Early the next morning, as the morning sun shone through the window into the room, Yuuko opened his eyes and let out a long, drawn-out yawn.
After getting up, his right arm was a little numb, just like usual.
Yuuko didn't pay it any mind; he moved his body a bit, and the numbness disappeared.
After getting out of bed and leaving the room, he found that the little fox in its den was gone.
She probably went out to play again.
Yuuko didn't mind; instead, he quickly went about his daily washing, finished, and changed his clothes.
Then Yuuko left.
Today, he was going to Yae Publishing House to discuss matters related to the release of his new book with the editors.
After leaving his home, Yuuko quickly arrived at Yae Publishing House.
As soon as he entered, Editor Kuroda of Yae Publishing House came forward to greet him: "Lord Yuuko, you've arrived!"
The editors at Yae Publishing House are as enthusiastic as ever... Yuuko nodded and said, "Good morning, Editor Kuroda. I'm here today to discuss the follow-up release of my new book in detail."
Editor Kuroda smiled and said, "Perfect, the Editor-in-Chief is inside today. Lord Yuuko can just go and speak with the Editor-in-Chief directly."
"Chief Editor Yae is here?" Yuuko raised an eyebrow slightly.
Yae Miko being at Yae Publishing House in the morning was a rare occurrence.
That bad woman usually busied herself at the Grand Narukami Shrine during the day.
Otherwise, Yuuko wouldn't always have to wander over to the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Editor Kuroda nodded: "The Editor-in-Chief is in the innermost room."
"Then I'll go talk to the Editor-in-Chief."
With that, Yuuko walked straight towards the depths of Yae Publishing House, until he reached the door of the innermost room.
He knocked on the door without hesitation.
"Chief Editor Yae, I am Yuuko. I'm here to discuss the new book with you."
Strangely, there was no response from the room.
"Strange, didn't Kuroda say that bad woman was here...?" Yuuko muttered softly, then continued to knock on the door.
But still, he received no response.
Yuuko frowned slightly. Just as he was about to go back and ask Kuroda what was going on, he noticed that the room door seemed to be ajar.
Driven by curiosity, Yuuko pushed the door open directly.
He then discovered that Yae Miko was indeed in the room, sitting by a large table, her head resting on it.
"So she fell asleep..."
Yuuko thought for a moment, then walked into the room and closed the door.
Although he didn't know why this bad woman was sleeping in broad daylight, he could just wait for her to wake up here.
Anyway, Yuuko wasn't in a hurry.
So, Yuuko sat on the other side of the table, bored and spacing out, observing this bad woman who was clearly very beautiful but loved to tease people.
A faint, ethereal fragrance, similar to a floral scent, wafted through the room. This was probably Yae Miko's natural scent, and it was refreshing to smell.
Against the backdrop of this delicate fragrance, Yae Miko, sleeping with her head on the table, exposed her fair neck, which was quite eye-catching.
Under the table, the scenery beneath her skirt was not well-covered, and the sides of her creamy, smooth legs were fully revealed, giving off an indescribable sense of allure.
Just by lowering one's head and looking under the table, one could see more sights unseen by anyone.
Yuuko, a man of unyielding integrity and uprightness, naturally wouldn't lower his head to look.
However, with the possibility of someone entering the room at any moment, Yae Miko's sleeping posture was so unguarded... Yuuko secretly complained in his heart.
Unbeknownst to him, the corner of Yae Miko's mouth, as she slept soundly on the table, was slightly upturned.
Yae Miko wasn't asleep at all; in fact, she was wide awake.
At this moment, she was feigning sleep to tease Yuuko.
Hehe, seeing my unguarded sleeping posture, Little Qian, can you restrain yourself...? Yae Miko, thinking this to herself, curled her lips even more.
While feigning sleep, Yae Miko was also carefully sensing the changes in her surroundings.
Just then, she felt Yuuko seemingly moving closer to her.
Hmhmhm, Little Qian is indeed interested in my body. As expected, Little Qian is a boy, he can't help himself, can he...? Yae Miko felt a little smug.
Yae Miko had an idea: she would wait for Yuuko to do something to her, then suddenly get up and scare him.
Then she would tease him again. With a combo of moves like that, she would surely make Yuuko blush crimson!
Yae Miko was looking forward to it.
However, where would Yuuko make his move first...? Just as Yae Miko was anticipating the unfolding events.
She suddenly felt her ears, on top of her head, being stroked.
And, being touched on the ears felt quite comfortable... Why did Little Qian suddenly start touching my ears? But, this technique... Yae Miko frowned delicately, wondering whether to get up now.
The tingling sensation in her ears made her somewhat immersed in the feeling of being caressed... Hmm... Little Qian is usually quite tired, let him touch them a bit longer. I'll suddenly get up and scare him later... Yae Miko, feeling comfortable from the touch, decided to let Yuuko touch her for a while.
Just for a tiny while!
On the other side, Yuuko was constantly rubbing and caressing the fluffy pink fox ears on top of Yae Miko's head with his hand.
He inexplicably felt that this touch was somewhat familiar, as if he had touched it somewhere before... Of course, touching Yae Miko's ears was not Yuuko's original intention; he just had an inexplicable urge to caress them.
More than an urge, it was like a habit, something he was already accustomed to.
Like washing hands before meals, it had become a habit, and he wouldn't even consider why he did it.
Anyway, by the time he realized it, Yuuko had already started touching them.
As he stroked and stroked, Yuuko's technique gradually became more familiar, and seeing Yae Miko sleeping so deeply, he became even bolder.
So Yuuko rubbed Yae Miko's ears even more vigorously.
Suddenly... "Hmm~" a soft, alluring sound was heard.
It made one feel tingly and their heart flutter.
"Hm?" Yuuko frowned slightly, wondering if he had just imagined it.
"No, what am I doing? If I get caught, won't I become a pervert...?"
At this moment, Yuuko also realized that touching a woman's ears like this was a very impolite act.
Not to mention that Yae Miko was still sound asleep; doing such a thing to her at this time was no different from being a beast.
So Yuuko cleared his throat, quickly withdrew his hand, and returned to his seat, sitting quietly.
He didn't notice that the two fluffy, long ears on Yae Miko's head moved slightly, seemingly expressing displeasure.
At the same time, under the table, Yae Miko's fair feet were also twitching continuously.
She seemed very uncomfortable, enduring it... And Yae Miko's face, resting on the table, was already as red as an Apple... Yuuko didn't notice any of this; he just quietly waited for Yae Miko to wake up.
Almost before long, Yae Miko, who had been resting on the table, finally couldn't hold back, letting out a long sound and stretching as she got up.
She looked truly no different from someone who had just woken up.
It was just that, for some reason, Yae Miko's face was flushed, and a hint of unfulfilled desire lingered in her eyes.
"Ah, Chief Editor Yae, you're finally awake!" Seeing Yae Miko finally awake, Yuuko smiled.
