As I confirmed the cosplay girl with golden fox ears and a tantalizing tail fainting, I stopped my attack and looked at the bald man in front of me.

His clothes and body were already tattered from being hit all over the place.

Nonchalantly sticking out my tongue at his appearance, I arrogantly demanded an explanation from my precious younger brother’s friend with a smirk.

“Keep it brief. Explain it to me in a way I can understand.”

After stating simple conditions, the bald guy deeply contemplated and summarized it in just three lines.

“Seonghoon found a fox spirit manga that is close to a masterpiece while browsing through 19+ manga.”

“That bastard is always like that, next.”

“He had a happy time with the masterpiece just once.”

“If I had a masterpiece, I would have a happy time too, it’s human nature, can’t help it. Everything was normal until here… next.”

“And he turned into that pathetic-looking gumiho, that’s the end of the explanation.”

“It feels like a lot of the middle process is missing, doesn’t it?”

Staring at him with a fierce look to demand more explanation, he didn’t open his mouth despite having a frightened expression.

“I don’t know the middle process. I just slept and woke up looking like this, how would I know?”

“If you’re one of the most famous people in the other world, I thought you would know.”

“What does being famous have to do with it? I don’t know much either. The important thing is, that bastard really turned into a pathetic fox spirit. Of course, it’s only during the rutting season.”

At the crude words of the bald guy, I punched his side and asked him.

“You two did it, didn’t you?”

“We didn’t. We almost got to the stage right before doing it, but that bastard had such a strong aversion.”

“If you did, I was planning to kill both of you, it’s a shame.”

Expressing regret while clenching and unclenching my fist, the bald guy chuckled and said to me.

“Don’t be disappointed, Nuna. Soon, the day will come when I’ll get you.”

“…This bastard? Doesn’t he have any shame in front of his older sister?”

“No, I’ve been seeing you for over 15 years, I can’t even tell if you’re a real sister or just a neighbor, so what can I say and what can’t I say?”

“Even so, this crazy bastard, how would you feel if someone came to you and declared that they would boldly devour your younger sibling?”

“Wow… I would think our sibling has already grown up? That’s what I would think.”

In response to his calmness that seemed like he would really say that in such a situation, I struck his neck with all my might.

Thud!

“Ouch…”

The bald man let out a painful groan from the sudden neck attack.

Hoping for his repentance, I mercilessly struck his head with my palm.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

The strikes were so sharp and addictive. I considered hitting him a few more times, but I managed to suppress my urges and said to him.

“You need to suppress your sexual desires.”

“Don’t you think I’m suppressing them better than the one lying there? Isn’t this enough?”

“It seems insufficient to me? Moreover, my sibling was a man, wasn’t he? Even though his body has changed, doesn’t it feel a bit strange to think about devouring a guy who was once a man?”

Trying to convince the bald guy and correct his misconceptions, he listened to my words and earnestly countered with a serious face.

“Nuna, are you the one who’s actually thinking something wrong?”

“…Me? Where am I thinking wrong?”

Showing a face of incomprehension, he chuckled and began to explain.

“Unnie, what is homosexuality? It’s when people of the same sex physically love each other, right?”

“Is that so?”

“Then, if a man and a woman mix their bodies, that’s not homosexuality, right? Isn’t that correct?”

“…Is that so?”

It sounded convincing, but…

“You have to include the emotional aspect too! If a man is mentally attracted to another man, that’s practically homosexuality!”

“No? Why do you have to include the emotional aspect when having sex? The emotional aspect has nothing to do with sex.”

“What?”

Unable to comprehend the nonsensical argument, I gave up trying to reason with him, as he continued with even more absurd statements.

“Unnie, don’t overthink it, just keep it simple.”

“What do you mean by overthinking? Can you explain where I overthought?”

“Did you not think about the emotional aspect while having sex? That’s already overthinking it.”

Taking a deep breath to calm his excitement, he continued speaking calmly.

“Creating a baby, or having sex, is the most primal act for all living beings. Whether it’s a man or a woman, as long as the body feels good, why do you need to consider the emotional aspect?”

“That’s fucking sexist, you crazy bastard.”

“How is that sexist? I’m just discussing sex seriously. Unnie, I think we need to talk a bit more… Crackle…”

Afraid that listening to him further would lead to irreversible insanity, I swiftly struck his neck with my palm, causing him to lose consciousness.

To find solace for my troubled mind, I slowly began stroking the large and fluffy tail of the fox.

This is really healing, is this some kind of animal therapy or something?

I wonder if I ask for a tail to take home, will they give it to me?

—–

Waking up to a sharp pain in my chin, I opened my eyes to see the stern face of my fierce older sister.

After a long time, I met my intimidating sister, who, despite her robust appearance, was gently nuzzling my tail with a sunny face.

However, with a grip on my tail that seemed like it would tear it off, I endured the pain and asked her to be gentle.

“Nuna.”

“Are you awake?”

“Hey, can you please hold my tail gently? It feels like it’s going to tear off.”

“Is this your tail or mine?”

Despite her teasing words, my kind sister loosened her grip on my tail.

After playing with my tail for a while, my sister asked me a serious question.

“I heard from the baldy. What happened to you?”

“If you heard, then you know. It’s just as he said. I found a damaged fox mermaid, had a happy time with it, and when I woke up, I looked like this. The end.”

“How can you live with such a strange appearance? You can’t even go outside, it’s frustrating, and most importantly, you can’t earn a living, right?”

Concerned, my sister attempted to suggest cohabitation.

But knowing that cohabiting with that human weapon could turn into a real mess, I shook my head and pointed to the tablet on the table.

“I have a means of earning money. Nuna, do you know the profession of an illustrator?”

“Of course I do, they’re artists who make a living by drawing, right?”

“Yes, my profession is an illustrator. And I also work as a streamer, so I have no problem with my livelihood.”

I recently raised my commission price to 150,000 won for a full-body illustration.

I was already known for being quick with my hands among illustrators, and becoming a fox mermaid only enhanced my artistic skills.

I can draw up to two pages a day if I’m quick, which means that if I really put my all into it, I can earn up to 9 million won a month.

When you add in the allowance and donations from streaming, it averages out to a million won a month.

Living in this cramped little studio apartment poses no problem for me.

I turned on the banking app to show my sister my account balance, proving that I have no issues with my livelihood. I thought everything was going perfectly until…

“You’re a streamer? What’s your streamer name?”

Suddenly, my sister took an interest in my broadcast, and I found myself facing a more serious problem.

What was my broadcast usually like?

Wasn’t it a crazy show where patients with serious delusions and the head of the psychiatric ward communicated with each other?

The drawings I did on the broadcast were already an issue, but looking at the chat, it seemed like my somewhat normal sister was going to cause trouble.

I shook my head and refused to reveal my streamer name.

“No way. I can’t tell you.”

“It’s not like it’s a big secret. Is it a nickname closely related to foxes and werewolves?”

“No! It’s a cool name for a streamer!”

“Is your cool name ‘FoxWerewolfMaster♡’? Just search for FoxWerewolf and you’ll find it right away.”

…Honestly, isn’t that a decently cool and acceptable name? It’s better than coming up with cringeworthy English names.

In my opinion, it’s a really cool nickname, but I have to deny it somehow now.

I cursed my nickname as vulgar and denied my sister’s words.

“That’s not me, okay?”

“Your voice sounds the same, and your usual way of speaking is very similar. But the content of the broadcast seems off?”

My sister looked at me with a mocking expression and showed me her phone screen, where…

[I’m drawing tentacles, lolis, condoms, and fertilization? All good, but let’s skip the lolis, okay? This isn’t Paraguay, it’s Korea, you crazy bastards… I’m not planning to go to the police station yet…]

It was a rough sketch of my past self choosing to draw 10-tag adult content.
