Now that their job was done, Nina and her sisters sat down on the floor, looking exhausted. Mira also had nothing to do until she had to start chasing, so she kept her eyes glued onto the device’s display while sitting down with the other girls.
The detective’s plan went as far as targeting Fuzzy Dice with the Lock-On M-Type device. Everything after that, including the chase, was up to Mira to plan out. For now, the device just pointed at the Spellcasters’ Union, and it would remain that way until Fuzzy Dice finished everything he had to do there.
In Mira’s mind, everything up to that point had been the preliminary preparations, and her actual mission would be to chase after the thief, and either restrain him or manage to talk with him, as her goal was to find that orphanage.
「What?! You’ll chase him on foot?!」
Fuzzy Dice had inhuman speed when running across the rooftops, and Mira was planning on following him with the aid of the device. Since she had to remain unseen, she could not ride Pegasus or other summons for that. When Mira mentioned that, Nina and her sisters were all shocked, knowing how difficult it was to run so fast. At the same time, their gazes shifted to Mira’s legs, which looked dainty and soft like any girl’s legs.
Even if she was powerful enough to be known as the Spirit Queen and had reached rank A as an adventurer, running like Fuzzy Dice without the aid of her summons, essential to her class, seemed like an impossible task. Not just the sisters, but anyone else would think the same too.
But Mira was no regular summoner, she had also mastered many Sage Arts.
「Did I not tell you? As it happens to be, I’m also quite skilled with Sage Arts.」 Mira said with a pretentious voice while activating Truth Eye, which altered her appearance and made her eyes change color.
「Isn’t that one of the Secret Sage Arts…」「They’re the same eyes Master’s friend had…」
「Adventurers of Mira’s caliber really are on a different level.」
Nina and her sisters gasped when they saw that, and after a few comments they understood why Mira was so confident about chasing after Fuzzy Dice.
「But using Sage Arts involves a lot of jumping and leaping around, right? Are you sure that’s a good idea..?」
Nina mentioned that while her eyes panned down to Mira’s lower body, or her skirt to be more precise. Just like the detective and Julius before, they were worried that Mira would expose her underwear.
「I know. That’s why I’ve come prepared and properly bought something to hide my underwear for this situation.」
Mira explained that they had no need to worry, and with a proud smile. But somehow the three sisters just looked puzzled, their eyes moving between Mira’s smug face and her skirt multiple times before looking at each other.
「What do you think?」
「Umm… are we really talking about the same thing?」
「I’m confused too…」
The three talked amongst themselves, trying to understand what was happening, and not sure of how to reply to Mira. After a while, they hesitantly looked at Mira again.
That was completely different to how Mira had expected them to respond, so she tilted her head in confusion, trying to think of anything she could have said that would elicit such a reaction.
Seeing Mira’s clueless face, the three sisters seemed to make up their minds and looked turned to face her. Then, after one final glance at Mira’s skirt, Nina spoke for everyone.
「Umm… To be honest, that just looks like regular underwear for us… Are you sure you bought the right thing?」
Nina said that, her voice filled with concern. Mina and Nana also nodded, sharing the same opinion.
Mira was currently sitting cross-legged on the ground, unbothered about her skirt. That position created a sizable gap below her skirt, so the sisters could see her underwear.
Usually, girls did not really care as much about covering themselves when around other girls, and that applied to Nina and her sisters too, so they did not mind the way Mira was sitting.
But Mira had clearly stated that she was ready to jump and leap around, which would reveal a lot more in public.
Hearing that had left the sisters in shock, as they could not see anything of that sort under Mira’s skirt. Just plain underwear. And their eyes were not deceiving them.
「What do you mean? Just look…?!」
Mira knew how much effort she had put in getting ready for the chase, so she lifted her skirt, only to see her own underwear she was used to wearing there, and her hands froze. Her thoughts began to race, trying to understand how this was possible.
After a while, she figured out what had happened. She had worn the inner pants she bought right after buying them, but had forgotten to put them on again since then.
「Ah… I forgot…」
Mira excused her actions, claiming it was easy to forget about such things when one was not used to it. At the same time, she hurried to take out a pair of spats and put them on.
Now that she was wearing those spats, she was ready to leap out of the balcony and chase after Fuzzy Dice at any moment. But the indicator on Lock-On M-Type was still not moving, so she continued chatting with the girls. They had started discussing underwear due to what had just happened, which made Mira grin happily.
They were mainly discussing their endless troubles as adventurers, having to pick the right type of underwear, figuring out how many pairs they had to prepare beforehand when going to a dungeon, and more importantly how to wash them while in there.
But Mira never had to worry about such things, as her summoner abilities would let her wash her underwear anywhere and as many times as she wanted. The more she talked about that, the more the eyes of the sisters’ began to shine, full of expectation, and they thanked Mira many times over for agreeing to teach their youngest sister how to be a summoner.
「Excuse me…am I intruding on something here?」
And then Julius came there, witnessing the three sisters prostrated in thanks around Mira.
「Oh, don’t worry. All I did was to agree to teach their youngest sister the fundamentals of summoners.」
Mira explained the situation in simple terms, but there was so much context missing that Julius just let out a confused sigh, unable to really understand anything.
「Anyway, I’m assuming you came here for a reason? What happened? I thought I was supposed to go chase after the thief now.」
Mira asked why Julius had come to see them there, as she could see the device indicating that Fuzzy Dice had not moved yet.
The detective plan had been completed, and all that remained was Mira’s own plan to chase after Fuzzy Dice. But since Julius was there, Mira could only assume that the detective had come up with a new plan.
「Well, the detective just said to tell you to go to the Union. He didn’t really tell me anything more.」「efn_note]Silva: This is it! Julius is Fuzzy Dice, I’m calling it!!![/efn_note]
