Mochizuki Oboro then asked, "Class is about to start. Which class are you in?"
“That’s direct. But I don’t dislike it.” Lilith held up two fingers: “Grade 11, Class B.”
"I'm in Class A, right next door." Mochizuki Oboro put her notebook away. "Let's chat after class then."
Lilith said dismissively, "Just skip class. It's no big deal to miss a morning of classes. We get along really well, so it's good to go out and have some fun."
"Skipping class in the second week of school?"
“There’s no reward for being a good student.” Lilith stepped forward and grabbed Mochizuki Oboro’s wrist: “The bell will ring in two minutes. If there’s curfew then, you really won’t be able to get out. Don’t dawdle.”
Before Mochizuki could nod or shake his head, Lilith decisively grabbed him and ran out of the campus.
Faced with the power of the Servant, Mochizuki Oboro's resistance was futile.
Meanwhile, in the teaching building.
The embankment has turned red. In the literal sense.
Wang Yuelong often arrived at school on time, and sometimes Ti Feng, who arrived early, liked to stand by the window and observe when he would arrive.
Now, her future boyfriend has been brazenly lured out of school by some philandering cat, and it looks like he'll definitely be skipping class.
Tiphon was certain that the thieving cat was meeting Mochizuki Oboro for the first time, and the reason was simple:
—Lilith is Typhon's roommate.
Just as Tifeng was preparing to sprint out of the school, the preparatory bell rang right on the last minute.
To make matters worse, the homeroom teacher, Kenneth, had already stepped onto the podium, eliminating any possibility of any underhanded tactics.
"Everyone back to your seats. We'll wait for the students who haven't arrived yet."
……
Off campus.
Wang Yuelong's phone kept ringing.
Typhon: Speak!
Typhon: I saw you go out!
Lilith's phone is the same.
Tiphon: That's my boyfriend!
Typhon: What are you doing!
Looking at the text on the screen, Lilith smiled with pleasure.
"Is Typhon your girlfriend?" Lilith asked with a smile.
“The future should be like this,” Mochizuki Oboro replied, “We are currently in a period of adjustment.”
"Oh, I see. She texted you too, didn't she?" Lilith sighed. "She's so domineering. She's already so controlling even before we're together. I'm afraid we'll have to listen to her even if we have several children."
"It's alright. She's cute most of the time," said Mochizuki Oboro.
"What do you think of me?" Lilith suddenly leaned closer, standing slightly on her tiptoes.
Mochizuki Oboro honestly expressed her feelings: "You're cute too."
"What specific aspects?" Lilith pressed her advantage, her phone already recording.
"His facial features and figure are exactly my type. His personality... I'll probably agree as well."
As long as it's not too different from the game simulation, Mochizuki Oboro is quite happy to stay with Lilith.
"Thank you for the compliment~ And I've recorded it all." Lilith winked: "Don't worry, I won't send it to Typhon, I'll just keep it for my collection."
“It’s okay to send it to her. She knows my personality.” Mochizuki Oboro opened the input box: “I’ll reply to her first.”
Mochizuki Oboro: She dragged me out. I'll be back this afternoon.
Typhon: 1
"Typhon: You brought me three things, didn't you? I'll forgive you if you drink four blueberry drinks."
"I also need to make this clear, otherwise my roommate relationships will be very troublesome."
Lilith pulled out a chair and began tapping on the screen.
Lilith: I'll borrow this for a moment, I'll return it to you this afternoon.
Typhon: Don't drag him to skip class next time! We can talk after school!
The focus wasn't on her taking her prospective boyfriend away, but on dragging him to skip class... Lilith keenly sensed something was amiss.
Generally speaking, the real girlfriend would be saying really harsh things now.
Could Typhon's sexual fetish be...? Lilith shuddered and banished the possibility from her mind.
A date at 8:40 in the morning feels rather immoral.
The thought of Typhon still attending classes with a long face filled Lilith with excitement.
Oh well, I can't blame myself.
She only received the barrage of text messages after leaving the school; she had no idea he had any connection with Typhon before that.
"Although I would prefer to travel at a normal time."
Mochizuki Oboro looked at Lilith, who was sitting on the bench: "But since we're out here, let's do it your way."
[Romantic options unlocked]
Lilith: 20%

Chapter 90: Mechanism is More Important Than Numbers
Nine o'clock in the morning.
While the other students were still in class, Mochizuki Oboro was pulled out by Lilith and openly skipped class.
I'll definitely have to write a self-criticism when I get back, but it's best not to think about those frustrating things right now.
Starlight Cafe, School District 7.
Most cafes in Academy City offer both desserts and main dishes, and this cafe is no exception.
"Ah~ I think I understand. It seems you're quite similar to the so-called 'radio wave' type."
Lilith said cheerfully, "The reason you responded to Typhon is because she fits your definition of beauty, and the reason you were willing to come out with me is the same, right?"
“That’s right.” Mochizuki Oboro nodded. “However, I need to correct one point.”
"what?"
"I'm not a freak, I'm a scumbag."
"puff--"
Lilith couldn't help but laugh, and exaggeratedly clutched her stomach: "Then I'd say I'm a landmine type."
Mochizuki asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem? Doesn't having relatively close contact with multiple members of the opposite sex at the same time already meet the standard?"
Lilith wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes: "Birds can fly, moles can burrow underground, sharks can swim, and human personalities and values vary greatly. Isn't it incredibly stupid to limit yourself with worldly views?"
"...Are you trying to say that I'm not?"
"I didn't say that. What other people think is their own business, but at least I like you."
Lilith rested her cheek on her hand: "Your pursuit of so-called beauty extends to all your actions. Most people only see that you don't reject the opposite sex, but they don't see that your attitude towards scenery is the same."
As she spoke, Lilith extended her index finger and tapped the cover of Mochizuki Oboro's notebook lightly: "The paintings inside are good proof."
Mochizuki Oboro couldn't help but laugh: "You can understand me, your mental state isn't very good either."
"That's why we're a perfect match. So, how about we start dating?" Lilith lightly tapped the calf of the woman with the tip of her boot.
"You're quite interesting to be so bold on your first try."
No longer holding back, Mochizuki Oboro let loose and said, "I had two strange dreams, and you appeared in both of them."
Lilith leaned forward, asking with interest, "What? You're together?"
"Not entirely. I like your personality and your logic, and I didn't expect it to be the same in real life."
Sunlight streamed through the blinds, quietly illuminating the table. In the slanting beams of light, both of them could clearly see the particles moving within the rising coffee steam.
Mochizuki Oboro revealed her not-so-secret secret: "You can think of my ability as creating strange dreams, except that everything in them is out of my control. The protagonist of the dream can retain their memories, while the others who appear are left to chance."
Lilith nodded and said, "So my familiarity with you actually comes from those two dreams where I wasn't the main character?"
"That's about right."
"How about you dream about me being the main character tonight? I'd really like to try it out."
"That won't work. I'll activate it when the conditions are met."
……
Coffee shops, shopping malls, arcades.
They went to many places throughout the morning, but their main activity was actually chatting.
As noon approached, the sun finally began to show some of its power.
It would be terrifying in July or August, but it's mid-April now, so going out directly under the sun won't have much of an impact.
“How pitiful,” Lilith, who was resting against the railing, suddenly said.
"Who?" Mochizuki Oboro looked at the tips of her shoes.
“Typhon, the Saszczuk you mentioned, and Tralock. And many more guys I don’t know about.”
While she had just spoken of pitifulness, Lilith's tone was full of sarcasm: "People always feel uneasy without binding relationships with specific words and actions."
“I remember you also mentioned wanting to be lovers.” Mochizuki Oboro was quite looking forward to how Lilith would respond.
"Do you agree?"
"Like Typhon, let's talk about it in the future."
"It's okay, you can just refuse me directly."
Hearing this answer for the first time, Mochizuki Oboro was momentarily stunned.
"You won't feel sad or depressed?"
"Sometimes, no matter what the other person thinks, just having these feelings is enough to make you feel satisfied."
Lilith responded with a straightforward smile: "It's your right to say yes or no. Even if we're not lovers, we can still be just friends, right?"
In terms of pure personality and behavioral compatibility, she's even more suitable for you than Sajou, senpai.
[Sigh... does the Love Wars game update so quickly?]
In short, please make a choice.
[A: Agrees to become lovers.] (Physical experience +5, progress in the romance increases)
【B: Refuses to become lovers.】(Agility experience +5, progress in the romance increases)
【C: Establish a special relationship.】(Charm experience +5, progress in the romance event increases)
Time stopped for only a brief moment.
Mochizuki gazed into those emerald green eyes: "I like your voice, your appearance, and your personality."
"Are you about to issue the cards?" Lilith guessed, half-jokingly.
"Rather than lovers, I'd prefer you to be a companion right now," Mochizuki Oboro earnestly invited.
Lilith paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You don't mean...?"
"It's just what you think."
Mochizuki Oboro extended her hand: "So far, you are the only one who has tried to understand me."
Other people's attitudes and understandings are irrelevant.
Sajou Aika embodies acceptance and tolerance. Regardless of what Mochizuki Oboro likes or dislikes, she sees it all as motivation.
