The forest wizard tells the fairy tail that it's time to give up. He's seen a red-haired spirit in the house before, and he thinks that the boy is gone. The fairy tail asks if there's a way to get back into the mansion, and the forest wizard says there is, but only a small child could make it through the house. They'll need some tools, the wizard says, and they'll have to leave the forest. The wizard says that the trees are dying because the villagers came to the forest, and that's why they're leaving. He says that he's lost a lot of friends, but he finally has a place to call his own. The two of them decide to get together and make some cat food. The witch asks the wizard why he didn't tell her his name. He tells her that she's the one responsible for spreading the disease to take the forest from them. She says that if she hadn't ticed, they wouldn't have had to fight to get the forest back. She asks why the wizard doesn't want to tell her why he did it, and she tells him that the only reason they don't hate each other is because the lives of their friends mean nothing. She tells the wizard that if he refuses to come back to the house, she'll turn him into a tree. The chapter ends with the wizard saying that it looks like they've known each other for a year now.
