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.
But, half of it is as punishment for that

 maldito, por entristecer sua filha.
Ещё я расскажу её, чтобы наказать 
мерзавца за то, что огорчил мою внучку.
