"Boss! Hey, I need to talk to you about something!" As Marisa's voice echoed down the corridor, it startled Patchouli awake immediately.
Looking at Rin's peaceful sleeping face, a flush of shame instantly spread across her intoxicated pretty face.
What exactly had she done! Hurriedly letting go of Rin, a silver flash suddenly streaked past her eyes, making Patchouli feel both embarrassed and annoyed, wishing she could travel back in time to slap herself.
Listening to Marisa's footsteps gradually fade away outside, she cautiously cracked open the door.
Before she could even observe the situation outside, Marisa suddenly darted back and tightly grabbed the door crack—
"Patchy, is the boss still with you?"
"N-No... after I finished imprinting the spell on him, he went out... maybe you should check somewhere else?" Patchouli didn't dare to look directly into Marisa's eyes; her ear tips were burning red.
"Why is your face so red?"
"You know, imprinting the spell consumes a lot of energy. My mana recovers slowly, so I feel a bit unwell."
"Is it okay? Do you want me to get you some snacks or something to help?"
"No need, I'll be fine after resting for a bit."
Patchouli shook her head, just about to close the door, but Marisa held on tightly without moving, which made her nervous.
Was she found out?!
"There's one more thing, Patchy, when you get some 'Wasted Dreams' from the boss later, can you share some with me?"
"Just a little sip is fine!" Marisa asked eagerly, feeling restless without tasting it.
Now that she finally had a chance through Patchouli, there was no way she'd miss it!
Hearing this, Patchouli's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Alright, I can't drink much anyway. I'll just take a sip and give you the rest."
"Yay!!! Thanks, Patchy! I'll definitely treat you to something tasty later!"
Seeing how easy Patchouli was to persuade, Marisa immediately laughed happily.
Without delay, she said goodbye and went off to search other rooms. But as she searched, she felt something was off.
Why did the feeling of the French kiss disappear? Just when her appetite was getting excited, it stopped—how could that be!
Marisa held her head in frustration, wishing she could scratch Rin a few times.
This half-finished feeling was the worst!
Damn it, since I'm here, I'll ride this freaky boss hard and give him a good lesson, otherwise, my evil fire won't cool down, and this guy will definitely do it again!
"Boss!!"
"Come out quickly, I swear I won't hit you!!"
"I'm reporting someone stealing snacks, hurry up and help catch them."
As her shouting echoed nonstop, Patchouli seized the opportunity and silently moved Rin to the bathroom.
After quickly filling the tub with warm water, she awkwardly closed her eyes and stripped Rin completely, then tossed him into the tub.
After handling everything, she returned to the room, breathing heavily from exhaustion.
After all that fuss, her heart was pounding, and an indescribable thrill kept surging in her chest.
This forbidden, guilty thrill of sneaking a taste was irresistibly corrupting her will.
But luckily, as she calmed down, all distractions quickly faded, and she pretended nothing happened while swiftly cleaning up the scene.
After some tossing and turning, Marisa finally found Rin in the bathroom.
Seeing him leisurely rubbing body wash, Marisa swallowed hard, then silently closed and locked the bathroom door.
"Boss..."
"Perfect timing, help me scrub my back."
"Oh~"
"Sit facing me and scrub."
...
Suddenly, while tidying the room, Patchouli's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees.
Her breathing stopped abruptly, and her hands clenched tightly on the freshly spread bedsheet.
After catching her breath, feeling the all-too-familiar fierce and strange stimulation, Patchouli's eye twitches uncontrollably.
That guy Rin was still asleep! Marisa, you monster, actually loves this kind of play?!
But at that moment, with the memory of the tongue resurfacing, Patchouli's resistance weakened a lot, her pretty face deeply buried into the pillow.
The exhilarating rush of mana replenishment and the frenzy of contact intertwined, sweeping through her mind with memories, making her body increasingly weak and craving.
If she, now in the bathroom, was replenishing mana at this efficiency, how terrifying would that be...
While Patchouli was lost in these wild thoughts, on the other side, Reimu had grabbed Remilia, who was playing with a spinning top with Flandre.
"Hand over the 'Wasted Dreams'."
"???"
Remilia looked at Reimu with confusion.
So she had 'Wasted Dreams'? She didn't even know?
But as she realized it, she rolled her eyes unhappily—
"I don't have it!"
"If I got it, I would have immediately announced it to the world and roasted the dog boss."
"Sakuya wouldn't help me, and the dog boss's methods are shady, I don't want to get caught up in that."
"You really don't have it?"
"Why would I lie? I, Remilia, disdain lying!" Reimu's brow furrowed immediately.
This wasn't right. After asking around, not a single one had it!
The only one left was that dogged tabloid, who knows where it had gone to source it!
That thing was just recently hung on a flagpole for repentance, and now it dares to mess up again?!
With that, she rushed toward Momiji to inquire about the tabloid's whereabouts.
After hesitating briefly, Remilia handed the spinning top to Flandre and sneaked after them.
'Wasted Dreams' was stolen! If she could find it and snatch it, maybe she could taste it too!
However, Yuugi, the one who actually had it, was suffering like never before.
For the first time, she felt the span from afternoon to night was so long, it seemed to drain all her lifespan!
The temptation from 'Wasted Dreams' was constantly gnawing at her willpower. If not for Patchouli's request, she probably would have lost control already.
Just as she was about to succumb, Suika suddenly appeared and greeted her—
"Yuugi, want to go have a drink? Yukari prepared a lot of snacks."
"Alright!"
Seeing other drinks temporarily ease her torment, Yuugi's eyes lit up, grabbing Suika and rushing to where Yukari was.
Seeing her slightly unusual behavior, Suika's eyes sharpened.
Her intuition told her that her drinking buddy was hiding something from her!
