Hatori Chise is a lonely teenager who has no family and is shunned by society so she sells herself into slavery. During the auction numerous mages bid large sums of money for her, only for the auction to be interrupted by a strange mage named Elias Ainsworth who immediately outbids every other buyer by bidding 5 Million Pounds. Elias brings Chise to her new home and announces she is to be his apprentice. He then forces her to bathe, during which fairies visit and reveal she is a Sleigh Beggy, a type of mage who unconsciously attracts the love of magical creatures who will help her when she is in need, though help from magical creatures may harm as easily as it helps. That night the fairies convince Chise to walk through the woods where they attempt to kidnap her to spite Elias. After Chise insists on staying with Elias, who is now her family, Elias appears, having known what the fairies were planning and using the opportunity to show Chise a magical creatures idea of “help”. As they return home Elias reveals that, as well as becoming his apprentice he hopes Chise will eventually become his wife.
