chapter 12

It’s wobbling. She’s wagging her tail.

I grabbed her tail. I grabbed it tightly. It’s very thick.

“Miss, slaves have to listen to their masters, don’t they ……?”

“So, I can’t do anything outside of the contract.”

I stroke her tail to the tip. Her fur is even more shiny and wonderful than it looks.

“……Your ears didn’t respond, but your tail is overreacting.”

“The tail, the fox’s tail is very sensitive……”

The girl’s body shakes.

I stroke it once more.

“Ho, ho, ho.”

A small voice escaped the girl.

Petting and stroking.

“No, sir, I can’t do it, master, I can’t–!”

The girl’s mouth opened wide.

“Haha! Tickle me! It tickles! Hahaha!”

“I see.”

With each stroke, the girl wiggles her body.

That must be the ticklish part of the fox. The armpits and soles of the feet when it comes to humans, and places like that.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha, master.”

“Oops, that was too much.”

As soon as I remove my hand from her tail, the girl rolls onto the bed.

“Hah, hah, hah.”

She takes big breaths.

“Mm-hmm..”

“What do you mean?”

The girl gets up at my words.

“Oh, master, my tail! Oh, my God, that’s ridiculous!”

“But the shaking has stopped, right?”

“Body shaking is …… oh.”

The girl stares at her hand.

When I talked when I stared when I touched her ear. She was trembling a little.

“Even though it’s instilled in you that the other person is your master, you’ve never met me before after all. It’s natural to be scared.”

I’m the one who’s scared, running away, and then I was alone. I don’t know exactly what happened.

“Whatever you think, feel, or want to talk about, just say it. Master and slave is a formality. I was– I wanted a companion.”

I bend my knees in front of the girl and clasp her little hands together.

“Now, let’s pick a name.”

As soon as I said it – the bandage fell off the girl’s face.

My eyes met the blue eyes.

“Ah..”

The girl hides her face in her hands.

I grabbed her hands and gently let them down.

“You have those beautiful blue eyes.”

“……eh”

The girl’s gaze is once again turned to me.

Blue eyes and peach-colored hair.

“–Ouka. Your name is Ouka.”

“Ouka …… Yes, thank you, master.”

The girl’s smile was like a cherry blossom.

”And those blue eyes?”
