Cat kiss (=￣ω￣=)

‘She just saved me once… it’s probably not to the point of promising my life in return…’

‘But this Nami route…’

It had to be said, Xingyue had a pretty good impression of Nami.

Who doesn’t like cute kitties? Unlocking her route would be for the best.

So…

Xingyue: ‘Just for one night, okay… mhm (〃﹏〃)’

And so, Xingyue’s face turned red as she slowly opened her mouth and spoke the lines for option C.

The moment Xingyue’s words fell, Nami’s tail suddenly froze in mid-air, her cat ears turning a visible shade of crimson.

“Are you, are you serious? You want me to be your master for one night?”

“Mhm…”
Xingyue nodded weakly.

“So, for the whole night, I can do whatever I want to you?”

“Yes…”

The white-haired, red-eyed loli’s throat bobbed nervously. Xingyue felt her heart beating so fast it was about to burst out of her chest.

“I see. I understand.”

Nami stared into Xingyue’s eyes, then suddenly grabbed her wrist. Her movement was irresistibly forceful, yet the moment it touched her skin, the pressure lightened.

“Eh (*ﾟﾛﾟ)”

Nami slowly lifted Xingyue’s hand. Her warm lips gently printed a kiss on the back of it, the soft touch making Xingyue tremble.

The next second, a crimson cat paw print appeared on Xingyue’s skin.

It was a magical totem.

“What’s this?” Xingyue asked.

“Don’t ask so many questions.”
The cat girl loli turned her face away, the tips of her ears red.

“Tomorrow night, wait for me on the rooftop.”

After saying this, Nami let go of her hand.

“Don’t be late.”

With that, Nami put on her hood and left.

“Ah…”

Xingyue stood there dumbfounded, watching the retreating figure. The cat paw totem on the back of her hand was still hot, as if a small flame was dancing beneath her skin.

“What are we going to do on the rooftop…”

Xingyue swallowed, her mind beginning to run wild.

****

The next day…

“So sleepy, boohoo X﹏X”

As it turned out, because Xingyue had spent the entire night thinking about what Nami would do to her, her thoughts had taken flight.

She hadn’t slept well at all…

She was even absent-minded when Ruoxi tried to talk to her.

It continued like this until morning…

Xingyue was dozing off at her desk…

“I’m surprised you’re still alive.”
That was the first thing her blue-haired deskmate, Xisitina, said to her.

“Ah… Student Xisitina, what do you mean by that?”

Xingyue was instantly wide awake.

“You should know better than I do. Yesterday, you had a time-triggered incantation trap on you—as long as you said a specific keyword, the trap magic would be triggered.”

“Eh?”

Xingyue’s pupils contracted.

‘So Xisitina knew about her situation too?!’

‘If Xisitina had seen through Xingyue’s situation yesterday, then that means…’

“So that’s why you were speaking in strange riddles?” Xingyue asked.

She remembered Xisitina saying “I hope I can still see you tomorrow” before she left, and also inviting Xingyue to her house…

“You finally understand.”
Xisitina sat up straight, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the family crest on the edge of her notebook.

“The Bo’ersi family’s library has generations of exorcism scriptures. As long as you came back with me, this young lady guaranteed she could find a way to break it.”
She huffed, her blue hair swaying with the movement.

“I invited you to my house to help you, but to prevent the trap from being triggered, I couldn’t speak directly. Unfortunately, you didn’t understand my meaning at all.”

Xisitina spread her hands with a bitter smile.

Xingyue: ‘Damn it! If I had known earlier, I could have just agreed to go to her house and avoided all this trouble! QAQ’

Xingyue was on the verge of tears…

“I-I’m sorry…”
Xingyue clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice an octave lower than usual.

“I thought when you invited me to your house…”

“You thought what? That I was coveting your beauty?”
Xisitina suddenly let out a light laugh.

Then she lifted Xingyue’s chin, their faces very close.

“Looking closely, you really are cute~”
Xisitina licked her lips.

“Mmph…”

Xingyue closed her eyes, her heart racing.

“Hahahaha… I’m just kidding. Relax. If this young lady was really coveting you, you would have been tied up and locked in my dungeon long ago.”

Xisitina smiled, signaling for Xingyue not to be nervous.

“D-Dungeon (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!”
Xingyue trembled.

Xingyue: ‘It was better when you didn’t say anything! Now you’ve made it even scarier! (〃﹏〃)’

“However, you did surprise this young lady.”

A hint of admiration flashed in Xisitina’s blue eyes.

“To be able to break the incantation trap on your own, that’s interesting. It seems you’re no ordinary person.”

Xisitina looked at Xingyue’s face, a hint of approval in her eyes.

[Xisitina’s Favorability +10]

[Xisitina’s favorability towards you has been restored!]

“This young lady appreciates you more and more.”

Xisitina gave Xingyue a gentle smile.

And just then.

[Time of Decision!]

[A. “To be appreciated by you, milady, is my honor~”]

[B. Exchange a smile with her, then chat about something else to deepen your relationship.]

[C. Slap her: “Who cares about your appreciation, hmph ╯^╰”]

Xingyue decided…
