The ground turns white as I approach, at least in theory, given that I arrive at the shrine in one step, more precisely in the Roswaal mansion.  I notice that Frédérica and Garfiel have already gone to help at the manor.  As promised, Otto stays with her;  good game !

"Good evening you three! Rem and Ram need some rest, and so does Beatrice!"

Rem, Rem, and Beatrice are resting in the room where I drop them off.  Then I come out of there when Emilia snuggles up against me, stuck like a leech.  Hehehe, deep down, it doesn't bother me at all!  Her hands caress my body so well that we go to my room where she and I rest.

It is dark, so that I cannot talk about what happened in Roswaal.  If we count... Oh yes, I'm too sleepy.  So I close my eyes and sleep...

" He is awake ?"  Daphne asks casually.

"No, he's sleeping." Echidna checks my condition and my pulse.

"Even here? He must be really tired then..." Minerva crosses her arms her face being close to mine "What an idiot! I tell him though that he needs to take it easy!"

“Maybe he wanted to take a little nap…” Sekmeth yawns.

"Or food. He's like Kurohebi after all" Daphne drools.

“Big Brother Ilu hasn’t changed.”  Typhon affirms it, pulling more on my cheeks.

"Louis...He's full of love now." Carmilla whispers.



Where am I?  Now that I think about it, it's the castle of dreams.  This time, instead of only seeing Echidna, I face everyone except Satella for the moment.

Carmilla, the Witch of Lust!

"Please Iluso! Don't look at me with hatred!"

Sekmeth, the witch of sloth!

"...Hello...Say, who are you exactly....Wow! Oh yes, it's you, Il!"

Daphne, the witch of gluttony!

"Hello Iluso! It's been a long time! Can't wait for me and everything to eat together again!"

"We could do it right after. But I'm going to have to spoon-feed you, okay?"

“Okay!”

Typhon, the witch of pride

"I'm glad to see you again, big brother Ilu! Your eyes are shining a lighter blue than before. You're progressing on the right path!"

"Yes, I won't forget what you told me, since the last time. And then, it's nice to see my little sister Nohpyht again!"

Minerva, the Witch of Wrath

“How many times do I tell you to sleep 12 hours a day and not stay in constant speed? You are an idiot, double idiot, triple idiot even!”

"Sorry! I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time. No, I'll be careful now! Yes now! I promise!"

“Hmpft, you better otherwise I’ll give you one!”

"Hehehe, okay! I promise to take care of me."

Echidna, the witch of avarice, and the one I most suspect of having brought me here, and it's not to share a meal with old friends.

Accounts will have to be settled.

“Friends, as planned, I invited Louis to come eat with us and chat. If you have something to tell him, it’s now!”

For the moment I let them talk among themselves and honestly;  what they tell each other sends shivers down the spine of any human.

“Hello, Louis. How are you?”  Daphne asks.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."  Louis responds.

"He didn't sleep much last night."  Echidna Comments.

"Louis is such an idiot! He doesn't know how to control his energy."  » Minerva said with a frown.

“I wonder what he was doing to get so tired.”  Daphne said with a smirk.

Typhoon laughs.  "Maybe Ilu was still playing with Emilia-Tan."

“Oh, so that’s it?”  » teases Echidna.

"By Od Lugna, will you stop? Anyway, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Well, I've seen Echidna three times but anyway" I look at Minerva angrily and start  to stutter “No, don’t get angry!”

Minerva rolls her eyes at Louis' stuttering.  "You're such an idiot! Why are you always in a hurry?"  She asks.

Typhon speaks.  "Don't be so hard on Iluso! Maybe it wasn't Emilia."

Echidna snickers under her breath.  She knows exactly what happened between Louis and Emilia last night.  "Come on, let's be adults here. We all know what Louis and Emilia did together last night, right? It's no secret."

"Echidna, this isn't something you talk about... You were spying on us... Unless Emilia told you?"

“Well, I might have peeked a little.”  Echidna admits it.

"Oh, come on! You were clearly spying on them."  Daphne said nonchalantly, with a smirk.

"But it's okay! I mean, Louis and Emilia are adults. They're free to do whatever they want. It's no big deal."  Minerva said, remaining indifferent to everything.

"We should have expected that much from Louis. He's such a pervert."  Typhon teases.

“Hey, I’m not Carmilla!”

“You’re much worse!”  Daphne retorts.

"Oh my God! Louis is even more perverted than Carmilla? Impossible!"  » proclaims Minerva.

Typhoon bursts out laughing.  "Louis, you are truly a monster. You have even surpassed your father in perversion, I never thought I would see that."

Echidna is also amused.  "I have to admit that Louis is quite a naughty boy. To think that I was so interested in him..."

They gave themselves the word to shoot me, it's not possible.  You might as well remain calm and then declare: “I am not a pervert, and neither is my father!”  »

“Louis, you really are a pervert!”  Daphne exclaims.

Minerva adds, "Why don't you just give up trying to deny it and accept your inner evil nature? That would save us a lot of time and energy."

Echidna interjects, "Indeed, Louis. You're not fooling anyone with your protests. Just admit that you're a pervert and move on. It's not like there's any shame in that. In fact,  many people consider perversion a virtue.”

Typhon adds, "You're like a drug addict who just can't help it. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"I'm not a pervert. I've never been a pervert and I'll never know."  My words are calm but the words are so heavy that a cemetery silence sets in.

“It’s cute, Louis.”  Daphne teases.

“We all know what you do in your room at night.”  adds Minerva.

Typhon comments, "I bet Emilia enjoyed it last night."

Echidna laughed, "Indeed she did. But that's not surprising. Any normal woman would be attracted to you, Louis. You are kind, intelligent, brave and extremely handsome. You would have to be an idiot to  not fall in love with you."

Minerva sighs.  “You make it look so easy, Echina.”

I sigh at the comments.  Hey, I notice that Sekmeth and Carmilla don't say a word.  Finally, I can understand their case.  Carmilla never finds love and her family abandons Sekmeth.  Even though I love witches, I feel sorry for them:

“Friends, someone to remind me that I’m your friend and vice versa? To everyone obviously!”

"Of course, Louis! We're all friends...except Satella though. I despise her with a passion."  Daphne said.

"We're friends, but don't get me wrong."  adds Minerva.  "We may be friends, but you're still a pervert."

Typhon adds, "Don't even think about falling asleep and expecting us to cuddle you in your bed."

Echidna laughs.  "I think you should rest, Louis. You look tired. Let's continue our little chat tomorrow, okay?"

"Typhon and Minerva, I never planned on putting you in my bed. Especially you Minerva. I'm not a pervert"

I stretch then go to rest under Echidna's advice.

“Of course, you keep telling yourself that.”  Daphne scoffs.

Typhon and Minerva laugh in agreement.

“Good night, Louis.”  » Echidna said softly.

Minerva adds, "Yes, sleep well. You're going to need it."

"Sweet Dreams!"  Daphne said with a smirk on her face.

I leave the castle of dreams then I return to reality with Emilia against me and the clock which has not moved.  Holy witches... I stroke Emilia's hair then I fall asleep whispering:

“Good luck everyone!”
