"Finally, I'll have a sword! I can't wait to see what kind of sword will become my partner."
"How silly, getting so excited just because you're buying a sword."
Walking beside Saito, Louise didn't understand why her Familiar seemed so excited just because she promised to buy him a sword today.
Louise was very unhappy to have summoned two commoners as her Familiars. Moreover, one of those commoners had run away from her!
However, the duel between Saito and Guiche yesterday had left a deep impression on her. Unexpectedly, her Familiar managed to defeat Guiche, who had summoned his own Familiar, after being given a sword.
Louise knew that Saito had never held a sword before. So, she assumed it was due to the contract between Master and Familiar.
A Familiar gaining special powers when a contract is formed is basic common sense.
"In my world, not just anyone can have a real sword, Japan's rules on weapons are quite strict."
What man hasn't dreamed of becoming a swordsman? At least Saito was one of them.
"Hmph, so childish. Don't show your embarrassing side in front of others, it will tarnish the name of the Vallière family."
Flipping her pink hair, Louise glared at Saito.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Lady~"
After two days of interacting, Saito was already used to dealing with the other's arrogant behavior.
"Let's hurry, we don't want that thief cat to catch up with us."
"Louise, don't rush, just relax."
Saito quickened his pace to match Louise's walking speed.
Of course, he knew who she meant by 'thief cat.'
'Compared to Louise, whether in personality or body, Kirche is superior. Ah, why am I not her Familiar...'
He couldn't help but recall Kirche's body, clad only in a thin nightgown that barely covered her vital parts.
For some unknown reason, since Saito defeated Guiche in the duel, he had attracted Kirche's attention, who even sneaked into Louise's room, seducing him with sexy clothing, persuading him to break the contract with Louise, and offering to become her Familiar.
Saito almost agreed, tempted and blinded by lust, if not for Louise waking up, he might have already become Kirche's Familiar.
The two arrived at the special place where carriages were parked at the Tristain Academy of Magic.
"Ugh, why are you here, Kirche."
Louise frowned seeing the girl who wanted to snatch her Familiar.
"You're so mean, Louise~, leaving without saying a word. Is this how you treat your friends?"
Kirche walked closer, crossing her arms over her chest, intentionally flaunting her large breasts in front of the flat-chested Louise.
"We're not friends! And also, where I go is none of your business, don't bother me. What are you looking at, you perverted man!"
Noticing Saito staring lecherously at Kirche's chest, Louise kicked his shin.
"Ouch Ouch Ouch... What did I do wrong?"
Hopping on one foot, Saito grimaced while holding his kicked leg.
"Ara, you're not as elegant as usual, Louise. If you keep treating your Familiar harshly, he might run away like your other Familiar~." Kirche said with a thin smile.
"Saito is my Familiar, my slave, and my errand boy! It's up to me how I treat him, it has nothing to do with you!"
Turning around, Louise glared at her and shouted loudly.
"Louise..."
Hearing that, Saito felt uncomfortable.
What human wants to be regarded as a slave?
"Do you still have any business? If not, go away quickly. Unlike you, I'm very busy."
"Too bad, I have information about your runaway Familiar. Since you're chasing me away, I guess you don't want to know."
"Really?"
Louise stared at Kirche suspiciously.
Seeing Saito's natural ability to use a sword after the contract was formed, she suspected that the runaway Familiar should be the same. So, she was increasingly determined to find her other Familiar and form a contract with him.
"Of course, my words can be trusted."
Under Louise's shocked gaze and Saito's wide-eyed stare, Kirche took out a scroll of paper from her cleavage.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen this in real life. Do women's chests have a special dimension?" Saito muttered in a low voice, but still loud enough for the two women to hear.
"Fufu~, want to check for yourself?" Kirche puffed out her chest and smiled.
"Can I?" Saito said excitedly.
In his original world, he was just an ordinary high school student. He was always envious of popular guys liked by girls. Now he was close to several girls, and personally felt how it was to be popular among girls.
"How dare you act perverted in front of me! Disobedient pet!"
"ARHHH!!!"
Saito's pitiful scream echoed loudly in the carriage yard. Holding his groin, he fell weakly to the ground after receiving Louise's kick.
"Wasn't that a bit too much?"
Seeing him curled up like a worm, Kirche felt a bit sorry.
"Hmph, it's a light punishment for being disrespectful in front of me."
Without feeling guilty, Louise took the wanted poster from Kirche's hand and opened it.
"This.... a wanted poster?"
Once the scroll was opened, there was a sketch of a handsome young man with white hair and blue eyes.
Of course, Louise had seen this wanted poster before. After all, the Vallière family had close ties with the Tristain Royal Family. In fact, she had a friendly relationship with the queen.
"Look closely, doesn't the person in the poster look a lot like the Familiar you summoned? When I first saw him, I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before, after thinking for a long time, I remembered your Familiar looks exactly like the perpetrator of the knight massacre that happened a year ago."
"If it's really him, Louise, you've summoned a dangerous individual."
The smile on Kirche's face disappeared and was replaced with seriousness.
"Maybe they just look alike. Remember, that commoner only has one hand! Yes, it must just be a resemblance."
Crushing the wanted poster, Louise continued to deny it.
She did not want to acknowledge that the Familiar she had summoned was the criminal who caused chaos in the capital a year ago.
If the queen found out....
Louise did not want her relationship with the queen to be strained because of this issue.
"Well, that's just my speculation. If your Familiar really is that person, he should have caused chaos by now, right? But until now, everything's fine."
"That's right! Saito, how much longer are you going to curl up, you lazy slave, get in the carriage."
Not wanting to discuss this further, Louise pulled Saito who was starting to feel a bit better.
"I'll join. I'm bored at the academy, you don't mind, do you, Louise?"
"Huh, do as you like."
This time Louise did not refuse. She worried Kirche would spread rumors that she had summoned the kingdom's most dangerous criminal as her Familiar.
After the three entered the carriage, the driver whipped the horses, and the carriage started to leave the Tristain Academy of Magic.
What they didn't know was that there was a stowaway under the carriage.
'Looks like I'll need to hide my appearance once I arrive in town,' Thought Eiji.
