A Girl Strengthens My Tail Without Permission

A young girl was fiddling with a strange machine that looked like a rotating drum, shoving something resembling a tail into it. She pulled the lever on the side, and a mechanical hum began to echo as the machine shook.

After a short while, with a puff of smoke, the lid popped open, and a message appeared:

[+1 Yongyongi’s Tail Enhancement was successful!]

The girl examined the tail, now shimmering more than before, and furrowed her brows. Strengthening someone else’s tail without permission? How rude.

“Eugh.”

She shoved the tail back into the machine.

[+2 Yongyongi’s Tail Enhancement was successful!]

Each time the enhancement succeeded, she continued feeding the tail into the drum.

[+3 Yongyongi’s Tail Enhancement was successful!]
[+4 Yongyongi’s Tail Enhancement was successful!]
[+5 Yongyongi’s Tail Enhancement was successful!]

Watching from the side, I couldn’t help but feel an increasing sense of unease.
Why is she strengthening my tail? My tail, my pride, my everything—why mess with it?

“What are you doing with my tail? And why is it glowing yellow? That’s terrifying. It feels wrong.”
“It’s your tail. What’s the big deal?”

Without even acknowledging my complaint, she shoved it back into the drum.

[+6 Yongyongi’s Tail Enhancement was successful!]

The girl continued this reckless strengthening process until she succeeded in reaching +10. I was trembling in quiet horror as my tail began to radiate a faint red glow, exuding an undeniable aura of "coolness."

“What’s the point of all this strengthening? Does it boost attack power?”
“The attack power is already plenty strong. This is about flexibility—your tail’s flexibility improves with each enhancement.”

Flexibility? I had a sinking feeling about where this was going.

“Wait, when you say ‘flexibility,’ do you mean…”
“Yup, for… certain activities. Basically, the more it’s enhanced, the less it’ll hurt during… you know. At high levels, you could probably even tie it into a bow.”

In short, she was making my tail more flexible so that I could, um, enjoy things more during certain… encounters?
