“Probably two more times.” Lilith licked the essence off her fingers.
That's one of the advantages of being an alien; unlike human women on Earth, they don't have to convert energy internally to replenish their strength.
In other words, Lilith never has to worry about winning the lottery if she wants to. The mysterious set that separates life and death, which is very important to Mary and others, is just an occasional entertainment item for Lilith and Mochizuki Oboro.
【……Oh.】
I'm skipping this.
[That's right, I said before that I wouldn't skip it, but girls' feelings are so complicated and changeable.]
Meltryllis, looking displeased, pressed the skip button.
Reason: Mochizuki Oboro's Noble Phantasm was not released at the same pace as her broadcast.

Chapter 195 Shuten-dōji: Aren't you taking me with you?
Although they only serve as background elements, the so-called "energy of light" and "energy of darkness" created by Meltryllis also have some binding force—for example, magical girls and hateful alien invaders cannot coexist.
[Isn't a lighthearted, happy-ending comedy like BB good? But since I'm the newly appointed second-generation leader, I naturally want to do something different. The adversarial relationship based solely on stance is also a major characteristic of visual novels.]
In short, don't expect humans and magical girls to coexist with you this time. The right thing to do is to honestly eliminate their threat.
That's what Meltryllis said.
But looking at the disrespectful Shuten-dōji in front of him, Mochizuki Oboro felt that sometimes he didn't even need to lift a finger, and things would just inexplicably turn out this way on their own.
Roughly speaking, magical girls can be divided into two camps: Order and Chaos. Kallen is the representative of the Order camp, who will honestly do what she is supposed to do and try her best to make the world a better place.
The magical girls representing the Chaos faction are Merry and Shuten-dōji. These two are characterized by their utterly unrestrained nature, acting entirely according to their own whims and showing no regard for rules.
However, in this game simulation, Meryl also experienced the consequences of this style of behavior. She accidentally stumbled into a demon's lair and subsequently fell into evil.
But Shuten-dōji did not.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Mochizuki Oboro felt that whether this person was corrupt or not made little difference.
He has terrible interests, a awful personality, and does things his own way.
Describing him as willful is inaccurate. Shuten-dōji was the kind of guy who knew the rules of the world, but still acted according to his own personality.
[Skills "Charm of the Roots (C)", "Floral Blossoms (A)", and "Protagonist of the Underworld (EX)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
[Having been at the academy for less than a month, you've already become a well-known friend to women far and wide; both teachers and students enjoy talking and exchanging ideas with you.]
Your popularity is soaring thanks to your skillful negotiation techniques.
"Teacher...hehe, how about we just omit that title?"
Shuten-dōji skillfully locked the office door, a smile on his face: "I think these trivial, restrictive forms of address will only hinder the progress of our relationship."
“You can continue to call me ‘Master’ outside of school, but here, please abide by the school rules.” Mochizuki Oboro sighed. “Unlock the door. This isn’t just my office; there’s also Ms. Karen and Ms. Meryl.”
The purpose is achieved.
A famous person once said that one way to get a window opened is to pretend you're going to tear down the roof, and the other party will agree to give in.
Shuten-dōji used a little trick. Her initial plan was much more conservative, but now that she's almost officially launching it, it seems to be working reasonably well.
"As expected, Ms. Mochizuki is quite indifferent to this kind of thing."
Shuten-dōji clicked open the lock, revealing a mischievous smile: "See you after school. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"I just need your data," Mochizuki Oboro said truthfully.
"Today's persona is that of a researcher? No problem, I still need Mochizuki-sensei's private data for my research." Shuten-dōji licked his lips. "Get ready for that unique and special physiology class after school~"
After leaving behind a blatant and explicit statement, Shuten-dōji left the office nimbly.
What would you do if faced with a student who dared to challenge your authority?
[A: Agree to go, then give them a good beating.]
[B: Collect data step by step.]
[C: Take Shuten-dōji to the base for "re-education."]
While still making his choice, Mochizuki Oboro didn't notice that the already corrupted Merry's enthusiasm for such things far exceeded his imagination.
Installing listening devices in offices is just routine practice; more drastic measures are being implemented.
"Hello, I'm the Flower Sister~"
Suddenly appearing, Merry blocked Shuten-dōji's path: "Would you be interested in visiting Mochizuki-sensei's house?"
The idea that "just because you've been rained on, you should tear someone else's umbrella" doesn't apply to Mary now.
At least in Meli's mind, it was unparalleled pleasure. Once Shuten-dōji experienced it, he would naturally raise his legs obediently and surrender.
"Is your relationship really that special?" Shuten-dōji's eyes held a hint of seductive charm: "You can even share something like this without any reservations?"
Mary opened the parasol: "Words can't describe it. Why not experience it for yourself?"
Following the idea that "if the other party takes the initiative, it doesn't count as breaking the treaty," Meryl creatively forged a new path: taking matters into her own hands.
Despite her moral decline, Mary still enjoyed seeing others suffer and be embarrassed; this is what is meant by "old habits die hard."
"Since Teacher Meryl has extended such an invitation," Shuten-dōji chuckled, "wouldn't it be ungrateful of me not to go?"
I'll send a message to Mochizuki Oboro later, Shuten-dōji thought.
……
After school.
Inside the villa stronghold.
Lilith looked at the live research samples that Melly had brought over and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Is this some kind of spy among Earth's primates? So eager to please?
"I came because I heard there was a very exciting experience involved." Shuten-dōji looked around: "Why don't I see anything special?"
Lilith, still in her white lab coat, took a lollipop from her pocket and smiled, "You'll be experiencing it soon. Have some candy first."
There's still plenty of time; magical girl research samples delivered to our doorstep are a rare treat.
Even the eccentric and unique Mary resisted for a moment when she first heard that the research subject was herself.
But Shuten-dōji didn't give Lilith that feeling.
"Is there any wine?"
Shuten-dōji opened the refrigerator with an air of familiarity: "Looks like there is. And they're all things I like."
"Drink as much as you can," Lilith said, resting her chin on her hands and raising a slight smile. "We'll need to make sure you stay hydrated later."
[Lilith & Merry used their primal powers on Shuten-dōji!]
Shuten-dōji's appearance has changed.
When Mochizuki Oboro stepped into the villa base, Lilith and Meryl's "special game" had already been going on for a while.
"Ha~ Isn't Ms. Meryl too cunning, only saying this now?"
The only difference is that Shuten-dōji seems to have significantly greater endurance than Merry. This is also related to her powers as a magical girl.
But before the wielder of the holy sword Excalibur, these fortifications were practically useless.
As long as the protagonist's influence in the underworld remains, Shuten-dōji will have to obediently roll his eyes and stick out his tongue.

Chapter 196 Ilya Charges Forward
It’s too late.
H is to Gal what seasoning is to cooking; adding a little bit will make the flavor more delicious, but if you use too much, it may have the opposite effect.
For example, in "Flame Pregnancy," after unleashing the Noble Phantasm, it's difficult for players to continue reading the text. Even before unleashing it, they might have been holding down the Skip button and only watching the cutscenes.
"Beautiful Girl Kaleidoscope" is relatively moderate, with ample text and H-scenes. This kind of memorable storyline is more likely to leave a lasting impression on players.
Meltryllis's game simulation is somewhere between "Inflammation Pregnancy" and "Beautiful Girl Kaleidoscope." It's not entirely H-scenes, but the plot is also nonexistent.
Now, Mochizuki Oboro faces the emptiness and confusion that follows.
Having already fallen, Shuten-dōji fully embraced the nature of a demon, sleeping soundly and contentedly, treating Lilith and Mochizuki Oboro's stronghold as his own home.
Even Lilith didn't notice the difference between Shuten-dōji before and after his fall from grace.
"We don't need to worry about Meryl and Shuten-dōji." Lilith stretched her back. "Next, I'll trouble you to deal with the others. We just need their data."
Illya, Chloe, and Miyu are magical girls from the Order faction.
Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, and tiny dust particles floated aimlessly in the beams of light. The hands of the clock ticked away. In the distance, the sound of cars passing by could be heard.
What a busy Thursday.
After making the necessary preparations, you can officially set off.
[You are still unaware of the strength of Illya, Miyu, and Chloe as magical girls. Therefore, you intend to gather some information first.]
With Meryl's cooperation, Karen will be temporarily distracted and unable to detect anything amiss once night falls. Please act as you please within the time limit.
At dusk.
In Japanese folklore, dusk is also known as the "time of demons." It is the moment when the sun and moon meet, and it is also the peak time when demons appear or cause disasters.
After using "Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom (A)" to conceal her true identity, Mochizuki Oboro quietly followed half a step behind Mary.
As we all know, to lure the righteous protagonists out, provocation alone is not enough; some of the villains' dirty tricks must also be used.
For example, taking a hostage.
The stealth effect of concealing her true form allowed Mochizuki Oboro to approach Mary with ease, without making a sound.
Once Mary reached a secluded alley, Mochizuki Oboro swiftly attacked, covering Mary's mouth with her hand, using dark energy to tear open a spatial rift, and slipping inside.
Within a world of nothingness.
Mochizuki Oboro released her hand, and Mary, unsteady on her feet, stumbled and fell into Mochizuki Oboro's arms.
"Look into my eyes." Mochizuki Oboro reached out and put his arm around Mary's slender, soft waist, half-forcibly pinching her chin.
"Ms. Mochizuki?" Mary was dumbfounded. "What's going on?"
[Skills "Charm of the Roots (C)", "Floral Blossoms (A)", and "Protagonist of the Underworld (EX)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
One of the data Lilith requested to be collected was Mary's.
There are still several hours before the operation begins, enough time for evil to succumb.
"This is my own space. Just treat it as a fantasy story."
Mochizuki Oboro used dark energy to weave the necessary setup for the depraved act, "Sit on it, then take off your clothes yourself, don't get them dirty."
[Achievement unlocked: The Girl's Evil Intruder.]
[Achievement unlocked: Climber]
[Achievement unlocked: Taking the unconventional path.]
[Achievement unlocked: Two-way arrow.]
[The evil has been successfully corrupted.]
……
[You activated the effect of "Hundred Flowers Bloom (A)," concealing your true identity at the cost of one Command Seal.]
You call yourself "Evil Monster S".
[Core Talent - The Opposite of Light has been activated. You have strengthened your body with dark energy, preparing to spar with the magical girls.]
You have sent out a criminal warning.
It was exactly 10 p.m.
Academy City, District 10.
