This attraction is like an irresistible poison, or more like an instinctive craving of the soul, unrelated to external factors.
If the aura emanating from Mochizuki Oboro grows stronger, Mary isn't confident she can remain unmoved.
It must be admitted that Typhon was indeed influenced by Mary's words.
Predictive dreams are never wrong. Since they're both future lovers anyway, why not make a move now...?
No!
Typhon shook his head violently. He was to decide his own love life.
...But Mary also has a point.
Let's compromise. I'll make my move after my boyfriend's assessment is over.
A moment later, on the way to the classroom.
Typhon spoke casually:
"You work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, right?"
"Yes."
"I'd like the commission to officially begin tonight. Do you have any other plans?"
"No."
“Then it’s decided.” Typhon made the decision: “Come wait for me downstairs at the women’s dormitory at six o’clock tonight.”
This is a declaration of sovereignty.
Goodbye, weak me!
……
Meanwhile, in Class C of Grade 11.
Ipsilon felt an itch on her back.
Caster slumped listlessly on the table: "Why do we have to keep going to school even though we've become Servants? Why can't we just go to work?"
“That’s right.” Ipsilon nodded in agreement. “The calculation device called Trismegistes has been analyzed. I can be in charge of generating electricity from now on. I only need to work one hour a day.”
Then I spent all my time with my seniors.
Epsilon's Noble Phantasm and skills are exactly the same as her sister Typhon's; both are Servants who control lightning and possess immense destructive power.
If this power were used for power generation, Epsilon would only need to unleash his Noble Phantasm once to provide enough electricity to power a city for a long time.
This is just the most basic employment guide; the Calculating Device Trismegistes also offers a wide variety of other suggestions.
It's fair to say that Servants are the least worried about finding employment, and it's quite reasonable that Ypsilon and Castor are bored with their studies.
Abigail, sitting in the front row, turned around and explained:
"I heard that the management and use of Servants' abilities are still under discussion. In order to avoid causing harm, Servants who are still in school need to receive guidance on their values and behavior."
Castor replied with a pained expression, "I understand, but I still really want the freedom to move around."
Ipsylon said listlessly, "I really want to be in a relationship..."
"Huh? A relationship?" Abigail stared blankly. "I remember you transferred here less than a week ago."
“The depth of love has nothing to do with time,” Ipsilon said seriously. “You’ll understand me when your heart flutters.”
"Haha... I hope so." Abigail smiled politely.
There are still nearly twenty minutes before class starts.
Epsilon said mysteriously, "Want to talk about some urban legends?"
“It’s terrifying,” Castor demanded.
“Okay,” Abigail readily agreed. “What shall we talk about?”
"Late-night TV shows that are very popular recently."
Ipsilon held up one finger: "It's said that if you stare at the TV screen at midnight, you can see another version of yourself."
It's supposed to be for late-night TV, but actually any large reflective object will do, including bathroom mirrors, clean large glass windows, etc.
“It’s true,” Caster said earnestly. “We tried it in our dorm yesterday.”
Castor didn't work, Epsilon didn't change either, Kiyohime changed her hair color and eyes, but the legendary "persona" didn't appear.
The only exception is Draco.
She has two personas. One is Draco in his loli form, and the other is a goofy persona who calls himself "Nero Claudius."
“Actually, I have one too.” Abigail looked away.
Abigail shares a room with Eri, Reines, and Medea. In addition to Abigail herself, Medea also possesses a Persona.
However, Abigail's Persona focuses on the reversal of her personality, while Medea's Persona is more like her grown-up self.
"What was it like?" Castor asked curiously. "My roommate was so embarrassed after switching back that he wouldn't tell us no matter how much we pressed him."
Abigail covered her face with her hands: "Let Medea talk. My Persona is pretty embarrassing too."
She really didn't want to think about how she acted like a bad girl last night.
Whether it's the main personality or the persona, they are essentially different facets of the same person, and therefore the memories are shared.
Medea, who was secretly eavesdropping, was thus dragged into the mess by her good friend.
"It feels quite subtle. It's clearly me, but my personality and logic are completely different from who I am now..."
Medea's lips twitched: "No need to be envious. I think it's better for you people who don't wear masks, at least you don't have to feel ashamed afterward."
"Will the Persona take over control of the body?" Epsilon pressed.
Abigail, who advocates the "good kid" model, says, "According to Professor Leonardo da Vinci, the essence of the Persona is the repressed 'shadow' within, which requires peaceful communication; otherwise, there is a risk of it getting out of control."
"I'm doing a bit better on my end; the other one is pretty easy to talk to." Medea sighed, "I should have known better than to go watch that late-night TV show..."
Chapter 57 Fruit Dragon, Attack!
5:35 PM, male dormitory 514.
"Look what I got!"
Charlemagne took out his phone: "Two KFC 100 QP vouchers!"
"Speaking of which, today is Thursday." Karna took off his sunglasses: "It's time for the usual KFC."
Mandicardo pulled a whole case of MAX coffee from under the bed, ready for anything.
Charlemagne and Karna are both members of the sports club and have a large appetite, while Mandicardo and Mochizuki Oboro are within the normal range for boys. Therefore, they would order a huge amount of food during their crazy time every Thursday.
"Two set meals, a whole Original Recipe Chicken, the new hummus... see if you want anything else." Charlemagne placed his phone on the table.
Mochizuki Oboro suddenly spoke up: "I have to go out later, so I won't be participating in this week's Crazy Time."
"Going out? Boy or girl?" Charlemagne scratched his head.
Mandicardo opened his usual MAX coffee, took a sip, and said, "Girls. It's a matter for the Service Department."
“Then we need to make some preparations.” Karna picked up his sunglasses again and put them on. “Do you really want to go out with this bare face?”
"It's rare to be invited by someone of the opposite sex, so I can't leave a bad impression no matter what."
Charlemagne flashed her pearly white teeth: "Although we're not masters, we can still manage with a little makeup."
And so, Mochizuki Oboro was tied up in front of a makeshift dressing table without any explanation.
Charlemagne used his Paladin Emperor skill to provide a boost, while Karna's Uncrowned Martial Arts were equally formidable.
The remaining steps are—
"Unleash Magic (Light/Flame)!" x2
"Why don't you just use your Noble Phantasm to do your makeup?" Mandecard thought to himself.
[The additional attributes have received a temporary boost]
[Charm: D→C]
……
5:50, women's dormitory building.
A boy wearing headphones stood quietly by the flower bed. Girls passing by couldn't help but slow down and stare at the boy's appearance, either directly or discreetly.
Her short, dark blue hair, with side bangs that just covered her left eye, and her features were undeniably striking.
The single magnetic gold earring is quite daring and not everyone can pull it off, but on him it creates a contrast with his hair color, highlighting a unique and unconventional style.
Although light makeup also plays a positive role in enhancing one's appearance, it cannot be denied that it is indeed very versatile.
What's most unique is his indescribable aura; everyone can't help but want to get close to him and interact with him.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Ti Fong rubbed her hair shyly, her face also wearing light makeup.
"No, I just arrived." Mochizuki Oboro took off her headphones.
Arriving early before the agreed time, or at least not keeping the other person waiting, is basic social etiquette.
"If a guy wears makeup on a date, he absolutely, absolutely likes you."
"If he can still remember your preferences and treats you sincerely, you might as well give it a try."
The words of the renowned relationship counselor Gamo seemed to echo in Typhon's ears.
It was a side-swept fringe that covered her eyes. That day in the Service Department, Typhon remembered mentioning that he preferred this hairstyle.
The difference between a man wearing makeup and not wearing makeup is very obvious; Tsutsumi could spot Mochizuki Ryou's change at a glance.
Everyone feels warm inside when they are treated with respect, and Typhon is no exception.
Although she didn't express it verbally, the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her inner thoughts.
[Strategy Progress Updates]
Typhon Ephemerus
[33%→35% (Friend Stage)]
Side Quest Progress
[Tifeng's Boyfriend Test: 19%]
Even though it's difficult for them to make eye contact directly at school, under the influence of the atmosphere at this moment, Tsutsumi naturally took Mochizuki Ryou's hand and took steps like a real couple.
“Let’s go. There’s a place I want to go,” Typhon said softly.
They've already moved things forward before it's even officially started... Can makeup really have that much of an effect?
I should bring back a few drinks to thank them. Mochizuki Ron thought.
"What is the destination?" Mochizuki asked.
“Camelot Entertainment Center,” Typhon replied briskly. “I’ve heard it’s one of the top entertainment venues in Chaldea, where everyone can find their own enjoyment.”
The upper floors of the card and board game club are for adults, but students also have their own fun: an arcade, a board game area, and a highly-rated restaurant.
The first step in cultivating him into the perfect boyfriend is to examine his strengths and weaknesses, and then provide targeted guidance.
Since it was an investigation, Typhon felt it was necessary to collect detailed behavioral data.
What does the other person like to eat? What do they like to do? Do they have any habitual actions?
If it's just a fast-food romance, then all of these things can be ignored, since we're just temporary passersby who are only infatuated with each other's physical appearance.
But Typhon is a conservative. In her mind, first love = boyfriend = husband = father of her children = old man, there are no other possibilities.
Although I trust my precognitive dreams, considering the decades we'll be spending together, it's still better to try to be as compatible as possible.
……
School District 15, Camelot Recreation Center.
Entrance to the all-ages game hall.
Mordred, who had nothing to do, was spacing out.
