Chapter 8: The Plan to find the Secret of Void

(Issei)

Sempai was caught. When he came back, Louise-sama was dragging him. Anyways, we were back in what a looked like an old bunker. And for some reason there's an old warplane. Sempai said it was the Zero Fighter, an old WW2 plane. As for the bunker, he had it made for the plane and used it as the command post for a knight group he was part of. I believe he called it the Knights of Oridine, or something. Anyways, since the knights aren't here at the moment Sempai suggested we us it. So here we are, in a bunker Sempai had made for his warplane.

"Saito-sempai, can you really fly this thing?"

"Of course I can Xenovia. As Gandalf I can use any weapon and the Zero Fighter is considered a weapon, so as soon as I touch it the runes on my hand glow and the knowledge on how to use it enters my head. If fact it was in this plane that Louise first discovered her Void magic."

"Really! That's amazing! Does that mean you can use Durandal better than me?"

"No, Holy Swords are more like artifacts, or magic items, so I'd need the Myozthirirn runes."

Sempai and Xenovia started a conversation about the Zero Fighter and the powers of Void. Speaking of Void wonder why we don't have anything like that back in our world? Anyways, Her Majesty said that she'd have all the best mages in Tristain and Agnès-san. I'm secretly hoping that Agnès-san isn't the one who finds Gawain, because if she is, even if God was alive he probably couldn't save him. Anyways, Her Majesty also said that she would get the countries of Romalia, Gallia, and Germania to help. She also said that the she'd ask the elves to help. Aberrantly she's got a lot of connections. As expected of a ruler of an entire country. But still, Her Majesty really is beautiful.

"…Perverted Sempai."

Koneko-chan! That hurts!

"Why do I feel like this perverted dragon is thinking about the princess in a perverted way?"

Louise-sama has her wand out! She's glaring at me! I better change the subject.

"So…what would Gawain what here in this world anyways?"

After I asked that, everyone got a serious look. We can't really ask Azazel because he's next door talking to some teacher. I think his name was Mr. Colbert or something like that. Anyways, Buchou was the one who answered my question.

"It must be Void. From what Louise and Saito told me about this world that's the only thing that could be of any threat to us."

"But the only Void mages left are me and Louise. What could he be after? We'd never join him."

"Exactly why he's not after the two of you. All he wants it Void itself."

We looked behind us and saw both Azazel and Mr. Colbert walking in.

"What do you mean? How can he have Void without a Void mage? That shouldn't be possible."

Louise-sama was the one who asked this question. Mr. Colbert walked up to a table and sat down.

"You're right Miss. Vallière, it shouldn't be possible, but it is. You see, Azazel here has brought something to my attention. All magic, Void included, has an origin that cannot be destroyed. So it's the origin of Void he's most likely after."

The origin of Void? That seems to get everyone's attention. Azazel continues.

"With the origin of a magic, comes the power to control that magic. Take Norse magic for example. Its origin is under the control of the Norse gods, so they control it. At least that's how it works in our world. I'm not sure if the same thing implies in our world, but if it does and Gawain get's his hands on the origin of Void magic…"

"All of Void would be his to control and Miss. Vallière and Miss. Westwood's Void magic would be weakened. He could even end Saito's contract as a familiar."

It's really that serious?

"If that's the problem, then why don't we just get the origin of Void?"

Everyone looked at me. What? Did I say something strange? Sempai smiled.

"That's a great idea! If we can get it before Gawain then there's nothing to worry about."

Louise-sama slapped him in the back of the head.

"And just how do the two of you plan of finding it? We don't even know where to look. Saito, you know very well that there's nothing that's a bigger mystery in this world then Void. Why before the founder…"

"The founder?"

Buchou spoke up. Tiffania looked at her.

"You mean that Saito-san and Louise-san didn't tell you? The one who founded this continent, Founder Brimir, the first Void mage."

The first Void mage? They know who the first of is? Azazel seems to be pondering this. After a little bit of thinking he looks around.

"How much do you know about this Brimir person?"

Louise-sama put of a confused look.

"Not much. All information concerning Founder Brimir is help by the church back in Romalia, with the Pope, but he's dead. He was one of the Void mages and he gave his life to give us a chance to save this world from the Ancient Dragon."

Sempai made a depressed look after Louise-sama said that. Was he there when it happened? The one thing Sempai refused to talk about was the battle with the Ancient Dragon. From they did tell us, Buchou said that the Ancient Dragon was most likely at the level of a Dragon King, who are supposedly just as powerful as the Maou. That's kind of scary. Anyways, why would Azazel be asking about this Brimir person? Azazel looked at Louise-sama again after thinking.

"You have conections with another Void familiar right? Who's was he?"

"The Pope's, why?"

Azazel smiled.

"I think I know how to find the origin of Void."

We all looked right at Azazel. He just stood there looking at his fingernails. He's doing this just to build up tension isn't he?! Louise-sama must have had enough because she took out her wand and pointed it at him.

"Ok, ok, ok I'll talk. Just put that thing away please. Anyways, it's really quite simple. Whenever a new magic appears, we immediately follow the first mages footsteps to find the origin. I know it's been thousands of years, but fortunately for us you know who the first Void mage is. So we just need to get the information on him form Romalia and start of the trail."

Once that was said, Louise immediately went to get the message to that other Void familiar. Things might become more interesting from now on.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was the next day. Louise-sama managed to contact the other Void familiar. She said that he would be here in a few days, since the church is still looking for a new pope. Anyways, Sempai said that us guy's should do some work, and even though he has all the money he could want (apparently Her Majesty prompted him to Duke after the Ancient Dragon incident and his marriage to Louise-sama who's the daughter of a Duke), he's said he would help us. So he got us jobs at the Charming Ferries Inn. I kind of like this place, with the outfits that girls wear here. Of course I imagined Buchou, Akeno-san, and Tiffania wearing the same thing. I got the mother of all nosebleeds. Anyways, the owner, Scarron (who I'm trying to stay clear of) put me, Sempai, Kiba, and Gasper in the back doing dishes (he wanted Gasper as a waiter, but given his fear of people…). That damn Kiba seems to have captured the hearts of all the girls here just by walking inside. Well, there is one girl here who isn't captured by Kiba's looks.

"Here you go Saito-san."

"Thank you Siesta. I really missed your cooking."

Scarron's niece, Siesta, seems to only have eyes for Sempai. She's a beauty too. According to Sempai her great-grandfather is Japanese. I can defiantly see it, with that black hair of hers. Sempai also said that she's currently his maid. It obvious that she's in love with Sempai, just like Tiffania, but he's either too stupid to realize it, or too loyal to Louise-sama act on it. As I was thinking of this, the door opened.

"Saito-kun, are you in?"

Someone who knows Sempai? He has blonde hair and his eyes are different color: one red and the other blue. This guy was wearing what looked like a priest outfit. Upon seeing this guy Sempai looked shocked.

"Julio! What are you…"

"When I heard that Saito-kun was back I rushed over as fast as I could. It's good to see you."

He then looked at the rest of us and smiled.

"Hello there, I'm Julio Chesaré, a knight and priest of Romalia."

He then took of this right glove and showed us his hand. He has the marks that look the one's Sempai has one his left and chest.

"I'm also called Windalfr, the Left Hand of God. I'm a Void Familiar."

Gawain's plan has been discovered, at least they think this is what it is. Is it or isn't it? Keep reading to find out. Anyways, I promised to explain Void and I will. The team will retrace the steps of Founder Brimir in order to find the origin of Void. The origin will explain not only where it came from, but what Void is. and I still need Goddess' people. And remember, review, review, and review.
