Chapter 1: The scene where Elias forces Chise into a bath immediately after welcoming her to her new home. Naturally, the 15-year-old girl is a little reluctant to have Elias undress her. Afterwards, she's sitting in the bathtub with her hands over her face, expressing with horror that "he saw everything."
Elias: Come now, stop mewling like a skittish kitten.
Chapter 2: Upon meeting Chise, Angelica asks if Elias kidnapped her or something. Elias only replies that the money he bought her with was clean. Angelica was not amused. She then asks Chise if Elias did anything weird to her, and as Chise seriously thinks about it, Elias comments that the longer she ponders, the worse he looks. A straight-faced Chise then asks if undressing her, bathing her, and then proposing counts. Angelica smiles for a second, then punches Elias in the stomach and kicks him out of the room.
Chise nonchalantly asks Elias if he and Angelica are lovers, causing him to have a Spit Take. He denies it, pointing out that Angelica is married and even has a kid, but Chise is weirdly insistent on the subject, even wondering if Angelica will be his mistress once he marries Chise.
Once they reach the dragon's nest, Lindel orders Paulina to let go Chise from her mouth, which she does by tossing Chise into the nearby river, creating the Running Gag of Chise falling into bodies of water.

Bernie really likes clinging to Chise, Elias even grabs him by the back of the neck to remove him a couple of times. It becomes something of a Funny Background Event how often he does it throughout the chapter.

Elias, an inhuman magus, explains a little about the nature of magic and wizardry... by using computer metaphors. Chise lampshades how bizarre that is.

As Mina is looking for Matthew, one of her friends suggests that he might be having an affair, only for another one to hit her over the head and deem the idea ridiculous.
Chapter 8: Oberon. Just Oberon. He just appears out of nowhere and starts to push Elias buttons with greater ease than even Lindel. Even Titania gets tired of him easily, so she has Spriggan sic the dogs on him. Something he thoroughly enjoys.
Chapter 11: Renfred smacking Alice over the head for acting on her own. He calls her out on her foolishness, and Alice can only weakly apologize.
Chapter 12: Blue Flame really likes clinging to Alice for some reason, much to her frustration. This foreshadows that Alice's soul carries the scent of fire (which Blue Flame finds pleasant to be around), and that he will become her Familiar in the future.

Chise finds out to shave only their torsos...after she's already completely shaved one. It sneezes in her lap.
After getting chilled by the snow fly, Chise falls asleep and wakes up to Elias having piled cotton flies around her to warm her up. It worked a little too well for her comfort.
Chise feeling embarrassed after pushing Elias down in a moment of impulsiveness.
Chapter 20: Simon comes by for some cough medicine, and fondly recalls the first time Elias gave him the same medicine Chise offers him: Simon was hiding behind a bush, doing a poor job of stifling his cough, when Elias bonked him on the head with his staff and shoved a glass at him.

Chapter 25: Ruth is feeling down, since he couldn't help Chise at all during the last incident.

In an attempt to soothe his (newly discovered) anger, Chise gives Elias his Christmas present. Elias is surprised, since he wasn't expecting Chise to get him anything. Chise mentally notes that she wasn't, and apologizes. Elias still lets her know she is in for a scolding though.
Chapter 28: While Chise appreciates the crystal flowers that grow from her new teddy bear, she can't help but think that it looks like its growing fungi.

Even under their circumstances, Stella and Ethan still keep bickering with each other.
Elias and Chise's reaction when Ashen Eyes decides to let them go after taking a crystal flower, realizing he was just messing with them.

Chise and Elias not agreeing on whether Chise could give Mariel some of her blood or not, contradicting each other at every turn.
Chise revealing that her birthday is that very same day, and Stella calling out the others for not celebrating it in some way. What makes it even funnier is Silky's reaction, where she acts like forgetting to hold a birthday party for Chise is an unforgivable failure while Elias is utterly nonplussed at the concept of a party.
Chapter 50: Elias starts complaining that Chise is spending too much time with Alice, but Chise isn't having any of it. A single look is enough to cower him into dropping the subject.

Zoey's Blank White Eyes when Lucy puts his earmuffs back on. There then is Lucy acting somewhat like a concerned older sister for both Zoey and Chise.
Everyone's shock when they hear Zoey hatched from a Whale Egg.
The main reason Zoey's loving father sent him to the College? He wanted him to be somewhere else so he would be free to do some research. Poor Zoey felt hurt about it, but Rían and Isaac tell him that's common behavior for wizards.

Rían and Lucy seem surprisingly like-minded when it comes to discussing punishment for revealing a secret. Isaac is terrified.

One of the reasons Elias called Chise his bride is because he thinks spouses are always together, and is shocked to hear from Chise that divorce is very common these days.

Later on, he does it again, and includes a rabbit too.
Chise desperately trying to stop Elias from accompanying her to the camp, using the excuse that it would defeat the whole purpose if someone who can do almost anything were to accompany them. In truth, she just didn't want Elias noticing she treats her classmates differently from how she treats him, afraid there would be a repeat of what happened with Stella. Elias's solution is to send a small part of himself with Chise, too weak to be able to do almost anything.
Chapter 61: Elias acting as an impromptu drying machine for Chise.
Chapter 62: Elias is clearly pondering about the nature of Lucy and Chise's relationship, causing Chise to preemptively tell Elias that he and Lucy mean entirely different things to her.
A flashback shows that the first thing Elias did after Chise returned from the camping trip was asking about her now much shorter hair.
Said flashback also shows Silky clearly unhappy with what Chise did to her hair and fixing it up for her, a Continuity Nod to all the way back to chapter 14, where it was shown Silky does Chise's hair.
Chise's shock when she learns that Seth, the man who convinced her to sell herself, and Lucy, her roommate, are brother and sister.
As Chise is finally starting to realize how her loved ones feel when she puts herself in danger and gets hurt, Ruth comes out of her shadow and asks her if she is just starting to notice. He goes on a rant about how much she has put them through as well, forcing Chise to apologize, but she also notes Ruth is having way more fun with it than he should.
When Chise doesn't tell Lucy how she knows Seth, Lucy stretches her cheeks, which Seth can't help but laugh about next to them.
Doubly funny because Seth was likely remembering the time he himself stretched her cheeks in the past, back when trying to convince her to learn English.
