(Heartfelt thanks to 'woshata' for the 10,000 reward, and to 'Lei Xiang,' 'Youcai Luobo,' 'Xiongxiong no Baobao,' 'Shao Feng Ye,' and 'Yuezuki Tatsuha' for their rewards!)
The next day, morning...
In his sleep, Wu Yan felt something fuzzy poking around inside his nose, tickling the bridge of his nose until it began to itch and he could not help wanting to sneeze.
Still half-asleep, Wu Yan wrinkled his nose and reached up to feel around. Only when the fuzzy thing poking into his nose seemed to be gone did he continue sleeping.
But just as Wu Yan's hazy consciousness was about to sink back into the sea of sleep, that fuzzy thing began teasing his nose again, making even his brow furrow.
Realizing that something seemed wrong, Wu Yan gradually woke up, and his bleary eyes opened.
"Hehe, Brother is awake..."
Hearing that tender voice, the last traces of Wu Yan's grogginess vanished. His mind completely cleared as he lowered his head and looked into his arms.
There, a little girl dressed in Gothic Lolita attire, with broken wings covered in crystals behind her back, gazed at Wu Yan with bright red eyes. Her face wore a mischievous expression, like a prankster caught in the act.
In the little girl's hand was the end of the ponytail tied on the left side of her head. She had grabbed it and was brushing it back and forth before Wu Yan's nose. There was no need to guess—the fuzzy thing that had kept tickling his nose and woken him was the tip of her hair.
The one using her own hair to prank Wu Yan was none other than Flandre!
"You little brat!" Wu Yan immediately sat up with force, hugged Flandre, and put on a ferocious expression as he shouted viciously.
