Chapter 32 by Gambio

Next Episode: 2th March

Dahlia’s Date Day (Daring)

One thing was sure, Ashley Pompadour thought once he made it to the end of the first round of Domestic Affairs.

He really drew the short end of the stick.

Turns out you don’t have to have a demented midget as host. You don’t have to have a harem of near murderous psychopaths.

Apparently, if you get lucky enough, you can end up in something called “a light season”, were the aim is to create a wholesome harem in which everyone is happy.

...

Dick, you lucky son of a bitch! I hope you get Hemorrhoids!

Well, sour grapes aside, Ashley definitely learned something.

The bad news was that the punishment for not obtaining 10 Victory Points appears to indeed entail elimination. At least if Ora was using that season as inspiration.

The good news was that that season also provided him with a very obvious solution for his predicament.

Even though Ashley doubted that Dahlia will like it.

GROOOOOOOWL!

His stomach protested loudly.

No surprise there really, given that he had eaten absolutely nothing since breakfast.

...

How late was it even?

A quick glance towards the large clock revealed that it was already close to eight.

…

WHAT!

How the hell could he screw up that badly! The master near toppled over his couch as he rushed towards the entrance.

Only for that door to be pushed open right in front of his nose.

In stumbled Dahlia.

She was no longer wearing her secretary outfit, rather sporting a shirt and a pair of very comfy looking shorts and a blue sports bra.

“Hey Ash!”, she greeted him with a big, energetic smile. “Sorry for being late! I brought Pizza!”

…

Bring the master food +0.5 VP

First time Bonus! +0.5VP

“MMMMMHHHH! TISH ISH SHO GOOOD!”

Ashley was a bit taken aback, to say the least.

There she was, his childhood friend Dahlia.

Stuffing her face with multiple slices of pizza at once.

“Eat up”, she demanded(mouth full)

“R-right…”

He tried a slice of salami pizza.

She definitely wasn’t kidding. This pizza was amazing. The crust was extremely fluffy and the salami paired nicely together with the cheese.

But, to be fair. He was very hungry and had one hell of an appetite. It was hard to say if he acted any different if he was served a microwave pizza instead.

And speaking of appetite…

Ashley stole a glance at Dahlia who still happily devoured the pizza in front of her. Her clothes were very...revealing.

Dahlia caught him staring and smirked. “Do you like what you see?”

Ashley was(predictably) reduced to stuttering.

Sports bra(blue): 200 BP

sexy sportsbra, perfect for showing off your assets and working out

short shorts(pink): 300 BP

a lot comfier then they look

Hold on, this was no time to be eating and ogling! He has to tell Dahlia what he learned!

One frantic round of exposition later.

“Ah, got it.”

That was all Dahlia said before she continued finishing off her second pizza.

“Uh..Dahlia? You understand how serious this is, right?”

“Uhu.”

Dahlia grabbed her cherry juice and downed the remainder in one gulp. “Hah! That hits the spot!”

She then let her gaze wander outside to the snowy night sky. “Man, it looked pretty drab during the day, but eating pizza while riding a fancy train over a fancy mountain. This is the life!”

“Uh...technically this is a Gondola.”

Dahlia looked at Ashley and giggled. “Ok, nerd!”

Seeing his confused look did cause Dahlia to finally calm down a bit. “Ash, I’m sorry. About earlier.”

“N-No!”Ashley immediately shook his head. “You don’t have anything to apologize for!”

"Hey! I brought pizza to make up for it!”, the busty brunette grinned and flipped open Pizza number three. This one had ham and mushrooms. “So, for tonight, I like to just forget what happened earlier and do a complete redo. If that’s ok with you.”

“S-Sure…”

Dahlia was acting weird again.

But in a strange way,

This was the Dahlia he always remembered.

Finishing pizza number three in record time, Dahlia took a large gulp from her beverage and allowed herself a bit time to digest. “Phew. Now, let’s talk about our current situation. What’s your plan?”

The master blushed. Put on the spot like this he needed to gather his nerves again.

“R-right. You need to get 10 VP. And with only two chances that sounds impossible. That’s only with me however. If we invite another girl into the suite you can gain points of her.”

…

Dahlia gave him a look. “Uh...Ash?”

“Yes, I know how it sounds”, Ashley held up his hands in defense. “But it really is the only way. The PVP limit means you only get two points opportunities with me. I alone won’t be enough to get you through. I’m not saying you need to do anything too crazy with a girl but…”

“No...that’s not it Ash it’s just…”, Dahlia cleared her throat and pointed out the window. “We are kinda...already moving.”

…

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

What the fuck is wrong with him? Was he stupid or something? How could he have fucked up this badly!

Ash cradled his head in abject despair.

“It’s fine!”, Dahlia tried to calm her date down. “If it’s any consolation...I think bringing another contestant in here would have not only been unnecessary but also detrimental.”

That was a weird thing to say. Ashley looked up at his friend with a confused expression.

“Before I explain, I need you to clarify something: Did you have sex with de Sade yesterday?”

The master nearly choked on his drink “W-what?”

“Please answer the question”, Dahlia prodded, gently but firmly.

“O-of course not! I would never!”, he answered promptly before clearing his throat. “W-well...we did some stuff but then...the chastity belt got activated.”

“I see”, Dahlia smiled smugly. “Then it’s really not an issue.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because, de Sade had over 60 Points at breakfast today.”

“W-WHAT!”

Dahlia began nibbling on another slice of pizza. “Pretty crazy, right? She must have bought something that eliminated her PVP limit, but even so. If she managed to get that many points without any actual sexual intercourse, then I think it’s pretty safe to say that actual sex will be worth a lot. Especially with a first time bonus.

Ashley felt heath rising. Sex was indeed worth a lot, at least in Dick’s season. But of course that also meant, well, sex.

“Ash...just you know for tonight, I won’t **** you to do anything that you aren’t comfortable with.”

“T-that...shouldn’t that be my line?”

Dahlia gave him a challenging smirk. “Maybe?”

“A-at any rate”, Ashley attempted to regain his composure. “This is still all conjecture. De Sade might have brought something that increased her points gain and she had also received that double points transformation.”

“True”, Dahlia conceded. “But don’t forget that I’m the manager. I should earn some extra passive points that way as well.”

“P-probably.”

He didn’t imagine Sahara or Megan having a particularly good time today. So that should be at least two points guaranteed that way.

“Earning these ten points tonight won’t be a problem”, Dahlia assured him. “Which brings me to my second issue. Getting too many victory points isn’t in anyone’s interest.”

The master furrowed his brow “You mean because you become a target for the other girls?”

“That too. But that’s not my primary concern. You have noticed that there is a pot where excess points go to, right?”

Ashley nodded. He remembered that back when the zero sum system was introduced.

“This morning the pot was at minus 6.75 points”

“Ah.”

Dahlia continued. “I think it’s a pretty safe bet that these points will have to be reimbursed one way or another.”

“Probably during the challenge”, Ashley suggested. “That would be appropriately dramatic.”

His date nodded “In other words, the more points we gain, the more dangerous the challenge will become. I’m fairly decent with points already. There is no reason to getting much more.”

Of course, having a lot of points would ensure your safety But what does that mean for people like Liz or Sahara who are in the negative? They would be in deep trouble if the pot becomes too big.

“We don’t know how the point distribution will turn out but we should assume the worst case scenario. That last place will have to field 100% of the pot.”

For a few moments Ashley was at a loss for words. “Dahlia...that is...you thought about it that much?”

Dahlia smiled proudly. “Underestimate me at your own peril.”

Of course this was all just based on their limited understanding. Their fiend of a host may yet throw them a curve ball.

But the logic itself was sound.

Managing Victory Points gain and ensuring no one gains too many will minimize the risk of elimination.

“Going by this logic”, Ashley began carefully. “You think nobody should aim for the 100 points and the wish?”

Dahlia shook her head. “A wish sounds nice. But I don’t want it to come at the costs of other girls getting eliminated. I haven’t forgiven them for what they did but this...this is not justice.”

…

Where was this version of Dahlia earlier?

The question was caught in his throat, as if speaking it would make the person in front of him disappear.

“But that’s enough of this. We got some weight to burn off”, Dahlia said with a coy smile, taking a final slice of Pizza for good measure. “ So how about we’re having some...after meal exercise?”

…

Whizz!

The ball whizzed past Ashley without him having a chance to even graze it.

“Yay!”, Dahlia cheered!

It was her idea to play ping pong. Doing so in a moving gondola sounded ridiculous, but there was a table in here after all.

Just as with mini golf, Ashley could never beat Dahlia in the past, but just as with mini-golf he thought he had a good shot at it now due to her...*gulp” improved assets.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t accounted for the fact that they were just as distracting for him.

Beat the master in a game of ping pong – 1 VP

First time Bonus -1 VP

This wasn’t exactly the type of fun Ashley was expecting.

But he was happy to see Dahlia enjoying herself. It was like she was a completely different person from earlier.

“Revanche?”, she asked with a smirk. “Maybe we should make it more interesting. How about strip ping pong?”

Ashley groaned. “Do you want me to be even more distracted?”

Dahlia giggled and stuck her tongue out.

Without warning, she grabbed her sports bra and yanked it down.

“Bluah!”

Showed the master your boobs! 1 VP

(PVP limit reached, replaced earlier VP gain)

“There we go…”, Dahlia smiled, even as her face turned an alarming shade of red. “H-how’s that for a distraction?”

Ashley was barely able to take his eyes away from the glorious tits in front of him. Carol certainly had nice breasts but these somehow managed to be even bigger.

“I take that as a yes.”

A bit of an awkward silence, descended upon the two. “D-Dahlia...I just...I just want you to know I’m not expecting anything...tonight...alright?”

In return, Dahlia only smiled. “Thank you, Ash. I...I don’t want this..like this to be our first time either.”

Ashley bit his lips.

He was expecting that answer of course. But he hoped she would have said something else.

Above all else, Ashley had to ensure Dahlia would avoid elimination.

And for that, the two of them needed to have sexual intercourse.

If it came down to it...

“Ash?”

Dahlia’s voice ripped him back into reality.

She smiled. “Let’s see what else your suite has to offer.”

The next half hour or so was spent getting an extensive tour of the mobile suite. While there were quite a few things that caught Dahlia’s eye(like the Yacuzzi on the roof) the two ultimately settled on the couch in front of the massive TV.

“I...uhh...wouldn’t suggest watching their streaming service”, Ashley warned. Seriously, the thing was a landmine. You could land on a perfectly wholesome season or one that featured dead children. There are a surprisingly large number of those.

“Yeah, not exactly ideal background noise to get in the mood, huh?”, Dahlia teased and popped a popcorn into her mouth.

“T-that wasn’t what I...”

With a grin, Dahlia flipped from the Streaming service to what was the live channels.

“Oh..hold on a minute those…”

Ashley braced himself for more explicit penguins but instead they were presented with what looked like a life feed from a bedroom. In it, Kikki was sitting on her bed, playing with some stuffed animals.

“Do you think, Big Bro will marry me, Mr. Flufflebottom?”

“Oh yes, absolutely Princess Kikki!”

“Yay!”

“And the day after tomorrow he will insert his huge, massive schlong into your tiny moist…”

CLICK!

Dahlia quickly switched channels.

The next one showed an empty office. A large text was plastered on the screen.

YOU MISSED A SEX SCENE!(LESBIAN, ORAL, DOMINANT) WATCH REPLAY?

Dahlia looked at Ashley.

And slowly popped a corn into her mouth.

“W-what?”

“Wanna watch?”

“….buh?”

Then she burst out laughing and switched channels again.

The next room was empty, too. And quite familiar to Dahlia.

“S-so, you have access to all our rooms, huh?”, the brunette asked with a slight blush.

“I...I wasn’t planning on actually using it...just...uh...by accident…”

“Right”, Dahlia gave Ashley an accusatory glance. “You know, I did gain some mysterious points. These wouldn’t happen because you were perving on me last night?”

“O-of course not!”

Dahlia sighed theatrically before that mischievous smile appeared on her face again and she flipped channels again.

Sure enough, it seemed they had access to all the different bedrooms and then some. Next they found Shizu smoking while taking a bath. Dahlia very quickly switched that one and landed on what looked like Megan and Carol’s room. Although it was empty too.

“I wonder if we could use that to spy on de Sade”, Dahlia mused.

Oh!

Ashley couldn’t believe he never actually considered that. This could be a huge advantage!

A few more channel flips followed and they eventually landed on a picture of complete misery.

In a dank, small and dirty cell two girls were huddled together and shivering pitifully.

It was easy enough to recognize the two. There were only two blondes in his harem after all.

“I...I didn’t think they got it that bad”, Ashley blurted out. He expected them to have dismal sleeping quarters but this was inhuman.

“Yeah...”, Dahlia agreed, playing a bit with her remote. “I don’t think our host would actually injure the contestant though. So this is probably just really uncomfortable for them.”

Ashley was definitely concerned about Sahara having to share a room with Liz, giving the bullies propriety towards ****. Amazingly though the two seemed to work together to share body heat. It was kinda heartwarming really.

…

Actually…

Upon closer inspection…

They were doing a lot more than just sharing body heat!

“Oh, wow”, Dahlia’s eyes were glued to the screen. “Someone’s getting lucky tonight.”

Well, Sahara was at least. The rich blonde girl was letting her hands wander all around Liz’s body, while the latter seemed more annoyed than anything.

"Oi, you're about bloody done with this?”

“Y-you know I can’t control myself!”

Oh, someone must have ordered Sahara to do this. Seriously, that’s not ok.

Even if it is very hot.

“Someone’s enjoying himself.”

Dahlia’s teasing once again snapped Ashley back to reality.

“I-I’m not…”

“No?”, Dahlia’s smile just got a little wider. “Nothing wrong with it, you know. They have bullied you mercilessly. Least they can do is give you a little show to make up for it.”

...

Then Dahlia spotted a small message in the corner of the screen that said “Modifications”

“Huh, I don’t think that was present for the other channels…”

Checking the remote there was indeed a button that was now glowing. Dahlia pushed it.

The screen changed immediately

**** Holding accommodations:

Regular Cell(current)

Luxury Cell

Cage

punishment area’s

**** Chamber

**** Arena

Erotic Labyrinth

Options:

Speaker: on/off

Body control function: Sahara Marvelous on/off

Body control function: Liz Sinclair on/off

Show advanced options?

“What the?”

Dahlia picked Luxury Cell and a small pop up popped up in the corner of the feed. This one showed a more modern cell with proper beds and actual sanitation. Calling it luxury was a huge stretch, but it was no doubt a massive upgrade.

Would you like to change accommodations? yes/no

“This is amazing!”, Ashley shouted excitedly. “We can give them a better room!”

“Now, now, let’s not be too hasty.”

Dahlia clicked on no.

“Dahlia?”

Instead of responding, Dahlia quickly picked cages. It was what you would expect from the name. Two steel cages, just barely large enough to fit an animal in. Or well…

“You’re not planning to actually put them in there, right?”, Ashley asked.

“Just browsing”, Dahlia responded and clicked on **** chamber next. This option brought up an entire submenu with a vast array of options.

Now fueled by morbid curiosity, the two spend the next few minutes exploring. And the longer it went on, the harder Ashley’s dick went.

It did not escape Dahlia’s notice.

“Ash…”, she began, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Should we have a little fun?”
