Creak, tap, tap.
While explaining the relationship with Jung Da-hoon and clearing up Kessler’s misunderstanding, Snake Rim, who had gone to fetch the fox tranquilizer, returned and knocked on the door.
Oh, what should I do?
Perplexed, I bit my lip. As I hurriedly tried to turn back into a fox, Kessler grabbed my arm.
“…Why?”
“Just stay.”
“He might feel upset – the one he thought was a baby fox turns out to be a human.”
“Why should you care about his feelings?”
“I’m worried he might be shocked because of me.”
“Shouldn’t you worry about me being shocked?”
It was obvious, but when he asked why I was doing that, I was momentarily speechless.
“I have to stay here for the remaining 38 days. Even if you go back to my home, I can’t protect you during that time. So, there needs to be someone to protect you while I’m not there, right? You just need to worry about me not getting shocked. And if you’re safe, there won’t be anything for me to be shocked about.”
It was hard to argue against what he said, so I had no choice but to accept it.
‘It seems like he’s thinking about me, but also about himself, yet strangely, it makes sense.’
Kessler had received a 40-day sentence, and I only had a 10-day vacation.
“Then… I’ll open the door.”
After taking a deep breath, I opened the door of the cell that didn’t look like a cell. Snake Rim, standing in front of the door, rolled his yellow eyes and fixed them on me.
“…Welcome.”
Despite my polite greeting, he entered the room without a word, making a hissing sound. In his hand, he firmly held the fox tranquilizer.
“…You can take that tranquilizer yourself. Since it’s for foxes, it might be compatible.”
Snake Rim’s eyes rolled around. He must be wondering what’s going on.
“This is a fox tranquilizer.”
“He’s a fox.”
“Huh?”
Snake Rim’s usually dignified voice cracked. Snake Rim licked his tongue and stared at my face.
“A baby fox?”
I nodded once.
“A human baby fox?”
This time, I nodded twice.
“That’s right… Father. You must be surprised. I’ll explain the details over a drink.”
I politely poured the premium liquor I had taken out from my inventory.
Snake Rim tried to look serious, but his confusion was evident as he looked back and forth between Kessler and me.
“What’s going on here?”
“Remember his face since he’s the baby fox.”
“A baby fox… that talks like a human?”
“Yes. When you return to the castle, take good care of him. Make sure he doesn’t get into any danger. I won’t forgive a second mistake.”
“I’ll take good care of him, Snake Rim.”
I handed him a full glass of liquor. Snake Rim accepted it with a doubtful expression.
“Are you the baby fox?”
“Yes, Father.”
“I’ve never had a human son.”
I’ve never had a lizard father either, but since he’s been introducing me as his child, I decided to play the role faithfully.
“Are you okay? You must be very surprised. I’m sorry…”
“After the baby fox stays with me and his vacation ends, I’ll send him back to the castle, so you should leave right after lunch.”
At Kessler’s decision, Snake Rim stopped wagging his tail and asked.
“How did the baby fox become human?”
“He was originally human.”
It was a single sentence that dismissed all of Snake Rim’s confusion. As silence fell, the executioners brought in the meal. The table was laden with various dishes made of desert meat and vegetables, enough to break the table legs.
“Shock, shock, shock.”
“I understand that you must be very confused. But if you could accept me with a little more open mind, I would be really grateful.”
After quickly downing a glass of liquor, tears streamed from Snake Rim’s yellow eyes.
“My baby fox has crumbled.”
“What do you mean by crumbled? The shell is different, but the baby fox is me, and so is this current form.”
“Hoo-hoo…”
“Don’t whine in front of the food, what are you doing, ruining the taste of the meal?”
I picked up the most delicious meat dish and fed it to Snake Rim. Even as tears flowed, he accepted and ate it.
“Thank you for accepting me. I love you.”
At the press conference venue, he always expressed gratitude by drawing a heart in the air as an emoji when requested, but this time, he just shed tears endlessly.
* * *
“Okay, see you at the castle. When are you coming?”
“In 9 days.”
“Take care.”
“I’ll see you when I return.”
“It’s comforting to see you grow up differently from the others.”
As Snake Rim and I exchanged warm farewells like father and son, Kessler lifted one foot and pushed his buttocks as if to kick him.
“Alright, just go quickly. We want to play.”
“Yes, yes. I’m going. Please take good care of the baby fox.”
Snake Rim left the prison almost as if he was being chased out. I watched his departing figure through the window. His swaying tail seemed to carry the weight of the world, and it made my heart ache for some reason.
“Now, let’s play with me.”
Kessler pulled my waist, which he had been holding, towards him.
“I’m so full I could die.”
As I relaxed my body, Kessler lifted my shirt to check my belly.
“That tickles.”
“You’re wearing the clothes I prepared.”
“Are these our couple pants? Wait, is this really a prison?”
Avoiding Kessler, who was trying to blow a raspberry on my belly, I rolled away twice and got up. Then, I started looking around the room, which was open and spacious.
I didn’t notice while eating with Snake Rim because I was nervous, but there was a bathroom in the center of the room. …Moreover, it had glass walls. Wait, what is this… Is this a motel?
This is really awkward. Last time, I confirmed with my own eyes that Kessler doesn’t have a certain part, so he wouldn’t use it, but I’m a normal human.
Rather than showing myself using the bathroom here, I’d rather…
“I’ll turn back into a baby fox.”
“Turn into a baby fox.”
“I don’t want to.”
We exchanged playful banter. Indeed, I had become much more comfortable with Kessler than before.
“Wow… The view is good.”
While I was looking around the room, Kessler busily took out the nine-tailed fox tail and attached it to his body.
“You told me to become a baby fox, but why are you turning into a fox yourself?”
“Don’t you know? To get your attention.”
I noticed the golden hour hand lying carelessly at his feet.
“So, you didn’t bring that on purpose?”
“Yeah. How could I have the presence of mind to bring that? My mental state is like a flatfish.”
“More like a sunfish.”
The clock was hanging high up on the wall. Standing on the bedside table, I removed the clock’s hour hand and inserted the golden hour hand.
As I tapped and inserted it, Kessler came over and lifted me up by the waist.
“Hehe.”
“Dangerous…”
My legs flailed in the air.
The next moment, I landed on the bed. Enjoying the softness, I rolled around, and Kessler rolled with me, clinging together.
Behind my flushed cheeks, the tail swayed pleasantly.
Kessler, who had climbed on top of me, gave me several smacking kisses.
“Good, good.”
“…”
“You don’t like it?”
“…I like it too much. But honestly, Kessler, you seem more like a fox. You know?”
Just as the atmosphere was getting a bit strange, Kessler said,
“Then, let’s make up and mate as foxes.”
“What?”
So suddenly?
“No, wait a minute. Honestly, I’m human.”
“I changed my species because I love you.”
Regardless of my flustered state, Kessler kissed me deeply.
Is this why he sent Snake Rim away in such a hurry?
Kessler stripped off my shorts. With every blink, things were progressing one step further.
“Wait… just a moment.”
There’s something I must agree on first here.
“Why?”
“I’ll take it off for you.”
Kessler nodded and lowered his upper body towards me to make it easier to undress, glancing sideways at my actions.
“First… turn around.”
I stood Kessler up and, without hesitation, pulled off the tail. Then, to protect his buttocks, I attached it to my own.
“Hehe. Did I transform into a fox?”
And then, without hesitation, I yanked his shorts down. Maybe I was too caught up in the moment to process what I was seeing. But seriously—no matter how hyper-realistic the graphics are, in a world detailed enough to render every capillary in your eyes… how can someone be missing that part?
“…It’s not there.”
But it really wasn’t. Kessler didn’t have one.
“Could it be a little lower? Please.”
Still unable to believe what I was seeing, I spread his buttocks to double-check—hoping maybe I’d missed something. But in the process, I ended up brushing against the part in front, lightly stimulating it instead.
“…Why is there no hole?”
As if mocking my renewed shock, Kessler turned around. His fully erect cock smacked against my cheek. I couldn’t just leave it standing there like that, so I instinctively wrapped my hand around it.
“Why are you looking for a hole?”
“I was going to put it in…”
“I can put it in.”
“…Kessler, you should also know what it’s like to be on the receiving end.”
“Is it fun? Being penetrated?”
“…”
He reached behind me and took hold of my tail, then wrapped it around his neck like a scarf. Looking me dead in the eye, he asked again, his tone calm but firm.
“Is it fun?”
“If we’re talking about fun, I… I don’t know. Back then, you were completely out of it, and I had to help you reach a resolution. That was all I could think about. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is… it’s a little early to talk about whether it was fun or not.”
I offered the most roundabout explanation I could muster, trying to dodge the question—but I had a feeling I was only making things worse.
“So, you are curious whether it’s fun?”
“No.”
“I’m curious.”
“I’m not curious.”
“I am curious… about whether or not you feel pleasure.”
“…”
“Try it properly today—and tell me. Got it?”
…Well, I didn’t say no. I gave my eyes a quick rub and dove onto the bed.
“I’ll make it fun for you.”
Kessler climbed on top of me, and our bodies tangled together.
