Chise and Selkie climb aboard a dragon's back to meet Lindel, to have her own mage's staff made. Frustrated by Chise's acceptance of her being kept as a pet by Elias, he describes the time he found Elias in the darkness. Meanwhile, Elias, who had stayed at home by himself, receives a letter from a sorcerer's college.
It's not as if we asked to be loved.
.ليس وكأنّنا نطلب بأن نُحَبّ
Ich habe mir nie gewünscht,
so geliebt zu werden.
No es como si pidiéramos ser amados.
No es como si pidiéramos ser amados.
Je ne leur ai jamais demandé
de m’aimer, moi.
Non siamo stati noi
a desiderare di essere amati.
Não é como se pedíssemos para sermos amados.
Мы вовсе не просили о том, 
чтобы нас любили.
