Miss Avalon could imagine how the three wild boar sisters, seizing the opportunity, would attack her if the news leaked.
Artoria, Morgan, or Castor did not appear in this dream, nor were Typhon, Epsilon, or Melusin, who could carry memories out. It was a meager consolation, if not something more.
The most urgent task is to shut Lilith and Mochizuki Oboro up.
How can someone who's making fun of others expose themselves as a source of amusement?
Meili suddenly got up and sat on the bed to think.
If you deliberately try to get rid of it, it's tantamount to declaring that you care a lot about this weakness, and handing over your handmaiden advantage to those two guys.
But if she didn't communicate with her family, Mary felt that her indecent photos would be spread everywhere.
When Mochizuki Oboro was on a date with Typhon, he had already demonstrated the ability to "read and write". Similarly, it wouldn't be a difficult problem for him to reproduce what Merry looked like in that world.
“Heh, heh heh…”
Meryl mechanically raised her head, then, in a fit of self-pity, spread her arms wide and shut down the computer on the spot.
That's it for now, let's go to bed first.
Of course, no matter how Miss Avalon tries to salvage the situation, the perfect AI of the second generation has a backup.
At the same time, in girls' dormitory room 456.
At 3:16 a.m., Lilith opened her eyes.
"..."
There is no doubt that Lilith also experienced those strange dreams.
It lacks logic, but is impeccable in terms of sensory experience, almost equivalent to experiencing everything in another world firsthand.
“Magical girls, aliens, and evil...corruption and new primates...what on earth is all this?” Lilith sighed. “Why does it feel like it’s a completely bizarre movie set when it’s my turn?”
The quiet muttering to himself didn't disturb his roommates.
Whether it's Typhon, Arcueid, or Kuonji Aratsu, they are all immersed in their dreams at this moment, and if you listen carefully, you can hear their even and delicate breathing.
I had a great time in that wonderful world.
The wicked data collection work, and the blush-inducing multi-part sequences and challenging dungeons.
Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to try it in the real world someday?
Lilith yawned, suppressing the synchronized heat, put her wired headphones back on, set a timer for a lullaby, and drifted off to sleep again.
……
The only one who slept through the night was Mochizuki Oboro.
(III) Meltryllis inherits the game simulation mechanism of BB. After the game ends, it is directly the next day in the real world, without having to spend energy to adjust like the characters you are trying to conquer.
"Uh... what kind of dream did you have?" Mandicardo scratched his head and looked at the slightly dazed Mochizuki Oboro: "Why do you look so pale?"
Wang Yuelong closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said, "I've taken off at least a hundred times in my dreams."
"Huh?!" Mandicardo's pupils dilated in shock: "A hundred times?"
While getting her hair done in front of the mirror, Charlemagne said, "You've been suppressing your emotions too much. I think you need to let it all out."
Karna quipped, "Repressed? The most unrestrained person in the entire Finis Academy is probably Oboro."
No. This is not the same thing.
Charlemagne instantly switched to a serious expression, reached out and patted Karna on the shoulder: "Precisely because you're caught in the emotional vortex of beautiful women, you can't easily express your attitude. Otherwise, you'd be torn to pieces and have to be super-reassembled."
Mandicardo chimed in: "Being surrounded by beautiful girls all day but unable to release the pressure will naturally lead to more and more severe repression—is that what you mean?"
“That’s right!” Charlemagne nodded vigorously.
Mochizuki Oboro stretched her neck: "What do you mean?"
"Since you're under a lot of pressure, go and release it." Charlemagne smiled knowingly. "Long, you don't have any real combat experience yet, do you?"
Karna calmly pointed out, "You don't either. I thought you were some senior."
"But I can lead the way."
"?"x3
Amid the astonished gazes of the three heroes, Charlemagne strode confidently and opened his cabinet.
Then, Charlemagne reached into the inside pocket of a hanging shirt and took out a mysterious little card.
"Academy City prohibits this kind of thing; it's a gray industry, and you'll be punished if you get caught," Karna couldn't help but remind him.
Mandicardo unusually used a serious tone: "It is important to keep oneself clean."
Charlemagne flipped the small card over, as if pulling out his beloved Sky Striker card: "Please look carefully."
“24-hour unmanned self-operated, student experience center…” Mochizuki Oboro leaned forward and slowly read out the words on the card.
Due to the unique nature of Academy City, the main consumers here are young people, who are actually quite receptive to trendy items and certain things.
For example, a love experience center.
In the futuristic metropolis, there will naturally be some so-called "black technologies," such as special dolls with realistic body movements that can not only express emotions but also perform some simple interactions.
In addition, the experience center also offers rooms in different styles for couples who need them, and most of the props are available in skirts.
“I’m telling you,” Mandecardo said with a dark expression, “don’t you think it’s a bit pathetic to spend money on dolls?”
Karna stroked his chin: "But it's better than keeping it to yourself."
Charlemagne's face was resolute: "Alright! We'll go explore together this afternoon!"
"Could it be that you just wanted to see the results but were too embarrassed to go?" Mandicardo realized belatedly.
Karna looked at Mochizuki Oboro: "What do you think?"
"...When did we switch the channel to Azure Ocean?"
Chapter 202 Prelude to Social Death
Suspicious behavior.
sneaking.
glance right and left.
"Erise, isn't that your brother?"
"...and his three roommates."
Why are they wearing masks?
"do not know."
Reines and Eri both narrowed their eyes slightly, stood on tiptoe, and locked their gaze on the four who clearly had no intention of doing anything serious.
Strange. Abnormal. I can't figure it out.
Given Oboro Mochizuki's personality, she generally wouldn't hide anything, and when she's with Karna, the sum of her parts is greater than the sum of her parts.
Charlemagne, the president of the soccer club, is a well-known little star in Finis Academy, with countless female fans, and is known for his sunny and cheerful personality.
Mandicardo... Mandicardo... is a person, too.
How could it be so strange for these people to come together?
Intrigued, Reines and Eri secretly followed them, trying to find out the answer.
One step, two steps, three steps.
"Where's your brother?" Reines asked, somewhat dazed. "He just disappeared around a corner?"
Eri's lips twitched: "Karna-senpai and the others have also disappeared."
It was May, and the sun was getting increasingly hot, making the tracking operation more difficult.
Not far away, the real tracking team.
"It's a little short on the mark." Sajō Aika put down her binoculars. "The prince has already noticed."
Kiyohime was pondering the same question as Eri and the other two: "What does Oboro-sama intend to do today?"
Mary sighed and remained silent.
"You have bad days too?" Ayaka Sajou teased.
Mary dropped a freshly made, custom-made quote: "No one can be carefree forever."
She still hasn't figured out how to maintain her advantageous position as someone who's purely interested in having fun.
Discussing it with Aika Sajou or Kiyohime? It will most likely backfire.
Fortunately, neither Mochizuki Oboro nor Lilith has spoken out publicly yet. But this situation won't continue indefinitely.
If anyone asks, Mochizuki Oboro will definitely omit the details and give a general account. By then, Merry's golden body will truly be broken.
Before this, Meryl's identity was that of a "spectator who does not participate in the competition," who could do whatever she wanted with her detached attitude and sometimes even play little pranks.
But what if these people found out that Mary herself had also entered the dream...?
“Sigh.” Meryl’s eyes were vacant.
……
[Skill "Star Premonition (B)" has been activated.]
[You discovered Eri and Reines's stalking attempt and gained lucky experience points.]
[Lucky D: 8/30 → 10/30]
Mochizuki Oboro stretched out her hands and patted Eri and Reines on the shoulders, one on each side: "Looking for someone?"
Reines coughed lightly: "We are..."
"I've been looking for you." Eri nodded, admitting it.
Having been caught red-handed, there's no need to continue hiding. In this respect, Mochizuki Oboro and Eri Se are quite similar.
"What do you want?" Mochizuki Oboro pinched Eri Se's cheek.
Charlemagne and his two companions headed ahead to the vicinity of the meeting point, while Mochizuki Oboro stayed behind alone to witness the demeanor of the inexperienced trainee trackers.
Eri grabbed Mochizuki Oboro's waist in response: "You're not the type to sneak around like this often."
"I'm going……"
"Where are you going?" Tiamat suddenly appeared and poked her head out. "Are you going out to play with your friends?"
Dead silence.
Mochizuki Oboro could swear that he didn't actually intend to go to the experience center to simulate combat today; he just wanted to see the interior structure and furnishings.
Therefore, if it were to be addressed to Erise, Mochizuki Oboro could tell her what she was going to do next without any psychological burden.
But when it comes to the caregiver...
If Tiamat found out I wanted to go to the experience center, my life would probably be over.
"Let's go check out the shops." Mochizuki Oboro made a sharp turn.
Since lying goes against our principles, let's just tell half the truth. That way, we might still achieve our goal.
Eri asked suspiciously, "Do we still need to wear masks for that kind of thing?"
"A restaurant review?" Tiamat's eyes lit up. "Can I come along? Is it for a meal or something?"
Tiamat's main purpose in accompanying her to Phineas Academy was to "experience the feeling of youth together," and she didn't care about anything else. Creating shared memories at an unknown shop perfectly met her requirements.
【We're doomed.】
[Should we bring my sister to the experience center? Unlocking a hidden route would be a good idea, right?]
Meltryllis is still making sarcastic remarks.
Looking at her older sister's expectant eyes, Mochizuki Long was at a loss for what to do.
With a smile on her face, Reines whispered in Erise's ear for a while, and soon the effect was contagious, with Erise also turning into someone who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
Her lips were upturned, her eyebrows were slightly lowered, her cheeks were fair, and her eyes were mocking.
"How about the three of us go together?" Erise added fuel to the fire.
Reines nodded and said, "I don't mind. As long as you have fun."
