With her apprentice Yuicia and the little cat-sith Kuro gone, Chise resumes her daily life in the Wasteland of Nothingness alongside her trusty companion Teto and their twenty-odd attendant dolls. Over the years, what used to be a desolate, barren land has turned into a beautiful, lush forest and the new tenants from the floating island have left it busier than ever, to Chise s delight. But these changes soon catch the attention of the nations next door, and it isn t long before they start making housewarming visits. Unable to live in hiding any longer, Chise has to do the one thing she s been dreading the most: open the wasteland to the rest of the world.
