Zero No Tsukaima Season 1 Episode 4 A Maid's Crisis
- July 23, 2006
Louise, the mage of zero, has a problem with her clothes, specifically her panties. She insists that her maid Siesta is responsible for losing them. In order to teach Siesta a lesson, she casts a spell on her that makes her body grow until she becomes a giant. This causes chaos in the academy and everyone is afraid of the giant maid.
Meanwhile, Saito is training with swordsman Guiche and trying to learn more about this world he has been magically transported to. They are approached by Kirche, who invites them to her room. There, she reveals her interest in Saito and offers him a potion that she promises will improve his performance in battle. Saito is hesitant at first, as he doesn't want to be involved in any romantic drama, but eventually agrees to take the potion.
Back to the situation with Siesta, Kirche confronts Louise and tells her that she should be nicer to her maids. She also offers to help find Louise's missing panties, which Louise gratefully accepts. Together, they search the academy and eventually find the missing undergarments. However, the whole ordeal has made Louise realize that she may have been too harsh on Siesta and apologizes for her behavior.
As the episode comes to a close, Saito experiences the effects of the potion Kirche gave him, but not in the way he expected. He becomes incredibly thirsty and starts running around looking for water to drink. Eventually, he finds himself at a fountain where he drinks and drinks until he falls asleep.
Overall, "A Maid's Crisis" is a lighthearted and comedic episode that focuses on the relationships between the characters. It delves deeper into Louise's personality and shows a softer side to her as she apologizes to Siesta. Meanwhile, Saito is still trying to navigate this new world and the attention he's receiving from the female characters.
