Gracelle rested after her surgery and received care from Myra and Juria. She was eager for chocolate but had to wait for Javier's approval. Mimi and Delya bickered over breakfast while Gracelle joined them. Mimi was excited to explore the manor, but Delya cautioned her about restricted areas. News of Liana and Gloria's return lifted Mimi's spirits, and Liana soon appeared, instructing Mimi to eat before greeting Delya and Gracelle.

Gracelle offered a graceful nod, her voice soft and polite.

"I’m feeling much better this morning, Big Sis Liana. I’ve been following all of Myra’s instructions, and I’ve even managed to walk a little on my own."

Liana’s smile softened, a gentle warmth in her eyes. "That’s good to hear. I’m glad you’re recovering well."

Before she could say more, Mimi rushed forward and hugged Liana from the side, rubbing her face against her arm, her tail swaying with pure joy. "Ehehehe! Big Sis! I missed you, nya!"

Liana raised the silver tray higher to keep it steady, exhaling softly before smiling. "Go take a seat. Let’s eat breakfast together."

"Okay, nya!" Mimi skipped back to the table and plopped down in her seat just as Liana placed the tray on the side table, setting a small jar of sauce at the center.

Mimi glanced around before asking, "Ne ne~"

"Hmm?" Liana glanced at her, narrowing her eyes slightly. "What now, Mimi?"

Mimi’s ears perked up. "Where’s Big Sis Gloria, nya?"

"Gloria? She’s preparing a herbal drink for Gracelle."

"Oh..." Mimi put one finger on her lips, tilting her head. "Is it tasty, nya?"

Liana smirked. "Don’t worry. I’ll let you have a taste."

Just as Mimi was about to say something, the door opened again, and Gloria stepped inside gracefully. She carried a refined silver tray with an elegant ceramic jug and a matching cup, walking slowly toward the table with measured, poised steps.

"Nya!? Oho~ Is that the herbal thing you mentioned, Big Sis?"

"Yes~" Liana smiled, her eyes glinting with a hint of mischief. "It’s a special elven recovery drink. Very good for healing and restoring energy."

"Wow! Really, nya?" Mimi’s eyes sparkled, her tail sway eagerly as she leaned forward. "Can I try it?"

Gloria tilted her head, glancing at Liana with a knowing look. "Are you sure you want to give this to Mimi?"

"Hmm?" Liana glanced up at Gloria, her smile innocent. "Why? It’s good for everyone, especially for those who need a little... energy boost."

Gloria shook her head and smiled, a soft chuckle escaping her lips. "Fine, fine. If you insist."

She placed the ceramic jug and matching cup on the table before setting the tray aside.

Mimi leaned forward eagerly the moment Liana reached for the jug. Liana lifted it gracefully and poured the tea into the cup, a stream of liquid flowing out in a mesmerizing deep amber hue, shifting into a soft golden glow as it settled, with faint swirls of silver dancing within the liquid.

"Whoa~ It’s beautiful, nya!" Mimi’s eyes widened, her tail standing straight in excitement.

"Yes," Liana said, her voice carrying a hint of pride. "The ingredients for this special brew are incredibly rare and difficult to obtain. It’s made from moonlit elven herbs, dawn dew collected from the sacred groves, and a single drop of sylvan nectar. It’s said to restore vitality and even enhance one’s natural energy."

"Really? Wow! This is the first time I’ve heard about this, nya!" Mimi’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Liana smiled warmly, while Gloria tilted her head in confusion. "Hmm? I’m sure your sister Felicia already know about this special brew."

"Nya?" Mimi tilted her head. "Why would Nee-sama know about this but not me?"

Delya let out an amused chuckle, covering her lips with her hand. "Perhaps because you always play around and never take your studies seriously."

Mimi pursed her lips before shrugging. "Study is boring, nya~" She turned to Delya with a curious look. "Did you know about this, Delya?"

Delya nodded softly, a gentle smile on her lips. "I learned about it during my lessons, but I never had the chance to try it until now."

Gloria smiled and shook her head, taking her seat beside Liana. She reached for the cup Liana had just poured, and everyone followed suit, each taking their own cup.

Mimi looked at everyone before reaching for her own cup. She brought it close to her nose, sniffing it gently. Her ears perked up, and a wide grin spread across her face.

"It smells really good, nya!"

Liana smiled, raising her cup gracefully to her lips as she glanced around at everyone.

"Make sure to drink it all. This special brew is hard to come by, and not everyone has the chance to taste it. It’s a true blessing from the elven sacred groves."

Everyone nodded in understanding. Mimi looked at her drink, then glanced around at everyone else before cautiously lifting the cup to her lips.

Her eyes widened instantly. She tilted her head to the side, her tongue sticking out slightly as she made a face.

"Peh peh! Nya! Bitter!!!!!!" She stuck her tongue out further, shaking her head vigorously. "How can something that smells so good taste so terrible, nya!?"

Liana’s sharp gaze intensified, her voice deepening into a low, authoritative command.

"Mimi, you ought to finish your beverage. There is no need to waste it."

Mimi’s throat tightened as Liana’s intimidating expression registered. She furtively scanned the surroundings, noting that everyone else had already emptied their glasses. Even Gracelle, observing her with kind smiles, had finished.

"Nya! But it’s quite bitter!"

Liana’s reply was measured yet unwavering. "You must finish the cup you’ve already sampled. This potion is valuable, and I dislike seeing anything go to waste, particularly something so rare."

"Nya! But..."

"No 'buts,'" Liana stated, a smile gracing her lips, though her eyes remained sharp. "Simply hold your breath and drain it in one large swallow."

"Mou! Very well!" Mimi pouted, her tail twitching with unease. She fixed her gaze upon the drink once more, a slight wrinkle forming on her nose before she finally lifted the cup, squeezed her eyes shut, and downed its contents in rapid succession.

Her face contorted into a theatrical display of disgust. Her eyes were tightly shut, her nose crinkled, and she thrust her tongue out with a visible shudder, shaking her head vigorously as if she had just encountered the most repulsive flavor imaginable. Her ears flattened, and her tail thrashed erratically as a prolonged, dramatic groan escaped her lips.

"Bleeeeeh! Nyaaaa! That was utterly dreadful!" She waved a hand in front of her mouth, her expression one of utter revulsion.

Gloria, her palm covering her mouth, emitted a soft, amused chuckle at Mimi’s theatrics, while Delya continued her meal, her expression lost in a blissful reverie. Gracelle retrieved her cutlery, selected a piece of fruit, and brought it to her mouth.

Her eyes widened slightly as the initial wave of sweetness enveloped her palate. A faint, appreciative smile touched her lips, a welcome change after numerous days subsisting solely on bland, medicinal porridge.

Liana observed this, a slight smile and shake of her head accompanying Mimi’s actions as the latter grabbed a chunk of meat, attempting to counteract the lingering bitterness. However, her face contorted once more.

"Nya! Even this meat tastes peculiar now!"

Shaking her head slightly, a ghost of a smile on her lips, Liana advised, "Consume the fruit, Mimi. It will aid in cleansing your palate."

Mimi cast a sulky glance her way. "But I do not care for fruit, nya!"

An amused laugh escaped Liana. "Well, if that is the case, all your food will retain a bitter aftertaste until nightfall."

"Eeehhhhh!!?? Nyaaaaaa!" Mimi’s cheeks puffed out before, with evident reluctance, she reached for her fork and speared a slice of fruit. Taking a tentative bite, she released a long, sigh of relief. The sweet nectar swiftly eradicated the persistent bitterness.

"Nya... finally..." she murmured softly, then eagerly reached for another piece, her tail swaying with contentment as she continued to eat the fruit, determined to banish the unpleasant taste completely.
