As she continued to experiment with her newfound abilities, the arrival of one of the other guests—not the exploding catgirl, luckily enough—caused Misaki to pause for a moment before nodding in response to their request. The company of the young woman who had accosted her earlier that day was, while unexpected, not wholly unwelcome. Though complete concentration to probe into the inner workings of magic might have been 'optimal', being aware of someone chasing after a similar goal meant that she had a reason to at least push herself further. She was already conscious of how much of a burden she would end up if she didn't at least pick up her slack, and as much as she wanted to explore the depths of that 'gift' that the goddess had given her, the acquisition of at least some combat or field utility had to come first.

At the very least, though, by the end of her tests, magic made at least a bit more sense to her; it wasn't anything groundbreaking by any means (at least, not by the standards of isekai in her eyes), but even that steady progress was more than she was hoping for.

The night, for the most part, had gone without incident. With the two new arrivals apparently sleeping in Lazirha's house with them, Misaki found it prudent to simply speak in Japanese when prompted by the warlord at her side. It was more than likely that they might be able to recognize the language itself, but to see if they could understand what they were saying...

Well, it'd be impressive if they could, but who knew where their origins and past studies lay?

Misaki woke up with a yawn and a slight stretch, glancing around for a moment before dragging herself to her feet. Though this body was by no means less physically fit than her old one, getting used to it in its entirety would definitely take a while. She had ignored the problem until now, but that didn't mean it had gone away entirely.

Of course, the first order of business right now was to secure supplies before a foray into the forest; other than food, though, that really just meant 'find Lazirha and get directions to not get lost'.

"Morning..." she called out, almost by instinct, as she walked over to the table and glanced at the food laid out. Assuming it was for them was logical, but just to be safe, Misaki chose to take a single slice of fruit and eat that in lieu of a proper meal.

They could get something heartier once they were out and about, after all.
