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.
Elias is the only who's kept me nearby.
.إلياس فقط من أبقاني إلى جانبه
Nur Elias wollte mich
in seiner Nähe haben.
Elias fue el único
que me mantuvo cerca.
Elias fue el único
que me mantuvo cerca.
Elias est le seul
à m’avoir gardée à ses côtés.
Solo Elias ha voluto tenermi al suo fianco.
Elias é o único que me quer por perto.
Элиас единственный, 
кто остался рядом со мной.
