Chapter 16
.
The game screen from the race I'd been eliminated from long ago was still on.
It was going to be the game Neria played again in a little while anyway, so there was no need to tidy it up.
The kart automatically driving along the track after the race had ended looked utterly carefree, and beside it was a two-digit ranking I'd never seen before today.

As a result, we were naturally in front of the TV with its lively BGM playing.
Unlike me, who was still sitting on the bed, Neria shifted her posture slightly.
"…Huh. I didn't notice when it was touching my butt, but seeing it like this, it's really obvious, isn't it?"
"…Yes, ma'am."
"This bluntly protruding part here. That's the man's thing, right?"
"That's right…."
"Maybe because I have a rough idea of what it's supposed to look like. It's strangely gross in this state, too…."
She sat directly on the bedroom floor rather than the bed.
She even sat in the comfortable position commonly called sitting cross-legged, and was now inspecting this lowly servant's crotch.
…Since witches sometimes unconsciously look down on humans, I thought she'd dislike being at a height that made me look like some 'underling.'
Apparently, she wasn't particularly interested in that sort of empty formalism.
Or maybe I was just being gloomy enough to think all this over something as trivial as eye level.
"So what do we start with now?"
"Um, I suppose it would be best to start by taking my penis… out."
"Who? Me?"
"Yes."
"…You immediately start saying insolent things just because I said I'd humor you. Fine. I'll do it."
"S-sorry. I just…."
"Too late. I'm doing it."
Hmph. Neria exhaled and moved a little closer, grabbing my pants.
There was some trouble at first because she'd never seen this kind of belt before, but fortunately, that was resolved quickly. Once she knew which button to press, it wasn't difficult at all.
Undoing the button on my pants and lowering the zipper went smoothly after that.
When we reached the question of whether I should take my pants off completely, Neria, who had been thinking hard, said,
"A man's butt touching my bed feels disgusting."
"…I understand perfectly now."
In the end, Neria awkwardly began tugging down the underwear visible beneath my pants.
Judging solely by her attitude, she was oddly cute.
But I didn't have the nerve to say that to Neria outright.
"…Hey, Nam Dowon. This is the tip of the penis, right? Ah, or should I call it the base rather than the tip?"
"That's right. The base. The rest has shifted toward my thigh right now…."
"……Ugh, actually touching it, it really is hard…."
"…Yes. Now you should grab it and pull it out, more or less."
"Ueh, uh, ah, ugh……."
"And since it's erect and hard right now, you should apply a little more pressure rather than just tap it…."
"I know! Just wait a minute…. It feels almost like touching a bug…."
"……."
A bug…? Wasn't that a little much?
It hurt a little, but it wasn't a big deal.
Since this was Neria's first time doing anything like this, it would be best to give her enough time to get used to it.
Even feeling like a ball of yarn in front of a cat was bearable.
"Why does it get this hard?"
"It's because the blood rushes there…. That's what I understand, more or less."
"That's why it's even creepier…. Besides, isn't this a vein? The thing bulging out all lumpy?"
"…It probably is."
"…How is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I press the vein with my finger like this, do you feel anything?"
"…I don't know. All I feel is that Neria-nim is pressing it…."
"Aha…. You don't feel like the blood is getting blocked…?"
Neria blinked her pale-blue eyes as she asked her question.
After answering the curious apprentice witch's question as best I could, I scratched the back of my neck.
Come to think of it, I don't think I'd ever had conversations like this with the girlfriends I'd dated before.
What had I talked about with them again?
…Hadn't we all just talked about size?
I think we'd only talked about simple things, instead of innocent things like this with Neria.
Then again, I'd only ever told my girlfriends that their breasts were big.
It wasn't all that different, though.
"…Whoa, look. How is a girl supposed to take something this thick?!"
"…It does go in somehow."
"Ugh, right. I phrased that wrong. It would go in, but how could it not hurt? Even just the base is barely something you can grip with my thumb and middle finger."
Neria then showed me the fingers she'd shaped into a ring in front of my eyes, and slipped a finger from her other hand through the opening.
As an added result of her experiment, she remarked that at this thickness, not only three fingers but even four could fit easily.
Then she traced downward along the thigh hidden by my pants, poking at where the tip of my penis ought to be as she continued.
"Besides, the length is a problem, too. At this size, it has to be at least one handspan of mine, doesn't it? If I measure it like this…, …what? It's much longer than a handspan…."
"That shouldn't matter. Even if it does feel like too much, you simply don't have to put it all the way in."
"But whether you put it all the way in or not, in novels and videos alike, men always try to push it in all the way to the base, don't they?"
"For most people, it doesn't really make a difference."
"Hmm."
No way.
It would definitely hurt.
Muttering words filled with disbelief, Neria stole a glance down at her lower abdomen.
…Judging by the way she was fumbling around with her hand, she was probably trying to estimate how far it would go in if we had sex.
The way she tilted her head probably meant she still couldn't understand it.
"Then I guess I'm not part of the 'most.' How could all of this fit?"
"…Who knows?"
"Could it look bigger because it's hidden in your pants? Let me measure its exact size first…."
"…Ah, I'll help you…."
With a sudden grab, Neria, now somewhat accustomed to my penis, boldly seized its base.
She'd been so bold that I was even a little flustered this time, but apparently Neria's thirst for knowledge didn't end there.
With a puzzled look in her eyes, she soon managed to pull my penis completely out of my pants.
"……."
To add a few more modifiers,
because of you, Neria,
the penis I'd gotten hard with a 'come what may' attitude.
"…Seeing it like this, it's even creepier."
"…I'm sorry."
"You've got to be kidding. Your voice doesn't sound sorry at all, no matter how I look at it…? You just have a head full of dirty thoughts, don't you?"
"……I'm sorry."
"Hey, lowering your voice by another pitch doesn't make you sound any more sincere, you know…? Haaah…. Seriously……."
Actually, a few cheap jokes had been rolling around on my tongue.
They were jokes that had come to mind before I knew it, since I felt I'd grown a little closer to Neria over the past few days.
That Neria-nim was so beautiful, it couldn't be helped.
That it was fortunate I was such a well-behaved man; another man would've had trouble even sitting still.
Those sorts of jokes.
However, I didn't think this was the time for jokes.
To get through this without incident, I had to roll over and expose my belly in submission to her.
Thus, when I added just one more apology, Neria sighed, lightly touching her forehead as though she had a headache.
When I gave her an awkward look, Neria didn't argue about it any further, either.
Instead, she merely gazed at the penis right in front of her with innocent pale-blue eyes.
"…All of this goes in? Seriously?"
"In my experience, that's how it is. And in my opinion, it's not even particularly large…."
If I had to classify it, wouldn't 'slightly above average' be about right?
I gave a wry smile and followed Neria's gaze down between my legs.
…Perhaps she was fascinated by the male organ she was seeing for the first time, because Neria was still opening and closing her hand as she measured its length.
"Neria-nim, shouldn't we move on to the next step soon…."
"The next… Ah, you mean that thing where you fearlessly sold out my master earlier?"
"Um…, …yes. That."
"It's irritating, but…. Fine. I heard that when a reproductive organ gets like this, it becomes quite uncomfortable."
"……."
"Where else would you find a witch who treats a human this well? Right?"
"…There's only you, Neria-nim."
"Ahem."
Neria smiled faintly, apparently enjoying having me grovel before her.
Then she moved a little closer and reached out her small, snow-white hand to take hold of my penis.
She even marveled that it felt warm rather than hot.
Whether it was because it felt like touching a bug, as she'd just said, or because she was being considerate in case I was in pain, she was applying almost no force yet.
"Is it enough to stroke it like this? That's what I know, anyway."
"That's right. Just slide your hand up and down…."
"Like this?"
Even now, it was the same.
Rather than stroking with pressure, it was barely more than a brushing sensation.
That made me wonder whether she was doing it the way I had stimulated Neria's nipples.
…Since it had felt good to her, she probably thought it would feel good to me, too.
It couldn't be helped; she was a girl with no experience.
"…I'd like you to grip it a little more firmly than that, though…."
"Ah~ Like when you pinched my nipple earlier?"
"N-not quite that much. Just squeeze it firmly, with a little force…."
"Hmm…. …Something like this?"
But Neria soon gripped my penis in a way that felt pretty good.
It wasn't enough to give her a hundred points right away, but considering it was her first time, she easily deserved a ninety.
Besides, she wasn't exactly a girl favorably disposed toward sex, either.
Even so, this much was definitely worth praising.
"……."
"……."
But that didn't mean I could pat a witch on the head.
I spent a little while quietly enjoying Neria's handjob.
Neria, awkwardly moving her hand while alternating her gaze between my eyes and my penis, moved like that for a few seconds before coming to a stop.
"…Um, now that I'm actually doing it, this is so embarrassing…."
…Because she was touching a member of the opposite sex for the first time in her life.
"You would feel that way, Neria-nim. You've worked hard. After all, it might be better if I just masturbate alone……."
We should stop this. It's a little early. We can say I got lucky and had a good experience, right?
Having reached that conclusion, I smiled as gently as possible and touched Neria's hand.
Because she was still gripping my penis despite saying she was embarrassed.
I did it intending to get her to remove her hand first.
"What are you talking about? I said I was embarrassed, not that I was going to stop here, did I?"
"That…."
But contrary to expectations, Neria merely slapped my hand away decisively.
"…Still, it's surprising that you were trying to stop. I see you in a new light."
…Probably for the first time.
As she gave me a favorable assessment.
