Even after she saved a family from monsters, they still insulted her and were scared of her instead of showing gratitude. But even so, she still cared more about those villagers than herself and tried to keep them safe disregarding her own safety. Unfortunately, the villagers and even the kind old man betrayed her by confessing her location to some slave traders. They ran away whenever she went to the village and called her a witch except one old man who treated her kindly. Here we get to see Emilia's willingness to become friends with the villagers but sadly they treat her like a disease (so she hid her face mostly).
We already know from season 1 how most people in Lugunica hated her because she looked like witch of envy. If anything, Subaru wasn't wrong when he called her EMT (angel), EMF (fairy) or EMM (goddess). They really amplified the emotions in certain scenes. The art was just as good (if not better) as in season 1 so nothing to complain about. We also get to see a little glimpse of season 2 that is, a little tease on Petelgeuse's backstory, an unknown voice at the start and Emilia's relatives. There were still many unanswered questions (like frozen statues of people and how Emilia was frozen herself) and unnamed foes who are yet to appear and will hopefully be covered in season 2. And after the credits, we have a lovely Emilia and Subaru interaction to lightenītw this OVA only gave a glimpse of her past.

There are also some decent (but short) fighting scenes involving Emilia and Puck plus some badass Emilia scenes in which she gets really angry. It also showed her daily life, how she earned her livelihood before she was selected as a candidate for Lugunica's queen, her relationship with Puck, her first meeting with Puck, a little about Elior forest (her home), her powers, etc. It showed how Emilia was treated by villagers and how SHE treated them in return.
