Summary

"Let's Play! Rider Modulation!!"

Tassel: Bonne lecture! My name is Tassel.

Who would've guessed that he'd show such skillful mastery of Arthur's power!
Should he even keep his job as a novelist with talent like that?

Episode Tropes:

• Condescending Compassion: Legeiel grabs Storious by the front of his clothes in suspicion of Storious' ulterior motives and he is given a pat on the cheek coupled with a sugary Now, now. as one would to a child throwing a tantrum.

• Not So Above It All: The amazingly condescending pat on the cheek that Storious gives Legeiel implies that he might not as devoid of pettiness as it seemed.
• Power of Friendship: Touma says that all is well when they're together.
• Wham Episode: It turns out this Calibur wasn't Hayato at all, but rather someone else.

Tassel: How intriguing. Just who is Calibur?
It seems that there is a mystery behind all this.
I wonder what secrets are still being hidden?
