Nakamura Shuji POV
'Something's bothering Chi-kun...' I thought, looking thoughtfully at his reflection in the rearview mirror.
It's been a few months now since I first brought him to his 'dojo'... no matter what he says, I'm still reluctant to bring him to this place. Not only is it clearly a Yakuza headquarters, but It's also filled to the brim with scantily clad women, who clearly have a bone to pick with Chi-kun.
My dislike for bringing him here only increases when he comes back with a new bruise, or limp. He doesn't seem to mind, but Lane is getting progressively more worried with each bruise
I'm also not entirely sure how I feel about how things have been progressing family-wise since that eventful Christmas... On one hand, things have been a lot less awkward and strained since the kids opened up about everything, but at the same time, the new sense of openness also brings up a lot of uncomfortable situations for me and Lane.
Our weekly Sunday outings have gotten a lot more jolly, but the clearly non-sibling-like relationship that Chi-kun and Mania-chan are developing is a bit concerning. Lane says that there isn't anything to worry about, but I can see that even she doesn't believe her words.
'*Sigh* Why are teenagers so complicated... I know it's supposed to be their rebellious phase, but still.' I thought exasperatedly before focusing back on Chi-kun, who was now staring at me with an unamused raised eyebrow.
'Right... I forgot about his freakish level of perception, it's almost like he's reading my mind.'
"I'm not reading your mind." He shrugged, his twitching lips betraying his rising amusement.
"*Sigh* What's on your mind Chi-kun?" I asked, ignoring his mind-reader comment.
"... What do you think about men, dad?" He asked after a short moment of silence.
"?" Clearly seeing my confusion, he elaborates a bit more.
"As in... sexuality wise... How do you know If you like men or not?" He elaborated honestly.
"!?" caught off guard by the nature of the questions, I accidentally press harder on the break, abruptly stopping in the middle of the road, luckily there weren't that many cars on the road so no major accidents happened.
*Cough!* *Cough!*
Regaining my composure, I cough into my hand, trying to get more time to fully process the question he asked me.
After taking a moment to apologize to the cars behind us, I start driving again, this time at a much faster speed.
'Lane should know what to do!' I thought, planning on saying a bunch of nonsense words and stalling until I managed to get home and dump this emotional stuff onto Lane.
Just when I was about to start speaking, Chi-kun cut me off with a shrug.
"Nah, don't worry about it dad, I'll figure it out soon enough." He said, his attention going back to a stack of papers in his hand.
"..."
'Ugh... Okay, chin up Shuji! Your son finally needs you for something other than paperwork! Focus!' I internally groaned, hyping myself up to actually try and answer this question.
"*Snort* No, really dad, I got this." He snorted... were my intentions really that obvious?
"*Sigh* Alright... To start, I want to say there is nothing wrong with being Gay, sure, it's a bit unconventional, and looked down on, especially due to the low birth rate, and the number of deaths during the pandemic, but we'll be with you every step of the way." I started. 'So far so good.'
"And to answer your question, personally, I can't even begin to think of men in a sexual light, but with all the types of mutations going around these days, It isn't surprising to be sexually confused." I continued. 'All right, going well...'
"It all really depends on what you… feel?" I said, berating myself for making the statement sound like a question.
"I-I mean, um... What do you want to be?" I stuttered, stumbling over my words. 'Ugh! Damit Shuji...'
While internally cursing myself for my lack of answer, Chi-kun gained a contemplative look on his face.
"What I want to be, huh..." He muttered, barely audible enough for me to hear.
After a second of thinking, he smiled a bit.
"Hmn... Okay dad, I think I get it a bit more now." He said, looking as if he'd been reassured of something.
"Hmn! No problem Chi-kun! I'll be here anytime you need help with a problem." I hummed confidently.
'Yes!! I actually pulled it off somehow.' I internally cheered.

Chihiro POV
*Click*
'Well, that wasn't helpful at all.' I thought, tossing my bag on the bed, and collapsing on the massage chair in the corner of my room.
*BRRRRR*
'*Sigh~~* At least it helped me relate that problem to my goal in this life.' I sighed in relief, slouching my relaxing body onto the chair.
And what exactly is my goal in this world you ask?
It took me a while to really understand myself, and understand that no one really knows what they want, so I relented and asked 'ASK' about my goals, It's really useful for stuff like that. I was going to use it to ask what I thought about men, but dad beat it to it I guess.
Back on topic, so I asked 'ASK' about what my goal in this world was, and ask answered it simply enough
[To have fun.]
Yeah, I know, shocker, my goal is literally just to have fun.
I know, sounds stupid, but hey, who doesn't want to have fun...
So taking my goal of doing whatever I want as a basis, dad's words of what I want to be, sort of, kind of, correlated with how unsure I was about my goal in life.
And I know, having fun is extremely broad, but I just boiled it down to me doing whatever the f*ck I want. Examples of things I want are to not have to worry about money, to watch people suffer and enjoy the games I make 'Those rage videos are always fun to watch.', a lot of Degenerate sh*t, and to see people's reactions to the things I make.
So my answer to the whole sexuality garbage is: Who cares? If I wanna do it, I will. Why would I put a label on myself to restrict what I subconsciously think about myself and what's fun? I'll just need to look for a pet that I actually want, I've been needing someone to test ideas off of anyway.
[Ding!]
"Hm?" Raising a brow, I pull up the system to see what the notification was about.
-----------------------------------
[Hidden quest found!: Except the D!
Description: Except the eventuality that is your want for the D!
Reward: 1)Knowledge of 1 Random world-level event! (2)System application: Observe
Congratulations! Quest ' Except the D!' completed.]
-----------------------------------
Looking at the screen in surprise, chuckle a bit at the sense of humor the system creator has.
"Knowledge huh... should be useful," I muttered, clicking on it to redeem the token.
[Ding!
After taping on the screen, a wheel that looks eerily familiar appeared in front of me.
inspecting it for a few seconds, I tap on the [Spin] Icon to start the roll.
*Ratatatatatatatata!!!*
After a few seconds, and not seeing the wheel slowing down, I dismiss it and go back to relaxing on the massage chair, eventually falling asleep
...
..
.
[Ding!!]
'...' Slowly opening my eyes, my mind instantly knows the amount of time that passed since I fell asleep.
"So it took around an hour and a half..." I mutter, yawning into my palm while bringing up the system screen with a swiping motion.
-----------------------------------
[Hidden quest found!: Except the D!
Description: Except the eventuality that is your want for the D!
Knowledge: The boundary of the Virtual Reality branch of technology has been broken through simultaneously in: America, Japan, China, Canada, Netherlands, etc …..]
-----------------------------------
I blink at the screen, slowly reading it over a second time, then a third, a fourth, a fifth... you get the point.
"... Well damn... That.. came out of nowhere." I muttered, rubbing the remaining sleepiness out of my eye.
"Hup!" Jumping out of the chair, I walk over to my computer and turn on the monitor. After waiting a few seconds for it to turn on, I start researching the current development of VR.
And no, I'm not just googling it, I made a program that left a backdoor entrance into different Tech, Gaming, Animation, and Government owned companies. So now that I have an idea about what to look for in new developments, it should be pretty easy to find.
"Hoo~ Now that's interesting." I mutter, looking at the multiple pings in recognition I received.
"So they're not really that far yet. *Taptaptaptaptaptap* It'll probably take a few years or maybe even decades before it actually becomes useful for anything." I mutter, Tapping away at my keyboard.
'Bummer… wanted to try making and experiencing a VR game, would have been fun.' I thought, calculating how long I have to wait before a VR game becomes viable.
"Aaaaand~ Done!" *Tap!* I said, re-applying my backdoors as I exited their systems, them none the wiser.
Looking over my work with satisfaction, I turn back to my system and check the observation option on the screen.
----------------------------------
[ Observe ]
Description: Check information regarding the target of observation. Information varies depending on the level of intimacy between the target and the user.
Exception: Targets that are in the possession of the bodily extension: Penis, will automatically give all possible information regarding themselves.
----------------------------------
"Well, that's convenient." Grabbing the stack of paper with the pet candidates, I quickly look at each and every single picture in the folder to see if observation works with only images, which it does.
Playing around with the observation option for about half an hour, I figured out that I can make some sort of filter that lets me see only the information that I want, along with a few other features.
The only criteria that I put were the Feminization and Douchebag tags, mostly due to me wanting to feminize my pet, mind-breaking an a*shole so I don't have to feel bad, and experiment with my mutation a bit.
In the end, it came out with 3 solid candidates. But one stood out from the rest-
-------------------------------------
[Ureshii Dorei]
*Gender: Male
*Age: 27
*Mutation: Dog
*Description: President of a falling Game development company, After starting the company at 20 years old with his friends, they achieved relative success with titles such as: Celestial Combat, Modern God, The Ruins, etc. But after a falling out between the original members, and Ureshii Dorei, due to his immense greed, he was left with only a portion of his original team. Frustrated by his situation, his treatment of his remaining team was harsh and demanding, as well as his escape into alcoholism. Recently his team and him have been working on their last-ditch effort to revitalize the company, and due to this, his stress levels are at an all-time high, causing him to lash out at the smallest of things. He goes to the gym semi-regularly in order to not lose his muscles, and he never shaves even though his beard never grows to more than a stubble. This is due to his childhood trauma caused by his relatively feminine features. He is a very prideful individual and is very hard to break. But due to his already feminine base, his feminization will come far easier than most.
He is very reserved about his sexuality, thus he has a plethora of kinks that he is unaware of, and due to his mutation, more have grown in his subconscious. He has a sensitive nose, tongue, and ears due to his mutation, as well as being very obedient when he has been fully broken.... [ More ]
-------------------------------------
And seeing as his new game will launch next week, I already have a plan forming to break him and take his team for myself.
'Happy Slave, huh? Heh, your parents sure knew how to name you dude.' I internally chuckle, deciding that he'll be my first pet.
As I was thinking about my first pet, unbeknownst to me, another potential pet was speaking with my parents.
