Castor and Bavanshi might be worth a try, but it's safer to continue chatting with Ipsilon.
Inside the park in Suizhi Town.
The light on a full moon night seems brighter, enough for Ipsilon and Mochizuki to see each other's clothes and features clearly.
"I'm so tired after class. Is there anyone who can give me a massage?" Ipsilon moved closer to Mochizuki Oboro.
"Is this okay?" Mochizuki Oboro cooperated and did as instructed.
"Press a little harder. Massage your neck and shoulders more."
On her first day working at the dessert shop, Ipsilon was indeed quite tired; she felt her skin had become a little stiff.
Difeng, who was behind the bushes, scoffed.
Castor cast a pitying glance at him.
[Your core talent "Growth Potential A" has been activated. Your massage skills are gradually improving.]
Ipsilon narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed contentedly, "Brother learns things really fast. He wasn't very good at massage at first."
"Please give me a five-star review," Mochizuki Oboro said in a serious tone.
"Do you have any hidden services?" Ipsilon chuckled, picking up the conversation. "Like a lap pillow?"
"I don't mind. But it's definitely not comfortable to sleep in."
Men and women have different body fat percentages, and the most significant difference is in how they feel to the body.
A girl's lap pillow usually feels soft, but if the genders are reversed, it will mostly feel uncomfortable because it is too bony.
"It's ok."
Without a word, Ipsilon lay down and unlocked the unique pillow.
Tiphon: #######
"What kind of girls is your brother interested in?" Ipsilon asked curiously.
Mochizuki Oboro smoothed the girl's bangs: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Let's listen to the lies first."
"Whether someone is gentle or not doesn't matter; the most important thing is that they can understand my interests and hobbies. Since I often do some inexplicable things, I also need my partner to be tolerant."
"Is this a lie? Then what is the truth?"
"Beauty. That's the only requirement."
Instead of criticizing or blaming, Ipsilon took Mochizuki Oboro's hand and placed it on his cheek, revealing a sly smile:
"So, do I meet my brother's requirements?"
Tiphon: ...
Castor: (In awe)
Mochizuki Oboro gently stroked Ipsilon's cheek with her fingertips: "It matches."
Whether it's appearance, personality, or behavior, as long as one of them conforms to the criteria in Mochizuki Oboro's mind, that person is someone he's interested in.
"Then, what about my sister?" Ipsilon suddenly asked a question that caught everyone present off guard.
Tifeng: ?
Castor: (Dementia)
"It matches perfectly."
Ipsilon puffed out her cheeks, feigning displeasure: "If you said, 'I'm only interested in you,' you could win me over right away, wouldn't you?"
"I don't really like lying."
Regardless of morality, law, or any other factors, it's simply that the "hypocrisy" inherent in lies doesn't conform to Mochizuki Oboro's definition of beauty.
The casual chat under the moonlight lasted until almost eight o'clock.
……
After watching Ipsilon step into the house, Mochizuki Oboro turned and walked towards the shrine.
8:05 AM is not early in Suizhi Town.
The vibration coming from her pocket drew Mochizuki Oboro's attention to her social media.
Typhon: I followed you all tonight... I heard everything you said.
"Mochizuki Oboro: Aren't you home yet? I'll take you home."
Typhon: Huh? Why are you focusing on that?
"Mochizuki Oboro: It's not safe for a girl to go out alone at night, especially in a tourist town like Suizhi."
Tiphon: I'm home now. (Photo)
Mochizuki: That's good.
Typhon: If you really want to pursue me, I might give you a chance.
...Who asked you?
Mochizuki Oboro: Is this really okay?
Typhon: My sister kept it from me, and I kept it from my sister—isn't that fair? Tomorrow you can stay with Epsilon until 7:30 at the latest, that's settled. See you then.
Caster, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected Typhon to be this type... Master, maybe you really are the male protagonist from those kinds of works?"

Chapter 37 The Wild Boar Princess Will Eventually Be Tried
The following morning, you arrived early at your maternal grandfather Li Shuwen's place for your training.
It is said that my maternal grandfather was highly accomplished in martial arts, especially in boxing and spear fighting.
[Your grandfather's plan for you consists of two parts: physical fitness and martial arts. Although he's not particularly skilled in swordsmanship, it's enough to guide you in fighting monsters.]
[You, wielding a wooden sword, begin training with your unarmed grandfather.]
The core talent "Growth Potential A" has been activated.
[Your comprehension speed is incredibly fast, even surprising your grandfather. But faced with a difference in skill level spanning decades, you were still easily defeated.]
Running, push-ups, battles... It took you a full two hours to get back to the shrine's backyard after waking up at 5:30 in the morning.
burnt out.
Mochizuki Oboro lay on the floor, striking a classic pose resembling a flower of hope.
"How was the first day of training?" Caster reached out and pinched Mochizuki Oboro's cheek.
"I'm going to die. My bones are creaking and my muscles are killing me," Mochizuki Oboro said, burying her head in her arms, her voice muffled.
Breakfast was ready, but Mochizuki Oboro clearly didn't have the energy to sit down at the table.
If you lie down to rest after expending too much energy, it will be difficult to stand up for a short period of time—many people who have done strenuous exercise have this experience.
That's exactly what Mochizuki Oboro is like now.
"Should I keep your breakfast warm?" Bawanshi asked. "Judging from your appearance, you won't have much of an appetite for half an hour."
Morgan shook his head: "It's already 7:30. If we delay any longer, it will be very late, which will affect your appetite for lunch and cause a chain reaction. For the sake of your health, I still suggest that Mochizuki eat now."
Bawanxi's expression changed instantly, and she poked Mochizuki Oboro's arm with her toe: "Did you hear that? Get up now."
“No, I don’t mean forcing Mochizuki-kun to get up. After all, it’s really tiring to start training for the first time,” Morgan added.
Bawanshi was confused.
so what should I do now?
At this moment, Morgan finally revealed his purpose: "All you have to do is open your mouth, Mochizuki-kun. Now you can rest a little longer."
“No need to trouble Mother, I can handle it.” Bawanshi immediately interrupted the spellcasting.
What a joke, his mother feeding him?
The protagonist at the center of the conversation looked up: "Castor can reach me. In other words, she can help me up without troubling you two."
End of topic. Morgan's evil plan failed to take its first step, and Bavanshi's deliberate retaliation was avoided—a win-win situation.
"Why am I involved?" Caster, who was watching the battle, was suddenly pulled into the water by Mochizuki Oboro.
I finished breakfast through sheer willpower.
My morning exercise is over, and my evening outing is still a long way off.
Please select your next appointment.
[A: Simplicity is true happiness. Go back to your room to recover your strength and chat with Caster.]
[B: Rebel against the Heavenly Gang. Find an opportunity to sneak into Meloshen's room and ambush her while she's still sleeping.]
[C: Be positive and proactive. Seek out Morgan to learn about various aspects of knowledge and develop your abilities.]
[D: A considerate and warm-hearted man. He accompanies Bawanshi on her shrine training.]
Alright, this is really a visual novel now, with four options representing the paths to increase the affection level of four characters.
However, Mochizuki Oboro, who was already exhausted, didn't want to get into trouble.
Choosing Melousin is like throwing yourself to the wolves, while choosing Morgan is like delivering food to someone's doorstep. You'll likely be tricked by Bavanshi, so Castor is a better option.
You returned to your room and chatted idly with Caster about all sorts of things.
[Skills "Charm of the Source (E)" and "Appearance of a Woman in Distress (B)" have been activated. Caster's favorability has increased.]
[The level of affection has been reached, enough to advance the relationship.]
Castor, sitting on the ground, glanced around. "There are a few questions I'm not sure if it's convenient for you to answer. I might be being a bit presumptuous."
"Since you've said that, how can I possibly answer?" Mochizuki Oboro raised her hand. "Go ahead and answer. I'll try my best."
Ultimately, it's just a game simulation, so there's no need to take it too seriously.
"Hmm... What does it feel like when the witch's lingering poison takes effect?" Castor's earlobe silently turned red.
"You'll lose your normal judgment, and control of your body will be handed over to your instincts," Mochizuki Oboro described as subtly as possible.
"Haha~ I knew it."
Castor scratched his cheek, as if there was still a question he really wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to.
He glanced to the left one moment and to the right the next, perfectly embodying the meaning of tension.
After a long half minute, Castor deliberately coughed lightly: "I heard that Lilith's poison will gradually accumulate desire, and in addition, it will also accelerate its eruption when tempted?"
"Yes."
"So, Morgan was indeed doing this on purpose yesterday after all..."
"That's it."
Thinking about what Mochizuki and Morgan had done yesterday, Castor's face was no better than the drunkard's.
What does that feel like? I've heard it's very addictive, is that true?
Of course, I couldn't bring myself to ask those questions.
It has been a long time since Castor became the steward of the Holy Sword, and he has almost forgotten about those earlier times.
No matter how times change, Castor, who remains around Suizhi Town, will always see shy couples and sweet married couples.
Originally, Castor thought these were things that had nothing to do with him.
After all, she was already physically dead.
But just these past few days, Mochizuki Oboro, who possesses a strange allure, has appeared in Suiori Town.
Because she pulled the sword from the stone, Mochizuki Oboro could not only see Castor, but also have real physical contact with him.
To be honest, it would be difficult for Castor to remain indifferent.
A voice deep inside Castor had been tempting him, and now it had the upper hand.
