I can't recall the name of it, but I do remember one magic themed anime managed to do that, by having a magical accident that created a bunch of clones of the main guy, more than enough for each of the girls to have their own one.

For what it's worth, that was Maburaho. Somehow I don't see that happening here though.

Well that wasn't really a polygamy ending as the guy split into ten lol, what i mean is that it's just one guy and all the girls just suddenly decide hey let's share him

[-Breakthrough-]

Hmm, hope they'll animate some parts of the Tabitha Gaiden. Oh and question ,

By Semi ero scenes, can someone describe to me clearly what Henrietta and Siesta did to Saito in the novels?

well,

Spoiler:

Attempted rape is not too far off.
They are both very aggressive girls.

...Why, Saito's romance saga (lol) before he became Louise's loyal slave past vol.8, of course.

You can see what I mean about Siesta here (it was vol.7, not 6. Bad memory )

As for Henrietta... I covered a little bit of that in my vol.5 summary post earlier in that thread as well.
But just to be a cheap spoiler, and as a one time service, I'll pick out the juicy part and translate a couple of pages from it:

Spoiler:

(The story follows Henrietta after she snuck out from the palace and bumped into Saito inside the city. Together, they (well, Henrietta) disguised themselves as commoners, and hid inside a room of a run-down hotel nearby in order to escape from the persuing guards)



At that moment......
Thump thump thump!
Someone banged on the door strongly.

"Open up! Open this door! We're with the imperial army patrol! A criminal is on the run, so we're searching all the inns in this area! Open this door now!"

Saito and Henreitta looked at each other.

"They must be looking for me"

"......Let's ride it out. Keep quiet"

Henrietta lowered her head and nodded, but......
Soon, the door knob began to turn. However...... since the door is locked, it would not open. Clack, clack! The knob began to shake violently.

"Open this door up now! This is an emergency, we'll break this door down if we have to!"

Crack! The sound of the door knob being broken by a sword hilt or something was heard.

"This won't do"

With a determined face, Henrietta began to unbutton her shirt.

"Princess?"

Knowing he would make a surprised sound was exactly why Henrietta pushed her own lips onto Saito's. It was a sudden and intense kiss. After she crossed her arms around Saito's neck, who is confused and shaken, Henrietta pushed him down onto the bed. Next, Henrietta closed her eyes and pushed her hot breath and tongue into Saito's mouth. It was a kiss so intense, it made one's mind foggy.

Henrietta pushing Saito down onto the bed occurred at the exact same moment the soldiers smashed the knob and kicked the door open.

What the two soldiers saw was...... The body of a woman riding on top of a man, sucking intensely on his lips. The woman is so out of it, she pays no attention to the soldiers who have entered. Sighs of love continued to leak out from the gaps between the lips of the two.

The soldiers stood still and watched them for a while, but...... eventually, one of them muttered.

"......Geez, we're trying to catch someone in the rain here, and you people are enjoying yourselves?"

"Don't complain, Pierre. When this is over, let's go have a round of drinks"

And then, slam! They closed the door and disappeared downstairs. The door with a broken knob opened again slighly with a creak.

Henrietta moved her lips away, but...... even after the soldiers have left the inn, she continued to gaze at Saito with moist eyes.

Against Henrietta's sudden actions, Saito was caught completely off guard. He felt strongly that Henrietta was prepared to sacrifice even her own body if she needed to during her acts tonight.

With a flushed face, Henrietta continued to gaze at Saito.

"......Princess"

Henrietta said in a painful voice.

"I believe I have already asked you to call me Ann"

"But......" Saito said, before his lips were forced onto again. This time, it was a gentle...... affectionate kiss. Amidst the lamp's glow..... Henrietta's bare white shoulders jumped into the view.

Totally confused, Saito allowed Henrietta to trace her lips along the outlines of his face.

"Do you have...... a lover?"

Henrietta whispered by his ear in a hot voice. One could almost melt at that sound. Louise's face appeared within Saito's head. Louise is not a lover. But......

"No, but......"

Henrietta bit Saito's earlobes.

"Then, please treat me as you would a lover"

"W, what are you......!"

"Just for tonight. I am not telling you to become my lover. Just, hold me tight...... and kiss me, please......"

Feeling almost as if time itself has stopped....... Several overwhelming minutes passed by.

The room is filled with moisture thanks to the rain, and smell of other people's body odor drifted from the bedsheet.

Saito gazed at Henrietta's eyes. Even within such a dirty room...... Henrietta's beauty is dazzling. No, maybe this room is exactly what makes her shine.

You could almost drown within that attractiveness. But...... if he were to kiss Henrietta any more than this...... Louise would probably never forgive him. Not only that, she would be sad too. Henrietta is the person who Louise looks up to the most, that's why.

That can't happen.

Towards somone important to the person important to him...... he cannot just pretend to be her lover and kiss her. That would only make Henrietta lonely. There should be other ways to comfort her.

That's why Saito gently stroked Henrietta's light chestnut-coloured hair.

"I cannot become your prince"

"No one asked you to become such a thing"

"You know this already, right? I am from another world. That is why...... I cannot become... the replacement of someone from this world."

Henrietta closed her eyes, and laid her head onto Saito's chest.

As she did that...... the heat appears to have slowly withdrawn...... Henrietta whispered shyly.

"......Please don't think of me as an immodest woman. Even though they call me a queen...... I am still a woman. There are nights when I long for the warmth of someone."

For a while...... Henrietta continued to lay her head against Saito's chest. Inside probably the cheapest lodging house in the city, the most noble woman of the country is trembling within my arms like a child. At that thought, Saito laughed bitterly at the ironic pairing.

Halfway through, I realized if I stopped without covering the "aftermath", it would only make Henrietta look like a.... well, you know, what Srin Tuar said.

Siesta and Henrietta = my two favorite characters.... I wonder why?

This is exactly why I wish I can read Japanese and have the damn novels in my possession right now.

[Darco_emp]

^ Chinese will do in my case, until Vol. 10 and Tabasa gaiden, in which is when i use dictionary and Kanji as a key to read the novels .

Vol. 7 seems to be a good final stopping point, but for some reason I throught its better to let vol. 7 to be the half way point maybe. Speaking of Semi-ero scences what about the enactment from "Maid's Afternoon" by Siesta and Seito , too bad chance of that shown is zero.

[Fixen]

Now that's a different story for me...where do you get the Chinese volumes?

[-Breakthrough-]

Thanks for the Info Sushi-Y ^__^ Makes me wonder why Saito can't just go for either girls XD

On the net I'm assuming, since the HK release is slow , try here

http://bbs.dmzj.com/thread-htm-fid-191.html

The zero fans finished translating Vol. 10 last night, I cant belive it only took only 1 week, It could saved me all the trouble reading it in Japanese...

Bow to those Chinese translators. God knows they're the hardest working nutjobs (praise) in the world.

I loled at the vol.11 info thread though. As interesting as the development was, unless Yamaguchi-sensei is actually Kawakami Minoru (Owari no Chronicle's author. The 1091 page final volume was written within a month from the previous volume) in disguise, it's practically impossible for a whole volume to be written within such a short time from the last one. Certain parts of the development doesn't feel right either (Saito is not the kind of person who would suggest assassinations, and it makes no sense for Galia to fall so easily after building Josef up for so long).

[Fixen]

Hmm...looks like I can help with some translation.

Yeah...Chinese translators are real fanatics. Back when I was translating for Negima, the group that I got the Chinese scans from can release a chapter in less than a day after the Japanese release. That includes translating, cleaning, typesetting, and QC. The quality is quite acceptable too (not LQ but I won't say HQ).

Thanks for the link!

[Darco_emp]

I doubt that Vol 11 spoiler will become true too but its was fun read, since i doublt another war to break out so soon, then is just more side quests maybe the antidote to the water poison that Tabasa's mother recived or something thing

[-Breakthrough-]

Oh and if I can, a quick question, who's that rather cute onee-chan version of Tabitha in the Tabitha Gaiden? Don't know her name exactly and much about her.

That's Sylphid (Tabitha's dragon)'s human form. Her name in human form is Irukuku.
First appeared in Tabitha Gaiden, but recently made her appearance (in human form, that is) in vol.10 of the main novel as well.

Refers to Tabitha as "Oneesama".

DAmn it. IF only my chinese reading speed at 1 character in 2 seconds can be increased, I will definitely go for them.

I cant enter the chinese site.....

[-Breakthrough-]

Tabitha's Familiar can transform into a human, huh? Makes me wonder-think the other familiars will have soon to be revealed human forms soon enough? Plus, it would be funny if in one point durring the novels, Saito literally transofrmed into an Inu, better yet, a cerebus =3

[Sushi-Y]

Probably not, it's only because Sylphie happens to be quite a special one...

Spoiler:

Unlike other summoned creatures, Sylphie belongs to a legendary class of dragon called rhyme dragons (韻竜, inryuu), which was believed to be long extinct. Unlike regular dragons, a rhyme dragon is highly intelligent, and capable of understanding and speaking the human language. Also, besides being far more powerful than regular dragons, rhyme dragons also have the ability to use "native magics", a class of powerful ancient magic that are used by the fearsome elves as well.

Sylphie's human form is the result of one of those native magics. An illusion, to be exact.

If people were to find out about Sylphie's true identity, she would be locked up as a valuable specimen for sure. That's why Tabitha ordered her to pretend to be a regular wind dragon in public, and to only speak when nobody else is around.

[Haru~]
