1 | "Memory Snow" | Masaharu Watanabe | Masahiro Yokotani | October 13, 2018 | [73] | |
Shortly after the Mabeast incident, Subaru goes the Village, looking for a spot for his date with Emilia, and chooses a hidden flower patch. Over the following days, the weather gets surprisingly colder, forcing the date to be postponed, though Emilia doesn't appear to be bothered by it. Subaru wakes up the next day to find the mansion frozen over by Puck, currently releasing all of his excess ice magic, with Emilia and Beatrice helping confine it to the mansion. To avoid freezing, Subaru suggests staying outside in the normal weather, but is halted by rain. He fails to find options to stay warm or quickly release the rest of Puck's magic, and as the ice is turning the rain outside into snow, he decides to host a Snow Festival, inviting the villagers to take part in a snow sculpture competition. While everyone has fun with the snow, Subaru tries to convince a recluse Beatrice to join, and eventually succeeds with Puck's help. Afterwards, the mansion residents celebrate with an afterparty, in which Emilia and Rem get drunk. Subaru talks to Beatrice about the constellations in the stars, revealing he got his name from one of them. While the rest of the group marvel at the snow spirits, Puck releases his remaining magic, sharing the snowfall with the rest of the people in the Capital. As Beatrice heads back inside, Roswaal pokes fun at her for not drinking because of Subaru's request. As the snow melts, Emilia and Puck reflect on Subaru's wish to host the festival again next year, though wondering if he'll still be with them then. She then meets Subaru outside as they head to the flower patch for their date. Note: This OVA takes place between episodes 11 and 12 of the anime television series.[72] | ||||||
2 | "The Frozen Bond" Transliteration: "Hyōketsu no Kizuna" (Japanese: 氷結の絆) | Masaharu Watanabe | Masahiro Yokotani | November 8, 2019 | [74] | |
Shortly after her date with Subaru, Emilia reflects upon her history with Puck. In the past, Emilia saves a family from a Snow Blight, but they fearfully run away, as she resembles the Witch of Envy, and accidentally froze the father's arm. Emilia lives by herself in a frozen forest, occasionally heading to the nearby village for supplies. Puck frequently visits, and the two have fun together. One day, a group of villagers approach Emilia, saying that the village committed a crime by trading with a demi-human, and that she must give up her body to them or else they'll be punished; she reluctantly agrees. A Snow Blight suddenly attacks, and Emilia defeats it, but once again loses control of her magic and starts freezing the men. Puck stops her, and scares the men off. Waking up, Emilia returns to the village, and is ordered to never return. She reveals her identity, and instructs them not to enter the forest. The leader of the men, Chap, tries to get revenge on Emilia, but fails when Puck threatens him again; a red orb consumes Chap afterwards. Puck convinces Emilia to make a contract with lesser spirits, which she agrees to. Puck is later confronted by the red orb, which turns out to be Melakuera the Arbitrator, blaming Emilia for the unnaturally frozen forest, though Puck claims responsibility. Emilia, accompanied by her new spirits, discover a large black mass, revealed to be the Black Serpent's venom, starting to head to the village. Puck tries to stop it, but is halted by Melakuera, leading to a battle between the two. Emilia tries to divert the mass, but gets engulfed by it. Through her magic and the spirits' help, she completely freezes it. Her spirits are then destroyed by Chap, who's become a new vessel for Melakuera to act out his revenge. Emilia calls on Puck for help, who defeats Chap. Puck then reveals to Emilia that she is a half-elf, leading her to believe that she is the cause of the frozen forest. Melakuera appears to confirm this, trapping her in his flames. Puck rebukes that the black mass attack was orchestrated by Melakuera just to draw Emilia out, with him claiming it to be "fate". Puck then asks Emilia to form a contract with him; she's afraid to since she's worried he'll leave her, but he insists he never will, so she accepts. Transforming into his true form, the two beasts battle, and Puck wins. Puck and Emilia watch the sunset as she asks why he formed a contract with her now. He claims that he was not allowed to do so before because of his "oath", but felt that it was worth breaking. In the present, Emilia sees Subaru cleaning up their snow sculpture as it starts to melt. Subaru comments that there's no such thing as snow that doesn't melt, which causes Emilia to feel elated, thinking back to her forest, with Puck silently agreeing. Note: The present day scenes of this OVA take place between episodes 11 and 12 of the anime television series and almost immediately following Memory Snow, but mostly focuses on flashback events that occur before the first season.[72] |
