Five white bread loaves, two plates of bacon, and four cups of warm water were Saifei'er and the others' dinner today, which could be described as very, very simple.
When Ailiya ordered, Saifei'er specifically checked the menu. White bread was 5 Copper Acorns each, bacon was 1 silver lion per plate, and warm water was free. So, this meal cost a total of 4.5 silver lions.
After chatting for a few moments, Saifei'er also generally understood the world's currency system. The most valuable was the Gold Dragon, which was what most people recognized as gold coins. 1 Gold Dragon equaled 10 silver lions, which equaled 100 Copper Acorns.
Most commoners in this world earned about 4 to 6 Copper Acorns a day, working themselves to death. The food these people ate every day was black bread worth 2 Copper Acorns, which was hard and unpalatable, often mixed with strange things like tree bark. It could be said that their lives were very miserable.
Saifei'er bit into the white bread in her hand. In her opinion, it was incredibly hard, far worse than the bread she ate in her previous life.
The bacon was also tough to chew, like gnawing on wax, and had no flavor. The warm water also had a strange, inexplicable taste.
"Blech~" Saifei'er stuck out her delicate pink tongue, a pained expression on her face. She suddenly felt grateful that she had a system when she transmigrated and transformed herself into this appearance. If she had 'body transmigrated,' with her previous body, putting aside everything else, just this food alone would have tortured her to death.
Could the pampered body of a modern person truly endure the food of ancient times?
At this moment, Ailiya couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you not used to eating these things?"
The reason she noticed immediately was that Ailiya's attention was mostly on Saifei'er.
And similarly, most of Saifei'er's attention was actually on Ailiya. Compared to a crying burly man and a poker-faced teenager next to them, a young and adorable beautiful girl was definitely more pleasing to the eye!
It was quite absurd, both of them mutually found the other very cute and paid close attention.
Saifei'er put down the half-eaten bread in her hand and nodded gently, "Indeed, I'm a little unaccustomed to it."
In contrast, Ailiya and Fei had long since finished their bread, while Douglas had eaten one and a half, staring silently at the remaining half.
Ailiya couldn't help but ask, "Huh, Douglas, weren't you very hungry just now? Why aren't you eating anymore?"
Saifei'er casually said, "Oh, actually, I was just talking nonsense. Douglas, he..."
However, before she could finish, Douglas abruptly stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth and mumbled, "I'm just taking a breather, *hic*—I'm so full... No, I'm so hungry, I ate so well!"
Saifei'er, "..."
After dinner, the four split into pairs and returned to their respective hotel rooms. As soon as they entered the room, Ailiya went to the washroom and picked up the wooden bucket, "I'm going to get some hot water now. Sister Saifei'er, will you shower first or will I?"
"Shower... shower!?" Saifei'er couldn't help but be stunned. Are we getting into such heavy stuff right away? She really wanted to answer, 'Can I not shower?' But she thought about it again, she couldn't escape it forever, it was bound to happen sooner or later. So, she took a deep breath and said, "I'll go first."
Finish showering quickly and then escape into bed to sleep!
Not long after, Ailiya returned carrying a wooden bucket full of warm water. After placing it in the washroom, she took out a small gray square and a small clump of grass from her luggage and handed them to Saifei'er.
The former was a simple soap made from animal fat and special herbs, while the latter was a plant called 'Chewing Grass.' After chewing it in the mouth and rinsing, then spitting it out, it could clean teeth. This was also the most common 'brushing item' used by adventurers in this world.
As for why it was said to be for adventurers, it was because ordinary commoners lived hand-to-mouth, so how could they worry about hygiene issues?
After taking these two items, Saifei'er slowly closed the washroom door, then gently swallowed. She first took off her high heels, stepping barefoot on the wooden floor, experiencing the long-lost sensation of her soles and heels touching the ground simultaneously.
Surprisingly, even though she had worn high heels all day and walked on mountain roads, her ankles didn't ache at all now, nor did she feel any discomfort.
Saifei'er bent slightly, looking down at her feet (because she couldn't see them by just lowering her head). Her arches curved like a crescent moon, and her ten pearl-like round and cute toes were painted with the same golden nail polish as her fingers. Her ankles were so slender they seemed like translucent thin-bodied porcelain, with two protruding bone beads outlining delicate curves beneath the skin.
Saifei'er suddenly recalled that a certain famous 'stinky foot bar' in her previous life often said that if you wore boots barefoot all day, the sweat would be trapped inside, and your feet would definitely smell very strong.
So she sat on the ground, lifted her right foot to her nose, and sniffed. 'Hmm, there's no strange smell?'
Then, the next second, her face suddenly flushed, and she quickly put her foot down. 'Wait, what exactly am I doing!?'
Afterward, Saifei'er continued to undress, taking off her hood, top, and shorts, unfastening her neck ring and leg rings. Her outfit looked complicated, but in reality, its structure was quite simple, only becoming a bit troublesome when she got to her tail.
Saifei'er held her tail with one hand and her top with the other, slowly pulling her tail out of the hole deliberately left in the clothing.
It's worth mentioning that there was no strange 'tail is a sensitive spot' setting. When Saifei'er touched her tail, it was no different from touching her other hand or her leg with her hand. Her cat tail was just an extra limb for her, like a 'third hand' or 'third leg.' Conversely, the inside of her cat ears was truly sensitive.
After successfully undressing, Saifei'er went to the wooden bucket for bathing. She first lifted her small foot and touched the water surface with her toes, testing the water temperature. Once it felt just right, she fully entered.
Her fingers glided over her smooth skin, feeling the simultaneous sensations on her fingertips and skin. Saifei'er's small face was flushed. She placed her right hand on her chest and could clearly feel her heartbeat accelerating.
Then, her fingers couldn't help but slowly slide down, and her cheeks grew redder and redder, as if steam was rising from the top of her head. Until one moment, she suddenly reacted, shaking her head abruptly, picking up the cleaning supplies Ailiya had just given her from outside the wooden bucket, and began to bathe normally.
She had almost, by some strange impulse, done something odd, but thankfully she stopped herself in time.
