Plot Summary
The bored forest spirit Michaela is attacked over Yatski village and rescued by Clarith. Awakening in her home, the bird is greeted by Clarith's mother before Clarith herself returns. The two feed the bird and discuss its unique nature, before Clarith commiserates on her hardships and leaves her mother alone with the bird. The next day after Clarith returns, she bonds with Michaela and names her Grüne, giving her a cage and often speaking to her over the next two weeks.
On one occasion, after Clarith leaves, Gumillia arrives to rescue Michaela. Clarith's mother, revealing she can speak to spirits, thanks Michaela for making her daughter happy and sees her off. Clarith returns and is made miserable to see the bird gone, while Michaela is lectured by Held for leaving. As Michaela discusses her actions with Gumillia, the two spot Clarith and hear her pray to Held for a friend. Michaela later asks Held for help; as he refuses, he is interrupted by Elluka Clockworker.
Discussing their previous conversation about giving her disciples, Held eventually agrees to give her Gumillia and Michaela to serve her for three years. Elluka takes the two spirits away and performs the reincarnation ritual on them to make them human, Michaela choosing Eve Moonlit for her human appearance. Afterwards the two spirits begin their training as humans; when the training is complete, Elluka takes Gumillia as her apprentice while Michaela is to stay in Elphegort and look for a vessel of sin.
The two part from Michaela and she prepares to head to Aceid, but not before dropping unconscious in front of the Tree of Held from illness. She awakens under Clarith's care; after being questioned by the Netsuma and fed by her mother, the chief arrives demanding Clarith's land fees; paying the fee for Clarith, Michaela then requests to stay with her in the village. She then asks Clarith about the lord who rules the region, Earl Felix, and while staying with Clarith she requests to learn field work.
Learning to work plowing fields, Michaela befriends the other villagers over time and on one occasion has a talk with Chelsea, who reveals her's and the other's villagers hatred of Clarith as a Netsuma. Later, as Michaela is approached by other Elphes, Clarith encounters Ayn, who attempts to converse with her. Michaela arrives and Ayn speaks with her instead until he leaves; the two talk about Ayn, and their respective relations to men in general, before walking back. The two are intercepted by Chelsea, who attempts to bully Clarith into leaving Ayn alone until Michaela intervenes, convincing them to leave.
Michaela shares a touching moment with Clarith; as a result, over the next several days the friendship between the two girls grows as they work and talk together. One night Michaela comes onto a hill and uses her detection magic to identify the location of a vessel of sin in a building, before Clarith comes upon her. The two talk, and in the process Michaela learns that the building with the vessel of sin belongs to Keel Freezis. After the two share a moment, they return home, only to find that Clarith's mother has collapsed.
