Episode 4

"Garim, I'd... like it... if you... helped me... release my sexual urges."

Who wouldn't be flustered by a request to help someone release their sexual urges?

Especially when that request comes from a childhood friend you're close with.

"...Me?"

Flustered, I just ended up questioning it back.

Normally, you'd release sexual urges by yourself.

Whether through masturbation or whatever.

"Mm-hmm, I'd like it if you helped me."

"...You're not teasing me, are you?"

"...No, I'm not!!"

Seeing Daeun burst out angrily made it clear this wasn't a joke.

"...Why are you asking me for help? Can't you... handle it... yourself?"

At my question, Daeun was at a loss for words for a moment.

After fidgeting ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a bit, she hung her head low and then

"...I don't know how."

muttered very quietly.

What does she mean, she doesn't know how?

"Huh?"

"I, I don't know how to release them!!"

Perhaps too embarrassed, Daeun raised her voice sharply and then hunched over, hiding her face.

"...Even looking at the user manual, I don't get it. And it's hard to ask my parents...."

"But asking me is...."

"B, but. I didn't intend this at first... Garim, when you touched my ears and tail yesterday, it felt really good...."

"Ah."

Oh, right, when I touched Daeun's fox ears and tail yesterday.

Her words brought that moment back to mind.

"When I touch them, there's no sensation... But when you, Garim, touched them, it was different...."

Daeun spoke while touching her own ears and tail.

Unlike yesterday, seeing that there wasn't even a change in her expression, it must be true.

"It was incredibly good... And Garim, you're just like when we were kids... so you feel reliable."

Daeun shyly told me this.

Seeing that look, for a moment my heart raced and then sank, or so it felt.

"...Alright, I'll help. I'm a bit clueless about how to help, but I'll help you as you requested."

...If she trusts me this much, I can't refuse.

I had ultimately made an irreversible, tremendously important choice.

"Really!? You'll do it, you'll grant my request?"

"...Yeah."

"Garim-ah, thank you. Hehe."

Her fox ears and tail swayed sala-sala.

It feels like watching a puppy's tail-copter—probably means she's happy.

"...Don't stare so hard. It's embarrassing for some reason."

Daeun got embarrassed because I was staring so intently at her ears and tail.

She pressed one ear down with a hand and hugged her tail with the other.

"Got it, I won't stare, so you don't have to do that."

Calming Daeun's mild wariness, I fell into thought for a moment.
It's good that I agreed to help, but how exactly am I supposed to help with this?

"Mmm...."

"Garim-ah, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just have no clue how to help."

Helping someone else release their sexual urges is bound to be an unfamiliar concept.

I can't help but sigh.

"...Daeun-ah."

"Mm-hmm?"

"Listen to what I'm about to ask without misunderstanding... okay?"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

I took ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a moment to steady my breath and then opened my mouth.
I never thought I'd be the one asking something like this.

"How did you... usually release them...?"

"Huh? Ah, my sexual urges?"

"...Yeah."

...I tried to phrase it indirectly.
But if she puts it that bluntly, there's no point.

"Usually... I just rubbed this place with my hand."

As she said this, Daeun pointed between her legs with a finger.
The rather straightforward answer made my face turn red on its own.

"You just... rubbed it?"

"Mm-hmm, isn't that all there is...?"

She tilted her head, unsure if she truly didn't know.
Where and how am I supposed to start helping with this...?

"When I rub it, it gets ticklish and my body heats up, and that feels good. But, that was less... than when you, Garim, touched my ears and tail...."

Daeun stole glances at me while wagging her ears and tail.
For some reason, she seems to want me to touch them—or is that just my imagination?

"...But why does it feel good when I touch them? What's different?"

"Hmm... I don't really know that either. Maybe it's written in the user manual?"

My gaze and Daeun's simultaneously moved to a certain book.
I immediately picked it up, opened it, and carefully turned the pages one by one.

[...As a Gumiho's ears and tail have a high concentration of nerve tissue, merely touching them can elicit a sensitive response.]

"Ah. This must be it, Daeun-ah."

"Aha... So when I touch them, since it's my own body, there's no reaction."

After the curiosity was resolved, a sudden silence flowed through the room.

Just as I was wondering what to say next, Daeun crept closer to me.

"Garim-ah, since you said you'd help... touch me. Okay?"

"Ugh... right now?"

"Yeah, right now."

Daeun kept approaching without stopping, arriving right in front of my face.

Then she slightly bowed her head and, while wagging her tail, moved it near my arm.

"...I'll touch it."

"Uwoong...."

Carefully moving my hand, I very gently grabbed Daeun's ear.

"Haaht...!"

Daeun immediately reacted, letting out a moan. At her more intense reaction compared to yesterday, I quickly pulled my hand away.

"...Do I need to do more?"

"Uwoong.... Doing it clumsily is worse than not doing it at all."

"Umm..."

Upon hearing what Daeun said, I quickly understood and nodded.

Well, if I'm going to do it anyway, doing it properly would actually be helpful.

"...I'll touch it again."

"Uuoong.... Huung, haaht...."

Carefully touching her ear, moans seeped out again.

As I touched as gently as possible, Daeun's moans also softened.

'...This feels strange.'

I could feel the throbbing pulse in her ear, and with each touch, the twitching made me truly feel that this was Daeun's ear.

In the midst of that, the soft, fluffy fur ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠tickled my fingers.

"Haat, Garim-ah.... There, it tickles.... Huuut!"

Now, not just Daeun's ear, but her body started to move little by little.

Thinking I should just keep going like this, I continued touching her ear.

"Garim, ah. My tail tooo... touch it too.... Haung, uueuht."

"Your tail too...? At the same time?"

Based on yesterday's memory, the tail should have had a stronger reaction than the ears.

Touching her tail in this state right now...

"Uuoong. Haau.... Then, mooore... seems like it'd be better. Haaang...."

Daeun's words were somewhat understandably ambiguous, yet in my head, the thought that I absolutely couldn't do it was running wild.

'...If I touch it here and Daeun's reactions become even more intense, I think I'll start having trouble holding on too.'

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed impossible, so I was about to refuse outright, but

"Huuuaang.... Is it nooot possible...?"

Daeun put her hands together and looked at me with a pleading expression.

Her face was full of heat from excitement, and tears were slightly welling in her eyes, which intensely stimulated me.

'That pose was only for when she had a request she really wanted to make.... And with that face on top of it...'

Does she want to do it this much, even making a request like this?

I let out a small sigh and soon resigned myself.

Yeah, I agreed to help anyway. No reason to back out here.

"I'll do it."

I immediately moved one hand away from her ear and reached toward her tail.

The moment my hand touched her tail

"Haaueuht!?"

An incredibly loud moan escaped Daeun.

Because of that, I got excited too, but first, somehow suppressing it, I gently touched both her ears and tail.

"Haung, Garim.... Huung, hueuht, haaaaat♡"

Daeun, as if feeling extremely good, began twisting her legs and letting out a ton of moans.

...Seeing a girl in front of me getting excited by my hand made it feel like I'd entered a porn video.

"So, gooood.... Huung, at. Haeuuk, uung♡"

"...How much do I need to do?"

"A little biiit, mooore... Ang, haaat♡"

Daeun, properly excited now, didn't even try to suppress her moans and seemed to be enjoying the situation.

Because of that, holding back was not as easy as I thought.

'East Sea and Baekdu Mountain...'

Reciting the national anthem in my mind to endure, my hands moved even more relentlessly.

"Huung, haang. Garim-ah, the tickly feeling. Something's... straaange♡"

"...Are you about to go?"

For a moment, I panicked, wondering if I'd been too direct with my question.

"Going, toooo...? Eungheut, hayuk.... I, don't knooow...♡"

Instead, Daeun was calmly accepting my question.

'I guess this level of question is okay.'

I thought I'd made a slip of the tongue for a moment, but fortunately not.

Watching Daeun, who brought both hands between her thighs and started fidgeting

'...Looks like it won't be long now.'

I pressed and rubbed various spots on her ears and tail, giving multiple stimulations.

"Haat, aaaang♡ Tha, that... dooon't... stoop...♡"

My hand movements must have been good as she reacted intensely.

I continued touching her ears and tail mercilessly, and her ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠body twitched before

"Haeueueueuht...!!!!"

Finally, in front of my eyes, she happily went over the edge.

"Hauu, uuung.... It's straaange.... Feels gooood...♡"
