Life with a Zero (Familiar Of Zero fanfic)

Chapter 8

The night after, Louise unceremoniously threw my pile of hay into the hallway.

"Um, what are you doing?" I asked.

"It would be a bother if I snuck into your bed again, right?"

"But, it's kind of cold outside the room with the wind blowing around," I said with a cracked voice.

"Well, no doubt I'll come and warm you in your dreams," said Louise, arching her shapely eyebrows.

What a bitter girl. She looked determined to make me sleep out in the hallway no matter what. I took my blanket and went out to the hallway. The moment I left the room, the door locked with a loud click. Wind surged in from the open window, making me shudder...

[That Bitch! Making me sleep outside in the cold just because I embarrassed her in front of the class wait no, that's a solid reason to do this but still!]

I then kicked Louise's door, but there was no response.

[Shit, well, at least I can-]

Checking my pockets, I found there to be no more scraps of paper.

[wellshit,]

The door to Kirche's room opened.

Her salamander Flame crawled out, with its burning tail transmitting a warm shine. We gazed at each other for some time.

The lizard shuffled closer to me, who got in a fighting pose.

"Wh-what do you want?" I tried to say confidently, but there clearly was fear in my voice

[Shit, against a human, I would win, but this thing can breathe fire at will, I don't even have anything to defend myself!]

"Kyurukyuru," it growled comfortingly.

It looked harmless, so I let my guard down. That was a mistake. It clamped its jaws on my sleeve, shaking its head as if asking him to follow it.

"Oi! Lizard, let go of-, hey watch your tail! It almost touched my blanket!" I yelled, trying to get it to release my sleeve only for it to pull harder

Kirche's door remained open.

[Is this Charmander trying to get me in there? But why?]

As I thought about the reason, I focused less on pulling myself away from the lizard and found myself being dragged into her room.

The room was pitch dark, save for Flame's mild glow. Kirche's voice commanded from the darkness,

"Close the door."

I obliged.

[Why did I listen?]

"Welcome to my room."

"It's pretty dark in here," I stated

I heard Kirche snap her fingers. Starting from the one closest to me. Lights lit up one by one towards Kirche like lights drifting over a road.

Drenched within the gentle gleam, Kirche sat on her bed, with a look of worry on her face. She was wearing attractive underwear, or rather, just plain underwear. One thing was for beyond any doubt: bolstered by her provocative bra, her full breasts were the size of cantaloupes.

"Don't just stand there. Come to me." Kirche cooed with her most captivating voice.

[Hm, Okay] I thought and walked towards her
