Chapter 20: Sense of Humor
As the sky darkened,
Sharon had arranged a room for Night Lan, offering considerable personal space.
After returning to the room and securing the door, Night Star appeared beside her using Teleportation.
At any rate, they’d definitely be sharing the bed when they slept.
It was just a matter of keeping it from Sharon’s notice.
“Uwa~”
Night Lan and Night Star lay on the soft, cushy bed, relaxing.
“Mm… Sharon must be considered a wealthy woman of this era. With such a big house and a comfortable bed, staying by her side seems pretty decent.”
As for Night Star,
“Compared to her, Yuri…”
Night Star sighed lightly.
Yuri’s words were half-truths, making communication extremely troublesome. It would take a long time until she could trust him.
It stood to reason.
People who often lie rarely trust others.
This situation troubled Night Star.
She hoped Yuri wouldn’t lead her astray too much. Otherwise, even if he were a swindler in human times, Night Star wouldn’t spare him.
Besides, Night Star still didn’t understand Yuri’s intentions.
Just like Hughes.
Yuri surely had something crucial to attend to, which might explain his transformation into Star Eclipses.
Yet, his intentions were clearly more confusing than Hughes’.
Unraveling Yuri’s purpose required more time.
If only Mo Rabbit were here.
She might help figure it out swiftly.
Moving on.
It was bed time.
Night Star and Night Lan had already bathed and were ready to rest.
However, two Lolis weren’t enough; three were needed.
Since Sharon’s guest room was spacious and the bed ample, accommodating three Lolis was no problem.
A white flash.
Wish Princess reappeared.
Now clad in thin nightwear that hinted at her delicate skin, Wish Princess looked quite appealing.
It was commendable how Wish Princess’s appearance could change according to Night Star Lan’s thoughts.
Night Lan wore pajamas Sharon provided.
Night Star donned the one traded with a merchant.
While Wish Princess wore what Night Star Lan imagined: a seductive yet transparent nightie.
Same face, different vibes.
Simply awesome.
“Woo-hoo! The best pillow has arrived! Tonight, let’s try sleeping together for the first time!”
Night Lan and Night Star held Wish Princess in bed, grinning happily.
Wish Princess made no move of resistance, seemingly lost in thought.
Then, a blush spread over her face. Clearly, Night Star Lan couldn’t resist being mischievous.
It reminded her of the strange sensations earlier in the bathhouse.
Odd feelings.
Why did she feel that?
It baffled her.
Soon, Night Lan ceased her antics and held Wish Princess properly.
If Wish Princess suddenly vanished as before, getting annoyed would be disastrous.
Better not risk it, so sleep it is.
“Good night.” x2
…
The next morning.
Night Lan and Night Lan woke up refreshed from their soft bed.
When her eyes opened, her first sight was Wish Princess.
She seemed to have stayed awake all night, quietly embraced by Night Lan.
She was an incarnation of Extraordinary Star.
Neither Star Eclipses nor Star needed sleep.
Sleep held no real meaning for a manifestation of power.
“Morning, Wish Princess.”
“Mmm… Your body is so soft, Wish Princess. Just like me… No, it feels just the same, even the scent is similar.”
Unable to empathize, or else, it would make them one soul in three bodies.
But wasn’t it fun like this?
After all, this was Wish Princess!
Not yet human—precisely what mattered most.
Snuggling with such a powerful entity felt unbelievably satisfying!
And her Loli self never got angry.
Whatever Night Lan did, no protests, making everything extremely interesting!
So when waking up, Night Lan indulged in more snuggling, extremely pleased.
With Wish Princess blushing slightly, vanishing, Night Lan reluctantly halted.
Wish Princess was perfect except for an easy blush.
Why would a star manifestation exhibit bashful behavior?
Probably instinctual responses after transforming into a Loli.
Adorable indeed.
“Nope, my stomach’s growling. Time to get up.”
Night Star flashed back to her tiny house; Night Lan changed into daily clothes and left her room.
It was early morning, dawn barely breaking.
However, Night Lan wasn’t first up.
In the hall, Sharon sat on the sofa, hand on a steaming coffee mug, apparently up for a while.
“Greetings.”
“Greetings.” Sharon replied warmly.
“Care for breakfast? I could ask the staff to prepare a meal.”
“Whatever you fancy, I’ll follow suit.”
Night Lan didn’t know what delicacies awaited at Sharon’s.
She was so wealthy; food should be exceptional.
Sharing meals with Sharon certainly wouldn’t be a loss.
Smiling, Sharon raised an eyebrow.
“My breakfast is rather bitter. Are you sure about that?”
Recalling Night Lan’s dislike for bitter things,
“Ah! No, thank you! Just give me normal stuff.”
Night Lan nearly panicked.
This lady’s taste was intense!
Liking extra-bitter coffee was one thing.
Even enjoying bitter breakfasts!
This lady wasn’t entirely normal.
Amused, Sharon burst into laughter.
“Don’t worry. Just a tease. My meals are light.”
Then Sharon beckoned a servant to prepare Night Lan’s breakfast.
“Ah… Didn’t expect you to be crafty… Is this etiquette?”
Night Lan’s gaze became pouty.
Facing Night Lan’s jabs, Sharon sipped her coffee gently.
“You could call this humor. A refined lady needs a bit of wit,” Sharon mused.
“I don’t think teasing counts as humor…”
Night Lan kept grumbling and moved to freshen up.
Back in the hall.
Breakfast awaited.
No poison worries, she dived into the meal.
“Mmm… When do we meet Hughes?”
Compared to Yuri, Night Lan found Hughes easier to talk to.
Chivalry wasn’t a joke.
Why was Yuri lacking in manners?
Born in the same era as Hughes.
If only Yuri hadn’t swarmed Night Lan with lies, turning her life into a chaotic lie-fest.
Presently, Yuri wanted to con even Night Star.
Softly responding, “Well, if it’s tea time, we shouldn’t rush. Impatient already?”
“I find waiting dull.”
This era lacked online entertainment.
To Night Lan from the future, boredom was inevitable.
“Why not chat instead? You’ll enjoy yourself.” Sharon proposed.
“Sure, chatting works.”
No choice indeed.
