In some cases, what girls really want is just an attitude and an answer; they don't care about the truth.
Mochizuki Oboro is just that kind of clueless guy.
Time passed by in trivial and ordinary moments, and before we knew it, it was noon.
Two lunches, disposable mats, tissues, and drinks—the picnic preparations are complete.
"I want to go in together..." Epsilon said enviously, munching on a sandwich. "I was in your dream too, so why didn't you invite me?"
“Hehe.” Sajou Aika’s reply was concise.
Mary pinched her chin, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
It's precisely this kind of innocent, youthful interaction that makes it interesting. There's Tsutsumi, struggling with whether to feed each other, and Mochizuki Oboro, who pretends to be mute but answers with her actions.
"Your face is full of mischievous expressions." Kiyohime glanced at Meryl: "What are you planning to do?"
"Don't you all think that the triangle is the most stable shape?" Mary chuckled.
"?"x3
Meili's tone was exaggerated: "She clearly liked him, but could only watch helplessly as her sister took Mochizuki-kun for herself. The desire to destroy him grew and swelled to an unbearable degree, eventually destroying the fragile balance between the three of them."
"What kind of third-rate script are you thinking of?" Aika Sajou complained.
Ipsilon scratched his cheek: "No. We agreed not long ago to share it with my sister."
"How shameless... Doesn't little Ipu want to win the war called love with her own strength?!" Kiyohime looked at her roommate with unfamiliarity, as if she were a completely different person.
"?"
Epsilon: "You think you can take on at least 10 opponents?"
“Since we already know it’s impossible to monopolize the market, we might as well unite first and gain a dominant position as soon as possible,” Aika Sajou explained.
In this respect, Aika Sajou and Epsilon are actually the same.
However, Aika Sajou wanted to establish herself as the sole leader, while Epsilon was thinking of leaving everyone else behind first, together with her sister.
"I don't know why, but something as secretive as tailing has become common knowledge." Sajō Aika sighed.
The prince possesses a remarkably keen intuition, so it's not surprising that he noticed the tracking.
However, as the number of people following the story increased, it began to develop in a completely different direction.
Kiyohime: "Weren't we originally a comedy duo?"
"..." x3
On the lawn not far away.
After the meal, Mochizuki Oboro tried out new skills on her phone.
Read-write (A++) can output information from the brain as photos, audio, text, etc.
"What are you doing?" Typhon gently rested his chin on Mochizuki Ryou's shoulder.
"I'll show you something," Mochizuki Oboro said, opening her phone's photo album.
The latest photo unsurprisingly took the top spot in the album, and its contents looked very familiar to Typhon.
—On the deck, Typhon leaned against the railing, gazing at the distant sea, his delicate profile revealed. A few meters away, Mochizuki Oboro held a paintbrush, his painting already halfway done.
It's still a third-person perspective. The two people are completely captured in the same frame.
Tifeng's eyes lit up as he incredulously took the phone from Mochizuki Oboro, zooming in and out to examine the photo that shouldn't exist in reality.
No one can resist a surprise.

"How did you do that? Are there any other photos?" Typhon asked excitedly, as if he had a tail sticking out of his back and would have been wagging it long ago.
Mochizuki Oboro gently placed her finger on the screen and continued typing.
The content covers everything from last night's game simulation to memories of Suizhi Town.
"Amazing!" Typhon exclaimed with childlike joy.
If we hadn't specifically chosen a secluded spot where we couldn't see anyone for dozens of meters around, the commotion would have drawn attention long ago.
"Your phone will do too." Mochizuki Oboro held out her hand: "Want it?"
"I want it!" Typhon blurted out the password without any suspicion: "715093, remember it for later."
One, two, three photos. Looking at the increasing number of memories in the photo album, Tifeng's mood soared like never before.
Read-write (A++) can output what you think in your mind as reality, directly linking it to the current mental image.
Therefore, if you get distracted...
With a flick of her finger, Mochizuki Oboro's phone displayed a photo that was completely unacceptable to censors.
It's a CG image of Typhon, with quantum particles on his face and body.
"..." x2
"I didn't do it on purpose, do you believe me?"
After all, it was the first time using the reading and writing skill, so some mistakes were inevitable.
“…Heh.” Typhon narrowed his eyes, the joy that had just been on his face completely vanished: “Believe.”
Tifeng certainly believed that Mochizuki Oboro wouldn't joke about something like that, but the girl's feelings were irrelevant to the facts.
"Delete it," Typhon ordered.
"Okay." Mochizuki Oboro quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Tiphon crossed his arms and said, "You must obey the requirements I am about to give you."
"Let me listen first," Mochizuki Oboro said honestly.
"Don't try that now!"
Tifeng grabbed Mochizuki Oboro's ear, his face flushed with embarrassment and anger: "First, from now on, whenever you use this ability, you must ensure that only you can see the phone screen! So that it can be deleted easily!"
“Okay,” said Mochizuki Oboro.
"Secondly, it can only be operated on your phone! This is to prevent other phones from recovering the data!!"
"can."
"Third, you are not allowed to send any restricted photos to anyone other than the person in question! Otherwise, I will unleash my full power on you!!!"
Seeing that Mochizuki had agreed to everything, Tsutsumi released his grip and let out a soft hum.
Considering the good intentions, let's stop here for now.
Based on the information obtained from the dream, Mochizuki Oboro's XP is extremely conservative and private, making it impossible for her to actively spread the virus. Otherwise, Typhon would have really used his Noble Phantasm to give her a Twelve Trials.
"Sorry. I was just spacing out for a moment."
Mochizuki Oboro continued to output some normal photos, and then returned the phone to Tsutsumi.
"..."
Taking the phone, Tifeng forced himself to look into Mochizuki Ryou's eyes, his face flushed red.
"?"
"In other words, you were just fantasizing about me."
“It was just a moment.” Wangyue k-yinqiuqiba 14 (7) Qsi (}5) Liulong did not deny it.
“I know. Otherwise, all the photos would be like those.”
My feelings were complicated. I was both annoyed and a little pleased—the guy in front of me wasn't a completely indifferent saint after all.
……
Sajo Aika put down her binoculars, her slightly agape mouth still wide open.
Although none of the four saw the impactful photo, they could tell from the conversation just how amazing Mochizuki Oboro's new ability was.
“I’m going to ask my brother for the photos when I get back,” Ipsilon said, covering her face. “But I’ll pass on the R-rated ones.”
"I always feel like something weird or strange keeps popping up around Mochizuki-kun every now and then," Meryl complained.
Kiyohime snapped her fan shut: "Isn't this great? Dreams can now be connected to reality."
The three of them discussed with great enthusiasm how to use this ability.
“Satiao? Are you spacing out?” Meryl asked.
"Hehe, hehehehehe..."
Sajō Aika was caught up in a strange frenzy: "If it could be exported as a video, I could use videos of myself and the prince as promotional material before the official production..."
"???" x3
Is this still human?
Chapter 153 Official Announcement Provocation (not really)
When using reading and writing, one must concentrate and ensure there are no distracting thoughts. This is a lesson learned at the cost of ear pain.
It took Mochizuki Oboro a full three minutes to coax Tifeng back to her senses—even though she wasn’t actually angry.
After spending the entire day at the botanical garden and zoo in School District 21, the two chose a familiar restaurant for dinner: Camelot.
It's quick to get there by subway, closer to the dorm, and I can even take some photos. Aside from the possibility of encountering some annoying creatures, there are no downsides.
"It's time to eat," Mochizuki Oboro reminded Tsutsumi Toyo, who was still typing away.
"Wait a moment."
Tifeng raised his phone, pointing it at the food on the table and the boy opposite him: "Strike a nice pose."
"Like this?" Mochizuki Oboro started with her signature move.
"Stop with your JOJO pose, be normal."
“I see.” Mochizuki Oboro activated the alternative plan.
"Even a scissor hand gesture is not allowed."
"Then I have no other choice." Banning boys from making the peace sign would ban 90% of their photo options.
Typhon gave the order directly: "Rise your chin with one hand and look at the camera with your face turned to the side. It's that kind of devilish look."
[Skills "Charm of the Source (C)" and "Floral Splendor (A)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
Now I'm satisfied.
Even in front of the glasses, her (future) boyfriend's charm didn't diminish in the slightest. Yes, she felt very proud.
My phone vibrated slightly.
When Mochizuki opened her screen, she saw a notification from a social media app.
Tiphon (Spatial Dynamics)
Today I'm spending time with my best friend~ @望月胧
(Nine-grid photo)
Best friend? Is this some new, trendy term? Mochizuki Oboro wondered to herself.
Others responded even faster, less than a minute after the post was published.
Epsilon: 111 I'm bringing my best friend along tomorrow too.
Arcueid: You don't look like a girl.
Sajō Aika: Are there still honest people?
Lilith: Does he know he's your best friend?
