“Tabitha’s Younger Sister”
“Tabasa no Imōto” (タバサの妹)

The Ondine Knights are searching for evidences when a nude girl drops from the sky onto Malicorne, then she hugs Saito. Louise sends Saito to the ground with a kick in the groin; she then asks the girl why she is naked. The girl introduces herself as Illococoo. She talks about saving her older sister, soon revealed to be Tabitha. Illococoo describes how Tabitha was taken as a traitor and stripped of her chevalier title and how Tabitha’s mother was also arrested. Tabitha tried to save her mother, but was captured in the process. When Illococoo asks for help, Malicorne and Saito volunteer promptly, but the others doubt her status as Tabitha’s younger sister (Tabitha is pretty flat-chested and Illococoo has large breasts). Illococoo thinks about obtaining proof and rushes out the door. The Ondine Knights rush out as well, only to find that Illococoo has vanished. Not long after, Sylphid appears and testifys for Illococoo. Saito, Guiche, Malicorne, and Louise go to Henrietta to ask for permission to go and rescue Tabitha in Gallia, which she denies on the grounds that as her personal knights, if Tabitha is rescued by the Ondine Knights, as she is still considered a criminal, the rescue could be perceived as an act of aggression on Tristan’s part. In response, Saito, Guiche, and Malicorne resign as knights in order not to trouble Tristan, and Henrietta responds by having them arrested. Illococoo warns the others about impending arrest. Louise asks Henrietta what she thinks of Saito as a man…not a chevalier, and Henrietta admits that she is not sure if she has fallen for Saito or simply needs someone to lean on. Louise declares she will help Tabitha as she renounces her nobility. Henrietta has no choice but to arrest her too. After trying, unsuccessfully, to dig their way out of the prison with spoons, the four prisoners are rescued by Kirche and Colbert. Derflinger forces Illococoo to reveal that she is really Sylphid, a nature dragon that can assume human form.
