Mirabelle was so scared by the sudden appearance of Kirsten that she sat down on the wooden floor.

“Sheesh, you don’t need to be that frightened. Is my face that terrifying?”

“That’s not what I meant. Why did you come out with only a towel around you?”

Mirabelle’s face became incredibly red as she looked at Kirsten, who was only wrapped in a towel.

Hot water was sliding down the skin on her chest. Kirsten’s tender white skin had become the color of cherry blossoms due to the hot water shower.

Water droplets were constantly cascading down her silky smooth long black hair.

Mirabelle paid extra attention to the two large round objects on Kirsten’s chest.

“Um… I forgot to take my clothes, which is why I’m in a towel. This is our home anyways, so there aren’t any rules from town. Mirabelle, could it be that you don’t like looking at me? It really must be because of the scars on my body…”

“No… that absolutely isn’t the case!”

Mirabelle jumped up from the floor and grabbed Kirsten’s hand.

“I think that your body is too beautiful, which is why I’m a little shy…”

Mirabelle’s face became even redder as she awkwardly scratched herself.

Kirsten’s face became as red as an apple when she heard words that she didn’t expect.

“Eh? Is… that really how it is?”

“Yeah…”

Mirabelle’s face was also bright red as she said this. Kirsten didn’t know what to do apart from turning her head away awkwardly.

Neither of the two dared to look at the other. Both didn’t want the other to notice how embarrassed she was.

“Mirabelle, you… could it be that you’re also interested in my body?”

“I suppose so. It’s Kirsten’s fault for being so cute…”

“In that case, I’ll also tell you directly that I’m interested in your body as well…”

“Eh?”

As Kirsten said this, she directly pushed Mirabelle back down onto the ground.

The two of them exchanged glances at a close distance, which caused Mirabelle to feel her heartbeat increasing in pace.

Kirsten kept looking at Mirabelle’s face from this close distance. As she thought, Mirabelle really was so cute.

The towel on Kirsten’s body began to loosen. It then fell onto the ground.

Mirabelle now had a complete view of a naked beauty who just showered.

“K… Kirsten, we’re not m… married yet, so isn’t it bad to be doing such a thing?”

“What’s bad about it?”

“Because… because…”

Mirabelle was unable to come up with any reason. She also wanted to ask herself, what was bad about doing such a thing?

“See, Mirabelle isn’t able to come up with any reason why this is a bad thing. Relax, and leave everything to me. I’ll make Mirabelle very comfortable…”

At this moment, Kirsten’s fingers began to gradually unbutton Mirabelle’s shirt. Mirabelle also swallowed some saliva as she looked at the naked Kirsten. Kirsten’s soft chest was currently rubbing against Mirabelle’s thigh.

“Mmm… Kirsten…”

Mirabelle was unable to find any reason to go against this as Kirsten’s seductive words seemed to crush all of her logic and reason.

The truth was that even though Mirabelle was now female, in her heart she still preferred cute girls. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have felt so embarrassed.

Mirabelle would feel like vomiting if she had to try to like men.

However, Mirabelle instantly thought of a way to escape.

“Um… Kirsten, are you really fine?”

“Mirabelle, what are you referring to?”

“I’m fine, but if you do such a thing, you have to get married to me. Do you really not mind?”

Mirabelle had wanted to use this to scare Kirsten.

However, Kirsten laughed out loud.

“Hahaha, Mirabelle, you’re such a silly fool. Haven’t I said it already? I’ve long since fallen in love with you. It would be exactly I want to get married to you. Isn’t it only natural to do such a thing with you?”

“No no no, that’s not what I’m referring to. Are you really willing to stay here forever on this island?”

“Just what exactly do you mean then?”

“I’ll just say it to you directly. If you do this with me now, we’ll be forced to get married and remain on this island. You won’t be able to achieve your wish then. It’s not like this is the last time we’ll ever see each other, so we can do this with each other after we both achieve our dreams, isn’t that so?”

Mirabelle tried to convince Kirsten to stop.

While Kirsten was surprised, she also closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

“You’re right. We can do this after we achieve our dreams. Besides, there’s something more important, which is that you haven’t told me that you love me. I want to do this with you after you truly say that you love me from your heart…”

Kirsten smiled as she felt relief in her heart.

She had only wanted to do this on a sudden impulse without considering Mirabelle’s feelings at all.

She hadn’t realized that this was something she should only do with Mirabelle after Mirabelle told her that she loved her and was willing to become her wife.

This was something that would affect their entire lives, after all.

Kirsten seemed to think of something as she asked Mirabelle a question while the latter buttoned up her pajama buttons.

“Mirabelle, if you don’t want to do it with me, why didn’t you push me aside?”

“I… I didn’t want you to think that I hated you. I don’t want to lose you because of something like this. If you kept insisting, perhaps I would have…”

Mirabelle directly hugged Kirsten and buried her head in Kirsten’s chest.

Kirsten looked at the child in front of her and gently patted Mirabelle’s head.

There was only half a head’s height difference between the two of them.

This made it easy for Mirabelle to lean her head against Kirsten’s shoulder.

“Mirabelle is so gentle. I… I’ll definitely become stronger as well, to become a husband good enough for Mirabelle!”

Kirsten clenched her fist tightly as she made a resolute claim.

‘I just want to say, I’m the one who should be the husband!’

Mirabelle’s eyes were filled with a helpless expression. She was clearly the boy here, yet she wasn’t as tall as the girl Kirsten.

To be honest, Mirabelle was still in a party with Kirsten.

Killing the S rank Hell Melgash and the five A rank ogres also gave experience points to Kirsten.

Although Kirsten wasn’t able to share Mirabelle’s sidequest reward experience, she could share the experience from hunting magical beasts. Mirabelle had already ascertained that Kirsten had reached level 170.

“Yeah, I believe that Kirsten will definitely become stronger. For that purpose, I shall stay by Kirsten’s side to support Kirsten! Leave making weapons and equipment to me!”

Mirabelle patted her tiny and exquisite chest as she declared this to Kirsten.

And so, Mirabelle sat down at the table and began to research new arrows with special effects similar to the explosive arrow and blinding arrow.

It wasn’t easy at all to find useful magic formations from the tens of thousands of magic formations.

However, Mirabelle did think of two –

With the ogre incident, if they hadn’t been near the outer wall to make use of the barrier to stall the ogres, and if it wasn’t for the ogres being of low intelligence, they would have died already.

Firstly, Mirabelle thought of a magic that could reflect attacks. Secondly, she also thought of a magic that could slow magical beasts down.

She made both magic formations. Mirabelle then discovered to her surprise that her mana decreased by only 950.

‘What was going on? Inscribing the magic formations should have required 500 mana, just like with the explosive arrow magic formation.’

Since she made two arrows, she should have used up 1000 mana.

Why had she only used up 950 mana?

Mirabelle stared blankly at her stats until she saw the last ability. Only then did she realize what had happened.

She had just obtained a personal skill today, the one named [Mana Reduction].

So this was a 5% discount on mana usage for her magic.

Basically, she could achieve what she wanted without having to pay the full price in mana.

So that was it?

In that case-

As Mirabelle thought about this, her body already began to move.

Mirabelle dashed out the door, causing Kirsten to ask, “what is it? Did something happen?”

She also followed Mirabelle to the door and stood behind her.

“What happened? Mirabelle…”

Mirabelle reached over and made a magic formation appear on her hand.

Kirsten watched blankly, not knowing what Mirabelle wanted to do.

“Fire spirit of the atmosphere, please listen to my call! Red Lotus Fire! Beginner level Fireball!”

Mirabelle’s incantation finished as a fireball instantly smashed towards the lake.

The fireball hit the lake and was instantly quenched by the water.

Mirabelle put her hand on her chin as she seemed to be thinking.

“The power isn’t any different from normal, but I’ve saved 10% on my mana, which means that this skill isn’t useless after all.” [TL note: I guess it’s because she used magic twice? Once for making the formation, once for activating it.]

This was a stackable skill.

If Mirabelle drew [Mana Reduction] again for her next skill, the effect would stack with itself.

Two times 5% would equal 10%.

If she drew this skill for a third time, she would gain even more mana reduction as a percentage.

If she reached 100% mana reduction, she would be able to use high-level magic spells without any limit, as she wouldn’t spend even one point of mana then.

However, it didn’t seem like relying on drawing the same skill every time would be consistent.

Besides, she would have to draw this skill 20 times consecutively.

The highest level possible in this game was level 1000. She could draw a personal skill once every fifty levels. This meant she could draw 20 times at the most.

Being able to draw the same skill twenty times consecutively? Just how much powerful luck would be needed for that?

Anyways, Mirabelle Brillana felt that she wouldn’t have such luck.

She still remembered that at the strongest, there was only level 600 in this game.

This was because you would require more and more experience as your level went up.

In order to prevent the game’s pace from slowing down and players getting bored of the game, Mirabelle had made the final boss only level 500.

That was right, a player only needed to achieve around level 500 to beat the game.

However, she didn’t know what other changes might have happened in the game.

After all –

Vampires had replaced demons, and the demon king was originally the final boss of the game.

Now that the ruling species had been replaced, Mirabelle no longer knew how many levels would be required in order to beat the game.
