It was like a dream.

Everyone stared blankly at the red-haired girl who appeared out of nowhere. No one said a word. Everyone opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say. For a moment, it seemed that even the air froze.

"Hey, hey, Louise!"

After a while, a brown-skinned girl with a hot body shouted hurriedly. Hearing her shout, the pink-haired girl came to her senses, stood up hurriedly and nodded vigorously.

"No, that's right, I am your master..."

Although she said this, it was obvious that the girl was not confident enough. However, she seemed to notice the gazes of others, gritted her teeth, and then quickly walked in front of the red ponytail.

"My name is Louise Frances Lou Blanc du La Vallière! PENDAKON, the combined power of the five elements, please bless her and let her become my familiar."

After saying this, Louise closed her eyes and moved closer to the red ponytail.

Just when Red Ponytail was wondering what she was going to do, she saw Louise kissing her lips.

Just a moment.

The next moment, Red Ponytail felt a sudden surge of high temperature in her body, and then the power in it quickly condensed on her right hand, forming a special rune.

Is this... a fragment of the core of order?

Feeling the power contained in it, Red Ponytail was stunned. Although it was not quite the same, it was very similar to the power of order that Fang Zheng felt from the golden fairy.

In other words... is this the part that remains after the core of order was shattered?

If that's the case... then that's a good thing!

"May I have your name?"

At this moment, the voice of the girl in front of her brought the red-tailed girl, who was lost in thought, back to her senses.

Come to think of it, her voice is very similar to Shana's.

That's right.

Thinking of this, Red Ponytail smiled slightly.

"Just call me... Saber."

After that, Red Ponytail also spent some time to understand her current situation. To her surprise, this continent was not the world where Fang Zheng originally lived, which meant that there was no Lina Inbass and the others on this continent, nor did the Kingdom of Re-Estize and Lugnica exist... To put it bluntly, this was a different world.

But Red Ponytail wasn't particularly surprised by this.

Because she remembered very clearly that the background of that world had been introduced in Slayers. According to Lina Inbass, this world was a huge plate supported on the Sea of ​​Chaos, and originally there seemed to be several worlds in the world of Slayers, and the one where Lina Inbass and the others were was just one of the "plates".

Not only that, Emilia and Parker also said that the end of this world is a huge waterfall, also known as the Great Falls. And if I remember correctly, the knight owned by the woman named Priscilla in the King's Election Candidate seems to have introduced himself as a person from another world outside the Great Falls. If this is the case, it can be confirmed that the background setting that Lina Inbas said should be true and reliable.

By the way, there seemed to be an unusually large number of travelers in this world. Was this also the influence of chaos? After all, I had hardly seen many travelers in other worlds before. On the contrary, after arriving at this coordinate point, all kinds of travelers appeared one after another.

But then again, this is the world of Zero no Tsukaima...

Red Ponytail knew a little about this world. After all, she had watched this anime before, but she only watched one episode and threw it away. The reason was simple, because the hero of Zero no Tsukaima was always ordered around by the heroine, treated like a dog and whipped, which was not pleasant at all. Maybe the Japanese liked this tune, but Fang Zheng at that time had no interest in it.

Having said that, that was also the time when this kind of tune was the most popular, such as "My Sassy Girl"... all of that stuff.

However, time-travel dramas were quite popular at that time, such as "A Step into the Past" and "Love Across Time and Space". That's why Fang Zheng went to watch "Zero no Tsukaima" after listening to the introduction. But he threw it away after watching one episode... What's so good about a man being ordered around and whipped by girls?

I originally thought it was a refreshing novel like "A Step into the Past", but it turned out to be another kind of neurosis unique to the Japanese.

But then again, Shana's voice is very recognizable. Fang Zheng has traveled through so many worlds, and he often encounters people with similar voices to Shana. For example, Alisa in Nanoha's world, the summoned vampire, Minase Iori in the love world, and Louise in this world...

This can't be considered a coincidence, right?

But it doesn’t matter.

Thinking of this, Red Ponytail opened her eyes and looked at Louise who was sleeping beside her. Speaking of which, it seemed that the unlucky guy in the animation was driven to the corner by Louise to sleep on the straw, but she was still quite respectful to herself, at least she slept on a bed... Well, this is not bad.

Red Ponytail wasn't worried that she would treat her like the idiot in the animation. She wasn't the kind of Japanese otaku who would fall to her knees when she saw a woman. If the little girl dared to lose her temper with her... hehe, Shana was a lesson for her.

By the way, it’s daybreak now.

Looking out the window, Red Ponytail shook her head and then sat up. After Louise summoned her yesterday, they only exchanged names, and then Louise took her on a tour of the entire academy. At the same time, Red Ponytail also had a general idea of ​​the situation in this world. Louise was in a magic school similar to Hogwarts, and the wands used by the students here were also similar to those of Hogwarts... I really don't know who copied whose.

"Louise, time to get up."

Thinking of this, Red Ponytail reached out and pushed Louise beside her.

“Woo…”

Hearing the voice of Red Ponytail, Louise opened her eyes drowsily, then yawned, and was stunned when she saw Red Ponytail.

"Woooaa! Who are you?!"

"...Are you still asleep?"

"Oh, by the way, you are Saber..."

Hearing the helpless answer from the red ponytail, Louise finally reacted and lowered her head in embarrassment. To be honest, she was just angry at the time and the summoning spell was just a random one. She originally thought it would end in failure like usual, but she didn't expect to actually summon a familiar.

This made Louise feel a little overwhelmed, just like when she thought she would never win the lottery, but was told that she had won the first prize. She didn't even know how to use the money.

All in all, I could only take her back to my room and then think of a solution.

As a result, I fell asleep because I was too tired.

"Anyway, wash up first and then eat. I'll take you to the restaurant."

Louise said hurriedly as she climbed up from the bed, and Red Ponytail didn't say anything, just nodded.

Woo...what should I do?

After washing up and changing clothes, Louise walked towards the restaurant with her red ponytail. She was confused all the way. The familiars summoned by others were all animals, so it didn't matter. It was just like raising stray cats and dogs. At most, you just need to pay attention to feeding them. But the one she summoned was a person... and it seemed to be a very powerful girl, which made Louise a little overwhelmed.

Then again, those rumors must have spread throughout the academy.

When she reached the door of the restaurant, Louise couldn't help but get nervous, but she still took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and walked into the restaurant.

“……!”

Almost instantly, the noisy restaurant became quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at Louise and the red ponytail behind her.

"That child is the familiar summoned by Zero Louise?"

“It looks so cute…!”

"Could it be Louise's sister..."

Hmmmm…

Feeling the gazes from all around, Louise puffed out her chest with pride. Although she had always been unwelcome in this academy, now, at least she could summon such a cute familiar!

In comparison, Red Ponytail is somewhat depressed.

This is not because of the gazes from all directions, but because of my height...

You have to know that Louise is considered short among these people, only about 1.5 meters tall.

However, the height of Red Ponytail including the hair accessories is less than 1.3 meters...

So when two people walk together, they feel more like sisters.

"Just sit next to me, and after you finish eating, go to class with me."

Looking at the red ponytail beside her, Louise hesitated for a moment, and still felt that it was more reassuring to leave her by her side. This was not intentional on Louise's part, but she also felt that the way these classmates looked at the red ponytail made her uncomfortable, and some of the boys even had their eyes shining, revealing a very dangerous criminal atmosphere. Although she knew that the people here were all nobles and would not do anything out of line, her familiar was still a child after all (in Louise's opinion), what if she was kidnapped?

"OK."

Hearing Louise's order, the red ponytail nodded. She was not wearing the combat uniform she wore before, but Louise's former student uniform - well, it must be said that it fit her well.

"Hey, Louise Zero!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, a sharp voice sounded. Hearing this voice, Louise turned her head in displeasure, and then saw a young man staring at her.

"Who are you?"

"Have you never heard of my name? I am the Wild Beiye!"

...What the hell?

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Red Ponytail almost spit out water.

Bear Grylls? And Wild? What kind of name is that? These people are all Chuunibyou. Oh, it seems that they are at the age of Chuunibyou.

"What do you want?"

"I say, is that little girl really the familiar you summoned?"

As he spoke, the young man who called himself Bei Ye stretched out his hand and pointed at the red ponytail.

"Do you doubt me?"

"Of course, because you are Louise of Zero! Everyone knows that you have failed in all kinds of magic, so how could you possibly summon a familiar? And a human one at that? You couldn't have brought your maid or sister here to disguise as a familiar, did you?"

"Nonsense, I didn't!"

Louise's eyes widened when she heard this.

"My teacher and my classmates can testify to this!"

"But you said she is a familiar, so does she have the ability to fight?"

Bei Ye's doubts were not without reason. After all, if it was just looks, then Red Ponytail would be no different from an ordinary cute little girl.

If you ask her if she has any fighting ability, no one will believe it.

"Isn't it possible that her only ability is to make your bed?"

Hearing this, Louise stood up even more angrily.

"That's nonsense! She's not my sister, and I'm the youngest daughter of the Eriwal family, so how could I have a sister?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's the child your father had with his lover..."

“Nonsense!”

Hearing this, Louise completely went berserk... Well, this is the Louise she knew.

"How dare you insult the honor of my Erival family? I will duel with you!"

"Okay, but I require your familiar to be on the field!"

"Why?"

Hearing what Bei Ye said, Louise was stunned for a moment.

"Why?"

"Because a familiar is the magician's partner. If they can't fight together, then what's the point of having them? Since you said she's a familiar, then she must be able to fight."

"This... this is of course!"

Louise said this, and looked at the red ponytail cautiously, and the red ponytail nodded slightly to her. After receiving the response from the red ponytail, Louise immediately raised her head and chest again.

"Okay, no problem! I'll show you how powerful my familiar is!"
