Don't hug me I'm scared

“So, umm...you guys received an uhh...Accolade…”

Dahlia did not look happy when they finally converged back down to the dining table. And that mention certainly did nothing to placate her.

“Eh? An Accolade? What’s that, Big Bro?”, Kikki asked with an innocent, curious smile that looked even cuter due to the fact that she was dressed in a fluffy bathrobe. Well, they all are for that matter. Luckily, Dahlia’s breasts had returned to only gigantic, so they had one that fit her as well.

Ashley only hoped they will remain that way.

With the way she was glaring at him, that was not very likely.

“Uh...you know what? Don’t worry about it.”

Ashley hastily approved the points for the girls

SPECIAL ACCOLADE:

SPANKING PLAY: 3 VP(Dahlia, Kikki)

APPROVED!

“Now then, the matter of your job”, Dahlia said with icy courtesy.

Kikki’s smile turned towards its more sly variation.

“I’m looking forward to what you’re thinking, Big Sis! I just helped you lots so I should receive a super nice job as a reward.”

“H-helped me? You did absolutely not help me!”, Dahlia thundered. “This was all your fault from the start!”

“Eh? That’s not a nice thing to say after I just saved your butt.”

“You!”

“E-everyone please, I like to make a proposal!”

Both pairs of eyes landed on Ashley.

Ashley took a deep breath and steeled himself. “Dahlia, why don’t you assign Kikki to spank you?”

Surprisingly for once both girls showed the same expression of wide eyed surprise.

“A-ASH! YOU CAN’T BE…”

“Dahlia!”, for the first time since she received that punishment transformation, Ashley allowed himself to raise his voice with his childhood friend. It appears it was forceful enough to actual did the trick so the master continued.

“I was going along with you all day today, but this can’t continue. You nearly injured yourself or worse!”

“B-But that was her fault!”, Dahlia sputtered. Kikki responded by sticking her tongue out.

“To a degree yes”, Ashley conceded, now addressing his sister. “Kikki, I expect to conduct yourself in a more mature fashion. You know that Dahlia is going through a lot. Don’t agitate her on purpose. I will let today slide but from now on such actions will have consequences.”

Kikki made a sad face and drooped her ears. “Ok, Big Bro. I will try to be a good girl from now on. I’m sorry Big Sis. Please forgive me for making your big boobies grow even bigger.”

It didn’t sound particularly sincere, but the master nodded. “And Dahlia, this goes both ways. Your transformation is a weakness and some contestants will attempt to exploit it. You have to learn to remain calm in such instances. And until you can do so you need additional assistance. Kikki can do that for you.”

In response to that, the busty brunette took a deep breath. “Ash...I already told you, I will nott allow myself to get between you and your revenge.”

“Kikki is different”, Ashley interjected. “I have no intention of getting revenge on her.”

His friend was not happy to hear that. “She is not different. She may have tricked you just like Shizu but none of these girls are on your side. I’m the only one here that you can trust.”

“Umm, I’m right here, you know”, Kikki pouted. “And you know, shouldn’t you ask me first, If I even want to do this?”

Cursed Luckstone: Ability check: Failure!

“This is not up for debate with you”, Ashley responded harshly. “You caused a lot of trouble for Dahlia today. This will be your way of making amends. Consider yourself lucky that your punishment will be as light as this.”

This somewhat contradicted what he said earlier, but Kikki was the only one who seemingly picked up on that. Looks like this stone can even alter perceived reality. Fun!

“Eeeh, but don’t you think you're overreacting a bit? I was just having a bit of fun.”

Cursed Luckstone: Ability check: Invalid

Ok, using the Luckstone to override a previous failed check is not possible. Good to know.

Before her big Bro could explode at her, Kikki showed her most disarming smile. “Ehehehe! Ok, ok, I get it. I’m not totally opposed to spanking her, you know. But my shift is two hours long. Isn’t that a lot just for spanking?”

“I actually don’t think so”, Ashley resplied. “You don’t need to do it all in one go either. If you divide it into three sessions, at morning, lunch and dinner…”

“Oh come on, Ash! This is ridiculous¨” The brunette groaned exasperated, which immediately send her breasts jiggling again.

Ashley fixated her with a stare. “Dahlia, you need this. It doesn’t have to be Kikki. Sahara and Shizuka both volunteered. But Kikki seemed to have a real knack for it.”

His sister responded to that with a giggle. “Big Bro, that’s not something you wanna say to a girl, geez.”

The master flushed and cleared his throat. “W-well...yeah...maybe but I don’t think I’m completely wrong either. Please, Dahlia. Don’t make this any harder than it already is.”

Dahlia sighed. Long and deeply. Even that action seemed to increase her chest. “Fine, I do it.”

“Eh, one more issue”, Kikki bobbed her head. “There’s that penalty for using violence. I don’t want to lose lots of points just for spanking Big Sis.”

Oh,

Another thing that slipped Ashley’s notice.

Quite frankly, it didn’t feel like that penalty did much good in the first place, so he wondered if he could just get rid of it.

POP!

“YES!”

“Bwuah!”

Ora had manifested herself directly on the table.

Wearing a penguin onesie.

“You wanna get rid of the 0.5 violence penalty, do I hear you correctly?”, the manic penguin asked.

“Uh...I guess…”

“OK DONE! NO TAKE BACKSIES”

UNPOP

And just like that the little host vanished again.

That was weird.

“Awesome!”, Kikki clapped her hands. “Then there is just one small matter left!”

Ashley cocked his head. “What do you mean, Kikki?”

The half-imp smiled at Dahlia. “I’d like for Big Sis to formally ask for my help.”

The manager sputtered. “I...I already said I do it!”

“Do what?”, Kikki asked with the same smile.

“G-give you the job.”

“Eeeh….what job?”

“Kikki”, Ashley admonished. “I told you, this is supposed to be a punishment for you.”

But Kikki only shook her head. “Proper communication is important in a healthy relationship, Big Bro! It’s only that way that we can avoid misunderstandings. If you want to ask a favor you need to do so clearly and directly.”

Ok, let’s give this a whirl.

Cursed Luckstone: Ability check: Success!

Ashley winced. Nothing that Kikki said was inherently wrong. And it was true that Dahlia making a formal request would go a long way in showing her good faith as well.

He looked at his friend and gave a small nod.

Dahlia meanwhile was flushing again. “A-alright, I...like you to spank me…”

Kikki sighed and shook her head once more. “You can say that much more clearly, Big Sis! And if you are asking someone for a favor the first words out of your mouth should be: Kikki, I would like your help with...”

The brunette was trembling with humiliation. “Kikki, I would like your help with.”

“With what?”

“with...ugh...giving me a spanking.”

“Spankings, Plural.” The half imp corrected. “And why do you need to get spanked?”

“t-to...reduce the size of my c-chest.”

“To make your big boobies smaller.”

“...to….make my big boobies smaller.”

“Very good!”, Kikki clapped her hands. “And now all together. Loud and proudly. And look me in the eyes. Eye contact is important when you ask for a favor.”

Dahlia took another deep breath. “Kikki, I would like your help with giving me a spanking to make my big boobies smaller.”

“Sure!”, Kikki responded with a big smile. “I’d love to help you, Big Sis!”

Ashley could only sigh. If this keeps up, two hours will be nowhere near enough to keep Dahlia’s breast small.

…

..

.

Carol Summers was in her new lodgings.

Alone.

This was for all intents and purposes just a regular hotel-room but compared to her prior accommodations it was pure luxury. But regardless of that, Carol felt anything but luxurious.

She will spend her nights with Peshkova from now on or well, from the day after tomorrow.

The thought sent a queasy pit through her stomach. It all fit in a bit too neatly. Too perfect.

Her teeth had begun to ache again. Subtle. A 1 on the scale.

The provided relief lasted exactly 24 hours. She would have another 24 hours before the pain reaches a problematic level.

In other words, she would have to suck Pompadour’s dick once every 48 hours.

…

The thought revolted her a lot less than she thought it would.

If sucking Pompadour's dick every two days was enough to deliver her from this inescapable dread she would gladly make that trade.

But matters are not so simple. She had exactly until the day after tomorrow to make a decision.

Continue serving Mistress de Sade…

or disobedience.

The fact that she actually was provided time to mull it over only made it worse.

She agonized over it.

Ever since she left her mistress quarters she did. It was a choice of such monumental consequences that Carol felt herself drowning just thinking about it.

The whole decision revolved around one aspect.

How powerful was Mistress de Sade truly?

At first, Carol had not a single doubt in her mind.

Her Mistress was omnipotent.

A Higher being whose victory was as assured as was the rising of the sun.

She had good cause to think so. The things she showed her, the truths she revealed. Purely logically this game’s conclusion seemed foregone.

But then, the cracks appeared.

Subtle, easy to ignore at first.

The result of the mini-challenge however could not be ignored. There was no question about it.

Her infallible Mistress was caught off guard.

What if it was just smokes and mirrors? What if her so-called power was nothing but a cheap parlor trick?

If her Mistress was fallible, then going along with her plan might as well doom her.

If so, working together with Pompadour would be the wiser course of action.

But this line of thinking was too shallow!

This could be a test. A test from her Mistress to gauge her devotion.

And if she fails that test.

“Urp…”

Carol rushed to the room's private bathroom just in time to vomit.

Her whole body shivered as Carol was suffering through yet another panic attack.

Somebody, anybody…

Tell me what to do.

Carol would not find sleep tonight.

…

..

.

The rest of the allocated time until eleven passed akin to something that could almost be called peaceful.

Kikki was eager to get a tour of the mobile suite and after that they spend the time on the couch, first by checking in on how Megan and Liz were doing(they were asleep, cuddling, well clearly not voluntary on Megan’s part, but cuddling was cuddling)

Kikki suggested checking in on the other girls as well to make sure they weren’t doing anything naughty, which was a rare case when Dahlia and her were in agreement but Ashley decided that such behavior was pretty creepy and nothing good would come out of it.

Cursed Luckstone: Ability check: Failure!

Ultimately, they just ended up watching a movie. (Happy Feet)

...

“Alright, I take the manager back to the castle then”, Cherry announced.

The pink maid had an uncanny ability to pop up at a moment's notice. Well, her boss could do that too,but she at least makes a big show about it. Cherry just suddenly stands behind you and tells you that dinner is served.

Anyways, they were all called to the roof. Ashley couldn’t help but notice that a new blonde maid was also present. He was pretty sure he never saw her before. Another human in this mad house would have definitely caught his attention.

Cherry, who noticed the master's interest, showed a smile and patted her colleague on the shoulder. “Ah, this is just the new hire. Who knows? Maybe Magi will join your harem one of these days.”,

Magi cringed and blushed at that. She was pretty cute, Ashley had to admit, but the last thing he needed was more girls to look after.

“How exactly are you planning to take me back to the castle?”, Dahlia asked, not without a tinge of nervousness in her voice.

Cherry’s smile widened.

It gave Ashley the creeps.

“Magi-chan...please transform.”

Dahlia, with great reluctance, suited herself up in the passenger seat of the yellow and pink gyrocopter, while Cherry boarded the cockpit and gave the joystick a hard yank.

It moaned.
“Ok. Looks like systems are all go. Until later then. Don’t crash the suite while I’m gone.”

Then the contraption began slowly lifting off and flying into the distance, wobbling a bit as it struggled to keep up with the strong winds.

Before long, they weren’t visible anymore.

Well, that will haunt Ashley's dreams forever.

“And that’s that”, Kikki stiffled a yawn. “Wanna turn in for the night, Big Bro? It’s freezing out here.”

“You don’t want to wait until we reach the summit?”, Ashley asked.

Kikki shook her head. “I wanna fall asleep while the train is still moving and wake up while it’s still moving!”

Ashley smiled. His sister could be surprisingly adorable when she tried.

Retreating back downstairs, Kikki wasted no time in jumping on the large bed. With her clothes thoroughly soaked she was still only wearing a bathrobe and Ashley suddenly felt very conscious about that fact.

“You should brush your teeth first.”

Kikki grinned and opened her mouth, showing off her sparkling and very white fangs.

“I already did before coming here!”

Oh...

His sister smiled at him with bright eyes. “Let’s sleep together, big bro!”

Ashley took a deep breath, and then slowly joined his sister on the bed.

The lights were dimmed in the bedroom, but it was never quite completely dark. It was the sort of darkness that allows you to see just enough to let your mind wander.

“You can touch them if you want.”

“Bwuah?”

“My horns, I mean”, Kikki added with an innocent smile. “Aren’t you curious?”

He actually was, although his concerns were more practical in nature. Was he able to sleep next to Kikki without getting skewered to death? Even her ears looked like they could gut someone.

...

Ashley gingerly touched the horns, worried a too rough handling would break them.

That fear was unfounded, he quickly realized. They were strong and powerful. The way horns on a bull would feel.

Not that he ever touched a Bull’s horns.

But they were also incredibly smooth to the touch, far beyond what he assumed an animal was capable of producing.

They had small ridges in regular intervals and at the base they fused neatly with the skin at the side of Kikki’s head, just a bit above her pointy ears.. Ashley expected to find some sort of scar tissue but no Kikki’s skin was completely unblemished.

Kikki grinned at him. “You seem to like them, Big Bro.”

“W-well, I guess they are uhh...interesting. Do you feel anything when I’m touching you?”

“Uhu...I’m….getting all waku waku and tingly…”

Ashley blushed and immediately withdrew his hand only for Kikki to giggle.

“I was joking Big Bro! They’re a bit like teeth, you would have to yank pretty hard to get a reaction.”

master touched your horns! +0.5 VP

First Time Bonus! +0.5VP

Ashley sighed.

Kikki always loved to tease him.

His sister meanwhile just grinned. “Wanna touch my ears next?”, she said, wiggling them a bit.

…

“Hey, Kikki?”

“Hm?”

“I’m sorry that things turned out like this between us. After what I did to you, you have every right to hate me.”

Kikki stared at him with big eyes. “Eh? I could never hate you, Big Bro. I love you!”

Cursed Luckstone: Ability check: Failure!

“With the way you treated me after...I find that hard to believe”, Ashley cringed and turned himself away.. “I know you’re just wearing a mask right now. You don’t have to pretend. It’s alright, I deserve it.”

Kikki first responded with nothing.

Then a soft, almost imperctible exhale.

“You always managed to see right through me.”

Her voice was deeper, the childish inflection she normally uses completely gone.

“I do know you for a long time”, Ashley responded.

His father and Kikki’s mother remarried when Kikki was just nine years old. He was twelve. It was...a difficult time for him.

“Do you know that I planned to win this game in round one?”

The casual admission gave Ashley the creeps. “You mean if you succeeded in becoming manager?”

“Yes, it would have been laughably easy to get enough points that way. Liz alone would have been worth 40 points.”

“If you did win, the four lowest ranking girls would have been eliminated.”

“I would have made sure to keep Big Sis Dahlia safe, of course. I know how much you care about her.”

“The other girls would have stopped you. I would have stopped you.”

“I have counter plans for every single one of them. As for you…”

Ashley shivered.

And suddenly he found himself embraced from behind.

hugged the master +0.5 VP

“If I wanted, I could absolutely and completely destroy you right now.”

Scared the heebie jeebies out of the master - 2 VP

“But I love you too much for that and I want to keep you just the way you are. I am a nice sister, so I even allow you to keep all your little friends.”

She gave him a peck on the cheek.

Kissed the master(cheek) +0.5 VP

First time bonus! +0.5VP

“Just as long as you remember that I own you.”

Now.

..

.

Sahara was running through Ludo Manor.

Stupid doctor, what does she know? There is nothing wrong with the way she behaves.

She is a Marvelous! An elite! Now more than anything she has to make sure these peasants and commoners know her worth.

Life is all about winning. To stand at the very top.

And never falling down.

But things weren’t going well for her.

Her points just didn’t seem to be getting up.

She still has that annoying cage around her.

And Daddy spends all his time with that stupid big breasted childhood friend of his!

That annoying woman lost the challenge but ended up with bigger breasts. How is that even a punishment?

She was leading in points too. Grrrr, this isn’t fair!

Also these heels were killing her.

Sahara finally stopped running and took a deep breath. She was sweating. This was unsightly behavior and beneath her.

She decided to take a minute and look around.

…

Where was she?

During the day this place was just weird. But at night, it was genuinely creepy. All these penguin statues staring at her…

Taking another deep breath, this time to calm her nerves she continued to wander. Eventually, Sahara came across a large window. Those were rare enough as it is, the blonde thought and she took a gander out of it.

The scenery was breathtaking.

Tall, jagged white towers rose up all around her. Snow was gently falling and in the distance she could make out these ancient, massive mountains. It was as beautiful as it was eerie

And the moon.

The moon was particularly low and white, Sahara thought.

Then the moon opened its eye.

…

...

...

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Sahara stumbled backwards and knocked her head on the beak of a golden penguin, before losing her balance and collapsing to the ground.

“Eh? The hell you’re doing here?”

The maid was here! The pink one.

Sahara’s teeth were chattering as she shakily pointed out of the window. “T-t-the m-m-mooon, eye, there’s an e-eye! Moon!”

Cherry made an annoyed face and peered out the window.

Nope, nothing but snow and mountains. The moon was there but it certainly didn’t have an eye.

“Nothing there.”, Cherry said matter of factly.

“B-b-but I saw it! A-a giant red eye! In the moon!”

The maid gave her a look, then shrugged. “Eh, maybe? This place is all kinds of fucked. Probably why you should stay in your rooms at night.”

Sahara took a deep breath to calm herself down. She was a Marvelous! She will not let something small as a living celestial object frighten her!

“I uh...believe I lost my way. Could you show me the way back to my quarters?”

The pink woman raised an eyebrow. “What? No demands this time?”

“S-silence! I was merely experimenting with a new way to encourage the lowly staff! Now, not escorting me would be most uncouth and not befitting of a maid!”

Ugh, even when she's scared shitless she's annoying.

Technically, this wasn’t Cherry’s job. Her job was getting back to the mobile suite.

Still, the girl looked ready to just about piss herself from fear.

….

With a sigh Cherry scratched her head. “Guess, I'll keep playing chaperon tonight.”

She walked towards Sahara and the blonde extended a hand to help her up

Cherry smirked.

And pulled Sahara over her shoulder instead.

“W-what are you doing!”

“I’m not wasting time walking your lazy butt. We’re taking the express route.”

“W-what do you m-mean express route?”, As Sahara saw where Cherry’s eyes where fixated, her own eyes widened. “N-No..no no! Hold on! You can’t possibly mean...”

Cherry could. With a screaming Sahara slung over her shoulder, she jumped out the window.

…

..

.

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWNNN!”

Ora let out a cute and ladylike yawn. Today was a super tiring day and so annoying!

I mean seeing the hag got hagged was cool and having the brat finally sweating was nice as well.

She even got rid of that stupid no violence rule.

But!

Sharks!

A shiver of sharks!

Ora cringed just thinking about these disgusting creatures swimming around in her manor and stinking up the place.

But that wasn’t even the worst of it.

No, she can deal with a shiver of sharks.

What she can deal with is Cherry questioning her power and alluding that the hag was stronger than her!

It nagged on her for the entire day.

Like is she stupid or something? I mean obviously, but even so Ora is not just omnipotent, she is super omnipotent!. Her divinity is past infinity!

And yet, nobody treats her like the super awesome strong Goddess she is! Don’t they realize they have to thank her for everything?

Any other omnipotent Goddess of ultra divine power would have already turned them all into sporks for their insolence. But Ora is too cool and mature for that.

The little host angrily cradled her plush penguin.

Ugh! This was so annoying! She was so ready to just call today a day.

Well, the date with the master is still ongoing but it was just his sister now, so who cares? Cherry can handle it.

Tomorrow she will have to plot her revenge on the ghost host. There wasn’t much activity on their season but that was just a plot to lull her into a false sense of security. That crafty host is probably scheming her next nefarious move right now.

But that’s a problem for future Ora. Sleepy time.

Just as Ora let herself plop down on her pillow there was a polite rapping on her chamber door.

“Mistress, I am terribly sorry to disturb your well earned rest.”

Uggghhhh….

Ora groaned. “Premingeeeeeeeeeeer...what is it?”

“We have received a letter, begging for your aid.”

The little host yawned again. “Eh? Aids? Can’t that wait until tomorrow?”

The penguin butler waddled in with a letter. “Yes, my apologies. But this pertains to the Host Joce…”

Ora snatched the letter out of Preminger’s flippers.

To Ora the Magnificent. I, Tracy Black, have received word that you wish me to undertake a mission to terrorize a menace of a ghost host with a vacuum cleaner from my host, Shar. She has briefed me on both your seasons and that of the dread Jocelyn and it would be an honor to do so. I ask only that you would in turn help me with a matter that has come to my attention, dealing with two miscreants, Marcie and Gina, whom I do believe you are familiar with. I desire your oh-so-competent aid in kidnapping said pair of miscreants for a bachelorette party. We can hash out the details later if you so agree. Sincerely, Tracy Black, engineering marvel.

“Excellent!”

The little host started cackling. “Preminger! Write back that we agree immediately!”

“Of course, my Mistress. Should we set certain conditions in regards to the treatment of the aforementioned miscreants?

“Eh, these two smug brats have complained about my season and after all I have done for them! So I don’t care what happens to them. Oh, actually hold on! Make sure to put them into Penguin costumes! Witch itching powder! That will show them to mess with me! *cackle* *cackle*”

The little host cackled giddily.

“Certainly, my mistress, And as for handling the spectral spirit...”

“I don’t care as long as some sucking is involved! Just tell that Tracy to really rock the Ghost Host’s world! I want her to suck her brains out!”

The penguin butler bowed. “Certainly, my mistress. Please pardon me for further disturbance but as it happens we have received a related letter. An invitation to a wedding.”

Ora sounded a lot less enthused about a stupid wedding but nonetheless grabbed this letter as well.

“That is the wrong side, my mistress.”

Ora yawned again and turned the letter over. “Oh...I see...ugh….The Ara-Ara Lady, is it? I don’t like her. She is always so smug like...like she knows. Bleh…and she didn’t even send me any food!”

Preminger nodded empathically. “Well put, my Mistress. Shall I decline the invitation?”

“Naaaaah, we can’t doooo that…” the little host whined and flapped backwards on the bed, flopping her legs. “I need to show these lesser seasons my awesome power, like I bet the ghost host gonna be there…oh wait nah she won’t because she got sucked up. But what if she gets sent out as a wedding gift? The Ara-Ara Lady likes paintings...”

“In that case….”

“But I don’t wanna gooooo! Ugggggghhhhhhh!!!!”

The little host groaned and buried her face into one of her plush penguins, wiggling around from side to side.

…

“You go.”

For a moment Preminger looked perplexed. “Me, my mistress?”

Ora nodded. “Yeah, just act all penguiny and stuff and make sure you represent me properly. You are a Lord so you’re good at all that fancy noble stuff.”

The penguin butler bowed deeply. “Well, if you insist, my Mistress. How could I refuse?”

Ora sleepily nodded and closed her eyes.

The penguin butler cleared his throat.

“There’s moooooooore?”

“Just a small matter in regards to a non interference waiver. If you could just sign…”

“Uggghhhhh, shut uuuuup! I’m tired! You handle it. And everything else! Don’t wake me for the next three billion years or until the Ghost Host got put into a painting. Whatever comes first.”

The penguin butler bowed. “Most certainly, my mistress. I shall see to the...ah arrangements.”

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

By the time Preminger closed the door, his Mistress had already fallen asleep. Hohoho! A wedding, is it? How exciting. He will have to make sure to find an appropriate gift for Master Cooper and his lovely brides.
