0123mLouise the ZeroDespite her lineage—a renowned family of magic users—Louise had never managed to cast a single spell. And so, on the day of her familiar summoning exam, she utterly botched the ritual. Instead of a creature of magic, she conjured a human: Saito Hiraga, an ordinary high school student from Earth. The unfortunate young man found himself the recipient of her magical blunder.Jul 3, 20067.6Jul 3, 200623m7.60223mThe Commoner FamiliarSaito found himself navigating a strange new reality: the familiar of a lady he had come to know as Louise. Unaccustomed to the haughty airs of nobility, he retaliated against Guiche's arrogance by revealing the nobleman’s duplicitous nature, an act born of personal resentment. This, naturally, drew a challenge. Despite suffering grievous magical wounds at Guiche's hand, Saito refused to yield. Impressed by his defiance, Guiche offered him a sword, a desperate attempt to level the odds. As SaitoJul 10, 20068.2Jul 10, 200623m8.20323mThe Subtle Heat's AllureHis recent victory over Guiche had begun to stir a murmur of recognition amongst the common folk and even some nobles. Indeed, Kirche had taken a particular interest, declaring him her next romantic pursuit. She embarked on a calculated attempt to ensnare him, though her efforts were thwarted when Louise discovered her intentions. Annoyed by Saito's apparent lack of self-preservation, Louise dragged him away to acquire a sword, sensing untapped potential within him. Kirche, however, refused toJul 17, 20068.6Jul 17, 200623m8.60423mThe Maid's CrisisThe nobles' callous disregard for commoners stirred a deep unease within Saito. He resolved to intervene, but his efforts proved futile. As he faced the nobleman in defiance, Louise and their companions arrived, intervening just in time to save him from certain death. In a gesture of amends, Kirche offered her family's most prized possession, hoping to restore Siesta to her rightful place. Before departing the manor, Saito caught a glimpse of this treasure, only to be utterly bewildered by its tJul 24, 20067.0Jul 24, 200623m7.00523mThe Princess of TristainThe day of the festival loomed, heavy with expectation. Saito felt ill-prepared, his offerings lacking. The Princess herself would be present, adding an unbearable weight to the occasion. As twilight deepened, despair began to creep in; he could offer nothing worthy of praise. Then, a figure emerged from the shadows – Princess Henrietta, and the circumstances of her connection to Louise were revealed. The following day, Saito attempted a presentation, but Louise abruptly pulled him from theJul 31, 20066.8Jul 31, 200623m6.80623mThe Thief's True IdentityLouise, determined to clear her name from the shadow of Fouquet’s theft, volunteered to hunt him down. Accompanied by Kirche, Tabitha, and Saito, she journeyed to the last known location of the disgraced financier and Longueville. There, they unearthed the hidden chamber of the Staff of Destruction, only to be confronted by Fouquet's golem. As Louise attempted to meet the creature head-on with a spell, she was nearly overwhelmed. Only Saito’s swift intervention saved her from certain destructionAug 7, 20068.0Aug 7, 200623m8.00723mLouise's Part-Time JobHenrietta sought out Louise and Saito, tasking them with an undercover investigation. She wished to know if the nobility were exploiting the common folk. Their mission: to uncover any such abuses. Louise, however, squandered the mission funds on gambling, dreaming of a luxurious hotel stay. Refusing further funding, she found herself working as a waitress in a local bar. Unaccustomed to the rough-and-tumble life of the commoners, her fiery temper proved a hindrance; she earned no tips.

Angered by Guiche’s persistent flirtations, Montmorency concocts a love potion, devising a scheme to have Guiche ingest it. Meanwhile, Saito salvages a discarded pot, transforming it into a makeshift hot tub reminiscent of those in Japan. Soaking in it one night, Siesta happens by and, much to Saito's chagrin, joins him. Louise, witnessing this, becomes so exasperatedAug 21, 20067.2Aug 21, 200623m7.20923mLouise's Change Of HeartThe persistent affections of Louise proved increasingly unsettling to Saito. In desperation, he implored Montmorency to concoct an antidote. She refused, citing the illegality of such a potion and threatening to report him should he persist. The remedy, it was known, required the tears of a water elemental. Thus, Montmorency led Saito and Louise to Lake Lagdorian, where they encountered Kirche, Tabitha, and a fresh complication.Aug 28, 20067.5Aug 28, 200623m7.51023mThe Princess' RequestA new predicament unfolded for Princess Henrietta: she was to be wed to the Emperor of Germania, a strategic alliance intended to bolster her smaller kingdom with greater strength. This arrangement hinged upon a single letter, one she had sent to the Prince of Wales of Albion. Its public exposure would render the marriage impossible. With Albion embroiled in civil war, Henrietta herself could not reach the prince. Thus, Louise was dispatched with a missive to Prince Wales, requesting the letter'Sep 4, 20064.8Sep 4, 200623m4.81123mLouise's MarriageThey found themselves alone within the quiet church, the only occupants besides the Prince. After their discussion concluded, Wardes proposed to Louise that they be married immediately. She recoiled at the suggestion, attempting to decline, but a swift intervention by one of Wardes' associates altered her resolve. A ring, subtly imbued with mind-altering power, forced her compliance. With the Prince officiating, the ceremony progressed, nearing completion, when Saito burst into the sanctuary.

It was, in fact, a Mitsubishi Zero-sen, a fighter plane from World War II. They carefully transported it back to the school. Earlier, Colbert had mentioned an individual who had flown another aircraft during the solar eclipse and then vanished. Saito mused that this person had likely returned home, and this represented his own opportunity to do the same.Sep 18, 20067.2Sep 18, 200623m7.21323mLouise of the VoidThe world tilted on its axis, a silent prelude to the unfolding chaos. As the sun was eclipsed, a different kind of invasion began – a desperate gamble for homecoming.
