* MasterOfUnlocking: Louise qualifies, thanks to her magic. While she can't unlock more complicated mechanisms like electronic locks, she can use a simple unlock cantrip to open any physical locks she comes across. This comes in handy both when escaping from Wolfpack, allowing them to open areas they otherwise wouldn't be able to go, and find shelter.
to:
* MagicWand: Halkegenian mages use foci in order to use magic. It doesn't have to strictly be a magic wand, just something that the mage has formed an emotional connection to. Many mages, including Professor Colbert and Tabitha, use staves instead of wands, while magic knights tend to use sword wands for the extra combat effectiveness. Should a mage lose or not have their foci in hand, they cannot use magic at all until they make a new one. [[spoiler:A fact that Delta Team takes full advantage of when they disarm Louise of her magic wand, depriving her of her magic entirely.]]

While Julio is uncertain that Louise's Void magic, and those of the other two unlocated Void mages, will be enough to counteract Earth's technological superoity, Pope Vittorio believes otherwise.]]

Added DiffLines:
* ShoutOut: Plenty of references to both late 1990s America and other zombie media are made throughout the story:
** Before the outbreak, Louise and Saito see Film/SavingPrivateRyan in a movie theater, as its theatrical release date was around that time. Saito also mentions other movies releasing around then as well, including Film/Armageddon and Film/TheMaskofZorro.
** At one point, Saito and Louise take shelter in a Blockbuster.
** In the chapter where Saito and Louise cut through the Raccoon City Mall, the chapter itself is titled Videogame/DeadRising. Film/DawnOfTheDead is also namedropped.

* StopOrIShootMyself: Louise does this [[spoiler:after Delta Team catches up to her and Saito in the Raccoon City Mall, disarms her of her wand, and nearly kill Saito. She does this to prevent them from kidnapping her and releasing their own hostage in Saito, and since Delta Team's mission is to recover Louise alive and unharmed, the threat has teeth.]]
Added DiffLines:
** Saito and Louise do not have neither the training nor experience to go toe to toe against U.S.S. Delta Team. When Saito tries to actually fight VECTOR, he loses badly and is nearly killed.
* SummonBiggerFish: In order to escape from Delta Team at the Raccoon City Mall, Louise [[spoiler:ends up pulling the fire alarm, thus attracting all of the nearby zombies and forcing the mercenaries to deal with them instead of kidnapping her and Saito. It works, allowing her and Saito to barely escape.]]

* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. Saito has to take the time to individually load each bullet into a magazine prior to use, and no matter how much ammo he currently has on hand, he's limited by the number of physical magazines he has.
* DeterminedDefeatist: After learning that Reconquista has successfully conquered Albion, killed Prince Wales, and are heavily implied to be searching for the love letter Henrietta sent to him, Henrietta develops this mindset. She comes to believe that her impending political marriage with Germania's Emperor is about to be called off, and her reign as Tristain's sovereign monarch will be tragically cut short. Other than a brief lapse into grief and despair upon receiving the news, Henrietta instead decides that she has nothing left to lose, and so puts everything she has into being as effective a ruler as she can possibly be in the meantime, starting with ensuring that her friend Louise is safely brought home.
** Another one happens when Louise and Saito run into United States Special Forces Team Echo Six, who immediately try to get them an evac chopper out of the city upon learning of their situation. Unfortunately, USS Delta Team intercepts and attacks, forcing Saito and Louise to run deeper into the city in an effort to avoid capture while Echo Six covers them.
* ImplacableMan: It doesn't matter how much you throw at it, a Tyrant will not stop for anything until you are dead. Echo Six learns this the hard way during their first engagement with one, forcing them to retreat.
* NiceHat: The Tyrant that attacks Echo Six and Wolfpack is wearing a fedora alongside a power limiter functioning as a BadassLongcoat. When Caroline Floyd shoots the fedora off the Tyrant, it even seems to get annoyed and picks up the pace when going after them.
* OneBulletClips: Averted. Saito is very careful to keep hold on all of his magazines, as they're a major limitation to how much ammunition he can use in any given engagement.

* RealityEnsues:
** Saito, his parents, and Louise are untrained civilians who've never seen combat before outside of movies. While they're able to get the drop on a team of Umbrella mercenaries, Delta Team are still highly trained and well-armed soldiers. As such, Saito's parents can only give them a few seconds of reprieve for Saito and Louise to make their escape.
** Saito doesn't have anything to store his baseball bat in when not in use. This makes firing a handgun at zombies difficult, being forced to both aim and reload with one hand.
** He had also never fired a gun before in his life, so he wasn't the most accurate with his shots as several either hit nothing or impacted uselessly against the zombies' chests.
** Electronic locks are far more complicated than mechanical locks, and Louise hasn't had the time to properly understand how they work. As such, her simple unlock cantrip doesn't do anything to them. She does theorize, however, that with enough time and knowledge she could devise one, but time is a luxury she can't afford so she has to open them the hard way.

** Neither Louise nor Saito have the upper body strength to use a hunting crossbow effectively, not to mention the sheer ease of use in using a gun versus a clunky and slow to fire crossbow makes using the primitive weapon impractical. As such, despite finding one in a sporting goods store, they're forced to leave it behind.
* TerminatorImpersonator: The T-103 Tyrants are hulking, emotionless, biological monstrosities that can take nearly anything thrown at them with barely even receiving a reaction in response. Just one of them crashing into the intense firefight between Echo Six and Wolfpack is enough to got both teams scrambling to get away.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Kirche says this practically word for word when trying to placate a nervous Sylphid regarding their upcoming mission. As she puts it, both Kirche herself and Tabitha are powerful and skilled mages who should be able to handle nearly anything sent their way, and combined with the rest of the party they are going with they should be fine (unless they run into an elf, but she doesn't think this is likely). Unfortunately for Kirche, she is ''dead'' wrong as immediately proven when the scene cuts to Saito and Louise fighting off a bunch of zombies.

** [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Halkegenia isn't free from this either, although theirs hasn't started yet and is of natural causes. Underneath the entire continent, windstones have been growing unchecked for thousands of years, and humanity's technology or magic isn't enough to stop their overaccumulation. As such, once the windstones reach critical mass, the entire continent will split apart and rise into the atmosphere, just as the floating island of Albion did. Unlike Albion, however, most will not have enough windstones to stay afloat, and will inevitably come crashing down. Those who survive will inevitably go to war for the remaining scare resources, potentially driving humanity into extinction. The Halkegenian Church, or at least the upper echelons, is very much aware of the danger and is the reason why they assisted Tristain in getting Louise back from Earth. Especially since Halkegenia is set to reach critical mass in a few years. Unfortunately, their solution isn't stopping the oncoming Windstone Crisis from occurring, it's instead to launch a crusade to reclaim the Holy Land, which in actuality is Earth.]]

** Louise comes to believe this after she and Saito have a chance to process everything that happened to them after Delta Team/Wolfpack broke into their apartment, seemingly killed Saito's parents, and tried to kidnap her. She feels that, had the Hiragas not taken her in out of the kindness of their hearts, the Umbrella Corporation wouldn't have hurt them. She even tells Saito to go on without her so as to save himself, but Saito quickly dissuades her of those thoughts.

* NothingIsScarier: While escaping from Wolfpack, Saito and Louise take shelter inside an abandoned diner. Inside, they find that all the booths and chairs were piled up against the windows to serve as a makeshift barricade, with pools of blood on the ground, and a mangled corpse of a woman near a broken skylight. There is no indication as to what killed her.

Louise's summoning of her familiar was supposed to be the ultimate, final proof that she was truly a mage. But, instead she somehow found herself in a place called Raccoon City on an entirely different world. A world where magic didn't exist, and when that world falls apart, she and the boy who was supposed to be her familiar must fight for their lives against the evil around them.
From the writer of ''Fanfic/HuntersOfJustice'' and ''Fanfic/DustAndEchoes'', ''Familiar Evil'' is a crossover between ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' and ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''; more specifically ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake.'' During the Familiar Summoning Ritual, Louise accidentally sent herself to Racoon City. After a brief period in the hospital, she was taken by the Hiraga family, who let her stay with them.
