As the days passed, Saito meticulously prepared himself for the day he would be summoned again by Louise. He spent hours training his body, finding technology and books that he could bring to Halkeginia that wouldn't effect that world as it did his. He trained his body and mind, honing his skills with Gandálfr after managing to get his hands on a live Katana, determined to be even stronger to protect Louise when the time came.
In the meantime, Louise's empty gaze did not go unnoticed. Tabitha had grown suspicious. Why had Louise suddenly stopped reacting? Eve Kirche could tell something was wrong but none of her usual provocations seems to have any effect on Louise.
For weeks, Saito waited in Japan, watching the calendar as the day of his summoning approached. He had made all the necessary arrangements to travel to Halkeginia without arousing suspicion. Getting things like Electic Mortors, Batteries, Miniature Generators, several books on Tech and how things work. His heart pounded with anticipation and nervousness, knowing that he would soon be reunited with Louise.
On the day of his return, Saito stood in his room with a huge bag of belongings, ready it was huge, and so heavy that he was barely able to lift it even with all the training he had done. Not to mention the light Samurai Armour he wore. The summoning circle eventually activated, and a bright green oval light appeared in front of him, with a heave he managed to lift the huge Bug out bag filled with everything he planned to bring and barely managed a few steps in the portal before he collapsed.
Louise, who had just completed the summoning in the academy's courtyard, felt a strange sensation. It was as if a part of her soul had awakened, her emotions returned and she knew that it was him..
As the light dissipated, Louise's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. There, standing before her, was Saito - her familiar, her friend, her companion. Tears of joy began to roll down her eyes as she realised it was indeed him and when she saw the state he was in she began to laugh, at the silly sight of Saito underneath an oversized backpack
"Saito?" she uttered softly.
Saito grinned, looking up, relief washing over him as he saw her reaction. "Hey, Louise. I'm back."
"Saito," she repeated warmth in her voice. "You're really here."
Louise's eyes glistened with unshed tears, and she extended a trembling hand toward him. Saito gently took her hand in his, offering her a reassuring smile.
"I missed you," she admitted quietly.
"I missed you too," he replied, squeezing her hand gently. "But don't worry, Louise. We'll face everything together, just like we always have."
As they stood there, hand in hand, Louise felt a sense of comfort and familiarity wash over her. Even without her emotions fully returned, she knew that having Saito by her side made her stronger. With him, she felt like she could face any challenge that Halkeginia threw their way.
As the crowd of students watched in amazement (that Louise actually summoned something), Saito and Louise remained focused on each other, their bond stronger than ever before. Louise's emotions once locked away, now surged back with full force. She felt a mixture of joy, relief, and love, all overwhelming her as she clutched Saito's hand tightly.
"Saito, you really came back," she said, her voice quivering with emotion.
"I promised you, didn't I?" Saito replied, his eyes shining with affection for the girl before him. "I'll always come back to you, Louise."
Tears of happiness streamed down Louise's cheeks as she threw her arms around him, embracing him tightly. The weight of her emotions, both past and present, poured out through her tears. Saito held her close, understanding that this was her way of finally releasing the emotions she had been unable to feel for so long.
Colbert, who had seen many magical occurrences, couldn't help but be moved by what he was seeing, still, he was confused. Who was this man? Miss Louise clearly knew him. But he didn't seem like a noble either.
Kirche on the other hand was surprised, who knew the uptight Louise had a lover of her own? She was definitely going to see what made this man so special that Louise the most upright girl had fallen for him.
With Louise's emotions fully restored, the two of them spent the following days catching up and discussing their plans for the future. Saito showed her the items he had brought from his world - books, technology, and other useful tools. Louise was fascinated by the knowledge he had acquired and excited about the potential advancements they could bring to Halkeginia.
As they shared their dreams and aspirations, they also grew closer as a couple. The struggles they had faced only deepened their bond, and they found comfort and strength in each other's presence.
With Saito's help, Louise continued to improve her magical abilities, and together, they faced new challenges that came their way. Saito's training with Gandálfr became even more effective, and he proved to be an even more formidable protector for Louise.
Meanwhile, the world of Halkeginia began to change. With the knowledge and technology Saito had brought, Colbert and other mages worked together to make advancements that were previously thought impossible. The people of Halkeginia marveled at these new developments and saw a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.
In time, the couple's fame spread far and wide. The story of the powerful mage and her loyal familiar, a peasant who came from another world and ascended to the rank of knight, captured the hearts of many. They became legends, inspiring hope and courage among the people.
One of his titles was the Knight of Love...You can guess why he has that.
As the days turned into weeks and months, Saito and Louise faced numerous challenges together, united as an unbreakable team. And as they worked side by side to protect and improve Halkeginia, their love only grew stronger.
And as they walked hand in hand, their destinies entwined, they knew that no matter what came their way, they would face it together, with unwavering love and determination.
