The 18th volume of Zero no Tsukaima has brought Louise and Saito together for some very intimate action, with the fantasy love comedy the series is famous for giving way to pink fiction.
The passage with the action:
“You show me yours.” Saito’s face reddened as he shed his parker and cloak.
They faced each other, clad as they were at birth. They stretched out their arms and embraced each other tightly.
…<eye-wateringly sentimental filler redacted>…
After a long kiss, Louise felt something odd press against her. Looking down, seeing what it was, she flushed red. But with a determined expression, she spoke:
“… will you do it?”
Saito grimaced briefly and bit his lip, then smiled.
“No, it’s ok.”
“You don’t want to? But you’re a boy…”
“T-There’s no way I wouldn’t want to. But it’s too early. There’s a lot I have to do first. And…”
Presumably the pair will be going the rest of the way in future volumes (doubtless by way of a series of similarly half-cocked encounters), a canny way of drawing their protracted tsundere relationship out even further if ever there was one.
Just what effect all this has on Louise’s all-important “first-hand” status is not clear, but Saito’s reputation for unmanliness wherever his mistress is concerned is apparently well deserved to say the least.
Season 4 never seems like coming out…T_T
If following the trend, it should have came out last year July.
But now its Nov 2010, and no sign of any rumors that season 4 will ever be out for ZnT.
Do people actually like Louise??
Saito has OTHER females (oh, the Queen) so Why the heck do people put Saito and Louise together?
She’s flat, her attitude Stink and she’s just really NOT attractive!!
170 long volumes just to drag out the story… why?? MONEY! The damn author wants MONEY!!
Dear lord!
STOP this series already!
It’s D-R-A-G-G-I-N-G FOR FAR TOO LONG!
Shut the f♥♥k up.
Nah, I actually agree with this guy.
TT as long as the history progress everything is fine… TT why is the author SO slow at history telling TT…good novel neverthless
I suddenly have grown a greater desire to pick up the manga.
Novel?
Novel != Manga
louise wanted some, saito didn’t provide but in the eyes of otaku she is a slut already cause she wanted to
I think the otaku mentality is such that they don’t really mind a female character getting it on with a character they know (and possibly like). You know how each otaku supports his favorite girl to win the harem (fail) guy trophy. If the otaku virginity rage applied to all cases, a harem anime should have been the obvious target.
