I don't own Zero no Tsukaima
AN : I finished this faster than I usually do. Nice. Especially nice considering that I had to format my computer because of a very nasty virus. Thankfully I keep back-ups of everything. The virus really screwed up my computer. It removed windows defender, Trend micro security agent, spybot search and destroy, Adaware, and windows update. Still, it's fixed now, and I've reinstalled all of my security (and then some), and all of my games so yeah.
Now, for last chapter's question, the answer is
Richard Rahl, Sword of Truth
Aldus, Harry Potter (I'll admit, this one was hard to the point of being unreasonable)
Now, to answer some reviews:
Styx, close enough
Karndragon, thank you
Reven228, I'm always golden
Transcendent Oddity, correct
Sithking Zero, oops there was only supposed to be one name. Thanks for catching that.
Kitiem3000, during Vietnam they were using the AKM, not the AK-47. The AK-47 was a terrible gun, very rickety, and the only reason it is remembered positively is because we remember other guns as the AK-47. Besides, the AKM kicks more and is less accurate than the M16, but it is definitely lower maintenance. Of course, the M16 is lower maintenance than it's predecessor, but the REMFs said that it was no maintenance.
Patcheresu, your prediction is waaaaaaaay off.
theBSdude, Alright you can do stuff on the Zune that you can't do on an iPod, but I'm just sad that I couldn't have as much music as some of my friends.
Darkkon27, you are goddamn awesome, you know that right?
Ex10, but would the runes let him reach that conclusion? How much have they altered him?
Some guy, very close
Nightshade The Patient One, yeah, I thought the insert was funny. Also, who said he knew Japanese from tradition?
Sacchin, I liked the laptop bit too. As for whether Saito returns to Earth or stays, I'm not sure. It could be one, it could be the other, it could be both.
Hansi Rahl, Thank you
Lord Sia, the tootsie rolls are still edible. Sorta
Akira Stridder, I like his no BS attitude too.
Hikari367, really? I didn't think that chapter was all that intense. Definitely didn't need all caps.
Sonicfanx1, here is the fifteenth chapter, and thank you.
Louise stood in abject horror as Kirche's familiar dove toward Saito. It took Saito to the ground, and began vigorously sniffing him. Saito threw it off, and pulled his signature dagger. "God damn it, why do I keep getting attacked? Where is the assassin this time?"
Kirche's familiar backed off, and pointed to the door. Saito ignored it, and with inhuman speed charged forward and grabbed the flame salamander by its tail, spun it around, and threw it toward Louise's newly repaired window.
CRASH!
"You broke my window again!" Louise shouted, and waited a moment for Saito's response, but received none. She looked toward her Ally, and saw him intently watching the open door. His dagger in his left hand, one of his pistols in the right. He had his dagger poised and ready to end anyone who approached.
"Where are you? If you've come to kill me like the others, I should let you know that I'm through being nice and letting them live. If I see you I'll fucking gut you. I am tired of this bullshit. It won't be over until I just kill you bastards." Louise backed away from Saito. She could practically feel malice rolling off of him, his eyes had a look that could melt steel, and Louise was thankful it wasn't focused on her.
Louise kept backing away from him until she reached the wall. She then mustered up her courage, and said, "I don't think that familiar came to attack you."
"It jumped on me!"
"She just wanted to take you to her master." Louise tried.
"Well than they should have come to me, instead of sending an animal to attack me! Now whose pet was that?!"
"Promise you won't hurt her?" Louise did not want a scandal to come of this.
He groaned and looked away for a moment, composing himself. He turned back to Louise and looked her strait in the eye, and Saito said with what Louise knew to be complete sincerity, "I promise I won't hurt her."
"Kirche-"
"I am going to give that bitch a black-eye!"
"Wait! You promised!"
"I lied, I can't let being attacked just slide!" Saito hissed.
"Don't hit her! You aren't supposed to hit a lady!"
"I don't give a damn that she has ovaries! When I'm attacked I fight back! Derf! Back me up on this!"
"Why should I? I won't change either of your minds, no matter what I say." The sword sagely said. Louise had to agree with it.
Louise sighed, Saito was going to retaliate, but maybe she could minimize the damage. "Saito, could you not attack her directly?"
"You want to compromise, really? You think I'm going to-"
"Look! You said we were allies, and allies work together! If you attack Kirche that reflects on me whether you like it or not! So I am asking you to NOT MAKE MY LIFE HARDER!" Louise was fed up with this reckless idiot! All he did was make life hard!
"I need to show people that shit like this isn't tolerated! All I want is for the people here to NOT attack me, to NOT GET IN MY DAMN WAY! HELL, I'VE HAD 3 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS ON ME!"
"YOU'RE MAKING IT HARDER ON YOURSELF! YOU ANTAGONIZE EVERYONE WHO CAN GET IN YOUR WAY!" Louise screamed, as she glared at her ally.
Saito stared coldly in response, and silence fell between the two. Louise steeled herself, doing everything she could to keep from trembling in fear. She knew that she could do nothing to stop him, she had nothing to leverage against him, but she had to get him to listen to her.
"Any suggestions on what I should do then? If you have no suggestions, then shut up. I'm going to visit Kirche von Zerbst, and she will regret what she did."
Louise tried to think of something as Saito made his way to the door. She needed something to stop this! "FLAME!"
Saito paused and turned around slowly. "Flame? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you subbing that in for a swear word or something?" He looked more confused than angry now.
"Kirche's familiar, Flame, take Flame back to Kirche, and warn her to not have her familiar attack you!" It was perfect, it still got Saito's message across, and it didn't make things worse! It was the perfect compromise!
"...Alright, that actually isn't a bad plan." Saito relented as he walked to the rebroken window and looked down at the Familiar down below.
"Is she moving?"
"Don't think so. Hmm? SIESTA! IS THAT FAMILIAR DOWN THERE MOVING!" Saito shouted to someone down below. Louise wasn't sure who this Siesta was.
"IT'S BREATHING, WHAT HAPPENED SAITO?"
"NOTHING IMPORTANT, I'LL BE DOWN SOON!" Saito shouted as he left the room. He paused for a moment, and turned back to Louise as he put another candy in his mouth. "Louise, are you coming? I don't know where Kirche's room is."
"Fine." Louise said as she followed Saito. She had to make sure he didn't go too far, he had just proven that he couldn't be trusted. Louise stopped for a moment, "Wait, 3 assassination attempts?"
"Not talking about it."
Kirche took a deep breath, ready to be ravaged. She was practically trembling in anticipation for Flame to escort Saito to her bed. She perhaps he will bring that music device, play some romantic music to enhance the mood? The few candles kept the room dimly lit, perfect for a night of passion.
CRASH!
Light flooded the room, pouring in from the kicked in door. She saw her Familiar sail through the air and roughly hit the ground. "FLAME!" What had happened?
"If your pet attacks me again I swear to all that's holy that I'll kill him." A cold voice calmly told her before abruptly leaving.
"What did she do!?" Kirche frantically asked.
"Kirche! I so sorry about Saito's actions!" Louise ran in. "After Flame jumped on Saito, he threw her out the window, I tried to stop him, but all I did was convince him to not attack you."
"He was going to attack me?" What was going on, this night was supposed to be passionate!
"Yes, look, Saito is... Just please, avoid him, nothing good will come from pursuing him. We need to get Flame to the healers." Kirche was taken aback by Louise's kindness.
"Yes, of course!" Kirche said as she wrapped a robe around herself, hiding the risqué ensemble she wore and grabbed her wand, levitating Flame to avoid cause more injuries as she and Louise rushed off to the water tower in silence.
Once they arrived, Louise gave simple parting words. "Please don't try to get revenge on Saito, I don't want to think of how he would retaliate. I was barely able to talk him down from attacking you."
Kirche didn't answer. She knew that Saito was too strong and cunning to attack.
Saito grunted as he dropped down from the branch he was hanging from. He was doing his morning physical training, getting ready for his day. He was almost done, he had been rotating through sit ups (five sets of 30), pull ups (five sets of 14), and sprints (from the tree to the center building, about 100 meters there and back). Now it was time for the finale, a four mile run. The best he had ever done on four miles was 28 minutes and 50 seconds.
"How can... how can you do all that?" A servant asked, panting.
"I'm strong." Saito answered simply, looking back at the one man still trying to keep up with him. He was a couple of sets behind Saito, and he was only doing 3 pull ups and 15 sit ups on each set. The only other people awake at the moment were the servants at the academy, a few of the men tried to exercise with Saito, and found that they were completely unable to keep up. It made sense, he exercised everyday, and constantly competed with his siblings. The female staff simply watched. It was a little uncomfortable with their gaze focused on him, but extremely flattering.
Saito grabbed a glass bottle full of water, then took off running. "Now for four miles!"
"I'm done! You're inhuman." The man said as he fell back.
"Yes I am!" Saito shouted back with a cocky grin. He kept going, pacing himself.
I was running as fast as I could, but I just couldn't catch up. Ben and Megumi were way ahead of me. "Sai-Sai, pace yourself, you don't need to keep up with us." Megumi said.
I...I can..." I said between pants. I wanted to be better than this. My brother and sister were so much stronger than me. They've always seemed unreachable, still seem unreachable. Megumi was a genius, always getting perfect scores, and it seemed like everybody was in love with Ben. Of course now I know they aren't perfect, but at the time they still seemed like all knowing Gods.
I trip over my own feet, and land face first. However I don't stop, I can't, I need to keep going, keep pushing myself. I knew I should have been in pain, I just fell and skid a foot on gravel, but I was numb to pain. I wanted to be better than this. I pushed myself up, ignoring my throbbing face that felt oddly sticky.
"Shit, Jesus fucking Christ, Saito you look like you face fucked some sand paper." Ben shouted, being vulgar in the way that he only was when mom and dad weren't close. He ran over to me, and rubbed my face. His hand got bloody. That was when I actually felt the stabbing pain.
I began taking panicked breaths, as tears streamed down my face. "My God, Sai-Sai! Are you okay?" Megumi asked.
"Relax, pipsqueak ain't dyin'! Come on midget, we're going home."
"Yeah, we'll clean your cuts, okay?"
"I'm-I'm okay!" I mumbled. I knew I wasn't okay, but I wanted to look cool in front of my older siblings.
"Damn it pipsqueak, if you are going to lie to us, at least make it convincing. Dumb ass."
Now that I think back, I don't understand how I didn't get any scars from that.
Saito massaged his arms as he entered Louise's room; it was time for the Royal brat to wake up. He had just finished his morning physical training, and returned from his morning bath. Unfortunately there was no shower. It was comforting to know that no one could keep up with him here. A nice change of pace considering that he was used to his sister always being stronger than him while his brother faster than him. Saito was more flexible than them, but that didn't really count for much.
"Louise, wake up." Saito calmly said. Louise groaned incoherently. Saito ripped off the blankets, "You missed breakfast, class starts soon."
"WHAT!?" Louise shouted as she covered herself.
"I lied, breakfast starts in thirty minutes. Now get up."
"That's still not enough time to get ready! I need at least an hour to get ready!" Louise shouted as she ran to her armoire, grabbing her uniform. "I'll have to brush my hair as we go!"
Saito sighed, he wished that Louise was more like his sister. Megumi was so much nicer, smarter, and less girly. Of course she was going into the military, which probably resulted in much less girlyness. And her hair was shorter, making it easier to maintain. Same with his mom, and most of his cousins. Saito paused as he realized that none of the women in his family were really all that girly. Quite a few of them could kick his ass. From what he'd seen here none of the women would be willing to lift a finger to fight an assailant. Every single one of them would be reliant on someone coming to save their ass from any minor kind of trouble.
Saito shook himself out of his thoughts and watched as Louise frantically brushed her hair. It looked fine. "Louise, there is nothing wrong with your hair. Lets go." Saito said as he grabbed the Beretta, the rifle Sasaki made, Derflinger, his own dagger, and the M72 LAW. He was ready for anything.
"My hair is a mess!" Louise scowled.
Saito groaned, her hair had fallen into place, it looked perfect! "It looks fantastic, lets go."
"Fine." Louise hissed. "It's not like I have time to fix it."
"Annoying." Saito muttered under his breath. "Louise, after class we need to work on your Void magic."
"I can't use Void magic, it's a lost element! Even if I could, how would I learn it? They're no books on it!"
"Louise, you summoned me, you can use Void. I figured we could study Brymer and try to recreate some of the things he did, or figure out where some of his writings are." Saito said with a shrug.
"Brimir..." Louise corrected. "And how are we supposed to do all this?"
"I don't know, try to recreate some of it? There's the "Bursting rays of Divine judgment that cleansed the Demonic Elves," or the "Devine powers that eliminated the Elves demonic shields and subdued all evil forces!"" Saito mockingly said in an overly dramatic fashion.
Louise stopped walking. "Are you... MOCKING BRIMIR!" She asked incredulously.
Saito paused. "I suppose that I shouldn't make fun of religion as often as I normally do."
"You normally mock Brimir?"
Saito gave Louise a confused look. She thought that he worshiped her God? He was from a different reality that only had one moon. "Louise, I don't worship Brymer, I've never even heard of him until I arrived in this world."
Louise dumbly opened and closed her mouth, as if trying to make sound come out. She eventually uttered a, "How?"
"Louise, the place I'm from has only one moon. We don't have anything that even talks about a Brymer. I'm sure that there are parallels between your religion and the religions I know of, but there's going to be a lot of differences."
"You... You don't know anything about the Founder, how he saved us?" Louise asked, Saito could tell that she still had trouble with the concept of someone not knowing about Brimir.
"Louise, focus, Void magic. One of the feats of Brymer is how he dispelled a magic effect; at least that's how I interpreted it. I figured that would be a safe test." Saito said, trying to return the subject to something relevant.
Louise was following behind Saito, dumbfounded. He didn't worship Brimir. Louise swallowed, trying to move past how uncomfortable she was feeling. She thought that Saito was a Heretic, instead he was something much worse, he was a Heathen. A Heathen! She didn't hear a thing he said about his thoughts on Void magic as her mind went through what Saito was.
She followed him into the Alviss Dining Hall, and took her seat next to him. He pulled her chair out for her, and was the very model of a perfect gentleman. However it was clear what the rest of the students thought of Saito, no one was sitting near her or Saito. The closest anyone was to her was two seats away. Kirche wasn't even willing to try hitting on Saito. Louise still found it odd that a non-mage was so terrifying, but she could understand, Saito was dangerous.
Still, Louise wished someone would come by. She even missed Kirche's infuriating insults.
"Good morning, Hiraga Saito." Guiche said as he took a seat next to him.
Saito stared at Guiche, a look of complete shock that the Noble was willing to sit next to him. "Honestly, I don't remember your name. Just that you use golems and use a flower as a wand."
"My name is-"
"Shut up, you are confusing me not knowing your name with me wanting to know your name. You are a piece of shit, go away." Saito sternly said.
"Saito, please, try to be nice." Louise asked, hoping that it would have some kind of effect, she didn't need to alienate the Gramonts.
"Let me get a second opinion, Derf! How should I treat flower boy here!" By the Founder he was asking his sword?
"I don't know, let me sleep partner. Wake me up if something exciting happens." The sword said.
"…Well I didn't expect that. Go away." Saito said after a few moments passed.
"What did I do!?" Guiche asked to Louise's surprise, since when was he so brave?
"First, you are a two timer, but that's not enough, because somehow, it was my fault that you were a two-timer. Then you challenged me to a duel, based solely on the belief that I couldn't defend myself so that you could beat up someone you considered too weak to fight back. You are a thug. Go away." Saito slowly told the Noble as he sent a cold glare toward the boy.
Guiche slowly backed away, clearly terrified that at any moment Saito would jump on him.
"He defended you." Louise quietly said, surprising herself that she was defending the pig
"When?" Saito asked as the servants began bringing the food out.
"After you left, Roger was insulting you, and Guiche defended your character. He's not as bad as he seems." Louise told him.
"Does that change what he did when he was ignorant of how strong I am?" Saito asked as the maid who was excessively fond of him approached.
"Could you at least act civil toward others?"
"He was willing to beat someone who he thought couldn't defend them self to a pulp. What part of that deserves civility?"
"Good morning, Saito!" The maid said in an annoyingly chipper voice. "I brought you extra food, since you seem to have a big appetite!" Louise glanced at her Ally's portion. Even the plate it was on was bigger.
"Thank you Siesta." Saito said as he stood from his seat and grabbed the plate. "Though I'm not in the mood to eat around a bunch of Nobles. I'll be in the kitchen."
Guiche was on his way to Chevreuse's class. It seems that the man who trounced him in a duel hates him. He understood, Saito had a fairly logical reason to hate him, and Guiche was simply happy that he wasn't attacked.
Guiche reached the classroom and saw the Louise and Saito had already arrived. Saito had his head in a book, occasionally jotting down notes, and wearing a plethora of weapons, including the legendary Staff of Destruction. Guiche had no clue how the commoner got his hands on it.
Guiche then saw his beloved, and dearly hoped that she has forgiven him for his transgression. "Monmon, you look ab-"
"Huh, it's you." She seethed. It seems that he wasn't forgiven. Montmorency grabbed her books and stormed away.
"Montmorency, please!"
She went directly toward Saito. "Commoner Familiar, could you… you." Montmorency froze in place from the glare Saito was leveling at her.
Guiche tried to push back his fear; he needed to protect her from Saito. But, what could he do? Create a few golems that Saito could easily dispatch? He didn't know what he could do to stop Saito.
"Montmorency Margarita la Fère de Montmorency, you will not refer to Saito as 'Familiar' or 'Commoner,' he is my Ally. Understood?" Guiche was taken aback; Louise was being so generous with Saito. An Ally was an equal, she was calling someone who couldn't use magic an equal!
More shocking was that Saito's expression softened, he even gave a gentle smile. "So-sorry, Saito, I was wondering if I could sit by you?"
"To keep him away?" Saito asked as he nonchalantly pointed at Guiche.
"Why else?" Montmorency asked as her usual confidence returned.
"Sure." Saito said with a shrug as he went back to reading.
Guiche felt his spirits break, what could he do to win Montmorency's forgiveness? She was willing to go to Saito Hiraga just to avoid him? Were his actions really so unforgivable? Guiche puffed out his chest. No. He couldn't lose her, and now he had to be a man. Guiche strode forward with a purpose strait for his beloved.
"Go away." Montmorency demanded. Saito slowly reached for his sword, though Guiche could tell he was trying to be seen.
Guiche fell to his knees. "Please Montmorency, forgive me! I'll do anything!"
Paralyzing silence, Guiche had no idea how much time had passed when a voice broke the silence. "I'm glad I woke up for this."
"Derf, I thought you didn't care?"
"I'll settle for this."
Montmorency coughed, "So, you want forgiveness?"
"Yes, I'll do anything." Guiche said, ignoring any sense of pride.
"Saito, what do you think I should do?" Montmorency asked. Guiche looked up and at the intimidating man. This was bad, from the glare alone it was clear that Saito hated him.
"Mont… uh, Montmerce?"
"Montmorency." The radiant beauty seethed, keeping her focus solely on Guiche.
"Yeah, Montmorancy," Guiche shuddered as he got the name wrong again. "Only the naïve forgive and forget-"
"Well…" Montmorency began as he face hardened. Guiche's face fell, it was over. She'd never have him.
"Let me finish." Saito snapped. The two blonds and Louise flinch at his tone. "As I was saying, only the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive, but never forget. Look at him, he has given up his ego to try and get your forgiveness. Don't forget that he cheated, but give him a chance."
Montmorency turned back to Guiche, still holding on to her vengeful gaze. However Guiche could see beneath it, she wasn't so sure now. She wanted to believe him. "I'm sorry, Monmon." He began as he rose from his knees.
Guiche stared into Montmorency's deep blue eyes and got lost in them as they softened. "Well he'll need to do a lot to be forgiven!" Louise spat. Montmorency's eyes' instantly hardened as she pushed him away.
"That killed the mood." The sword muttered as Saito shushed it.
"Louise is right, sorry isn't enough. You can begin earning my forgiveness tonight. I expect a very nice and romantic dinner to be prepared." Montmorency demanded as she crossed her arms and gave Guiche a stern look.
"Of course!" He was getting a second chance! "I'll make everything as perfect as you!" Guiche said as he left the trio.
"Don't forget you have another girl to apologize to!" Saito shouted, and Guiche could practically feel the anger radiating from his Monmon. Why did he have to remind her of that?
Montmorency the "Fragrance" was pacing back and forth in her room. She kept glancing at the recipe she set out on her table, considering if she should do what she was thinking of doing. She had everything else ready. She ground up the proper wood, the dragon sulfur, and mandragora, all she needed to add was the final ingredient.
She sat at her desk and grabbed the vial holding the final ingredient. All she needed to do was pour in the contents of the vial, add some magic, and she'll have created something incredibly rare. The vial held 2, maybe 3 drops of liquid, but it had cost her 700 écu. That was enough for a commoner to live 5 or 6 years.
Montmorency thought back to class, and Guiche's apology. He was so desperate,would she really be forgiving him if she did this? Would this make things right? This was forbidden for a reason. There would be consequences.
But there was a reason she was considering this. That first-year Katie and all of the other girls that he flirted with. She would not be hurt again.
"Forgive, but never forget." She told herself as she finished the love potion.
Louise sighed as she waited for Saito to return. There was no moon out tonight, making the magic torches around the Academy the only source of light. It was late, and she had just eaten dinner in the dining hall. Saito ate with the servants. It was better that way; the servants liked him, and without him around Louise was not avoided like the plague. She had to calm him to try and protect her classmates. Louise was convinced that Saito was ready to punch Montmorency when she called him a 'Commoner Familiar.'
Still, she was going to attempt Void magic, a fool notion if there ever was. She would try, but Louise didn't expect much. All she could do was fail. The only reason she defeated Fouquet was because her failures were very destructive.
"Hey Louise, got a magic torch." Saito said as he approached. "So, how should we go about this?"
"Why are you asking me?" Didn't he know she was following his lead?
"Well, I'm sure you understand magic theory more than I do."
"I know that I can't be a void mage, because there hasn't been one for 6000 years." Louise said, she knew this was a waste of time, how could she be a legend?
"Louise, you use magic. Explosions? Magic. Summoning me? Magic. And considering that neither of those accomplishments fall under Fire, Water, Earth or Wind, so that leaves Void or some sixth element. Now, what's more likely, Void or a sixth element?"
"Okay, then how do I cast a spell? I don't know any chants!"
"Is there any way to cast a spell without chanting?" Saito asked.
"Yes, but only extremely skilled and experienced mages can do that!" This was hopeless, she would try, then fail. If she's lucky it won't explode.
"Explain the theory behind chantless spell casting." Saito asked.
Louise sighed. She had to satisfy his curiosity, she needed to keep him happy so he'd stay. "Okay, first, the mage must visualize what they want to do, how they want to change the world around them. Then, they build their willpower, and have their vision flow through their wand." Louise as if she was reciting from her notes.
"Okay, so, how do you imagine a dispel effect?" Saito asked.
"I don't know. Vanishing magic?"
"No, it goes through your wand, right? So you'd have to imagine the void going through your wand. So you'll need to imagine magic from your wand extinguishing the torch."
"I'll try imagining the Void." Louise raised her wand and took a deep breath. She brought forth an image of nothingness, and visualized drawing it forth, watching it consume the magic sustaining the flame. "Dispel."
Nothing happened.
"See, I can't do it."
"That's the problem; you believe you can't do it. You can't change things if you don't think you can change it. Louise, you can do this, I believe in you."
"You don't even like me." Louise glowered.
"Just because I don't like you doesn't mean I don't believe in you." Saito said. "Imagine rubbing it in everyone's face when you master the Void. All you have to do is extinguish that torch. Try again."
Louise straitened her shoulders. She knew she couldn't do this, but Saito thought she could. He believed she could. What would happen if she succeeded? Her mother would respect her, Eleanor would have to apologize for seeing her as weak, and she could rub it in Kirche's face. She imagined the void flowing though her wand and mustered her will, and the magic flowed like it had never done so before. "Dispel!"
Her wand jumped as a distorted wave shot out from it. The torch was extinguished. "It worked."
"It worked a little too well, Louise." Saito said with a grin.
"Huh?" Louise looked around. Everything was dark. "Did I extinguish all of the lights?"
"Yeah. We'll need to fix that."
Montmorency followed Guiche outside to the courtyard and was left breathless. It was beautiful. A candle light dinner, and all around the table were rose petals. Then there was the bottle of champagne sitting in a bucket of ice! A gentle breeze wafted the smell of the petals to her, the scent was divine. Guiche walked ahead and pulled out her seat. "For you, my Montmorency."
Montmorency felt her cheeks burn. He was being so perfect! She quickly forced her smile down, she was punishing him for a betrayal, and after tonight he would never betray her again. She knew just how to get him. "Let us drink some champagne, since you went through the trouble of bringing it here."
"Of course!" Guiche said as he opened the bottle and filled two glasses. He handed a glass to Montmorency.
Suddenly all of the lights died, and a sudden feeling of unease went through Montmorency, and just as quickly passed. "What happened?"
"I don't know." Guiche said.
Montmorency looked around; she was barely able to see. She could make out Guiche, and saw him set his glass on the table. "Could you find out what happened?"
"Of course Monmon! I'll find out what interrupted our date!" Guiche said as he ran off.
Montmorency sighed as she pulled out her love potion. This was the perfect opportunity, no one could see her, and every single torch was extinguished. She poured the potion into the champagne. Now, she just had to wait.
"I can't believe I did this." It was Louise.
"Yeah, now you need to learn how to control it. It wouldn't be good to dispel your allies' magic." Saito too.
"Wait, is Derflinger okay?" Louise asked.
"I'm fine, I absorb magic."
"… Sorry Derf, I didn't even consider the possibility of Void magic affecting you. Oh, hi Montmorancy, how's dinner?" It got her name wrong. Again.
"I'm waiting for Guiche to come back. He left to find out what happened." Montmorency said.
"That his champagne?"
"Yes."
"Don't mind if I do." Saito said as it grabbed the glass.
"Wait!" It was too late.

Huh, that was much longer than I needed to make it. Oh well, other than that little question, what do you think of Guiche and Montmorency's interation? I think it was subpar myself. Could've done better.
Oh well, Read and review everybody
This is Lee, and I'm out!
