Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Luise and Saito's BelligerentSexualTension is noticeably toned down in comparison to both the light novel and anime. Since Luise was not raised as a noble, she doesn't treat Saito as a servant or as someone beneath her and only acts harsh towards him initially because she was conned earlier, didn't want to have her trusted exploited again, and because they needed to get out of a dangerous area. Luise also feels guilty for plucking Saito from his home at the start and searching for the means to send him home becomes one of her goals at the start of the story. Their relationship develops from a FireForgedFriendship to a partnership and finally to love interests.


Added DiffLines:

* FireForgedFriends: Saito and Luise's relationship starts out this way. Although they initially didn't get along after Luise summoned him as her familiar, after surviving their first fight against an enemy, Luise sincerely offers to start over with Saito as partners rather than being a mage and familiar, which Saito accepts.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Cardinal. He gives a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Karin over acting irrationally after losing two of her daughters, and cites losing his father over it as a reason to stay mad at her. Meanwhile, he mocks her over losing both of them, he indirectly caused yearly instability and refugee situations in Tristain over the incursions from Germania, bonus points for making the crown look weak as well in that regard, and failed to reconcile more than a [[WhatAnIdiot few gaping holes in his roundabout plan.]] And he does it out of pure petty revenge over his father. He acts out of personal hurt, and lets several things get worse than they should be, making his criticism of Karin feel a tad off.
