Not long after, at the Chaldea Dining Hall.
“Cut! That’s a wrap.” Director Kazuradrop coughed lightly.
Tristan and Percival, appearing out of nowhere, fired a salute: "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations," Artoria said, her hands too full to speak. Her voice was muffled because her mouth was full of food.
“Ahhhhh…” Surprisingly, Lancelot in Berserker form didn’t bark wildly.
Cú Chulainn, Chiyome, and Medusa followed in the footsteps of their predecessors, surrounding Mochizuki Oboro in the center: "Congratulations."
Professor Rafe and Dr. Roman, who had miraculously revived from the dead, stood side by side, smiling and clapping. Adding the six from Group A, the place felt rather crowded.
The repeated "oh me" sounds almost made Mochizuki Oboro think she was cosplaying Shinji Ikari.
"Actors, settle your rewards here~" Kazuradrop called out, leading all the participating players away except for Mochizuki Oboro.
Meltryllis sat down lightly: "How are you feeling?"
"A massively multiplayer online role-playing game with excellent special effects," Mochizuki Oboro honestly commented.
“Starting from the next singularity, the difficulty will increase. Sending Meltryllis out this time is just a perk for the newbie village.” Meltryllis explained her plan: “I plan to divide the singularities into main story singularities and event singularities. As the names suggest, they will have different focuses.”
Mochizuki Oboro chimed in, "One leans towards a lighthearted approach, and the other towards a serious one?"
“The main plot isn’t very serious either; it all depends on the actors’ performances. I’m worried about whether the next female lead in the main plot can carry the show,” Meltryllis said with concern.
The first official singularity is in France, and the director has already signed the actors.
Joan of Arc, Kiyohime, Marie Antoinette, Elizabeth... Hopefully, they won't cause too much trouble.
"The female lead?" Mochizuki Oboro tilted her head. "Who?"
“It’s a secret. Knowing it in advance would ruin the immersion and sense of involvement,” Meltryllis said with a smile. “There’s still some time before the main storyline of the First Singularity officially opens.”
The next one to be activated is the Event Singularity.
June is fast approaching. Although it's still a while, the unique aspects of the swimsuit event can be launched now. Playing and having fun at the beach, overcoming minor challenges, and ultimately creating an unforgettable summer – that's Meltryllis's goal.
……
real world.
Feeling dizzy and disoriented, the Typhon sisters staggered a few steps before collapsing onto the sofa, unconscious.
While Mochizuki Oboro was progressing through the main storyline, they engaged in a tense and exciting Gundam battle in Greece. In the end, although Typhon and Epsilon worked together to win, their plane crashed as a result, and the style of the game shifted to a survival game on the sea.
Eri wasn't much better off. She teamed up with Tiamat and Reines to investigate a case in a castle called "Phoenix Cry Manor." During the investigation, she experienced a series of shocking incidents, and now she's very timid. The slightest disturbance will make her cry out in distress.
Arcueid and Ayaka Sajō teamed up to fight the Moon Grail War, successfully overcoming all obstacles and lifting the second Holy Grail.
Everyone had something to do. Meltryllis made it that way.
The subtle sound of the air conditioner running was not noticeable in the spacious living room. The cool air it blew out dissipated the heat generated by the game, and the layers of snow-white fabric stacked together were pleasing to the eye.
"Your Highness, look... Your Highness?"
Sajō Aika wanted to excitedly share her joy at obtaining the Holy Grail, but after looking around, she couldn't find Mochizuki Oboro in the living room.
What about people?
Based on her understanding of the person, Sajou Aika got straight to the point and entered the art studio nimbly.
Sure enough, the struggling artist who had just finished the main storyline had already mixed the paints and was painting the burning Fuyuki City.
He had experienced the beauty of magnificent, exquisite, and serene architecture, but he had never witnessed the beauty of imperfection like that of Singularity F.
A master once said that tragedy is simply breaking something valuable down and showing it to people.
Having witnessed firsthand the contrast between peace and devastation in Fuyuki City, Mochizuki Oboro wholeheartedly agreed with this statement. The stark contrast between the two Fuyuki cities in his mind, in particular, stirred his creative urge.
Tristan and Percival, who were originally portrayed as comedic characters, have also been given an artistic makeover, at least making them look more imposing like elite monsters.
Melsin, who drew her fairy sword, changed her usual style. Her figure on the canvas was quite heroic, and her movements were full of tension. She finally looked like a Servant.
There was also Director Olga Marie in the rear, and Cú Chulainn and Chiyome providing support on both sides of the battlefield.
"Isn't this a bit too fast?" Aika Sajou circled around behind Oboro Mochizuki: "We've only just come out."
"When I got off the plane, none of you had taken off your VR devices yet, so one person came to the studio first." Mochizuki Oboro finished her last stroke: "Did you have fun?"
Sajō Ayaka smirked: "Of course! Arcueid and I teamed up and fought a Holy Grail War on the moon, and we successfully obtained the Holy Grail!"
Like Mochizuki Oboro, Sajō Aika also noticed the "swimsuit event singularity" promoted by Meltryllis.
To be honest, she couldn't wait.
Chapter 233 Children's Day should be...
Youth. A word that resonates with the vast majority of people.
It is intertwined with the campus, as if youth is associated with beautiful sunsets, enjoyable club activities, sweating it out with friends, and a secret crush or first love.
School sports meets, school festivals, Christmas dances and other events are filled with a rosy glow.
Of course, depending on the server, campus activities may be slightly adjusted in some regions.
For example, the Kyushu region has a weekly quiz, a bi-weekly major test, and a tense monthly exam. Daily tasks are always conducted in the classroom, from 7 AM to 10 PM. It's comparable to the situation in South Korea.
But today is June 1st, Children's Day. Before we celebrate our youth, everyone has a unique childhood.
Although it would be difficult for the students of Finis Academy to use that term anymore, Principal Goldruff thoughtfully gave them a day off, allowing the high school students to revisit their childhood that would never return.
Many kindergartens have held joint activities to allow children to get together and enjoy the limited-time annual holiday.
School District 13.
Oboro Mochizuki, who arrived as a foundation volunteer, did not act as she pleased as usual, but instead teamed up with Karen and Jeanne.
The older sisters, who were very caring, were holding the snacks that the children loved, while the older brothers, who weren't particularly caring, were having a great time on their own.
The cool armor and dazzling special moves are irresistible to little boys.
That's right, it's Kamen Rider.
While shouting cringeworthy lines, Mochizuki Oboro struck a difficult pose, greatly satisfying her vanity.
“Joan of Arc, have you ever heard a famous saying in psychology?” Karen chuckled. “Although it’s partly a joke, I feel there’s some truth to it.”
The French village girl shook her head.
"Women's psychology and children's psychology exist in this world, but not many people are willing to study men's psychology. Why is that?" Karen handed the potato chips to Tong Yao.
"why?"
"Because all of a man's behaviors can be explained by the motivations behind them in child psychology."
Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc recalled the bizarre behavior of Mochizuki Oboro so far, and it seemed to make sense.
Karen opened a bag of snacks for herself, seemingly oblivious to everyone else: "The activities of the Service Club, working in Camelot, and a series of inexplicable incidents that seem to find their way to him—I have to say, his time management skills are outstanding."
……
The kindergarten founded by Chiron has been thriving recently. Money management guru Mochizuki Oboro donated a significant amount of money, greatly improving the quality of teaching and daily life at the kindergarten. Ryougi Enterprise also provided substantial sponsorship, completely ending their previous financial struggles.
The first thing to be increased was teachers' salaries. Miss Atalanta's monthly disposable income finally increased from 5000 QP to 10000 QP, and just looking at the five-figure salary made her feel very happy.
The Children's Day event, jointly organized by the 13th School District, did not haphazardly bring all the kindergartens together. Instead, it divided the event into many locations, allowing kindergartens to participate in small groups nearby.
"Sister, what's the next activity?" Jack's innocent face was full of anticipation. "Are there any more interesting performances?"
“It’s a magical girl performance,” Atalanta replied.
The aspiring magical girls, still in elementary school, will fully utilize their unique advantages as Servants to give the children a performance appropriate for their age.
"Yay~~" Upon hearing the word "magical girl," Jack excitedly ran off to find Nursery Rhyme.
Before long, Illya, Miyu, and Chloe, dressed in their new clothes, shone brightly on the stage.
According to their age, they should be spending Children's Day in the elementary school activity area, fully enjoying the fun of being spectators.
However, some birds are destined to never be caged, for every feather shimmers with the light of freedom. Rather than passively receiving, they prefer to actively give, to be the ones spreading joy.
The little girls cheered in unison, while the little boys were focused on the other side.
"Transformation."
Odysseus solemnly activated his belt, and futuristic armor gradually covered his entire body as he walked, eventually merging into a brand new Kamen Rider.
"Keep a close eye on these kids!" Mori Nagayoshi clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Such a coordinated performance doesn't happen every day!"
"I am the warrior who brings death! I will tear you apart with my indestructible blade!" Ma Si shouted his melodramatic line, eliciting cheers from the audience: "Henshin!!"
Including Mochizuki Oboro, who had changed into her gear early on, four Kamen Riders had already gathered on the stage (?).
"One more! One more!" The boys couldn't take their eyes off it.
The children of Academy City grow up in a technologically advanced environment, and they can tell at a glance that the special effects in those tokusatsu shows are just post-production composites.
But the live performance of the combined forces is a completely different story; the sense of awe is unparalleled.
Salieri couldn't understand why his wailing costume was included in the Kamen Rider lineup and required to perform on stage.
However, looking at the human cub with its shining eyes, Salieri couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Silence. Accept your impending death immediately."
Following the movement of the baton, the little kids obediently shut their mouths.
"Come, let the final melody resound!" Salieri spreads his arms: "The Lament Outfit!!"
"Oh wow!"
The magical girls' presence was completely overshadowed.
They didn't do any moves, just performed a group act, and yet they gained such high popularity... I don't understand.
However, Ilya would not give up so easily.
The competition between the boys and girls began. The only criterion for judging victory was the fervor of the children's cheers.
……
I am no longer a child.
If you ask why, Shuten-dōji has already entered junior high school and is currently in the second year of junior high school, where chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is rampant.
"(Chewing) Shuten-dōji, why did we come here?"
Holding a skewer of grilled meat, Ibaraki-dōji asked, puzzled, "Isn't this the kindergarten's activity area?"
Shuten-dōji said lightly, "I have a vague feeling that I might see something very interesting unfold."
I don't understand. But since it's Shuten-dōji's decision, I'll just have to see how it goes.
Ibaraki-dōji deftly finished off the kebabs and precisely tossed the wooden skewers into the trash can.
Not far away, the battle between the magical girl and the Kamen Rider reached its climax, with both sides displaying their unique skills and trying their best to attract the audience's attention.
Shuten-dōji raised his head slightly, feeling that the three people on the stage, including Illya, looked somewhat familiar.
Chapter 234 The Room You Can't Leave Without ■■
heat.
June, sun, leather case... Just putting these words together makes you want to hide in an air-conditioned room and have some iced watermelon to cool down.
After the performance, Mochizuki Oboro felt slightly unwell.
Performing difficult stunts while wearing an airtight suit would likely have collapsed for most people with weaker constitutions. Mochizuki Ryou's vision was a little unsteady, but she could still stand firmly.
"Did you suffer from heatstroke?" Karen asked.
Joan of Arc looked her over and said, "Even if it isn't, it's not much better."
Odysseus and Mashin were not affected, but Mochizuki Oboro's attempt to compare her physique with that of a Servant was overestimating her abilities.
"Perfect timing! I recently learned a new method for treating heatstroke." Karen smiled mischievously. "Come volunteer!"
Before Mochizuki Oboro could answer, Kallen, who was also a Servant, stepped forward, grabbed the Master who was in a debuff state, and carried him to the medical room with one hand.
