So I'm back with a new chapter. Just a bonous story but I thought you would enjoy it. So, here it is.
Anger coursed through Louise's mind as she fixed a withering gaze on Guiche who was about to give her familiar one of the new chocolate candies that had gained popularity in the city. He quivered under her intense glare, sensing trouble brewing. "Guiche, what on earth were you thinking, trying to give Cana chocolate?" Louise growled, her voice dripping with anger.
"C-calm down, Louise. I just wanted to give her a treat," he stammered, fear evident in his voice. However, his attempt to pacify her backfired, as Louise's glare grew even more menacing.
"You thought it was a good idea to feed chocolate to a wolf-like familiar?" Louise's words were both a question and a condemnation. Guiche looked genuinely puzzled.
"Well, yeah."
Louise couldn't contain her frustration. She felt herself trembling with anger at Guiche's incredible ignorance. There was no point in explaining further. "Fireball!" Her shout echoed through the area, followed by a deafening explosion. Guiche was sent flying into the air before crashing down, covered in dirt and his clothes in disarray.
Turning her attention to Cana, Louise said, "Cana, let's go. You wanted me to read you that story, right?" She asked the wolf-like familiar, who nodded eagerly, her big eyes fixed on Louise, melting her heart.
As they walked away, Guiche coughed, bewildered by Louise's furious reaction. "Do you have any idea what I did, Monmon?" he asked, struggling to understand the gravity of his mistake. Montmorency sighed, wondering how best to break the news to him.
"As much as I love you, Guiche, you can be quite an idiot, choclate is poisonous to canines" she stated bluntly. Guiche's face contorted in realization.
"I nearly poisoned Louise's familiar," he murmured, his complexion turning ashen. Everyone knew how fiercely protective Louise was of her familiar. There had been numerous instances where Cana had been accidentally injured or found herself in trouble. Cana was, technically, still a child, or perhaps "puppy" was a more apt term. But regardless, the distinctions didn't matter. Guiche shuddered as he recalled some of the stories and had witnessed the aftermath of those incidents. Poor Malicorne had inadvertently stepped on Cana's tail, and the resulting yelp of pain had summoned Louise. Guiche had been the unfortunate witness to that horrifying scene, and the memory still made him shiver. Malicorne was still recovering in the infirmary.
Then there was the incident where Cana and Sylphid had been playing, and things had escalated into a rough situation. Cana had ended up getting hurt. Tabitha had witnessed it and was about to scold her dragon familiar, but Louise had intervened, doling out the discipline herself. Sylphid had been spanked, leaving Tabitha in a state of shock, unable to respond.
Even the professors weren't immune to Louise's wrath. Once, Professor Colbert had involved Cana in an experiment to harness her flames to power a machine. The contraption had exploded, unable to contain Cana's fiery energy. While Cana emerged unscathed, Louise had been beyond furious. Colbert didn't disclose the details, but his reaction suggested he had seen a vision of the Brimir himself. The man had started jumping at shadows, perpetually on edge whenever Louise was nearby.
Everyone at the academy had their own story about dealing with Louise's relentless maternal fury. The whirlwind of vengeance that Louise unleashed on those who harmed Cana was legendary. She was no longer known as "Zero." Instead, she had earned the moniker of "Mama Bear" – or perhaps "Mama Wolf" would be more fitting.
Guiche had heard one rumor that Louise didn't always unleash a harsh punishment on those who hurt Cana, at least not initially. Guiche's face turned even paler. "I'm a dead man, Monmon," he cried out, clinging to Montmorency in despair.
"I'm sure her future punishment won't be that severe. Maybe she'll even forget," Montmorency offered, unable to bring herself to reveal Guiche's grim fate. She loved him, but facing an enraged Mama Bear/Wolf was something she wouldn't wish upon anyone.
Guiche nodded, trying to convince himself that he was worrying needlessly. He dusted himself off and continued with his day. It wasn't until a week later that the punishment came, and it was nothing short of diabolical. Louise had somehow acquired a potion that induced an unbearable itch, intensifying with every scratch. It was the most excruciating punishment she had ever devised. Guiche endured two weeks of torment in the infirmary, the itching maddeningly relentless. Once he was finally released, he devoted himself to crafting the finest, safest dog treats for Cana, alongside Montmorency.
Guiche made a solemn vow never to commit such a foolish act again. He had joined the ranks of those who had suffered the wrath of Mama Bear/Wolf Louise, and he knew he wouldn't be the last.
