Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! episode 11 began with Marie and Kazuhiro waking up with a strange cat in their bed. A flashback revealed this was Wridra’s familiar and would allow her to go on their trip with them, since she experienced all it did. Focus then shifted to the trio boarding the shinkansen in Tokyo Station after buying some snacks. Once Marie fell asleep, Kazuhiro mused on his origins and how his memories of living in Tokyo as a child were hazy.

He even added that he struggled to remember his mother’s face and only had clear memories of living with his grandpa in Aomori. They then hopped on a bus after arriving in Aomori, where Marie was awestruck by the sight of Mount Iwaki. Kazuhiro also remembered feeling the same way as a child when his grandfather drove him out to Aomori for the first time. They then exited the bus and walked to Kazuhiro’s grandpa’s house, where they discovered he had bought a cow.

They then met Kazuhiro’s grandpa, where it was revealed his grandmother was dead. However, pictures of her were never fully shown, always leaving at least her face unseen. They then had dinner, with Marie and Kazuhiro taking a walk after. She cast a spell using Japan’s spirits for the first time while also learning she had been getting Kazuhiro’s name wrong. The episode ended with Kazuhiro’s grandpa wishing them a fun time in Marie’s world as they disappeared into it.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! episode 12 will likely begin with a focus on Kazuhiro and Marie wrapping up whatever adventure they went on after returning to the latter’s world. Wridra should also be present, with the three discussing their collective visit to Kazuhiro’s grandpa’s house and how excited they are to return.

Episode 12 should see them return shortly thereafter, quickly rushing through the day of activities and events they partake in on what’s likely their last day there. The episode should end with Kazuhiro’s grandmother’s face being fully revealed, showing her to be an elf and likewise explaining Kazuhiro’s grandpa’s knowledge of Marie’s world.
