Sakuya quickly tidied up her clothes and appearance, then swiftly cleaned the room, restoring it to its original state as if nothing had happened.
After finishing these tasks, she went to the kitchen to prepare the meals. Hong Meiling, who entered the kitchen at the same time, subtly glanced around as if searching for something.
"Is something wrong?" Sakuya was puzzled by Meiling's behavior, as she wasn't rushing to eat her meal.
"N-Nothing at all. I was just wondering if Kars would rush in again." However, it seemed Kars hadn't rushed in to find Sakuya this time, which left Meiling feeling a little disappointed.
"He probably won't, because I now have a better way to avoid having a nosebleed and fainting." Just thinking about her previous experience made Sakuya's body react a little. She was already wondering when she would be able to serve him again.
"Huh? He… he won't?" Meiling was surprised. She hadn't expected the problem to be solved so quickly. Did this mean the previous incident wouldn't happen again?
Meiling instantly felt a pang of loss. After all, she couldn't be as bold as Sakuya to initiate such actions. She was still a little reserved.
"Well, congratulations then." Sakuya didn't notice the slight disappointment in Meiling's tone, as her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Kars.
Meiling took her portion of the meal and began to eat. This time was usually the happiest part of her day, but today, Meiling wasn't in a good mood.
She had originally hoped to use Sakuya's situation as an excuse to grow closer to Kars, but now Sakuya suddenly announced the problem was solved, leaving Meiling unprepared.
Why do I have such bad luck? Meiling wondered internally. Now, how could she interact with Kars more effectively?
"If only I could be like Sakuya, maybe it would be easier?" But that level of boldness was difficult for Meiling. Finally, in a complicated mood, she finished her dinner, left the kitchen, and walked toward her post by the gate.
"Huh? Meiling, what are you doing? Your shift is over." Kars, who was playing with Flandre in the garden, looked at Meiling, who was heading back to stand guard at the gate at this hour, and asked in confusion.
"Ah? Oh! Right!" Meiling snapped out of it and scratched her head with an awkward laugh.
"You look a little down." Kars recalled Meiling's expression earlier, which seemed troubled. It was somewhat surprising for her, as he had never seen Meiling like that before.
"It's nothing, just a minor issue. Oh, by the way, I heard Sakuya say you somehow solved her nosebleed problem?"
"That's right. Auntie suggested we try using magic to assist, so I asked Patchouli for help. She put a mental enhancement spell in my eyes, and Sakuya's problem was instantly solved." Kars was quite happy about it, as the annoying issue was finally dealt with.
"Kars, can we go back to playing now?" Flandre, who was standing nearby, looked a little unhappy that Kars was happily chatting with Meiling and forgetting about her.
"Alright, Meiling, I have to go now." Meiling watched Kars leave with Flandre, sighed, and walked back to her room. With her mind troubled, she couldn't sleep for the first time. She lay on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling, and only drifted off after midnight.
When she woke up the next morning, her mental state wasn't good, and she looked listless.
"Meiling!" A familiar call, followed by a sudden embrace, immediately revitalized the normally sluggish Meiling, especially when she felt a familiar hand fondling her buttocks.
"You looked a little strange just now. You're usually full of energy in the morning, but you looked like you didn't sleep well." Kars hugged Meiling and looked up at her curiously. Meiling having poor sleep quality was almost impossible, as unbelievable as Cirno being good at math.
While thinking, Kars lovingly stroked Meiling's legs and buttocks. They had the best texture he had encountered so far. He was glad this was allowed; otherwise, it would have been a great shame not to touch her.
"I was thinking about some things yesterday and went to sleep too late." Meiling explained, simultaneously reaching out to stroke Kars's head. She wished the embrace could last longer.
"Is that so? What's bothering you so much? Tell me, and if I can help, I will!" Kars was very willing to help his family members with anything within his power.
"Well…" Meiling wanted to speak out directly, but she felt too shy. She decided to start with a small request.
"Um, Kars, could you hug me like this every day from now on?"
"Huh?" Kars looked at Meiling in surprise. Did this relate to Meiling's problem? It was a simple thing he could do easily, and the fact that it could help Meiling confused him a little.
"And when you hug me, you can touch me like this however you want." Meiling continued. She knew Kars liked touching her buttocks and legs. With this condition, Kars could not only hold her every day to satisfy his urge, but she could also enjoy the feeling of being touched by him.
"This is such a small thing. Can it really solve your problem, Meiling?"
"Of course! So, Kars, do you agree?"
"Yes, as long as it helps you." Kars agreed, causing a happy smile to appear on Meiling's face. At the same time, Kars's hand, which was on her buttocks, slipped under her qipao skirt through the slit on her thigh, fondling her backside, which was only covered by thin panties, making him even more unwilling to stop.
