C7 What Is the Juice of a Sister?

The next morning dawned, and Hu Tao gazed quizzically at Mu Jin's adorably dopey sleeping face.

"Wu... Mei... I can't eat anymore... Hehehe..."

Listening to Mu Jin mumble in her sleep with a voice identical to her own, even whining cutely, Hu Tao couldn't help but be amused. Up close, she could even see a dribble of drool at the corner of the white-haired sleeper's mouth.

With a look of distaste, Hu Tao nudged Mu Jin, only to find that her embrace was surprisingly strong.

She hadn't budged the white-haired fool an inch.

Eventually, Hu Tao stopped resisting and resigned herself to being held like a human-shaped pillow.

Staring at the ceiling, Hu Tao found herself in an unprecedented situation. They had only met the day before, yet she had to admit...

(Woman, you've certainly caught my attention!)

She grew curious about the white-haired Kaslana, known as Mu Jin, but truly named Kiana.

Becoming close friends with this goofball didn't seem like such a bad idea.

She'd have to introduce her to Zhongli when she got the chance.

Humph! Even I can make friends!

As she pondered, sleepiness crept over Hu Tao once more.

She stole a glance at Mu Jin, who was still deep in slumber, and a sly glint passed through her crimson eyes.

What would this white-haired nincompoop think if she knew she was being cradled in her arms?

True to her proactive nature, Hu Tao chuckled to herself, snuggled deeper into Mu Jin's embrace, found a cozy spot, and drifted off to sleep.

The thought of Mu Jin's reaction upon waking to find them entwined was amusing enough to bring a smile to her face.

"Hehe... I want to drink Mei's juice..."

"Woo... Wangsheng Funeral Parlor... Promotion... Buy one get one free... Spend 100, save 10..."

Mu Jin was starting to regret taking on this task.

Damn it! Stupid system!

How had she been so easily fooled by a mere 60 crystals!

As soon as she opened her eyes, there was Hu Tao, peacefully asleep in her arms.

And Mu Jin had instinctively held her close.

Considering she had just dreamt of Raiden Mei cooking for her, only to wake up to Hu Tao's embrace...

She couldn't shake off a slight feeling of guilt towards Raiden Mei.

I'm not feeling right!

It's got to be Kiana messing with my head!

Currently, your synchronization rate with Kiana is at 20%.

The more in sync you are with the character, the more you can unlock special missions exclusive to that character. Completing these missions will earn you extra crystals.

(It's not like I didn't have time to update (crossed out))

Wow, even the dog system has a tsundere side?! But seriously, what on earth is a synchronized character?!

After racking her brain for ages, Mu Jin still couldn't grasp it and decided to stop trying.

Whatever, I'll end up with crystals one way or another!

But the real question right now...

How do I move Hu Tao aside?

I guess the best move is to quietly get up and act clueless.

Yeah! That's the plan!

She mentally patted herself on the back for her clever thinking!

But just as Mu Jin was about to shift Hu Tao...

She realized the person in her arms was grinning at her.

Crap...

Ahhh!

Mu Jin's hand hovered awkwardly in mid-air, like she'd been caught red-handed.

Before she could stammer out an explanation, Hu Tao's lips curled into a smirk, "Last night was truly delightful~"

Mu Jin's eyes went wide with shock and confusion. "Huh??"

"Oh my, just kidding~ What could two girls possibly do~"

Mu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. If her chastity had been claimed by a beautiful girl on her first night in this strange world...

That wouldn't be so bad, would it?

Hu Tao, having successfully teased Mu Jin, smiled devilishly, quite pleased with herself.

"But now I'm really curious, what's this 'mei... Juice'?"

Mu Jin was in deep trouble.

...Was I talking in my sleep?

Thinking back to the pre-collapse infatuated Kiana and the Raiden Mei from her dreams...

If she had been sleep-talking... She must have been going on about wanting Raiden Mei's 'mei... Juice'!

How in the world was she supposed to explain this?!

Mu Jin felt like crying but had no tears.
