A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 30 : Louise is so scared
{Chapter 30} Louise is so scared
"Anna Senpai!!!"
That afternoon, Louise, clad in plate armor and wielding a hand-and-a-half sword and a kite shield, charged in with her shield raised.
Louise was unstoppable. Despite being only an F-rank knight and facing servants who were mostly D-rank professionals, she managed to push through the crowd of servants blocking her way and burst into the room where Helga was.
Upon seeing Helga, Louise's anxious expression instantly turned fierce:
"Helga, you bastard, how dare you give Anna Senpai nightmares! I’ll cut you down with my sword!"
After receiving Helga's "highest order," the servant immediately sought Darlak's permission to use the teleportation array, which Darlak fully supported.
After teleporting directly to the town, the servant rushed to Louise's mansion without stopping, even bypassing the guards. He nearly got killed by the old butler before finally delivering the letter to Louise.
As soon as Louise read the letter, she panicked. She handed over all the documents to her subordinates, quickly changed into her armor, and, accompanied by a few close guards, used a precious teleportation ring to return to her home in the capital.
Louise didn’t even have time to greet her father before she mounted her horse. If she hadn’t kept a shred of rationality and known better than to gallop recklessly through the capital, she would probably be in a detention cell by now.
"Louise... I’m fine now."
However, Anna, lying on the bed, had already returned to her usual self, albeit with a pale complexion.
"Senpai!"
Overwhelmed by worry and longing, Louise immediately dropped her sword and shield and rushed to embrace Anna.
"You idiot! You’re still wearing your armor! Are you trying to crush Anna to death?"
Seeing that Louise was about to throw herself onto Anna, Helga quickly reminded her.
"Still better than someone who didn’t take care of Senpai properly!" Louise shot a glare at Helga, then, to Anna's astonishment, removed her armor at lightning speed and threw herself into Anna's arms.
"Honestly."
Helga clicked her tongue but didn’t say anything more. She simply left the room, temporarily leaving it to Louise and Anna.
"Senpai, are you really okay?"
"Yes, seeing you, I feel like I’m already better."
As she inhaled the familiar, unique floral scent she hadn’t smelled in a long time, the restlessness in her heart gradually subsided.
"Then let’s hug a little longer..."
Having not seen each other for so long, Louise also cherished the feeling of holding Anna.
Although "so long" was only a few days, to Louise, it felt like an eternity.
"Louise..."
Holding Louise and feeling a different sensation compared to Helga, Anna murmured softly.
"Let’s not be apart anymore, okay?"
"Even a few days apart... I’m not really happy about it."
‘Senpai is acting spoiled with me!’
Louise was surprised by Anna’s vulnerable demeanor, but along with the surprise came a hint of joy.
‘The spoiled Senpai... so cute, so cute, so cute!’
"Okay! We’ll never be apart again!" Louise lifted her head from Anna’s chest and looked into her eyes. "These past few days, I missed you so, so, so much!"
"Every day felt like I was a fish dying of thirst, constantly yearning for you, like water, Senpai~"
One moment, Louise was gazing at Anna, and the next, they were pressed together.
As if to quench her thirst, Louise continuously sought Anna’s love, and Anna wanted to respond to that love.
A moment later...
"Senpai, are you feeling better now?"
"Of course!"
The usual slacker Anna was fully revived!
Hmm, it must have been too many days without Louise’s energy that made me so listless! To think I’d become like this over such worries...
Oh no, just thinking about that ending, Anna felt her mood darkening again.
With that thought, Anna hugged Louise even tighter.
..."Her mood has improved."
"Her mood has improved!"
"Her mood has improved..."
Saying the same sentence but with three different tones, the trio sat on the other side of the table, watching Anna eat sweets.
"...Atala, why are you here too?" Louise, who had been frantic over Anna’s situation, finally had the time to notice other things.
"I ran into her earlier, and for various reasons, she ended up staying here," Anna explained matter-of-factly.
"But you arrived really quickly. I thought you’d only make it by tonight," Helga said, stuffing sweets into her mouth as usual.
"When it comes to Senpai, how could I arrive late? Senpai needs me, so of course, I came as fast as possible!"
"If Senpai had needed you and you were even a second late, I’d have cut your head off with my sword."
"If it ever came to that, I’d just bash my head against my staff, okay?"
As for Atala, she had no interest in joining their conversation and simply continued eating her sweets in silence.
Anna, meanwhile, looked at Atala with mixed feelings.
After all, in the simulation, she was the one who spent the rest of her life with me, though I don’t know exactly how it ended, only that she disappeared...
"By the way, Helga."
Louise looked at Helga, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"You didn’t do anything strange to Senpai, did you?"
Anna, who was about to sip her tea, froze.
If she had taken a sip, she probably would have spat it out the next second.
"...No, of course not. It was just a normal... kiss."
Helga tried to maintain a calm expression, but the pauses in her speech were far too obvious.
"Is that so?"
Louise, however, seemed not to notice. She just gave Helga a suspicious look but didn’t press further.
"Senpai has only been here for a few days. It’s not like anything could have happened."
Anna silently put down her teacup.
Now I really can’t say anything. On the very first day in the capital...
"Hmph, all of Anna Senpai’s firsts belong to me!" Louise suddenly became smug. "You’ll just have to step aside!"
"...Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Watching Helga nod along while trying to stifle her laughter without Louise noticing, and seeing Atala indifferently eating sweets in contrast, Anna could only turn her head away.
Oh no, why do I feel so guilty now?
