Louise...
Saito...
S-Stop... staring so much.
You idiot!
Y-You dog!
Sorry.
Don't apologize.
You finally come back, and what's this?
It's wrong to look at your master with those kind of eyes.
I'm sorry! I can't hold it in anymore!
I-It's still light!
Th...
Then, when it gets dark?
A-After asking the primogenitor, Burimill, and Mother.
Louise...
Saito...
Good morning!
How long do you two intend to sleep?
H-Hi! Good morning, Siesta!
I wasn't doing anything.
I didn't ask anything.
What?
You... Your hand...
My hand?
The rune is fading!
No way.
Now, as you all know, with the Galia Kingdom playing a part in the war,
the Albion army surrendered, putting an end to the eight-month war.
Students. The peace we have now is a result of countless sacrifices.
Let us give prayer to those who have given their lives for this country.
Why? Why?
A moment of silence.
For the rune to be gone, does that mean he's not my familiar anymore?
What's wrong? Did you eat something to upset your stomach?
Be quiet. Leave me alone.
What's with that attitude when I'm actually worried about you?
Okay.
Next is regarding our plan for classes.
First-years will go through basic spell...
It's really gone.
Hey, Delf. Will it ever come back?
I'm not sure.
But partner, doesn't this take a load off your shoulders?
You don't have to get yelled at by that aristocrat girl anymore.
You're a free man.
Oh yeah.
You're right.
I should be happy, right?
Yeah. There's nothing to be sad about.
Saito-san.
I am glad to see you are well.
It's been a while, um...
I'm glad to see you're doing well, too, Cattleya-san.
You, too, Eleonore-san.
Forget it!
We're just here to get Louise.
WHAT?!
The rune's gone?!
Hey, not so loud.
Seriously?
It disappeared?
See? Everyone heard.
But why? Why did it disappear?
So Saito is a plain plebeian now.
But isn't it strange? There must be a reason.
Don't know. Unheard of.
Could such thing happen?
Wasn't a contract with a familiar a lifelong thing?
Is it something that can disappear that easily?
Louise.
We're going home.
The war's over, so you need a respite.
Eleonore Nee-sama.
If you need a familiar, just summon another that is more suitable for a Valliere.
Onee-sama!
First of all, I hate that plebeian's dog-like vulgar face!
But he is my dog.
I like him.
You're attached to this familiar that much?
Th-That's none of your concern.
What did you just say to me?
I'm sorry.
Eleonore Nee-sama...
Does my opinion matter?
I'm sorry when you're occupied.
I, Agnes, captain of the Musketeer Force, am here to convey the words of the Queen.
Louise Francoise Lu Blan de La Valliere.
And her familiar, Hiraga Saito.
Report to the castle at once.
The Princess?
Hey, Louise.
Make up your mind.
If you don't want to be with me, just say so.
I won't stop you.
You're free.
What is this all of a sudden?
Well you are!
If the rune's gone, it means your contract as my familiar is over!
So there's nothing that ties us together!
You don't like being bossed around by a master like me, do you?
What are you saying?
Do as you like.
You belong to a different world to begin with.
You don't have to be with me.
I'm asking you, where is this talk coming from?!
What do you think I went through to come back to you?
And now you tell me to do whatever I like?
Aristocrats are really cold, eh?
I never said that!
The same goes for you! You don't understand a thing about how I feel!
I was just being considerate of you!
Let's take a short break.
Louise.
Don't wander off too far.
Hey, Louise.
What? Do you need something?
Not really, but...
If you don't, then don't talk to me.
I want to be alone!
Fine! Suit yourself!
What am I doing?
Why am I so worked up over one familiar?
So what if he's not my familiar anymore?
I just have to summon another one.
Like Nee-sama said, summon another one more appropriate for a Valliere.
Even if he's not my familiar, would he choose to be with me?
Or...
This is frustrating!
Why do I have to go through all of this?
Thanks.
Alby? What is it doing here?
Nice to meet you, Miss Valliere.
You, who wields the great Void Magic.
Who are you!
Coward! Identify yourself!
I suppose. Call me Sheffield.
Don't play with me!
I wouldn't.
My doll stabbing you would be faster than you chanting a spell.
I'm here to fetch you.
My master is seeking a cute mage.
Will you come with me?
Don't mess around with me!
Please, notice me, Saito.
Loiuse!
Too bad. I have the ability to control every magic item in existence.
It's useless.
I know you very well.
Why are you after me?!
What do you want with me?!
First, you're not the only Void mage.
The same applies to the familiar.
Do you want to know more?
I'm Myoznitoneil.
Th-That's...
I'm called the Brain of God.
As you've guessed, I'm a Void mage's familiar.
The familiar of a very noble man.
Where is your familiar?
Taking a nap somewhere, perhaps?
Or maybe he left you?
How do you...
Guess.
That's enough talk.
Saito!
I'll buy you time.
You start chanting the void magic.
B-But you're no longer...
No longer your familiar nor Gandalfr, you want to say?
So what?
It's only natural for a man to protect the girl he likes.
Just leave your life in my hands!
Hey, Delf. I just said all that, but I'm-
Duck!
I'm just an ordinary human!
Lift your left leg!
Have some confidence! You've stalled an army of seventy thousand!
But back then, I was-
Right! Parry!
Who's the one who said to leave a life in his hands?
Ul Slis Ans
Louise...
So what about the contract.
I said I would protect Louise!
I'm here to assist!
That boy shouldn't be her familiar anymore.
Yet why?
Myoznitoneil.
Retreat for now.
Joseph-sama?
We don't have all the pieces we need yet.
To enjoy the game, we need all the necessary pieces.
I trust you will do this correctly.
Nousis Heilos Iala
As you wish.
Elpeo Eol
Your words are law.
Y's!
Good job, Louise!
You stupid dog!
You have to stay right by me!
You can't go wandering off...
I'm sorry.
B-But...
Thank you for saving me.
Reporting back, Ma'am!
There's nothing here.
Louise. Saito-san.
Princess, what happened here?
The war caused my room to empty.
I sold all the furniture to support the war, even a little.
Even you went through such a sacrifice?
This is nothing. I was about to lose you instead.
Not only did I try to take advantage of your strength, I was about to kill you.
I do not know how to apologize.
Princess, please don't mind it.
Thank you, Louise.
Saito-san.
No matter how many times I thank you, it wouldn't be enough to express my appreciation.
W-Well, it's just how things went.
You're the hero who saved this Trysting.
A piece of paper?
That admits you to be a Chevallier. A letter of appointment to be my knight.
A letter of appointment?
A hero deserves an honor befitting the deed.
You will accept it, won't you, Saito-san?
To be honest, I have no clue what this means.
It means you'll become an aristocrat!
A-A-Aristocrat?
I can't accept it.
Right now, I'm an ordinary human without any power.
I'm not sure even if I can protect Louise alone.
I don't think I can take the role of Chevallier.
What do you mean?
The rune's gone, right?
It completely disappeared.
Along with Gandalfr's power.
His heart stopped once in that war.
I'm guessing the contract was nullified then.
Then how did you come back to life?
Well... I was saved by a fairy.
She had a magic ring on her finger.
That ring resurrected him.
That's what happened in a nutshell.
Could Resurrection really exist?
What is the fairy's name?
Where does she live?
In Albion Kingdom, South Gotha province, village of West Wood.
Tiffania!
Tiffania? That is a new name.
Agnes.
Go to the village and find Tiffania-san.
Ma'am!
Wait.
It'd be easier if I went.
What's the point of you going when you no longer have the power of the rune.
Yeah. What do you plan on doing if you get attacked again?
"Attacked"?
Explain this to me!
Well...
Another Void mage and his familiar, eh?
Since I'm no longer a familiar, this all might mean nothing to me now.
He's leaving...
No...
Saito!
Saito?
Louise. What's wrong?
Saito...
Stupid.
Huh? Did you say something?
You'll catch a cold like that!
Come on, let's go inside.
Shut up. Leave me alone.
Don't be so stubborn.
You're shivering.
Who cares. You're the one who left me alone.
Come on now, let's go.
Louise?
I...
"I"?
I... I...
"Aye aye"?
I thought I couldn't see you again!
I had so many things I want to tell you, but you keep disappearing!
You weren't there when I woke up on the ship...
You weren't there when I woke up in bed at school...
I can't forgive you...
I can't forgive you at all.
You're so mean.
I thought you'd left without telling me again.
Louise...
Don't cry.
Don't go anywhere.
I won't.
Really?
Yeah.
I won't go anywhere, anymore.
Stay... Stay by me.
Yeah.
I don't care if you're not my familiar...
I don't care if you don't have Gandalfr's power...
Saito?
I'm confused.
If that's really all right or not.
What good am I if I can't protect you in an emergency?
Saito?
Hey, Louse. Is it possible to perform the contract again?
That whatever ceremony.
You mean, Summon Servant?
I've never heard of it being done before.
I don't have a clue what may happen.
What.. What if another familiar shows up?
What if you get sent to a place you don't know?
I can't handle that!
We'll deal with it when it happens.
In fact, that won't even happen.
I came to this world to be your familiar, didn't I?
Oh, I get it. The contract is important on its own, but what's important isn't that, but...
What?
Simply a man and a woman is enough, right?
You love me, and I love you.
What do we need more than that?
W-W-W-Wait! I never said I love you!
We promised this morning, didn't we?
When night falls...
Th-Th-Th-That's...
Let's go to bed.
I-I-I-I said wait!
No, I won't.
Wait! Th-Th-The sun is about to rise, too!
But it's still night.
I haven't done my prayers yet.
It can wait.
I-I said...
Wait you stupid dog!
Why are you like that?
Stay there and cool your head until morning comes.
We promised though...
Dog! I mean, lowly creature!
Water flea!
Hurry up or else we're leaving you!
Yes, coming!
Wait, water flea?
You... You suffice as a water flea!
Also, I'll have you keep up by running.
Y-You've got to be kidding me! Let me on!
I mean, please met me on!
I beg you!
Sigh...
It's impossible.
But...
You! Tell me what exactly you were doing behind my back!
Zero no Tsukaima. Princess no Rondo. Fairy in the Forest.
What? Even water fleas have souls?
I won't forgive you if you look away.
