Synopsis[]
As Chise recovers from the wounds that she sustained to create the Fairy Ointment in the Fairy World, Silky does her best to keep the house clean and dreams about her past as a Banshee.
Summary[]
An astounded Chise faints moments after coughing up blood, prompting Oberon comments on the frailty of modern Sleigh Beggy. As Ruth suffers the same pain as Chise, Oberon advises him to hide in Chise's shadow, and then he convinces Elias to allow her to be treated in the Fairy World. Before leaving, Elias leaves the house in Silky's care.
Before entering the gateway into the Fairy World, Elias comments on how ironic it is that Chise once rejected entering through there, choosing to stay with Elias instead.
Sometime later, Chise wakes up in Ant Hill, where someone that Oberon calls the "Oddball doctor", Shannon the Changeling, takes care of her. Meanwhile, Elias is led by Oberon to meet with Titania, who asks Elias and Chise to stay in their realm.
Switching over to Chise and Shannon, they walk somewhere while talking about Shannon's clinic and Chise's relationship with Elias. They're soon met by Shannon's husband, Shanahan, who goes on his way after chatting with Shannon for a bit. Shannon then explains his history with him and how the world affects Humans who stay in the realm for long durations of time. On the way to the pond, Shannon talks about her past before encountering Shanahan.
Back to Elias' side, Titania tries to coax and reason with Elias claiming the Fairy World is better suited for Chise as the Human world is far too toxic for her.
Arriving at their destination, a pond, Shannon has Chise soak her wounds there, but as she does, Shannon proclaims that although as a Fae, she's unconditionally attracted to Chise. On the other hand, Shannon despises her and tries to strangle and drown her in the pond. While this is happening, Elias declines Titania's offer noting he's curious about the Human mind, and notes that her kind constantly mocks or pities him. However, Humans fear him, but some accept him. Back to Chise, who manages to survive her struggle against Shannon, she reveals her motives were to test Chise's will to live. Elias and Shanahan then meet them.
Conversely, time has flowed much faster in the Human world, and Silky is left alone in the house for a few months. Besides regularly cleaning it, she had a dream about her past while still being a Banshee. Remembering how where a pair of Leánnan sídhe convinced her to leave her old family, only to end up encountering Spriggan who helped her find a new home and become a Silky. When she awakens, Elias and the others finally return home.
