As I said earlier, in Mira, we song maidens are in a position very close to that of a Diva.
Or rather, the “apprentice Divas of shops” on this island would probably be called “song maidens” on other islands.
On Mira, “song maiden” refers to girls who have already become fully qualified to open their own stores or take care of one on their own.
And, just like on other islands, we also properly show our guests around the island of Mira.
For this reason, song maidens have a very close relationship with all of Mira’s spirits, be they pure spirits, monsterized spirits, or even dark spirits, they’re just like good friends♪
The monsters that live on Mira can easily communicate with monsterized and dark elementals, but understanding pure elementals is very difficult.
Therefore, it can be said that a song maiden can only start to stand on her own once she is able to borrow the power of a pure spirit.
Why is it so difficult?... Hmmm, it’s a little hard to say, but pure spirits have a form that changes very easily with nature, yeah, and pure spirits are Mira’s nature itself, I suppose?
However, one of the duties of a song maiden is to guide people around the town of Mira, like I’m doing with you right now, so we have to get along well with pure spirits.
I’ll tell you why that is.
Mira is located in the middle of a vast swath of nature, and there are quite a few places around town that are rather complicated.
Mira can sometimes feel like a “labyrinth” to people due to its many complex waterways, hidden pathways that spread out behind collapsed ruins, wharfs obscured by countless tress, and so on.
In particular, there are many people dizzily walking around drunk and feeling good...♥
It’s not uncommon for people in that situation to lose track of where they are♪
Moreover, the appearance of Mira’s towns is transformed by the day-to-day weather, the changing seasons, and the ever-growing nature that changes with the passage of time, so after a while, the roads that were once passable... are no longer passable.
So, it is very difficult to get a perfect picture of Mira’s townscape. 
We song maidens also carry maps, and we even make new ones with marks on them, but that’s not to say they are always reliable. In order to guide people around Mira, we still need to listen to the voices of the spirits that drift about the island, and borrow their power.
The reason I’m able to row this boat and guide you around like this is because the pure spirits around us are telling me things like “This waterway is really nice~”, or “That flower garden over there is beautiful today”♪
And that’s why, in order to meet the condition of being a song maiden, “Guiding people around Mira”, you have to be able to properly bond with this island’s spirits♪
For this reason, it’s essential for all apprentice Divas to not only complete our “bridal training”, which includes studying housework, cooking, and how to please men, but also come into close contact with spirits in the great outdoors of Mira! Ufufu, we song maidens could be called fine “elementalists” don’t you think?
After all, there are many song maidens who have become able to use “elemental magic” while interacting with spirits♪

Oh, naturally, if you’re going to run a store as a song maiden, the most important thing is management skills, right?
There are two main ways to learn them.
The first is to study at a “Spirit House”, a place where all of us song maidens gather to... hm? Yes, that’s correct, I’m also a graduate of a Spirit House, so I suppose it’s like another home to me...?
Ufufu, as a song maiden apprentice, it’s a way to learn various things from the older song maidens♪
And then, the other way is to learn how to manage a store at your own home from your parents, just like Fulafel-chan did.
Eh? Which is more popular? Hmmm... it’s hard to say, but basically, everyone goes to a “Spirit House” first.
Some of the apprentice song maidens whose parents own a shop in Mira learn by helping them out at first, but many still end up at a Spirit House.
After all, it’s great to be able to have a cooking class and study spiritish as well.
Being able to see how their senior song maidens manage their shops, instead of just their parents’ shop, is a great learning opportunity for aspiring song maidens, and more importantly... The most enjoyable part of the Spirit House is the stories of how the older song maidens with partners met their husbands, and the stories of their nightly activities...♥ Ufufu, everyone would be keenly interested in the senior song maidens’ stories, and we would all gather around in a circle and get riled up by our seniors’ stories...♥
Back when I had first arrived at a Spirit House, whenever night fell, I just couldn’t wait to hear the stories my seniors would tell, and hoped that one day I could also do the same with my young students... Ugh, and yet, even though I have even more seniority, I still don’t have a partner or any experience... Uh... At this rate, I’ll never be able to share stories, I’ve become such a worthless senior... U-ufufu... That’s right, you’ll just have to help me out, for the sake of my cute juniors... Won’t you♥

Haa, don’t do this, me, if you suddenly get into a rut with the customer... Ufufu, don’t worry, I still have my wits about me...!
W-well, let’s just discuss that later♪
The apprentice song maidens who studied at a Spirit House become song maidens once they graduate, and open up their own shops.
At that time, the spirits they made friends with tell them a good place to open up a shop. Sometimes, they even open up a shop together with the spirit♪
But for a song maiden, the real work begins when she opens up her shop!
When you open a store in Mira, it seems like there is no end to the customers, so you end up quite busy♪ Mira isn’t just a place for tourists, there are also people who come from the other islands in Court Alf to eat and drink♪
There are many song maidens from other islands who come here after work to have drinks with their friends, and even Divas who have retired from the frontlines come here with their husbands to enjoy a meal and spend the night♪
Even on the other islands, we monsters often finish our work early, so in some cases, people come to Mira in the early afternoon to have drinks, and then go around “barhopping” from one place to another♪

Therefore, it’s not uncommon to have a constant stream of customers until nightfall, and in some shops, the atmosphere is more relaxed at night, and you may be entertaining regulars♥
Mira’s song maidens often take a day off the day after opening up their shops, and those with husbands often spend some time relaxing with them, but those that don’t have husbands yet often guide tourists like I am now♪
Ufufu, of course, single men are the targets... or rather, they’re popular♪ But, it’s not often I get to guide a single man around... So this is my chance! Ah, that’s not it! We also properly guide women, monster couples, and lovers, and we want everyone that comes to this island to enjoy themselves and want to help people connect and deepen their love...♥

Eventually... I shouldn’t have to say this, but we will naturally be called “Divas” in Mira’s shops. However, I’m sure everyone would love to receive a romantic proposal from a wonderful man along the lines of “Please become a Diva just for me!”♥
I’m the same... Fufu, ufufu♥ A shop at night with no one around but you and me...♥ You’ve gotten hot from the alcohol, and are leaning against me as if taking advantage of me, you’re already drunk...? No matter what I say, you wouldn’t stop that day, and you pin me down behind the counter, and I become your personal Diva... and such♥
A-after all, I like that sort of thing, ufufu♪ Don’t mind me♪

A-anyway, the “Island Diva” that represents and symbolizes the island is selected from the song maidens that have come to be called Divas, in a meeting of all of the “Shop Divas”.
The island’s Diva is replaced at irregular intervals, but as expected, it seems most of them are replaced once they’ve gotten married. They get busy with other things after all...♥
They gather at a Spirit House, the currently retired island Divas at the forefront, and they discuss who among the unmarried song maidens would be best, but there are a lot of different opinions, and there are actually conflicting ways of deciding.
In some cases, they are chosen based on their singing ability like Fulafel-chan, and sometimes, if there is an establishment with a good reputation on the other islands, they’ll feel like choosing a song maiden from there.
We also may hold a tasting party and select the song maiden that prepared the most delicious food, oh, and in an unusual case, we may choose a song maiden that grew wonderful crops♪
The way our song maidens and Diva behave may, perhaps, seem a little sloppy compared to other islands, but in Mira, we love to give you an atmosphere where everything is “live and let live”, or rather, where everything feels like it is decided naturally as is, in a relaxed way, without being rushed♥ And so, if you and I are attracted to each other naturally like this... Ufufufu♪
