Volume 4 Chapter 72 Cat Ear Tail And Ocean Schemes
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Then… come here.”
”R-Really? You’re really going to touch me…?”
Korukona looked up at me slowly. She didn’t seem scared—just nervous and shy. Her big eyes held a mix of tension and embarrassment.
”Do you not want me to?”
”It’s not that… It’s just… I’ve never been touched by anyone except my mom.”
So, I really am her first.
A strange feeling stirred inside me—not just pride, but something softer. I was the first person to ever touch this beautiful girl. That meant something. Even if I didn’t know what it was yet.
”I won’t be rough.”
”Then… okay.”
She took a step closer, still unsure, still stiff. Her tail swayed behind her, flicking slightly like it wasn’t sure what to do. I reached out my hand—slowly, gently—and placed it on her head.
Her hair was warm and damp from the bath. It felt like silk, soft and smooth under my fingers.
”Nn…”
Her shoulders jumped, but she didn’t pull away. If anything, she looked like she was trying not to smile. Her eyes narrowed, her ears twitching cutely.
I let my hand move higher. I touched her cat ears.
”Ah.”
The short, shiny fur was softer than I imagined. There was a little heat beneath the velvet-like surface. My hand brushed across it carefully.
”Meoww…”
A soft sound escaped her lips, like a kitten. It made my heart skip. She must be really sensitive here.
I slowly moved one arm around her waist and touched her tail with my other hand. I didn’t grab it. I just stroked it gently, following the way the fur lay.
”M-meow!?”
I turned in surprise. Behind Korukona, Yomi had appeared. She had taken hold of the tail from behind and was gently squeezing it.
”It’s so fluffy… I could get addicted.”
”Didn’t you enjoy that already in the bath?”
”That was different. This is fresh.”
I raised an eyebrow. Next time, I want to be in that bath, too. I’ll wash her tail—and her body, all the way to the hard-to-reach places.
While Yomi played with the tail, I let my hand slide down Korukona’s leg. Her skin was brown and glowing, healthy and fresh. My hand sank into the softness of her thigh—it was like touching warm water.
”T-Taro! That’s not my tail!”
”Don’t worry about it.”
”Don’t worry—eek!”
I slipped my fingers through the gap in her shorts. I traced the space between her thigh and her lower back, just softly.
”N-No, Taro! Don’t touch there…!”
”Why not?”
”Because…”
Korukona looked away. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were shining like she might cry. She wiggled in my arms, and I couldn’t help teasing her more.
”I can’t understand unless you say it.”
”Ugh… It just… it tickles.”
”Just tickles?”
”…Yeah… probably.”
Was she telling the truth?
I pressed just a little more firmly, rubbing her inner thigh softly. She let out a soft, strange noise from her throat.
”Ah… mm… nooo…”
”No? Are you sure?”
”Well… not really…”
Her expression didn’t match her words. She wasn’t pulling away. If anything, she looked like she wanted more. Her eyes sparkled, and her face burned red.
”Mm!”
”Meow!?”
Korukona cried out again. I looked—and saw Yomi, who had bitten the tip of her tail.
”Oops.”
Korukona’s legs gave out. I caught her before she fell, my arms wrapping around her by instinct. Our bodies touched, and I felt her warmth through our clothes.
”Yaa… Meow…!”
She trembled slightly. Her breath was warm against my neck. I reached up and stroked her ears again with one hand. With the other, I gently squeezed her side.
”T-Taro! Don’t touch my butt! And something’s… touching my stomach!”
Her voice cracked with embarrassment. I knew what she meant.
”What do you mean, ‘something’?”
”Uhh… m-my… uehh…”
She hid her face. That shy look only made me want to tease her more.
I held her waist so she couldn’t escape and pressed my hips against hers.
”No… Meow… Taro… I feel weird…”
She looked up at me, her golden eyes wet and glowing. Her breath touched my skin, sweet and warm. Her lips trembled.
I lifted her chin gently.
I leaned forward and brought my lips to hers—
Prrrrr.
A sudden sound stopped us. A mechanical ring echoed through the room.
”Meow!?”
Korukona jumped. Her body shook, and she scrambled away from my arms.
”Mguh!?”
In her panic, she kicked Yomi and ran to the corner of the room. Her face was bright red. Her ears flattened, and her tail swayed in confusion.
”W-What was that!? Wait… What was I doing…?”
She hugged herself tightly, curling up. It seemed like she had come back to her senses.
The mood was ruined. It couldn’t be helped.
I sighed and opened the system menu. I tapped the call button.
Seriously, who the hell is it now?
The screen lit up. There, wearing her little sailor hat, was Brownie—the fairy sailor in charge of the ship.
Notes:
• Korukona – A cat-eared girl with amber eyes. She is brave but vulnerable, showing honesty and gratitude. Taro rescues her from the pirate and plans to send her to her village.
• Brownie – A little sailor fairy.
