"Oh, good luck then." Tralock didn't understand what was so glorious about it. It was common sense that if you didn't eat the good food in time, it would just be taken by other diners.
However, the answer he heard confirmed Tralock's guess.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer. Enjoy the night." Tralock waved his hand and turned to leave.
Tralock, carrying the tray, brushed past Mochizuki Oboro.
[BB's Special Reminder: Tralock placed a note in his senior's pocket.]
As for whether or not to start a new route, that's for you to decide.
However, even if one remains indifferent now, gravity is not something that can be easily escaped.
Tralock... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.
Mochizuki Oboro opened her phone, accessed the "One-Check-All" app officially released by Chaldea, and clicked on the detailed composition of the senior management of the Aztec Corporation.
Is it a coincidence that he shares the same name as the vice chairman who has never shown his face?
Strange cage (1) Seven Masters' House) Jiu Four Kicks ^ ……
After a while.
Typhon had to admit that he didn't have the courage to feed them.
Perhaps because he's been watching too many of Gamo's videos lately, Typhon keeps fantasizing about winning her over on a single date, confessing his feelings at lightning speed, and securing his victory.
But once seated, let alone feeding her, he couldn't even directly observe Mochizuki Oboro's eating posture; he could only gather information out of the corner of his eye.
She didn't smack her lips, and while her demeanor couldn't compare to that of the aristocrats on television, it was still quite refined.
Pass.
If one's table manners are so bad that one thinks about correcting them later, one might be reluctant to do so.
“Recently, I had the same dream as Ipsilon,” Typhon said casually.
"A dream in a remote tourist town, right?" Mochizuki Oboro understood Tifeng's second purpose in inviting him out.
According to BB's statement, only Epsilon should retain the memory, but the situation seems to have changed.
Is it a connection based on blood ties? Or is it just the baby's quirky sense of humor?
Wang Yuelong prefers to believe the latter—reputation is not built in a day.
"You really did have that dream too?"
Typhon asked eagerly, "Is your ability related to dreams?"
If Servants possess skills and Noble Phantasms, then it's normal for Masters to have some special abilities in addition to supporting their Servants.
"That's one way to put it. However, I can only open the dream world; I can't control its background, nor can I decide who participates or who retains their memories."
Mochizuki Oboro raised the spoon: "To put it more simply, after certain conditions are met, I have the key to unlock dreams, but I cannot interfere with anything else."
Are you awake when you're dreaming?
What a contradictory statement...
"Yes."
Tifeng puffed up his cheeks, looking like an angry hamster.
She had no reason to be angry, but she was just in sync with her dream self.
Compared to other fleeting dreams, that dream felt incredibly real, as if I had actually spent half a year there.
"Multiple ships jumped, scum."
"..."
"Why don't you speak?"
"Because it's true."
“That was just a dream, wasn’t it?” Typhon said.
Mochizuki Oboro's lips twitched: "You actually know that?"
"Congratulations. That dream was great, wasn't it?" Typhon said sarcastically. "You had a good time at the shrine, didn't you?"
Although both he and his sister Epsilon accepted his confession, considering the entire quarter they spent repairing their relationship, they actually didn't spend much time together as lovers, and it was mostly just dates.
The dream ended before I even got to base.
"You might not believe it, but in my dream, I didn't feel anything when I was doing the ■ activity; it was like skipping it entirely."
“Who asked you about that thing…” Typhon awkwardly looked away.
It should be true. Typhon heard a quote while watching videos: "The human brain cannot simulate sensory experiences that cannot be experienced."
If Mochizuki Oboro is indeed still a prospective mage, then he probably doesn't have any relevant simulation experience.
Ultimately, even the strangest dream is still a dream.
After sitting down and having a good talk about his dream, Typhon felt much better.
At least now I can face the difference between dreams and reality.
"Do you know what I want to say?" Typhon's voice was very soft, so soft that only Mochizuki Oboro, who was sitting opposite him, could hear it.
It seems we've reached a point of choice.
[A: I know. You like me.] (Physical Experience +5)
[B: I know. You might like me.] (Charm experience points +5)
【C: I don't know.】(Dexterity experience +5)
[D: Dreams and reality are different.] (Strategy progress slows down, side quest progress slows down)
During the paused time, Mochizuki Oboro could clearly see a faint blush on Tsutsumi's face.
Half a second passed in the perceived time, and then time resumed its flow.
"In your dream, you like me in your dream. Therefore, in reality, you may also be somewhat affected." Mochizuki Oboro chose option B.
Tifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."
"You want to conduct a test to see if I'm the boyfriend you're looking for," Mochizuki Oboro continued.
“Hmm.” Typhon was glad he didn’t have to say those words himself—it was still a little embarrassing for the girl.
“I can keep you company when I have time,” Mochizuki Oboro said.
“That’s enough,” Typhon replied with a smile.
This is a lie.
To be honest, Typhon wanted to possess him immediately, to imprison him completely, and to forbid him from having even the slightest interaction with other women... Epsilon might have been an accident. After all, she was his sister.
But after that dream, Typhon also realized some things that could not be changed, namely, the true nature of Mochizuki Oboro.
If you confine a bird because you like it, its beautiful feathers will fall out, and its clear voice will become hoarse. In that case, the bird you get will only be an empty shell.
"Instead of hoping the other person will change, sometimes changing yourself is a more effective approach."
Kama's words echoed in Typhon's ears once again.
That's right, all you need to do is change yourself.
The beauty that Mochizuki Oboro admires is not only physical appearance, but also beauty of the soul and behavior.
Even a beautiful girl like herself would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against those scheming scoundrels.
Since that's the case, then let yourself cultivate beauty in both mind and action. That way, he'll be absolutely captivated and willingly become his captive.
"Do you remember my first request?" Typhon stretched out his hands and gently cupped his cheek.
“You want me to be the perfect boyfriend in your eyes.” Mochizuki Oboro repeated what Tifeng from the Service Department had said.
"There's a second half to the sentence."
Typhon smiled faintly, like morning dew, clear and pure: "I will try my best to become the perfect girlfriend in your heart."
"My ideal girlfriend..." Mochizuki asked, puzzled.
Does one truly have a fixed standard in their heart?
"Appearance, mind, behavior. These are the words you yourself have said."
At this moment, Typhon cast aside all unnecessary reserve and arrogance: "If I could achieve all of that, would you pursue me instead?"
"Then I definitely won't be able to take my eyes off it."
For the first time, Mochizuki Oboro looked at a man of the opposite sex her own age with expectant eyes: "If there is such a possibility, please let me admire you carefully."

Chapter 60 The Emotional Master and the Domineering CEO
In a villa in the 15th school district.
Kama lay exhausted in the bathtub, letting out a weary sigh.
Gorgon Channel has three accounts focusing on different areas: tech reviews, lifestyle chat, and relationship advice. Each has a considerable number of followers.
Digital product reviews and casual conversations are fine, but emotional counseling is really exhausting.
Despite having no experience herself, she shares her expertise online, and her videos on emotional counseling have garnered tens of millions of views. She also receives numerous private messages from successful fans who have come to express their gratitude.
It seems very strange, but Kama thinks it can still be explained.
Because they have no experience, they are able to offer the right advice from an objective perspective.
It is common knowledge that a strategist can only be called a strategist when they do not personally intervene in battle. Once caught in the whirlpool of emotions, maintaining rationality becomes a laughable luxury.
The "superpower test" recently promoted by Academy City has given Kama a real headache: to put it bluntly, her ability is related to "love" and can make people fall in love.
How could this be?
Releasing videos every now and then is already tiring enough, isn't it? Even becoming a Servant doesn't spare you?
In addition, "Persona" also targeted Kama.
The only slight consolation is that the two personas I possess are not much different from the main personality in terms of character; the only difference is in my physique.
Lolita, young girl, mature woman... Hehe, from a certain perspective, at least I possess all the beauty of feminine grace.
Half an hour later, Kama, wearing a bathrobe, came out of the bathroom and immediately saw Stheno and Euryale sitting on the living room sofa watching TV.
Aside from their appearance, they make no contribution whatsoever.
Of the four people on the Gorgon Channel, only Gamo and Medusa were capable of doing any work; the other two simply reaped the benefits without contributing. However, considering that Medusa was willing to do the work of three people, Gamo didn't say much.
"Want to come over and play Medusa later?" Euryale asked casually, her words carrying a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
Kama's face darkened: "No."
This is quite a recent spectacle. Due to the Persona effect, Medusa can freely switch forms; besides her primary personality, Medusa has three different appearances.
Personas generally bring about some degree of personality change, but Medusa is completely unable to resist Stheno and Euryale regardless of her form, so even after becoming a Servant, she is just a toy for her sisters.
Medusa is still editing videos and will suffer further "torture" later. If it weren't for the high intelligence of the household robots in Academy City, she would be exhausted to death.
"I have to go to Finis Academy for an interview tomorrow, I'm going to rest now." Kama yawned, turned and went upstairs.
……
On the other side, the men's dormitory.
