Browsing for Social Credit

"This is good."

Liam muttered while chewing on a ham sandwich.

Under his computer desk, Marin pulled back from his penis with a loud, slurpy 'pop' and looked up and smiled.

"I'm glad that you like it. By the way, the fridge was almost empty."

"Yeah, I didn't consider much about that when I moved in... you can order whatever you need if you want."

Marin gave him a small nod before returning to her prime directive.

Slurp-slurp-slurp...

Liam let out a soft grunt when Marin swallowed his erection once more.

He had told Marin not to be too intense since he had other things to look at. He was having her suck him off more as a background thing than anything else.

Even so, Marin's mouth was warm and welcoming.

Not to mention her tonguing and suction skills were top-notch, making it difficult for him to actually focus on the computer screen.

Liam didn't want to discourage Marin from doing a good job, so he fixed his gaze on the computer screen.

Currently, he was on the main page of RealDream's shopping site.

Since he lived in a company-provided house, he had to spend at least 400 credits of the thousand he received every week.

That roughly amounted to buying a Class B~C Character every two weeks or so, so Liam was looking for a new Character to buy among some other things.

He scrolled through the list of Characters.

Some of them intrigued him, but none of them really struck his interest enough to make the purchase.

"Fuck."

Liam grunted.

Marin pulled back just in time for a streak of cum to splash on her face.

"Ah! Mmm... such a waste."

Marin quickly swiped the goo with her fingers and dropped them onto her tongue.

After swallowing it all, Marin climbed up from the table and leaned in to look at the computer screen herself.

"What's the issue? You seemed to have trouble focusing."

"Well, one of the reasons was you—good job, by the way."

Liam gave her a soft pat on the head.

"Eheheh..."

Marin blushed and squirmed on the spot, as if Liam's soft touch was one of the best things she could receive from anyone else.

"I'm trying to buy another Character to meet the spending quota, but I'm having trouble picking one."

"Really? Can I take a look as well?"

Marin tilted her head.

"Uh...sure?"

Liam blinked. He was taken aback by her reaction.

He had expected Marin to act jealous, or at least be let down—both common reactions for the first Characters when their owners brought in a second one.

It was such a famous phenomenon that there were modifications specifically aimed at avoiding that mindset.

Oblivious to her master's surprise, Marin placed her hand on Liam's hand, over the mouse, and scrolled through the list of Characters.

"Oh, hey. I'm a Class B Character as well?"

"Yeah. You're famous, but not dangerous."

"I could be dangerous!"

Marin tried to argue, but Liam shook his head and chuckled.

"No, they mean like 'I could blow up a city' or 'I could cause massive chaos throughout the city' level of dangerous.

That's when you get Class A or higher— those kinds of Characters are harder to get, so they cost more."

"Oh...like in anime."

Marin looked down at her hand and mimed shooting a sort of blast at the wall.

Of course, nothing actually happened.

"Hmph."

Marin returned to the PC with slightly puffed-up cheeks.

Liam wondered if he should get Marin one of the 'Superpower modifiers' he had seen in various advertisements, since she was being such a great Character.

'Eh, maybe later...'

Modifications apart from simple body morphing took far more credit than actually buying a Character.

Besides, Liam weren't still sure how safe was it to give such powers to a Character.

Maybe if he had some extra abilities himself... but Liam was even less sure about modifying himself than he was with Marin.

"Oooh! She seems nice."

Marin's delighted voice turned Liam's attention back to the screen.

"「Komi Shouko 」?"

"Yeah. It says here that she's a regular girl with mild social anxiety issues?"

"So you want her because she is kind of familiar to you, huh?"

Liam asked casually.

However, Marin's face turned pale.

She immediately straightened up as if she was being interrogated and looked at Liam with pleading eyes.

"N-no, master. I'm not...!

I just thought what you would like, that's all. I didn't think on my behalf alone."

"...right. You don't need to be so paranoid about that."

Liam grunted.

He had almost forgotten that Characters like Marin acting solely on their own wishes were not welcomed by prime humans.

Personally, Liam didn't mind it too much—the Characters at his parent's house seemed to be free-willed as much as possible as well.

"......"

Still, Marin went silent as she stood by Liam's side.

Liam wanted to cheer her up, but he had no idea how to do it.

So, he decided to do the next best thing that came to his mind: act like nothing happened at all.

After making the purchase, Liam gestured at Marin to go back under the table.

"Suck my cock again."

Luckily, that seemed to do the trick.

At the very least, Marin looked extremely relieved when given the order.

"Y-yes, master!"

She immediately dove back under the desk and happily licked up Liam's penis.

Liam leaned back with a relaxed sigh.

The delivery was set to arrive in an hour or two, so this would be a fine way to pass the time until then.
