left hand. The Headmaster immediately recognizes it.
"Miss. Longueville, I apologize, but…" said the Headmaster to his assistant.
"Understood," She said, bowing her head before leaving. As she walked away, she caught a glance at the book before leaving.
Back at Vestori SquareStudents were gathered around to see Guiche's and Ryu's duel. Off to the side, Kirche was standing next to a blue short haired young lady with a staff strapped to her back, reading a book.
"He really amuses me," said Kirche.
Siesta was also there, looking at Ryu worriedly.
"I praise you for actually showing up and not running off, said Guiche, smugly.
"I don't run away from a challenge, not that you'll give me much of one," said Ryu, confidently.
"Wait!" Louise yells as she runs up to Guiche. "That's enough, Guiche! Duels are forbidden!"
"Only duels between two nobles are forbidden. He is a peasant. There are no problems," Guiche replied.
"Th-that's because nothing like this ever happened…" Louise said nervously.
"Louise, can it be that you are attracted to this peasant?" Guiche asked. Louise's eyes widened as her face turned red.
"Who is…? Knock it off! Nobody would just sit and watch as her familiar gets beaten to a tattered heap!" Louise shouted in anger and embarrassment. Ryu remains silent, just looking at Guiche.
"No matter what you say, the duel has already started!" Guiche said, waving his rose-like wand.
A petal falls from his wand and lands on the ground. The petal lights up and a female statue wielding a spear appears, surprising Ryu.
"I am named Guiche the Brass. Therefore, a brass golem, a Valkyrie, will be your opponent," said Guiche.
The Valkyrie rushes towards Ryu at surprising speed, making his eyes widened. The Valkyrie punches Ryu straight in his chest, knocking the air out of him. Ryu falls to his knees, holding his chest in pain.
"Bastard!" Ryu said in anger.
"It's nothing but natural for a noble, a mage, to use magic to fight in duels, no?" Guiche said arrogantly.
Louise runs up to Ryu and kneels down to his level.
"Do you get it now? Peasants can never win against mages," said Louise.
"Shut up!" Ryu said before standing up.
"Oh? Did I go too easy on you?" Guiche said.
"I was just caught off guard, that's all," said Ryu.
"Why are you getting up, you idiot?!" Louise shouted at him.
"Because he challenged me…" Ryu said, causing Louise to look at him in silence. "Mages, nobles, I don't give a shit about any of that. But I'll never back down from a fight that someone started with me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Louise replied loudly.
"Well, I would feel bad about breaking something Louise owns, so I'll forgive you if you apologize right here," said Guiche.
"Apologize, for what? It's not my fault you failed at being a skirt-chaser," said Ryu with a smile on his face.
Guiche frowns at being insulted by Ryu, but then smiles more arrogantly.
"Fine then, I'll just have to discipline you myself," Guiche said.
Guiche summons two more Valkyries. The Valkyries rush towards Ryu.
Meanwhile, in the Headmaster's Office"This is a familiar's runes that only exists in legend," said Instructor Colbert, explaining the runes on Ryu's left hand.
"Furthermore, considering that he was summoned by that third girl of the Vallière family… this has something to do with one corner of the lost Pentagon," said the Headmaster.
"I-it can't be," said Colbert in disbelief.
"Whatever the truth behind this is, you must not speak a word about this to anyone!" The Headmaster orders.
"I-I understand that," Colbert complies.
Back in Vestori SquareThe three Valkyries continue to punnel Ryu senselessly. Ryu fell back on the ground in pain. Despite that, he stands back up.
"Why are you getting up?!" Louise said.
"Oh, he's still gonna get up?" Kirche said, sounding surprised. The blue haired girl closes her book and speaks up.
"I'm going home," she said in a dull tone.
"But this is where it gets interesting," said Kirche. The girl walks off towards the school with a blue dragon flying overhead.
Ryu got hit again by a Valkyrie and fell back down. His face was bruised and has a black eye.
"Please! Stop it already!" Louise pleaded.
"Step aside, Louise," ordered Guiche.
"That's enough. You did well. I've never seen a peasant like this before!" Louise said.
"Save it for when I win," said Ryu before standing up.
"Please stop this! What do you hope to gain from this?!" Louise asked.
Guiche stood there silently before giving a smirk.
"You still want to go out?" Guiche waves his wand and a petal falls off it. It lands on the ground in front of Ryu and Louise, creating a broadsword. "If you have the will to go on, take up that sword! If you don't, then you can tell me that you're sorry," Guiche said arrogantly.
"You've got to be kidding!" Louise shouted back. Ryu walks slowly up to the sword. "No! You can't! If you pick it up, Guiche won't show you any mercy. Alright? This is an order from me, your master!"
"Mercy? I don't recall asking for it," Ryu mumbles. "I can't go back to my world, which means I'm stuck living here."
"So what?!" Louise said.
"I don't care if I sleep on the floor. I don't care if my meals taste like crap." Ryu picks the sword and immediately tosses away, shocking everyone. "But I'll never, ever, accept mercy from an enemy!"
Ryu grabs his shirt and jacket and pulls both of them off in a swift motion, exposing his bruised body. His back has a large tattoo that covers most of it. The tattoo depicts a majestic yellow dragon that stares outwards towards anyone looking at it, baring its fangs out. On the four corners of his back were circles of different colors with a Chinese symbol inside each of them. The top-left of his back was black with the symbol for water. The top-right was green with the symbol for wood. The lower-right was red with the symbol for fire. And the lower-left was white with the symbol for metal.
The students, including Louise who saw his tattoo, were impressed by the artwork.
Ryu gets into his fighting stance with his fists up with a yellow aura covering as he glares at Guiche.
"Come on!" Ryu shouted loudly. Just as he did that, the runes on Ryu's hand lit up, surprising him. "What the…"
"Very well, attack my Valkyries!" Guiche orders.
The three Valkyries charge at Ryu. Ryu quickly regains his focus and rushes at the Valkyries. One Valkyrie throws a punch at Ryu. Ryu also punches the Valkyrie, colliding their fists into each other. The Valkyrie's arm shatters to pieces, then Ryu punches it's head, breaking the brass statue. The two other charge at Ryu with their spears out. Ryu quickly grabs the spears under his arms and lifts the two Valkyries in the air and slams them into the ground, shattering their legs. Ryu rips one spear off a Valkyrie, and swings it at their heads, decapitating them.
Every student there, including Guiche, Louise, Kirche, and Siesta were shocked by Ryu's strength.
Ryu glares at Guiche with murderous intent. Guiche, being afraid, quickly summons four more Valkyries and sends them straight at Ryu. Ryu charges towards the Valkyries, punching one in the chest, kicking two others, and headbutting the last one, shattering all of them instantly. Ryu's hands and forehead were now dripping with blood. He then rushes at Guiche with an open palm. He hits Guiche in his chin, launching him in the air, Ryu next hits him with his left palm, then backhands Guiche, and finally punches him into the ground, knocking him out.
All the students stood in awe at what they witnessed.
"WOOHOO!"
The students began cheering loudly at the spectacular fight that they just witnessed. Kirche looks at Ryu with an impressed smile while Siesta is staring at Ryu in awe. Louise runs up to Ryu, looking concerned.
"Are you alright?" Louise asked.
"Heh heh… yeah I feel great. I got all that anger… vented… out…" Ryu said before falling backwards to the ground as the aura disappears and the runes light dies down.
"Hey! Are you alright?!" Louise kneels down to examine Ryu. Ryu is breathing soundly. "He's asleep… hey, you can't sleep right here!" Louise shouted to no avail.
Looking down from the Academy was the Headmaster's assistant, who witnessed the whole fight.
(Several Days Later)
Ryu was currently asleep in Louise's bed with bandages wrapped around his stomach and forehead. He wakes up and tries to sit up.
"Ow…" Ryu felt pain shoot throughout his body.
Ryu hears the door open and sees Siesta walk in with a plate of bread and a glass of water.
"Have you awakened? Thank goodness. You've been asleep for three days and three nights now," said Siesta, sounding relieved.
"You're Siesta right? Why are you here?" Ryu asked.
"Miss Vallière instructed me to bring you food," said Siesta. She looks to Louise, who is sleeping in a chair with her head on her makeup desk. "She must be tired now. She's been watching over you all this time without sleep, Mr. Ryu."
"She was?" Ryu said, sounding surprised.
"Yes," Siesta confirmed.
Ryu looks at Louise, sleeping soundly. Ryu slowly stands up.
"Mr. Ryu, you should get more rest?!" Siesta protested.
Ryu ignores her as he walks over to Louise. He gently picks her up in his arms bridal style. She felt light in Ryu's arms. Ryu brings Louise to her bed and lays her down and tucks her in. Siesta smiles happily at his kindness.
"Can you get some more food please? I'm starving right now," Ryu requested.
"Okay, I'll be right back!" Siesta said. She left the room, leaving only Ryu and Louise.
Ryu sits down and takes a loaf of bread and takes a bite out of it. He swallows it and looks back at Louise. Louise was breathing softly as she slept peacefully. Ryu smiles at her.
"She's cute when she's asleep," Ryu commented before taking another bite of bread.
