Life with a Zero (Familiar Of Zero fanfic)

Chapter 7

[A week has passed, but it feels like I've been here for more than a year... I wanna go home, I wanna go on the internet, I wanna play Minecraft... Computer--san I promise I won't put shaders] As I was about to cry, I felt a few rays of sunlight hit me, so I knew it was time to get up.

My so-called bed was still on the floor. Thankfully Siesta got some hay from the stables to make the place softer, and with the single sheet that Louise gave me placed on it, so the hay doesn't poke me. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like a bird's nest, but whatever. After waking up, I had to wake "Madame Louise," or I would be denied breakfast. "A stupid familiar that has to be woken by its master needs to be punished," she told me when I slept in one time. Which I honestly call bullshit.

Once woken up, Louise got changed. She would put on her underwear by herself, but I had to help her put on her uniform. The first few days doing this got me blushing hard, but because of how much she criticizes me, it began to not get me as excited.

Getting to see Louise like this every day wasn't all bad. However, it was a persistent wound to my pride, which I didn't even know existed. Like when I helped Louise into her shoes, I couldn't hide the irritation from my face. At least she tolerated that much, but if I ever said anything to piss Louise off, things became more annoying.

"A rude familiar that displeases its master this early in the morning needs to be punished," was another thing she would say. So if I end up making a comment about her figure or not do an order I was told to do, I would be denied breakfast.

After putting on her uniform, I had to 'help' Louise wash her face and brush her teeth. Because the room didn't have the revolutionary technology called plumbing, I had to go down to the fountain and carry a bucket of water back.

A funny thing happened one day; As I was wiping Louise's face with a towel, I had purposely traced a piece of charcoal I found. I was able to put on a good poker face as I continued to push this little prank. I politely bowed my head and said.

"Mistress, You are the epitome of beauty this day."

"... Are you plotting something?" Louise managed a sleepy reply.

"WWWHHAAT? I am simply a familiar serving the orders of my mistress. I would not dare to plot!" I said sarcastically.

[Good job me, she probably is now suspicious of me, quick think of something that will make her not skeptical of me.....uh.... um]

"RED LOOKING KINDA SUS!"

[genius]

It was probably because of the fact that it was early in the morning and her almost being late for class. Not my fantastic acting skills that she stopped asking questions.

Heading to class, with how late she was, she didn't encounter anyone in the hallways or stairs. But as she opened the door to the classroom, her classmates took one glance and exploded with laughter.

"Hey, looking good, Louise!" "Oh my god! That's so you!"

They said, but with how much they made fun of her, she ignored them.

It was only when Mister Colbert complimented the stylish glasses and mustache sketched on her face that she went berserk. Almost kicking the door down, she found me on the hallway floor, holding my stomach as he rolled on the floor in hysterical laughter. She slapped me a dozen times and cut my meals for the entire day.

According to Louise, a familiar that treated its master's face like a piece of canvas; was akin to the demons of old that opposed the Founder Brimir and his many allied gods. And such demons were not worthy of the bread and soup granted by the Lady Queen.
