She is the third daughter of the Vallière family, a distinguished noble household in Tristain. Louise studies at the Tristain Academy of Magic, where she has gained the nickname "Louise the Zero" because of her constant failures in spellcasting and her lack of recognized elemental affinity.


Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière

“ My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. Pentagon of the five elements... Heed my call... And bring forth... My familiar! „
~ Louise using the familiar summoning spell

“ The most basic void spell... Is explosion. Everytime I tried a spell, I blew things up instead. Everyone thought it was a mistake... But... All this time, I was doing it right! Because my true element... Was void'!!! „
~ Louise while getting ready to use void magic

“ I know I can do it-- I can feel the power inside me! It feels so familiar, and right... Like a greeting from an old friend, or a childhood lullaby! My parents, sisters, and teachers all said I was talentless... My classmates taunted me by calling me "Zero"... But now I've found it! The real me! The rhythm surrounds me... The rhythm flows through my body... It speaks to me... I can feel the waves I create... They swirly around, searching for a target... Dancing inside my body...! „
~ Louise while getting ready to use void magic

“ Eolle, soon... Fill, yalun saxa... Os, soon ulyu, lu, rad... Beozus, yul, svelle, kando, ochora... Jerra, isa, unge... Hagar, beochin, ill...! „
~ Louise chanting the void explosion spell

Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Louise’s struggles with magic stem from her natural affinity for Void magic, an ancient and extremely rare element that only four individuals can wield at a time. The last known wielder before her was Brimir, the legendary founder. Since the Academy lacks instructors proficient in Void magic, unlike the other elemental disciplines, Louise cannot be properly trained and often causes explosions of varying intensity whenever she attempts spells outside its destructive nature. Despite this, she has demonstrated the ability to perform simpler incantations, though casting Void magic requires her to take time to gather power before releasing it.

Louise, Saito, and their companions journey to Romalia, where they meet Henrietta and Pope Vittorio to discuss forming an alliance against King Joseph’s ambitions to conquer Halkeginia. During their stay, Louise and Tiffania are appointed as priestesses and participate in a ceremony honoring the Pope’s coronation. Later, Louise is captured by Joseph but is eventually freed following his defeat and the destruction of his fleet. Afterward, she returns to Tristain and attends a celebratory ball.

Later, after rescuing Saito and Tiffania from the elven lands of Nephthys—where Saito temporarily became Tiffania’s familiar—they join in Tabitha’s coronation as Queen of Gallia. During this time, Louise overhears the Pope reveal that Saito’s Liveslatte power will eventually cost him his life once depleted. When the Ancient Dragon appears, Louise and her allies initially fail to defeat it, prompting her to send Saito back to his world through the World Door.

Name Meaning

Louise takes her name from Louise de La Vallière, born Françoise Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, who was a French noblewoman and served as the first mistress of King Louis XIV of France between 1661 and 1667. This name implies Louise herself is the equivalent to a French women in her world.

Appearance

General Description: Louise is a small and slender girl, easily recognized by her long pink hair and matching pink eyes. Her build emphasizes her youthful and delicate features.

Facial Features: She has a round, expressive face framed by her long hair. Her eyes are bright pink, complementing the color of her hair and giving her a distinct look.

Clothing/Outfit: She is most often seen in her school uniform, which includes a white blouse, a gray pleated skirt, and a black cloak draped over her shoulders. The cloak bears the school’s emblem, displayed on the collar of her blouse. Completing the outfit are long black socks that reach her thighs and black Mary Jane shoes.

Special Features: Her hair and eye color set her apart visually, both sharing the same shade of pink that is unusual and striking.

Alternate Outfit: On special occasions, Louise is seen wearing an elegant ball gown. The dress is long and flowing, with layered fabric that creates a sense of volume and grace. It features puffed short sleeves, a fitted bodice, and frilled edging along the neckline and hem. She accessorizes the gown with a small tiara and a delicate necklace, which add to the regal presentation. The outfit is completed with heeled shoes, giving her a refined and formal appearance that contrasts with her usual school attire.

Personality

  • Noble Demeanor: Louise often strives to carry herself as a proper noble, presenting herself with pride and confidence. She values appearances and works to project strength and authority. Her view of a noble is different from the standard definition however, as she views a noble as one that fights to protect those in need and take up tasks no one else is willing to do.
  • Strong Sense of Justice: Despite being a noble and thus viewing peasants as a lower class, she was the only noble to speak up about her and her two friends being rewarded when Saito, her peasant familiar, did most of the work and was the one who truly defeated the golem.
  • Volatile Nature: Despite her efforts, Louise’s personality is highly volatile. She can quickly shift from calm to impatient or temperamental, with moments of shyness or reckless behavior contrasting her otherwise composed image.
  • Generosity and Care: Beyond her temper, she has a capacity for kindness and loyalty. She is capable of genuine selflessness, offering thoughtful support to those she cares about. She has showcased many times showing genuine care for her familiar, Saito.
  • Insecurity and Desire for Recognition: Her repeated struggles with magic, along with the disapproval of her family and peers, have left her with a deep need to prove her worth. This longing for validation often drives her actions and decisions.

Goals

  • Help Saito get back home (Succeeded).

Relationships

Saito Hiraga

Saito and Louise's relationship is initially a master-servant relationship as Louise summons him as her familiar[2]. Her first bit of care when she hears Saito is about to get into a fight with Guiche de Grammont, telling him to apologize as she didn't believe any peasant could defeat a noble[3][4]. When getting hit by one of Guiche de Grammont's attacks, Louise out of worry calls Saito out by his name for the first time[5]. After his fight, he is gravely injured and Louise personally attends to him to help him recover from his wounds[6]. She says to him while teary eyed that he is her familiar and that she orders him to get up or she'll never forgive him[7]. Siesta notes to Saito that Louise stayed up every night watching over Saito while he was passed out, changing his bandges, wiping the sweat from his brow and buying him only the best medicine[8]. Louise notes to herself since Saito had no one to count on except her, she needs to take good care of him[9]. To have Saito be able to defend himself, she took him out to town to get a sword[10]. When facing off against a giant Golem, Louise refused to run away, noting that as a noble she will stand her ground and fight, with Saito slapping her telling her that pride is not worth her life and instead standing in to fight for her against the golem[11][12]. When Foquet is defeated and the girls are busy getting promoted, Louise asks why does Saito not get a reward when he did more then all three of them[13].

During The Frigg Ball, Louise asks Saito to dance with her where she tells him that she believes that he came from a different world as it was hard to believe at first until she saw the staff of destruction[14]. She then asks him if he wants to go home with Saito saying he does but he has no way of doing so at the moment so he will just stick around for now, with her smiling[15]. She also thanks him for saving her life from the golem and Saito thanks her back for refusing to run away and giving him the chance to use the staff of destruction[16].

When Wardes, her fiance, is traveling with her on a secret mission for the princess, he suggests leaving Guiche and Saito behind as they're exhausted and he wishes to reach the town of La Rochelle before nightfall, but Louise refuses saying she cannot leave her familiar behind[17].

After Saito loses a duel against Wardes, he is in a depressed state where he realizes he's not fit to protect Louise and realizes there will truly be no way home, with the only reason he's even fine with staying in the current world is because of Louise[18]. He later tries to fight to protect her against a bandit but gets hit with a lightning attack that causes him to pass out, with Louise worrying over him[19]. Due to his frustrations of repeatedly failing to be a good protector for Louise, he refuses to accept any help on his burned arm, despite Louise worrying about it[20].

Later Wardes reveals to Saito he plans on marrying Saito the next day with Saito noting he will not be attending the wedding and leaving, telling his goodbyes to Louise as he doesn't believe he can protect her[21].

While on the ship, he notices that he can see what Louise can see through his left eye and worries that she might be in trouble[22]. He makes it in time to save Louise before Wardes, who is revealed to by a traitor for the rebels, tries to kill her[23]. During their fight, when Wardes attacks and nearly kills Louise, Saito feels a fire in his soul making him far faster and stronger with Wardes asking why does he love someone who will never reciprocate the feelings with Saito himself saying he doesn't believe it is love but a strong feeling to protect Louise[24]. Afterwards Saito has Louise sleep on his shoulder during the trip back to let her rest[25].

After this event Louise started to act weirder around Saito, telling him he doesn't need to wash her clothes or prepare them anymore and defending Saito when people insulted him[26]. She allows him to sleep in bed with her rather then on the floor, promising him that she will find a way to get him to go home[27]. Though after another misunderstanding with Saito with Siesta on her bed, she lashes out on him again and tells Saito he's fired from being her familiar, Saito in response travels with friends to go on a treasure hunt where he finds a plane that he can use to travel to the East to learn more about how to get home. While this is done, Louise feels increasingly more lonely without Saito around, with people telling her that she treats him too roughly. After a short argument and reconciliation, she asks Saito if he really plans on using the plane to travel to the east and go home before asking him if she ordered him not to leave, would he go anyways. She claims this isn't out of love, but that when Saito is with her, she feels safe enough to sleep[28].

During the battle against the battleship Lexignton, Louise sneaks on board Saito's plane and helpps him fight against the enemies, where she prays for Saito's safety along with her own, unlocking void magic and using it while Saito protects her[29] [30].

When Louise travels back home to beg her family to let her join in the war effort, Saito comes with her. Once her father tells he she can't and she must find someone to marry, she escapes to a nearby rowboat she always goes to whenever she's sad, Saito appears there and confesses his love for her with her being unable to reciprocate, but Saito can see through it. He starts to kiss her when a her family and their guards appear to try and lock Louise in the tower and behead Saito, though he grabs her and escapes[31].

During the war, Saito views people his age die, where he is very shaken up by this, Louise tries to comfort and hug him while half-naked[32].

Later on when 70,000 soldiers are entering the territory, the war generals enlist Louise to single-handedly hold them off, Saito is angered by this telling her she's being told to die but Louise accepts her fate as it meants protecting her friends, she asks Saito to marry her before she goes out to the battle, Saito agrees but shares wine with her here he put a sleeping potion inside of it for her to drink, he tells Louise he loves her and he truly means it before she falls unconscious from the potion and proceeds to face off the 70,000 soldiers by himself[33].

By the end of the series, they get married for real, with both confessing their love for each other[34].

Powers and Techniques




Through her summoning ritual, she summoned[124] Saito Hiraga[125], which gives her:

Equipment

Magic Wand

A wand used by mages in order to perform their spells.

Saito Hiraga

Louise's familiar, while he initially seems like a mere regular human, he is in actuality the reincarnation of Gandalfr, the legendary familiar of the great ancestor, Brimir, one said to have such strength that it can defeat a thousand soldiers with a single sword strike and ordinary magic attacks were said to be useless against him[145]. This allows him to master any weapon he takes in hand[146]. She gave him the legendary sword Derflinger, an intelligent sword that can talk[147].

Notable Techniques

Explosion

Explosion Magic is Louise's signature spell, initially she always used it when trying to use other magics, having people call her "Louise the Zero" as they thought she had zero magic potential, but in actuality, this was her using Void magic without realizing it. A true explosion void spell causes a giant white light that swallows anyone she imagines and fully kills them.

She can use lesser non-lethal explosions also and has essentially a full control over her explosion magic, being able to spam multiple at once if she wishes.

Dispel

Dispel magic is the ability to remove something of magic entirely, while it does standard anti-magic techniques of nullifying magic, this one applies even to magic that's apart of physiology or forcefields, being able to remove someone's immortality entirely or their regeneration as it falls under the fundemental elements of the universe, long with this removing forcefields through dispelling it.

Illusion

Louise is able to create illusions through recreating anything she's seen, being able to trick people with them by making them chase after fake fleets that disappear after a dozen hours.

Teleport

Louise is able to teleport about "100 mails", being able to teleport as far as she can see. She is able to spam this spell to teleport multiple times.

World Door

World Door is a spell that opens a portla between two distant places, along with alternate universes and dimensions.

Fireball

Louise has attempted to use fireball twice, once against the Golem which Saito compared to a soap bubble being shot, and a stronger variant against Wardes, however it had no effect on him. She uses this little as fire is not the element she's attuned with.

Other

Standard Tactics: Louise utilizes explosion magic as her main form of combating while her familiar Saito protects her. She may also use spells such as illusion or dispel when the task calls for it.

Weaknesses

Explanations

Elements

When a mage performs a summoning spell, his or her magical element is revealed: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Void, the fifth mythical element[156]. The five magical elements are intricately entwined with all of nature, including humans[157]. The four major elements of magic are fire, water, earth, and wind, together with void, the lost element, they make up the five points of the pentagram[158]. Earth is the most important of all, being the element connected to life in all its forms[159].

Void

Void is the mysterious fifth element controlled by great ancestor Brimir, being a power that precedes all others and existed before creation itself[160], which this magic on can raise the dead[161], along with being theorized that void magic could be the key to eternal life or life after death[162]. Void magic is noted to be something stronger than the four basic elements and exist itself as an element outside the four[163].

Alchemy

The basic magic of the earth element is alchemy, it can create metals or cut stones for construction and aid in harvesting crops[164].

Square Mage

A mage who can control the four elements: fire, water, earth, and wind[165].

Triangle Mage

A mage who can control three of the elements[166].

Line Mage

A mage who can control two of the elements[167].

Note

Trivia

  • The moniker "Louise" was inspired by the historical figure Françoise-Athénaïs, Marquise de Montespan, who served as a prominent mistress to King Louis XIV of France from 1661 to 1667. Following her tenure in the royal court, she was granted the titles of Duchess of La Vallière and later became the Duchess of Vaujours. Notably, she encountered individuals who bore striking similarities to the characters within the "Zero no Tsukaima" narrative, such as Henrietta, a member of the French nobility, the dashing Guiche de Gramont, and Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the influential minister of finance.
    • Due to this naming convention, Louise is likely meant to be an equivalent of French ethnicity in her world.
  • Louise bears a strong resemblance to Taiga Aisaka (of Toradora) in both appearance and attitude. Both also nickname their male partners (Ryuuji Takasu and Saito Hiraga) 'dog'. They also have the same seiyuu. She also resembles Shana (from Shakugan No Shana) and she has a somewhat similar attitude to Aria in Aria: The Scarlet Ammo.

  41. ↑ Zero no Tsukaima Volume 2, Chapter 1: A Secret Boat "In Louise’s dream, the younger version of her jumped onto the boat and snuggled into a bla nk et that was prepared earlier.
    As she hid inside her blanket, a noble clad in a cloak appeared from the mist-covered island.
    The noble was about sixteen years old. In Louise’s dream, she was only six years old, a ten year difference lay between them.
    “Have you been crying, Louise?” His face could not be seen as it was covered by a large hat.
    But Louise knew exactly who he was: he was the Viscount, the noble who had just inherited the lands around her homeland. Louise felt warm and fuzzy inside; the Viscount was the man of her dreams. They had often frequented banquets together and, furthermore, their fathers had already made an engagement.
    “Is that you, Viscount?”
    Louise haphazardly covered her face; she did not want the man of her dreams to see her crying. It would be embarrassing.
    “I was invited by your father today regarding the engagement.”
    Hearing this, Louise was even more embarrassed to the point that she did not even dare lift her head up.
    “Really? But that would not be possible, Viscount.”
    “Louise, my small and dainty Louise, do you dislike me?” the Viscount said in jest.
    Louise gently shook her head and said abashedly, ”No, it’s not that. It's just that I’m still young and unready ...”
    The face hidden underneath the hat revealed a smile and extended a hand out to Louise.
    “Viscount.”
    “Lady, please take hold of my hand. Quickly, the banquet is about to start.”
    “But...”
    “Have you been scolded again? Don’t worry. I’ll talk to your father.” the Viscount said.
    Louise nodded, stood up and reached for the Viscount’s hand. What big hands, aren't those the hands that she had always dreamed of holding?
    Just as she was about to grasp the Viscount’s hand, a sudden gust of wind blew the hat from the Viscount’s head.
    “Eh?!” Louise looked at his face, perplexed. Because it was a dream, Louise had returned to her sixteen year old self."
  42. ↑ Zero no Tsukaima Volume 2, Chapter 5: A Rest Day Before Leaving "“After this mission, marry me Louise”
    “Ah...”
    The sudden marriage proposal left Louise speechless.
    “I am not satisfied to be just a mage captain of the Magic Knights... I want to become a noble that will move the whole of Halkeginia some day, ”
    “B-but.”
    “But what?”
    “I...I am still. .still”
    “You are not a child anymore, you are 16 years old. You have reached the age when you can decide things. Your father agreed too. So...”"

  44. ↑ Zero no Tsukaima Volume 12, Chapter 2, Page 31 "“You know, from now on that girl is a noble. And as a noble, she can’t live without being alone at times. Because of that, she needs to be independent. Becoming helpless at just a little bit of teasing, she won’t survive living in Halkeginia. She needs to pick up the pieces of herself afterwards. That’s what it means to be a noble.”
    Louise said in a strict tone.
    Looking at that face, Saito was reminded of what happened a year ago.
    Louise was being made fun of by her class.
    Saying things like ‘zero’ and ‘idiot,’ Louise didn’t have a single friend.
    Holding onto her pride as a noble, Louise faced up to the golem. . .
    Comparing with Louise, Tiffania was now in a similar position. This was definitely not something to not take seriously."

She looks kind of like a foreigner. In fact, the girl must have been a foreigner. A cute, doll-like, foreigner. Maybe she s half-Japanese?
    But still, that's some kind of school uniform she's wearing, isn ’t it? I don't recognize it.
    During this time, Saito had been lying on the ground, face up, though he was unsure of how he had gotten there. He raised his head to take a look around. Many people in black cloaks were looking upon him with curiosity. There, in the distance, on an endlessly rich grassy plain, he saw a huge castle with stone walls, just like the ones in those European tour photographs."

    A rhythm had started pulsating through Louise. She felt as though knew the rhythm from somewhere. With every word of the incantation, the rhythm grew stronger. It sharpened her senses, while not a single noise around reached her ears. It was as if something within her body was born, and was searching for a destination. . . Louise remembered what she was told once. When you recite an incantation of your own branch, a feeling similar to what she was feeling would be felt. Is it really what I’m feeling? Me, who has always been despised for being a zero. Me, who was said to have no talent in magic by teachers, parents, sisters and students. Is this the real me?

    The wave inside her, searching for a destination, went berserk. Louise gave Saito a signal with her leg. Saito nodded and pushed the control stick down. The zero fighter began to swoop down at the Lexington below them. Opening her eyes, she timed her incantation.
    “Void”
    The legendary branch of magic.
    I wonder how powerful it is?
    No one knows.
    Of course, there’d be no reason I’d know.
    This was supposedly beyond legendary.

    After the long incantation, the spell was complete. At that moment, Louise understood the power of the spell. It would swallow everyone. Every person in her vision, would be swallowed by her spell. There were two options. Kill, or don’t kill. What was she meant to destroy? With the winds blowing against her face, she looked down. A large warship appeared before her eyes. The Lexington. Following her impulse, she aimed at a single point and swung her wand down.
    An unbelievable scene unfolded before Henrietta’s eyes. The warship that had been bombarding them. . . A ball of light had appeared in the sky. It was like a smaller version of the sun, and it expanded. And... it swallowed it. It had swallowed the warship in the sky. The light continued to expand until it was all she could see. There was complete silence. Henrietta suddenly closed her eyes. The light of the sphere was so intense that anyone would think that their eyes would burn from staring at it. And then. . . after the light had faded, the whole fleet was on fire. The fleet led by the Lexington had all their sails and decks burning. As if it were a lie, the head of the fleet that had been tormenting the Tristain troops, sank to the ground.
    A tremor in the earth could be felt. The fleet had come crashing down. Henrietta was dumbfounded. Complete silence overcame them. Everyone stared at the unbelievable scene.
    The first one to come to his senses was Cardinal Mazarini. He was looking at the silvery wings, shining under the sun in the sky. It was Saito’s zero fighter.
    Mazarini cried out, “People! Look! The enemy fleet has been destroyed by the legendary Phoenix!” “Phoenix? The immortal bird?”
    A commotion spread through the troops.
    “Look at that bird flying in the sky! That’s the legendary bird that’s said to come at Tristain’s hour of need! The Phoenix! The founder’s have blessed us!”
    Shouts of joy could be heard everywhere.
    “Long live Tristain! Long live the Phoenix!”
    Henrietta asked Mazarini quietly, “Cardinal, the Phoenix... was it the truth? I haven’t heard of anything called the legendary Phoenix. . .”
    Mazarini mischievously smiled.

    On the book, the incantation that had surfaced yesterday.
    "Teleportation."
    How far can she teleport to? Would she reach Romania in an instant? Or, was it just a short distance?"
    She did not understand.
    However, there was no time for her to hesitate.
    Louise started to chant the incantations.
    "Uryuhagara-subeo-kunniru."
    Immediately waving her wand, unleashing her power in one shot.
    In an instant, Louise's body appeared in the air about one hundred mails from the convent. Below her was the sea, shining dully... gravity mercilessly took hold of her, and Louise fell.
    While falling, Louise started to chant again.
    "uryuhagara-su"
    She could only chant till here, if she continued chanting she would drop into the sea! Louise's body moved slightly closer to the coast again. In the air, Louise grumbled. (T/L: This sentence needs to be checked, so just read this part with a pinch of salt)
    "What the heck, I hardly moved at all!"
    She only moved up a distance of about two hundred Mails from Saint Margerita's Convent. However, undaunted, Louise continued to chant.
    She actually planned to teleport to the coast like this. Even though, it was not sure if she had enough will power... but she has made her decision, and there was no turning back.
    Louise fixed her gaze to the front, and started to chant again."

    "The power of the 'Void' is lost... I didn't think this actually could happen...."
    On the swaying ground, Vittorio Serevare looked to the sky and sighed.
    He could clearly feel the power of the 'Void', granted by the Founder, gradually flowing out of his body.
    The huge "Door" that was opened in the air began to slowly close....
    Facing the Founder's long desired "Holy Land", Vittorio could only stand where he was, dumbly.
    There was only two ways to eliminate the power of the "Void" from this world.
    The first, was to recover the "Holy Land", and the second was....
    For the 'Gandálfr' to kill his master with his own hand.
    Where did she learn the second method?
    "No, under the circumstances, that's already unimportant...."
    The self-deprecating Vittorio shook his head.
    It's was his loss. At the last moment, she lost to her love.
    She had measured the life of the man she loved and Halkeginia on a scale and chose the former. She had chosen to sacrifice her own life to save the young man from his fated death.
    The "Holy Land" was crumbling, and big cracks appeared in the ground.
    In the chaos and noise, Vittorio stared at the setting of the destroyed Ruby of Fire.
    "All hope is gone. Mother, I'll see you soon."
    After chanting the Founder's prayer, Vittorio jumped into a crack in the ground.
    Be it the ground shaking, or the all-encompassing noise, Saito didn't hear a thing.
    Still holding the bloody remains of Louise in his arms, he kept on crying and crying.
    "Louise... Hey, Louise... Please open your eyes, okay!"
    Louise had already stopped breathing.
    The deep brown eyes that used to move so delicately could no longer open.
    No smile would appear on her face which had lost its blood.
    "Why... Why like this... Louise!"
    Saito tightly hugged Louise, with her pink-blonde hair.
    Louise... My love, my favorite master.
    A stubborn temperament, high self-esteem, a strong sense of justice....
    The girl that told Saito that she loved him....
    Drip, Drip the tears that couldn't stop, wet Louise's cheeks.
    The rune on his left hand weakened and gradually disappeared.
    "Don't go away... Please, don't vanish, okay...?"
    Squeezing his left hand, Saito shouted.
    This is the link between Louise and I....
    "Damn... Isn't this the same as 6,000 years ago...?"
    If Gandálfr were to kill his master, the power of the "Void" would be wiped out.
    Louise, who dreamed the same dream as Saito, knew this and tried to get Saito to kill her.
    That would be the only way to save both Saito and the world of Saito's homeland.
    Even if it meant sacrificing herself and Halkeginia's future, Louise wanted to save Saito.
    Saito reached out his hand, touching the gradually cooling cheeks of Louise.
    "Louise, when I was beaten by Guiche, you took care of me for three days and three nights. After that, not only did you go with me to buy a sword, you also faced Fouquet's golem with Kirche, Tabitha and I... Also, the Ball of Frigg, was the first time you danced with me. To now, I still remember feeling my heart race seeing you wearing your formal dress."
    Saito gently combed Louise's hair with trembling fingers.
    "After that, I fought against Wardes in Albion, we worked together at the 'Charming Fairies' Inn, and experienced many adventures. You remember when we returned to your home, didn't you tell me that there was a necessity for the reward of my loyalty? At that time, I thought that you finally agreed with me. I was so very happy...."
    The memories he made with Louise flashed through Saito's mind without stopping.
    A wedding ceremony held in Albion, going to the Sleipnir Dance, and the adventure with everyone to save Tabitha. The date in Romalia, reuniting with Louise when she wiped her memory, and living steadily in Des Ornières. The time you saw me kiss the princess, causing you to leave home....
    There were happy things, fun things, sad things, and difficult things... full of memories.
    When I was in Tokyo, I never thought about my life goals. I lived the boring life of going to school and eating....
    Saito tightly embraced Louise's remains.
    "However, Louise. After you met me, I understood a lot of things. You followed me to somewhere different. Somewhere which wasn't here......"
    "...to! Saito!"
    Saito didn't know where the voice calling him came from.
    Looking back, he saw Siesta, Tiffania, and Henrietta desperately shouting from the other side of a large crack in the ground.
    "Saito, escape quickly! If you stay there you'll die!"
    Tiffania yelled with concern.
    "...."
    But Saito shook his head and signaled that he was very sorry. That he would stay here, together with Louise.
    Of course he understood... If he died here, he would waste all of Louise's effort. However, living in a world without Louise had no meaning.
    To go back to Earth, or the future of Halkeginia, none of it mattered.
    The agreement he made with Louise before, to die together....
    So at death's door, he wanted to stay at Louise's side.
    "Tiffa, Siesta, Princess... Sorry! Say goodbye to everyone for me!"
    After shouting at the three, Saito picked up Louise's remains and stood up.
    Rumble, Rumble, Rumble... The ground shook and the cracks got bigger and bigger.
    Tiffania's group continued to call Saito's name, but finally the ground completely split apart, and the three couldn't be seen again.
    Louise's body was very light. That tiny body had been constantly bearing the weight of the fate of the world... Thinking that, his tears could no longer be held back.
    Such a tiny girl actually gambled her life, trying to save me and the Earth....
    With Louise's body still in his arms, Saito slowly moved towards the crack.
    Louise, my most beloved....
    We have to be together forever.
    Although I don't know if there's a heaven in Halkeginia....
    If there is a heaven, we'll get married in heaven.
    Saito looked down in the dark crevice.
    "Well...."
    Even if you're mentally prepared, in the moment of truth, you still hesitate.
    It couldn't be that the reason he couldn't gather his courage was related to the disappearance of the "Gandálfr" rune?
    "Dammit, bastard...."
    Then Saito yelled, trying to hide his fear, when he suddenly discovered the body of Louise in his arms was emitting blue and white light.
    "....What's going on?"
    Saito couldn't help but frown.
    The source of the light was Derflinger.
    "Derf?"
    "Oh, partner, don't be a total idiot."
    At this time, Derflinger spoke.
    "You can't ruin this little lady's intent."
    "Derf, you...."
    Saito was at a total loss....
    "I remembered... my final duty."
    The light of Derflinger's blade got more and more intense.
    "Final duty?"
    "Well, that's right... Say partner, I've always felt strange. I doubted my ability that I grant my 'Wielder' to act using magic power... The actual use of this kind of ability."
    "What to do with... it isn't to try and keep the familiar alive?"
    "Well, I thought so at the beginning. But I was wrong. That wasn't the case at all."
    He saw Derflinger's light get brighter and brighter.
    "I-I, always thought that the person who built me was Sasha."
    "You're telling me that's wrong?"
    "No, it's not wrong... I didn't say that. The correct answer is that I was the creation of Sasha and Brimir, the achievement of the two working together."
    "Brimir?"
    "Right, the will of both of them was injected into my body. When you think about it, the block on my memory is very much like the will of Brimir... but that doesn't matter. The main point is that just before Brimir died, it seems like he injected 'Void' magic into me."
    "And this is the ability to let Derf's 'Wielder' move?"
    Hearing this, Saito asked.
    "Well, that's how it is. The thing Brimir left me is the 'Void' magic to endow life. As opposed to the 'Life' intended for destruction, a different kind of 'Life' magic."
    "So what exactly are you saying, Derf...?"
    When Saito said this....
    Ping....
    A small crack appeared on the surface of Derflinger.
    "Derf?"
    "Think about it, for 6,000 years, I may have lived all this time for this moment."
    Ping... Ping....
    The cracks scattered across the surface gradually expand.
    At the same time, the light from the blade of Derflinger gradually increased....
    "Derf!"
    Saito was shocked, and shouted the name of his partner.
    Then Saito realized what Derflinger wanted to do.
    "Derf, don't tell me you...."
    "Don't make that face, partner."
    Derflinger's tone was the usual one.
    "I'm truly happy to be able to meet you partner. Although it's a pity to say goodbye, but I have no regrets. After living for 6,000 years, I've completely fulfilled my mission. This life as a tool wasn't lived in vain."
    "...You aren't a tool, Derf isn't some kind of tool!"
    Saito cried as he spoke.
    "You aren't a tool... You're my friend."
    "Well, hearing you say that makes me very happy."
    He saw the tip of Derflinger's blade gradually crumble....
    Up to now, Saito could only dumbly sit there and watch.
    "Partner... Let the little lady be happy. Don't be unfaithful again."
    "Derf...."
    At that time, Saito noticed.
    Louise's fingers, which were just becoming cold, moved slightly.
    "... Louise?"
    "It seems to be successful...."
    Derflinger's voice was like gossamer.
    "Goodbye, partner. This time is really goodbye."
    "Derf, wa-wait I, Derf...."
    "I am truly happy to have met you."
    "Derf----!"
    At that moment, the light shrouding Louise and Derflinger's blade in radiance instantly shattered.
    "... un, wh..."
    ... Louise slowly opened her eyes.
    In front of her was a black-haired teenager.
    Crying tears, with snot coming out his nose, and no idea what he was saying.
    ...It's Saito.
    Saito is shouting my name.
    "What? What's going on?"
    This confused Louise. Because didn't she just die?
    In order to save Saito's life, she chose to die by being run through by Derflinger.
    Well, that's definitely right. I died at that time, without a doubt.
    So, where is this? Why is Saito here?
    At this time, Louise was shocked.
    This can't be heaven?
    Well, it must be like this, right?
    It turns out that I went to heaven....
    Louise understood this.
    Uh, no, wait. If this is heaven....
    Why is Saito here?
    I'm in heaven now, I am here... so, that is, um....
    After thinking for several seconds, Louise came to a conclusion.
    "You, you, y-y-you, you...."
    "You?"
    "W-what did you do!"
    Louise kicked Saito in the crotch hard.
    "That hurts ever so very much-------!"
    Immediately afterwards, there was no mercy, Saito was kicked rolling across the ground.
    "You idiot, I obviously died to save you, and you ended up following me! Idiot, you, big, idiot! W-w-waaaaaaaaaa!"
    "W-wait! Wait a moment, calm down a bit, Louise!"
    Saito, being angrily kicked by Louise, shouted.
    "Y-you still dare to tell me to calm down! Y-you actually, actually did this...."
    "You were resurrected."
    "...What?"
    This sentence confused Louise.
    After looking around, she realized this place was just the "Holy Land".
    "...You say I was resurrected?"
    "Well, although it's kinda hard to believe...."
    Saito stood up and grabbed Louise's hand.
    From the palm of Saito's hand, she really felt warmth.
    "W-why? But, didn't I, die... right?"
    The uneasy Louise said.
    "It was Derf that saved you."
    Saito sorrowfully said.
    She saw the wreckage of Derflinger fallen at their feet.
    "Derf saved me?"
    "Well, He said something about his final duty... he gave his life to you."
    Then Saito told Louise Derflinger's final words.
    In order to not repeat the tragedy from 6,000 years ago, the Founder Brimir injected Life into Derflinger. Then Derflinger used that Life to bring Louise back to life....
    Louise was in a daze for a bit after hearing this, finally her tears overflowed.
    After collecting the wreckage of Derflinger, piece by piece, she tightly held them to her chest.
    "Derf, you always, always helped us."
    "Yeah."
    "I... I also think, that you were my most important friend."
    Louise's tears, dampened Derflinger, who had turned into ordinary broken iron.
    "Derf, thank you."
    Louise whispered with her eyes closed
    Saito also silently closed his eyes.
    In fact, even Saito wanted to cry.
    But instead of sorrow, Saito thought that they were to happily thank Derflinger.
    Thank you... Thank you for resurrecting my most beloved person, Louise."

    "It might return me to my world."
    Looking discernably perplexed, Louise tilted her head to one side.
    "...That won't work. 'Summon Servant' is strictly a one-way spell. No incantation of any kind exists to return a summoned familiar back to where it was brought from."
    "Whatever, just try it."
