23mThe Familiar's MarkThey were on a castle excursion when Sheffield attacked, revealing himself as the familiar of an unseen Void mage known only as "Master Joseph." Upon reaching the castle, Saito received a decree from the princess, granting him knighthood and noble status. He refused it, arguing he couldn't protect her and Louise without the contract of a familiar.
He explained the vanishing runes were connected to an elf named Tiffania. Derflinger directed them to her location, and soon Saito and Louise prepJul 7, 20086.0Jul 7, 200823m6.002
23mThe Elf of the ForestThey journeyed towards the village where Tiffannia resided, and along the way encountered Siesta, laden with provisions. That evening, as they shared a meal, Louise found herself in yet another altercation with Saito, ultimately departing in a huff. Agnes, occupied with crafting a wooden sword, requested that Saito offer her some instruction. The following morning, while traveling, Saito spotted Tiffannia and gave chase.

23mThe Return of the HeroTiffania, while presenting herself to the Queen, was compelled to lower her hat, revealing a pair of long, pointed elf ears. Elves were generally avoided by polite society, and she explained that she was, in truth, a half-elf. Her mother had been an elf who had passed away years prior, and her father was the Archduke of Albion and Henrietta’s uncle.
As the Queen, Saito, Louise, Agnes, and Tiffania discussed the location of the remaining void users, Henrietta offered to bestow another knighthJul 21, 20089.0Jul 21, 200823m9.004
23mThe Rumored Accepted StudentHe found himself increasingly distant from Louise, the demands of his duties with the Knights of Ordine consuming much of his time. This only served to rekindle her jealousy. The situation deteriorated further with the arrival of Tiffania, a new student at the academy.
Beatrice, a student of noble birth, took an immediate disliking to Tiffania, particularly when the newcomer refused to remove her hat. After a brief exchange, Tiffania chose to reveal her true heritage as a half-elf. Beatrice,Jul 28, 20089.0Jul 28, 200823m9.005
23mThe Alluring Women's BathForced to his knees in his boxers, Saito was compelled to read aloud and sign a declaration admitting to impropriety with Tiffania in the infirmary. He refused to sign, insisting she had initiated the encounter, and departed. He sought refuge in Professor Colbert's study, recalling the teacher’s wistful desire to visit Saito’s world. Soon, he drifted into a doze, awakened only by a blow to the head. His gaze then fell upon a collection of gifts accumulating for Guiche and Reynald. Inquiring abouAug 4, 20089.0Aug 4, 200823m9.006
23mThe Taboo Magical PotionSiesta was urged by her uncle and cousin, Jessica, to pursue Saito with greater effort. Eventually, Jessica provided a love potion. After the credits rolled, the scene shifted to Saito and Louise’s room, where Siesta was cleaning and considering the potion's use. Louise entered, dragging a bound Saito behind her, sparking a heated argument between the two women regarding his care. Siesta, convinced she could provide better treatment, was granted an hour alone with him.

23mSlepnir Dance PartyDriven by a desire to win Saito's affections, Louise challenges him to a contest. If he can find her amidst the revelry of the Seipnir ball, she promises to relinquish her pursuit of him. Saito accepts, and Louise adds a condition: should he succeed, she will allow him to "continue what he started before."
As the ball draws near, Saito notices a dark shape soaring above the academy. Suspecting danger for Louise, he races towards the venue, quickly searching for her. He finds her on a balcony,Aug 18, 20089.0Aug 18, 200823m9.008
23mThe Eastern Pursuit!He had been spared by Tabitha just before his end. Drawing upon knowledge gleaned from the dragons’ plumage, he had constructed an airship powered by an advanced engine. Yet, Louise remained wary of what she had witnessed between Henrietta and Saito, and she sought the aid of Siesta and Tiffania to capture him. They intended to force a revelation, using magic to compel him to speak of the previous night's events.

23mTabitha's Younger SisterA ripple disturbed the air, and a nude figure descended from the heavens, landing with a soft thud upon Malicorne, mirroring the arrival of Louise in the opening scene. Louise, ever quick to act, kicked Saito, sending him sprawling, then demanded an explanation from the disoriented woman. “I am Irukukwu,” she declared, her voice earnest. She spoke of rescuing her older sister, a tale that piqued Guiche’s interest. It transpired that her sister was Tabitha, unjustly branded a traitor, strippedSep 1, 20087.0Sep 1, 200823m7.010
23mBorder Mountain PassSeeking refuge, Saito and his companions find sanctuary within the Charming Fairy Inn, as the hunt for them continues. A daring plan takes shape: to divert attention by using the Ostland as a decoy flight towards Germinia, while Saito crosses the border unhindered. Disguises are procured by Scarron, and Colbert, Seista, Gimli, and Reinard embark on the liberation of the Ostland.
Siesta, initially doubtful of her lack of power, finds renewed resolve in Saito's belief in her potential. A momenSep 8, 2008Sep 8, 200823m11
23mCaptive in AlhambraThey discovered Tabitha was being held in Al Hambra. Upon arrival, the group devised a plan. Under the guise of a performance, they would administer a sleeping draught to the soldiers through their drinks.
Kirche, finding herself without an assignment for Louise, grew frustrated and demanded a task. Kirche then revealed her knowledge of Louise's void magic and apologized for past dismissals, extending an invitation to Germania.
Later, Derflinger advised Saito to speak with Louise, explaiSep 15, 20086.0Sep 15, 200823m6.012
24mWings of FreedomThe forest air hung thick with unspoken dread. Louise stared at her hands, a chilling realization dawning – the magic was gone. A nightmare had stolen her ability, leaving her adrift in a world where she was powerless.
Saito found Tabitha absorbed in a book, patiently imparting words to him. But Louise’s voice sliced through the quiet. “I… I can’t use magic anymore.”
Tabitha offered a steadying presence. "I will protect him, since you are unable."
