Chapter Title: It's Tailored to Your Tastes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ji-eun must have already explained my abilities in detail, but they insisted I say it myself.
She must have taken it as quite a shock.
Well, who could easily believe that you need to suck, lick, and thrust to gain abilities?
"Everything Ji-eun said is true. I need to get aroused to gain the power to fight monsters, and I have to recharge it periodically. That's why I had sex with the girls."
"……."
"It wasn't forced. I explained the situation to them, and they all agreed."
"That's right. It was absolutely not against our will."
"Same here. Master didn't order it. I volunteered."
"Me too. You saw my reaction in the bathroom, didn't you?"
At Ji-eun's words, Yun-ji and Bo-ra's eyes widened in surprise.
"You were peeking...?"
"N-No... I heard crying sounds, so... I didn't mean to watch on purpose!"
Seo Young waved her hands frantically with a startled look on her face.
"Well, Ji-eun unnie's moans do sound kind of like crying."
"I thought it was even hotter."
"Both of you, shut up!"
Ji-eun shouted, her face flushed bright red.
With everyone chiming in, the conversation was veering off into irrelevant territory.
"So... you did it to survive...?"
Everyone froze at Seo Young's remark.
It was the primal question of why we were doing this.
"Exactly. We've only known each other a few days—falling in love doesn't make sense, and we need Oppa to protect us from zombies to stay alive, right?"
It wasn't wrong, but surprisingly, Ji-eun bristled.
"Don't put it like that. Yeah, with the world like this, we're doing it to survive. But why can't it be love? Even if we've only known each other a short time, we can fall in love, feel attracted, sense sexual chemistry. Why frame it like we have no choice? Can't I be interested in Oppa? Can't I want to have sex with him?!"
It was an explosive declaration.
Seo Young shrank back and fell silent.
"So, unnie... you feel that way about Oppa...?"
"Yeah! I don't know about love yet, but I want to keep having sex with him. Not because I have no choice or just to survive—because I enjoy it!"
"That's just fuck buddies. Sex partners."
Yun-ji voiced exactly what I was thinking.
A purely physical relationship based on mutual satisfaction.
Even so, the impact of her first time had been tremendous.
It had completely reshaped Ji-eun's mindset like that.
"Me too. When I sucked Oppa's, my body tingled all over, and when he thrust in... it felt so good I thought I'd go insane. I need to arouse Oppa, sure, but I'm enjoying it plenty myself."
"Same for me. I hope Master keeps pampering me."
Before I knew it, a solid harem had formed.
Seo Young blinked in stunned silence, staring at the three of them.
"That's our relationship. We're all satisfied so far, so believe it or not, it doesn't matter. That's all I have to say."
I cut it short before it dragged on longer.
There wasn't much more to explain anyway.
"Then... what about me? Do I have to arouse you too, Seung... Oppa?"
"No need to force it. Like I said earlier, I'm not going to make you. I've already got three, so you're not essential."
Her face scrunched up at the word "not essential."
"If you don't need me, why did you save me? No, if you saved me, you should use me somehow—why say you don't need me?"
"What am I supposed to use you for? There's nothing."
"Why not? I'm pretty, I've got a great body, and... my breasts are bigger than unnie's. I haven't tried it yet, but I can arouse Oppa way more!!"
Her face turned beet red as she ranted passionately.
Was this something to get so worked up about?
"It's great that you're willing, but do you even know what you're signing up for? It's sex with me. I'll touch you everywhere first, suck on you, and you'll have to suck me too. Can you handle that?"
Her face flushed for a different reason now, as if imagining it.
I waited patiently as she clamped her mouth shut, searching for words.
"...I can."
"Can't hear you."
"I can do it! I can! Unnie did it—why couldn't I? Let's do it right now!"
"No, there's no need to rush..."
Gurgle~
There it is.
I was wondering when that sound would come.
"We'll talk later. Let's eat something first."
All three stared at me with sparkling eyes.
They wanted the menu from last time.
"You want the menu, right?"
Nod nod.
Everyone except Seo Young nodded eagerly.
Available Points: 17,101pt
Thanks to Ji-eun, my point pouch was bulging.
This was enough to splurge a bit.
I pulled out menus for Korean, Western, Chinese, and Japanese food, just like last time, and handed them to the girls.
Seo Young gasped as the menus materialized in midair, but when she saw the others casually browsing, she stayed quiet.
To live here together, she needed to get used to sights like this.
Still, it must be tough not getting her own menu.
"Why didn't I get one? A menu."
"You starved for days—how could you eat the same stuff as them? I'll pick for you, so wait."
I ordered abalone porridge from the Korean menu.
Her eyes widened at the steaming bowl.
"How...? No cooking, and it's just... how?"
"It's one of my abilities. It's not just about getting stronger when aroused. I need it for stuff like this too."
I explained that arousal builds points, which I use to buy food.
She scooped up a spoonful, brought it to her mouth while listening.
"It's delicious..."
Her eyes moistened as she sniffled and kept eating.
The world had gone to hell, yet here I was taking care of Seo Young.
"You remembered I like abalone."
"Everyone likes shellfish. Do you know how many I grilled just for you?"
Whenever she said she wanted some, I'd fetch and cook it, sitting her down to eat.
That's how I knew all her likes and dislikes.
She polished it off and licked her lips, so I ordered spicy octopus kimchi porridge.
"It's not live, so eat up."
"I eat live octopus now too. You scolded me for not eating something so good."
"Did I?"
The three gave us odd looks, but I ignored them.
She needed to regain her strength so I could squeeze points out of her later.
I told the girls to distribute clothes and feminine products, then headed to the bathroom.
As expected, the floor and tub were a mess.
Whew, this sweat and fluids.
I tidied the toiletries and started cleaning the floor.
Zombie AI has been upgraded.
A notice popped up in midair.
It was a function update alert.
A new 'Communication' feature has been added to Zombie AI.
An avatar tailored to the player's preferences will be generated. Please wait a moment...
'Communication? Avatar?'
My vision blurred, and a translucent window appeared.
Unlike the status window, it was blank at first, but soon filled with something.
'Whoa... what is this?'
It was a cute zombie girl in casual clothes emphasizing certain... assets.
[This avatar has been generated to match the player's tastes. Do you like it?]
'What kind of tastes of mine led to this?'
[Gal-style dyed hair preference, long or short hair fine, minimum D-cup (bigger the better), slim waist with birthing hips. This avatar is based on that analysis.]
I wasn't sure about the dye, but the rest matched pretty well.
Since I was young, I'd loved voluptuous types—thicc big sis and milfs were my favorites.
The system had analyzed my tastes without me knowing.
'But why the zombie costume?'
[It's Zombie AI, so zombie outfit, obviously. Future updates will allow costume changes—stay tuned.]
Nice.
[Costumes are DLC—changing them costs points.]
Damn it.
'That's all? Just a hologram avatar?'
[Of course not. The core of this upgrade is the communication feature. Now you can talk to the AI without opening the status window. I'll appear when needed and converse like a person.]
'What should I call you?'
[Just think it like when you ask questions. I can read the player's will, so I'll come right away.]
It had upgraded from a simple search engine to something interactive.
The UI was customized to my tastes, hence the appearance.
'You'll answer like this when I ask?'
[Of course. Ask away.]
I had a question ready—perfect timing.
'You said Heroines can switch to Slave class, right?'
[Yes, it's possible.]
'What's the condition? This isn't game core-related, right?'
[Good question. Not related to game core, so I can answer. The class change condition is...]
