(Ilua's POV)

Those last three days have been really agitated. Since i defeated Guiche, wherever i walk the noble kids began to whisper between themselves and get out from my way. Did i became an intimidating figure? Well, that's fine, since it seems that Louise has been with an happy expression lately. We have an day off today, so she want's to go to the city to buy some things. I have no complains.

We walk to the stables that are near the gates of the academy that in the walls between the water and the void tower. There, we get two horses and ride them to the city that's about two hours away from here. After one hour riding the horses, Louise wants to take a break for the horses, since we aren't in a hurry. While we let the horses rest, Louise begin's to talk to me.

(Louise): "You really defeated Guiche..."

(Ilua): "I've face worst enemies. Guiche couldn't even be considered an enemy."

(Louise): "You're very confident, huh..."

(Ilua): "Well, i'm older then i look."

An akward silence. We don't know what to talk with each other, since everything we have talked about was her ordering me around. She's looking uncomfortable. Well, let's break this ice.

(Ilua): "Althought it's a bit late, i'll introduce myself again. My name is Ilua, i'm an wandering warrior, and now i am at your service as your familiar."

As i say that, i get up and kneel in one knee in front of her with my hand on my chest and lowering my head. She doesn't answer for a moment before talking.

(Louise): "My name os Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, third daughter of the Duke de La Vallière. I'm counting on you for now on."

(Ilua): "Certainly, Milady."

I said as i gently took her hand and kissed it lightly. Then, i got up and looked at her face, wich was slightly blushing. I helped her to mount her horse and then i mounted mine and we rode to the city. We let the horses on the stables of the city and walked around a bit. Everything that Louise bought i stored inside my fog. Now that i mentioned it, i should talk a bit about this fog.

In my world, it's called Death Fog. It was commonly used by strong creatures, such as dragons, demons and divinties. Well, i'm probably the only one that can freely manipulate it. Mostly, it was used by strong beings to trap their enemies and prevent them from escaping. One exemple would be the taurus demon. Once, one of them was able to go from Lost Izalith to the bridge of the undead burg that was between two towers.

His power was greater than a common taurus demon, so he naturally formed Fog Gates on the exits of the place, allowing anyone to enter, but not geting out no metter what. I could only get out after i killed it. After a long time, i became strong enought to generate it, and after a long, long time, i learned to manipulate it and use it as i please.

I learned a variety of tricks with it, but that's a metter for another time. We walked for some time until Louise said that she wanted to go inside an wepon shopto buy an dagger for herself. Well, i could give her an dagger from my colection, but i want to take a look at the wepons of this world. We enter an small wepon shop.

The guy from the counter, seeing Louise's uniform, immediately trat us as respected guests. She then says that she want's an dagger for self-defense. The shopkeeper takes her to the counter to show her some daggers. I don't follow her, since there's something bothering me. I walk around the shop a bit until i stop in front of a barrel that filled with old and rusty wepons.

It's the first time that i see such negligence with wepons... in my former world, you could only find rusty or broken wepons in the hands of the hollows. Every inteligent being took good care of their wepons, since they are vital for you. What a shame. Well, it isn't the negligence that calls my attention, i't only one of the swords.

In those last days, i notice those marking on my hand, and i felt some energy coming from them all the time, althought it isn't something that's harming me. I can feel it nuturing my body little by little. And now, i can feel an reaction coming from it to one of those swords. Is it... this one?

I grab the hilt of the sword. !!! So it's like that... i see. Well, i don't want to bother Louise in buying this sword, and i also don't need it, i just need what's inside it. I focus a bit and absorb it inside the runes in my hand. After so much time manipulating soulforce, i learned how to manipulate weak souls. Using sorcery and hexes, i was able to infuse souls with wepons, something fairly easy.

It's the same to extract them. Well, after some time, i noticed that in this world, souls are weaker, to the point that you can't take them when you defeat youy enemy. Well, it seems that someone infused an soul to an wepon in this world as well. Anyway, after i was done, i looked at Louise and the shopkeeper. He was trying selling an cheap dagger to her for a high price. Humpf, how troublesome.

(Ilua): "Louise, don't buy it."

(Shopkeeper): "Wha-?!"

(Louise): "? Why?"

(Ilua): "Althought the price is high, the dagger is completely cheap, with the worst materials and it's clearly dull. I have better ones that i can give you, you don't need to spent you money like this."

(Louise): "Oh, i see... the guards will be surely happy to know about this. Let's go, Ilua, we are going back home."

She said as she turned away and walked out of the shop. I also walked out, ignoring the angry shopkeeper. We walked back to the stables and roda back to the academy. After that, i followed Louise around as she studied and i stood guard. It looks like she quite liked my attitude. Later, at night, when she was sleeping, i opened the window and jumped off.

I fell on the grass without making any sound. Then, i sat on the ground and leaned on the tower and took off my right glove, revealing my hand that has some thin scars and where the runes rest. Then, i foucus on it, making they glow in a soft blue.

(???): "To imagine that i would meet an Gandalfr that is able to manipulate souls with so much ease."

I smiled lightly.

(Ilua): "It's nice to meet you too, my name is Ilua, and yours?"

(Derflinger): "My name is Derflinger, it's nice to meet you, Gandalfr Ilua."

(Ilua): "Derfflinter... Derffginger... Whys is your name so hard to say?!"

(Derflinger): "Well, now that you took me out of my blade, you can give me a new name if you want, since Derflinger was the name bestowed to my last vassel."

(Ilua): "Well, in that case, i'll name you after the smaller blade that i usually use, Ubadachi."

(Ubadachi): "Ubadachi?"

(Ilua): "Yeah, it means "Disconnection", and it's paired with my main sword, Onikiri, wich means "Demon Cutter"."

(Ubadachi): "Althought i understand that you want to name me after your main wepons, but why not the main blade instead with it's pair?"

(Ilua): "Because Onikiri is a demon sword, so old that i doubt that there is any kind of wepon older then her. Also, she was drowned in so much blood and hatred that she became an Demon Sword."

(Ubadachi): "...Somehow, i feel that you are different from the normal... barely even human..."

(Ilua): "Oh, my child, one thing that i can assure you, i'm far, far different from anything that you have seen in your life. Actually, i'll transfer my memories to you right now, so be ready..."

(Ubadachi): "Yes..."

And then, i channel power trought my soul and then i copy all my memories and transfer them to Ubadachi. I can clearly feel that's he's shocked right now, kukuku~.
