Byleth-Sama: Love is War (Finale)

Original House Isekai AU

As Sara and Megumi train with those supporting them, Byleth gets to view this cold war from the sidelines, completely unaware of what's even going on...

And the day of the Ball is quickly approaching, who will win this war?

---

[Respite and Sunlight - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]

Byleth watched for the fifth time this week as Sara and Megumi glared daggers at each other, walking past without uttering a single word.

He wasn't the only one to have noticed this.

Towa and Angelica appeared to be very worried about how Sara was acting, while Cocytus was confused by their actions.

Normally the two were extremely friendly with one another, now they wouldn't even give them the time of day.

(Cocytus) "THERE THEY GO AGAIN."

(Towa) "Did a fight break out between them?"

(Byleth) "That's what I'm wondering. Everytime I go to ask a student, they just laugh or say nothing."

(Sharon) "Hm...what day is it?"

(Towa) "December 15th. Why?"

Doomguy looked at the calendar, then nodded his head and departed with a wave. It looked like he was in a hurry.

(Sharon) "Ah, that explains it. Tomorrow is the White Heron Cup."

(Byleth) "Huh? What does that have to do with anything?"

(Sharon) "Master Byleth, would you like to take a walk with me?"

Shrugging, Byleth followed along, hoping to get SOME kind of answer out of their quarrel.

Towa, Angelica, and Cocytus were left confused.

[The Forgotten - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]

The first place Sharon had taken Byleth was to Abyss.

(Byleth) "Why are we down here?"

Sharon kept her smile and gestured her head towards a crowd.

Byleth raised an eyebrow as he looked closely, seeing Sara move through the crowd and into the narrow hallways.

Sharon put a finger to her lips and quickly trailed Sara, Byleth doing the same.

Finally approaching a room, Sharon stopped Byleth from entering and stood politely next to the walls, overhearing the conversation.

...

(Sara) "Damn it, we still don't have any dresses?!"

(Kazuma) "Where exactly do you think we can find one in a few days? Not even Anna's stocks can come that fast!"

(Yuri) "Not sure why you're down here, it's not like we got anything fancy."

(Edelgard) "You're wearing makeup right now though, right?"

(Yuri) "...Alright fair, but the point is, we got nothing for a fine lady such as yourself."

(Rean) "I'm sure the outfit you picked out will be fine. The worst trouble you'll probably have is just to say no to every other guy that's going to be coming at you."

(Seteth) "It matters not, we have little time to waste."

(Sara) "Hm, I gotta be quick about it. Anywho, back to dance training! Take it from the top, Balthus!"

(Balthus) "You got it!"

...

(Byleth) "Sara's going to the ball? Didn't think she'd care about it besides teacher obligations."

(Sharon) "Well, it's not just Lady Sara."

(Byleth) "Megu-nee too, I'm assuming?"

(Sharon) "You should visit her in the Training Hall, that's where she'll be. If you excuse me, I must get things settled for tomorrow with Rise of the Investigation Team."

She bowed, and took her leave.

(Byleth) "...Sothis."

Sothis materialized next to him.

(Sothis) "Hello, child."

(Byleth) "Did you know about them fighting?"

(Sothis) "Only what you know."

He squinted his eyes at her in disbelief. There's no way with how many times she's floated to Kazuma and the others she'd know absolutely nothing.

(Sothis) "Well, I know they're planning a surprise for you."

(Byleth) "Surprise?"

(Sothis) "Yes, for the Ball. However it'd be a disservice to them if I announced it. Now come, we shall see what Megu-nee is doing."

She floated ahead, making Byleth shrug and follow her.

...

[Like a Dream Come True - Persona 4 OST]

(Rise) "Okay guys, that should be good!"

Rise shouted out to Kanji and Teddie who were busy decorating the walls with hanging ornaments and curtains.

Looking to her right, some of the students from House Isekai were preparing a stage for the music.

Darkness carried 4 crates of decor as if it were nothing, meanwhile behind her Bernadetta was struggling to pick up one.

(Bernadetta) "S-SO...HEAVY!"

(Caspar) "Geez, you gotta use your legs, Bernadetta, otherwise you'll throw out your back!"

Dorothea approached Rise, smiling.

(Dorothea) "The place looks good so far, Rise!"

(Rise) "Thanks, there's no way I could've gotten this done without your guys' help though!"

(Dorothea) "Happy to help out! I'm sure with you, me, and Manuela singing, there's no way anyone could resist us!"

(Rise) "Ooooh good point! Maybe I can ask Yu-senpai to the ball!"

(Dorothea) "You know if it doesn't work out, I'm always available.~"

(Naoto) "Pardon the interruption, but we could use more help over here."

(Ryuji) "Y-YEAH! SHIT'S KINDA HEAVY!"

The Phantom Thieves were busy setting up the wooden platforms for the stage.

Ann put down several chairs, clearly out of breath.

(Ann) "M-MAN...MEDIEVAL CONSTRUCTION SUCKS!"

(Akira) "It's...not great."

(Chie) "I think it helps build character! We gotta get stronger, right? So what better way than carrying these huge blocks of wood!"

(Yukiko) "I'm sure Akihiko-senpai would agree..."

(Yosuke) "Now that I think on it, where the heck are those guys? Shouldn't they be helping us out?"

Sharon entered the room and swiftly helped the Persona Users carry the chairs into the proper spots effortlessly.

(Sharon) "To answer your question, they are currently helping out some of the staff with final preparations. Ainz's group will be here shortly to add some magical effects."

(Rise) "Oh, sweet! I bet Aura and Mare could do something real pretty!"

(Yu) "Whew, thanks Sharon. You're a lifesaver."

Bowing, Sharon made her way to Rise.

(Sharon) "It's time we begin rehearsing, Lady Rise."

(Rise) "Gotcha! Dorothea, can you get Manuela?"

(Dorothea) "Sure thing, I'll be right back."

(Sharon) "And if I may ask something?"

(Rise) "Huh? What is it, Sharon?"

(Sharon) "We have a personal request from Lady Sara and Megu-nee for the ball tomorrow."

(Rise) "Is it related to Byleth-sensei?"

(Sharon) "It is."

(Rise) "Sure, let's hear it!"

Sharon leaned into Rise's ear and whispered.

(Rise) "Hm...Yeah, we can do that! We have any instruments here? I think I got an idea for what we can do!"

[Diablo Rojo - Rodrigo y Gabriela]

Byleth peeked into the training hall where Megumi was, alongside Doomguy, Dimitri, Minako, and the School-Living Club.

Byleth watched as Megumi tried her best to stay in rhythm with Doomguy's guitar skill.

Dimitri, Yuki, and Miki watched in amazement as Doomguy played an acoustic guitar with such precision and speed that it'd most likely stun anyone else watching.

The music he was playing seemed completely foreign to Byleth and Sothis.

Megumi was dancing with Yuuri as practice while Kurumi tapped her foot to the rhythm.

...

(Dimitri) "I wasn't aware he had such musical talent!"

(Yuki) "Mhm, Slayer is really cool!"

(Miki) "T-This is a ball right? This seems more like a Hispanic style song rather than classical.

Megumi and Yuuri twirled and kept their feet bouncing to the rhythm as Yuuri tried her best to guide her teacher.

(Kurumi) "It's pretty catchy! Besides with how many of us have been preparing to sing for the ball, we're bound to have some music choices to dance to that isn't normal here!"

(Yuki) "Ooh, think we can do disco! Futaba has her laptop so we can put it on the speakers!"

(Minako) "Oooh, yeah! Japanese disco has some good stuff we can all jam to!"

Doomguy shrugged as he kept playing, his beat getting faster.

(Megumi) "A-Am I really going to be dancing at this speed with Byleth?!"

(Yuuri) "Hah, I'm a bit more worried for the rest of the people who haven't heard this kind of music, Megu-nee!"

...

(Sothis) "Interesting choice of music! It sounds quite energetic."

(Byleth) "I've only heard something kind of close when I was younger."

(Sothis) "...Ah, the taverns Jeralt took you out to. I remember, how noisy it was."

(Byleth) "Wait, Megu-nee is training to dance with me?"

(Sothis) "So was Sara."

(Byleth) "Ah, I think I finally understand now."

(Sothis) "Do you?"

(Byleth) "Yeah. They're just training for the Ball in case if someone asks them. After all, Akira is representing us for the White Heron Cup, it'd look bad if all of us didn't try for the Ball either."

(Sothis) "...Sure, something like that."

(Byleth) "I should probably get ready myself for tomorrow."

(Sothis) "Hah, yes you should, Child. Yes you should."

...

Night of the Ball

[Night of the Ball - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]

When the night of the ball finally arrived after the White Heron Cup, House Isekai enjoyed their time partaking in it with the rest of the Houses.

The Phantom Thieves watched from the sidelines and congratulated Akira on the win, loading up on the free food.

Ainz's group attended wearing dresses suited to the ocassion, white dresses and suits, though they did not dance with anyone, Ainz was asked by Albedo, Shalltear, and the Pleiades.

As soon as the main orchestra finished, the Investigation Team got up on stage with Rise, ready to start the night with House special music, followed by the rest of the three Houses.

Class VII was mixed around everywhere, Elliot and Rean playing a little bit of music with a violin and guitar in a corner, with Emma and Alisa singing. Jusis, Laura, Fie, Crow, and Machias abstained from participating in anything. Millium was with Teddie.

The School-Living Club was trying their best to keep up with Yuki who went to everyone in the House, excitedly conversing with them.

Kazuma and Aqua were too busy drinking the wine while Darkness remained her best to remain vigilant and vehemently refuse anyone's request for dancing, though the only exception was Kazuma and Ashe. Megumin was bored out of her mind.

S.E.E.S felt awkward and stood with Ainz's group, not having ever participated in something like a ball before, with the exception of Mitsuru.

Finally, the staff was mingling among themselves with the rest of Garreg Mach's professors, with the sole exceptions of Sara and Megumi.

The two were glaring at each other at opposite sides of the room. As they kept staring, more and more of the houses began to notice, anticipating who would strike first.

(Megumi) "..."

(Sara) "..."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for either of them to step forward to Byleth was busy speaking to Jeralt.

(Byleth) ...? "What's with the them?"

(Jeralt) "Eh? Oh, that. Heh. Choose wisely, kid."

(Byleth) "What? Choose what?"

Jeralt laughed and pat him on the back, getting the message subtly and backing off and leaving him open.

Sara was the first one to move towards him, gently going through the crowd.

Megumi jumped into action and walked quickly through the food tables and made her way through the Blue Lions in order to reach her.

Sara's path was blocked by a drunk Aqua and Kazuma while Megumi's stride came to a halt from Ingrid, Raphael, Chie, Ann, Ryuji, and Minako devouring everything in sight.

Everyone was now anxious, seeing which one of their teachers would get there first.

(Sara) "I HAVE TO MAKE IT FIRST, OUTTA THE WAY YOU TWO!"

(Megumi) "P-Please excuse me, please move it!"

As soon as the two of them began to make their final approach, their hearts stopped.

Sharon had just stepped in front of Byleth.

(Sharon) "Master Byleth, would you care for a dance?"

(Kazuma) "Eh...EH?!"

(Aqua) "WHAT?!"

(Edelgard) "YOU WHAT?!"

(Rean) "Oh you have got to be kidding me."

(Seteth) "Well, looks like I just wasted my time."

Doomguy raised an eyebrow.

(Dimitri) "WHAT IN THE SEVEN HELLS?!"

(Minako) "There's ALWAYS A THIRD, GOD DAMN IT!"

(Yuki) "SHARON, NOOOOOO!-"

(Yuri) "Well good thing we didn't buy a dress."

(Byleth) "Sure."

Byleth took Sharon's hand as she went to the middle and began dancing with all the others, leaving Sara and Megumi in shock.

(Megumi) "W-Wha...but...!"

(Sara) "Son of a BITCH! I'M GONNA KILL THAT MAID!"

All of a sudden, Claude's laugh could be heard throughout the entire hall.

The students turned to him as he was keeling over laughing.

(Edelgard) "Don't tell me..."

(Dimitri) "You interfered, didn't you?!"

(Claude) "All I asked Sharon was make this dance interesting, hoho man! Didn't think she would do that!"

Minako grabbed Claude by the collar, with Kazuma and Aqua behind her.

(Minako) "MY EAR DRUMS GOT RUPTURED TO HELP MEGU-NEE OUT YOU SICK BASTARD!"

Doomguy began awkwardly whistling underneath his helmet.

(Kazuma) "THAT OUTFIT, THAT SUPER HOT OUTFIT I GOT FOR SARA, IT COST ME 3000 GOLD YOU ASSHOLE!"

While everyone began chastising Claude, Megumi and Sara were left next to each other, still in disbelief.

Until Megumi started laughing.

Sara turned to her, but then couldn't help but laugh herself.

It was kind of funny, they were trying so hard only to realize Byleth wouldn't have known about their intents unless they literally told him to his face.

(Megumi) "...S-Sara? I'm s-"

(Sara) "Nope, don't you DARE apologize. I was the one who started this whole thing anyway."

Sighing, half mockingly at herself but finally out of relief, Sara raised a hand to Megumi.

(Sara) "You were practicing hard too right? We can't let it go to waste after all."

(Megumi) "Hah, Sara would you like to dance with me?"

(Sara) "Sure thing, Megu-nee."

Sara took her hand and both of them joined the dance, alongside several other students and teachers as Rise began her song, with Yu at the mic as well.

(Rise) "Alright, one, two, one two three four!-"

[Love Dramatic - Love is War]

Sothis floated over to Doomguy and Coctyus, relaxing with the rest of the staff as she watched everyone dance.

(Sothis) "How anti-climatic..."

(Cocytus) "IS THAT WHAT THEY'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR ALL THIS WEEK? I'D LAUGH AT THE RESULT IF IT DIDN'T WORRY EVERYONE IN THE MONASTERY."

(Towa) "At least all's well that ends well, right Instructor Coctytus?"

(Angelica) "If that's what we can call it, if Sara doesn't murder Sharon."

Doomguy shrugged, mildly annoyed but equally amused.

(Sothis) "I suppose as long as everyone's happy."

(Cocytus) "AT LEAST SOME OF THEM ARE..."

Their attention turned back to Claude who now had a mob chasing after him.

But that was lost on Sara and Megumi who continued to dance while Byleth had been stolen by someone with a sick sense of humor who'd been spectating out of curiousity.

And Claude.
