Chise, an orphan shunned by society, has been sold into slavery. A mage named Elias Ainsworth bids 5 million pounds to win the auction, and adopts Chise. He brings her to the house and announces she is to be his apprentice. He asks 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, he appears, having known what the fairies were planning and using the opportunity to show Chise a magical creatures idea of “help”. Elias wishes for Chise to become his wife and apprentice.
