Beta reader: oh so the sexual harassment is back

As Shirogane stood off to the side, quietly minding his own business, Aoi's eyes suddenly locked onto him, her gaze sharp. She tilted her head, eyebrow raised, before muttering, "Who's that fur ball?" { beta reader: that suits him }

Shirogane winced, clearly hearing the nickname. 'Fur ball? Seriously?' His wolf ears twitched, a telltale sign of his discomfort. Slowly, almost regrettably, he turned his head, only to find that every single woman present- Aoi, Michiko, Kaede, and even Yuna... was eyeing, not him, but his fluffy wolf ears.

His heart sank. He knew that look. That unmistakable gleam of curiosity.

Panic surged through him. 'I need to run. Now.' He glanced toward the exit, his escape route. But before he could so much as step away, the women had already encircled him. Their speed was terrifying. { beta reader: not again... }

"Um...." Shirogane began, trying to think of an excuse, any excuse to get out of this. "I-"

Too late.

All four women reached out at the same time, hands extending toward his poor, defenseless ears. Shirogane's world slowed as he tried to move, but their fingers were faster. Each hand tugged gently yet firmly at his ears, and the flustered wolf boy could do nothing but stand there, his face rapidly reddening. { beta reader: this is seriously sexual harassment }

Sayako, standing beside Sukuna, burst into laughter, her voice ringing out as she clutched her stomach. "I did the exact same thing when I first met him!' She laughed even harder, practically doubled over.

Sukuna smirked, arms crossed, clearly amused as well. "Oh yeah? Same here. A year ago, I had to yank on his ears to make sure they were real." { beta reader: o_o }

At that, Shirogane's eyes shot wide open. "You didn't just yank, you almost ripped them off!"

Sukuna grinned, his sharp teeth flashing. "It was necessary."

The scene was too much. Even Queen Izayoi chuckled softly behind her hand, and Yōko, ever the composed one, was failing to hide her grin. Kenzo and Kenji were laughing so hard they could barely stand, while Saori and Heri exchanged amused, knowing looks.

Aoi, still holding onto Shirogane's ear, tilted her head and said, "Yup, definitely real." Kaede, Michiko, and Yuna nodded in agreement, as though they had all come to some great scientific conclusion.

Shirogane groaned, trying to salvage some dignity. "Are you all done yet? My ears aren't for public inspection!"

As if things couldn't get worse, Kenzo and Kenji... always ready to dive into mischief, stepped forward, their eyes gleaming with interest. "Can we touch them too?" Kenzo asked, already reaching for Shirogane's ears. { beta reader: at least they asked... still doesn't make it right though }

Shirogane's eyes widened in horror. "No! Absolutely n-"

But Kenji wasn't about to listen. He patted one of the ears before ruffling Shirogane's hair for good measure. "They're fluffier than I thought! Man, you're like a walking pillow!" { beta reader: this is exactly what's not right }
