A long time passed…
Ying: "Haa… haa… mercy… I can't… I really can't…" Ying clutched her chest, panting heavily, her face flushed red as she begged Lumine for mercy.
Lumine: "Oh dear… it seems I didn't gauge the time and intensity quite right this time…"
"You know that?! You completely drained me!"
"Hmph~ Who told you to keep little secrets from me first?"
"I… I just thought it was a bit embarrassing… ￣﹏￣"
"Mm… alright, alright~ Come on, it's time for bed." (Did I overdo it a little… I should make some good food for Ying the next couple of days to help her recover…)
Seeing the exhaustion in Ying's eyes, Lumine's heart softened.
"Mm… you go to sleep first… I might need a little while to recover enough to move…"
"Heehee~ Sorry, sorry, I'll help you back~" Lumine helped Ying up and they slowly walked into the room. Lumine had actually wanted to carry Ying, but worried she might misunderstand and think she wanted to do something else, so she gave up on that idea, planning to do it another time.
"Hmph! Really… you promised you wouldn't touch me anymore tonight, and if you lie to me again, I won't talk to you (ᗜ˰ᗜ)"
"No, no, tonight Ying will definitely get a good night's sleep~ Come on, walk slowly."
"Hmph…"
"Host is so lucky~"
(This isn't the kind of happiness I wanted (t^t))
"I'll turn off the lights now."
"Wait, I haven't changed into my pajamas yet."
"Ying probably doesn't have the strength to change now, shall I help you? Oh wait, I should have been helping you change in the first place."
"Huh?! Then… then let's forget it… And you were the one who unilaterally decided that!"
"Ahaha, this is non-negotiable~"
"Damn it… Sigh, forget it, forget it."
"Heehee~ That's a good girl~ Alright, alright, hurry up and sleep."
"Mm, goodnight…" (This is no different from sleeping naked, is it…)
"There is still a slight difference, the host at least has two pieces of intimate apparel."
(Sigh… I don't mind being alone, but the problem is Lumine is sleeping next to me now… I feel like I'm a piece of meat at her beck and call…)
"The host bathed with them earlier, are you still afraid of this? 'Meat at beck and call' fits the host's image quite well. They can eat the host whenever they want, but the host surely won't mind, as there's no harm in it for the host."
(What you're saying… it's quite logical… I would gladly accept simple cuddling… but what Lumine did earlier was clearly one-sided abuse (╥﹏╥))
"But they didn't tickle you in the bathroom earlier and you still struggled."
(That was a natural bodily reaction! And that's even more terrifying than tickling! Earlier, Lumine kneaded me so much that I didn't feel like myself (t^t))
"Mm, the host's expression of being thoroughly played with earlier was indeed very interesting."
(Go to hell!)
"Ahe~"
(Sigh… I'll sleep then, I have to wake up early tomorrow…)
One night later…
"Ying~ Wake up…"
"Mmm… let me lie down for five more minutes…"
"You really are sleepy… Cough cough, if you don't get up now, you'll be late."
"Late?!"
"Hahaha, just kidding, there's still plenty of time~ But I really didn't expect Ying to be so punctual."
"Ah, this… cough cough, instinct~"
"But it's a bit of a shame, I was actually planning to tickle you awake~"
"Uh… if you really did that, I might not be able to get through the day later…"
"Hahaha, is it that harsh? Then I won't tease you today, come~ I'll help you get dressed."
"Mm… I feel like a child being taken care of by you…"
"Hehe~ It does seem a bit like that, doesn't it? Alright, alright, hurry up and get dressed, then wake Paimon up so we can gather at the entrance."
"Mm mm"
After waking Paimon, the two of them immediately rushed to the entrance of Mondstadt city…
Ying: "I wonder if we're the first to arrive at the entrance, but there probably aren't many people faster than us at this hour."
Lumine: "That's hard to say."
"Ah~ I can see the entrance… What the heck?! So many people?!"
"Ah! Sister Ying and Honorary Knight Sister are here!"
"Are you all devils… It's still over an hour until the agreed time… By the way, Acting Grand Master Jean, you're here too."
"Mm, I shouldn't have come, but Lisa and Barbara persuaded me for a long time… and I was really worried about Klee."
"Heehee~"
(It seems Lisa stayed behind to guard the house…)
"I see, but… Kaeya, didn't you tell me you were busy with Windblume Festival preparations these few days and couldn't make it!"
Kaeya: "Hahaha, I'm done with my work now~"
"Done with your work? Are you sure you didn't just delegate your tasks and come here to slack off…"
"How can you call it slacking off? I finished several days' worth of work in one day for your invitation~"
"Alright, alright…"
"But I really didn't expect you to invite Diluc here. And you, you actually agreed to her invitation."
Diluc: "Hmph… Since everyone is here, let's set off quickly."
"Mm mm, let's go, let's go!"
"Sister Ying, what games are we going to play later?"
"Mm… snowball fights, building snowmen, we can also go exploring in the snowy mountains… But Klee, don't throw bombs around after we get there."
"Don't worry! Klee definitely won't throw bombs randomly."
"That's the spirit~ Oh, right~ Here, I'll give this catalyst to Klee."
"Wow?! It's so pretty, what's it called?!"
"Mm… it's called 'Childe', I think… (Mm, I should have remembered correctly…)"
"Ah?! Ying, you're biased!"
"Hahaha, Diona has one too, here, take this Sacrificial Bow~"
"Yay! No no, cough cough… I'll accept it then."
"You, you~"
Venti: "What about mine, what about mine? (✪▽✪)"
"Venti, I'll give yours to you during the Windblume Festival. I forgot to buy it today owo."
"Ah~ It shouldn't take several days, though…"
"Hmph~ You tricked me, so you'll wait for two days!"
"Oh dear, you're truly wicked."
"Heehee, you flatter me~"
Kaeya: "Oh? Are you giving out gifts? Do you have one for me~"
"Uh… Kaeya, how old are you to be asking a young lady for a gift…"
"Age isn't important, what's important is a childlike heart~"
"What kind of childlike heart is that!"
"Hahaha, you're right~"
