Volume 2, Chapter 35 – Touched… Touched There…

“Wha…?!”

Xiaomengyao’s surprised sound left Tianyin speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

“Hey hey, what’s wrong with five minutes? I really do only have five minutes a day, okay… What’s so shocking about that? Isn’t that perfectly normal? Having a time limit while wielding great power makes sense, doesn’t it? So why does it sound so weird when you say it?!”

It really did sound weird. Things like “Master only has five minutes,” or “Master is so short,” no matter how you looked at it, it sounded like she was teasing her in a very suggestive way…

Even though Tianyin was currently just a loli, both in appearance and gender, her mind was still, undeniably, that of a boy!!!

Hearing those words really was too strange for her…

“Eh eh, isn’t five minutes short though? It’s really short, Master. Do you really think five minutes is long?”

“Isn’t it long? You have to know, I used to only have three minutes! Compared to before, it’s almost twice as long now!”

“Pff… So Master only had three minutes before? So short! I didn’t think Master used to be even shorter~”

For some reason, what should have been a serious topic had somehow been turned into something completely ridiculous by her own loli disciple.

“Wuu… I’m not short, I’m not short… Xiaomengyao, if you keep saying that I’m really going to get mad, really mad!”

Tianyin was flustered and exasperated, but come to think of it, where did the sad, angry, and pitiful Xiaomengyao from just a while ago go?

As Tianyin thought that, Xiaomengyao, as if confirming something, nodded seriously with a completely straight face.

“Pff, Master’s angry again. As I thought, angry Master is way cuter than usual. Mm, this is the real Master!”

At this point, Tianyin knew that no matter what she said, Mengyao would just find new ways to tease her. The smartest response right now was to ignore her completely.

Sure enough, when Tianyin suddenly went quiet, Xiaomengyao noticed that she didn’t seem to want to answer, or rather, didn’t want to respond anymore.

“Well, fine then. Since I’ve confirmed Master is the real Master, I can’t just keep lying on top of you… even though Master feels so soft and smells so nice, still, staying like this… isn’t really proper~”

Oh, so you do know it’s not proper. And who was the one that ignored me when I told you to get off me earlier!!!???

Tianyin held back the words, only complaining quietly in her heart.

“Well, Master, don’t be so mad, okay? Fine, I’ll get up now…”

As she said that, Xiaomengyao pushed herself up, about to stand.

However, accidents always happen at the worst times.

“Eeeek—”

With a startled cry, under Tianyin’s wide eyes, Xiaomengyao, who had just been about to stand up, seemed to twist her ankle, or maybe just lost her balance. Either way, for some reason, she suddenly fell!

Yes, she fell, just like that, without any reason at all.

The scene looked oddly familiar to Tianyin. Her mind immediately flashed back to that time when she had only 10 HP and tripped over her own feet, face-planting on flat ground…

And honestly, Xiaomengyao’s level of clumsiness was about on par with that back then…

Of course, if she had just fallen, it would’ve been fine, maybe she’d just lose a tiny bit of HP.

But the problem was, when she fell, one of her hands instinctively reached out to support herself…

Which led to a very unfortunate coincidence.

That hand, meant to support her weight, landed squarely on Tianyin’s chest!

That flat, yet slightly raised area…

“Ow… ow ow ow ow ow ow ow…”

Even though she wasn’t actually hurt, Xiaomengyao reflexively let out a little cry of pain. Meanwhile, her hand stayed exactly where it was, on Tianyin’s chest, without any sign of moving away.

At that moment, Tianyin’s mind went completely blank.

Yes. Blank. She didn’t know what to think. She just stared dazedly at Xiaomengyao’s hand resting on her chest, her delicate face becoming a dumbfounded, uncomprehending expression.

A few seconds later, Tianyin’s small face suddenly flushed bright red. If this were a manga, you’d practically see steam rising off her head.

“Wuu… wuu…”

Instinctively, Tianyin turned her now crimson face away, and in her gemlike eyes shimmered the faint trace of tears.

“P-please… be gentle…”

Her voice was no longer calm, but it was soft, trembling, shy… almost embarrassingly so.

And it was so quiet that if not for the fact that Xiaomengyao was still so close from the fall, she might not have even heard that bashful whisper, nor seen the unbearably adorable expression that could melt anyone’s heart…

A few seconds later, Xiaomengyao finally realized what had just happened, and her own face turned as red as a tomato.

“M-Master, Master, Master… I-I-I-I didn’t mean to, ahhh!!!”

Even though she knew perfectly well that both she and her Master were girls, for some reason, she still felt completely… flustered.

Yes, by logic, even if a girl accidentally touched another girl’s… it shouldn’t be that big of a deal, right?

But Xiaomengyao was still utterly panicked.

“M-Master, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Master…!”

She stammered frantically, trying to explain herself.

But by this point, Tianyin could no longer even hear her apologies.

Because right now, Tianyin’s little face was not only redder than an apple, but her brain was also spinning, her consciousness fuzzy and unstable.

It was as if her mind had crashed. No matter what happened around her, her brain couldn’t process any of it.

And in that dizzy haze.

A single thought kept echoing in Tianyin’s mind.

That was…

“I got touched…”

I got touched.

I… was touched!

I was touched there, by a girl, a loli girl at that…

“Wuu…”

Without thinking, Tianyin let out an involuntary, unbelievably cute little yelp.
