070 Good boy, pat pat on the head

"what!"

Momo's voice seemed to startle Best. She instinctively looked at Momo's face, wanting to see his expression, which showed a hint of nervousness, as if he thought he had hurt Momo.

After all, this was something precious to Mo Mo. Although it felt soft to the touch, it was just held in Best's hand. Could it be that she subconsciously used too much force just now?

At the same time, Best subconsciously wanted to let go, after all, he had already hurt Momo, how could he continue to hold Momo's ear?

However, Momo seemed to have already sensed Best's thoughts. He reached out to Best's hand and grabbed Best's wrist, which was too slender to be grasped easily.

It felt slightly cool to the touch, which seemed somewhat inconsistent with Best's identity as a Crimson World. However, upon reflection, it's not hard to understand. The flames of a Crimson World are not real flames, and Best's current body is more of a human body.

The body of a girl who is only about 1.3 meters tall and looks thin and petite.

Best, whose wrist was gripped by Momo, paused for a moment, then seemed to tense up and tried to pull his hand back. At that moment, his ears, which had been trembling slightly from Best's grip, started bouncing and swaying again.

Best was about to speak when Momo interrupted him, saying, "Why don't you continue? Look, my ears are very happy!"

Momo's words drew Best's attention from her wrist, which Momo was holding, to Momo's ear. Seeing that Momo's ear was still lively, Best breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that she hadn't hurt Momo.

"Your cries just now have already shown that this area is very sensitive. If I grab it, it will hurt you, so let's just forget about it."

“No, no, no,” Momo quickly denied, his ear brushing against Best’s small palm again. “I have some of my body’s sensory nerves connected to it, so it is indeed very sensitive. But Best, sometimes sensitivity means comfort, and your palm makes me feel very comfortable.”

Best blinked and said, "Comfortable?"

"Yes, it's very comfortable."

"But……"

Best was clearly a little skeptical, because Momo's words didn't match her own experience. No, not entirely, because Best also had sensitive ears, and because of her bad memories, she absolutely refused to let anyone do anything to her ears.

Would it feel good to have my ears touched?

"If you don't believe me, you can try it again. This time, you can judge for yourself. Come on, Best, I really like your palm."

Best still didn't quite believe Momo's words, but Momo's ears rubbed against her palms, making Best's breathing gradually quicken, and she couldn't resist wanting to touch that soft and vibrant thing again.

Finally, Best reached out again, no longer caring that Momo was still holding her wrist, and Momo obediently took Best's hand and placed it on her head.

Best's small hand touched Momo's rabbit ears again, and this time, compared to the abruptness of the last time, it seemed more gentle and slow.

Her slender fingers, carrying a hint of coolness, gently touched the pair of erect ears. Yet, even the slightest touch caused the ears to tremble and shake, and Mo Mo's body seemed to tremble as well.

As Best gently touched Momo's ear, he also paid attention to Momo's expression. Only when he noticed that although there was a hint of pain on Momo's face, there was also a strange joy on his face did he believe what Momo had said.

Maybe...it really will feel comfortable?

Mustering her courage, Best stretched out both hands, one hand supporting the back of the rabbit's ears, while the fingers of the other hand carefully traced the auricle of the rabbit's ears, and then gradually moved her fingers towards the inside of the rabbit's ears, caressing the rosy inside.

With each subtle movement, the ear in Best's hand would react accordingly. The soft yet elastic ear would gradually deform in Best's palm, then return to its original shape when Best let go. This seemingly monotonous game increasingly attracted Best, making him unable to resist getting closer and closer.

She leaned close to Mo Mo's head, her hands caressing Mo Mo's ears with a fascination, her breath brushing against the trembling rabbit ears. At the same time, Mo Mo began to make strange noises, and a mysterious blush rose on her face.

This blush seemed to be contagious; Best's petite face also turned red, and her small lips couldn't help but open to help her already overwhelmed nostrils breathe.

At the same time, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her hands not only continued to move but also began to move in many different ways, as if the ears held an endless attraction for her.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, with a muffled groan from Momo, Momo suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around Best's waist. Best was clearly startled by this action, but this time he did not launch a flying kick at Momo.

Because Momo said, "Um, let me hold you for a little while, just a little while!"

Best didn't know what had happened, nor could she see what expression Momo had, who had buried her face in her chest. However, looking at Momo's trembling rabbit ears, which seemed to have even changed color, she felt as if she had done something terrible.

Her face flushed even more, but in the end she still reached out and stroked the pair of trembling rabbit ears, as if to soothe the two little darlings that fascinated her.

After a while, Momo released Best, letting her slip out of his arms, and said with a shy smile, "Sorry, did I scare you?"

Their eyes met, and Best's emerald green eyes seemed a little flustered. She turned her head away and said, "It's nothing. Consider what I just did as a thank you gift. Thank you for letting me... stroke your ear."

Best paused for several seconds, seemingly struggling to find the right words. Otherwise, what words could she use to describe her actions just now?

To play with, toy with? Or to tease...?

Well, none of them seem quite right.

"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Momo's ears drooped down, as if she were bowing to Best to express her gratitude for the comfort and pleasure Best had brought her.

"Now you should believe me, right? Ears are something that people touch. Touching them really feels good. I'm not kidding you."

Best looked at Momo's ear with a strange expression and said, "This... is a simulation, it may not be considered real."

"So, as you just saw, how did I feel at that moment, compared to how you felt when your ear was touched?"

Best instinctively reached for his hood, his eyes darting around, and said, "It's different. You're a simulation, you're human, you won't be hated. But me, this appearance will be hated, hated by everyone..."

"How could that be?"

Momo shook his head in denial, saying, "Cute things are cute things, no matter what they're paired with. I dare say, Best, you've never revealed your secret in Academy City, otherwise you would definitely find that there are people who don't hate you, but instead are fascinated by your uniqueness."

Best paused, then said, "No... actually, someone knows my secret, she..."

Best naturally thought of Misaki Shokuhou, and it was only then that Best realized that Misaki Shokuhou was the best counterexample.

Knowing Best's secret, instead of disliking her because of her cat ears, they seemed to become obsessed with her because of this secret.

Best suddenly felt a little confused. Had she really made a mistake?

However... it's still unknown whether it's right or wrong, because... Best doesn't allow anyone to touch her ears, because touching them is a significant reminder of her identity and past, not even Misaki Shokuhou.

"It seems I was right. So, reality isn't as scary as you think. And even if you weren't happy in your world before, this is Academy City. Why not try to accept a different version of yourself?"

"Try... a different version of yourself?"

Best looked at Momo, as if she understood what Momo meant. She pursed her lips, hugged her hood with both hands, and seemed to hesitate.

"Consider this a thank you gift. Best, your hands felt really good to me, so let me prove it to you, okay? If you feel uncomfortable at all, you can leave anytime."

As she spoke, Momo moved closer to Best's face, her rabbit ears, now restored to their former vitality and length, swaying like sharp knives, once again drawing Best's attention.

Recalling the trembling of those rabbit ears in her hands, Mo Mo seemed to be telling the truth...

"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."

As she spoke, Momo slowly reached out and placed her hands on Best's hood. Her two large hands covered Best's two small hands that were holding the hood down, and then she took the small hands in her palms and slowly pulled down Best's hood.

The burning heat of Momo's palms contrasted sharply with Best's body temperature. As a being from the Crimson Realm, this was the first time Best had ever felt such intense heat and the sensation of being burned by flames.

What a strange feeling... such a warm temperature...

Best hesitated for a moment, and Momo pulled her to stand in front of her. Then Momo took both of Best's hands in one of her own, and reached out with her other hand towards Best's hood.

The speed remained slow, as if it were not afraid of Best's regret, while Best panicked completely. A strange feeling flowed through her body, making her no longer dare to look Mo Mo in the eye.

Her emerald green eyes were hidden behind her eyelids.

"ah!"

The fabric slipped off and touched Best's sensitive area, a cool breeze caressing the part that had just been exposed. With a gasp, Best instantly understood what had happened.

For the first time, her private parts were exposed by someone else, and she offered no resistance.

Author's Note:

I had already asked the editor for leave because of a power outage at home, but the power came back on, so I'm back with an update.

This is the first update.

071 It's time to unleash the real head-patting skills!

As Momo pulled back his hood, a pair of small, hidden ears, concealed by Best, were finally revealed to him. To Momo's surprise, they turned out to be cat ears.

Momo had forcibly touched Best's head a few times before, but he only felt the existence of these special ears. However, he couldn't figure out exactly what kind of ears they were.

Now everything is clear: these are cat ears.

The two small black ears have a perfect shape, with dense, short black down on the back and long, light gray down on the inside. The down is much denser and finer than the down on the back, so Momo can see the reddish skin on the inside of the ears through the down.

Having his ears exposed was a completely new experience for Best, so the cool night air alone was enough to make his whole body tremble, and the tremors were gradually intensifying.

This did not surprise Mo Mo. After all, although Best looked like a petite girl, she was actually a non-human being who had lived for countless years, which made her obsession not so easy to change.

At this point, Momo needs to do something.

Cat ears?

Momo's gentle breath brushed against Best's earlobe, causing Best's cat ears to twitch nervously a few times before standing up and facing Momo.

This is a cat's instinctive reaction. The cat's ears standing up indicates that Best is nervous, and the fact that the cat's ears are consciously turned towards Momo means that the source of Best's nervousness is Momo.

This action brought a satisfied smile to Momo's face. This tension didn't necessarily indicate hostility, but rather that Best was scouting—asking whether the person before her named Momo was an enemy or an ally, whether he harbored hostility or goodwill.

How could Momo possibly be an enemy of the cute, emotionless cat-eared loli Best? And how could her feelings towards Best possibly be malicious?

All Momo could have was pure love!

Best seemed to sense Momo's love as well, looking at Momo, then at Momo's head, where the light was gradually changing, transforming into a pair of cat ears that were seven or eight parts similar to Best's shape.

However, Momo's cat ears still maintained their own style, white with red trim. After all, these were created by Momo's own power, so they could only be described as having two color tones: white and red.

Upon seeing Momo reveal her cat ears, Best's eyes lit up again, and even the tension from before seemed to have largely disappeared. Then, Best's ears twitched instinctively, as if greeting Momo, and one of Momo's cat ears twitched in return.

This instantly put Best at ease; the boy in front of her... didn't seem much different from herself.

After Momo's cat ears greeted Best, the outer ears began to protrude outwards, indicating that Momo was in a very good mood and was showing Best Momo friendliness.

Best isn't a cat, but as a being of the Crimson World, the concept of a cat is definitely present in her characteristics; otherwise, she wouldn't be in her current posture. Now, seeing Momo's cat-ear gesture, she immediately understood Momo's meaning and instantly changed her posture in response.

Best's cat ears were no longer pointing towards Momo, but rather standing upright in a normal, slightly raised position. This indicated that Best had relaxed its guard against Momo, but as a very wary cat, Best was clearly still tense.

This is something that Mo Mo's half-baked cat language skills can no longer handle.

But it doesn't matter, Momo isn't a cat anyway, so even without cat language, Momo can still use her hands!

"Would you like to sit here?"

Momo patted his crossed legs, pulled Best's hands and led him towards himself. Best looked at Momo's legs and naturally understood what Momo was going to do.

So he really... wanted to touch his own ear again...?

Best still didn't quite understand why Momo was so persistent in doing all this, but seeing the cat ears that clearly showed that the other party was in a good mood, Best couldn't bear to refuse Momo. Following Momo's instructions, Best sat on Momo's crossed legs, with his back to Momo.

A pair of small black cat ears twitched slightly, indicating that Best's tension was rising. If anything startled her at this moment, she would probably jump out immediately and then... bare her teeth and claws at Momo.
