Chapter 19

With the sun shining bright in the sky, Saito was training in the courtyard of the magic academy by destroying various targets with his swords while his girlfriend was busy with her lessons. Since he was doing it without his shirt on, he attracted quite the attention of the other sex, especially Siesta and the other maids' one.

Due to his heroic act in saving the capital city from Fouquet, he got way more popular between the various female magicians, with some of them baking some cookies for him. Even that girl that Guiche played with took a liking to him.

Having all those women interested in him made him flustered, as he wasn't still sure if it was alright for him to love another girl other than Louise. He knew that what Siesta, Montmorency and Jessica felt was genuine love and he had even reciprocated the kiss of the third, but he was still unsure about accepting them.

'I don't want to hurt Lou-chan and one of them.', he thought after destroying another wooden dummy. Despite he killed two people mercilessly, he cared deeply for those dear to him and he didn't want them to be sad because of him.

Moreover, he was worried about what Reconquista could do after Fouquet's attack failed. With prince Wales gone, their next target was surely the queen or Henrietta, and just imagining someone killing one of them was enough to fuel his rage.

Derflinger could feel the anger of his partner and understood it; the boy was young righteous too and hated evil people, which brought him to have no mercy against Jacques and the now deceased thief. The progresses they made together thanks to their training were fantastic as well and Saito surpassed completely the strength of a soldier.

Anyways, after reducing another target to smithereens, the swordsman decided to take a break and went to drink from the main fountain, washing the sweat off his face too. The sight of him with wet hair striked the hearts of some first year girls, who fainted instantly while he sweatdropped.

"Hahahaha, you got them for good!", exclaimed Derf in amusement.

"I didn't do it on purpose.", retorted the warrior, blushing and scratching his hair.

"Saito-san!"

Siesta calling for him made him turn around to see her smiling and holding a basket in her hands. "I-I think you are hungry after all that training, so I made you some things.", she told him, blushing.

"Thank you as always, Siesta. I love eating your food.", he said, grinning. Those words made her eyes shine, so she asked him if they could have lunch together and smiled after he agreed.

Sitting together on the grass, they opened the basket and he didn't waste time in biting one of the sandwiches she made. "Everything you make is delicious! Thank you again!", he told her, munching on the food delightfully.

"I'm glad to know it.", she said, staring at his pectorals and his abs. She found him gorgeous already the first time they met, but he became much more attractive due to his vigorous training.

She even thought of touching his bare muscles, blushing more and shaking her head in shame. "Hmm? What's up?", he asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"N-nothing!", she assured him, albeit with an embarrassed smile. She couldn't tell him what she imagined to do, otherwise he would think she was a pervert.

"I bet you wanted to touch my partner's body haha.", said Derf though, making her gasp.

Seeing her reaction, the Gandalf gasped too and blushed again. "I-I'm sorry, Saito-san. Don't think bad of me, please.", she told him, looking on the ground and twiddling her fingers.

To her surprise, he put his hand on her head and caressed it gently. "Don't worry, I could never hate you. You're very dear to me and you will always be", he said, smiling but still blushing.

Her heartbeats accelerated at listening to him, so she giggled and enjoyed the lovely gesture. Knowing that he would never hate her despite the dirty thoughts she had about him filled her of joy, increasing the intensity of her feelings like that too.

She wasn't terrorized of him because he killed two people, as she was aware that he did it mainly to save other people. He was her savior ever since he freed her from being Count Mott's slave, allowing her to stay at the academy and, most importantly, by his side. Besides, she wanted to lose her innocence to the boy she loved rather to some despicable noble.

While he was patting her head, Robin suddenly jumped on his head and Flame appeared too, licking his face and making him chuckle. "That tickles haha! I'm glad to see you two too.", he said, caressing the salamander's belly and the frog's head.

"You're incredible. Usually familiars get along only with their masters, but you're a friend to all of them."

"Everyone in this school is important for me, without any exception. And trust me that I won't let another scumbag try to buy you again."

Needless to say that those words striked her heart for the umpteenth time, blushing deeper and adoring his cheerful grin. So she reached his face with her hands and kissed his cheek, making his eyes widen while his face got redder.

"I can't help but fall for you more, Saito-san.", she said, closing the distance between and leaning her head on his shoulder. The young warrior got more flustered as result, getting a tick mark because of Derf's chuckle.

Siesta's maid colleagues frowned out of jealousy at watching the scene and so did the female magicians that desired to be at her place. Even if he didn't want it, he got more popular with the other sex either inside or outside of the school.

He blushed more also due to her prosperous chest pressing on his arm, feeling the same sensation that he had when it was Jessica to do it. Perhaps their personalities were different, though their bodies were soft in the same way.

Moreover, his eyes gazed at her lips that just kissed his face, making him wonder how they would feel if he placed his own on them. He was still doubtful about having more girlfriends, but he couldn't negate that she, Montmorency and Jessica truly loved him like Louise did.

The pinkette was inside his heart, but even the sweet maid had a special place in it. Touching her cheek, he made her look into his eyes, taking her lips into a kiss and shocking Robin and Flame.

"Mmh?!", was the sound she released at that move of his, getting redder while her colleagues gasped in total shock. On the other hand, Marteau was very happy for her.

'Is it happening for real?! S-Saito-san is kissing me?!', she thought, with her heart beating like crazy. She only dreamed of kissing him in her dreams because she knew that he had already Louise, still he was actually doing it. And it felt really good.

In fact, despite he wasn't using his tongue, he kissed her so gently that she couldn't help but moan a little inside his mouth, unable to stop feeling overjoyed. That sweet kiss between them lasted some seconds before their lips detached, with their blue ones looking into each other.

"Was it your first kiss?", he asked her, still blushing.

"Y-yes. Does this mean you love me like you love Miss Vallière?", she asked hopefully.

"I'm still uncertain about some things, but I can say that I don't feel just affection for you like for a friend. It's more than that.", he replied, making her eyes shine.

"Do you mind if I talk with Lou-chan about this first?"

"No, I don't mind. I'd like to be the only one that Saito-san likes, but I'm fine with being your second girlfriend. I just wish to be by your side.", she told him, showing him a bright smile. That reply made him sigh in relief, so he caressed her head again and greeted her before going towards the academy building, hiding the blush with a hand.

'I can't keep secret the kisses I received from Momon and Jessica either anymore. I will tell everything to Louise.', he thought, making a determined face. He had already made a mistake by keeping them secret from her and he didn't want to do it again. She deserved to know everything.

Stopping near the wall of the building, he waited that the last morning lesson ended. When it was the moment , the young girl smiled at seeing him. "How did your training go, Saito?", she asked him, snuggling into his chest.

"It went good, but before we go to have lunch, I need to talk with you about something. Without anyone listening to us.", he answered with a serious tone.

That reply made her shocked, nodding anyways to him. So they walked towards their tower and climbed the stairs to reach their room, where they sat down on the bed. "What did you want to talk about? Has something happened?", she asked in worry.

"Lou-chan, you know that I love you and you're very important for me. For this reason, I can't keep secrets from you: I kissed Siesta on the lips earlier."

That sentence was enough to make her eyes widen, with her getting far more shocked than before. "W-what?"

"I was aware of what she felt for me and I began to like her too in the same way I love you. Even Montmorency and Jessica kissed me.", he continued to say, tightening the grip on his trousers.

That new revelation did nothing but increase her shock and made her sad too. "Is it all true? You really kissed them?"

Without hesitation, he nodded in confirmation before taking her by surprise with a hug, making her lean her face on his pectorals. "I'm sorry, Louise. I'm sorry for betraying your trust in me, but believe me, I didn't stop loving you and I never will." he told her, hugging her tighter and trembling.

His words along her state made her sadder, but she was actually sad for him because she could see that he felt too guilty for what he did. As if he was scared of having hurt her.

"I will understand if you don't want me as your familiar any-"

"No! Don't say that!", she interrupted him, using an horrified tone and reciprocating his hug.

"L-Louise?"

"I d-don't want to get separated from you. Ever since you appeared, my life became happier. You saved me from Jacques and you always care for me, so please, d-don't say that I don't need you.", she said, breaking in tears.

The young man was amazed by what she said and from how much he meant for her, hating himself for making her cry like that. He was the one to comfort her after they failed to save Wales and now he did the opposite.

'You're really too kind, but that's why I fell for you.', he thought, letting some tears fall from his own eyes. The fact that she didn't want him to disappear from her life made him very happy, but that didn't change the fact that he still broke her trust.

So he reluctantly stopped hugging her, letting her see his teary eyes that worried her more. "I don't want to lose you either, but I need to stay alone for the rest of the day, Lou-chan. Sorry.", he told her, kissing her lips briefly before going to the door.

She wanted to stop him, not doing it in the end because she understood that he was angry at himself for what he did. Despite he didn't have mercy for his enemies, her beloved was still kind and couldn't stand harming those dear to him. Even if it was him to do it.


So when he exited from their room, he went back outside and went to eat at the canteen alone. Guiche and everyone else was surprised to see him without his master because they always ate together, but Montmorency guessed that something was wrong and she got worried for him.

The swordsman was eating with the same appetite he always had, but she could feel that he wasn't in a good mood. So she sat down next to him, greeting him and asking him what happened.

In order to not be heard, he approached her ear and told her everything that happened earlier with the pinkette, leaving her stunned. "Sorry, but I want to stay alone for the rest of the day, Momon.", he said, finishing his soup and getting up from his chair.

The blondie didn't try to stop him because she understood what he was going through, so she just frowned sadly. He left the canteen and then the school grounds to go towards a nearby forest, climbing up a tree and sitting on a big branch.

"Partner, you're being too hard on yourself.", suddenly said Derflinger.

"This is not something easy, Derf. I betrayed her trust in me after I saved her life."

"And did she start to hate you? No, because that girl loves you more than anything in this world. And the other maidens that kissed you feel the same about you.", retorted the ancient sword, making him frown.

"I don't see anything wrong with having more girlfriends. You saw that Jessica is fine with sharing you and I'm sure the others will agree too."

The young man didn't forget what Siesta's cousin told him of course while he was on a mission in Tristania and the fact he kissed the sweet maid out of his own will was proof he felt something of special towards her. And Montmorency was more than a friend for him as well.

Moreover, he had promised to Louise that he would never leave her and that he would always protect her and his beloved ones no matter what, which was the main reason he kept training to get stronger. The idea of abandoning them and breaking his promise was enough to make him shake his head, as he wasn't and would never be the type of person to do that.

'That's right, I made a promise and I won't break it.', he thought, jumping down from the tree and taking out his swords to start training again. Derflinger was glad that he managed to comfort him, as he couldn't stand seeing his partner in that state.

With his new resolve, the warrior used Chaos Blade and Death Bringer on some branches as targets, destroying them in countless pieces and provoking sparks at each cut. Ever since he began to use two swords, he became much deadlier than before and killing Wardes and Matilda were clear proofs.

Counting the fact that behind the conspiracy there was also the mysterious Sheffield, he was ready to take her life if he were to meet her; he didn't care if she was a woman because he didn't have any pity for his enemies. So while he performed his moves, he imagined that the targets were her, striking them with more force.

As result, his hits caused powerful shockwaves that frightened the nearby animals, with various birds flying away. Maybe he trained earlier in the morning, but his stamina increased consistently every time he practiced his swordsmanship.

So he kept it up with his training until the sunshine, ending up all sweaty again. Around him, there were countless pieces of wood from all the branches he destroyed and some of them were reduced into dust too.

Looking at the sky, he understood that it was better to return to the academy before having to deal with some wolves like last time. Putting away his weapons, he made his way out of the forest and rentered in the school's courtyard in some minutes, attracting the attention of other people due to his appearance.

The young warrior returned to his tower and climbed the stairs to reach his room, opening the door and finding Louise on the bed. "Saito?", she mumbled, showing her reddened eyes.

Those eyes made him hate himself because he knew that she cried a lot earlier, so he didn't hesitate to go towards her and to embrace her into his arms. "Lou-chan, forgive me for hurting you like this."

"No, don't blame yourself, p-please. I know how much you care for me and that's why I keep loving you more every day.", she told him, reciprocating the hug and blushing.

"It's the same for me, but it's true that I began to like Siesta and others in the same way. I can't keep it hidden from you if I don't want to hurt you again.", he said, taking her face into his hands and locking his eyes with hers.

"Do you love them like you do with me?"

"Yes, but you always remain too important for me. You're both my girlfriend and my family, Lou-chan."

The last two words made her eyes widen, feeling an immense happiness invade her heart to eliminate the sadness that haunted it. She knew that he couldn't see his parents again after getting summoned as her familiar from his world, so knowing that he saw her like that was enough to smile joyfully like before.

That expression of hers made him smile too, so he closed his eyes and kissed her, getting reciprocated. It felt like the first day they met, when she was happy of having such a cute boy as her familiar. A guy that fought more than a noble and evil people for both her and everyone's sake and that loved her without caring her unattractive chest or her inability to perform spells.

It was that intense love that pushed him to promise her to never hurt her again, looking into her eyes again before kissing her, undressing her and having sex together all the evening. Since there were some still awake students, the pinkette's moans could be heard by them and they blushed embarrassed, shaking their heads to get them out of the gutter.

The young Gandalf penetrated her vaginal walls rapidly and passionately, smiling back at her while looking at her horny face. Her tears were both of pleasure and joy because it felt like their bond got stronger and more solid after what happened, because the fact that he was angry at himself for betraying her was the proof she meant too much for him. After all, he saw her as his family.

'I will never let somebody hurt you. I will always protect you and make you happy every day.', he thought, going faster with his thrusts and causing her to moan louder and reach the climax. She continued to smile happily at him before closing her eyes and fainting due to the overwhelming pleasure, with him caressing her head.

He stopped worrying about her faints after sex because he was aware of how too intense he could get each time he fucked her, so he hugged her close to him and covered both of them with the blanket before falling asleep. Despite being out of senses, she hugged him back anyways, smiling more brightly.


In the following morning, he woke up and noticed she was still sleeping, so he got up quietly to not wake her up and put on his clothes before letting q note for her and leaving the room. Since he made it clear that he liked other girls besides her, it was fair that he told all of those girls how he felt about them. Which was the reason why he directed himself towards the building Montmorency lived in.

In fact, he walked until there while greeting some maids and some female students, blushing but smiling. At that point, he accepted being so popular with the other sex, with the difference that he didn't want to hide how he felt about those he loved like he did with his master.

So, when he reached the right tower and climbed the stairs, he knocked on the door of Momon's room, receiving a "Coming." as reply. Once she opened the door, the water wizard blushed immediately at seeing him in front of her.

"S-Saito-kun?"

"Good morning, Momon. I need to talk about something of important with you, so can I enter?", he asked her, scratching the back of his head.

Getting redder at those words, she nodded meekly before letting him come inside and going to make two cups of tea for both of them while he sat down at the desk she had in the room. He thanked her when he received his cup of tea, taking a sip from ir before telling her how he resolved the things with Louise the night before.

She smiled in relief that they were able to make it through that difficult moment, yelping when he put a hand upon hers. "I told Lou-chan that it's true I began to like other girls too besides her, and other than Siesta there is you. Even if you tried to use a love potion on me, I forgave you for that and you showed me how much you're really in love with me. And now, I can tell you that I like you as well.", he said, fixing his determined eyes into hers.

Needless to say that her heart started to beat like crazy at listening him, imagining that it was another one of her various dreams about him. Though, it was completely real: the boy she fell for was confessing to her, not stopping to gaze with those gorgeous eyes of his.

The happiness was so great that she jumped onto him, surprising him and making them fall both on the floor. "Oh, I'm so glad, Saito-kun! I love you even more now hehe.", she told him, rubbing her face into his pectorals.

"Haha, really? I'm glad to k-know it.", he said, sweatdropping.

"I will do my best to give you the same amount of affection Louise and Siesta have for you, so shall we kiss~?", she asked him, cupping his face and licking her lips.

"W-"

He couldn't finish his sentence due to her planting her lips on his, going for a sweet kiss like the first time she did time ago. Still, he reciprocated it and used his tongue for a French one, making her squirm in his mouth while wrapping her back with his arms. He hadn't imagined that his confession to the blonde magician would have gone like that, but expressing his genuine feelings without hiding felt amazing.

As long as his will to protect all the people he held dear stayed strong and he continued to love all the women in his heart in the same way, that was what mattered the most. His master and everyone else didn't fear him despite he took two people's lives, and since Sheffield and Cromwell were surely coming up with a new plan, he was always ready to fight.

Woman or man didn't matter, because whoever was his opponents, his blades would cut all them down. He didn't want to have any pity for them because it was going to hurt his beloved ones as consequence, so if he had to kill an enemy, he would never hesitate. Never at all.

A/N

And chapter 19 is here, everyone! Well, it looks like Saito finally stopped hiding his feelings for Siesta, surprising the beautiful maid with a bold kiss in public. Telling that and about the kiss with Jessice to Louise was hard, as betraying her and hurting her is something of unbearable for him.

Thankfully, Derflinger's words helped him to find the courage to accept the fact that he loves other girls besides her, with his bond with her getting stronger than ever after telling her that she's his family. Moreover, he showed how much he loves her by protecting her often and killing Jacques to save her, so both of them don't want to lose each other.

Since Wardes and Fouquet are both dead, Reconquista's plans will be pretty different to cause a war between Tristain and Albion. What's going to happen? Stay tuned to find our.

See ya!
