Elias teaches Chise more about how to wield all the magic she absorbs and generates, and she helps Elias with a few tasks that have been given to him. Chise uses more of her power than she should, which causes her to lose consciousness for several days while her body recovers. While unconscious, she is visited by Titania and Oberon. The queen of fairies teases the Thorn Mage for his attachment to Chise, especially knowing the price her special powers will exact on her. Later, Chise and Elias travel to a church where a grim dog is potentially causing problems. Grims often guard cemeteries, but left alone too long, they can turn violent. Chise finds more than just a grim haunting this cemetery, and a major villain is finally revealed.

Yukko, Alice, and Genda-San finally make their way to Yukko’s school and meet up with her boyfriend, who cannot stomach what’s happened to them. He takes them home and hides them from the searching eyes of cats and rats, under the control of the ominous Iosef. While the group recuperates, they learn more about how they became shrunken in the first place. Meanwhile, the military is continuing to hunt down Alice and goes after Yukko, her boyfriend, and many others.
This story opens up with Chise being purchased for an insane amount of money. She is immediately whisked away by her new owner, Ainsworth, who is an ancient mage and plans to train Chise as his apprentice. Ainsworth reveals Chise is a "Sleigh Beggy," a human who can absorb and use vast amounts of magic. Other magical creatures are drawn to Chise, and she learns of faeries, dragons, and other mythical creatures. Chise's tragic background has given her some major trust issues, and she can't believe that Ainsworth and his few friends actually treat her well. She decides to learn as much as she can from Ainsworth and try to make him proud of her, but she's also waiting for her comfortable life to be ripped away from her.
