With the church's requests fulfilled, things were supposed to go back to normal. But Elias has been acting strange since the last request: he'd vanished on the first morning after Chise had spent a night in his room. Neither Angelica's kind words nor Ruth's pure words are enough to put Chise's mind to rest.

Alice sees Elias' changes and decides immediately that he could never be human.

Those who know Elias call him the Pilum Murialis.

The dog, with its flowing, black hair and burning red eyes, called Chise by the name "Isabelle."

Long ago, the humans and cats of Ulthar, city of cats, were struck by a great tragedy. For generations, the souls of those who were at the center of this tragedy have been sealed away by the king of cats. Chise and Elias travel to Ulthar in order to complete Simon's second task: to purify the spirits that remain.

Simon, who is assigned by the Church to keep an eye on Elias, visits with some business.
