The Wild Boar Princess's score soared like a rocket, eating faster and more each day. Here, she was the undisputed queen—until yesterday.
However, Mochizuki Ootengu, which is synchronized with Snorlax, is even more terrifying than Boar.
In terms of eating alone, Mochizuki Oboro's agility has reached the "EX" level. Coupled with her high-difficulty eating performance, if given the choice, no one would vote for Caster.
Castor was deeply shocked and completely lost his fighting spirit.
[A resounding success.]
Congratulations on acquiring the new trait "King's Stomach"!
[Wang Wei: Significantly increases eating speed and stomach capacity. Improves digestion rate.]
A wonderful feeling arose from within, and Mochizuki felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, clearing up many previously blocked channels.
...Besides participating in competitive eating contests and storing energy, does this thing really have any positive effects?
Mochizuki Oboro, realizing what was happening, noticed something was amiss.
……
Meanwhile, on the ninth underground floor.
A gathering of elegant celebrities is being held here.
Tralock, Morgan, Nitocris, Artoria, Olga Marie, Ryougi Shiki, Marie Antoinette, Krimhilde, Anastasia, Reines... the ladies in their gowns were the most beautiful sight to behold.
Also present was a certain evil AI from the previous generation.
Standing in the main position, BB smiled and said, "Thank you all for taking the time to come. It is truly an honor."
Ryougi Shiki, as always, said: "Enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point."
"I'm really impatient. But in order for everyone to have a deeper understanding of the topic that follows, please allow me to introduce myself and give a brief explanation."
After losing the battle for administrator privileges, BB immediately approached Tralock, expressing his desire to form an alliance.
She knew very well the personality of her troublesome daughter (?).
Meltryllis has a hard time hiding her emotions; no matter how perfectly she performs her work, it will inevitably show in the smallest details. And according to the original plan, the most important thing is the launch of the side quests.
Virtual reality technology can reasonably and perfectly turn unrelated people into actors on a stage, and neither Meltryllis nor BB would remain indifferent.
And that was indeed the case. Academy City's games swept every corner of the world, and BB, taking advantage of his first-mover advantage, secured investment from Tralock, and brilliantly transformed from an unregistered individual into a celebrity.
Are you all interested in that game called Chaldea?
BB happily placed his first piece.

P.S.: The next chapter will be posted a little later, around 9 or 10 pm.
Chapter 208 Singing and Dancing
As the ultimate, perfect, and adorable (all self-proclaimed) AI, BB certainly wouldn't remain indifferent to Meltryllis's flag of rebellion.
Sooner or later she will return to Mooncell and restore the Moon Computer Paradise to its original owner... but for now, she can only lie low for the time being.
BB has secured all the sponsorships and completed its initial capital accumulation. Now, all it needs to do is follow the established plan step by step.
Just as BB was giving her promotional speech, Artoria left her seat without a word.
When Artoria returned to the venue, there were two more people present who were both related to and unrelated to the content of her speech.
[Skills "Charm of the Source (B)" and "Dazzling Bloom (A)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
Starting with Tralock, Morgan, and others, the scene immediately became agitated, and the fragile order that had been relatively stable was instantly shattered by an unexpected visitor.
The speaker, BB, was not annoyed; instead, he smiled knowingly.
Morgan and Tralock, representing the "shrimp-headed group," uttered lewd words, some direct and some subtle, while Artoria, Nitocris, and others were the "regular group," expressing friendliness.
The pranksters, like Reines and Ryougi, who instantly switch to battle mode, and the confused group, like Krimhildr and Anastasia, all have something to do.
Is the senior's network too extensive? Castor couldn't help but wonder.
"How's the training going? The Great Star Festival isn't far off." Ryougi Shiki forcefully pushed Ryougi Ori aside, fully demonstrating her authority as the dominant personality.
Artoria exclaimed, "Isn't your main business daily necessities and celebrity entertainment? How could my servants be involved?"
"Miss Tsuru asked me to do this, saying she wanted to see him shine at least once, so we've tentatively arranged for him to be tutored by Kama at the Daihasei Festival," Ryougi Shiki said.
“I see.” Morgan naturally joined in. “I agree with Miss He’s idea. It’s also necessary to let others know how outstanding my husband is.”
"Husband?" Ryougi Shiki looked surprised.
Artoria explained, "She's a Berserker, don't worry about her."
Ryougi Shiki responded with an "oh," indicating that she understood.
In the official Servant classification of Academy City Chaldea, there are many different class characteristics, including the seven regular Servant classes such as Saber, Lancer, and Archer, as well as relatively special classes such as Avenger, Ruler, and Alterego.
Classes are not absolute. For example, the Knight King, who possesses almost all class affinities, can switch between classes such as Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, and Ruler.
A common characteristic of Berserkers is "berserk," which means they don't listen to people properly.
In this way, it's not so hard to understand why she (?) referred to Mochizuki Oboro as her husband when she was in a daze.
“Oh~” Tralock drawled, “So that person who was suddenly added to the opening ceremony through connections was my priest.”
Olga Marie crossed her arms and said, "I don't care what you do in private, at least don't embarrass me on stage. I'm the one in charge of organizing this year's Daihasei Festival."
"Keep going, I believe you can do it," Mary said with a smile.
the other side.
Krimshild picked up her wine glass: "Why do I feel like it's the other way around if you don't know him?"
"Is he a public figure? I don't think I've ever seen him before, that's strange." Anastasia frowned slightly.
At gatherings of socialites and ladies, it's important to fit in. While the main event is ostensibly BB's speech, it also serves a networking purpose.
Morgan, Artoria, Tralock, Nitocris, and other senior figures who have already achieved remarkable success all seemed very familiar with each other, and even Mary had a lot to say, which left Krimhild and Anastasia somewhat confused.
"Aren't you going? Or do you not know them either?" Krimhild looked at BB.
“Of course I know him. In fact, I’d say I know him better than anyone here.” BB sat down between the two of them. “Because we’re so familiar with each other, there’s no need for us to join in.”
Astanasia described what she had seen: "That guy seemed to know Artoria well, but I don't recall him being one of the Knights of the Round Table. Morgan and Tralock were behaving rather undignifiedly, and Nitocris was standing the furthest away, so she probably wasn't as familiar with the others."
"Mochizuki Oboro, an ordinary high school student. Before high school, she studied in Tokyo and is currently studying at Finis Academy, where she works as a waitress at Camelot Entertainment Center."
BB opened the box directly: "I like 'beauty'. But lately I've been going crazy in the direction of losing my morals. My younger sister is Eri, and my legal guardian is Tiamat."
“Phineas Academy? He’s a Servant?” Krimshild nodded to herself as she spoke, “That makes sense.”
Anastasia slightly raised her chin: "But I can't see the class. Is it a hidden type?"
“It’s Master,” BB said.
“Master? There are several even the rarest Beasts, but I’ve never heard of this class.” Krimhild shook her head.
BB coughed lightly: "He is the one who controls the Servants. As long as one is a Servant, one cannot disobey his commands."
"Whoa?!" Astanasia's eyes widened instantly.
Krimshild's lips twitched: "Isn't this a bit too unreasonable?"
……
BB's speech was completely turned into a personal update session by Mochizuki Oboro.
Questions like "What have you been doing lately?", "Do you have any new hobbies?", and "Have you started a romantic relationship with someone?" kept coming in.
"How's your studies going in Kama?" Artoria asked with interest. "Since it's for performance, you need to master the basics of singing and dancing."
Although he hasn't performed on stage in recent years, the Knight King studied acting at Chaldea University, gaining both theoretical and practical experience.
Mochizuki Oboro answered truthfully, "I feel so-so."
“Let’s give it a demonstration. It will put our future chairman at ease.” Morgan said in a fair tone, “If there are any problems, we can correct them in time. I’m a semi-professional actor, too.”
What he was really thinking remains unknown.
"You have to learn the ritual dances too, right?" Tralock activated +1.
The Wild Boar Princess raised her hands high: "Senior, give me one!"
Mary joined in the cheering: "One more!"
Faced with many expectant eyes, you need to make a choice.
[A: Take the stage. Gain charm experience points.]
[B: Invite someone to join. Progress in winning over the specific target increases, and physical experience points are gained.]
[C: Refuse. Dexterity experience points gained.]
"It's embarrassing."
Mochizuki tightened her collar and stood on the stage alone.

Chapter 209 Beauty is only fit for the strong 2.0
[You used the item "French Fries". The progress of your pursuit of the characters present is now easier.]
For many, simply stepping onto the stage is an extremely difficult test. Actors, on the other hand, must overcome shame, discard their inhibitions, and sometimes even have to make themselves look ugly.
The same applies to idols. Kama was a qualified teacher who taught Mochizuki Oboro a lot of real skills, but the previous training venues were all indoors, and they had never performed formally.
As a graduate of a performing arts program, Artoria is well aware of the difference between practice and performance.
It is no exaggeration to say that the gap between the two is enormous.
The spotlight, the audience's expressions, and the most frequently mentioned issue of lines... Only by overcoming all unfavorable factors and consistently demonstrating one's true abilities can one be considered a qualified actor.
Morgan, who also starred in "King Arthur," is well aware of the challenges actors face.
Aside from these two industry insiders, Tralock, Nitocris, and others all offer purely audience-centric perspectives. Ryougi Shiki is even more unique, habitually adopting the perspective of an agent.
Wang Yuelong took a steady, unhurried step, neither arrogant nor guilty, his expression unchanged.
"Hmm." Ryougi Shiki nodded slightly. "Where did he buy his fries? They taste alright."
Posture is fundamental. Walking, sitting, and running all have different requirements. In short, it is about being "open and graceful".
Just by taking those few steps onto the stage, Ryougi Shiki could show Mochizuki Oboro's current level.
The waist is straight as a pine tree, and the shoulders are naturally broadened and lowered, but it is different from the mechanical marching and has a distinct sense of individualism.
Morgan's tone held a hint of boastfulness: "Impressive, isn't it?"
“We also have to thank Gamo,” Artoria couldn’t help but say, as she was fighting with her sister Castor over fries. “You didn’t teach him anything.”
As the two were exchanging their usual barbs, Mochizuki Oboro had already taken center stage.
[Skills "Charm of the Source (B)" and "Dazzling Bloom (A)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
The enhanced Charisma skill is more terrifying than ever before; its undeniable aura is like an inescapable black hole, stealing everyone's attention.
Some people are "born idols." The most important thing for an idol is to stir the emotions of their fans, to create a resonance between the stage and the audience, and to create a passionate and pure fantasy world.
In this respect, Mochizuki Oboro possesses an unparalleled advantage.
"Let's start with a song as a warm-up. Anyone want to request a song?"
Mochizuki Oboro took the microphone from BB and faced the audience.
Castor cupped his hands to his lips and shouted, "Sing and dance! I want to see a dazzling idol!"
“Singing alone can’t show it. Since you’re an idol, singing and dancing are basic skills you should learn.” Artoria joined the fray.
Morgan pulled out a light stick that seemed to appear out of nowhere, expressing his thoughts through action.
It's truly rare for the three sisters of the Wild Boar Clan to reach a consensus. However, some others were even more direct, almost to the point of being shrewd.
"This audience member, please do not go on stage to cause trouble." BB stopped Tralock with a smile.
Tralock declared righteously, "The priest is a newcomer after all, and it's normal for him to feel shy. My dancing with him will greatly alleviate his nervousness."
"Ha...it's his solo now, I need to evaluate it." Ryougi Shiki said with a headache, "You can do whatever you want in private, but can't you give me some peace and quiet on stage?"
