Chapter 12: The Honest Ghost Girl
Fish Playing House.
Night Star and Night Lan opened the door and walked inside, followed by a dejected Ghost Girl.
“Sigh… Why did Night Star run away?”
“Are you an idiot? Who would fall for such a trick? This joke is an insult to human intelligence; I seriously question whether a donkey kicked your head to make you think so little of my intelligence.”
Night Star is a real snarker. A quick verbal assault made Eypar go catatonic.
“Is it because Night Star is just too cowardly?”
“Shut it.”
Eypar’s counterattack also got under Night Star’s skin.
Wait, what’s wrong with being scared? Just agree with it already!
With these thoughts in mind, Night Star and Night Lan relaxed instantly, their gloomy mood evaporating immediately.
The two quickly stripped down to the bare essentials, keeping only light tank tops on.
“Whew, much better.”
Eypar floated next to Night Star and Night Lan, eyes moving between them as her antenna swayed.
“Night Star, going for a bath again?”
“Yes, if you pull any more pranks, I’ll kick you out.”
“Phew… I’ve transformed, reformed into a ghost, why would I prank Night Star so easily?”
“Really? Not buying it.”
After saying that, Night Star went to the closet and took out fresh clothes, preparing to go to the bathroom with Night Lan.
Eypar followed her, looking serious.
“Honestly, the ghost girl doesn’t lie.”
“Eh… Well, I guess I have no choice but to believe you.”
Night Star closed the closet, handing the fresh clothes to Night Lan.
Night Lan took the offered pajama with natural ease.
Eypar watched this interaction curiously, commenting, “By the way, this black-haired loli is also Night Star, right? She left so quickly last time that I barely had a chance to inspect her closely. Now I’m really curious.”
Eypar then floated beside Night Lan, closely observing the blue-eyed version of “Night Star,” circling around, as if performing some kind of mating dance.
“She’s exactly the same as Night Star, even her expression and appearance are identical. Is she also called Night Star?”
Night Lan shook her head, replying, “Her name is Night Lan, much easier to distinguish.”
“Night Lan, huh? That’s quite a nice name.”
For Eypar, having two girls named Night Star and Night Lan meant double the fun.
She was very excited!
“Hey hey, since Night Star has two bodies, can I borrow one for a bit?”
Eypar stared at the two lovelies with sparkling eyes.
“Eh?” × 2
Both Night Star and Night Lan responded in confusion, their expressions turning odd.
What Eypar said… seemed rather dubious.
“How do I use it?”
“I control it. Remember when I controlled a sleeping pink-haired girl in Shanghe City? You don’t remember that?”
“Hmm…I do recall that.”
Of course, Night Star remembers it well.
After all, they almost failed.
Lan Feng Su Yu fell unconscious, putting her in serious danger.
Fortunately, Eypar showed up in the nick of time, taking over Lan Feng Su Yu’s body with Star’s powers to escape, waiting for the Night Watcher’s assistance.
So, borrowing probably means her ghost body entering Night Lan’s body, right?
Hold on, this explanation sounds slightly off.
Just as Night Star delved into her thoughts, Eypar’s request pulled her back.
“Could I, Night Star?”
“No.”
“Eh? Why not?”
“Who knows what weird tricks you might pull with my body. To avoid creating unnecessary dark history, no can do.”
“Mmph… I wouldn’t…”
Eypar’s antenna drooped, completely deflated.
“No means no. End of discussion.” Night Star blocked Eypar’s mouth with a series of words, then walked into the bathroom with Night Lan.
Eypar had no choice but to follow.
A moment later, a shocked voice came from inside the bathroom.
“Cut it out! Why’d you come in?”
“Is it not allowed?” Eypar sounded very hurt.
“You’re a ghost, not a pet!”
“Being a pet isn’t bad, I’m very easy to take care of.”
In the end, Eypar was chased out by a blushing Night Star.
Hovering in front of the door, she sighed deeply, appearing quite pleased.
“Yare yare… Night Star is such a shy kid~ Even though we’re both girls, it’s kind of adorable, isn’t it?”
Given the situation, Eypar had no option but to respect Night Star’s wishes.
After a while, Night Star and Night Lan, wearing matching cute pajamas, walked out of the bathroom and started drying each other’s hair.
Eypar floated back in front of them silently.
Night Star spoke first, “Eypar, how did you find me?”
“Hmm… I flew straight to Yun Chang City to look for you. When that memory flashed in my mind, I was shocked, but after getting over the initial surprise, I raced here as soon as possible. I just found you moments ago. I planned a small prank, but Night Star didn’t bite, leaving me feeling disappointed, like a ghost.”
“I see.” Night Star replied simply.
Probably, it took Eypar ages to find her in the vast Yun Chang City.
Finding two such girls amid a crowd is incredibly hard, and finding them within a day must be due to pure luck.
A ghost like Eypar succeeding where Eypar fails in card games, it’s hard to feel good about oneself.
“Argh!” Just as Night Star was contemplating her luck, Eypar asked with curiosity, “Night Star, how’s your friend?”
Obviously, she was referring to Lianhua.
“Lianhua? She’s doing fine.”
Realizing something, Night Star pointed.
“See there? That’s the puppet Lianhua left here. If nothing goes wrong, she should come to play tomorrow.”
Eypar looked where Night Star was pointing and saw an extremely simple-looking doll.
That was Lianhua’s creation, Xiao Lian, the Star Eclipses.
At first glance, Eypar stiffened.
“Aiieee!”
As a ghost, she couldn’t feel safe.
She sensed an overwhelming pressure locked onto her!
Terrifying!
And the source of that pressure was the star eclipse-infused doll, Xiao Lian.
