Tsukaishi ②・I want you to do it by hand…
Ah, a night of deep darkness, without stars or moon.
The Witch was looking down, staring at me.
Her pale green eyes seemed to glow strangely.
Even in the darkness, I could tell it was The Witch by her silhouette. I just knew.
“…”
I can hear The Witch’s breath. I can feel her intense warmth.
The Witch’s Tail is touching my leg.
“…”
I couldn’t move, nor could I make a sound.
The only thing I could do was wait. Just wait. That was all.
What else could I possibly do? She was The Witch!
Even so, it really looked like The Witch was pinning me down.
Leaning over me… yeah, that’s basically what was happening. Huh? This Witch… On closer inspection, she’s naked.
“Hey, hey, Wof (boy). Kon… no, Wof (boy), there’s something I absolutely… need you to do for me…”
With feverish, trembling eyes, The Witch spoke, her voice laced with a troubled sigh.
Even though she spoke quietly, I heard her clearly.
“W-What is it…?”
My voice trembled. It was The Witch’s alluring tone, the likes of which I’d never heard before.
The voice of a woman trying to entice a man. The Witch’s gaze grew moist. I couldn’t look away.
“Mhm, mhm. You see… About Kon…”
Then, The Witch moved, changing her posture. She reversed her position, front to back.
In other words, The Witch’s tail… Three Tails, brushed fluffily across my face.
“Th-The Witch…?”
She’s different from usual. No, I already knew that.
The Witch had been acting strangely since daytime today.
But should I ask about it? Maybe it was just my misunderstanding.
Even if I asked, sometimes she would just evade the question. And that strangeness had continued.
After dinner, she took out several bottles from beneath the kitchen floor.
The moment I opened it, I knew from the smell. It was alcohol. And thus, the witches’ banquet began.
And then, The Witch got drunk. No, not just drunk—she got completely plastered.
Even though she usually only drinks in moderation, she went full throttle with no brakes right from the start.
Seeing The Witch this drunk… Apparently, it wasn’t just me; it was the first time for everyone else too.
Being in such a state, The Witch passed out and fell asleep.
I left the rest to Munieca-san, the heavy drinker who wouldn’t show a hint of it no matter how much she drank.
And now, the Witch, emanating an overwhelming scent of alcohol, spoke in a sultry tone.
“Kon’s… Kon’s… Tail… I want you to do its grooming, you know~”
She was completely plastered.
“Grooming… um, you mean like combing it…? But I don’t have a comb…”
“Don’t need it, don’t need it. I want you… to do it directly with your hands, Wof boy… you know~”
“But I’ve never groomed a tail before.”
Besides, tails aren’t something you should just touch carelessly, right?
“Even so, even so, it’s fine. I want you, Wof… to groom Kon’s tail however you like.”
“Really… Is it alright for me to do it?”
I asked such an obvious question. I already knew the answer without hearing it.
But that’s exactly why I wanted to confirm it. I wanted to hear them.
The Witch’s words.
“Do… do… what I want…”
Turning back to show her profile, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes shimmering as if with a slight fever, she gave her Tail a large wag.
Her voice, sweet, rich, and melting like The Witch’s mead, tempted me.
In that case, I reached out without hesitation, grabbed her Tail, and put my fingers into her Tail.
The Witch’s body jolted, her spine bending as she arched back like a bow.
I firmly twined a large amount of fur around my fingers, slowly and gently combing through it.
“Haah, haah…”
Each of the Witch’s Three Tails has a different fur color and texture.
The right Tail is silvery-white from base to tip; it looks fluffy, but the fur feels a little coarse when touched.
“Nyah, nyah…”
The middle Tail is flaxen at the base and white at the tip; it’s soft and plush, and the fur clings to my fingers when I touch it.
“Aaah, aaah…”
The left Tail was flaxen-colored, faintly white at the base. It was fluffy, and the fur felt thick to the touch.
“Nngh… Nnngh…”
Thick. My fingers sank deep into it.
It was warm, soft, and a little slick with sweat, and I felt something thick beneath.
This must be the base of The Witch’s Tail!
For some reason, I felt an urge to grasp it, and grabbing hold, I carefully stroked the Tail.
“Th-That… d-don’t do thaaaaat!?”
It might be stating the obvious at this point, but I’m just Grooming her Tail.
I’m just freely Grooming the Witch’s Tail with my hands, exactly as I please.
I run my fingers along the base of her Tail, scratching lightly as if tracing the fur.
“My Tail—noooo!”
The Witch’s body convulsed violently, and she tumbled off the sofa.
“Witch!?”
“Hah… hah… Wof… boy…”
“The Witch muttered,” and then collapsed limply.
“……”
Wh-what should I do?
Though it was far too late, I regretted my actions.
The Witch woke up.
It didn’t take that long for her to regain consciousness.
“Nngh… nn… Wof…? Oooww, my head… it hurts…”
“Are you awake?”
I handed my Crescent Vessel canteen to the Witch. The contents were a Potion, highly effective for sobering up.
The Witch gulped it down, noticed she was lying on the sofa, and tilted her head.
“Kon? Kon, what on earth…? Ah.”
It seemed she remembered, and she turned beet red up to the tips of her fox ears in an instant.
She hurriedly sat upright on the sofa, looking down deeply with her face still bright red.
“First off, um, I-I’m sorry.”
“Hmm…? Hmm…? Why would Wof (boy)… apologize…?”
“Uhm, well, during Grooming, The Witch panting from my fingers was just so enjoyable… I didn’t hold back, did whatever I pleased, and couldn’t stop myself…”
“Uhaah… uhaah… S-so embarrassing…”
The Witch squeezed out a voice. Her whole body turned red, and sweat dripped down.
“But, why are you doing this…?”
At that question, The Witch raised her face. She forced herself to look at me.
She gave a wry smile.
“Oh my, I was so anxious, wasn’t I… Wof (boy), you were changing, and while I knew it was growth, and as your master, Kon, I was happy about it… I still felt like I was being left behind somehow…”
“You were anxious?”
I can relate to that.
The reason I asked why she likes me. It was because I was anxious.
“Even if… even if we’re master and disciple… even with our master-disciple relationship… I thought… I had to do something… you know, Kon. This is the first time I’ve ever felt this way… so I’m scared… and sad… and heartbroken… and lonely… you know.”
A single tear traced down her cheek from the eyes gazing at me.
My heart skipped a beat.
“I feel lonely too,” I said. “The Witch was always out, after all.”
“Ah, ah, yes, yes. I’m sorry.”
“But I knew it was for my sake. Even so, I still felt lonely.”
“Oh my, is it the same as Kon… I wonder? Feeling anxious and lonely, my heart… my chest aches.”
“Yes. It’s the same.”
Hearing my words, The Witch smiled sorrowfully.
The Witch and I are the same. We thought we could live alone forever.
But that’s wrong. It’s wrong.
We can no longer live alone forever.
I… The Witch, no that’s not right. Master, that’s not it either… Oh, right.
“The Witch. Could you please tell me your name?”
I didn’t know The Witch’s name.
The Witch seemed to realize this too. She gave a small nod and opened her mouth.
“It’s Laalalili.”
I felt like I finally knew The Witch. Knew her, Laalalili.
Looking satisfied, The Witch returned to her room.
Once again, I lay down on the black sofa.
“…”
I took a quick peek, but her yellow hood hadn’t moved. Apparently, she was fast asleep.
She had also drunk way too much and was completely plastered.
Furthermore, Shiro-san had also passed out drunk, eventually becoming like a doll that only let out groans.
The Witch’s party probably would have turned into a living hell if Munieca-san, who can really hold her liquor, hadn’t been there.
Relieved, I propped myself up and closed my eyes.
Just as I was drifting off, I sensed someone’s presence.
When I opened my eyes, a pair of gray, raptor-like eyes, glazed with fever, were staring at me.
“Eh?”
She had beast ears and a tail.
But it wasn’t The Witch. She clearly lacked height and had a small, thin, naked body.
Completely the opposite of The Witch’s bewitching physique. An immature, beautiful naked body I recognized.
“…Chive-san…?”
“Uhm… Woff-cchi. You see~, my Relic, [ Demonic Beast Frazzley ], lets me transform into the armored Demonic Beast Frazzley, but~… it also… w-well, it has several forms… The First Form is like a beastman~… l-like this, I sprout black ears and a long tail with pitch-black fur… And so~… I have a favor I want to ask you, Woff-cchi~”
“A favor…?”
Nodding, Chive-san turned around.
Even in the darkness, I could clearly see the jet-black furred Tail slapping my face over and over.
It was long, and its fur was dense.
“My tail too… do whatever you like with it…”
Her voice, thick with a woman’s passion, beckoned me. There wasn’t a man alive who could resist.
I reached for Chive-san’s tail, grabbed its black fur firmly, and yanked it hard.
Chive-san’s small, naked body arched violently along with a piercing cry.
Ahh, what a worthless, despicable person I am.
But this is the kind of person I am.
