Mirif hid in the furthest stall of the bathroom to avoid me.

I had already wasted enough time waiting, so rather than stand around, I decided to continue the conversation with just a thin door between us.

"Mirif, I have no choice but to speak to you like this."

"W-what? Even here…?"

"I wouldn’t choose to have a serious conversation in this kind of place either, but you kept running away, so I had no choice. It’s not good to leave misunderstandings unresolved between us, is it?"

"……."@@novelbin@@

"I don’t have much time, so I’ll be direct, Mirif."

Even though I was technically on a break, Ethan might worry if I was too late, and Eris and Isabel were waiting for me, too. I decided to carefully bring up the topic of when Mirif had started avoiding me.

"Do you remember how I pretended to be a survivor from the beastman village in the professor's underground lab?"

"Yes…."

"Thanks to that act, we were able to escape from that demon professor, right?"

"That’s true… You were really amazing then…."

"Thank you. Anyway, I wanted to clarify because it seems you misunderstood something from my act that day. I’m not connected to the beastman village or demons in any way—I’m a 100% ordinary human."
