Chapter 674. Appearance Update! (3)
Though it was good that I impulsively threw Dornia into the process with the flow, immediately afterward, I had a question.
“…Hold on, did we even decide how she’s going to be modified?”
“No? It’s the first test, so of course, it’s set to random.”
“Oh.”
I realized that Dornia would undergo an unintelligent random appearance modification lottery (?), and I felt my mood become very serious.
After all, if she were unnecessarily modified in the wrong way?
For example, Dornia’s charm lies in her overwhelming lower body compared to her underdeveloped upper half.
If the random appearance modification balances her upper and lower body?
Then her already insufficient features would diminish further, and her already ambiguous presence would become even more diminished.
Or conversely, her legs might weaken while only her chest grows larger.
‘No, my amazing thighs!!!’
At the thought of losing one of those wonderful thighs—something where more is always better—I felt waves of sadness.
However, through the ensuing conversation between Gryanarr and Jessica, I realized that what I should be worrying about wasn’t Dornia’s strong and soft thighs.
“But Gryanarr, if it’s a random modification, how far does it go exactly?”
“I don’t know, but tails might multiply, or horns or new ears could appear.”
“Hmm, assuming multiple br*asts are fine, the rest seems manageable.”
“Ah, but if things go wrong, strange things could happen.”
“Strange things?”
“Yeah, if you’re unlucky, you could end up with multiple br*asts, or extra eyes and limbs.”
“…Oh dear.”
“And in the worst case, they might become intersex or grow lots of tentacles.”
‘What?’
Since everything was completely hidden, I couldn’t tell what was happening, but listening to their conversation filled me with growing anxiety.
However, as mentioned in the system update notice…
“Gryanarr, is there any way to revert the modifications back to normal?”
“Of course, just in case, I’ve also prepared a reset button.”
“Phew…that’s a relief.”
Seeing Gryanarr proudly holding out a large and beautiful red button connected to the machine, I naturally sighed in relief.
No matter how Dornia came out, I decided to start by showering her with compliments.
While we were having this scattered conversation, the ‘Random Appearance Modification Process’ had apparently finished. The hatch, which had been firmly closed, opened, and Dornia emerged…
-Snap!
“S, Commander, has something changed…?”
“Hm.”
“This is fortunate; it only changed in ways that don’t cause problems. Commander.”
“Indeed.”
Fortunately, Dornia’s ‘body’ itself hadn’t changed.
To be precise, only her body remained unchanged.
On top of her dark brown short hair, two owl-like feathers protruded.
Despite having bird-like feathers on her head, she also had a very furry cat-like tail sticking out from her rear.
Her originally plain human eyes, which matched her dark brown hair, had turned into glittering golden cat eyes after the modification.
But the most noticeable change was that she now wore attire reminiscent of Austria’s uniform—a peculiar fashion choice that made her lower half disappear.
“Um, do you feel any difference in your clothing?”
“Clothing?”
-Glance-
“I can’t sense any significant change.”
“Eh, really…”
“Actually, I feel a considerable sense of openness, which I quite like.”
“I see.”
Even though she was dressed in a bizarre outfit that resembled Austrian military uniforms, she showed no signs of discomfort and even smiled slightly, pleased with the change.
This subtle transformation in Dornia’s demeanor made me wonder if not only her appearance but also her mindset had been altered.
Had Gryanarr failed to predict this mental change?
“Hmm, why does she accept it like this?”
“How do you explain this, Gryanarr?”
Gryanarr looked confused, much like a dentist who suddenly says “Huh?” in the middle of surgery.
But debating this point seemed meaningless.
“Well then, Dornia, do you feel any discomfort in your current state?”
“No, Commander.”
“Do you want to revert to your original form, or perhaps remove those feather-like things and the tail?”
“Absolutely not, it feels like they’ve been part of me all along, so I have no desire to remove them.”
“I see.”
Dornia, the subject herself, didn’t seem to mind at all. On the contrary, she seemed delighted to have gained some kind of identity, leading us to roughly celebrate the success (?) of the first appearance modification.
And thus, gathering everyone together for celebration…
“Dornia, I believe you will become one of us.”
“Finally, you’ve awakened. Welcome to the world of openness.”
“Now I understand how the two of you have been living like this.”
“Woo-hoo♡ Everyone looks great♡”
I watched as our relatively modest Dornia joined Tiamat, Austria, and Pashtira in the “exposure faction,” while the few remaining members of the “modesty faction” (Belial, Bendalope, Partia) gathered together, whispering about the strange situation unfolding before us.
==========
Yet, it seemed that what happened to Dornia was something many other users I knew were also experiencing.
Curious about how others fared after modifying their characters, I entered the gallery after seeing Dornia transformed into an owl-cat hybrid with exposure tendencies…

Don’t apply random transformations!

Why did she switch to the modesty faction?
[When asked to increase exposure, she refused, saying it was embarrassing.]
What is this??
Comments:
-[Reset it NOW]
-[There seems to be a problem with the random modification function. Everything looks messed up.]
-[??? Seeing Pashtira like this makes me feel strange.]
-[But strangely, this version has its own appeal;;]
-[True, fully covered nun outfits still make her chest look massive. Is this real life??]
-[Language is crude]

On one side, there were cries of anguish over normal individuals turning into exhibitionists.
On the other, anguish over reduced exposure levels.
Witnessing these chaotic scenes throughout the gallery, I began to suspect that something was indeed wrong with the system update.
