"Typhon Ephemeros".
The girl's profile can be clearly seen in the photos taken under abnormal circumstances.
Long red hair obscured her eyes; her figure was slender and her proportions were impeccable.
Her personality isn't particularly bad; she's a follower. I'm currently pursuing her.
Tiamat thought for two seconds, then picked up the stamp and poked a big X into it.
Reason for elimination: My hometown is too far away.
"Epsilon".
She is the sister of Typhon, the protagonist of the previous document. Although she looks similar to her sister, their personalities and ways of doing things are completely different.
She's even made bento boxes? Regardless of her skill level, at least she's willing to try to learn how to take care of people, which makes her a good kid.
Reason for refusal: She and Typhon are sisters. If they were to actually get together, her sister might get angry and ruin the relationship.
The information on Caster, Lilith, Marie Antoinette, and others also came to the same conclusion. In short, in Tiamat's eyes, none of them were qualified.
On the other side, Miss Aika was still indulging in beautiful daydreams.
While those guys were still thinking about how to compete, he had already taken the lead and directly established contact with his future mother.
Can other people do it?
……
Friday. What a pleasant word.
Once you get through this day, it will be a bright and sunny weekend, where you can freely arrange your time and do whatever you want.
On Mochizuki Oboro's memo, there's a small side quest that needs to be completed: help Kuonji Aratsumi find a quiet place.
Kuonji Yuju's initial idea was to have the school add extra single study rooms, even if it meant charging a fee. However, the library's space was limited, making this suggestion impractical.
The suggestion could have ended there, and Mochizuki Oboro could have reported back directly. However, upon seeing Miss Kuonji, he relapsed into his old habit:
—I want the other person to be my model.
"Request an activity room?" Dr. Roman took the application form handed to him by Mochizuki Oboro, his eyes filled with doubt.
It is indeed possible to apply for the rental of spare activity rooms within Finis Academy; this is not uncommon.
During large events, the student union usually rents out meeting rooms for a few days as an extra period. Other sports clubs also occasionally use them.
More often than not, students start interest groups on a whim. The advantage of doing so is that they are not bound by school rules, can do whatever they want, and can easily disband if they want.
"Is something wrong with the Department of Service?" Dr. Roman scratched his head.
"No, it's my private matter."
The cost for students to rent the activity room is 30 QP per day. If the reason is valid, they can go through the reimbursement process. Although it is not expensive, it is not cheap for students either.
"Since it's a private matter, I won't interfere."
Dr. Roman readily handed over the form: "Fill in the applicant's information here, remember to read the instructions, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
Mochizuki Oboro hummed in agreement and picked up the pen to begin signing.
There are quite a few things to note, but you can actually ignore them. However, if you violate them, a nearby intelligent robot will make a dramatic appearance.
Open flames are strictly prohibited in the club activity room; controlled knives are not allowed to be placed in the club activity room... A new rule has also been added: Servants are not allowed to use large-scale destructive abilities in the club activity room.
The procedures in Academy City are generally very fast, and Finis Academy is no exception.
After filling in her name, undergoing biometric identification, and paying the amount, a set of keys was handed to Mochizuki Oboro.
Like other clubs, the keys are collected by robots every evening at 6 PM and automatically placed in the next morning, so you can pick them up when you put on your indoor shoes in the morning.
It doesn't necessarily have to be the club president who takes it; other students can take it too, so it's very flexible.
After school.
The library was no different from usual, with sunlight streaming in through the windows and the occasional sound of pages turning.
Kuonji Yuju found a relatively quiet spot to sit down and opened a book.
The robin named Robin is not allowed to be released in the library; she finds it too noisy and only lets it out for some fresh air after returning to her dormitory.
A boy with a unique aura silently sat down in front of Kuonji Yuju.
"Your request has been completed."
Kuonji Yuju nodded slightly, closed the book she had just opened, and walked out of the library on her own.
Mochizuki followed half a step behind her, stepping out of the door one after the other.
The robin, which had been restrained for so long, finally couldn't contain itself and chirped as it appeared.
"Hello, boy who likes Miss Ariel."
Robin perched on Kuronji Aratsume's shoulder, flapping her wings proudly: "I was actually here last time too!"
"Like...? He just wants me to be a model," Kuonji Yuzu corrected.
“That’s because they’re interested in appearance. Humans are all like that, I know that~” Robin said, jumping around. “Last time you guys were chatting, I listened in from the tree for a while.”
Even though it was just a bird, Mochizuki Oboro could see an "I understand you" expression on Robin's face.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Kuonji Yuzu tilted her head: "Never mind Robin, there's no need to feel shy."
Coming to her senses, Mochizuki Oboro smiled and said, "I'm very interested in you now."
"There's no need to repeat this again, I'm not embarrassed..."
“Miss Yuzhu, he was talking to me.”
"Huh?" Kuonji Yuju stood there, stunned.
"Robin, would you like to be my model?"
"Oh, come on~ There's no future for us. But if you can actually win over Miss Yuzhu, then I'll be the bonus."
"No need for that. I just need to paint one picture."
"Sigh. It really is a fast-paced era now. But it's alright."
What are these two guys talking about?
Each word was clear, but when put together, Kuonji Yuju couldn't understand it at all.
……
After the little incident ended.
Kuonji Yuju and Mochizuki Oboro sat together on a bench.
"An activity room? I see. I really didn't know there was such a method before."
"Here you go, this is the key. From now on, that activity room is yours."
"How much did it cost? I'll pay for it."
“You’ve already paid.” Mochizuki Oboro took out her notebook and drawing pencil. “Being willing to be a model is the best reward for me.”
Before Kuonji Aratsumi could even speak, Robin started chattering away again.
"Oh~ Ms. Ariel uses her body as payment. This must be what they call being kept as a sugar daddy."
"Robin."
"what happened?"
"You die first."
No matter how calm she was, Kuonji Aratsumi's patience had its limits.
As expected, Robin immediately flapped her wings and flew away after being threatened, leaving only Mochizuki Oboro and Kuonji Aratsume at the scene.
"The obstacle is gone. Let's have a proper chat."

Chapter 99 Hand fetish, or foot fetish?
Although Robin's words were ambiguous, there was some truth to them.
“Tell me the actual expenses first, and then I will make my own judgment,” said Yuju Kuonji. “I don’t want to be in debt. It’s annoying to owe favors for just a few portraits.”
Moreover, relationships involving money are among the most troublesome and difficult to handle in the world.
“30 QP a day,” Mochizuki Oboro replied.
“30…is a bit expensive for most students, but it’s not impossible for me to afford it.”
That amount of money could buy three good meals in the cafeteria. Keep in mind that most students' monthly living expenses are between 1200 and 1800 QP, but renting a recreation room would cost nearly 1000 QP.
“No, let’s get back to the point,” Mochizuki Oboro said. “I’ll find you a quiet place, and you’ll be my model. It’s that simple.”
sa. n (iv) Ling Qi Er II Su Ba Si "But..."
"Are you referring to the money part? Then let me do the math."
Mochizuki Oboro took out her phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Kuonji Yuzu: "Guess how many QP it would cost me to find these models for photoshoots?"
"I don't know." Kuonji Yuju shook her head.
"Artoria. She offered me a model's friend rate of 99999 QP for half an hour. And this guy called BB charges 990,000 QP per hour."
Kuonji Yuju couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Although she was a witch, she wasn't oblivious to worldly affairs. She knew the beautiful woman's price wouldn't be cheap, but she hadn't expected it to be so outrageous.
Mochizuki Oboro continued, "Therefore, you don't need to feel troubled. If we can hire a beautiful girl of your caliber as a model, those expenses are nothing at all; on the contrary, I'll make a huge profit."
Seeing that Kuonji Yuzu was starting to consider it, Mochizuki Oboro knew that the matter was basically settled.
It's rare to have a beautiful girl of this caliber as a model. If we easily agree to let Kuonji pay for it herself, then we'll likely only have one chance to find a model.
“How about this? We just need to clarify the rights and obligations between us, and treat it as a pure transaction,” said Mochizuki Oboro.
"Let me hear it."
“I will ask you to be a model once a month, for about half an hour. During that time, I will take photos as usual, and you just need to cooperate with me within your acceptable limits.”
"I also have something to add."
Kuonji Yuzu's tone remained cool: "While you are paying the fee, if you can keep quiet, you can also choose to spend your time in the activity room. That would be considered equal."
Another meaning is that Mochizuki Oboro could transfer the rental fees to Kuonji Aratsu at any time, but at that time, she would not be welcome to be disturbed.
"Okay." Mochizuki Oboro stood up and put away her notebook. "How about we go check out the Art Finch 1-3-1 Jiu'er Activity Room?"
……
[Skills "Charm of the Source (C)" and "Floral Splendor (A)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" is active.]
The sunlight at 5 p.m. was slightly dim and yellowish.
It was still early before the sky turned red, but it was enough to make one feel the passage of time.
The club activity room is as large as a classroom, with ample space for arrangement.
With plenty of time before returning to her dorm, Kuonji Yuzu decided to pay her "rent" today.
She had thought she would sit upright by the window or lean against the wall, but it turned out that keeping up with Mochizuki Oboro's thought process was too difficult.
After visiting the art exhibition, Mochizuki Oboro gained a lot of inspiration, especially from the Mona Lisa.
He wants to draw hands.
The painting depicts the hands of Arisu from Kuonji Temple.
It's worth mentioning that a certain psychopath also had an unusual obsession with women's hands, inspired by the Mona Lisa. Quite a coincidence.
However, compared to Professor Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait, the shape of Kuonji Aryu's hand is very different in appearance.
The hands in the Mona Lisa are rounded and fleshy, full of healthy beauty.
Kuonji Arisu's are more slender and elongated, making her look more bony.
Beneath her fair and smooth skin lay faint blue veins, and beneath her ivory-white nails lay a natural cherry-pink hue, reflecting a porcelain-like luster.
No calluses, no scars, just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.
