She tells him that she is afraid he will leave again, especially with the disappearance of the runes. He reassures he will not leave despite the absence of their contract.

August 31, 2008 |
| The Ondine Knights are searching for evidences when a nude girl drops from the sky onto Malicorne, then she hugs Saito. Louise sends Saito to the ground with a kick in the groin; she then asks the girl why she is naked. The girl introduces herself as Illococoo. She talks about saving her older sister, soon revealed to be Tabitha. Illococoo describes how Tabitha was taken as a traitor and stripped of her chevalier title and how Tabitha's mother was also arrested. Tabitha tried to save her mother, but was captured in the process. When Illococoo asks for help, Malicorne and Saito volunteer promptly, but the others doubt her status as Tabitha's younger sister (Tabitha is pretty flat-chested and Illococoo has large breasts). Illococoo thinks about obtaining proof and rushes out the door. The Ondine Knights rush out as well, only to find that Illococoo has vanished. Not long after, Sylphid appears and testifys for Illococoo. Saito, Guiche, Malicorne, and Louise go to Henrietta to ask for permission to go and rescue Tabitha in Gallia, which she denies on the grounds that as her personal knights, if Tabitha is rescued by the Ondine Knights, as she is still considered a criminal, the rescue could be perceived as an act of aggression on Tristan's part. In response, Saito, Guiche, and Malicorne resign as knights in order not to trouble Tristan, and Henrietta responds by having them arrested. Illococoo warns the others about them getting arrested. Louise asks Henrietta what she thinks of Saito as a man not a chevalier, and Henrietta admits that she is not sure if she has fallen for Saito or simply needs someone to lean on. Louise declares she will help Tabitha as she renounces her nobility. Henrietta has no choice but to arrest her too. After trying, unsuccessfully, to dig their way out of the prison with spoons, the four prisoners are rescued by Kirche and Colbert. Derflinger force Illococoo to reveal that she is really Sylphid, a nature dragon that can assume human form. | |||

Scarron provides disguises for them, while Colbert, Seista, Gimili, and Reynard proceed to liberate the Ostland. Siesta shows doubts at first of not having any powers but is encouraged by Saito that she could still help. She hugs him so Louise kicks him in the groin from behind. In Gallia, Joseph and Sheffield uncover a massive object, which Joseph calls Jormungand, covered with pulsing veins with a single large eye. Posing as a traveling circus, Saito and company cross the border, while Louise broods over no longer being an aristocrat, realising she only has Saito left. Back at the castle, using Siesta as a distraction, Gimili and Reynard take out two guards and they board the Ostland, after dispatching two more groups of guards. Colbert quickly fires up the Ostland, eventually ripping it free of the chains. Agnes falls for the ploy, ordering guards to watch the Germinia border. Louise sprains her ankle, and Saito tells her to rely on him, carrying her on his back. She wonders how Saito can be so strong, despite being alone in this world. The Ostland is eventually stopped by Tristan dragon knights, and Agnes nearly kills Colbert upon seeing him. Meanwhile, Saito and the gang arrive in Gallia. | |||

Under the pretext of having a show, they plan to make the soldiers drink alcohol laced with sleeping potion.

Kirche reveals that she knows the Louise is a Void mage, and apologises for her past behavior, and invites her over to Germania.

Derflinger tells Louise to cast Dispel on him, which she does, allowing Saito to break through Bidashal's Counter.

September 21, 2008 |

Saito finds Tabitha reading a book in the forest, and she began to teach him the words, but Louise interrupts, telling Saito that she can no longer use magic. Tabitha says that she will protect Saito since Louise is unable to do so. In Tristan, Henrietta dispatches the Ostland and Colbert to rendezvous with Saito, carrying a type of cannon which seems to be a German FlaK 36, and Agnes offers the assistance of the Musketeer Force. Saito, under Tabitha's guidance, learns to read quickly, while Louise broods over her inability to cast magic. Overhearing Tabitha telling Saito that under the influence of Gandalfr, the heart will experience changes, Louise wonders if Saito loves her because of Gandalfr's influence. Just before crossing the border, a Square-class golem, with Sheffield on its shoulder, lands in front of the carriage and blocking off the route into Tristan. Illococoo and Tabitha take to the air, in order to lead Sheffield away. Saito realises her objective is Louise, but Louise jumps out of the carriage and gets caught. Guiche, Kirche, and Tabitha's attacks prove ineffective against the golem. Saito's attacks are easily stopped by Counter, and Louise decides to sacrifice herself for her friends. Saito leaps to attack the golem again, releases Louise, and Slyphid saves them in time. Colbert has unloaded the cannon, which Saito examines using his powers. He quickly fires at the golem, but is stopped by Counter. Colbert, Kirche, and Malicorne unleash their most powerful spells, and manage to stop its advance. Derflinger tells Saito that Dispel needs to be cast onto the shells, and Louise refuses, saying she can't do it. Tabitha then kisses Saito, eliciting feelings of intense jealousy in Louise, causing her Void powers to be activated again. Louise casts Dispel on the ammunition, which successfully pierces the Counter and destroys the golem. On the Ostland, Louise awakens to see Saito; he hugs her, saying he does not love her just because he is Gandalfr. Then they looked at each other and kissed. Back in Tristan, Louise kneels before the Queen, awaiting punishment for defying her. Henrietta awards her the royal mantle, declaring that Louise is now her sister and second successor to the throne, as well as returning Saito, Malicorne, and Guiche their chevalier cloak reinstating their noble status. She then welcomes Tabitha as Princess Charlotte back to Tristan. The ending credits show when Louise tries to explode Saito when she sees Tabitha holding onto Saito, Sylphid grabs Saito and escapes with Tabitha. |
