Stella visits Chise with her payment of sweets. Elias, irritated by Stella, runs away. Chise finds him hiding in a shadow but becomes worried as he restrains her and seems to want to bite her. As Stella returns to London both Ashen Eye and Cartaphilius are seen nearby. Chise becomes afraid Elias may be about to eat her and sends a distress signal to Ruth. Ruth is helped by the fairy daughter of the Dark Lady who shows him which shadow Elias is hiding in. Chise realises Elias is jealous of Stella and having a childish temper tantrum. As his grip tightens she gets angry and threatens to stab herself, causing him to suddenly let go. Elias admits he became afraid Chise would leave. Chise and Elias later sleep in the same bed where she sings him a lullaby. Chise later visits Angelica, worried that Elias has not woken up for several days. Angelica suggests Chise may have accidentally sung a spell into the lullaby. Chise brews a remedy and, rather comically, forces Elias to swallow it, waking him up before she again passes out from magical exhaustion. In the land of dragons two young dragons are kidnapped from Lindel by Cartaphilius.
