Ten minutes later, the focused Mochizuki Oboro finished the sketch.
The state of mental weakness has been resolved.
Having almost been eaten by a dangerous beast like today, Mochizuki Oboro had no experience in dealing with such a situation.
By the afternoon, almost all the women Mochizuki Oboro encountered respected his opinion.
Ipsilon, Sajou Aika, Typhon, Mary.
Tiamat too. When they were little, Mochizuki Oboro would always barge in under the pretense of helping with baths, but after the protests became too frequent, she stopped.
Tralock was the only exception.
Most of the time, reflecting on whether you have made mistakes because of other people's behavior is a pointless endeavor.
However, Mochizuki Oboro has indeed begun to reflect on her own actions.
"Ms. Sajou, what problems do you think I should correct? Don't hold back, just point them out."
"How could there be anything wrong with Mochizuki-kun? I love everything about you!"
That's exactly the answer.
Mochizuki Oboro rested her elbow on the table, her hand supporting her cheek as she conducted a self-examination.
"but……"
Sajō Aika touched her fingers together and gently rested them on her chin: "I would be very happy if Mochizuki-kun could give me some reward in time."
reward.
Is it similar to the behavior of couples? For example, holding hands.
"What reward is Ms. Satori referring to?"
"Go on a date. Hold hands and kiss."
Sajō Aika paused for a moment: "Besides that, I also want to feel Mochizuki-kun's body temperature. To listen to each other's heartbeats, to relieve each other's stress... Of course, what I want most is to merge with each other."
Mochizuki understood the problem.
As long as one is human, there will be all kinds of needs: appetite, sleep, sharing, and even lust.
Mochizuki Oboro was no exception. However, his way of relieving stress was by reading adult-oriented doujinshi.
Typhon and the others are probably in a similar situation. However, Tralock is very direct, while Ayaka Sajou will express her demands indirectly.
No matter who it is, the longer they suppress their emotions, the stronger they will erupt. Leaving aside Tralock for now, Ms. Sajou in front of us will definitely be even more terrifying.
To avoid that situation from happening, Mochizuki Oboro felt that he should perhaps take some measures.
Just as Mochizuki Oboro was brainstorming a solution, Sajou Aika lightly tapped the table, drawing his attention.
"I also have a few questions for Mochizuki-kun."
"Please say."
"Because dating requires spending a lot of time with your partner, so you don't want to be in a relationship for the time being, right?"
"That's it."
"But lovers can compromise with each other. Why not just do things that Mochizuki-kun likes together?"
"No, that's just accommodating me. My partner's hobbies and interests are just as important. Because I need to spend time with them, it takes up my energy."
The gaze, the tone, the words—it was all fake. Aika Sajou had figured it all out completely.
Blinking is about 0.03 seconds slower than normal, the volume is 7% lower than normal, and there is also an abnormality in the eyes.
During conversations, the prince would look into the eyes of his interlocutor, communicating directly with their soul through the window. Now, his gaze is merely fixed on his own pupils.
It's memorization.
Unlike mechanical memorization, the prince first convinced himself to accept the "rules" that were taken for granted in the secular world.
"That's not right."
Yue>+Yiqier③Ling④/JiuqishanI~V Sajo Aika revealed a triumphant smile, "Is this really the voice deep within Mochizuki-kun's heart?"
There are various subconscious thoughts in people's brains, which can manipulate the body and brain without the person being aware of them.
That's how it is with Mochizuki Oboro.
He is undoubtedly an "abnormal" person, but he is surprisingly normal when it comes to love—which is itself a manifestation of abnormality.
I have to thank Tralock for this.
If it weren't for her, Ayaka Sajou wouldn't have been able to gather so much information tonight and open the door to victory.
"My inner thoughts?"
Mochizuki Oboro was puzzled: "I wasn't lying."
“Of course not.” Sajou Aika said with a light laugh, “After all, the first person Mochizuki-kun deceived was himself.”
"If I am lying, then please tell me the truth, Ms. Sajou."
"Of course. I will obey all of Mochizuki-kun's instructions."
Not right.
The newly acquired skill "Intuition (D)" is now active.
Despite believing there was nothing wrong, Mochizuki Oboro had a bad feeling.
It felt like my heart was about to be completely peeled away by Ayaka Sajou.
The executioner ascends the execution platform.
There's no escaping it now.
"Mochizuki-kun loves beauty; it's an instinct ingrained in his bones, and all other rules and principles must give way to it. The abnormal ones who pretend to be normal... we're the same in that respect, it's practically a match made in heaven."
The first cut hasn't even been made yet; it can only be considered a warm-up at best.
Sajō Aika stretched out her leg under the table and hooked it around Mochizuki Oboro: "Love is the same. The so-called equality, companionship, and respect are all ideas instilled by society."
What is she saying?
Why can't I understand it?
"Mochizuki-kun has only one rule for his lover: 'collectibles.' As long as they meet the standard of 'beauty,' nothing else matters. Those concepts of companionship are things that are subtly instilled in him."
Seeing that Mochizuki Oboro had no reaction, Sajou Aika became even more certain of her thoughts.
Tralock? Stole her first kiss?
I have now uncovered everything that even the prince himself was unaware of!
"Come, Mochizuki-kun, there's no need to feel ashamed or resistant, because I will accept everything about you."
Sajo Aika pressed her advantage, taking Mochizuki Oboro's hand and holding it tightly, their fingers intertwined, their eyes filled with a strange fervor.
After enduring so much, it can finally reveal its true form.
"I am your collectible. If you'd like, I'll help you collect them all. All you have to do now is nod."
The devil is whispering.
[Congratulations, senior. Your true form has been revealed, albeit tragically and spectacularly.]
[A: Accept.] (Strategy progress greatly increased. Constitution experience points +20)
【B: Sophistry.】(Agility Experience +1)
[C: Deny.] (No reward)
【D: Poor Yin Qiliuyi ③ (II) Erjiu Er struggled. He answered personally.】 (???)
Chapter 73 I am scum
"Thank you, Ms. Satō, for making me realize this."
"You're welcome~ So, what's your answer, Mochizuki-kun?"
"Both sides are the real me."
"……Eh?"
Sajou Aika's gaze became vacant.
"What drives me has always been the desire to witness more beauty, but I just didn't realize that it's the same in love."
Mochizuki Oboro replied, "But this is the 'purpose' of the pursuit, while what I previously held was the 'attitude' of the pursuit. The two are not contradictory."
Making time to be with your partner, caring about their feelings and health, and taking a deeper approach to sex are all important attitudes when interacting with your lover.
Liking someone's appearance, personality, or behavior is the reason for pursuing them, and has nothing to do with how you treat them.
"What does Mochizuki-kun mean?"
"First of all, I would like to thank Ms. Sajo for pointing out a motive that I myself was not aware of."
"You're welcome."
"Secondly, I want to thank Ms. Sajo for making me aware of the consequences of my actions."
In the pursuit of beauty, Mochizuki Oboro will inevitably interact with her target.
What if the other person develops romantic feelings because of this?
That's right. Regardless of the motive, I did stir up the other person's emotions, and that's undeniable.
in other words--
"I'm scum," Mochizuki Oboro declared with a smile.
Sajo Aika was speechless.
Is the prince acting strangely?
"The reason I've chosen not to date right now is simple. It's just too much trouble, and it would shorten the time I have to find beauty."
Mochizuki Oboro further argued: "But in the process of pursuing beauty, I might make the other person want to fall in love—if you flirt and then don't take responsibility, aren't you a scumbag?"
I am scum.
With the argument concluded, Mochizuki felt completely relieved.
It felt as refreshing as putting on new underwear on the first day of the new year.
Once you accept your own weakness, you are invincible.
"But it is irresponsible behavior after all, and it cannot be called beautiful. It is contradictory to do ugly things while pursuing beauty."
Mochizuki Oboro crossed her arms and fell into thought: "If someone wants to develop a romantic relationship with me, besides telling her these things directly, I should also think of some ways to deal with it."
“I have a suggestion.” Sajō Aika clapped her hands lightly: “Since accumulating desires isn’t good, then Mochizuki-kun should just be a good helper in fulfilling their desires.”
"What does Ms. Satou mean?"
"To get together = to be a couple, but a couple = trouble, right? In that case, as long as we don't get together, it won't violate Mochizuki-kun's principles."
"I'm such a genius," Sajou Aika thought with satisfaction.
There are many ways to play without combining them. Although it certainly can't compare to the main course in terms of comfort, it's still passable.
"That's still illegal behavior, there's no fundamental difference, I think..."
"Would Mochizuki-kun like to experience today's events again?"
Sajo Aika said with a smile, "Let me state in advance that I probably won't be able to hold out for more than a few days."
This is a threat.
They either agree or they'll be attacked in a few days.
There won't be anyone to save the day then; the only way to retain your magician status is to use Command Seals.
Using Command Seals for something like that... is a bit of a waste.
Mochizuki Oboro always compromised. He would definitely refuse to go watch the tide directly, but if you said he would eat people if he didn't watch the tide, he would be willing to compromise.
Compared to directly losing their descendants, fulfilling their desires seems much more benign.
More importantly, since the love was born of oneself, it would be contrary to one's own principles to take no responsibility at all.
Under Ayaka Sajou's extremely aggressive gaze, Oboro Mochizuki nodded.
