Zero no Tsukaima ~ Futatsuki no Kishi Ep5

A thieve broke into Osman’s room. Luckily, he manage to imprint a seal onto the thief’s breast. I guess this would result in a very exciting investigation for Saito. Not!

Continuing from the last episode, Eleonore and Cattleya both end up at Louise’s academy. Eleonore because she’s the tutor engaged after the students wanted to learn more about battle magic. Cattleya…. well, she can’t just let Eleonore steal the lime light right.

Obligatory scene of Siesta trying to seduce Saito. This time offering to try out Louise’s panties. Unfortunately they are interrupted by Lousie, who is looking for her familiar. Fortunately for Saito, they are interrupted by a large explosion.

Seems that there was a thief who got into Osman’s room, who stole the wind and water rubies that he was safe keeping for Osman. Of all places, Osman imprints a seal on the thief’s breast. And since there were no signs of entry or exit from the academy, the thief must have been an insider. You just need to check everybody’s breast right?

Saito gets assigned to check out Louise’s sisters, since they know earth magic, which was what the thief used. He somehow decides that sneaking is the best way to do it. Of course Eleonore catches him in the act, and gives him some well deserved whipping.

 Cattleya catches Saito too, but this time so does Louise. But just as she’s about to whip him using a new whip, an explosion is heard from Cattleya’s room.

Cutting a long story short. Cattleya is initially suspected, since she knew earth magic, and she coincidentally had an injury to her breast. But Eleonore steps in, and the thieve is revealed to be Michelle, Agnes’ vice captain.

In fact, Agnes had already suspected that it was there was a traitor in her midst. After some questioning, Michelle reveals that her parents had committed suicide after her father was falsely accused of corruption. It was Richemont who had taken her in after that, and who had asked her to steal the rubies. But Agnes reveals that it was in fact Richemont who had caused Michelle’s father to be falsely accused in the first place.

Thoughts

I loved the humour in this episode, especially the scene where Louise was asking Saito if he knew what she was thinking, just before whipping him. (of course… Louise asking Saito to strip first just adds to it)

Siesta is getting to be just extra. Her scenes are not that funny, and seem to be an utter waste of time. -shrugs-

I think the blend of traditional saito x louise humor and action was very good here. Keep it up!
