Chapter 8: Becoming Doge

Michael wakes up in yet another unfamiliar location, this time atop a haystack in a dim room. There was a round table in the middle of the room with two chairs next to it, two wardrobes against the wall and a large, fancy bed in the corner.

It was easily recognisable to Michael, especially if he compared it against Louise's room in the anime...

He looks down at the back of his left hand and spots the Gandalfr runes printed there, momentarily admiring the rather 'cool-looking' letters. He wondered if this is what it felt like to get a tattoo, but had his thoughts quickly diverted when a presence announced itself.

"So you're finally awake?" Louise asks, standing next to the haystack Michael was laying on.

Michael jolts in surprise at the sudden intrusion, causing his ankle to twist as he tries to spring to his feet. He groans in pain and looks up from the floor at his disappointed 'master', the girl standing with crossed arms while looking condescendingly at him.

Louise sighs, turn away from Michael due to his embarrassing display, wondering if it would actually be better to have not summoned anything at all... But quickly crushes those thoughts when she imagines the disappointed looks on her family's faces.

"I am disappointed that you were unable to attend to me today, but it is also partly my fault for injuring you during your summoning. I will graciously withhold your due punishment if you do your job adequately... Are we in agreement?"

Michael is confused momentarily, before realising that she was taking responsibility for the injuries he'd taken from the truck... Maybe he could take advantage of this...?

He sits up and crosses his legs, giving Louise a pitiful look, "Miss... Could you return me to my home? One moment I was attending to my baby sister, the next all I felt was pain... I would be incredibly grateful if you could send me back."

Louise grimaces slightly at his words but manages to keep most of her reaction hidden, "You have been bound as my familiar, which means you will serve me for the rest of your life. There is no way to return you to wherever you came from, but even if you wished to, we are now bound together." she gestures at the runes on his hand. "Now you will cease your questions and attend to me." she states as she walks over to her wardrobe and begins taking off her clothes...

Michael can't turn away from the rather erotic scene before him, the rags he was wearing not providing much cover as a bulge makes itself known.

Louise tosses her shirt, skirt, blouse, panties and socks into Michael's face, doing her best to avoid firing an explosion at his perverse reaction. "Wash these and control yourself, if my familiar starts to act like a dog, I might have to neuter him." she threatens as she puts on her nighttime clothes, causing Michael to pale slightly.

He just stands there as Louise climbs into bed and ignores him, trying to sleep...

Honestly, he didn't really know how to wash her clothes... Sure, he could use a washing machine, but doing it by hand like some medieval peasant? He wondered if anyone in his family had hand-washed clothes within four generations...

He releases a quiet sigh and heads for the door, trying to recall the events in the anime so he could work them to suit him. Saito was supposed to flee and get acquainted with Guiche and his 'on-the-side' girlfriend, eventually allowing Saito to bait Guiche into a duel, where he'd reveal his abilities as Gandalfr and get some benefits.

Michael pauses in the hallway as cold sweat drips down his back at a realisation though... Those events should have happened yesterday... But he'd missed it due to the way he'd been summoned. That meant he had a limited amount of time to reveal his abilities, and train for upcoming events that'd undoubtedly kick his ass.

Not to mention missing his chance to woo Siesta, the second love interest... Michael wasn't sure what would happen if he avoided her, as she may or may not be integral to the events that'd unfold... He knew for sure that he'd need to go to her village to uncover the World War 2 plane, that'd be used to defeat the Albion invasion...

He rubs his temples as a headache starts to form, maybe he could avoid all of this by simply telling Louise that she's a Void Mage? Void Mages were the most powerful magic users in this world, so allowing her to train her magic sooner might help, right?

Or, it'd simply attract more attention, and leave him in an even more dire state.

Suddenly, as he's walking, he's smacked in the face as a door opens and a man steps out from a room... His hair was damp, and he'd obviously exerted himself a great deal recently, not to mention the rather obvious scent of sex that covered his body.

"Thank you my flame, I will endeavour to return to you again tomorrow." he grins, flashing his almost luminous white teeth.

"And I you, Styx..." a woman currently hidden by the door lasciviously replies, "Ah, but, could you wait until the day after tomorrow? Your passions have left me rather sore." she says, obviously to cover up other intentions.

Styx though just gives an oblivious smile and nods, "For you, anything." he says, giving a deep bow and leaving... He does notice Michael, but chooses to ignore him, seeing some plebian familiar spirit beneath his notice.

Apparently spotting Styx's attention, the woman closes the door slightly and leans over to see who it is, raising a brow at Zero's familiar. "Hmm? Are you lost?" she asks, smirking slightly at Michael's stunned expression.

He had good reason to be stunned too, as Kirche was as 'womanly' as one would imagine... She was currently wearing some rather revealing lingerie, allowing him to see much of her healthy dark tanned skin... Her boobs were massive, especially compared to what Louise was equipped with... Were they... H cup?...

Her face wasn't lacking either, looking mature yet still retaining much of her youth as a sixteen-year-old. Her hair was a strong shade of red, almost announcing her affinity with fire, along with her amber eyes that seemed to suck him in.

She was one of the love interests for Saito, and Michael was all too aware of the fact that he could woo her at one point... Just imagining himself massaging those-"

*Flick*

Kirche flicks him on the forehead, becoming bored with his lustful staring, "It's rude to stare you know?"

"Ah-er, yeah, sorry... I was just surprised is all." he murmurs, clutching Louise' clothes tighter.

Chapter 9: Plotted for Destruction

Kirche spots the clothes and grins, "Are those Zero's clothes? They must be, who else on this floor is as small as she is?..." she looks him up and down, "Aside from maybe you, of course." she adds, mocking his 5.2 ft height.

Michael shakes his head and quickly makes his way past her, not wanting to get into a situation where Louise could place the blame on him... He'd seen far too much of Saito getting into a misunderstanding and getting blown to kingdom come to be unaware of it. "Sorry! Thank you!" he says as he departs, causing the girl to giggle at his antics.

He makes is way down the tower, cursing the fact that Louse's room is one of the highest in the school... Perhaps she was trying to make up for her personal lack of height? He chuckles to himself as he wanders into the dark courtyard of the school, unable to stop himself occasionally glancing up at the two moons overhead.

One was blue, and was twice the size of the other which was a pink colour almost mirroring Louise's own hair... Michael wondered if they had any significance, as Saito was usually depicted wearing a blue jacket that would've matched the other moon perfectly as well.

He shakes his head and continues looking around the place, trying to find where the servants lived so he could pawn off the cleaning onto them... And hopefully meet Siesta while he was at it.

After around an hour of looking and getting lost, he eventually found a door in the wall leading to the kitchen and the rest of the staff residences. He walks inside and spots a few people still awake, some cleaning pots while others were playing cards, using this free time to relax.

One of the maids glance over and spot him observing them, "Ah! It's you! That dead guy!" she exclaims, drawing everyone's attention towards him.

Michael quickly became embarrassed after becoming the center of attention and wasn't even able to say anything as the maid approached him, "Seriously, you looked like a corpse when Miss Valliere summoned you... At least they went to the effort of healing you after hurting you in the first place."

Another maid scoffs, "Yeah, but it was probably just to save face for her failure. I mean, just look at what happened yesterday." she says causing everyone else to frown.

Michael crooks a brow, "What happened yesterday?"

The maid gives a solemn sigh, "Siesta, she ended up accidentally offended Mr Gramont..."

"Yeah, something about her revealing his relations to a 1st year to his girlfriend. I was watching, it wasn't even her fault!" another chimes in.

"Wait, so in the end, what happened to Siesta?" Michael presses, getting a bad feeling about this whole situation.

The maid next to him grits her teeth in indignation, "For offending the son of an Earl, Siesta received 50 lashes of the whip, and was expelled from the academy without pay..."

...

Michael felt like the sky was about to crash atop him, Siesta was kicked out? One of the central characters of the anime was immediately eliminated without him being able to do anything about it... This did save her from Count Mott's clutches, the man basically forcing her to become his mistress, but it also prevent him from using her to advance the plot...

Not to mention the fact that Guiche had gotten an innocent person whipped and fired as punishment for accidentally revealing his own infidelity... What an absolute cunt!

He rubs his face in exasperation, feeling like giving up here and now before he remembers why he'd actually come here. "Erm, could any of you help me with these?" he presents Louise' clothing, "I don't have much experience hand washing things, in my country we usually use machines for that sort of thing." he explains.

The maids give him an odd look but the nearest to him breathes a sigh and tosses her playing cards back to the table, "I'll show you once, but from then on you're on your own... We have enough work on our plates as it is." she says while gesturing for him to follow.

"Wouldn't you need to clean these clothes anyway? I doubt my 'master' had been without assistance since I got here... Ah, my name is Michael by the way."

"Fay. And yeah, we would, but since it's your job now I'm not going to do your work for you. Got it?"

She leads him to a well and gets some equipment out of it, along with some scents for after the cleaning, and some chemicals used to properly rinse all the dirt out. She then shows him how to use the washing board and not tear the clothes while he was at it...

By the end his hands were red raw, chemicals combined with the rough conditions making Fay laugh at his plight... He was like a fish out of water, and obviously couldn't wash clothes to save his life... But at least he managed to finish it.

"That should do it... It's annoying work, I know. But I'll tell you something that'll annoy you as much as it does us... The nobles can cast one spell and completely clean their clothes, making all this effort unnecessary... If they could just be bothered to take care of themselves." she shrugs her shoulders, "Whatever, I'm headed back to the kitchen, take those back to your 'master' after putting this stuff away." she gestures as the wooden bucket they'd been using.

He nods and watches her leave, wondering how long he'd be forced to wash Louise's clothing before he was able to show his worth... He'd only done it once and knew he didn't want to do it again, the chemicals making his skin itch incessantly.

He'd try his luck tomorrow by goading Guiche to see if he'd be able to improve his rather shit situation... On the bright side, at least he hadn't been 'exploded' by Louise yet... Right?
