In Episode 3 of "Madome," the interactions between Nephy and Zagan develop within the confines of their home. The episode begins with a morning exchange where Nephy wakes Zagan and offers him breakfast, revealing that she baked the bread herself. This surprises Zagan, who is unaccustomed to such culinary skills. He expresses his appreciation by sharing his meal with Nephy when he notices she hasn’t prepared anything for herself.
The episode leads into an extensive discussion about magic between Nephy and Zagan. Zagan explains various concepts and mechanisms of sorcery, such as magic circles, the flow of mana, and the possibility that spells can cancel or disrupt other spells. He explains to Nephy the theoretical potential for her to become a powerful sorceress, even though she initially lacks the ability to wield magic.
Later, their peaceful life is disrupted by the arrival of Chastille, Ryan, and Alfred, who are searching for the perpetrator behind the recent kidnappings. A confrontation ensues, highlighting the tensions between the practice of magic and the Church’s opposition to it. Chastille challenges Zagan with the famed Holy Sword, leading to a brief battle in which Zagan holds back to avoid harming the women.
The episode ends dramatically when Chastille suggests that Zagan fake his death to escape the Church’s pursuit, which he refuses in order to protect Nephy. This leads to a striking display of Nephy’s latent power as she intervenes to shield Zagan, revealing mystical abilities unlike traditional magic. The episode concludes with Nephy reflecting on her past and identity, while Zagan reassures her that she belongs by his side.
