"Please forgive the inadequate hospitality due to the haste."
Dion, dressed in a butler's uniform, poured black tea for Mochizuki Oboro and Typhon, while expensive and exquisite desserts were laid out on the table.
They must be tired after spending so much time at the art museum. Let's take a break and chat—that's the excuse Mary used to bring the two of them back to her villa.
"It tastes pretty good." Mochizuki Oboro picked up the tray and started eating.
Tifeng thanked him, but unlike Mochizuki Oboro, he didn't rudely offer his food; instead, he tried to savor it as elegantly as possible.
Dion, having served the finest tea, then excused himself, leaving the time for the three of them to enjoy the moment.
"Are you together?" Mary asked curiously, resting her chin on her hands. "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend now?"
“No,” Typhon spoke first, “I’m the one who invited him out today.”
"If a girl asks a guy out, then she's interested."
After Mary finished translating, she turned to Mochizuki Oboro: "I'm also interested in Mochizuki-kun. Can we go out together tomorrow?"
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Tiphon, choked by the black tea, put down the cake tray and turned his head to the side.
"I'm not free tomorrow, I have to work. Saturday isn't really an option either, it's my own time," said Mochizuki Oboro.
"Then..."
Typhon immediately launched a high-speed divine command, interrupting first: "Give me Sunday night!"
“Okay.” Mochizuki Oboro remained focused on appreciating the cake.
Upon hearing the answer, Typhon confidently tossed his hair and crossed his legs.
“Then shall we do it on Sunday during the day?” Mary looked at Mochizuki Oboro with an expectant expression, completely ignoring what Typhon had said.
"Okay." Mochizuki Oboro was always indifferent.
Unexpectedly, Typhon sprayed the tea he was drinking directly onto Mochizuki Ryou's pants.
"Cough, cough, cough—"

Chapter 97 Tiamat is very worried
For a mother, the greatest tragedy is that her child grows up to be a bad person.
They were so cute and lovable when they were little, but they turned out to be completely different when they grew up.
Upon seeing the screenshot forwarded by Eri, along with the other information she provided, Tiamat felt dizzy and disoriented.
Impure relationships with members of the opposite sex.
He dared to skip class less than two weeks after the start of the semester.
It's already come to this point. How terrible will my child become in the future?
Tiamat, however, dared not directly message them to inquire about these matters. It was said that doing so could easily provoke a rebellious reaction and might have the opposite effect.
After much deliberation, Tiamat couldn't resist opening the chat window and typing a line of text.
Tiamat: Do you have enough money? Should I transfer you some more?
What classic parental communication!
Mochizuki Oboro: No need. I can work for myself now.
Tiamat's vision went black, and she collapsed onto the bed.
Part-time work... a part-time job that only takes a few hours and can cover living expenses?
Is that really a legitimate job?!
My own child is definitely the best in the world. Even in Chaldea, there are bound to be many who have ill intentions towards him. What if he gets tricked?
Selling my body? I don't want that kind of thing!
Tiamat: Mom won't allow it!
Mochizuki Oboro: It's a legitimate job, sister.
Tiamat: You don't have much social experience yet, and you're likely to make many mistakes. Never trust a boss who makes empty promises! And also, your mother!
Mochizuki: I understand, sister.
Before her parents passed away unexpectedly, Mochizuki Oboro knew Tiamat, who was the older sister next door.
Even after the two became de facto guardians, Mochizuki Oboro never changed her way of addressing him.
Tiamat believes this may be due to appearance.
Because she had contact with Leonardo da Vinci and other core researchers of Chaldea very early on, Tiamat became a Servant very early and has always maintained a small form.
When Tiamat first met Mochizuki Oboro, she could be considered an older sister, but as she grew older, she became less and less authoritative.
Although it's a pity I can't hear the word "mom," I don't care so much after a while.
Tiamat is now more concerned about Mochizuki Oboro's life in Academy City.
Tiamat: Have you found someone yet? If so, remember to introduce them to your mom!
If the Tiamat-style screening method is used, no matter how outstanding a member of the opposite sex is, they will be eliminated.
That's right, how could I easily hand over a child I raised myself to someone else? This kind of thing absolutely cannot be allowed.
"Moonlit Haze: I have no lover."
Tiamat was very pleased to see this short sentence. At least things hadn't deteriorated to an irreversible state yet.
Asking questions like "How many girls are close to you?" might damage the parent-child relationship, so let Eri find out.
Tiamat: What about part-time work? Where do you work?
"Mochizuki Oboro: The restaurant at the Camelot Entertainment Center has excellent benefits, and the colleagues are very friendly; there's nothing to worry about."
Tiamat: You don't have to work so hard. Mom has plenty of money, use it as you like, don't be shy.
Mochizuki Oboro: Thank you, but I still prefer to be independent.
decadent.
Tiamat looked listless.
The child doesn't need her mother anymore. She's grown up. She'll fly away to a place I can't see... How terrifying, I don't want that.
According to the chat screenshot forwarded by Eri, Mochizuki Oboro undoubtedly commented on Eri's breasts last night. This is not something a good girl should do.
Why not just talk to your mom about this?
Tiamat believes she is fully qualified to be a physiology teacher.
……
Academy City, District 7.
In the pitch-black room, Aika Sajou lay on the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket, emitting a chilling low laugh.
The number of competitors is gradually increasing, but true victory will only belong to ourselves.
Does anyone else have direct access to the prince's mother's contact information? Does anyone else have a direct approach with the family?
That's right! As long as she wins over her future mother, Aika Sajou believes she is the unshakeable rightful wife, and no matter how much these philanderers jump around, they can't affect her position.
The red dot is flashing; my future mother has accepted my friend request.
Sajo Aika opened her notes app, copied and pasted the text she had prepared, and clicked send.
Sajō Aika: Hello. I am Sajō Aika, who is currently pursuing Mochizuki Oboro.
Miss Aige was completely unaware that her actions were essentially a form of door-to-door delivery.
Hi, Tiamat. I need to submit this for review, is that alright?
Sajō Aika: Of course, no problem. Here is my personal information; please take a look.
『Sajō Aika: (Document)』
How well prepared! It will surely leave a good impression on Mother.
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
Tokyo on the other side.
"He's been planning this for a long time; he's obviously a very scheming guy."
Tiamat concluded that most of the innate goodwill had already been lost.
My child is always a bit slow-witted and can't integrate into the world of normal people. What should I do if he gets together with a calculating girl?
Mom is very worried.
After opening the document, Tiamat narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Sajō Aika, female, 24 years old."
She's much older than Mochizuki Oboro. Servants can pause their physical state, but this Ms. Sajou is clearly marked as "non-Servant."
A girl's youth is fleeting. Do you really want your child to be facing an aging wife every day in a decade or two?
Tiamat was unaware that Aika Sajou was also unaffected by time; she only felt that they were a mismatch.
The only commendable thing about them is their honesty. Their personal resume is crystal clear.
"No prior romantic experience. First love: Mochizuki-kun."
Tiamat frowned.
No, I have no experience at all. How can I possibly understand my child's thoughts?
Of course, if Miss Aika deliberately conceals her experience and writes "experienced," she will still be eliminated by Tiamat.
—Your first love wasn't Mochizuki Oboro? Who knows what you're really thinking?
My mother's double standards are like this; no matter what I do, I can't get away with it.
"3D: ..."
Tiamat fell silent. She decided to quickly skip this set of data and not look at it anymore.
"Personal strengths: Extremely tolerant, fully understands and accepts everything about Mochizuki-kun, and actively supports all his activities."
Empty talk. Utterly empty talk.
Tolerance? Which couple doesn't have tolerance in their relationship?
Life isn't about poetry and distant places, but about the mundane details. Not every girl has the patience to live a peaceful life.
"Note: We understand and support your decision to seek information about other men who are pursuing Mochizuki-kun. We appreciate your ability to compare different options and choose the best candidate for you."
I won't choose any of them.
But we still need to get the information.
Tiamat: I'm so glad you're so understanding. Let me look at the other children's information.
As a mother (as she claims), Tiamat has every reason to speak so confidently.
Unaware of the predicament, Ms. Sajou handed over all the information she had painstakingly gathered.
Sensible, considerate, gentle, and honest—that's the persona that Ayaka Sajou wants to establish.

Chapter 98: Being a Sugar Daddy?
It should be said that Miss Aika's intelligence-gathering ability is commendable.
Since she started tailing them, she has included not only those who have shown obvious signs of following, such as Ipsilon, Typhon, and Lilith, but also Castor, whose status is still unknown.
Using information about competitors to gain a good impression on parents is not a bad thing.
Unfortunately, Ayaka Sajou was facing an enemy she could not defeat.
After leaving the message, "I'll take a look first and then contact you," Tiamat printed out all the documents and placed them on the table to read them one by one.
