10 I Apologize, Little Sis!
There were only three lines of text awaiting me. Far too few words as if there were any room for false interpretation. The brat had made her wishes more than clear.
«Why is this happening to me...»
『Quest 1/1: Make up with ???
Description: Apologize, big sis!

「It is something to wear!」 She explained in a joyful voice, clearly failing to see how unjust her actions were. 「A beautiful dress! The most beautiful there is!」
"..."
「It will protect you from the cold, too!」
"So you want me to wag my tail and say sorry!?"
「I never said you have to wag-」 She hesitated for about a split-second. 「It would look soo cute~! Big sister is the best!」
The quest screen disappeared, only to reappear within a second. Its contents, however, had significantly changed. Once again, I felt my fingers painfully piercing into the flesh of my hands.

"... not doing this."
「But Sis-」
"No! I will never-"
A number of voices forced my attention away from the screen. They belonged to the perverts who had attacked me before. I couldn't see them, as they were hidden somewhere in the forest or ruins surrounding the camp, but I knew they were staring at me. I could almost feel their eyes burning on my far too unprotected skin.
"Those bastards..."
「You should totally wear the dress. It will help you defend yourself from their lewd gazes!」
"Damn it..."
「I have even blessed them! You will be far stronger wearing them, big sis!」
I felt something die inside of me as I let myself sink to the ground. The little fox had won, there was no chance for me to avoid accepting this pathetic excuse of a quest. I couldn't prevent tears from gathering in my eyes. There had been too much going on today, not only had I lost my life and my body, the goddess was doing her best to make me lose my dignity, too!
A part of me already given up on fighting back, it knew that I needed the help of the goddess, especially with this weak body she had given me, but I just couldn't follow her commands. I was unable to.
Sure, I sat on the ground just like she had wanted me to and there were real tears in my eyes, but I had obviously never owned a dog tail. I needed several long minutes before I could finally control it slightly.
Before I had seen it follow my every emotion, it had waved when I had grown way too enthusiastic in doing those tutorial gymnastics, had quivered when I had felt cold and had become far wider when goosebumps had conquered my body.
«Screw this! Am I a dog or what?!»
「You are a fox, big sis!」 A cheeky voice commented without being questioned. 「And a cute one at that.」
"... let's just get over with it, ok?"
Squatting on the ground, I lifted my pa- hand and, together with teary eyes and a lively wagging tail, swallowed dozens of curses before apologizing to the goddess.
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." My monotone voice announced.
「Do you really mean it? It doesn't really sound honest.」
"I'm sooo sorry~" I imitated her annoying voice. "I am totally sorry, you know? I am not doing it again! Never!"
「Soo cuute~ <3」
The goddess needed a few moments to savor her victory, then finally a green window popped up, freeing me from my curse.

A white mist gathered in front of me. It swirled around, faster and faster, before slowly changing into what looked like a gift – it even came decorated with a red ribbon!
Before I could even grab the package, a new screen flashed in front of my eyes.
『Title gained: A Good Girl
Description: Performed each of the commands 'Beg' 'Shake Hand' and 'Sit' at least once.
Effects: Protected by ??? (Passive; Permanent; Can not be switched off)』
"WHO SHAKED HANDS WITH YOU!?!"
「It was close enough!」 Her bright voice decided. 「It was the best! Big sis looked so cute!」
"Please just stop-"
「You should start dressing, now.」 She reminded me. 「They are still watching you.」
Hearing her words, I slowly turned around. The young men were still hidden somewhere in the surroundings, and their leader, too, was nowhere to be seen. It was now or never.
«Let's see what she got for me...»
