"Every time? That request is a bit too much, isn't it? What if Suzuka and the others happen to be present someday?" Lucian deliberately raised his brows in difficulty, yet the tip of his finger continued to draw circles across little Dango's soft fur.
Meisho Doto retreated to the next best option and spoke in a soft, sticky voice: "(˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) Then... then only when I'm alone with Nyan-kun-sama, is that okay?"
"Then let's do it that way. But it still depends on my mood. My mood depends on..." Lucian's voice paused as he looked at little Dango, stroking smoothly from the top of her head all the way down to the root of her tail. "I can't say it absolutely, but right now my mood is very good. Maybe it's because little Dango is being so obedient."
He deliberately bit down hard on the word "obedient," the corner of his eye sweeping across Meisho Doto as if by accident.
"I... I can also be as obedient as little Dango."
"Oh? Then is Doto planning to lie flat on the sofa like little Dango just did, or is she planning to be like little Dango is right now?"
"I..." Meisho Doto lowered her head. Her closed hands sank deeply into the gap between her thighs. Her thoughts were a complete mess; she stammered and couldn't get a single coherent word out.
Her mind had gone completely blank, thoroughly crushed by these two options that were so vivid they painted full scenes in her head. The image of herself lying on the sofa the same way little Dango had, body soft and open under Nyan-kun-sama's gaze, made heat crawl up her neck. The alternative—curled up, small, being stroked and praised—was somehow even more dangerous. Her fingers tightened unconsciously between her legs, thighs pressing together as a faint tremor ran through her.
"Alright, Dango has been delivered home. Doto should go home now~" Lucian spoke.
He couldn't continue teasing any further. It had already gone a little too far. He was afraid Meisho Doto would melt on the spot.
"O-oh, I understand." Meisho Doto picked up her things and left the sofa.
Lucian walked her to the door. "Then good night, Miss Orange Cat."
"Go... good night, Nyan-kun-sama." Meisho Doto gave a small bow, then fled away with quick steps like a startled little deer.

On the other side, after returning to the dormitory, Grass Wonder said a word to her roommate and then went straight to the dorm shared by Silence Suzuka and Special Week.
"Grass, why did you come over?" Special Week was wearing a thin camisole and sitting at the desk reading a book.
But the moment Grass Wonder entered, she hurriedly closed the book and stuffed it back into the drawer.
"There were still some things I didn't finish saying to Suzuka this morning." Grass Wonder said. "Is Spe-chan about to rest? If I'm disturbing you, I can come next time."
"No no, tomorrow is still a rest day, so I'm not going to sleep that early either. Come in quickly."
"Arigatou." Grass Wonder closed the door and walked into the room.
By chance, Silence Suzuka, who had just finished bathing, walked out of the bathroom at that exact moment.
While bathing she had suddenly remembered that she had an appointment tonight with cat-form Lucian, but seeing Grass Wonder right now, she knew that appointment could only be cancelled.
Really... Lucian-kun didn't even remind me.
Silence Suzuka felt a flash of chagrin in her heart, then sat back down on her own bed. "Grass, you're here."
Grass Wonder nodded. "Mm. If I keep being troubled, I find it hard to fall asleep."
"Troubled?" Special Week moved her chair between the two of them. Curious eyes circulated between the two of them, the perfect picture of a spectator ready to watch the show. "Did Grass run into something?"
Silence Suzuka did not answer immediately. Instead she looked at Grass Wonder with an inquiring gaze. After all, this was Grass Wonder's private matter. Before she herself spoke, it was inconvenient for her to decide on her own and tell Special Week.
Grass Wonder understood Silence Suzuka's meaning and took the initiative to speak: "It's just that I have some doubts..... regarding romance."
"Eh!?!?" As expected, this news would surprise whoever heard it, and Special Week was no exception.
"Grass has favorable feelings toward a boy, so she has some questions she wants to ask me." Silence Suzuka explained along the lines of Grass Wonder's words. "This morning she already had Lucian-kun put himself into the male perspective."
"So it was like that. Then isn't that the same as me..." Special Week's words that hadn't passed through her brain almost slipped out.
"The same as Spe-chan how?" Grass Wonder pressed.
"It's just that I was also a little curious before, so I also asked Suzuka-chan about related things." Special Week used her wits in a crisis, trying to round her words back, but the guilty expression on her face was full of holes.
"Does Spe-chan also have someone she likes?"
"I don't desu!" Special Week suddenly straightened her back, her tone also suddenly rising high, but noticing she seemed too agitated, her voice weakened again. "It's purely curiosity."
Silence Suzuka's brows furrowed. She thought to herself that she couldn't let Special Week continue speaking, or more secrets would be leaked. "Grass, aside from the questions this morning, what else do you want to ask?"
"Actually there are still quite a few things I want to ask... let's take them one by one."
Silence Suzuka waited for Grass Wonder's continuation. Special Week also pricked up her ears to listen.
"If one is together with the other person... how long until one can kiss?"
"There's no formula for this kind of thing. Some people confirm the relationship at the moment of the kiss, and some only kiss after being together for a while... According to the descriptions in books, everything depends on the atmosphere."
This morning Silence Suzuka had already explained that her knowledge all came from some romance novels.
Therefore, the answer she gave at this moment could be said to be watertight.
Beside them, Special Week was also eager to try. After all, she had also read novels for a long time and very much wanted to impart some knowledge. "That's right. Under fireworks, under streetlights, at the moment of parting... or openly expressing love in front of many people!"
"Spe-chan understands so much too?" Grass Wonder said in surprise. She didn't focus on the answer first, but focused on Special Week.
"When I was reading books I couldn't hide it from Spe-chan, so she also read some." After Silence Suzuka finished explaining for Special Week, she continued pulling the topic back on track. "The question just now, does Grass understand now?"
"Mm, I understand. Spe-chan said so much just now, but I still like the last kind the most. If you like someone, you should express it openly and openly in front of everyone."
Silence Suzuka and Special Week nodded in unison.
They felt that what Grass Wonder said was very correct, but currently neither of them could do it, because too many horse girls were involved.
Unless... someone broke this balanced situation.
"There are also some.... things that are hard to say out loud, relatively deep. I don't know if it's convenient to ask you two." Grass Wonder's body curled slightly. Her cheeks were faintly red as she rubbed her hands together.
No matter how bold she was, in the end she was still a pure little horse girl... Only after tasting the marrow would she completely let go.
Silence Suzuka of course understood Grass Wonder's shyness. She didn't mind teaching her a little, but she also didn't speak too absolutely. "Grass can try asking. If the books have touched on it, I can tell you about it."
"Mm... thank you, Suzuka-chan, and Spe-chan."
Grass Wonder stuck out her pink tongue and moistened her dry lips in a circle. "Just.... do boys all like girls with good figures? I always feel I don't have any advantages..."
Silence Suzuka froze for a moment. Her gaze swept across the gently rising and falling chest in front of Grass Wonder, and she immediately no longer wanted to answer.
This question was indeed not very convenient for her.
She didn't want to answer.
But looking at Grass Wonder's expression of thirsting for knowledge...
"I feel that if you like a person, you should try to like all of her. Like her perfection, and also like her imperfections."
Grass Wonder: "But some news says that husbands cheat with young and pretty girls or something."
"Then cut..." Silence Suzuka of course also had zero tolerance for this kind of thing. For a moment her mouth was too fast, but she still finished the sentence. "Cut... cut it off."
With so many horse girls already at home, Silence Suzuka actually wasn't worried that Lucian would still cheat with some other pretty stranger girl.
"This... this decisive?" Grass Wonder opened her little mouth in surprise, but grew more and more curious about the relationship between Lucian, Silence Suzuka, and Special Week.
Could it be that Trainer Lucian had already been disciplined by Suzuka, so Spe-chan could kiss Trainer Lucian? Were Trainer Lucian and them considered good girlfriends?
Grass Wonder completely sank into deep thought. It was as if ten thousand horse girls were galloping inside her small head.
Silence Suzuka interrupted her train of thought. "Grass, any more questions? If not, it's already very late now."
"Temporarily none. Currently these are the only troubles, and they've already been perfectly resolved." Grass Wonder squinted her eyes and smiled.
"That's good. You're welcome to come ask questions again."
