Despite a few inconveniences, like being unable to go outside when she wanted, young Emilia lived a happy life in a settlement of elves with Fortuna, whom she lovingly called "Mother." However, their peace was threatened by the arrival of the Sin Archbishop of the Witch's Cult representing Greed, Regulus Corneas. In the present, Shima appears before Subaru and the others as they wait outside the graveyard for Emilia to complete the trial, and she tells them of the events leading up to the birth of the Sanctuary.
A great, unforgettable debt to the 
people who made me what I am.
دَين عظيم لا يُنسى للأشخاص الذين
جعلوني ما أنا عليه
Eine große, unvergessliche Schuld an die,
die mich zu dem gemacht haben, was ich bin.
Tengo una deuda
con los que me hicieron ser yo mismo.
Tengo una deuda
con los que me hicieron ser yo mismo.
J’ai une dette éternelle envers ceux
qui ont fait de moi ce que je suis…
Un debito immenso verso coloro che mi hanno reso 
la persona che sono, un debito che non posso dimenticare.
Uma grande e inesquecível dívida com
as pessoas que me tornaram o que sou...
Мой долг, огромный неоплатный долг
 перед ними обоими!
