Everything Fits
“Ian-nim. We have some errands to run. We’ll be going now.”
“Ah, okay.”
“Ian-nim… it’s not that side, it’s this side…”
Sugar took Ian’s hand and adjusted the fork’s position. Only then could Ian safely put the romaine lettuce into her mouth.
“It’s been weird since earlier. …Is it because of the double room?”
“Ah, yeah.”
“Ian-nim?”
“Ah, yeah.”
“…”
The surprisingly serious reaction made Sugar’s eyes widen in shock. This girl who never usually screamed was instead trying not to make others scream.
Feeling sorry for her strange behavior, Sugar hesitated before deciding to speak.
“I-Ian-nim… if you’re that worried about the double room… then…”
“Ah, yeah.”
“Ryly and… together… share the room—room—room—room—”
“Then I’ll be killed by Sugar!”
“Huh?”
At that moment, Ian shouted loudly and shot up from her seat. The gazes of the students in the cafeteria all converged on one spot.
“Ah… sorry… Sugar… that was, I was thinking about something else. Did I say something weird?”
“… No. I didn’t hear anything.”
Sugar answered with a slight blush on her cheeks.
“Your image.”
“Be quiet…”
They whispered to each other and turned their attention back to Ian.
“Anyway, Ian-nim. We have some business to take care of…”
“Ah, yeah. Yeah. You can go ahead first. I still have a lot to eat.”
Now that she’d eaten one lettuce, her plate was full of food.
“… Then see you after afternoon class.”
“Ah, yeah.”
Leaving the dazed Ian behind, they exited the cafeteria.
“I need to properly talk to you after class today…”
“Don’t kill me. I don’t want to see you in the underground prison.”
“Hey!”
Did I really become that weird all of a sudden?
The outburst-like reaction Ian had shown came to mind. It’s hard to see oneself objectively. But since others’ reactions are like that, shame naturally rises.
Sugar suppressed those feelings and led the way. It was the path to revenge against Ryly.
There was a place they had in mind.
They had been wandering around the greenhouse, and behind it, there was a gazebo on the forest path. A Western-style gazebo.
Located behind the herb greenhouse, so people didn’t pass by much. A good spot. They’d have to use it often in the future.
“Hey, Sugar. You said you wanted to do something with just the two of us. Why here?”
“There’s a spot behind the greenhouse.”
“…”
A secluded place. Completely determined. Ryly braced himself.
When they entered the forest path, a quiet gazebo appeared right away. Faded wooden pillars and roof. Since it was spring, ivy was just starting to sprout new leaves and covered everything.
“This way. Here.”
“What are you planning to do…”
Sugar, who had entered the gazebo, hesitantly opened her mouth.
“You know, thinking about it, after we reunited, it seems like I haven’t done anything for you. Rather, you’ve only accepted me… and you don’t seem to have any plans to use the wish coupon…”
Even though you told me not to use it?
Ryly listened silently for now.
“So… I thought about what I could do for you without making you feel burdened. Something that would still be helpful… When I thought about it, it seemed like something I’d never done for you before. It could be simple. I thought it would fit perfectly.”
Sugar sat on the long bench in the middle of the gazebo, not the center but the end. There was a reason she chose that spot.
“Come here, Ryly. Lie down here.”
At the moment of sitting, her thigh slightly spread out on the bench. Accordingly, the fibers of the stockings stretched, lightening the color. Sugar looked at Ryly and tapped his suspicious thigh.
Ryly’s expression hardened.
“What the hell are you— right now—”
“N-no, it’s not weird. I’m trying to do this.”
Sugar quickly pulled out a case from her cloak and opened the lid.
Thin wooden rods. Some had fluffy cotton attached.
“That’s…”
At first, it wasn’t lewd. It was a perfectly innocent act.
But it could be used as a pretext to torment the body parts.
At the same time, it allowed natural skinship.
A behavior that fit everything.
“Ear cleaning set. I came to clean your ears, hehe…”
She could appeal to her ‘big sister’ side. She could take care of Ryly. And at the same time, release her revengeful feelings.
What a scary act!
She had quickly gone to the market right after lunch started and bought it. She liked the picture of an elf with an absurdly lewd expression, giving a thumbs up. In this world, elves were the race that most actively did ear cleaning. Because they lived in places with deserts and forests, always facing sandstorms, and with large ears, they naturally did ear cleaning often.
Anyway, Sugar had prepared an ear cleaning set from the eastern desert.
With this, she could legally torment Ryly’s ears. Using the excuse of cleaning, she could blow air as she wished. And with a knee pillow. Ryly’s trembling figure was right before her eyes.
This was never crossing the line. Sugar smiled wickedly in her heart, but outwardly, she smiled kindly as usual.
“Huh? Come on. Come here.”
“…”
Tap-tap on the thigh again, Ryly slowly moved his feet.
With an expression that seemed doubtful, he approached and sat on the bench.
“Hey. Sugar.”
“Why?”
“You… no. Can you do that well?”
“It’s the first time for me to do it to someone else… but I’ve done it a few times with my own ears. Do you not like it? I’ll do it as softly as possible.”
Ryly stared at Sugar without answering.
Precisely, her thighs. He looked down at her strangely fidgeting, plump thighs.
“Ryly. It’s fine. Come on. Don’t be embarrassed. I want to do it.”
The sweetly whispering voice was intoxicating. When lying down, it would definitely feel good, not. Purely. Pure skinship for ear cleaning. No more meaning than that.
Ryly closed his eyes tightly and tilted his body.
Ah. It’s soft.
“Hehe… it tickles.”
Due to the weight of the man’s head, the thigh was pressed. The fluffy golden hair gently tickled the thin, sensitive skin, and Sugar burst into laughter repeatedly.
“Well, first lie on your side.”
Since they were facing each other now, unlike usual, Sugar was looking down, Ryly looking up. Sugar liked the reversal of positions quite a bit.
Soon, Ryly rolled over. Not towards Sugar, but to the outside. As expected, Sugar smiled wickedly outside Ryly’s sight.
But… somehow, it was strangely embarrassing.
Because the feeling of Ryly’s cheek touching the thigh. Somehow, his breath brushing the surface. Sugar relaxed her expression and mumbled.
“T-then I’ll start…”
Calm down. If I get flustered here, what then. I’m a understanding and considerate older sister, so this is nothing.
Sugar made up her mind and first touched Ryly’s ear. Slow, gentle touch. To not startle him if the ear cleaning tool suddenly entered, she touched the ear to calm him.
Small, warm hands gently stroked the man’s ear. The skin was thin and sensitive there. Had to touch gently.
Then, moving the hand, she placed the thumb and index finger on the ear lobe and applied slight pressure. Squeezing. Enjoying the soft sensation, she massaged the entire ear again.
Schlick-schlick— a pleasant sound, and that sensation spread to Ryly’s ear. At first, the body that was tightly tense began to gradually relax. The rough and soft fibers touching the cheek, or the sweet scent coming from there. Although there were still many elements to be tense, since this touch felt good, Ryly slightly closed his eyes.
It seemed the preparation was almost over. Sugar stopped the massage and picked up an appropriately sized ear cleaning tool.
“Now I’ll insert it?”
The answer wasn’t important.
A thin, smooth wooden ear cleaning tool immediately entered the ear canal. Since she had already loosened the ear’s tension, Ryly didn’t react with a startle. He just let Sugar do as she pleased, slightly twisting his head.
Thus, the serious cleaning began. Scraping from the entrance of the ear canal. Gently, without hurting.
Only the two people’s breathing and the scraping cleaning sounds quietly echoed in the gazebo. A task that required concentration, so they were immersed.
“I’ll put it deeper. If it hurts, tell me right away.”
The ear cleaning tool went deeper. Sugar narrowed her eyes and focused more than before. Occasionally, “Um… nng…” sounds were cute. Paying attention so the other wouldn’t get hurt.
Ryly felt the touch and repeatedly closed and opened his eyes. His eyes were hazy.
The sound of scraping the ear wall without hurting. The rustling friction sound. A warm afternoon wrapped in soft body.
“…Does it feel good?”
Even the lightly whispering voice was good. So when he answered ‘…Yeah.’, a tickling laugh sounded near his ear.
“Next is the cotton.”
Sugar pushed the white cotton behind the ear cleaning tool. The soft touch, the sound like stepping on cotton, filled Ryly’s ear.
“Puffy… puffy…”
With onomatopoeia in her mouth, she slowly rotated the ear cleaning tool clockwise, counterclockwise. Then, she stirred inside the ear canal. Inserted and pulled out.
Approaching the end of ear cleaning.
The beginning of serious revenge.
“Ehehe…”
“Now it’s finishing…”
Sugar, who had removed the cotton, slightly poked her head out and looked down. The ear, naturally reddened from the continuing stimulation.
She blew air towards it.
How is it. No matter how it comes out, she could say ‘It’s part of ear cleaning’ and dodge. Come at me.
“…Huh?”
But unexpectedly, no reaction. Just, Ryly lying quietly.
Strange. He wouldn’t do this.
Sugar quickly checked Ryly. He was lying quietly with eyes closed. If she tilted her ear, regular breathing sounds were heard.
“Could it be… sleeping?”
“Could it be” couldn’t be expressed. Ear cleaning was a behavior that calmed the mind and body. That is, it was sleepy. In the middle, he could fall asleep anytime. Like dozing off at a hair salon. He could fall asleep deeply into that sensation.
“But then my plan!”
The plan to blow air wildly or say ‘Now turn to the other side’ to see Ryly’s embarrassed face!
“What?”
Sugar pressed her finger on Ryly’s cheek with disappointment. Still no movement, so her disappointment was great.
“Idiot.”
But, unlike that feeling. Ryly was actually awake.
He was pretending to sleep. No matter what plan Sugar had or what she did, he would pretend to sleep and cut from the entrance.
She had roughly guessed. Using the excuse of ear cleaning, blowing air into the ear or turning his face towards Sugar’s stomach for the other ear cleaning and showing his embarrassed self. Something like that. His insides were transparent.
“Cute though.”
Blowing air into the ear was something he could tolerate a little. He had become an adult. He had already endured a lot of Sugar’s skinship.
The best counter to pranks is indifference, no reaction. Why do you prank? Isn’t it to see the other’s reaction?
So, if you don’t give any reaction, that’s it. If you don’t do it blatantly, you’ll pout. Pretending to sleep solves everything.
Look now. The prank failed and she’s disappointed, but since she can’t wake him, she’s at a loss. Soon, he’ll naturally fall away.
“Ryly… you’re sleeping, right…?”
Will fall… away…?
Something was strange. Sugar slightly lifting her hand to Ryly’s hand was strange. And then rubbing. Inserting fingers and rubbing.
She did this often, so it was fine.
But the atmosphere was somehow off.
“…What?”
Ryly, slightly tense, kept regular breathing and breathed softly.
“Are you really sleeping? I’ll test it?”
“What?”
Sugar grabbed the man’s hand and led it somewhere.
Ryly with closed eyes didn’t know what was happening now.
He just knew that the magic touching his hand was Sugar’s magic. And, that the sensation was strangely rough yet smooth, it seemed he would fall into it.
It made him grab a warm, soft lump. Because it was so fluffy, his fingers sank in.
“Wait, this, isn’t it…?”
The place Sugar led her hand wasn’t far. Around Ryly’s head. Where was Ryly putting his head now?
By deduction, the answer was simple.
“W-what, what, what!”
“Are you really sleeping? You’re sleeping?”
“…”
“What if, if you pretend to sleep, you can keep touching. So you’re not pretending to sleep?”
“There’s no way!”
She made him grab, then gently. Rubbing lightly. Leading his hand so he could feel the stockings’ touch properly.
The soft, plump skin deformed by ‘Sugar’s hand overlapping Ryly’s hand’. The fibers that looked thick or thin depending on the angle sparkled with movement.
It was a sight Ryly with closed eyes couldn’t see. He could only imagine with the sensations from his hand.
“Ryly. You don’t want to open your eyes? You don’t want to see? By my, my, my, my…”
Sugar closed her mouth. Even she was embarrassed thinking about it, so she stopped midway.
“…Just say I really slept.”
He was awake. He was clenching his teeth and enduring.
Thanks to that strange effort, soon Sugar let go of her hand. And this time, she stroked Ryly’s hair. Thicker than Sugar’s, but still soft, her fingers lightly passed over.
“Sleep well, Ryly.”
Whether he knew or not that Ryly was pretending to sleep, or whether he was just closing his eyes or really not knowing. With a face already red, she smiled meaningfully and stroked for a long time.
So, Ryly, who missed the timing to wake up enormously, took books and stationery from Leon who was pretending not to know, and barely woke up.
