My body suddenly felt cold sweat, who appeared on my back.

The questions from my twin sister and Sia sounded same, about my sweaty panties for whatever reason, being the main topic of this conversation.

I was also confused by Iona's words and tilted my head, not understanding what Iona had said.

"Why does Onee-sama look confused, too?" asked Alice, still not understanding the topic of conversation.

"Because I don't know... why my sweaty panties are getting brought into this conversation, Alice," I replied, still confused by what Iona had said.

Iona, cradled in my arms, smiled innocently, feeling nothing wrong.

"I think, it was just a misunderstanding, something that was hard to explain in words..."

"My supreme Commander, didn't you give Aiko and Sirius the sweaty panties imbued with magical energy to evolve their magic core?" In an innocent tone, unaware of the misunderstanding she had caused, Iona asked me again.

"I don't remember ever giving my sweaty panties to Aiko or Sirius. Something as embarrassing as that must have been etched into my subconscious, Iona."

"Eh? But that's happened before, and it caused their magic cores to evolve after eating the Supreme Commander's sweaty panties!" Iona said in a loud tone.

With that loud tone from Iona, I closed my eyes and tried to remember an incident related to my sweaty panties filled with magical energy.

"Hmm..." I muttered after realizing some oddities that I found in Iona's words.

"My sweaty panties?" I continued muttering after realizing the fatal oddity.

"Have you... ever eaten the magical energy from my sweaty panties, Aiko?" To confirm my suspicions, I asked Aiko and listened to her testimony.

I wish Aiko had never done that, but the answer that came from Aiko was a nod of her head that confirmed Iona's words.

Nod...

"..." the nod of her head that answered my question, of course, made me speechless.

"Zoe, does this have anything to do with you?" I asked Zoe, who was hiding behind my hair.

Of all the possibilities, I can only think of one that would explain the significance of sweaty panties imbued with magical energy. After all, that sweaty panties would transform into a magic catalyst and become a delicious food for the spirits.

The only one who knows about it, is Zoe.

She is the only spirit who always enjoys my sweaty panties as a main meal.

Flap...

Flap...

From behind my head, Zoe looked like she had woken up from a long sleep and crawled out from inside my hair.

"Did you call me for asked something, Master Lily?" Zoe asked casually and flapped her butterfly wings to fly around me.

"Yes, there are a few things... I suspect about you as a culprit, Zoe," I continued, glancing at Aiko, who looked anxious.

"Master Lily, why I feel like I'm involved in a problem that I didn't cause?"

"Because you are indeed involved in this matter, Zoe."

"H-Huh? Why?" Zoe responded to my answer in a tone of confusion and didn't seem to take my suspicions seriously.

"Iona, can you explain what you said to my butterfly spirit?" I asked Iona, who was still cradled in my arms.

"Yes, Supreme Commander," Iona replied, re-explaining about my sweaty panties.

As Iona explained what she had learned from Aiko and Sirius' rapidly evolving magic cores, my gaze fell on Alice and Alyssa's hair, which suddenly glowed, revealing their butterfly spirits they had contracted with.

This is the first time I have seen the appearance of a spirit that was summoned by materializing its physical form into this mortal world, before transferring its consciousness from the spirit realm to this mortal world.

Because Zoe had always appeared from behind my hair, I hadn't paid much attention to how spirits appeared after being summoned by their Masters, who had made contracts with them.

"S-So... my Master summoned me because her sweaty panties have caused Aiko and Sirius to evolve into stealth slimes that have large magic cores?"

"D-Does that really have anything to do with me?" asked Zoe, who looked normal and calm after listening to Iona's explanation.

"Of course it has something to do with you, Zoe. You're the only one who could use my sweaty panties as a high catalyst. I'm pretty sure you've been doing something with Aiko and Sirius, without me knowing, and using my sweaty panties" I replied to refute Zoe's statement.

"Huh? If it's a matter of my Master's sweaty panties, I'd rather enjoy that high-quality magic catalyst with my little sister and myself alone. There's no way I'd share a magic catalyst with Aiko and Sirius—"

"W-We've had a high-quality magic catalyst party together, you know!" Aiko chimed in while Zoe was talking.

The testimonies from Zoe and Aiko seem to differ from each other, as Zoe incriminate as a butterfly spirit who knows that my sweaty panties can be a catalyst for high-level magic, which is her favorite food.

"Now that I think about it, it seems like something like that... Really happened," Zoe said, starting to doubt her own memory.

"U-Umm... It happened quite a long time ago, right around the time we went to prepare for a military expedition and prepare for a counterattack related to the flow of a large river that passes through several other noble territories around Marquess Rommel's territory," said Aiko, who gave some clues about the events that occurred that day.

It had been a long time since the incident happened, and I didn't even notice my panties suddenly disappearing. Except one night, I woke up to an itchy feeling on my thigh and the sensation that someone had changed my panties , as it felt so smooth to the touch of small fingers.

Moreover, I also found my panties dried out and looking like stones thrown around the river.

"I remember something strange that happened to my panties, which suddenly dried out," I muttered softly.

"I find my panties drying out and couldn't be used anymore, so I threw it away. Does my panties drying out have anything to do with you, Zoe?" While maintaining my gentle tone, I tried to remain calm in front of Zoe and Iona, who I was holding in my arms.

"I-I don't know, my Master..." replied Zoe, who had now flown and perched on Aiko's hair.

"I-I don't really remember that incident. M-Maybe it happened before, or I really forgot about it," Zoe continued, sounding like a person who had just been caught red-handed after doing something wrong.

Zoe's attitude and behavior of deliberately forgetting important events in the past made me take a deep breath.

"I'm not mad about this... it actually gave me a great idea to give my sweaty panties to the hard-working stealth slime," I said as I put down Iona, who was in my arms.

After holding Iona in my arms for a long time and calming her down to act like an innocent little girl, I immediately put my hands on my waist and got ready to take off the panties I was wearing.

Slush...

With slow movements and making sure my hand movements weren't too lewd, I quickly lowered my panties without removing the short military uniform skirt I was wearing and looked around me.

"Umm... if possible, please don't look at me with such sharp eyes," I said to Sia and my twin sister, who suddenly looked at me with sharp eyes.

"N-No need to worry, Onee-sama. I won't peek any further than this," Alice replied with a gentle smile and her sharp eyes fixed on my short military uniform skirt.

"Lily-nee, can I cast a wind spell to cool Lily-nee's thighs? The air around here feels hotter, right? This is the perfect time to cool Lily-nee's thighs with some fresh, cool air!" said Alyssa, who was already to cast magic with her magic staff in hand.

Alice and Alyssa looked excited as I was about to take off my sweat-soaked panties.

The plan was... I would give my sweaty panties to Iona as a reward for her hard work in leading the stealth slime herd while Aiko and Sirius were busy with their tasks.

Luckily, I didn't just take off my panties and look around.

"Sia, there's no need to stare at me with such a sharp, glaring gaze," I said to Sia, who was still staring intently at me without blinking.

"Lily-chan, this is my golden opportunity to see the forbidden purity of a cute and beautiful Saintess like you. Please don't forbid me from seeing it," said Sia, who for some reason was as excited as my twin sister.

What is happening to the three of them?

Why did the three of them become like this?

Even though I just wanted to take off my sweaty panties...

Because Sia and my twin sister kept staring at me with piercing eyes, I had to take off my panties with unbearable embarrassment.

Sluuuusshh...

By pulling my soft, sweat-soaked panties down, I felt a sudden rush of fresh air pass through my crotch.

Swooossshhh...

The cold breeze passed through my crotch, almost lifting my short military uniform skirt, but was held back by the position of my hands, which were still slowly lowering my panties.

My panties felt wet with sweat, and my eyes, which were sensitive to magical energy, noticed the residue of holy magical energy coming from the Goddess of Destruction on my sweaty panties.

Ploooppp...

With a quick movement...

Without lifting my military uniform skirt...

Snap!!

I immediately snapped my fingers to open my magic storage box and took out the new panties that I had bought at the Yurification Shop.

For some reason, the panties sold at the Yurification Shop felt different from the panties sold in women's underwear stores. I didn't want to compare the vastly different qualities, such as the soft and rough textures of the fabric. Because it would be rude to compare panties from another world with the panties sold in my world.

Poooopppp...

With a small jump and putting on my panties in a quick motion, I almost pull-up my military uniform skirt and showed something embarrassing to the people around me.

Even though they were all women, I still felt embarrassed after my forbidden parts were peeked at by other women.

"Tch, that was close!" Alyssa grumbled, sounding disappointed and clicking her tongue.

"Uuhh!! I could have seen it if it just up higher a little bit," Alice grumbled, looking annoyed about my military uniform skirt.

"..." Meanwhile, Sia was silent and bit her lip.

With one swift movement, I removed my sweaty panties and was wearing new, soft panties.

I had just gotten away with something embarrassing about myself quickly, but somehow... it made my twin sister and Sia feel disappointed about it.
