The Familiar of Zero (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Tôzoku no shôtai - full transcript

After the palace treasure was stolen, Louise, Kirche, and their Familiars are tasked to retrieve it and bring the Staff of Destruction back to the institution.

Here, say aah.

How is it?

Yeah, this is tasty!

Really? These fruits are
a Germanian specialty.

Hey! Don't feed
someone else's familiar!

Oh, it's all right.

We all get bored when it's
study hall all the time.

Well, the whole thief hubbub means
no time to hold classes, I'm sure.

But it sure is a big deal.

I hear rumors that Princess Henrietta
may have to take responsibility.

The reason why Fouquet
could sneak in was

because they pulled the few guards
they had to guard the Princess, right?

In the first place, I hear that she
had decided to visit the Institute,

pushing aside all objections
from her advisors...

Princess...

Miss Vallière!

Miss Tabitha!

Come to the Principal's
office immediately!

A history of the couple's romance
that starts from the first kiss

You, the one who cast magic on
this destiny, suddenly appeared

The sky where two moons
never fade away

That's an impossibility, right?

This is the first time I've
felt anything like this

I'm feeling more and more
at ease with this place

Even if you trip and
become depressed

I will always hold you
tight with a squeeze

The story where we met that day
stays hot with a sweet kiss

See, you can cast magic, and
the wishes will surely come true

A history of the couple's romance
that starts from the first kiss

You, the one who cast magic on
this destiny, suddenly appeared

A Thief's Identity

Why are you here?

It's all right. It sounds fun,
don't you think?

Upon questioning various
folk around town,

we have gathered information about
sightings of a suspicious shadow

entering and leaving a deserted
shack deep in the woods.

You sure are quick with
your job, Miss Longueville.

From those testimonies,
I attempted to sketch it out.

How is it?

This is Fouquet!
There's no doubt about it!

Let's report this to the
Palace immediately.

We can ask the Royal Guards
to send men there.

If we drag our heels that much,
Fouquet will catch on to us.

We must get the Staff of Destruction
back with our own hands,

to regain the Institute's honor
that was tarnished by that thief!

Raise your staff, if you are
up for the challenge!

What's wrong?

Are there no nobles that want to raise
their fame by capturing Fouquet?

I'll go!

Miss Vallière!

I will go as well.

Zerbst!

I can't afford to lose
against a Vallière.

You know...

Tabitha?

You don't have to. This is a problem
between the two of us.

I'm worried about you two.

Tabitha!

Thank you.

Then I will leave it to the three of you.

These two have witnessed Fouquet.

On top of that, Miss Tabitha is a
Chevalier Knight, at so young an age.

A knight?!

Is that true, Tabitha?

Furthermore, Miss Zerbst is from

an established military
family in Germania.

I also hear that her flame magic
is very strong as well.

And...

Miss Vallière over here is
a daughter of the Vallière family,

which has had several
excellent mages, and... well...

She has a very bright future...

Oh, that's right!

I hear that her familiar is
an excellent swordsman who

overwhelmed Guiche de Grammont,
the son of General Grammont!

That's right! He has
the legendary Gund...

The Institute of Magic will be
looking forward to your hard work

as well as your duties as nobles!

Old Osman, I will serve as their guide.

Will you do so, Miss Longueville?

I had intended to from the start.

What?

She can use magic,
so Fouquet is a noble, right?

Why is a noble stealing
things as a thief?

It's not the case that
all mages are nobles.

For various reasons, many have been
demoted from nobility to peasants.

Among them, many disguise
themselves as guards,

or turn into criminals.

Even I am one of those that
has been demoted from nobility.

But, Miss Longueville, you're
Old Osman's secretary, right?

Mr. Osman isn't too picky
about noble or peasant.

Then what was the reason
you lost your nobility?

Isn't it all right?
I would like to hear it.

You're being rude, Zerbst!

I'm just having idle chitchat
because I'm bored.

Ah... For what sad reasons
do I have to come catch a thief...

Then you didn't need
to come out here.

It's because I'm worried
about my darling.

Right, Darling?

Yeah...

What about you?

What are you going to do if
a golem shows up again?

That should be obvious!
I'll get that thing with my magic.

Magic? Whose?

Don't make me laugh,
Louise the Zero!

Come on, don't come all the way
out here to have a fight.

Oh, Darling...

You forgot this.

Oh, but I have him with me.

Such a cheap thing won't
do you any good in a crisis.

Don't you think so?

Well, I don't exactly disagree...

But...

Do whatever you want.

See, you got permission
from your master.

Then, without hesitation...

According to the information,
it has to be that shack.

It's just an old
charcoal-burning shack.

It could be camouflage.

It seems like an empty house.

There doesn't seem to be
any place to hide.

There's nobody in there.

There seem to be no traps.

Tabitha!

I'll stand guard outside.

Yeah, please do.

Then I will scout the surroundings.

Let's do a once-over to see
if there are any clues.

Well, even if it's useless...

Oh, at this rate I'll be covered in dust.

Tabitha, Saito, let's go outside now.

Staff of Destruction.

What's the matter?

It's certainly the same box, but...

Louise?

A golem?!

Nied Iss Har...

Inn Ex Pet Flame...

Fire!

We're no match for it after all!

Where's Louise?

What are you doing?!

Run, Louise!

I will not!

Stop it! You're no match for it!

In the first place, you
can't cast spells...

I'm a noble!

You don't call someone a noble
because they use magic!

You call someone a noble who never
shows their back to the enemy!

I won't be called
Louise the Zero forever!

Tiel Nidul Thunder!

Don't get in my way!

Who cares if you're a noble?!

It's all over if you die, idiot!

I mean...

People always, always make
fun of me, and it's frustrating.

They'll make fun of me again
if I run away!

Hey, come on, don't cry.

And I won't be able to keep the
promise I made to the Princess...

Get on.

Kirche, please!

Get a grip!

You too.

It's all right! Go!

Saito?!

It sure makes me want to
do something about it.

piece of dirt!

Don't underestimate me!

I'm the familiar of Louise the Zero!

You're kidding me!

Wasn't it a fine piece from Germania?!

Draw me, partner!

You'll break too!

If you don't want to die,
draw me! Don't you get it?!

All right! Shut up!

My body is so light.

It feels just like when
I was fighting Guiche!

What are you saying,
this late in the game?

Don't space out on me! It's coming!

What? It looks like he's
gotten agile all of a sudden.

... I won't lose like this,
but I can't win either.

What should I do?

I have to do something!
Let me borrow that!

What the heck?!

Let me down!

Louise!

Get away from Saito!

The Staff of Destruction?!

It can't be!

Why?

Louise!

This isn't a magic staff!

You use it like this!

Take cover!

Amazing...

Why is something like that...

He's a peasant, but he
can use a magic staff?!

You really are my darling after all!

Oh, no, it's not that... My body
was moving on its own again.

Where is Fouquet?

If the golem was here,

that means she's somewhere close by.

Good job.

Miss Longueville,
where have you been?

"Staff of Destruction"
describes it well enough.

It blew my golem into dust.

My golem?

No way.

You're Fouquet?

Don't move!

Stealing it is well and good,

but I was in a bind because I
couldn't figure out how to use it.

I thought that if I brought
someone from the Institute,

I was sure to get good results.

That's why...

My guess was slightly off when
students came instead of instructors,

but I thought that the familiar
standing there could pull it off.

Nothing less from Gundolf.

Gundolf?

I give you my thanks.

Farewell.

Why?

Unfortunately, this is
a single-use weapon.

It's called a rocket launcher,

a weapon that came from my world.

So this ends our job... Right?

We have handed Fouquet
over to the Palace Guards,

and the Staff of Destruction is
once again secure in the vault.

That puts an end to the matter.

You all are the guests of honor
for tonight's banquet.

That is to be expected.

The Palace thinks very highly
of this incident.

I am sure that they will
reward the three of you.

A reward from the Palace?! Amazing!

Three? That means that Saito...

Unfortunately, since he
is not a nobleman...

I see.

I don't care about that.

Instead, I would like
to ask something.

I have to dress up really nicely today!

Saito...

I am not someone from this world.

I was unintentionally
summoned here by Louise.

The Staff of Destruction is
a weapon that exists in my world.

Where did you find it?

I see. That's how it is.

The Staff of Destruction is
a memento from a certain man.

I believe it's already been thirty years.

He had saved my life,

and was dressed in a peculiar
outfit that I'd never seen before.

That man had suffered
terrible wounds.

I brought him back to the Institute,

and gave him our best care, but...

He passed away?

In the end, I never figured out who
he was, or where he came from.

The man had two Staves
of Destruction on him.

I buried the staff that had
saved me with him in his grave,

and I offered the second
to the Palace.

To think that such a story was
behind the Staff of Destruction...

! I thought I finally found
a lead to finding my way back!

What's wrong, partner?

There's a party going on.
What's with the glum face?

Leave me alone.

I thought I would be able to go home,

but I didn't learn anything after all.

The daughter of Duke Vallière,

Miss Louise Françoise Le Blanc
de La Vallière, has arrived!

That's Louise, right?

Miss Louise!

May I have the...

Hey! Fine feathers
make fine birds, eh?

Quiet.

Why are you standing there,
looking dazed?

It's fine for me to do anything, right?

I haven't been given any orders
from my master today.

Something's starting.

Come on, you should go.

I wouldn't mind dancing with you.

Don't you mean, "May I please
have this dance?"

It's just for today.

Will you honor me with one song's
worth of a dance, gentleman?

Sure...

I'll pass after all. I've never
danced before anyway.

Just follow me.

Like this?

I'll believe you.

What's that?

That you came from another world.

What, you didn't believe me?

I had my doubts until now,

but that Staff of Destruction was
a weapon from your world, right?

Seeing something like that,
I have to believe you.

Hey, do you want to go back?

Well, yeah.

That makes sense.

Um, thank you.

What's up with this, so suddenly?

You're acting kinda strange today.

You saved me when I was
almost crushed by that golem.

I'm just saying thanks for that.

What are you talking about?
Of course I did.

Why?

Because I'm your familiar.

This is a surprise.

A familiar that serves as his
master's dance partner...

I've never seen anything like it!
A real surprise!

As if I were under a real magic spell

A bright smile is burnt onto my heart

But each time I see you, I give you
a pointy, cold shoulder

Why do I act mean towards the one
that I think about the most?

My true feelings,
the shards of loneliness

In the deepest part of my heart,
I'm calling for you

For the day to start from zero

At the request of the Princess,

we hid our social status to find out
what's going on in the city.

Just you watch.

I'll uncover the injustices of
the city one after another!
