Abigail Williams: 20%
Meanwhile, the outdoor environment is simulated.
Da Vinci's lips twitched; she felt she still had a long way to go in her research on Servants.
The personas that can be switched anytime, anywhere, along with the personality and abilities that change accordingly... it's really complicated.
At least all the data for "being happy" has been collected.
……
Outside the simulation room.
Abigail, now back to her good-girl self, sat side by side with Custer.
They all agreed that Mochizuki Oboro was the busiest volunteer—being a Master is really not easy.
“Um, Abby,” Caster suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence.
"Hmm?" Abigail shifted her gaze.
"Are you also..."
Based on her behavior over the past half hour, Castor felt that Abigail must have been infected to some extent.
Abigail pressed her index finger to her lips: "I don't know. I just find it very attractive."
Another one was folded.
Upon hearing this, Castor knew that Abigail was not far from becoming a fool.
Mochizuki Oboro is to the Servant what catnip is to a cat. Once you become interested, you'll want to get closer.
Once you get close, you will be captured by the gravitational field of the unknown black hole, and in the end, not even a trace will be left.
"Is Senior a succubus specializing in serving Servants?" Caster couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt.
She had heard that a Master is someone who controls a Servant.
If Mochizuki Oboro's ability is indeed related to this, then that's quite normal.
But why don't I feel much?
Or have they already unknowingly gotten involved?
Meanwhile, in the simulated indoor environment.
The forest, the lounge, and now the kitchen. The task isn't much harder than Abigail's: to teach Mochizuki Oboro how to successfully cook a dish.
Medea couldn't figure out what useful information she could gather through these missions, but since Professor Leonardo da Vinci was doing this, there must be a deeper meaning to it.
Medea, who goes to the cooking class with Abigail almost every day after school, is also very skilled at cooking.
She can make desserts, main meals, and snacks. As long as it's not too niche, Medea is confident she can teach Mochizuki Oboro.
"What does the senior want to learn?"
Medea tied her apron and asked softly.
"It just needs to be something that's absolutely impossible." Mochizuki Oboro didn't want to make things difficult for herself: "I'd like to learn something more everyday."
If we're going to get serious, many cuisines have dishes with complicated processes. Trying to challenge them with your current skill level is like a novice playing Monster Hunter trying to fight Black Dragon while wearing Defender armor.
"Something more casual? How about Hugh Weng?"
That is, cheese, honey, and oatmeal porridge.
This is a dish Medea learned from Circe. Circe apparently mentioned that she wasn't very good at dealing with Medea, but she still managed to learn this dish.

Chapter 157 Who are you? Please give Three Kingdoms Kill a bad review, meow.
[Skills "Charm of the Source (C)" and "Floral Splendor (A)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
What kind of lover do I want to find in the future?
Medea considered many answers, but she couldn't draw a conclusion until she met the real him.
Handsome, considerate, and with whom you share common interests...
But after her heart started pounding uncontrollably, Medea had her final answer.
Even though she knew he wasn't faithful, she still developed unwarranted expectations.
Previously, Medea had heard of Mochizuki Oboro's qualities, but she felt that they had never been relevant to her.
However, such close contact with a stranger still made her lose herself somewhat.
As if struck by Cupid's arrow, she fell in love without any sense of reason.
"I am a Servant, and you are my Master, right?" Medea asked in a sweet voice as she moved closer to Mochizuki Oboro.
Mochizuki Oboro, who was watching the fire, nodded: "The test results are indeed as stated."
Medea blinked her moist eyes: "From now on, can I call you Master directly?"
The prince in her heart should be handsome, gentle, and considerate, and clearly, her senior meets all the requirements.
Of course, a lack of focus is the biggest drawback.
Medea's body instincts told her to just go for it, but reason told her it was better to play it safe.
Let's compromise and gradually mold His Highness into the kind of person we like.
"Whatever you like." Mochizuki Oboro replied as always.

……
My volunteer work for the entire day has officially come to an end.
Professor Leonardo da Vinci gave me some souvenirs, I think they were called Command Emblems and Beast Footprints.
However, these are all commemorative items. According to Professor Leonardo da Vinci himself, the official version can be used to enhance the abilities of Servants, and it is currently under development.
Servants are quite amazing beings: they have superpowers, form transformations, and now they even have complementary enhancement measures researched by Professor Leonardo da Vinci.
In the research room, Mochizuki Oboro also glimpsed some other strange research files, which seemed to be still in the conceptual research stage.
Command Crests and Beast Footprints can be used on Servants in the future, but what about me, the Master?
Mochizuki Oboro fell into thought.
Entering the dormitory by scanning one's face is accompanied by the usual sounds of intense...battle.
"Southern Barbarians." Karna played a card from his hand.
"Kill!" Charlemagne said dramatically.
“Flawless.” Mandicardo threw out a card.
Mochizuki Oboro leaned closer: "You guys aren't playing Yu-Gi-Oh! anymore? What game is that?"
Charlemagne waved excitedly, "The latest card game released today seems to be the work of a club at Chaldea University."
"Servant ②⑼ Ni Liu Jiu ⑴III8 Sumeru Killer—" Karna picked up the packaging box and said, "This should be the name."
Mandicardo, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Recommended by Senior Zhao Yun, who previously won the Grand Slam in the men's sports competitions in Academy City..."
It is said to have been released by a senior student with big ears and long arms.
Its main selling point is that it leverages the star power of the Servants to create a highly playable card game.
Servant characters such as Ma Si, Nan Di, the Three Brothers, Kong Ming, Jiang Ziya, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Cú Chulainn, and Sherlock Holmes have all been made into character cards with different skills.
"Horse neighing... Red card should be killed?" Mochizuki Oboro picked up Karna's character card: "Looks alright."
"In practice, it's less than satisfactory." Karna was merciless: "After using it, I found that it's only slightly better than a blank card under normal conditions. It's a complete trap."
“I suspect that Mascherano has offended the producer,” Charlemagne said. “But there are ways to make him stronger.”
In this card game, the cards are divided into black and red. Black cards tend to be more offensive and supportive, while red cards tend to be more defensive and healing.
In other words, when Ma Si activates his skill, he is depleting his own defense.
“But it’s still manageable when you have less than two health points,” Mandicardo said. “The ‘Wrathful Warrior’ allows you to use basic cards without limit when your health is below two.”
"I don't quite understand." Mochizuki Oboro shook her head.
"Just give it a try," Charlemagne invited. "It's actually quite fun, isn't it? It's very addictive."
……
Meanwhile, Chaldea University.
"Real-time data: 43 copies of Academy City." The original, genuine Kongming has burned out.
Zhou Yu smiled confidently: "Isn't this great? It's all thanks to people like us spreading the word."
"Who do you think designed the basic game framework?" Zhuge Liang lightly shook his feather fan: "I can't stand it anymore. I'd rather be a comedic character from now on."
"Most likely not." Zhou Yu picked up a beer can from the table. He was an adult, so it wouldn't hurt for him to have a little alcohol.
Zheng Chenggong scratched the back of his head: "Although this game is very interesting, I feel that there are still differences in strength between the character cards."
Miyamoto Iori picked up the "Yamato Takeru" character card: "In any competitive game, it is impossible to achieve absolute equality unless both sides have the exact same character."
"Where are the three brothers? Isn't the one with the big ears the legally responsible person?" Yamato Takeru looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Xuande? He should be celebrating his victory with Yunchang, Yide, and Zilong right now." Zhou Yu gave him a teasing look. "By the way, Kongming, why aren't you going with them?"
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Monitor public opinion. Although the business results are very good, there will inevitably be some jealous people who spend money to hire online trolls to smear and spread rumors. This is fatal for us, who are in our early stages. We must monitor in a timely manner and take effective countermeasures."
“This is the fate of a strategist, isn’t it?” Zheng Chenggong clinked glasses with Zhou Yu. “In any case, at least we don’t have to worry about finding a job after graduating from university.”
Starting with a flash of inspiration from Big Ears, the idea of creating a card game sustained this still-developing club.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang was the one who was most exhausted.
Big Ears provided the inspiration, the strategist set the framework, and after considering the balance between playability and balance for a long time, they finally chose playability.
Miyamoto Iori, Yamato Musashi, Zhou Yu, Zheng Chenggong, and others were all brought in to work together, responsible for market research, character design, and character card drawing.
In today's highly information-driven society, few people believed that Big Ears could succeed with a card game... but he did it.
"I have some inside information."
Zhou Yu snapped his fingers: "I went to Miss He's workshop to order clothes a while ago, and I happened to find her staring at a picture of a boy like crazy... cough cough, I mean, in a daze. It seems that Miss He wants to elevate that boy to the position of an idol."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Chenggong asked, resting his chin on his hand.
"After some conversation, I learned that Miss He even planned to hire the popular relationship consultant Kama to be the boy's agent."
Zhou Yu took a sip of beer: "To put it somewhat inappropriately, providing timely help and adding to someone's success are completely different. Given the current popularity of card games, should we consider cooperating now?"
"You want to bet that boy will become famous," Miyamoto Iori guessed while playing cards with Takeru.
Zhou Yu nodded in affirmation: "That's right!"
"I don't want to work overtime—"
Zhuge Liang let out a mournful cry and collapsed.
Book club and update adjustments
First, there's the book club group, group number 1002404788.
The answer to the question about joining the group is the protagonist's name.
I've already written a side story about Mom, and it's in the group. If any chapters are taken down in the future, I'll also upload a copy in the group.
Feel free to chat and joke around. The only requirement is to avoid pressing any keys, as it's easy to get bombarded with unwanted messages.
Starting next month, updates will be changed to two updates per day.
The reason is that I'm going to be a freshman in college.
That's right, I'm about to be a freshman in college... Come to think of it, I've been playing this game since the second year of junior high, so this is something I'll never forget (sigh).
