It had been a long, grueling week. So when Hana Uzaki suggested blowing off steam at the mall's new VR arcade, you said yes before she even finished the sentence.

She was your teasing senpai, after all—always dragging you into some kind of nonsense. But today felt different. No banter, no challenges. Just her, in a cute white long-sleeve tucked into a blue jean skirt, black stockings hugging her thighs like they were sculpted from soft thunder. You were too tired to question it.

That is, until she said, “Bet you can’t last five minutes in the Sheep Survival VR Gauntlet,” and shoved the headset on your head with a smug grin.

Everything went dark… then neon.

Your senses lit up inside the simulation. Fuzzy shapes bolted past. The environment shimmered like a fever dream of electric farmland. You spun, lost in the motion, one hand out for balance.

Then your palm landed on something soft. Cushioned. Firm—but yielding. Wide.

*“Whoa…” you murmured. “They really upped the haptics on this thing.”

Your hands settled instinctively. Both of them. Around the soft, unmistakable curve of hips that—somehow—felt too real.

You gave a slow, experimental squeeze.

A tiny squeal hit your ears—high, startled, and very human.

“Hmm?” you asked, still holding the soft curves. ”Did the game just make a sound effect?”

“N-nothing!” Hana’s voice replied—tight, flustered, right next to you. Suspiciously close.

You furrowed your brow. ”Weird. This VR is crazy realistic…”

You gave another slow squeeze, more deliberate this time.

“Eep!”

“What…..Was that…?”

“I said it’s fine!” Hana cut in, her voice a full octave higher. “Totally part of the experience! Yep. Ultra… hip-feedback mode. New feature.”

“…Hip-feedback mode?”

*“Yup,” she squeaked. ”Very advanced. Cutting-edge sheep tech.”

You were too deep to question it now. Your thumbs brushed over the sides of her skirt, marveling at the warm, real texture. “Honestly? These hips feel amazing. Kind of… pillowy. And firm.”

Hana’s breath hitched.

“Y-you think so?” she asked, voice small, almost swallowed by the arcade noise.

“Nothing!! Game stuff! VR immersion! Keep herding those sheep!”
