"Beautiful things."
No lies.
"If we deal with all the other masters and servants, will you then target Eri Se?"
"will not."
He was also not lying and was in a great mood.
Kiyohime leaned forward slightly, and the faint fragrance touched Mochizuki Ryou's olfactory nerves.
Then, Kiyohime gripped Mochizuki Oboro's wrist tightly: "Let's start dating!"
[You chose to relapse into your old ailment: painting.]
Eri and Artoria arrived at the park together and chatted idly a short distance away. Kiyohime, meanwhile, acted as your model, keeping pace with your steps.
After finishing my painting to my heart's content, the morning was drawing to a close.
[You and Artoria returned home for lunch, and you explained to the other two about the alliance you had formed with Eri.]
The wind still swept away the clouds.
After lunch, Ayaka Sajou stretched wearily: "Saber, do you want to take a nap together later?"
"Shall we relax this afternoon?" Artoria nodded in agreement. "Since neither of us is pursuing the Holy Grail, it's fine to be a little more carefree."
“Then let’s go replenish our mana.” Kama said this in a serious tone, uttering an extremely vulgar statement.
Upon hearing this word, Artoria seemed to have developed PTSD: "Please make sure you two set up a soundproof barrier, otherwise I won't mind using the Holy Sword to spoil the fun."
Upon hearing this, Kama went behind Artoria and began massaging her shoulders: "The stirring of the holy sword can actually be quite corrupting, you know. Why don't you try it with me?"
"I think you should try my Holy Sword first. If you can withstand a Noble Phantasm with your face, then I might consider it." Artoria was speechless.
"Go do what you need to do, don't bother Saber."
After saying that, Sajou Aika separated the two Servants, preventing a potentially pointless argument.
Mochizuki Oboro put down her teacup: "Every time you say you need to replenish your mana, you have almost no mana left. But my mana supply shouldn't have that problem... Where have you been spending your mana?"
"Prepare for a surprise."
Kama said ambiguously, "You'll find out when the time comes. In any case, the magic power will definitely not be wasted."
Sajō Aika also unusually spoke up for Kama: "That's true. Prince Kama will probably find out by the end of the Holy Grail War."
"hope so."
Mochizuki Oboro did not dwell on this issue.
On a cold winter day, even indoors, one can't help but feel a bit chilly.
The afternoon is the warmest time of day. Snuggling into bed after a meal is the ultimate indulgence, and if you can take a comfortable nap, then the day is truly complete.
Once a person relaxes, they will quickly slide into the abyss of laziness, and the King of Knights is no exception.
Do Servants also get dizzy from carbon monoxide poisoning? Artoria didn't know, but she really wanted to sleep.
Lying in the same bed feels strange; it seems to really deepen the relationship between us.
"You can't tell when she's wearing armor, but Saber has a pretty good figure."
Sajou Aika restlessly felt Artoria's curves and said enviously, "It's so nice. I wish I could be like that."
Caught off guard, Artoria swiftly rolled up the blanket and wrapped herself tightly: "Please don't joke like that."
"Isn't it normal for girls to talk about this?" Aika Sajo crossed her arms: "Quickly put the blanket down, it's so cold."
"Promise not to touch me first." Artoria blushed. "I'm not used to being touched like that."
“Okay. But you’ll get used to it.” Ayaka Sajou raised the white flag.
"I'll never get used to it!" Artoria made up her mind never to sleep with Ayaka Sajou again.
the other side.
Contrary to the expectations of the other two, Mochizuki Oboro and Kama have not yet begun their activities.
As an "invisible being," Gaura can freely change his appearance. This ability not only confuses enemies in battle but also provides a variety of enjoyable experiences in physical close-range combat.
Specifically, at this moment, Kama switched from her default older sister form to her teenage girl form.
Kama pinched the hem of her skirt: "Today I'm wearing a maid outfit~ Master, would you like to try something new?"
"Now that you mention it, I think I have a new idea."
Mochizuki Oboro took out the notebook and drawing pencil that Kama least wanted to see. There was no particular reason, but every time she took them out, it would take at least ten minutes, but by then Kama was usually already impatient.
"If you find waiting boring, then install this."
Mochizuki Oboro tossed Kama a pink "detonator," while she herself held the button.
"Endurance challenge? That's nothing to me."
Kama smiled confidently, having successfully completed the installation.
Eighteen minutes later.
After finishing the colored drawing, Mochizuki Oboro tore it out of the notebook, stuffed it into the drawer as usual, and handed it to Sajou Aika to handle.
When it comes to embarrassing oneself, Kama almost never disappoints Mochizuki Oboro.
Are you satisfied with this?
Kama's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was struggling to hold on.
Mochizuki Oboro walked to Kama's side, squatted down, and pulled up her stockings.
The white silk stockings on Kama didn't give her an innocent look at all; instead, they made Mochizuki Oboro want to tease her.
Of course, it already has the Water Element enchantment applied.
You selected "Remove the detonator".
The game simulation feels like watching dynamic CGs; you don't actually experience anything. It even thoughtfully provides a countdown timer before pulling the trigger, which is very typical of Gal games.
Kama tucked his hair behind his ear and opened his mouth.
Having not missed a single day of the activities in the previous six days, the initially inexperienced Cupid, who could only be suppressed by Mochizuki Oboro, has also mastered many techniques. Although she still has to cry when she needs to, at least she can put up some resistance.
After drinking the "magic," Kama sat on the edge of the bed, tossed aside the water-soaked core defense line, and extended an invitation to a duel.
Mochizuki Oboro began to cooperate and start collecting animated CGs.
After five new CG cutscenes, BB thoughtfully provided a countdown timer for the Western duel.
【10, 9, 8...】
[The gun attack has hit. Kama was hit in a weak spot and fell to the ground with a single shot.]
Kama gripped the bedsheet resentfully: "Why do you always have such a blank expression? It hurts my pride."
Mochizuki Oboro pressed her hand on Kama's lower abdomen: "Because I really don't feel anything."
"No, don't press there before it comes out—"
It's too late.
Mochizuki Oboro has unlocked a new CG.
[The skill "Ultimate Regeneration" has been activated.]
You chose to "reject Kama's pleas for mercy."
After half an hour.
It's truly disgraceful that a being who governs love and desire has been reduced to such a wretched state by a mere human—though it always happens this way.
Mochizuki Oboro removed Kama's blindfold. As he expected, Kama's pupils were rolled upwards.
That is, Ahegao, who doesn't respond no matter how you try to get a response.
Just as Mochizuki Oboro was wondering if he had gone a bit too far in trying to unlock the CG, the second Kama silently locked his hands from behind.
"I didn't intend to get serious. That was just an avatar of mine. You didn't really think you could defeat me, did you?" Kama licked Mochizuki Oboro's earlobe.
The third Kama appeared in the form of a young girl: "This time I must make a deep impression on you, otherwise you will really think that I am the weak one."
"How much exactly can you give?" Mochizuki Oboro retorted, "A kid who calls for backup when he can't win?"
[The skill "Ultimate Regeneration" has been activated.]
A light drizzle began to fall indoors. Raindrops landed on the blooming flower stamens, making a soft, moistening sound.
Gradually, the rain intensified, and the petals, unable to withstand the pressure, scattered and lay in the muddy puddles, no longer possessing their initial beauty and self-satisfaction.
When the rain stopped, not a single flower could stand proudly on the branch.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Mochizuki Oboro stretched out Kama's cheeks like kneading dough, counting his clean, white teeth.
"You only won against four clones, don't get too cocky."
Because his cheeks were being pinched, Kama's words were somewhat muffled.
The clones had all been recalled, and only Mochizuki Oboro and Kama remained in the room, but the remaining traces still indicated the intensity of the previous battle.
"So they were all clones. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought there was the real person inside," Mochizuki Oboro said, feigning ignorance.
Kama clicked his tongue.
The one who lost consciousness first was Kama herself; she only created a clone in the instant before her consciousness blurred.
But such a truth was too shameful for her to admit.
"It's 4:30. After you take a shower, it's time to eat."
“Okay, let’s go together then.”
A faint smile played on Kama's lips. She had another idea for how to make Mochizuki Oboro beg for mercy.
After a while.
You chose the "bathroom counterattack."
……
The sun has set; it is now nighttime.
"Why didn't she come over for dinner?" Sajou Aika turned on the TV and looked curiously at the empty seat next to Mochizuki Oboro.
"Being less skilled than others, I diligently studied theoretical knowledge in my room. But it was mostly useless."
Mochizuki then asked, "Any new developments this afternoon?"
Artoria shook her head: "No. The first day is almost over, but I still haven't sensed any other master or servant's presence. It's strange."
The television was broadcasting a news program; it was local news from Fuyuki City.
The female announcer seized the opportunity during a break in the conversation between Mochizuki and the other two to broadcast the next message.
"In recent days, many citizens have reported feeling slightly weak. Although no one has fainted as a result, experts say it may be due to a lack of moderate exercise during the winter. They recommend that citizens take walks regularly."
Mochizuki picked up a chicken wing: "Saber, what do you think?"
"Suspicious. All unusual phenomena that occur after entering the Holy Grail War should be taken seriously."
Artoria calmly put the rest of the chicken wings into her bowl: "Let's investigate together tomorrow."

Chapter 81 I am the one who is ______
The Holy Grail War, Day Two.
The area affected by the weakness syndrome covers most of Fuyuki City, making it no easy task. While not quite like finding a needle in a haystack, it's not far off.
"No clue."
Mochizuki Oboro said, "This kind of barrier is more like an indiscriminate life absorption device, and is mostly similar to a Servant's Noble Phantasm."
"The absorption rate is extremely low, only causing slight weakness. To compensate for the insufficient magic absorption, a strategy covering most of the city was adopted."
Artoria crouched down, carefully sensing the atmosphere around her.
