The white scales tightened, the red tongue
flicking against my fingers.
For some reason… it was sexy.
The cockatiel looked this way and folded his
arms.
“Snake, it doesn’t matter if you get close to her. We always had to deal with this ourselves.
“She would call us disgusting and leave. Let’s
go, I’ll take you back.”
He went to help the snake.
Then, I interrupted him.
“…Who said I won’t help?”
The analatial and the angka looked af

“…Who said I won’t help?”
The cockatiel and the snake looked at me.
Facing the cockatiel’s shock, I spoke.
“I’ll stay and help you.”
The room suddenly felt too damn hot.
Back when I was working, it’s not like I never
encountered pets in heat.
But somehow, as the thick, white snake body
started coiling around my arm, my cheeks
flared.
“I… can turn into a human,” the snake
murmured.
“No!” I blurted. “It’s fine… like this.”
I changed the subject.

“So… why did you take my clothes?”
“…Your scent… makes it better.”
As he spoke, he coiled around my wrist, his
sharp teeth pressing lightly against the bone.
He looked straight at me.

unnerving, deep crimson.
They say the peak of love is hunger.
His eyes looked like he wanted to devour me.
I shivered, moving a little too much.
His teeth pierced my skin.
A sharp sting.
“…Sorry.”

His voice was hoarse.
He released my wrist, licking the wound.
It tickled.
I tried to pull away, but he wound around me
tighter, pinning me.
The room got hotter.
The snake started telling me what to do,
making me blush furiously.
Afterward, I couldn’t meet his eyes.
“…I’m gonna wash my hands. You rest.”
I splashed cold water on my face.
When I returned, there was a pool of blood on
the floor.

“Did you get hurt?”
I rushed to the snake’s side.
There was a raw wound on his body, glistening
red.
Blood dripped, but he didn’t flinch.
He flicked his tail towards something on the
table.
A shimmering, white scale.
Ripped right off his body.
“You once said my scales were pretty. Here.”
