Mengdie shook her head and stretched out her hands to pull her up, scolding, "What are you talking about? You're so groggy. Hurry up and take a bath, I'll wash after you're done."
Mengdie originally just wanted to help Nia up and then let go. But unexpectedly, this little girl suddenly hugged Mengdie's waist tightly, rubbing her head constantly against Mengdie's chest, while continuously uttering words like "So fragrant, so fragrant," making Mengdie almost spit blood in anger.
"Mengdie sister, help me bathe～～～ You've never bathed with us. We are all girls, there's nothing wrong with helping me wash, right? Please?"
Mengdie, suppressing the fire in her heart, pried Nia's hands from around her waist, intending to persuade her. But although her waist was no longer embraced, her own hands were now tightly held in Nia's, who still had her eyes closed, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
"Wuuu... Mengdie sister... help me wash... please? I'm tired... I really want to sleep... Just help me wash, then help me dress...? I know, I am very willful... but I'm truly exhausted... please?"
"Help·me·wash·please～～～～～"
At that moment, Mengdie's brain pressure skyrocketed! Facing this little girl who usually didn't get angry, Mengdie for the first time felt the impulse to spank her hard. Without another word, Mengdie dragged Nia to the bathroom, picked her up, placed her in the bathtub, then turned on the hot water, and stormed out to the door.
"Don't come out for dinner if you don't wash!"
With a "bang!" Mengdie shut the door forcefully. She went to the mirror, untied her sash and hairpin, shook her head to let her hair fall loose. Looking at the beautiful girl with long hair in the mirror, her mood became incredibly depressed. She even lost the appetite to eat...
No, I can't surrender like this!

Mengdie took out a pair of gloves from her bosom, carefully putting them on. Once again looking at the beautiful girl in the mirror, her fists clenched, her eyes revealing a tenacious determination not to compromise with fate!
I will definitely take back my necklace, and my power!
And, I will also take back the body I originally had!!!

Another night, the air still heavy with fog that hadn't dispersed. After dinner, Mengdie, having just bathed with her hair still dripping, her fair skin softly glowing beneath her simple shirt, walked to her room. The scent of shampoo wafted from her hair as she passed by Edward, who had been pondering with his sword all day. Unable to resist, he spoke.
"Mengdie!"
"Hmm? What's up?" Hearing Edward calling, Mengdie turned to face him directly.
However, facing Mengdie, Edward became somewhat shy. He shrank his neck, and after much hesitation, muttered, "Tomorrow... we are setting off... you should rest early..."
"???"
Mengdie was puzzled, why did he stop her just to say this?
"I know, you should also sleep early. We will leave early tomorrow."
Edward, who looked full of thoughts, suddenly perked up at Mengdie's words. He nodded eagerly like a spring onion, holding his huge sword, and returned to his room. Mengdie shrugged, supporting the swaying Nia back to their room, putting the little girl on the bed, covering her with a blanket. Mengdie herself lay on another bed, staring at the ceiling, silently reflecting on her current situation before closing her eyes, falling asleep in her clothes. Soon, the room was filled only with the soft breathing of the two girls...
...
Above the towering clouds, three moons cast their gentle silver-gray light, quietly overlooking the earth. If these moons had life, could they see that the fog enveloping Galuru Town hadn't completely covered Misuriwa Lake, but was instead spreading from the center of Galuru Town? If they were alive, could they see through the thick fog to the town mayor's residence, which was now... emitting fire?
Fire.
Roaring flames.
Glass heated and expanded until it shattered, and countless flames leapt out of the numerous windows of the mayor's residence.

In the silence, the soundly sleeping Mengdie suddenly opened her eyes! She reflexively threw off the blankets, carefully observing her surroundings.
There was nothing unusual in the room, still pitch black. No strange sounds around, as if everything was still immersed in the peaceful, simple sleep just now...
"Mengdie slowly got up, enveloped by an inexplicable sense of unease. She moved cautiously around the room, and instinctively out of a sense of danger, she took out her pair of gloves and carefully put them on.
'Hey, Niya, get up quickly.' Mengdie took out a pocket watch to check the time; it was three o'clock in the early morning. It was the time when one's sleep is deepest. Little Niya was still lying on the soft bed, hugging the quilt and immersed in sleep, unresponsive to Mengdie's pushing except for a couple of whimpers, continuing to sleep.
Mengdie did not have the patience she had the day before. She suddenly flung off the quilt and dragged Niya off the bed entirely! Niya, deep in sleep, suddenly fell to the floor, the pain in her back immediately waking her from her dreams. But when she saw that there was nothing unusual around her, only Mengdie, her originally tense face relaxed again, and she lay down, ready to climb back onto the bed."
