Chapter 53: Unfulfilled Desires
Night Lan returned to the lounge, and Night Star stepped out from the theater exit, randomly approaching the table.
On the table was the dinner that Night Lan had brought back, intended solely for filling Night Star’s belly.
Night Star then started eating voraciously.
Night Lan sat on the bed, scrolling through her phone, seemingly searching for something.
“Night Watcher official website…”
Night Lan was browsing the information on this site, which featured a very hot topic about the star eclipse event in the capital, as well as another recent buzz regarding the Rising Sun Theater Group’s shopping spree incident in Qi Yuan City.
“It seems like the Night Watchers have been keeping tabs on everything.”
After glancing at the next topic, Night Lan muttered and clicked in.
Then, Night Lan saw many Night Watchers discussing the matter.
After a cursory look, she found everyone was wondering why the seemingly performance-only Rising Sun Theater Group was hosting such human-centric events.
Moreover, they were also discussing a new stranger, specifically a Makeup Artist who had never before appeared in front of the Night Watchers.
As for the ghost girl, Eyper, she seemed to be completely undetectable by any monitoring system, hence the Night Watchers hadn’t spotted her at all.
And some pigeon just got totally ignored.
Seeing photos of the troupe members in new outfits being snapped, Night Lan couldn’t help but groan.
“Ooof! It feels like public shaming; thankfully I was wearing a mask at the time. Otherwise, I would surely be socially dead.”
After watching for a while, Night Lan shut down the website.
Meanwhile, Night Star finished her dinner too.
Now what?
Ah, right, they needed a bath!
The joy derived from bathing together could completely chase away today’s annoyance!
That d*mn star eclipse in the gaming area actually dared to reset her gaming account.
How dare they!
Fortunately, it’s just a reset. Her level isn’t very high anyway, so after a few days, she’ll be back up to speed.
If they banned her account, Night Lan was going to personally see them get their comeuppance!
She wondered if Qi Yuan City had dealt with that star eclipse yet.
Thinking of this, she sent a message to inquire.
Mo Qianmeng should know this.
However, Mo Qianmeng’s reply was that she didn’t know.
Because that star eclipse just vanished inexplicably.
“Curses, was it hiding? If I catch it tomorrow, you’re in for it, hmph!”
Night Lan promptly brushed off the incident from her mind.
d*mn, thinking about it only makes her madder.
When Night Lan put down her phone, she started to remove her clothes.
Night Star also took off her new garments.
The priority now was definitely to cuddle in the shower, rather than worry over troublesome matters.
A short while later, both Night Lan and Night Star, stark n*ked, got into the bathtub.
The former sitting in the latter’s lap, causing a substantial overflow of hot water from the tub. Their black and white hair mixed together naturally, without any incongruity.
“Hehe, that’s quite comfy.”
“Totally relaxed.”
Both Night Lan and Night Star narrowed their eyes in bliss, clearly enjoying themselves.
Thankfully, the bathtub was spacious enough; otherwise, two little lolis wouldn’t fit.
This tub could even accommodate one more loli.
“Hmm, we can add another loli.”
At this moment, Night Lan suddenly remembered the wish princess from her dreams.
That wish machine besides differing in its hair and eye color, looked exactly like Night Lan herself.
Including another one would triple the fun.
Although the wish princess did not share her sense with Night Lan, at least appearances matched, and her inner power had helped much, making it possible to snuggle too.
However, the question remained—could the wish princess appear in real life? The possibility seemed dim considering she could only manifest in dreams.
Night Lan fell silent, pondering the reality of the situation.
If wishing were possible, wouldn’t this wish come true too?
So, should she give wishing a shot?
In the peaceful, quiet bathroom, tiny droplets fell into the bathwater, ruffling slightly.
Two petite lolis bobbed in the steaming water, contemplating their options.
At this point, Night Lan spoke up.
“Err… Wish Princess, are you listening? If by making a wish, you could take my appearance and become real, would that work? In other words, do you want to come out? If you do, just say ‘uh’.”
But after waiting for a while, there was no stir from Extraordinary Star inside her.
Time continued to flow.
Finally unable to bear it any longer,
“Ugh! Forget it, let’s just do it!”
Night Lan sprang up, decisively.
“Wish Princess, hurry out of me! This is my wish!”
No sooner had the words left her lips when Night Lan and Night Star felt dizzy, and Night Lan, standing unsteadily, splashed into the water, creating a splash.
Splash!
“Grr…”
Night Lan emerged from the water, streams trickling down her hair, her eyes clearly filled with a haze of disappointment.
“It can’t be done…”
After a while, Night Lan composed herself.
She reconsidered again.
The reason why the wish princess hadn’t shown up was due to an unsuccessful wish, and an unsuccessful wish meant this desire couldn’t be fulfilled.
Why couldn’t it be fulfilled?
“It must be because my mental strength is too weak?”
Currently, her mental strength was only at level C, showing no significant progress since the start.
To bring Extraordinary Star to physical existence in reality would indeed be extremely difficult.
If this wish needed to be realized, perhaps more mental strength would be required.
For now, Night Lan wasn’t up to it.
“Since I need more mental strength, give some of yours to me… geez.”
Muttering this, she decided to stop overthinking it.
Initially hopeful, she now knew it would take time.
Soon after, Night Star and Night Lan exited the tub, drying each other’s hair and bodies, and eventually slipping into their nightwear.
Tonight would entail entering the dream world again.
Perhaps nothing major would happen.
Previously, after interaction with the night watchers, Night Lan discovered that the narrative of Dream Weaver did not interest the Night Watchers.
Even if the Night Watchers intended to find the dream storyteller, chances were they wouldn’t succeed.
Since Dream Weaver could observe the entirety of the dream and understand everything within nearly perfectly.
A Night Watcher trying to locate Dream Weaver under those circumstances would be impossible.
In light of this, Night Watchers seeking useful information in dreams might as well accept their futility.
Dressed in nightgowns, Night Star and Night Lan climbed into the bed in the lounge.
The clear message conveyed was evident.
Night Star would spend the night here, sleeping together with Night Lan!
Their freedom in the dream was relatively high.
Who knows? Night Lan might encounter the leader during her wanderings?
Earlier, the leader instructed her to follow the Night Watchers, making things safer.
If she did meet him, she wouldn’t be able to play with Kong Yu Bai and Book Yao.
Thus, the division for both of them entering the dream together was:
Night Lan should follow the leader, whereas Night Star should follow Kong Yu Bai and Book Yao.
Absolutely perfect!
