Akiko Hatori

**Akiko Hatori** (羽鳥 晶子, *Hatori Akiko*) is a distant relative of Chise Hatori through marriage where Shouji Hatori forced her to take her in to avoid having a negative reputation and raised her along her two sons, Daiko Hatori and Koki Hatori.

## Appearance

Akiko appears to be an average sized woman with a slender figure.

She is seen wearing a grey pullover sweater and jeans and always has a stern expression on her face when Chise Hatori is in her presence, which may stem from the stress of having to take care of three young children by herself.

## Personality

Akiko was heavily negligent of Chise and she was constantly complaining to her husband due to his business trips leaving him not deal with the young mage to be. Like most humans, Akiko could not see the neighbors, and thus did not know the torment that Chise went through on a daily basis, instead seeing her as a problem child and a burden.

## Etymology

* The name **Akiko** means "clear, crystal" (晶) (**aki**) and "child" (子) (**ko**).
* Akiko's surname **Hatori** means "feather" (羽) (**ha**) and "bird, poultry, fowl" (鳥) (**tori**), which literally means "wing of a bird" altogether.

Chapter 50

## Chapter Guide

**The cowl does not make the monk. I** (TBA, *TBA*) is the 50th chapter of *The Ancient Magus' Bride* manga written by Kore Yamazaki.

## Synopsis

Elias and Chise harvest pumpkins when they are approached by an auditor of the church who is suspicious of how Simon has been keeping records on Elias over the past decade. Meanwhile, Ashen Eye appears before Stella as Chise is swept away by a mysterious fog.

## Summary

Lindel and Adolf continue their discussion from the end of the previous chapter about Elias, trying to learn about more of his history. He was found in a French port that was shipping goods to England back in the eighteenth century. And parts of his character developed during whatever events occurred during that time.

Simon is baking biscuits at his house where Gabriella, the nun who is not quite human, is hanging out when a young auditor arrived and is not too please.

Meanwhile, Chise and Ruth are resting outside their home. Chise is exhausted from her first week at the College and reflects briefly upon her experience with Elias. We learn that it is September at this point in the series. Elias attempts to lay next to Chise on his back but is able to do so due to his horns. Chise offers a solution of having him lay his head in her lap as she sits up. Not only is this his first time able to lay on his back and look up at the sky, he is so comfortable in Chise's lap he ends up falling asleep. Silky sneaks up on the gang to remind them that the pumpkins and squash are ready to be harvested.

Elias and Chise are harvesting pumpkins while discussing the history of Samhain and Halloween when Gabriella appears directly in front of Chise to announce that Elias' "long decade of peace" he has enjoyed is threatened. Elias is encouraged to visit Simon's house sooner rather than later.

Stella shows up, reminding Chise that they had plans to hang out together. Elias almost reluctantly separates from the group to go to Simon's house on his own. Chise and Stella briefly discuss what the new College experience is like when a thick fog appears, whisking away Chise and Ruth, leaving Stella on her own. That is, until Ashen Eye appears directly behind her.

The Auditor is not happy at all with Simon's record keeping on Elias, his notes resembling a diary more than an observation of him. The Auditor is confused since all Elias' previous observers were chased away by him, all noting he is "extremely aggressive". He is even more confused when Elias seemingly lets himself into Simon's home as if an old acquaintance, despite Simon's notes stating that Elias is merely a "passing acquaintance".

Chise is left face to face with the memory of her mother, who openly declares and repeats her wish of having Chise dying.

As the memory of her mother begs for forgiveness, Chise denies it but goes on to thank her instead, which prompts the image of Joseph to appear and ask for Chise to accept him. Revealing that Cartaphilus and Joseph are two separate individuals, Chise accepts the curse and she wakes up.

As she does, Chise takes Joseph by surprise and casts the same spell that he performed on her as to find out his intentions.

East, west, home's best.

**East, west, home's best.** (やはり我が家が一番良い。, *Yahari wagaya ga ichiban'ii*) is the 13th episode of the first season of *The Ancient Magus Bride* anime.

## Synopsis

After an incident during the summerily wooly sheering, Chise has a heart-to-heart with Elias where she reveals that she's aware of his cravings for humans. Immediately, Elias tries to erase the memory, but Chise stops him and conveys that he's the only family she has now. The sentiment moves, and Elias notes that he's unable to express or comprehend human emotions. Also, one night, a visitor from Elias' past, named Ashen Eye, stops by.

## Summary

A disembodied voice compliments Chise as scenes from the future play out.

Amazed by the Woolybugs, Chise learns from Elias their species name and that they're more than usual out. They then start sheering the wool off of the Woolybugs, and as they do this, Elias explains that their leftover wool is used for pillows that would allow her to sleep well. When a snow bug steals the body heat from Chise, Elias fends them off and sends Chise indoors to warm up.

Afterward, Chise awakens in the greenhouse lying on Elias' lap. Although Chise wants to leave, Elias insists she stays and talks to him about her time in Dragons' Aerie. Amid this, it's revealed that Chise is privy to Elias' impulse to eat humans and the time he was tempted to eat her in his inhuman form.

Upon learning this, Elias nearly erases the memory; however, Chise prevents him from doing so. Chise admits to Elias that since she lost her parents and brother, Elias was her only family, so the thought of losing Elias scares her more than anything. She also reveals that both her parents had "sight" and could see the same creatures that most humans cannot see. Overall, she was happy when Lindel talked about Elias' past to her.

Elias claims that humans lie, which Chise doesn't deny; however, he believes in what she said and admits that he has no emotional experience. This excludes when he felt abnormally cold when Chise was gone and warm when she returned. Chise recognizes this as loneliness and promises to teach him human things.

After this was settled, Elias examines Chise's wand and praises it as well made.

Time passes by, and a coughing Simon visits Elias' House, asking for his usual medicine. When Chise fetches it, she also serves him some elderberry syrup to help with his condition. As it turns out, Elias once gave him the same stuff right around he first became acquainted with him.

They're later visited by a faerie acquaintance of Elias named Ashen Eye, who gives Chise a “gift” for capturing and binding fellow spirits. He traps Chise in an animal skin, transforming her into a fox.

Church

The **Church** or **Conclave** is an organization within the world that takes it upon itself to observe, preserve, or exterminate the supernatural entities that encompass it for the sake of humans. It is a multi-faceted group divided into factions.

## History

Established far into the past, the Church was took it upon themselves to deal with anything that endangered humanity, such as Devils and Demons and Faeries and the like. They had a very aggressive stance during this time period which brought them in contact with Elias, who noted that they were far less strict in the present and attempted to harshly interfere with his life.

However, in the present they've taken in multiple religions, even those native to the Far East, and would rather stick with either observing them or preserving a cordial relationship if possible. That being said, there is a lot of politicking and the peaceful means they are currently using aren't to every faction's liking, resulting in a lot of power plays.

## Structure

The Church itself is divided into three sections based on the three roles they take: Observation, Preservation, and Extermination. Gabriella refers to them as essentially a collection of private armies.

### Observation

The observation segment consists of agents known as *pigeons* or *roosters*, who are scattered all over the world. They observe the supernatural entities and those who work with them to see if they are a threat who harms humans.

### Preservation

The preservation segment consists of agents known as *crows* or *ants*, who work to make contact with and preserve cordial relations with the more dangerous the supernatural entities, reaching a compromise that benefits both parties.

### Extermination

The extermination segment consists of agents known as *wolves* or *locusts*, who are called in to remove the supernatural entity if a compromise cannot be reached and protect the people. Members of it likely contain abilities suited to bind or exterminate non-humans.

Chise is signing papers to get auctioned while Seth is supervising. He asks her if she is not going to regret it, to which she answers no. After that, the people in the auction house put irons around her neck and hands, along with a chain coming from the part that goes around her neck. She is brought to a stage, and the auction begins at 500,000 pounds. The price starts rising, and a tall man enters the room, approaching where she is. He gets to the stage and gives the sum of 5,000,000 pounds, so the audience gets surprised.

In a room inside the building, the man introduces himself as Elias and calls Chise his "puppy". He then asks her to close her eyes while he hugs her and advises she may get dizzy. Thorns are created from the ground and surround them. As they appear in a rural area, Elias tells Chise to open her eyes. After that, she asks where they are, and the mage responds that they are on the outskirts of London, a rural area of England.

Elias bathes Chise because he thinks she cannot clean herself thoroughly. After washing Chise, he exits the bathroom, and fairies enter through the half-opened window. They tell Chise not to call them "fairies", but to call them neighbors. When Chise gets out of the bathroom, Elias prepares dinner and tells her he answers all her questions. He explains why he chose her and will make her his apprentice. Silver shows Chise the room where she will be staying, and Chise falls asleep in the bed. At night, one of the fairies wakes Chise and convinces her to go for a walk. Elias sees how Chise leaves the house and says it will serve as a lesson. The fairy guides Chise far away from her home, and they arrive at a portal to a "fairy kingdom". She tries to convince her to enter the portal, but Chise refuses after remembering Elias told her she was "family". The fairies flee, and Elias hugs Chise. On their way home, Elias tells her he plans to make her his wife.

Dragon

**Dragon**s (ドラゴン, *Doragons)* are a race of large reptilians. In the modern age, they have decreased in numbers and no longer hunt humans, thus losing their ability to breathe fire. Most live in a sanctuary in Iceland protected by Lindel.

At the time of their death, a dragon will return to the earth.

## Types

### Uil

   A slender dragon with large wings and a body covered in scales. Their head is protected by one large-scale, formed like a helmet. They grow a second, smaller horn when they are older.

### Beanna

   A bipedal dragon with a fluffed ruff of feathers on its neck, two horns protruding from their head, and bird-feet. They do not have wings, and likely lack the ability to fly.

### Gaoth Arach

   A stone-like dragon with one large horn protruding from the front of its head. Despite being bulky, they have the ability to fly.

## Notable Dragons

### Nevin

## Abilities

### Shifting

Dragons may shift from one size to another to fit their needs.

Chapter 55

## Chapter Guide

**First impressions are the most lasting. III** is the 55th chapter of *The Ancient Magus' Bride* manga written by Kore Yamazaki.

## Synopsis

After Zoe's hair turns into snakes, he runs away from the other students and into the private gardens. We get a glimpse into his childhood and how he ended up at the College. After locating him, he confronts Chise calling her a monster since he can sense she is not human. As Chise and Zoe explain their story about who and what they are, Ruth discovers Philomela has been listening in on their conversation.

## Summary

Zoe completes the transformation from the end of the previous chapter of having his hair turn into snakes after his headphones are removed by Lucy. Chise summon Ruth to follow his scent so they can go help him. Isaac educates everyone that the headphones are used because of sensitive hearing and Zoe is probably overwhelmed by sounds. Rían convinces Lucy to help find Zoe and apologize for taking the headphones off of him. They discover that Zoe is a gorgon, a monster from Greek Mythology and have that lore explained. The fact that gorgons used to be hunted for their body parts, especially their eyes, seems to concern Chise.

As Chise, Lucy, Isaac and Rían chase after Zoe into the College's private gardens, which is a maze of tall hedges. Ruth loses the scent among all the greenery so Chise takes over using her heightened sense of smell. Rían is capable of modifying his body to have gravity effect in order to stand on non-supportive hedges in order to get a better look of the area to try and find Zoe. Chise finds Zoe while Ruth continue looking around the gardens. While still in his panic, his snakes launch towards Chise but she does not feel any ill intent from them and ends up caressing the snakes instead.

Lucy places the headphones back over Zoe's ears and his snakes turn back into hair. Lucy seems to take the lead as the big sister who watches over everyone and making sure there are no injuries. After being questioned why he is at the college, Zoe shares his story of how he was born (hatched from an egg) and how his parents thought experiencing the world in a safe place like the College would be good for him. When Zoe questions Chise whether or not she is human, she admits she is cursed by a dragon and shows her black arm to everyone. Everyone is fascinated by her arm, but Zoe states he can smell something else on her. Before he can finish his sentence, his snakes reemerge from his hair and go towards Lucy who states that they are beautiful. Zoe's advice from his parents was to find someone who found him beautiful for who and what he is.

Ruth alerts Chise that he found Philomela just around the hedge listening in.

### Chise Hatori

Angelica is one of the first people to learn of Chise's nature as a Sleigh Beggy. Over the course of the series, she becomes somewhat of a secondary guardian to Chise and begins treating her like a second daughter. The two of them appear to be in friendly terms, with Angelica assisting Chise in her magical studies with learning materials like books and magic stones which she sends to their home from time to time. When Chise became afflicted with the Dragon's Curse Angelica slapped her as punishment for her foolishness, stating that she would have done the same to her own daughter.
