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.

Summary
Chise and Elias shear Woolybugs. When one of them steal the body heat from Chise, Elias fends them off and sends Chise indoors to warm up. Chise reveals she knows about Elias's impulse to eat humans, and the time he was tempted to eat her while in his inhuman form. Elias nearly erases the memory, but she prevents him from doing so. Since she lost her parents and brother, Elias was the only family she had, so the thought of losing Elias scares her more than anything. Chise also reveals that both of her parents had the "sight" and could see the same creatures that most other humans cannot see. Elias admits he has no experience of emotions except for feeling cold when Chise was gone and warm when she returned. Chise recognizes this as loneliness and promises to teach him human things. They are 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.
