I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for the OVA's was a "Trust us we know where we are going with this premise" for those who find the mentor/student relationship exploitative (for very good reasons) and/or overused (It is a romance, not just shoujo, staple).

After poking around some Gaelic dictionaries I found out just what Sleigh Beggy/Slay Vega actually means. It seems to be a misspelling of the Manx phrase Sleih Beggey (Slew-ah Bega) which means "little people" a euphemism for fairy, another "little people" term used is Mooinjer Veggey. Manx like other Gaelic languages can change initial consonants of words to indicate grammar, the adjective "beg" meaning "little" becomes "veg" when used with a feminine noun, and "beg" becomes "beggey" when used as a plural. In Scots/Irish Gaelic at least the similar term "Sluagh" meaning people/host is specifically used for a Wild Hunt analogue for a Fairy Host or Spirits of the Dead depending on myth that roam about stealing the souls of the dying (or anyone they fancy), and just by saying the name can you summon them. So Chise seems to be associated with the least fun type of fairies, and I whiled away many an hour reading about Gaelic linguistics.
