"It... it's already like this, isn't it enough..."
Although she wasn't resisting anything, Lumine felt she had to say something, so she whispered that line very softly.
However, right after saying it, she realized there was a problem with her words.
After all, considering what was about to happen next, it certainly couldn't just end like this.
Unless...
Unless Kaito had no intention of going further...
But given the situation, would he really stop now?
Pondering this question, Lumine really couldn't be sure.
There was no helping it; she felt Kaito was exactly the type of person who might do something like that.
And if that really happened, she certainly couldn't beg him to do anything.
If it came to that, she would seem too 'cheap,' so she definitely wouldn't say a word.
"Of course it's not enough; it's in the way," Kaito's voice came from behind her again while Lumine was letting her imagination run wild.
"What's in the way?" Lumine continued to ask.
Actually, the answer was obvious, but she asked anyway.
She just wanted to hear how Kaito would answer this question.
"The happy things, of course," Kaito answered quickly.
Happy things?
"What happy things?"
Lumine was stunned for a moment by Kaito's answer; she hadn't expected he could answer like that.
But even so, she had to continue asking.
"Very happy things," Kaito continued.
"Happy your head."
Knowing that there was a high probability Kaito wouldn't answer directly, Lumine retorted with some dissatisfaction.
Of course, actually, she didn't know how to answer such a question either.
After all, how could one describe that kind of thing well?
Hmm...
It seems Kaito's description isn't too bad...
After thinking for a moment, Lumine suddenly felt that Kaito's description wasn't unacceptable.
There was no helping it; she couldn't find a better description either.
Right...
Suddenly remembering something, Lumine felt very curious.
She wondered, was Kaito still wearing clothes right now? She didn't seem to have heard any sound of clothes being taken off.
Do boys make no sound when they take off their clothes?
Although she really wanted to turn around and take a look, Lumine refrained from doing so.
Wait...
Did this guy just make the clothes on his body disappear directly?
Suddenly recalling Kaito's ability, Lumine immediately made this guess.
But if that were the case, why didn't Kaito just make the bathrobe on her body disappear earlier?
Is he afraid I'll get angry?
That makes sense...
He definitely wouldn't do that kind of thing casually.
But regarding what comes next, I can't say for sure...
Lumine knew that after tonight, the relationship between the two of them would be very different.
Whether or not they took that key step, things would be very different.
No!
I'd better ask...
But how should I ask?
Thinking it over, Lumine felt she still needed to ask, only she really hadn't figured out the best way to do so in that moment.
After all, she couldn't just say, "Did you take off your clothes yet?"
If she said that, it would make her seem very impatient, so she definitely couldn't ask directly.
Got it...
Suddenly thinking of a good method, Lumine scooted backward nonchalantly, and then she immediately knew the answer.
Lumine: "!"
This is...
That place?!
Reacting as if she had been electrocuted, she immediately scooted forward again. Lumine was blushing furiously at this point.
"Stop turning your back to me, Lumine. Turn over," Kaito said, reaching out directly to flip Lumine over. Lumine cooperated quite well.
"You think you're stir-frying vegetables? Flipping me back and forth."
After turning over, Lumine immediately said this, as if trying to conceal her shyness.
"Yeah, it is stir-frying. Both sides need to be fried." Seeing the obviously shy Lumine, Kaito smiled and said.
Stir-frying?
Stunned again, Lumine evidently didn't understand the meaning of Kaito's words, thinking he was just playing along with her metaphor.
So she continued, "Then which side do you plan to fry first?"
"Depends on what you want."
What I want?
Does this Kaito really think he's cooking?
Thinking this, Lumine answered, "The back."
Since Kaito asked her, she just gave a random answer to see what he would say next.
Hmm?
Just as Lumine was wondering what Kaito would say, he suddenly sat up from the bed, reached out, and flipped Lumine over, placing her in a face-down sleeping position.
"Are you really cooking?" Continuing to maintain the face-down position, Lumine turned her head to look at Kaito with a face full of confusion.
She found that Kaito seemed very serious right now.
What is this situation?
"Didn't you say the back first?" As he spoke, Kaito reached out, hugged Lumine's waist as she lay on the bed, and lifted her hips.
Lumine: "???"
Her eyes widened instantly. Lumine finally understood what Kaito meant.
"You..." After struggling for a moment, Lumine really didn't know what to say, so she could only say with a flushed face, "You guy..."
"Lights out, lights out." Accompanying Kaito's words, the room immediately plunged into darkness.
The next day.
Should I go find Zhongli first?
Or just set off to wander around Liyue?
Sitting on the bed, wearing only his trousers, Kaito pondered this question.
Although the sky was just getting light, he knew Zhongli was definitely awake—in fact, the guy probably didn't even need to sleep.
But Lumine hasn't woken up yet...
Was she too tired yesterday?
Turning back to look at Lumine, who was still lying on the bed, Kaito couldn't help but recall the events of the previous night.
It had to be said, last night was very enjoyable. After all, neither of them were ordinary people, so the battle was truly fierce.
And more importantly, this was Kaito's first time doing this kind of thing with someone else.
Although he was considered battle-hardened before, that was all with himself. This was very different.
"Mmm..." Just then, Lumine let out a soft sound, and her eyes gradually opened.
"Kaito, you're awake..." With sleepy eyes, Lumine stretched and changed from lying down to a sitting position.
Although she still didn't have a stitch of clothing on her body, after experiencing last night's battle, she no longer felt shy facing Kaito like this.
After all, everything that should be done had been done; what was the point of being shy now?
"I just woke up." Nodding, Kaito indicated he had only just woken up.
"It's still so early..."
Glancing out the window, Lumine found the sky was only just getting bright.
"If you're tired, go back to sleep."
Hearing Lumine say this and seeing she still looked a bit sleepy, Kaito told her to sleep a bit longer.
As for him, he felt he had slept enough and didn't need to sleep anymore.
"I'm not exactly tired, just still a bit sleepy," Lumine said, yawning.
It was just doing that kind of thing; how could she be tired? Besides, she had slept until dawn. Even if she were tired, she should be rested by now. However, she was still savoring the aftertaste of last night's events.
"If you're sleepy, then keep sleeping. But do you want to eat something before you sleep again?"
Since he was preparing to buy some breakfast, Kaito asked Lumine.
"Then buy me something to eat."
Hearing about food, Lumine felt her stomach was indeed a bit hungry, so she nodded.
"Okay, I'll go buy breakfast then." Saying this, Kaito put on his clothes and stood up from the bed.
However, when he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "By the way, Lumine, what do you want to eat?"
"I'll eat whatever you eat." Looking toward the door, Lumine gave Kaito this answer.
"Then I'm off to buy breakfast."
Nodding, Kaito walked out and closed the door.
Speaking of which...
I wonder if Miko has done this kind of thing with Kaito...
After Kaito left, Lumine thought to herself. She was actually quite curious about the answer to this question.
However, based on what Miko had told her before, she felt probably not yet.
Otherwise, Miko wouldn't have acted like that back then.
Of course, it was also possible that Miko just hadn't mentioned it.
Right...
Should I be like Acheron and the others...
Is it better to call him Kai?
Suddenly thinking of this question, Lumine fell into deep thought.
She felt this was a question very much worth considering.
