Yuji and Shana continue their training while Wilhelmina continues her research on both the Reiji Maigo and the silver flame. Wilhelmina decides that they cannot keep these matters from Margery Daw as they definitely will need her help if Pheles appears.

At the school, the class representatives are in their costumes and they are ready to begin their parade. At Margery Daw’s place, Wilhelmina says something to Margery Daw which immediately changes her mood entirely. Wilhelmina pulls Margery Daw to the parade, but wants her to wait until later to tell her about the Reiji Maigo and the silver flame. Margery seeing Sato and Tanaka cools off her anger.

I’m surprised Margery Daw looked so calm while standing in the crowd or even agreed to go with Wilhelmina. We never find out what she told Margery, but I can guess she said something about the silver flame.

After the parade, the crew start working at the Crepe stand. Wilhelmina and Margery show up and sample the Crepes. They then start enjoying the festival’s variety from the other classes. In a private moment, Yoshida confesses her love to Yuji and tells him that she wants to be with him, but wants to wait for the day he makes his choice between her and Shana. Their moment is interrupted by the announcement that Shana, Yoshida, and Yuji have been nominated for best costume. At another location, Konoe is enjoying a snack, but she becomes alert when she senses the wind that Pheles is generating.

Yuji just sat there and didn’t really say anything, but I guess he didn’t get a chance to due to the announcement. All part of the plan to keep the love triangle tension up. But come on. Shana and Yuji are going to end up together with the way things are, unless she ends up dying at the end. And Konoe sensing the wind? I didn’t realize that she realized the wind until I watched the episode again when writing this summary/review. Very suspicious indeed.

At the stage with all the nominees, Shana ends up winning best costume for the girls. She grabs the microphone and directs her message to Yuji. Yuji is taken back for a second and at that moment, a tornado is created that blows everyone away as Pheles appears inside the tornado overlooking Yuji.

For some reason, Pheles’ entrance with the epic choir music reminded me of Sephiroth. Everytime he makes an appearance, so does his theme song. Same thing here. Pheles shows up, roll the music. And I knew Pheles was that green-haired chick in the opening intro scene.
