Saito! Come on, hurry! Hurry!
You don't have to rush so much.
Aquileia Bazaar is a popular market, so the good stuff goes fast.
I'm going on without you if you don't hurry.
Don't cry if you get lost.
But I'm a Void mage and have the world on my shoulders.
Louise, with that small body of yours...
...you're dealing with a lot of pressure, aren't you?
It's so beautiful.
I didn't ask you to buy it for me.
I'm getting paid as a knight, so it's nothing.
Though I can't get a real mansion...
A real mansion?
A mansion...
...for just the two of us...
I-It's nothing!
She's not honest, she's always jealous,
and sometimes more than a handful...
...but I need to protect her.
No matter what.
I'll be there for you

Onwards to a new world, go with me!
Go with me!
The Priestess of Aquileia
My men!
Here in Aquileia, the ceremony celebrating the third anniversary of His Holiness' elevation will start tomorrow.
We, the Undine Knights, have been tasked with street security.
"Security" sounds nice...
Fear not!
As long as your captain, Guiche de Gramont, is with you...
...but it basically means keeping order among the tourists.
...all will be well!
Onward, Undine!
What a romantic city!
It's almost like a honeymoon.
I can't believe Miss Vallière would leave me behind like that.
Unhappy.
Louise and Tiffania have agreed to become Your Holiness' priestesses.
I ask that you protect them, Your Holiness.
Of course. An incident like the other day shall not repeat itself.
Isn't that right, Julio?
Yes.
During the two weeks the ceremony spans,
three hundred Bronze Knights will be present.
However, Sir Julio.
I've been told the one who stole the Primogenitor's mirror is part of the Elemental Siblings, a mercenary group.
Is there any chance their employer is influencing further events behind the scenes?
I cannot deny that.
But during the ceremony, we have a Detect Magic spell cast all over the area as a precaution.
We'll know immediately if anyone uses magic,
so you don't have to worry.
What do you think, Agnes?
I still have my fears.
They are far too exposed against an enemy they cannot predict.
Above all, it bothers me that I cannot sense any break in His Holiness' composure after what happened.
Are you implying he was expecting this?
I hope I am only reading too much into it.
Is there any chance Saito-san was the person summoned?
Again?
Just seeing Saito-san makes my heart pound.
This is so strange.
I'm back!
Saito.
Welcome back.
L-Louise...
This is the priestess outfit I'll be wearing tomorrow.
I wanted you to be the first to see me in it.
A saint...
A saint has come.
Louise!
L-Louise!
S-Saito, y-you can't.
T-These clothes are meant to be worn before God.
W-Why not? You're so cute.
I-I'm not cute or anything.
You are!
You... You...
You look just like Lemon-chan!
Lemon-chan?
So smooth! Such a nice smell!
You're just like Lemon-chan!
I-I don't like you doing this.
You're so Lemon-chan! Totally Lemon-chan!
I don't really get it, but am I really this Lemon-chan you're talking about?
Yes, you are.
Try saying, "Lemon-chan's embarrassed".
"L-Lemon-chan's embarrassed."
Lemon-chan's so cute! So damn cute!
I'm so happy!
Lemon-chan's happy.
Here's a message from the wind.
Malicorn...
This inn's walls are pretty thin.
Please think of those in adjacent rooms.
A-All right...
In any case...
"Lemon-chan", seriously?!
N-No! Saito made me...
Saito made me say it!
Flame.
Flame to which I am bonded.
Direct yourself to where I command.
That makes three.
Good job, Vitartial.
A Flame Stone.
A crystal with the power of flame sealed within using the power of sprites.
Simply put, yes.
In actuality, it's much more complicated and profound.
So, Vitartial, how large an area can a Flame Stone this size burn?
What?
I'm asking you how powerful a weapon it is.
A weapon?
You didn't tell me you were going to use it for something like that!
I'm simply proposing a new use for it.
Why don't you come and watch?
No, thank you.
I don't plan to sully my hands with barbarism.
You've locked away an innocent girl on my orders...
...and used a secret elven spell on Jormungand's armour,
yet you still utter those words, huh?
Your hands are already sullied.
Whatever. Suit yourself.
Sheffield, how are things on your end?
Everything will be ready by tomorrow, Joseph-sama.
The mirror and the other item we are awaiting.
Our venerable Primogenitor, Brimir.
Protect the peace of Halkeginia.
Keep this place holy for all eternity.
Protect the peace of Halkeginia.
Keep this place holy for all eternity.
Please calm down, everyone!
I only want a glimpse of His Holiness.
Please let me see him as my gift before departing for the next world.
I'm not allowed to.
Public viewing is only allowed through the window.
A-All visitors please move to your right!
Not this way!
Malicorn!
I'm sick of this!
There are so many people.
I feel sorry for those knights.
Oh.
This way, Mademoiselle.
Do watch your step.
That idiot.
Today's ceremonies are finally over.
I'm surprised to see so many devoted followers amongst the plebeians.
I guess there are no barriers in worship.
But plebeians only speak God's name when it's convenient for them.
Perhaps, but-
Hey, Louise!
Let's go back.
I'll be right with you. Wait for me in the anteroom.
Okay.
Hey, Tiffa. Good work.
L-Likewise.
All I did was stand and watch.
But this is going to go on for another two weeks, huh?
I want to be sure.
I want to know if Saito-san is my familiar or not.
I-Is there something on my face?
Saito-san, I have a favour to ask.
May I?
Sure, I'll listen to whatever you want.
Then... please kiss me.
Oh, something like that.
Wait-
What?!
T-Tiffa?
If he is my familiar, a rune should appear.
T-Tiffa! We can't!
Well, to be honest, I'd be happy to.
But, well, I think there are so many problems with this!
Please. Otherwise, the uncertainty in my heart won't be settled.
Saito-san.
T-Tiffa...
Can we take a break without permission?
Sure, we need Guiche to actually do some work.
S-Saito... and Tiffa?!
No, this is...
I-I'm sorry!
Tiffa!
After Lemon-chan, you're going after Melon-chan?
U-Um...
Men are all fools!
Tiffa?
What's wrong?
Tiffa?
Um...
Excuse me, but this is no place for plebeians.
You're Lady Louise of the Vallière, right?
Yes.
I'm a farmer who works on la Vallière lands.
You're under our jurisdiction?
Yes.
Would you please grant me your favour?
I see. So you came to celebrate His Holiness with your mother.
How wonderful for you.
But the moment we entered the city,
Mother collapsed, possibly from fatigue.
If you would offer her kind words as a priestess,
I'm sure she'd be happy.
What? Louise left the cathedral?
Yes. A plebeian came looking for her,
and it looked like she couldn't turn her down.
Thank you. I'll go look for her.
There she goes again, doing things on her own.
Louise!
Where are you, Louise?!
Watch out, Partner!
You're...
Hiya, nice to see you again.
Thanks for what you did to Jacques-niisan the other day.
Get out of my way!
You there!
What are you doing there?!
Easy.
What's he doing here?
Could Louise be...
I'm not done avenging my brother yet.
She's over there.
Mother, Louise-sama is here.
A warm welcome to you from the Vallière estate.
Show me your face.
These plain clothes make me sick.
Who are you?!
Me?
I'm Jeannette.
The little sister of the guy you defeated the other day.
I can't move?
This knife is poisoned.
But don't worry. It's only an old poison that paralyses you for a while.
W-Why would you...
Wow, you have a lot of power.
Is that why they want you?
Stop asking about matters that don't concern you, Elemental Sibling.
I'll take it from here.
You can leave.
Are you sure?
You'll be paying me full price even if I only do half the job.
Your employer is telling you to go.
Okay, so I'll leave it to you.
If we had met under different circumstances,
we could have been good friends.
Goodbye.
Shall we get going?
To where my great master awaits!
Doudou-niisan.
Damn.
Just when it started to get interesting.
You guys better not have done anything to Louise!
Oh, that girl?
The cute, innocent and kind girl.
Maybe a little too kind.
Where is Louise?!
A scary lady took her, and she's probably out of the city by now.
Stop giving stuff away, Jeannette.
I'm the one Damien-niisan's going to yell at.
Don't worry. Our job is done.
Louise!
Damn it.
This is my fault.
It's because I wasn't careful enough.
Louise.
Louise...
Louise!
I found it in a back alley near the cathedral.
I'm sure it belonged to Miss Vallière.
I see.
I'm very sorry.
Who'd have thought something like this could happen in broad daylight?
Without the use of any magic, either.
It's Gallia.
Tabitha!
I summoned her.
She said she's familiar with the Elemental Siblings.
Please share what you know, Tabitha-san.
They were part of Gallia's North Flower Bed Knights.
I once was, as well.
I've heard that Gallia has knights specialising in doing dirty work.
So the mastermind of this incident is...
The King of Gallia, Joseph.
So it was Joseph who took Louise!
But if that is true... Aquileia is located near the border with Gallia.
Louise may already be beyond the border.
Princess!
I'll get Louise back even if it means breaking through the border!
You mustn't! If you did that, even you'd be-
P-Pardon my intrusion!
There's something I must pass on to Your Holiness!
Come this way.
It seems I should share this with all of you.
A message from the sentries at the Gallian border.
Gallia's army is moving toward the border.
What?!
Your Holiness! That would imply that...
They may attack the Empire.
Are you awake, little lady?
Untie me!
Look at you.
You think everyone will obey you if you yell out orders?
What do you plan on doing to me?
If you're going to do something terrible to me,
I'll bite my tongue off and die right here!
Calm down.
You!
I'm the King of Gallia, Joseph.
People call me the Brainless King.
Relax.
I won't mistreat my niece Charlotte's friend too badly.
How can you say that after all you've done to Tabitha?!
Locking away one's niece is still something any human might do.
What I am about to do is the act of a devil.
But to do this, I need your help.
Even if you do not wish to, you will be a part of it.
It will be a hell made possible with elven skill and Void magic.
Saito... Saito, save me!
