Prologue
Long ago, right before Grandmother passed away, she had some final words for me.
"Child..."
"Yes, Grandmother."
Swallowing my tears, I answered her.
Grandmother gripped my hand tightly, as if urging me to never forget, and whispered,
"Promise me, child... Never take off that necklace... ever..."
The necklace Grandmother had stayed up countless nights to craft just for me. Feeling it still hanging around my neck, I made my promise to her.
"I promise, Grandmother. Never... I'll never take it off."
Those words were both her dying wish and my solemn vow. I've lived by them ever since, repeating them endlessly in my mind.
And today—by pure coincidence—the moment that necklace finally slipped off.
I finally understood why Grandmother had begged me so desperately never to remove it.
"Haa... haa..."
The girl straddling my body, her three tails swishing seductively, stares down at me like she wants to devour me whole.
Her cat-like upturned eyes are usually one of her most alluring features, but right now, they're making my entire body go rigid.
"Uh... hey, Miho? Could you get off me first?"
I reached out calmly, trying to sit up, but Miho snatched my hand and ground her hips down to pin me in place.
*Lick.*
She brought my captured hand to her lips and slickly lapped at my thumb.
The sudden jolt of pleasure made my hips buck wildly, but Miho just pressed down even harder with her ass.
"Haa... haa..."
Miho moaned wordlessly. Beautiful and radiating raw sensuality, she swished her tail like she was craving something.
"Th-that... Miho? Could you please get off?"
In response to my plea, Miho silently undid the front of her uniform.
In that instant, I realized something had gone terribly, terribly wrong.
