The dogs drew closer to Saito.
“Dog! Many dogs! Good doggies! Uwaa! Waawaa!”
“Huh, they seem to like you a lot.”
He knew that woman by sight. She was part of Louise’s family.
The gentle aura around this woman with long pink hair.
She pressed her hand to her mouth, trying to suppress a giggle. This woman was Cattleya, Louise’s elder sister. Cattleya’s dogs nuzzled against Saito.
“Ah! Hey! Stop! Stop it!”
Sniff sniff, bark bark, sniff sniff, bark bark.
“Whaaa! Now between dogs! Don’t you match well! Adorable! What! What are you doing to my big sister!”
Louise ran up shouting.
“Even with dogs! I can’t allow it!”
Siesta shouted.
Both had a terrible look on their faces. If he was caught by those two, his life would be in danger. But because of the leaning dogs he could not do anything.
“You perverted dog!”
The moment when Louise shouted, jumping at him… Saito was lifted in the air.
“F-flying?”
Saito looked up, and found himself caught by a wind dragon. Sitting on the drake was a blue-haired girl. They turned out to be Tabitha and her familiar, which was carrying Saito on its back.
For some reason, Tabitha was wearing an airplane stewardess outfit. A young girl like Tabitha wearing a stewardess dress, appears very, very strange. Like a gag in a story.
Even though Tabitha was dressed like this she still remained focused on her book.
“What, what the… Oh, it is you… never mind, thank you for saving me.”
Saito expressed his gratitude, feeling massive relief.
But Tabitha remained the same as a ever, without making a sound.
Saito remained silent for a moment too, but everything became even more awkward, so he decided to find a topic to chat about, and finally saw Tabitha’s book.
“You know I always wondered… what kind of books are you always reading?”
Tabitha refused to answer.
Without any other method, Saito decided to go behind her and peek at the book. When he saw the title, he could not stop laughing: “Ah? Romance Technique - How to make boys like you… you… it is this kind of book?? Ahahahaha! You interested in this kind of stuff?”
Tabitha, without replying, continued to leaf through the book. Her eyes did not reveal a sliver of emotion, so it was impossible to tell if she was mad or embarrassed.
“That kind of thing, no matter how many books you read, is useless. First you have to learn how to talk to a boy. Because the purpose of your heart is important.” Saito appeared to be very knowledgeable about the matter and added: “No matter what, a person like you who never talks, is in an impossible situation.”
Saito lightly patted Tabitha’s head, and Tabitha just nodded her head toward his hand.
“Right, use me as an model, let’s practice talking.”
The blue-haired girl silently stared at Saito’s face. No matter how hard he tried, nothing was coming out of Tabitha’s mouth.
“Hey, what are you planning? If it's like this you will never find a boyfriend! Come, come on! You should know more words than spells, come on! Say something!”
He remained half joking, shaking the little girl’s head left and right. In that moment, Tabitha stood up.
“I know it.”
“Oh?”
Tabitha remained expressionless, but like a machine-gun she spat out a string of words:
“Can’t find a boyfriend? Mind your own business! Stuck between the maid and the boob-less mage, you have no right to talk about me. Someone like you, all you need to see is the princess, the village girl or elder sister with big breasts and you instantly have that “look”, really a mess. Then you will say ‘no no, I can’t do this kind of thing, because I am from another world, so I cannot support your feelings.’ But while you talk, your body doesn’t react the same way.”
“You, You,” Saito’s head became red as a tomato.
“A person like you would seriously annoy them both, you make them want to come after you with violence.”
Saito looked at Tabitha’s height and replied, “You, you little kid, don’t talk so spirited like that.”
The girl’s was a head shorter than Louise, but Tabitha’s expression remained unchanged, and added, “Who is a kid? You are the real kid! A brainless person like you who tries to step into two ships with one foot, you are ten years too early!”
“Gya!”
Saito suddenly curled into a ball aboard the wind dragon. He had apparently been kicked in the groin by Tabitha. Then Tabitha followed it with a straight kick to Saito’s face.
“I should keep you as a pet.”
“Stop joking!”
“What are you talking about? Aren't you very happy? You like it, don't you? When a loli dominates you. It is written all over your face!”
“You, you!”
Saito sprang to his feet, grabbing Tabitha’s shoulder. Then the two’s gaze met. In this moment, Tabitha’s cheeks turned red and she turned her face away. Her change made Saito’s heart leap.
“How did you manage to show emotion like that?”
But Tabitha’s next attack knocked Saito beyond belief:
“Please…”
“Please?”
“Please be gentle with me.”
Please, please be gentle?! You, you, Saito looked like an air-less goldfish with his mouth opening and closing.
The next offensive completely ripped his command center open.
“Ki, Ki…”
“Ki?”
“Kissing, teach me.”
What is she talking about? Saito was completely unable to understand.
But, it was really cute.
Because she was always expressionless, such an attack surprised Saito. Yet it wasn’t an unpleasant surprise. It was a so-called pleasant surprise. The surprise, joy, and the excitement somehow almost made Saito faint. No, it wasn’t ‘somehow’.
On closer inspection, Tabitha had beautiful snow-white skin. Her blue eyes were like sapphires. Those blue lakes, still young, were very charming and made Saito’s heart throb. Like Louise, she had those noble, elegant features… Though he did not notice before because he thought her to be too young, she was definitely beautiful…
What the heck I am thinking about - she’s still a child, he thought shaking his head.
“F-foolishness, your father would be angry at me if he caught me kissing you!”
Not flinching, Tabitha pushed her lips out.
“Onii-chan…”
Foul play! On a wind dragon, writhing in big conflict, Saito heard roaring from behind. When he turned around, he saw the Zero Fighter flying.
“Wha-!”
Within the cockpit he could see Louise’s and Siesta’s faces.
“How do you know how to fly it?!” He yelled.
“I learned it from my grandfather!” Siesta shouted.
He wondered how he could hear her voice through loudly roaring engine, and soon, undoubtedly, he heard Louise’s angry voice.
“Now you are going after a child who is even smaller than me! You love anyone - big or small! Either way will do! You are the worst!”
Don! Don! DoDo! The Zero Fighter's wings trembled.
How can they shoot twenty-millimeter bullets when they're supposed to be out of ammo?
He thought, when a jar of wine flew at him.
“Have a drink!” came Siesta’s drunken voice.
She was drunk while piloting the airplane. Saito was terrified.
“No, fly the plane.”
He muttered, before getting hit by a jar. It hurt!
Saito shouted impatiently.
“Tabitha, evade! Speed the wind dragon up to run away from the Zero Fighter!”
“Tabitha? I am Kirche, Darling.”
Somehow Tabitha turned into Kirche. Moreover, only a few seashells were covering her most important body parts.
