Another App update!

The next morning, I woke up to find Maddie squatting on the foot of my bed, looking for all intents and purposes like the cat that ate the canary, with a grin on her face that bordered between goofy and dreamy, her tail vibrating excitedly behind her, and her hair that familiar blend of gold and pink I was coming to understand so well. I sat up, and asked "What's got you so worked up this morning?" through a yawn.

"You've got a visitor out in the living room."

I scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion. "Who the hell would be here for me this early in the morning?" as I look over and see it's only a bit after six.

"Just hurry up and come see!" Maddie replies as she hops off my bed and darts out of the room. I climb out of bed and throw on a T-shirt with Ichigo in his Hollow form on it and head out to see our mysterious visitor, only to stop dead in my tracks as I come around the corner, suddenly understanding what Maddie was so excited about

There, standing in our living room, is a near perfect recreation of the very character Maddie and I have been ogling in our show the last couple of nights. From her purple hair with gem headpiece, to the spiked shoulder pads, the black and purple cape, gloves, the boots, the random leg strap, the outfit that is little more than a bra and thong and the necklace with a skull right between her massive tits. Naga the Serpent from Slayers.

She swivels to look at me, her tits bouncing back and forth as she does. When she sees me, she lifts the back of her hand to in front of he mouth, and laughs that oh-so-iconic laugh, before saying "Ohayou, Onii-chan. I trust you slept well after the night you had," giving me a wink.

It takes my brain a second to process what's just happened, at which point all I can say is "Kurumu? What are you doing here?"

She tilts her head to the side and smirks, "What, I can't just come and visit my favorite app user? You know, you're actually getting a lot of attention back home. People are putting bets on how long you'll be able to keep up the nice guy routine."

My eyebrows raise at that, "And are you part of that pool?"

"No, because I don't think it will ever stop. Though I do have some buisness to do while I'm here. There was another app update, and I thought it would be easier to come and tell you about it in person, rather than just through a message this time. Besides," she pauses, glancing at Maddie, who is practically drooling while staring at her, "I wanted to show off my new outfit, and I thought you two would appreciate it," she finishes with a wink.

"You look good enough to eat," Maddie tells her, giving her lips a little lick.

"That was the point, imōto." She looks back over to me, "First off is a little expansion to the level system. Now punishments are affected by levels as well, though in a slightly different way. Get Maddie's profile up and I'll show you," I nod, and hurry back into my room to grab my phone. When I get back out, I load up the app and pull up Madison's profile, and Kururmu sidles up next to me and points out "See how her punishments now have a number tracker next to them?" I look, and see that, for one, Maddie's up to level 5, and her Emotive Ornaments punishment shows 5/10 next to it, while Beads of Submission shows 2/10.

"Once a girl has had a punishment for 10 levels, you are given a choice, which basically amounts to being Nice, Neutral, or Naughty. Pick 'Nice', and you can trade out the punishment for a standard customization that costs fewer gems than the punishment would be worth if you had actually paid for it, getting the difference as a one time gem payout. This also lets you adjust their own awareness for it, since it's no longer a punishment Pick 'Neutral', and the punishment is left as is, but starts to get a level benefit like other customizations. Pick 'Naughty', and the punishment gets enhanced, and you get one extra gem every day from that point on," She gives me a coy smile as she looks at me and adds "Normally, you'll need to make your decision without knowing any of the details on it, but for the sake of explaining I can give you an example. Madison's Emotive Ornamants would be worth 10 gems if you were 'Nice,' so you'd get another customization worth 10 or fewer. and get the difference as a payout. If you pick 'Neutral,' it would gain a level benefit of increasing amounts of pleasure from having her hair stroked and played with. And if you picked 'Naughty,' then her hair style would change along with the colors, plus you'd get an extra gem in your daily payout."

I look at Madison, and see her eyes sparkling. "That sounds fun! Are we talking normal styles, or impossible, anime-like ones?" she asks.

Kurumu just gives her a 'really?' look, and says "What do you think?" Maddie giggles at that.

Kurumu looks back at my phone and points at it, "Now head over to your own profile." I didn't even realize I had one on here, though it makes sense. I navigate over to it, and she points to a section on the side "This area here is for Personal Customizations. You can't buy these, you have to unlock them, though they can randomly show up in a Lewd Box. Oh, and you can only have up to three set at a time, but you can trade them out whenever you want. We've given you one for free, go ahead and set it," I tap the section she indicated and see Stamina Up: Users sexual stamina is greatly increased, and refractory period greatly reduced. I chuckle as I set it.

"Great!" Kururmu tells me, then continues on "We've also added in a trade-out feature. This has been part of the original app for a while, but we just managed to get it converted to this new version. We realize you may not always make the best choice the first time, so now if you decide you don't like a customization you bought, you can spend one gem to trade it for a different one that's worth the same number of gems or less." I nod at that, it makes sense.

"Lastly," she adds, a mischievious grin on her face, "We're testing out a new optional feature. Normally you'll have to buy it for each girl you want it on, but since you're testing it, we've given it to Maddie for free. Besides," she leans over and whispers in my ear, her tits pressing into my shoulder, "This is the new feature I told you about that we made for her. Head back to her profile." I shiver at the feeling of her breath in my ear, as I hurry back to Madison's profile.

Kurumu pulls back a little, points to a new toggle near the top of her profile page, labeled 'Brat Mode.' I turn it on, and she then points to Maddie's 'Flash Breasts' hotkey. I press it, looking at Madison.

She gets a surprised look on her face, as her hands start to reach for her shirt, then she pulls them away, and a back and forth starts going on. Kurumu explains as I hold the button down "Brat mode makes it so that any applicable customizations, including most hotkeys and customizations involving reactionary behaviors, go from being automatic to a compulsion that grows stronger the longer the stimulus is active. So the longer you hold that button, the harder it will be for her to not do it. Just be warned, when Brat Mode is on, all awareness settings for customizations it applies to are locked 'On.' I watch Maddie as she contines to fight against her own hands, losing ground as she does, before eventually pulling her oversized nightshirt up to her face, showing she apparently decided not to wear any underwear last night. I release the button and she drops it, her breathing a little heavy.

Kurumu gives Maddie another coy smirk, and asks "Is that more to your liking?" Madison just nods in response, clenching and unclenching her hands, as if making sure they are back under her control.

"Good!' Kurumu beams, then continues "That's about everything, then, you two make sure to spread the fun around!" She turns around briefly, her cape flairing up to show off her ass briefly, before she pauses, and looks back over at us

"I almost forgot. One more thing, this time a personal request," she eyes us, a smoldering look coming across her face, and I can practically feel the air getting heavy with lust, before she says "Next time you two are going to fool around with that athletic goddess, let me know. That's one piece of caramel I would love to get in my mouth," then she winks at Maddie, adding on "With some lovely milk chocolate on the side," before vanishing into the air.

I look over at Madison, both of us breathing heavily now. "I wasn't expecting that."

"Neither was I, but I won't complain as long as you don't get me in trouble with that new power!" I nod my head at that. I would never want to cause trouble for people, it's just not in my nature. Though, thinking about what Kurumu told us about the betting pool, apparently not everyone thinks so.

Authors Note: Found a picture I liked better for Kurumu in this chapter, so I made a quick change :)
