Lol, Chise and Ruth really have entertaining moments together in this show. The way this episode sold the comedy was gold.

Happy to see Lindel back. He's an underrated character imo from this show so seeing him return is a pleasant sight. Plus, I think it's interesting to hear his story of the world.

I think Lindel's VA played his role really well especially through his interactions with Elias from his past.

I love that they are fleshing out Elias, but are still keeping a lot of mystery about his past mixed in.

Very wonderful episode.

Great episode.

The dragon taking flight was a pleasure to watch.

Ruth getting angry at Chise was funny. xD

In a sense Lindel is Chise's grandfather, cause he refers to Chise as his granddaughter of course. xD

I like how Elias feels the house is cold and empty without Chise even though the latter isn't the talkative type.
It was pretty interesting to hear Lindel's story about the dark ages of the world and how he eventually met Elias. Really liked the part where Rahab gave Elias his name.

There were some funny moments in this episode. The dragon flying around was nice. It's good to see Lindel again. Chise was taken to him so she can make her wand. Got to see some of his backstory and of Elias. Elias was actually his apprentice. His mini self is adorable. Liked the part where Rahab gave his name.

I've read the manga for this part (I won't spoil anything else beyond it) and I loved seeing it animated. Seeing Elias and Chise miss each other is important for their character development I feel like, Elias backstory is very important because he is such a mysterious character, and of course seeing Lindel again is always great, he is a pretty underrated character in the series imo. I can't wait for the next episode :')

Chibi Elias? Cue people complaining about chibi moments...

I love Master's design, it's so very unique. You don't see a woman sporting a mado scientist lab coat wearing a monocle that combined with that strand of hair makes it look like she has a tattoo on her face every day.

A nice look into the past of Elias that we might never have gotten from Elias himself, unless maybe later in the series if he actually felt like telling Chise lol

It's good to see Chise off on her own and not depending on Elias (although she does have Ruth, but he's her familiar, so whatever).

The dragon from before still acts the same way as before too, except it is way bigger now. Good to know how fast their bodies grow.

It's funny how Elias had no idea how large humans were, so he shrunk way too much. He has clearly learned a few lessons since then.

Finally we're diving into Elias' backstory to learn more about who he is. There's still a mysterious vibe to him after this episode, but next episode looks like it's going to reveal even more interesting stuff.

It was nice to see Lindel again, and damn that dragon has certainly gotten way bigger compared to when he was last seen.

This was another part I've been waiting to see animated and Wit did a really good job imo. We have Chise who gets called by Lindel to go back to his place and finally make her wand and at the end of the day she has Lindel tell her a story.

It good we get some backstory of Lindel and a bit of Elias about how they meet. Lol'd a bit of how when they meet Rahab, Elias is asked to turn small and he overdid it and when Lindel says he refuses to take apprentices but then changes his mind.

Overall great episode and I'm very excited for the next one.

What Rahab said really makes you think.

It seems that Elias is a failed attempt of a fairy trying to become human rather than a failed attempt of a human trying to become a fairy.

That's why he got "living" flesh and he can be perceived even by normal humans if he doesn't cover up, it's something xD.

I wonder how much of his memories he regained during those few hundred years.

It's cool name, though a bit literal. It means "Sea-Wind" from Finnish meri ('sea') and tuuli ('wind').

Kinda odd to have a Finnish-based name, since selkies aren't from Finnish folklore, but it's cool nevertheless.

Dragons grow fast. How long has it been since Chise visited the Land of the Dragons?

Well now we see the relationship between Lindel and Elias. I guess the next episode will show how Lindel apprentices Elias...and it looks like it wasn't easy for Lindel...

dragon grow fast. Lindel said it's been a long time, how long it's been since they met?

so we get to see the Elias past. Elias more like a fairy or God that trying to be a human rather than the other way around. A tiny Elias are actually adorable.

The way Lindel describes Rahab as being one hundred years in the future or past, I kinda imagine Rahab to be like Merlin from the Sword in the Stone, coming back to the past and complaining about it being backwards and going on vacation to the 21st century.

So we got the story of how Elias met Lindel and Rahab.
Rahab seems to be a mage who exists separate from time and place, judging by how Lindel was talking about her.

An interesting start to Elias' backstory this week, and I definitely support this notion that he was originally a wendigo, as that is most definitely what he looked like when Lindel first met him. I'm definitely intrigued to see where this progresses next week.

Despite the lack of romanticism that makes the narration more poignant, the excursion on Elias is very interesting and gives to his character, that background that makes his figure more charismatic. Very catchy and apt to the context the soundtrack, interesting naturalistic references that never fail, like the magic ones, it seems obvious to say but in certain series of souls, we talk about an argument without ever mentioning the fundamental elements, that's the reason why I say. I'm glad that in the episode, the narrative has spoken again of Lindel and the relationship that really binds him to Elias, I hope that you will continue in the future of the character of Rahab.

There's one thing that's been sort of bugging me:
What purpose does Chise being Japanese serve?

Also, how did Rahab had a coat, even though at the time, she was living during the ancient age, before coats were invented?

This episode gave us a very interesting insight into Elias' past and his first encounter with Lindel. Although there's still a lot of mystery to him still, I was fascinated by the whole interactions with the two, as well as Rahab, who looked very beautiful. =)

Also, chibi Elias was surprisingly cute too! =3

With the way that the episode showcased his past and what's upcoming looking at the preview for next week, we might learn more about his past with Lindel, as well as interacting more with Chise.

In other words, I loved this episode a lot and I can't wait to see more next week! ^_^

a chibi Elias, nice! This is getting more and more interesting, both of them try to find a place for themselves.
I have to say, I still dont like the slapstick comedy bits. They dont add anything but break the flow of the well animated athmosphere.

That little dragon sure grew up so fast. So adorable. :3 Not enough dragons this episode, though. :/

Elias and Chise are both sad being far away from each other. Ahbguiaguauhgas my fucking heart. Nice to see Lindel again and his handsome face, though I prefer Ruth over him anytime. Pfffft. Haha.

We get to know more about Elias. He sure looked so terrifying with that body of his when Lindel found him. Then Elias turned himself into a chibi (haha so adorable) just so he can fit in that Lindel's Master's house who apparently was the one who gave him the name Elias. Awww. So, Lindel was the one who found him and I think he made him his apprentice.

"You're going to ruin her if you continue to do nothing more than let her live with you." What does that supposed to mean? :/

5/5, as always. <3
