February 15, Sunday, Lunar New Year's Eve...
Young Master Mao was woken early that morning by a notification on his phone~
The night before, Young Master Mao had gone downstairs for water at midnight and run into Shauntal. The girl had put on a facial mask in the dead of night and was carrying Chandelure downstairs to find some milk before bed...
"How dare you, demon! Showing off your tricks in my own home!" Young Master Mao naturally couldn't possibly be scared. He rushed up and thrust out a palm. "Mighty heavenly dragon!"
Pff! His hand met something soft and round, and Young Master Mao froze in shock. This felt like... boobs!
Fortunately, Shauntal was socially anxious. Her face practically steamed, but she didn't make a sound.
Chandelure looked up at the ceiling, where a soundly sleeping Gengar dangled a tongue and talked in that sleep.
Distracted by Gengar's wild sleeping posture, Chandelure silently fulfilled the role of third wheel without saying a word.
Only when the mask fell off Shauntal's face did Gary recognize her. Wasn't this Shauntal...?
"Gasp... I'm sorry ＞人＜!" Gary hurriedly pulled his hand back and bowed ninety degrees...
"D-don't tell anyone!" Shauntal was quite reasonable about it. After that quiet reminder, she stamped her little foot, turned, and ran back to her room.
Young Master Mao drank six bottles of ice water in a row before finally calming down and returning to his room.
Did girls these days all... eat this well? Oranges, apples, pineapples... yes, pineapples...
After tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Gary finally chose a physical sleep aid.
"Eevee-chan, Yawn~" Gary rubbed Eevee awake and pointed at himself.
Thud! Eevee-chan rammed into him with an Iron Head, nodded in satisfaction at the unconscious Young Master Mao, then went back to sleep.
