But, Saito was not there. Colbert, by himself, was doing something noisily to the Dragon's Raiment that was left in front of his laboratory.
Louise asked Colbert.
“Mister Colbert, have you seen Saito?”
“I don't know... He hasn't come here for two or three days.”
Louise looked at the Zero fighter and was astonished. The engine part of the nose had been removed from the body and placed on the ground, and it had been tragically disassembled.
“Oh, this! I just got interested in the structure. I didn't get permission from Saito-kun, but I lightly disassembled it. It's complicated, but theoretically speaking, it is not much different from the 'Joyful Snake-kun' I designed. Still, this is quite a fragile thing. If it flies once, it has to be precisely disassembled and have the parts looked over. Otherwise, not only will it fail to perform to its original efficiency, there is also a chance it will break...”
Colbert finally started talking about the engine's structure and maintenance.
“Ha, hah... Well then, pardon me.”
Louise didn't really have interest in that conversation, so she bowed her head and started to run once again. Colbert shouted at her back.
“Miss! If you meet Saito-kun, tell him this! I have placed a surprising new weapon onto this 'Dragon's Raiment'!”
The next place Louise visited was the tower of wind. In the magic academy, towers were arranged into a pentagram with the main tower in the center. The tower of wind was one of them. It was mostly only used for lessons. There was only one entrance.
Louise witnessed the suspicious shadow of a person disappearing through the door into the tower. Whitish clothing... a large collar.
Clearly, it was the sailor outfit worn by Montmorency just a while ago.
Who is it? If it was Montmorency, then it would be blond hair... The person who entered a moment ago had black hair. Louise secretly followed the person.
Opening the door to the tower of wind, she ran straight down the corridor that had semicircular rooms arranged to the left and right.
Slowly pushing the door open, she heard the sound of footsteps steadily climbing up the staircase.
After Louise held her breath on the first floor for a while, she pursued after the person. She heard the sound of a door opening and closing on the second floor.
To keep herself from making sounds from her footsteps, Louise cautiously came up to the door. There, Louise leaned her body closely to it. This should be the warehouse. Just what does the person wearing the white sailor outfit plan to do here?
Louise pushed back her pink-blond hair and placed her ear on the door. She heard a strange voice from inside. An intermittent one......
“Haah, Nn, Haahaa...”
That kind of voice. Louise's eyebrows bent into a “へ”. Because it was small, she could not figure out who it was.
But, it was a guy's.
At a place like this, calling out someone wearing those garments... A person who can make those voices...
Louise thought up a terrible delusion inside her mind.
“Haa! Cu-cu, cute...”
Cute? At that moment, something flipped inside Louise's head.
Baang! She opened the door and pounced into the room.
“What are you doing?!”
“Hiiiiii!”
The person there turned around. The person was wearing the sailor outfit, and what's more, was wearing a skirt below. Sure enough, it was the fat Malicorne.
“Ma-Ma, Malicorne?”
“Louise!” Malicorne tried to run and escape, but he wasn't used to the skirt, so his feet got tangled in it and he fell over.
“Ah! Nna! Ah! Fua! AAH!”
Malicorne shouted while writhing on the floor. With the look of an ogre, Louise trampled on Malicorne's back. In the warehouse was an old mirror. The “Liar's Mirror”. It was a mirror that reflected ugly things beautifully and beautiful things unattractively, but for various reasons, it almost got broken, so it was shut here. It seemed Malicorne was finding self-satisfaction in reflecting himself in the mirror. What a preposterous pleasure.
“Why are you wearing that?”
“No, it was just too lovely... Bu-but, I don't have anyone to wear it for me...”
“So you wore it yourself?”
“Th-that's right! Is that wrong? I-I have to wear it myself! Guiche has Montmorency and your commoner of a familiar has that maid from the kitchen! But, I don't have a girlfriennnnnd!”
“What did you say? What about Saito and the maid?”
Louise's eyes went up.
“Eh? Well, he had the maid wear these clothes and spin around... Aah, it was moving! Just thinking back to it, my heart feels burnt from those lovely senses! That's why I should at least reflect myself in this mirror wearing it as a memento of that memory... Aaah, I... I'm such a lovely fairy... AAAaaaaahh!”
Malicorne shouted. Louise trampled that face with her foot.
“Silence.”
“Ah! Aah! Ah! Louise! Ah! Louise! Being stepped on by a beautiful girl like you... I feel like I'll lose my sense! Clear away my sins! Let me repent for it! Crush my sins of losing control over myself from acting like a lovely fairy in a place like this! There's something wrong with me! Ah! Ah! Nnnnaaaaaaaaa!”
Just like that, Louise trampled Malicorne's face and caused him to faint.
“Yeah, there is something wrong with you.”
Louise muttered, her shoulders moving up and down from anger.
“I see... So that is what it was about... The maid is that good... So she's so good that you would give her a lovely outfit as a present... Plus, you had fun making her spin around and around? Don't joke with me.”
Tightly squeezing her hands into fists, Louise growled.
“That familiar. Even though he kissed me.”
At the corner of the appointed place, Vestri Plaza, Siesta came up to the staircase of the tower of fire after night had completely fallen. After her job ended, it took time to clean her body with a bath and finish dressing up.
She headed towards the landing of the staircase, but Saito was not there. There were only two barrels there. The surroundings were dim. Siesta worriedly looked around her.
“Saito-san...”
Discouragingly muttering that, the cover of a barrel opened up with a sound.
Siesta instinctively backed off, but Saito popped up from inside it.
“Siesta.”
“Wah! Saito-san! Why are you there?!”
“Well, there were some circumstances... Wai-, eh?”
Saito looked at Siesta's appearance and his eyes widened. She was wearing that handmade sailor uniform.
“Y-you came wearing it?”
“Eh, yes... Because, I thought Saito-san would be happier if I wore this.”
Crap. I should have said return it, instead of bring it. There's no way I can tell her to take it off right here. While Saito was panicking like that, Siesta spun around and stood a finger in front of her face.
The skirt lightly soared up.
“Un, um... Th-thanks for waiting.”
Then Siesta smiled brightly. C, cute. Saito involuntarily blushed.
At that time, the sound of a barrel shaking behind them happened.
Siesta went “Kyaa!” and clung to Saito.
“Nyaa, nyaa” came the cry of a cat.
Saito stroked his chest in relief.
“Oh, just a cat...”
But, the problem wasn’t the cat. Siesta was pressing her breasts on him. They were squashed by Saito’s chest, and the handmade sailor uniform freely changed its shape.
Saito’s face paled. Th-th-th, this sensation is.
“S-Siesta, um...”
