"I appreciate your gift Kirche, but this sword is nothing more than an ornament and is completely useless in battle," said Saito as Kirche tried to impress him by giving him an expensive and useless sword, "I already found a suitable replacement and to make things interesting, it can talk."
Saito sat on the hay that made up his "bed" and was having a conversation with his new sword, Derfflinger. It was when he felt the life energy of the sword that Saito realized that there was something special about this particular sword, so he decided that it was probably the best one there in the shop, even if it was cheap to buy. Saito always had a weird affiliation with weapons; however, after he received the mark of Gandálfr, also known as the Left Hand of God, he has felt even more affixed to swords and what they do, but little does he know that it isn't only swords but all weapons.
"So, your name is Derfflinger, right?" asked Saito.
"That's right partner and you must be my new partner, I've seen warriors more impressive looking than you hundreds of years ago than what you are now," replied Derfflinger.
"If you're that old, can you please identify this symbol on my hand for me?" asked Saito, "I don't understand the language of this planet, so I've been wondering what this is and I would like answers from an expert. I don't think anyone else qualifies more than a sword that is more than a hundred years old."
"That's an easy one," replied Derfflinger, "That's the mark of Gandálfr, also known as the Left Hand of God; it's a legendary familiar that can wield any weapon that is known or unknown to the barer of the mark. In fact, the reason why I know this is because I have always been by Gandálfr's side, ever since he was first brought to light hundreds of years ago. In a way, it was no coincidence that you found me like you did partner, we were always meant to be a team."
The next day, Saito got up, put his swords in their scabbards on his back and was about to leave when, Louise, decides to wake up and order Saito to help her get dressed.
"Saito, where are you going?" asked Louise, "you have to dress me for the day and then do my laundry and then you have to go to classes with me."
"And why can't you do that yourself?" asked Saito, "I will go to class with you, but I will not dress you and I will not clean your laundry."
"That's an order, so either you do it or you won't be fed for two meals"
"Fine, I'll do it, but I don't think the point of a familiar is to be your servant. I believe that the point of your familiar is to be your companion or assistant to whatever magic related project you have."
Saito got her dressed, not impressed with her body even if it was naked in front of him. She was flat chested and had no ass, so she didn't get a single reaction from him at all. In fact, he yawned half way through dressing her and that pissed Louise off greatly.
"Why are you yawning while dressing me?" asked Louise, "Does my body not excite you at all?"
"It doesn't," replied Saito, "Your flat and you have zero curves and ass, you have the body of a nine year old girl, what is there for me to get excited over I'm not into little girls." With that said Saito blocked an incoming attack from Louise and decided to leave to do her laundry.
While walking down the stairs, the students of the academy he passed by gave him mixed looks ranging from fear, admiration, and lust. He ignored them and just kept moving to the fountain where he will do the laundry and then go off and do some basic training before going to the room to pick up Louise for her classes that afternoon.
"Hey partner, what's with the other sword on your back anyway?" asked Derfflinger, "I feel tremendous power from it, what is it?"
"It's a sword from my world," replied Saito, "That sword has a consciousness of its own, but it doesn't talk, it can however destroy an entire continent in one swing if I channel enough power into it. That sword is never to be used unless the situation is desperate, and even then, the situation must be a dooms day situation for it will consume the user if they don't have a pure heart."
"That is one powerful sword then. Tell me, how did you get your hands on such a weapon?"
"I didn't," replied Saito, "It looked for me and has never spoken to me at all. The only reason why I know about the consciousness is because it only unsheathed itself with me, anyone who tries to unsheathe it will find out, they can't and think it's only an ornament."
As Saito finished washing Louise's laundry he was met by a shadow over him, it was Siesta, and she seemed happy to see him.
"Hello Mr. Saito, how have you been this morning?" asked Siesta.
"I've seen better days Siesta," replied Saito, "After seeing you today though, I feel much better, and where are you going today?" Siesta was dressed as if she was leaving for a trip.
"I'm going out for today, you don't have to worry about me, I just wanted to say hello and goodbye." Siesta looked nervous and anxious and Saito noticed, but didn't say anything about it. "Well it was nice to see you again Mr. Saito. Have a good day."
"I'll try Siesta," replied Saito with an eye of suspicion in his eyes, "I just have to say, everything will be alright, it always will be."
Saito decides to go talk with the cook after Siesta left. Saito was worried for her and decided that the best person to talk to, was the person he believed to know Siesta the best at the academy.
"Hey, what's going on with Siesta?" Saito asked the cook as he entered the kitchen, "She was acting anxious and weird, so I came to see if you knew what happened to her."
"Our, sword has taken a liking to Ms. Siesta has he?" asked the cook, "Well, it's too late to do anything now. She's going to a noble that got an eye for her. She'll be serving him now, and I'm sorry to say that it will be in the most despicable way possible."
"What do you mean?" asked Saito, "What do you mean by… that? No." realized Saito as thoughts of what that meant for someone he started to see as a friend. "No, it can't be that. Did that bastard actually take her from the school just to get laid?"
"I'm afraid so," replied the cook, "The Count and Siesta have already left most likely, there is nothing we can do now."
"Like hell we can't!" yelled Saito, "She's a friend and I'm not letting my friend live a life like that only because some rich pervert wants her to! Marteau!"
"Ye-Yes?"
"Where does this Count live?" asked Saito to Marteau's surprise, "I'm going to bring Siesta back even if I have to kill the count to do it!"
"This is madness and treason though," replied Marteau, "If you do this then you could be killed. I'm sorry, but I can't lose another friend to the nobles."
"That doesn't matter to me because here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to rescue her. I'm going to save Siesta from the mansion of a high class noble, then I'm going to bring her back, and then just to finish off I'm going to kill that noble and make sure this doesn't happen again, so tell me. Where is she?"
"Count Mott lives to the east, just take the main road and it should be easy to spot," said Marteau solemnly.
"Thank you," said Saito as he turned to leave.
"Saito," said Marteau as Saito was about to open the door, "Just promise that you and her will come back alive, I'm not asking for anything more than that. Please, promise me that you will come back alive."
"I promise you I will come back alive, and I will bring her back with me."
