After trying on my sister’s clothes several times, there wasn’t a single outfit that fit me properly.

When my sister wore them, they fit perfectly, but when I wore them, they all turned into crop tops, and every time that happened, my sister’s expression darkened more and more.

It was to fulfill my mom’s desire, but if I kept wearing them like this, it would surely hurt my sister’s high self-esteem.

After calming down my mom, who was burning with desire, I approached my sister and patted her back.

“It’s okay, sis. It’s okay to be small. There are so many people in the world who like small things.”

“You… do you really want to die?”

“No, why do you get mad even when I’m trying to comfort you? That’s why you don’t have a boyfriend!”

“Just die, you brat!”

My sister angrily slapped my head with the back of her hand, and I grimaced in pain as my head felt like it was splitting in half.

It really hurts, seriously.

Is this what being human feels like? More like a gorilla.

I tried to stop my sister’s violence and protect her from my mom, but my mom took it a step further and completely destroyed my sister.

“Mom, my sister hit me.”

“This time, you deserved it. And don’t lie, son. Where do you see anything small? There’s nothing there.”

“Mom…?”

As my sister’s empty voice echoed through the room, a faint yet chilling atmosphere began to fill the room, causing my mom to hastily escape to the kitchen under the pretext of preparing dinner.

“Come to think of it, dinner isn’t fully prepared yet, right? I’ll go out first. You two siblings, have a good chat!”

Without looking back, my mom fled to the kitchen, and I patted my sister’s back once again to comfort her.

“Sis.”

“What.”

“There must be someone who appreciates even the cliff, just like there are tags for empty shells in the night view.”

“Get out!!!”

My sister threw everything she could grab with a fierce attitude, and soon even dangerous items like a dagger started flying towards me, so I hurriedly followed my mom to the kitchen.

As I arrived in the kitchen, hearing my sister sobbing in the room, I saw the dinner my mom had prepared diligently.

I cautiously tasted each dish, and as I looked at the piled-up chicken breast salad on the plate, I chuckled in disappointment.

Yes, that damn chicken breast salad. It’s one of the reasons I ran away from home.

Two out of three meals a day are that damn chicken breast salad, how can I endure staying at home?

Was I looking at the salad with a gaze full of hatred for the dressing?

As the dinner preparation was almost complete, my mom hugged my tempting tail and spoke.

“Son.”

“Yes, mom.”

“You still don’t have any thoughts of coming back home, right?”

With a light question, I smiled and replied.

“No, mom. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like home and I just don’t match. From the diet to the lifestyle, everything is different.”

“Too bad, I wanted to fully enjoy this tempting and soft tail. Can I come over to visit sometimes?”

“As long as you don’t bring dad. I’m sorry to say this, but if dad comes, the house will surely be turned upside down.”

Mom and my sister are allowed, but dad is absolutely not.

Unlike my sister and mom, dad values cleanliness very much, and if he visits, he will definitely turn my raccoon den-like home upside down.

“So if you want to heal with your tail, come alone. If you come with Dad, Mom won’t accept it from then on.”

With a smile on her face, Mom nodded as she let out a sigh.

“Isn’t that obvious? Besides, if you come alone, you can have all these tempting and fluffy tails to yourself. Hehe… Mom isn’t that foolish.”

…Honestly, she can be a bit silly sometimes.

I forcibly swallowed the words I was about to say, pointing to the cooling rice with my hand.

“But Mom, shouldn’t we start having dinner soon? The rice is getting cold.”

“Oh! The tail feels so good that I forgot…”

See, what did I say? Our mom is a fool.

As I chuckled at my mom’s playful antics, the fox deity next to me let out a sigh and spoke up.

– Hoo… They may look a bit different, but they are definitely mother and daughter. Quite the pair.

After finishing a cheerful family meal, I began preparing to head back home right away.

It was nice to see my family after a long time, but staying here overnight and moving during the day would increase the risk.

Just today, I almost got caught by someone several times while moving, so I asked for my parents’ understanding.

“I’m sorry. If I were in good shape, I would have stayed overnight and left, but it’s too risky to be seen by others in this state.”

“It’s okay, there’s nothing more important than your safety. But do you have to keep living in that form?”

“No. I can transform into a human form as long as the conditions are met, but I haven’t met them yet. Maybe I’ll meet them soon.”

So far, I’ve only been doing broadcasts, so my growth has been slow, but once I hire an editor and start uploading videos on LaTube, the time to gather energy will be shortened.

Depending on the editor’s skills and my current charm, growth could be fast in a month or slow in six months.

By then, I’ll probably have gathered the energy of a million people and be able to live a somewhat ordinary life.

Of course, my life of drawing adult content and enjoying happy times at home won’t change at all.

After saying goodbye to my parents and getting into the box, I suddenly had a question.

Wasn’t the meeting too smooth?

I remember from the TS novels I read before that parents would doubt the protagonist and the protagonist would have to reveal embarrassing stories to prove they were their child.

Why didn’t Dad and Mom have any doubts?

Just before my sister closed the lid of the box, I stopped her and asked my parents a question.

“Dad? Mom? I suddenly have a question. Why didn’t you doubt my identity? I could have been a strange woman pretending to be your son, right?”

In response, Mom seemed to ponder for a moment before slowly answering.

“You were indeed suspicious. A pretty woman with fluffy ears and a cute tail suddenly claiming to be our son, of course we had doubts.”

“But you didn’t show any signs of doubt at all?”

“Of course not. When you said ‘I caused an accident’ in our first meeting with your dad, all doubts disappeared. It was a phrase that only our son would say, how could we doubt?”

Laughing gleefully, Mom tousled my hair and then pulled something out of her pocket to hand to me.

“But son, or should I say daughter? You really won’t cause any accidents? If you do, will Mom get angry for real?”

“If you say that, why are you giving me a condom? You said I’m not really involved with that guy, right?”

“Hehe… You never know what will happen between a man and a woman. Just take one for now.”

Wasn’t there a saying that you can’t spit on a smiling face?

My mom was smiling so brightly that I couldn’t refuse the condom, so I ended up putting it in the corner of the box, thinking I would deal with it on the way.

“Is there anything else you’re curious about?”

“No, I should start heading out now.”

“Too bad, I wanted to talk a little more since it’s been a while.”

With a disappointed expression, my mom playfully wagged her tail one last time before letting it go, leaving her regret behind.

“Will you come visit soon, son? You have to take good care of your tail!”

“Are you coming to visit because you miss your son? Or because you want to heal with your tail?”

“Of course the latter, son. A fluffy and tempting tail is more precious than you, isn’t it?”

Seemingly not wanting to hear any more of the absurd conversation, my sister covered herself with the blanket after that remark.

“It’s getting late, mom. I’m getting tired, and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I’ll take him home now.”

“Just a moment, Seongju? Honey, don’t you have something to say to Seonghoon? You haven’t said a word since dinner.”

Although the box didn’t seem to be closed, I could feel my mom staring at my dad with a stern look, and a while later, my dad stuttered a few compliments to me.

“Son.”

“Yes, dad.”

“Remember, a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Don’t forget to always train yourself.”

“…Yes.”

It sounded like typical dad advice, but I probably won’t remember it.

I think spending time watching adult content and anime is better than training.

As I quietly responded to my dad’s advice, my sister lifted the delivery box and started to move, thinking it was time to go.

“Mom, dad? I’m really leaving now! And don’t worry about Seonghoon, I’m taking good care of him.”

“What are you taking care of? You always come over and act like a gorilla.”

“Do you really have the nerve to abandon him on the way?”

“I’m sorry.”

I don’t want to become a stray dog.

With my sister’s sincere threat, I immediately shut my mouth.

And so, the brief family reunion came to an end.
