I sat in the middle of an interrogation room. Thankfully, I wasn’t chained to the table. Instead, I had a steaming cup of coffee held in my trembling hands. One of the officers had brought it by to help me calm down. Honestly, it was appreciated. Not all of my trembling was faked. Adrenaline and relief that I survived had mixed not that long ago.
”Miss Vale.” A door opened, and my eyes shot up to see a detective walk in. My ears—pulled back and pitiful like I was a traumatized puppy—shivered at the sight of him. “I’m sorry for continuing to hold you. We just have a few more questions.”
”I-it’s fine, detective.” I forcibly adjusted my habitual smile at the last second to make it weak and watery. All this acting was starting to get to me. “I understand.”
The detective sat down across from me, and pulled out a notepad. He scratched idly at his head as he read through it. “You said you were there because a viewer from your stream chat doxed you?”
”Y-yes, that’s right.” The story Selene and I came up with was that a fanatical fan made threats against me unless I came to meet him. Selene worked some kind of reality warping magic to create a message log and everything. My alibi was also solid thanks to the taxi driver. As for the fan? Must’ve been scared off by the screaming.
“Did you have any idea what you were dealing with when you arrived at the farm, Miss Vale?” The detective looked up from his pad. Although his expression looked understanding, he watched me with deep suspicion.
“I… I could smell the blood. That’s what drew me to it in the first place. I thought someone was hurt, and then I—“ I closed my eyes pitifully and shook my head. “I heard her screaming and rushed to help.”
“You were very brave.” The detective praised me gently. “Is there a reason why you went in there instead of calling the police first?”
”I just—I heard the scream and there was no time.” I shook my head like the memories were too painful to live through. “He… the dead man, he had a gun.”
”Yes, of course. You fired off two shots of the home owner’s shotgun at the murderer, correct?” The detective sighed as I stayed quiet. “You’re not in any trouble. We’re just trying to get a clear image of what happened.”
”Yes… I don’t think I hit anything. T-the attacker was startled by me and jumped out the window. Do you—do you think he’ll come after me?” My hands trembled even further. Not that I was actually all that terrified, naturally. More exhausted than anything. If I played the victim card too, that’d hopefully make them not suspect me of anything.
The official story was that I scared off the murderer before he could claim his second victim. Selene had cleaned up every speck of the outworlder’s blood and left nothing behind. As far as the police knew, I was terrified and whiffed two shots while the murderer got away.
“The chances are he was just as startled as you, Miss Vale.” The detective shook his head.
“Y-yeah, but I stand out in the crowd quite h-heavily.” My drooping tails lifted like depressed dogs as if to prove that point. I couldn’t blend in if I tried.
“Then it's all the more important that we catch this guy. Can you tell me what the attacker looked like, Miss Vale?” The detective looked up from his pen and paper. “Any clue could be helpful.”
“I-I don’t know, officer.” My trembling intensified, and my tails rubbed against my body as if to comfort me. I put on my best hollow-eyed look as if I was still haunted by the scene. [Great Rig] gave me a boost to lying and performance, and I took full advantage of it. “It just—it all happened so fast, you know?”
There was no way I was going to tell them that I killed the attacker, and my fairy who shouldn’t exist in this world made the corpse disappear. That was asking to be locked up in a loony bin. The only objective I’d be able to complete then would be the Ten Year Journey and maybe still Afterglow’s Own? They always said not to fuck with crazy, but if crazy was all I could fuck…
“Anything at all, Miss Vale.” The detective pressed me once more.
My composure dropped ever so slightly as my mind drifted back to the jackal. Now that some of the shock was wearing off, my heart felt a little heavy. I tried to push past it, though. I had a feeling this kind of thing would happen again and again in the future, whether I wanted it to or not.
”I… he was tall? A-and definitely a male.” I squeezed my eyes shut, and hunched forward over the coffee cup. My disorderly hair fell forward to drape over my face. “I-I think he had dog ears or something?”
”I guess? It could’ve been a fox, though.” To be fair, a lot of canines had extremely similar ears. At a glance, it could be hard to tell them apart.
“I understand.” The detective watched me for a few moments longer before snapping his notepad shut. “Don’t leave the city for at least the next two weeks while we investigate.”
“I won’t.” A shiver went down my tails. They really were suspecting me of some foul play. How annoying. “What, uh, what about the woman? Is she okay?”
He stood up from his chair, and looked toward the black window on the far side of the interrogation room. He casually adjusted his tie before speaking again. ”Mrs. Clydesdale is awake. From what we managed to understand, you likely saved her life.”
“That’s good.” I let out a heavy breath of relief. I was genuinely happy that she made it out of that okay. For once, I didn’t have to act very much.
“One of our officers will drive you back home, if that’s okay.” The detective opened the door for me with a kind smile on his face.
”Thank you,” I muttered softly. My head dropped as I followed him out of the interrogation room, and my pastel-pink hair flowed in front of my eyes.
The car ride back to my apartment was long. The officer got lost a few times, driving around the block and forcing me to act for a way longer time than I wanted to. It felt like there were eyes all over me as I worked my way back to my apartment. I kept the pitiful act right up until my apartment door shut behind me.
I leaned against it, and let out a heavy sigh. That… didn’t go as badly as I expected it to. I thought they’d hold me through the night. I still needed to stream tomorrow though. Hopefully this wouldn’t mess with my actual priorities.
“Seren!” Selene cried out and darted across the room to me. “You’re back!”
”It’s good to see you too.” I scratched at my ears as she flung herself at me in a hug. She was tiny, so she barely managed to get her arms around the side of my neck.
”Everything go well on your end too?” She asked as she dropped down to sit on my shoulder.
“We should be in the clear.” I moved over to my bed, and took a seat. I fished the faintly glowing Realmstone out of my pocket, and held it up into the light. “What is this thing, anyway?”
”Incredbily precious!” Selene flew up to hug the small stone to her chest. It was about as big as she was. “It’s super rare, too. I have no clue how that guy managed to get his hands on it.”
”What’s it do?” I let her have it, and flopped back onto my bed. My tails curled around me as I pulled off my bra and tossed it to the far side of the room. My jeans and panties followed right after it until I was just in my hoodie. The cool air felt incredible against my skin.
”Um…” Selene blushed ever so slightly as I sat there fully exposed in front of her. Was she really a fairy of Afterglow? Lewdness was, like, our patron’s whole thing.
I thought it’d take some effort to make myself horny after what happened, but just her looking at me was enough to start that low heat into a boil once more. My thoughts drifted to Sable playing with me, and I instantly started to feel flushed again.
“Could I go between realms with it?” My hand dropped my belly to play with the soft skin there. My palm traced lazy circles against my navel. My muscles fluttered in expectation for what was to come.
Despite my rapidly warming body, my attention stayed on the Realmstone. She said it was nearly impossible for non-Realmwalkers to move between realms, so it must’ve been what that jackal used to get here from wherever he was from. Could I use it to go to a different realm than this one before I even accomplished an Objective?
“Y-you don’t need this!” She hugged the Realmstone to her body as if to hide it. Her eyes snapped up from between my legs back up to my face. “I… I can take it, though, and, uh, use it to upgrade your system?”
”Really?” I stopped what I was doing, and looked up at her in surprise. A system upgrade would be really nice. I’d take just about anything that could help me complete my objectives quicker. Not that I hated this world by any means, but it was just… it felt like my purpose? It was hard to put into words.
“Yeah!” The fairy’s wings fluttered excitedly. “We should be able to use it to draw in items and stuff from other realms.”
“Take it, then.” I didn’t have any other use for it. I didn’t really need it anyway. Like she said, I didn’t need it. I was a Realmwalker all on my own without the need for some external stone. Read the latest chapters at novelping.com.
”Thank you!” She hugged the stone even tighter to her body. Her eyes dropped to where my hand was slowly drifting in between my thighs once more. The little creature’s cheeks instantly flushed a rosy red. “S-Seren! A-are you really just going to masturbate in front of me?”
”If you want to stay and watch?” I laughed, and focused back on what I was doing. I needed this. My day had been quite stressful, and I needed to wind down and relax. “Or you could join~?”
”I can’t!” She squeaked out. Not that I actually wanted her to, but it was kind of fun teasing her.
My hand slid lower until I was brushing the soft hair above my mound. The touch sent a jolt through me. My slick was already flowing freely even without anything but the cold air caressing me. Ugh, I’m such a slut.
I bit my lip lightly. Instead of directly touching myself, I slid my hands up along my hoodie to trace my breast. The heat of my skin against the hoodie sent a shiver down my body that just made me spread my legs wider in arousal. My tails wrapped around my body, entwining with my limbs as I brushed my hardened nips.
“Mmmm.” I moaned softly as a slow bolt of lightning spread down through my breasts. The feeling intensified as I pulled on my nipples lightly.
My eyes snapped shut, and one of my hands slowly slid down my body. Its passage left goosebumps, and one of my tails swung back up to replace where it’d been playing with my perk titty.
My fingers dipped lower, sliding along the pink heart over my mound. The instant I caressed the slick folds of my womanhood for the first time, sparks shot up along my spine to make my entire body feel hot and flustered. My canine dug into my lip in ecstasy, suppressing an erotic moan.
“I-I should go!” Selene, who I’d honestly forgotten was then there, buried her head into the Realmstone. Instead of watching the show, the small fairy vanished into thin air. The stone naturally went with her.
I pressed harder down on my clit, and my back arched off the mattress slightly. The fabric of my hoodie pulled tight against my chest as it sagged down, and cool air rushed up along my back. It only made the heat shooting out through my body all the more apparent.
The tensions of the day eased as I played with myself. All my thoughts drifted away until I was focused purely on the present. On the aching throb in between my legs.
My hips rolled against my hand as I shifted to rubbing my clit with my thumb while my soaked fingers probed my entrance. My other hand tightened its hold on my nipple under my hoodie. Another rough gasp left me as it pulled down roughly. The tail caressing my other one couldn’t follow suit, so it just dragged the soft fur up and down rapidly across my sensitive flesh.
My tails weren’t idle either, rubbing and massaging at my limbs until I was a droopy puddle of wet foxgirl. My head threw back into a wanton moan. “MMmmmm.”
I slid two fingers into myself. The feeling of being filled by my own hand made me cry out even louder. My walls clenched around the digits desperately, sucking my fingers deeper into my pussy. Even as I worked myself, I found myself wanting more. My insides ached for something long and thick to fill me.
I’d been keeping away from dildos, but at the moment I was desperate for one. Or for someone. The thought of someone sliding in between my thighs, working me as I wrapped around them made even more slick gush out of me. I wanted to be filled so desperately, and my fingers just weren’t cutting it. I had to work with what I had, though.
My eyes closed, and my world narrowed down to the tightness around my fingers and the pleasure wiggling across my walls. The small bean of my clit was flicked again and again, drawing out moans and shuddering breaths out of me. It was one of the most sensitive parts of my body, drawing out endless pleasure.
The sounds I made were wet and sloppy. I felt that pulsating wave build inside of me. It coiled tighter and tighter as I pushed harder and faster. “Hnnng!”
My back arched into a sharp curve and my body convulsed. Even as my muscles felt like jello, I sped up and fingered myself as hard and fast as I could. Wave after wave of pleasure radiated through my body until my toes curled and my tails thrashed. I rode out the waves until I got every last sweet moan out of myself and collapsed onto the sweat-damp sheets.
I lay there, breathing hard as I stared at the ceiling. I released my tit, and slid my hand out from under my hoodie. Before I could second guess myself, I swapped hands for round two, slurping off the glistening sheen coating my fingers as I went.
