The episode starts out with everyone waiting for the Reiji Maigo to restore itself at midnight. The reason for this is to detect what kind of problem the Reiji Maigo is having. However, Shana is missing. Shana has gone to pick up Yoshida so that she can be part of everything that’s going on. Once there, Margery casts her observation spells on Yuji.

In order for the observation to work, Yuji must transfer some of his energy to restore the energy Pheles lost during battle. Once completed, Margery was able to detect a spell that had been placed with the Reiji Maigo. Most likely from Sabrac. Margery doesn’t know for sure, so it’s another mystery to deal with.

They still made time to play on the love themes between Shana and Yoshida in this scene when Pheles leans into Yuji. Shana, of course, immediately draws out her sword confident that heads will roll if anything more happens. As for the detection, Margery has no idea what’s going on, which means this whole scene was more or less useless. Why bother with it all? Well, the next part might explain.

That night, Yoshida makes a request with Pheles. Her request was to have Pheles join her for the school festival so that Pheles would see how important the time she spends with Yuji it is to her. Shana volunteers to accompany the two. Yuji and Wilhelmina observe the festival from above. He learns more about Pheles and Johan. It turns out Johan was an orphan that Pheles decided to raise. Johan grew up and Pheles and Johan started having feelings towards each other. The festival reminds Pheles of when Johan first told Pheles that all he wanted was her. This is probably when the decision was made to convert Johan into a Mystes and fit him with the Reiji Maigo.

So if Pheles adopted Johan to raise him, doesn’t that make Johan an equivalent of Oedipus Rex? I don’t care if he’s not actually related, but I guess that’s the only way to make their relationship work. Not sure how they managed to create the Reiji Maigo, but at least we get the origin of the Reiji Maigo.

At the end of the day, Pheles thanks everyone for all the things they’ve done for her such as Margery detection of the Reiji Maigo’s defect, Shana not killing her, and Yoshida for showing her around. Then in a twist, Pheles explodes revealing that the Pheles they were in contact with was just a fragment of the real one used to search for the Reiji Maigo. Once found, the real Pheles would come in to take over. The real Pheles summons forth Johan to come out. Instead, an armored arm comes out impaling Pheles. On the ground, Konoe and her butler again have their bracelets sparkling, which means they are definitely up to no good.

Now that’s a crazy way to end the episode and to leave things on a cliffhanger. Again Pheles acts all high and mighty, and then what happens? She’s impaled and most likely will be incapacitated by next episode. And finally, Konoe is now officially a bad guy.. er.. bad girl. Evil. ‘Nuff said. Episode 15 is going to be crazy.
