Volume 8, Chapter 3 – The Catgirl’s Awakening

Fluffy ears, and a body that gave off a unique faint fragrance.

In the silent room, the beautiful girl lay there with her eyes closed, sleeping quietly.

More precisely.

A girl who had the traits of a cat, yet looked extremely similar to a human girl… that is, a catgirl.

“Big Sister Yeluo, I’m here to see you~”

Murmuring those words to herself, Tianyin pushed open the door and walked in alone.

Looking at the cat-eared girl still sleeping, Tianyin still felt a bit guilty in her heart.

Because Yeluo’s sleep was ultimately also because of her. So she was the “culprit” that made Yeluo keep sleeping like this.

But now, she already had the ability to wake Yeluo up, so it was time to make up for the mistake she caused.

Tianyin walked to Yeluo’s bedside, her gemlike beautiful eyes staring blankly at the sleeping catgirl.

“Next, I’ll just kiss her?”

At the most critical moment, Tianyin hesitated again.

Because the method to wake Yeluo up was surprisingly similar to the method used to wake Xiaobingxue before. But it required Tianyin to use a “kiss” to wake her.

Even though this method was kind of absurd. But according to Tianyin’s understanding of the Seven Original Sins Pride from her memories, stripping away someone else’s life was very easy, but granting life required close contact.

And to grant life better, Tianyin had to use the method of kissing to complete the step of giving Yeluo life.

「Oh my, even though you’re at the last step, could it be Xiaoyin is shy? So cute… You weren’t like this when you kissed Xiaobingxue before~」

『I… I’m not shy at all! I’m thinking, I’m thinking whether this method actually works!』

Tianyin’s explanation was pale and powerless.

Ultimately, Tianyin was still just a rather tsundere loli.

Mm, tsundere.

Of course, for Tianyin’s tsundere cuteness, Samael understood and chuckled lightly.

「Yes, yes. Xiaoyin is just a bit scared this method won’t work, right? Well… but right now, waking Yeluo is more important, isn’t it?」

『Wuu… what you said does make some sense…』

In the end, under Samael’s persuasion, Tianyin finally made up her mind to use kissing to deal with waking the catgirl Yeluo.

So, carrying a bit of hesitation, Tianyin slowly leaned down toward Yeluo’s face.

And because she was a bit nervous, at the last moment, Tianyin still closed her eyes.

And in Tianyin’s perception, in the next instant, her lips touched a hint of coolness. Then, Tianyin felt a sweetness unique to a girl.

“Mm…”

Actually, deep down Tianyin was extremely shy.

But because she had to wake Yeluo up, Tianyin could only bite the bullet and kiss her. Not only that, before Yeluo woke up, Tianyin still couldn’t stop.

“…So what kind of weird condition is this…”

Complaining inwardly, Tianyin still maintained the posture of kissing Yeluo, waiting for Yeluo to wake up.

However, just as Tianyin was silently thinking as she waited, Samael’s voice in her mind suddenly came through.

「Oh my~ Xiaoyin is actually really only planning to kiss Yeluo?」

『Huh? What do you mean, Samael?』

Already feeling unbearably embarrassed inside, Tianyin was completely puzzled by Samael’s sudden words.

Taking the initiative to kiss someone was already something hard to speak of for Tianyin. Now that Samael said it out loud like this, Tianyin still felt a bit unaccustomed.

And also… what did you mean by only planning to kiss Yeluo?

Hah? Isn’t this for waking Yeluo up? Why does it sound so full of double meaning when it comes out of your mouth, Samael?

「Isn’t it? Oh my… I clearly see Xiaoyin only kissing Yeluo and not mobilizing Pride’s power. If it’s like this, isn’t it just purely kissing Yeluo?」

The moment Samael finished speaking, Tianyin’s pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked like she was a bit embarrassed.

『I… I of course remember that… it’s just… just…』

To be honest, once Tianyin kissed Yeluo, she had already forgotten about mobilizing Pride’s power. It was only because Samael suddenly “reminded” her that Tianyin belatedly remembered that after kissing, she needed to mobilize Pride’s power.

Of course, with Tianyin’s level of thick skin, there was absolutely no way she could admit she actually forgot about it. So at this point, Tianyin could only stiffen her scalp and keep forcing it through.

『I-I of course remember… honestly… Samael, you’re really too naggy!』

As she said that, Tianyin began to mobilize the Pride power within her body, among the Seven Original Sins.

As the Pride power was mobilized, strands of vitality began, under Pride’s control, to be transmitted into Yeluo’s body.

And as this vitality was transmitted, Yeluo’s originally slightly cold body temperature also gradually began to rise.

『Samael… it looks like it’s working!』

The mood that had been extremely low because of Xingyu Muxi’s departure rose a little bit again. And as Yeluo’s body temperature rose, gradually, Yeluo’s breathing, which had been so faint it was impossible to sense, also began to become slight.

Right after that, the slight breathing gradually became steady. And as Tianyin continued to mobilize Pride’s power and transport the vitality within Pride’s power, Yeluo’s bodily signs also moved closer to a normal person’s state.

“Mm… I can’t do it, I’m about to suffocate…”

Finally, as Yeluo’s bodily signs recovered to a normal person’s level, Tianyin finally stopped the posture of kissing Yeluo. And after standing up, Tianyin, because of the long kiss, fell into a state of “lack of oxygen” and began to subconsciously breathe in big gulps.

Mm… for Tianyin, “lack of oxygen” was actually just psychological, after all, Throne-tier wouldn’t “lack oxygen”.

「Huff, you did very well, Xiaoyin. Looks like Yeluo is about to wake up~ How is it, are you a bit excited now?」

『Hmph, isn’t Big Sister Yeluo waking up already a sure thing? So why would I feel excited because of this?』

Saying that in a tsundere way, looking at the catgirl Yeluo whose originally pale complexion on the bed had become rosy, Tianyin still felt a bit happy in her heart.

And right at this moment, as the girl on the bed let out a soft murmur, this catgirl who had been sleeping all this time finally slowly opened her eyes.

And the instant she opened her eyes, the catgirl’s pair of captivating eyes subconsciously looked toward Tianyin by the bedside.

“Xiao… Xiaoyin…”

A pleasantly surprised voice sounded. And along with Yeluo’s words, Tianyin also saw Yeluo, who had already opened her eyes.

“Big Sister Yeluo!”

“Xiaoyin!”

After that, before Tianyin even had time to react, Tianyin was pulled into the awakened Yeluo’s arms.
