Mira continued eating her stew, while having the changing adventurers as a side dish… or rather appreciating their bodies, until she was done eating everything and she started doing the dishes, finished everything with some All-Seasons au Lait, and started reading the Encyclopedia of Skills.

During that time four pairs of adventurers were done with their showers, and the fifth and last pair entered the spirit mansion. One of them was a young elven girl, wearing a Magical Girl outfit, which caught Mira’s eye, and she continued looking at the clothes and underwear left in front of the shower room when they were inside. Her eyes were filled with perverse thoughts, but there was no one to see that there.

Around twenty minutes later the shower room’s door opened and the pair came out, looking refreshed. They quickly put on their clothes, paid Mira in Magic Stones, and showered her with gratitude before leaving.

「Alright then…」

The door closed behind them and Mira stood up, reaching for the hem of her skirt and quickly taking off her dress. It was finally Mira’s turn.

It was quite late at night, but she did not regret waiting until then a single bit. Instead she seemed almost proud of herself as she headed to the shower.

But a knock on the door stopped her.

(Hm? I thought they all got to shower already.)

As Mira thought that, she heard a voice outside saying, 「I’m sorry, I think I forgot something.」 It was the voice of the young elven girl that had caught Mira’s attention.

「Ohh, I see. Wait a moment.」

Hearing that, Mira quickly looked around the shower room. She quickly found the item, a small set of cute panties.

(Woah?! Now that’s a find!)

She was shocked seeing it at first, but then her mind was quickly taken over by less decent emotions. Girly underwear was something Mira had grown accustomed to, but somehow seeing someone else’s still stirred her emotions.

That was also the reason why she had to calm down though, she was also a girl now.

Some people would consider it a treasure, but Mira forced herself to pick the lost item without much care and headed to the front door while feigning innocence. Quite some time had passed since the elven girl had taken them off, but they still felt warm to the touch.

「Here, is this what you lost?」

Mira slammed the door open wide, handing out the girl’s underwear while trying to act like it meant nothing to her.

「Ah…」

Something was wrong though. The elven girl looked perplexed and lost for words seeing Mira.

Mira was puzzled and scared. Had the elven girl noticed how excited Mira was by holding those panties? Was Mira going to be labeled a pervert now? She had tried to act normal, so she really wanted to know what had given her away.

Outside she kept a poker face, but internally she was despairing at the thought that maybe the elven girl had the ability to read one’s mind.

The awkward silence continued for a few more moments, when the elven girl threw herself at Mira while shouting, 「Turn away!」

Her voice sounded desperate, so Mira obeyed as best as she could even though the elven girl was pushing on her. But then a different voice was heard.

「Sorry! I didn’t think she would come out like- No, I saw nothing, I promise I didn’t see anything!」

It was a male voice, coming from nearby just outside the door.

Mira did her best to look around, the elven girl pushing her down on the floor, and saw a man who was desperately trying to come up with excuses while looking away. He had a large empty container in his hand, so he was probably there because he wanted more water.

「Mira, you shouldn’t open the door while looking like that.」

It finally clicked in Mira’s mind, but the elven girl kept talking, her voice filled with anger, but also worry for Mira. At least Mira understood everything now.

「Ahh… right, I forgot. I’m sorry.」

She had taken her dress off, so she was only wearing underwear now. The elven girl had been shocked to see her slam the door open while looking like that, and then tackled her to shield her from the gaze of the man nearby.

The elven girl safely recovered her lost panties, but then chewed Mira out for opening the door so carelessly while being almost naked.

Mira apologized to her, saying she would try to be more self-aware.

Once everything was over, Mira finally got to enter the shower room, where she took a deep breath.

(A dozen girls went in pairs inside here… I can’t get enough of it!)

Mira’s nature was still largely rotten by depravity, filling her mind with all sorts of fantasies, and even sniffing the remnants of the girls’ scent that still lingered in the air with a sleazy smirk. Her thoughts were in high gear imagining various yuri scenarios.

She was still lost in those thoughts as the water started running down her body, but then she realized. What were a maiden’s sensibilities?

(I didn’t feel particularly embarrassed either.)

Mira almost felt upset, she was proud of her body. But she had been constantly warned about that, and knew that was the normal thing to do.

What would an actual girl do if she was seen in underwear? Mira perused her extensive media knowledge, thinking back to a common trope in series.

「Kya- pervert!」

Mira acted out an exaggerated reaction while covering her chest. But then that pose reminded her of something else.

「The Birth of Venus.」

She felt a strange chill, even though she was inside a warm shower.

In the end she came to the realization that she understood nothing about being a girl, and she left the shower. Then she followed the warning of the elven girl, quickly putting on her dress instead of loitering around in underwear. Such a cute girl had given her advice, so she would follow it.

Then she took out the Encyclopedia of Skills and her notes, doing her daily review. She also wrote out the Skills she wanted to learn, as well as those she felt like she could use in her current state.

Tens of minutes passed and Mira could no longer resist sleep, so she put away the encyclopedia and her notes, then took off her dress since it would be uncomfortable, and slipped inside her sleeping bag.

The next day she woke up at a time that was neither too early nor too late. First she took care of her bodily needs, then sat down idly until her brain fully woke up.

「Hmm, breakfast comes first.」

Around ten minutes later Mira stood up again and began preparing breakfast. Though there was next to nothing to prepare, she simply took out a fruit. It was around the size of an apple, and had a yellow color. It did not look particularly impressive, but it was no regular fruit. It was an energizing fruit created by the Originator Spirit Martel.

「Mhm, delicious!」

The fruit’s taste hardly needed to be described. It was filled with sweetness mixed with the perfect ratio of sourness, trumping over all existing fruits. On top of that it was really healthy as well, being a good source of nourishment. It truly was the perfect breakfast.

Filled with energy from the fruit, she quickly prepared everything and left the spirit mansion before sending it away. She wanted to head straight to the seventh floor after that, but something stopped her.

(Oh right, I should do that while I can.)

Mira had noticed the group with Ettie and Colette, the first pair to take a shower. They were getting ready to depart as well, but their attention turned to Mira when the spirit mansion vanished.

「So how was your night, had a pleasant rest?」
Mira waved her hand a little before talking to the two girls.

「I haven’t slept that well in forever.」
「This is my best morning ever!」

The two replied with beaming smiles. Mira was pleased hearing that, but also recalled the dinner she had.

「By the way, I’m still shocked by that Aminica herb you gave me. My stew never tasted that good before.」
「It’s an amazing herb, right? I’m glad you liked it.」

That one herb had transformed the dish completely. Colette was happy to hear Mira liked the change.

Mira continued talking to her, asking if she had any other recipes she could share.

The change in flavor had left a strong impact on Mira, so she wanted to try out other herbs as well. But she was still a beginner in the kitchen, so she decided to ask for recipes first, and to learn what herbs went well with what.

But recipes could sometimes be extremely personal if a person came up with them on their own, making them quite precious and not something one could simply ask for.
