Chapter 15: The Day of the Weekend
As time ticks by, the weekend looms ever closer.
Today is the day before the grand performance, and it’s the Friday that every student has been waiting for!
For the past few days, Night Lan has been enjoying her time snuggling.
To get close to Zero Meow, she first has to subdue her—tickling her little waist will turn her into a drowsy, floppy kitty!
Once she’s soft and limp, Zero Meow won’t budge no matter what Night Lan does, making snuggling a breeze.
She doesn’t even react when poked like a little pudding!
The other Lolis aren’t as hard to snuggle with.
Star Yoon is the easiest; as long as she’s lying there playing games, Night Lan can pounce and rub her black-and-white mixed treat of a face, as long as she doesn’t interrupt her gameplay.
Then there’s Neko Shinna, where snuggling often turns into feeding play.
Whenever Night Lan gets close, Neko Shinna thinks it’s snack time and has a little bag ready to feed Night Lan.
Even though Night Lan feels a bit embarrassed being fed by a little girl, being able to lick Neko Shinna’s soft, pink fingers makes it all worth it.
What’s more important, adult dignity or snuggling with a Loli? (Shocking!)
As for White Fish, snuggling with her is even easier!
White Fish is always up for it; whenever Night Lan approaches, she gives this “I get it” look and opens her arms for a hug, it’s enough to melt Night Lan’s heart.
This kind of affection is mixed with understanding and pampering—no matter what Night Lan does, White Fish is all in.
So these days have left Night Lan feeling pretty satisfied.
Night Star is in a similar boat.
She does have a stage play to rehearse, so she’s not as free as Night Lan.
But rehearsals only need to happen once a day to keep the vibe alive, leaving plenty of time to slack off afterward.
In the theater, there’s only Lianhua, the little Loli; everyone else is either a young lady or a big sister.
Even though Night Star loves Lolis, she still sneaks some cuddles from the young ladies like Kong Yu Bai, as well as Book Yao, the big sister.
While they might not be as cute and heart-healing as Lolis, at least they have human hearts, right!?
And these nice human hearts are perfect for burying your head and relaxing.
Isn’t that a kind of healing too?
However, after snuggling with everyone, Night Star often finds herself in deep thought.
She’s becoming increasingly mischievous.
Back when she used to snuggle with the Lolis or Kong Yu Bai, she used to feel shy and wouldn’t dare take the initiative.
But recently, she’s found herself actively seeking out snuggles and even daring to make some slightly inappropriate moves.
That’s something new!
It’s as if something inside her has awakened or she’s bypassed some personal limits, leading to this newfound boldness.
But Night Star feels great about it! Once she had one snuggle, she wanted more.
Snuggling brings joy to the heart; the ones being snuggled feel happy too—what’s not to love?
If Lolis are a bit naughty, so be it; it’s better than being a silly Loli!
…
As time passes, the day draws to a close.
Night Lan is lounging in the Zero Meow lounge, her head buried between White Fish’s silky white knees.
“Smells good~”
“Don’t say such strange things, Night Lan…”
White Fish’s face turns slightly pink as she feels Night Lan’s warm breath; it’s a bit embarrassing.
Sure, it’s fine to provide a knee pillow for Night Lan, but she always has to say something weirdly suggestive to tickle the emotions. It’s just a tad overwhelming.
At her core, White Fish is just a pure Loli with a grasp on the world that’s slightly too deep—she doesn’t have any naughty thoughts.
Suddenly, White Fish recalls something and lowers her head to whisper, “Night Lan, isn’t the grand performance happening tomorrow? When will you take Zero Meow and the others into the theater?”
“Hmm… probably tomorrow morning,” Night Lan mumbles, having made up her mind.
No matter what, she’ll take Zero Meow and the gang to Qi Yuan City first, then she can explain everything later.
Meanwhile, Zero Meow, sitting on the bed, seems to have caught wind of their whispering.
“What are you two whispering about, meow?”
Night Lan quickly lifts her head and hurriedly shakes it.
“Nothing at all!”
Zero Meow eyes her suspiciously before finally shaking her head with resignation.
“Forget about that, meow. Tomorrow’s the weekend, right? Didn’t you say you’d take us to Qi Yuan City?”
“Well~ we’ll set off tomorrow. I have a super fast way to get you there!”
“Really, meow? This cat is so curious!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll satisfy your curiosity tomorrow,” Night Lan says mysteriously, revealing nothing at all.
“Hmm, meow?”
Zero Meow tilts her head, looking quite puzzled.
White Fish smiles and watches the exchange.
That’s true.
While Zero Meow suspects Night Lan is connected to the Rising Sun Theater Group, she has no idea about the theater’s spatial shifting capabilities.
Night Lan has already spilled the beans about her secret to White Fish.
Knowing Night Lan’s secret right off the bat is pretty impressive.
But sadly, this secret will eventually be known to more people. It would be nice if there was an even deeper secret that only she knew…
I wonder if there is?
…
One night passes.
The sky begins to brighten, heralding the arrival of a new day!
Today is the first day of the weekend and the moment for the Rising Sun theater group’s grand performance!
However, it’s still early; many might not have woken up yet, and they’ll have to wait until around noon for the festivities to kick off.
Once the foot traffic in Qi Yuan City peaks, the grand performance can finally commence as planned.
At nine in the morning.
In Fish Playing House.
Night Lan and White Fish, each cuddling a black and white Loli, wake up with a yawn, just emerging from their dreams.
Then they jump out of bed to wash up, get dressed, and one heads out while the other stays home.
As Night Star watches Night Lan step out, she turns and makes her way to the wall to open the theater door before stepping inside.
The group leader and the others are already gathered, seemingly waiting for Night Star for quite some time.
As the audience performer arrives, the theater group members greet her.
“Audience Performer, good morning!”
“How did you sleep last night?”
Night Star beams in response, “I slept great! I’m feeling energize now!”
Right now, Night Star looks truly vibrant—there’s no need to worry about her state.
The theater group members breathe a sigh of relief.
Just then, the makeup artist claps her hands with a cheerful smile.
“Let’s start with the makeup. We don’t have much time left before we head out.”
Everyone nods and begins to line up for their makeup.
Mo Rabbit is the first to go.
“Ugh…”
Mo Rabbit trudges into the makeup artist’s room, utterly defeated.
Time to get “cute” again.
Every time she gets made up, that Night Star character has to butter her up, calling her cute.
Mo Rabbit does not appreciate that kind of compliment.
It’s a bit too pointed.
It makes her feel like she’s the target of some prank.
Ugh, so hard to handle!
