Episode Title:
Lise's Confession
Episode Description:
Yulicia realises the man, Rikuto, is an illusion from Lieselotte’s sword showing Kurt as a 20 year old, though Kurt is oblivious to this. Mimico reports Akuri’s DNA is human but her fingernails contain crystals attuned for ancient teleportation magic. The imprisoned demon woman admits she needs to rescue Hildegard, who is imprisoned by Margrave Taicone, and that she had hoped to use Akuri’s teleportation magic to do it. Mimico agrees they will rescue Hildegard as long as the woman stays at the Atelier. The woman reveals her name is Solflare. Phantom reports there is a room in Taicone’s mansion only he can open, so if Hildegard is there they will need to trick Taicone into opening the door. They plan to break in during a three day festival, with Lieselotte deciding to take Kurt on a date on the first day while Yulicia gets the second day, then rescue Hildegard on the third. On day one with Lieselotte Kurt admits he has only ever been to festivals as a maintenance worker, so Lieselotte ensures they spend all day having fun. With Kurt all happy Lieselotte plans to confess, only for Kurt to spot Taicone’s castle nearby. With the mood gone Lieselotte settles for telling Kurt she and everyone at the Atelier deeply respect him and will continue working alongside him.
