Chapter 46: Low-Key~ Low-Key~
When Night Lan woke up, she realized she was back at the Night Watcher Headquarters.
The hover bike had just landed in the parking area, and sitting next to her was the Leader.
Night Lan lazily stretched, cracking her joints with a cheerful pop.
“Leader, is it over?”
“Pretty much. Although there are still quite a few things for you to handle, it’s not urgent right now. Or do you have some spare time lately?”
“Ah… not really.”
Night Lan shook her head.
She was busy preparing for the Rising Sun Theater Group’s Grand Performance; there’s no way she’d have time for any troublesome tasks.
Even if it was mostly Night Star’s responsibility, Night Lan was definitely going to be a spectator.
Being on stage and sitting in the audience was a whole different perspective.
Night Lan wanted to see if Night Star would embarrass herself.
If something goes wrong on stage, that would be just too embarrassing!
As the saying goes, “The players are confused, but the audience sees clearly,” so the audience perspective is definitely a must!
The Leader knew what Night Lan was thinking but didn’t call her out on it.
“No worries, take your time. It’s not super urgent, but to maximize the benefits, it’s better to wrap up the work sooner rather than later, like clearing all the pollution defects from the Graveyard Star Eclipses.”
Night Lan sighed softly.
“Umm, I heard there are hundreds of Star Eclipses there. I wonder how long it will take to clear them all…”
“That’s why you can find some time to tackle it; benefits accumulate little by little.”
“Hmm~ I think you’re right. I could just squeeze it in before bed. I’ll sleep like a log afterward, so it won’t affect me much.”
Night Lan was pleased with her clever plan.
After all, spending a little time before bedtime clearing a few Star Eclipse pollutions wouldn’t waste too much of her relaxing time.
And when she gets back, an ultra-long nap awaits—perfect!
With hundreds to clear, it was hard to guess when it’d be finished.
It’s said that Supreme-grade are rare.
Most are just medium-grade.
Clearing medium-grade Star Eclipse pollution shouldn’t consume too much energy.
You could clean up more in one shot.
If it’s like that, it should be done quickly.
The Leader was aware of her intentions.
“Do as you see fit. As long as the final result is good, it doesn’t matter how you get there.”
The Leader paused momentarily.
“And I plan to promote this matter, like the existence of the Graveyard Star Eclipses, their intentions, and your decision to manage them. Are you prepared to take on the responsibilities that come with it?”
“Um… there are gains and losses. I’m ready.”
“Great, your awareness is the best part.”
Afterward, it seemed like there were no more matters for Night Lan.
With the confirmation that she could just goof off, she quietly slipped back through the Theater Door to Pinghaishi.
No need for any acting.
She had already showcased some miraculous powers; just taking a flight home was more than enough.
The time reached noon.
In the resting room of Pinghaishi.
Night Lan was snuggled up against White Fish’s silky white thigh, wearing a blissful smile.
Today, White Fish was sporting what looked like tights, giving off a uniquely tempting vibe. It felt like the lower half of her was an ice cream cone, just begging to be licked—absolutely splendid~
Fortunately, Night Lan could suppress her desires while being pampered on that plush knee pillow.
Otherwise, that would just be too creepy.
Of course, just lying quietly on such a tempting soft knee was a kind of torture in itself.
At least she could rub against it without a care in the world.
So much for moral integrity!
“Where did you go this morning, Night Lan?”
Taking advantage of giving Night Lan a knee pillow, White Fish also gently picked at her ears, while casually inquiring about this morning’s adventures.
Night Lan blissfully enjoyed the ear-picking service and answered nonchalantly.
“Oh, just handling some business in the capital. You guys will find out soon enough.”
“Was it something important?”
“Umm, I guess it’s pretty important.”
“Must’ve been tough.”
“Not really~”
At that moment, a surprised voice came from Zero Meow, who was sitting on the bed.
“Meow? The headquarters released a notification, and it seems to be something very important!”
Night Lan slowly opened her eyes, feeling that it might be related to her.
It should be about the Hero Cemetery.
“What is it?”
“Let me take a look first; I’ll summarize it for you after I’m done.”
Hearing Zero Meow say that, Night Lan closed her eyes again, resuming her enjoyment of White Fish’s gentle service.
Every time she snuggled up with Little Loli, she became incredibly lazy.
This aimless daily routine was oddly satisfying.
After a while.
Zero Meow’s voice rang out, filled with shock.
“Shocking! This is unbelievable!”
“What happened?” the other Lolis inquired curiously.
Zero Meow looked at the information on the Night Watcher website and the released notice from headquarters, swallowing hard.
“The Hero Cemetery in the capital has given birth to a large number of Star Eclipses, all former Night Watchers. And those Star Eclipses are very special; they have the potential for cooperation. However, they have a strong Star Eclipse pollution that shouldn’t be officially used yet, but the headquarters has found a solution, which is why this matter is being announced.”
“What’s the solution?”
White Fish asked curiously.
At that moment, Zero Meow glanced at Night Lan, who was sprawled comfortably on White Fish’s lap, and couldn’t help but pout, pointing at the lazy goof-off Loli.
“It’s Night Lan! She has the permanent ability to eliminate Star Eclipse pollution, so they plan to have Night Lan handle the Graveyard Star Eclipses, allowing them to officially start working.”
Upon hearing this, the other Lolis suddenly understood.
So that’s why Night Lan went to the capital this morning!
“How impressive!”
The eyes of Neko Shinna and the other little Lolis sparkled with admiration as they praised Night Lan.
“Umm~ Low-key~ Low-key, it’s just a small thing, not a big deal for me.”
But Zero Meow looked a bit dejected.
“Meow… why has Night Lan gotten stronger and stronger? I still don’t even have my official Night Watcher status yet, and Night Lan has not only become the Sunlight Night Watcher of the headquarters but can also manage the cool-sounding Graveyard Star Eclipses. It’s just too enviable!”
Zero Meow couldn’t help but think deep down:
Weren’t we all supposed to be starting on the same starting line?
Yet Night Lan was secretly sprinting ahead.
She even crossed the finish line in one go.
Zero Meow felt like she could never uphold the dignity of a senior.
She might always be stuck behind.
Thinking about this made Zero Meow want to curl up in a corner and sulk.
Seeing this, Night Lan consoled her.
“Don’t worry about those things, Zero Meow. I won’t drift away from you guys just because of these titles. No matter what, I’ll always be your friend, and you’re all my best friends. Snuggling is the best, don’t you like snuggling with me, Zero Meow?”
Zero Meow’s face turned bright red, and she turned her head away.
“Hmph! I, of all cats, won’t be indulging in your temptation! Even with a powerful support by my side, I’ll keep working hard! To show my resolve, I’m going to sketch a spicy picture of you, meow!”
“Just don’t make it too spicy, or the others, especially Neko Shinna, might see it and get corrupted.”
“Of course I know my limits! Those spicier pictures, I only draw when I’m alone.”
Zero Meow looked quite proud.
Even if she was drawing things that were definitely not suitable for the eyes!
