"Is that so? That's actually quite exciting..."
The love story between an 18-year-old girl and a 500-year-old long-lived species, Jessica found it thrilling just thinking about it.
"What's exciting?"
"Ahem, nothing..."
Tonight, Jessica was risking her life to push things, her throat was dry from talking, but unfortunately, Luna herself remained unmoved. No matter how hard she tried, it was useless.
After the al, everyone walked under the crimson moonlight, which was the normal moonlight for most people.
"Master ntor, can we stay at your new house tonight?"
At this mont, Jessica launched her final offensive.
"Sure, I've already given the key to Luna. You can co anyti, just in ti to pick a room."
Hearing this, Jessica was stunned for a mont. She clearly didn't know Luna had already received the key to Loren's house.
She looked at Luna, who turned her head away in embarrassnt.
"Then we'll be imposing."
Jessica pulled Luna along, following Loren's steps ho. When they reached Loren's doorstep, Luna suddenly stopped moving, and Jessica, caught off guard, was pulled down by her.
"What the... how are you so strong..."
Jessica got up, brushing the dust off her clothes, not minding Luna's strength, and continued pulling Luna forward:
"You're going today whether you want to or not! The Master ntor has already given you his house key, and you're still hesitating.
"And didn't you always live with the Master ntor before? Why are you so shy about it now!"
Jessica continued to pull Luna forward with force, her shoes dragging two trails on the ground.
"I... I don't know..."
After expending a great deal of effort, Jessica finally dragged Luna into the house. She pointed at Luna and said fiercely:
"Listen, go ask the Master ntor for a set of pajamas now, pick one that shows off your figure, then go to the Master ntor's office in the middle of the night wearing them, tell him you're scared sleeping alone in an unfamiliar place, and hope he'll keep you company."
"A... alone? Aren't you staying with ?"
Luna grew increasingly flustered and quickly asked.
"Listen, this is your lifelong matter, only you can do it. I can't exactly go push the Master ntor's butt for you when the ti cos, can I?"
Jessica emphasized, and after speaking, she intended to leave, giving Luna no ti to bargain.
"What do you an by pushing bu..."
"Oh dear, I forgot my mother needs for sothing tonight. Sorry, I can't keep you company, Luna. Have fun here by yourself. Tomorrow, I and the other classmates will co to your birthday party.
"You'll be an adult tomorrow. I hope we get to see your transformation."
After saying that, Jessica patted Luna's shoulder a few tis, then turned and left. She ran very fast; Luna didn't even have ti to call out to her.
"Luna, you don't have pajamas yet, right? It just so happens the gift I prepared for you is pajamas."
Luna was still standing there in a daze when Mirrorheart walked over holding a gift box. The box Loren had opened had been restored by her.
"Uh... thank you..."
The pajamas being proactively delivered by Mirrorheart disrupted Jessica's plan for her to proactively ask Loren for pajamas. Although it reduced her opportunities to interact with Loren, Luna instead felt relieved, a sense of luck washing over her.
Afterwards, Mirrorheart took Luna to choose a room. She had co relatively late, and the rooms close to Loren had already been taken. She could only settle for the next best option, choosing a room farther away.
...
Luna sat on the bed. She hadn't turned on the lights. Her Arcane Ability gave her strong night vision, and her night vision was further enhanced by the Night Amulet. Now, Luna didn't need to turn on the lights at night at all.
She looked at the gift box, hesitated for a long ti, then gritted her teeth and opened it, taking out the clothes inside.
When she saw the clothes, Luna wore a look of confusion. She wondered if Mirrorheart had made a mistake. How could this be clothes?
She unfolded the clothes from the gift box, held them up against herself, then imdiately realized sothing, hurriedly threw the clothes away, her face flushed red as she covered her eyes.
Afterwards, she secretly opened her fingers a little, peeking at that strange piece of clothing.
"Do I really have to wear this..."
Luna was almost dying from indecision. She lay on the bed, rolling around constantly.
A long ti later, Luna finally mustered her courage, put on the clothes Mirrorheart had given her, and walked towards Loren's bedroom.
Along the way, she did a lot of ntal preparation. By the ti she reached Loren's bedroom door, Luna felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest. Her hands were trembling as she opened the door.
The result was, the mont she opened the door, she saw a room full of people.
"Everyone's here, haha... I opened the wrong door..."
Before anyone could react, Luna closed the door with lightning speed. Even Loren, who was writing a book at the ti, was stunned for a mont.
Loren had already decided what gift to give Luna. Her compatibility with Night Magic was very high, so Loren planned to select so suitable Night Magic spells to give her, all deciphered by him during this period.
...
Outside, Luna leaned against the corner of the wall, her hand covering her chest. She felt her heart was about to jump out.
She hadn't expected so many people to be in Loren's bedroom. They had also seen her in this state. Anna and Naclis were there too. Would they think she wasn't suitable to be their mother...
"What are you doing here?"
Just as Luna was thinking, she heard Naclis's voice.
"Naclis? What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Naclis's already cold face grew even colder:
"This is my ho. I should be asking you why you're in my ho."
"No, no, no... that's not what I ant..."
What Luna wanted to express was that shouldn't Naclis be in Loren's bedroom, how did she suddenly appear outside? But Naclis misunderstood.
And Naclis didn't give Luna a chance to explain, simply leaving, leaving Luna standing there filled with regret.
"Guess I can only go through Anna..."
Naclis had never held much fondness for Luna, which she knew, but Luna still felt sowhat uncomfortable.
"Sigh..."
After sighing, Luna returned to her own room.
Improving Naclis's favorability wasn't that easy. Luna could only wait until she actually beca her stepmother to win her over with maternal love.
Luna felt she definitely wouldn't be like those wicked stepmothers in fairy tales. She would give the children overflowing love!
The ideal was beautiful, but reality was harsh. That night, Luna slept very late, constantly thinking, but she didn't co to any conclusion.
Until the next day, when Loren personally ca to wake her up and saw the clothes she was wearing.
"So Mirrorheart still gave you this outfit..."
"So... do you like it?"
Originally, Luna had instinctively covered her chest, but when Loren approached, she mustered the courage to let her hands drop.
