Zero no Tsukaima:Memorial Book Chapter 15

Volume 22 Notes by Noboru Yamaguchi

It is surprising to say that Louise's ancestors are earthlings. The Pope’s intention is earth! But is there any place on the earth where the people of Halkeginia can live? Then the Pope says something horrible. He says that they will eliminate the earthlings and then live in a vacant land. Such a thing cannot be accepted. Then, Saito worries that everyone might die. “But I just cannot allow that. My body does not move well.”

At that time, Saito asks Delflinger to tell him the truth of the past. It was the conflict between Sasha and Brimir, the truth about Brimir’s death and how to stop the resurrection of the void. That is, Gandalfr kills his own master. This will stop the resurrection of the void.

In other words, Louise must be killed in order to stop the pope’s earth invasion. Meanwhile, Louise is told by the Pope about the truth of Lifthrasir. Lifthrasir is a person who converts his own life force into magical power and continues to supply magical power to the bearer of the void that is near him. In other words, if Lifthrasir remains active, Saito will die soon.

There is only one way to stop it. That is to restore the holy land. If you do so, you say that the runes of Lifthrasir will disappear.

In other words, if you do not conquer the earth, Saito will die. Louise decides to help the pope and move on to conquer the Earth.

And the Pope opens the gate to the earth. A large military base. The Armed Forces of Halkeginia and Elves gathered to control the Earth.

Louise tries to cast a spell. However, a staggered Saito enters the scene. But the Pope was not impatient. Saito cannot kill Louise and Louise is supposed to complete the spell to save Saito and the people of Halkeginia. However, Saito tries to stop Louise.

If you take the life of the person in charge and turn it into mental power, Louise’s spell will become even more powerful. So blown in, Luiz tries to recite that spell "Life". Saito, who saw it, is surprised. “Louise is trying to take his life and destroy the earth!” Without any power left, Saito draws his sword.

But what was surprising was that Louise began to lean towards Saito’s sword. Louise is pierced by Saito’s sword. In breathless intervals, Louise says: “Because you are a boy, you should pick the world where you were born in. But I am a woman. I couldn’t be a saint, but I'm going to die as your lover. I'm happy.“

At that moment, all bearers of the Void lost their power. The Pope's ambitions have been crushed. Louise’s death struck Saito with grief. Halkeginia doesn’t matter to him anymore.

With Louise’s body in his arms, he headed to the Ragdorian Lake. At that time, the water spirit finds the pedestal of Andari's ring from Louise‘s body. The water spirit says that the pedestal alone regained it. And it is said that it will prevent the Wind Stones from running out of control. It's easy, says the Spirit of Water.

Saito was alone. “Louise, you saved the world.” At that time, Derflinger, in exchange for his own life, resurrects Louise. Derflinger, who remembered the tragedy of 6,000 years ago, may have lived 6,000 years for this, saying this as he disappears. Saito embraces the resurrected Louise.

Louise says: “I can no longer use void magic, but you can return to the original world by using the founder's round mirror.” Saito decides to return home with the help of the Founder’s round mirror. “As of now, I don’t have Gandalfr’s power either. I will have my world back. I will be in my world again. Louise will continue to go after her work as a Saint now.” Both were convinced to part. And then, the time to separate came. Out of Louise’s mouth came the words “Take me with you”. Throwing away her public façade, what's left were her real intentions.

Saito takes Louise with him and returns to his world.
