【Sajyou Aika.】 (Strategy progress increased to maximum)

Tiamat. (Unlocks the walkthrough route, greatly increasing the walkthrough progress)
[Answering personally.]
Seeing the second-to-last option, Mochizuki Oboro's pupils trembled.
[The older sister next door who raised me can no longer suppress her desires; her surging emotions transform from familial affection into a forbidden longing… What a thrilling subject!]
[Since there's no blood relation to begin with, and our initial relationship was just that of an older sister, isn't it normal to include her in the list of romance options?]
BB uttered those devilish words in a light, airy voice.
To prevent BB from further invading her ears, Mochizuki Oboro immediately resumed the flow of time.
"I like all of them."
"Hmm, I see."
Tiamat nodded brightly: "Next, we need to give her a Tiamat-style test. From her domestic skills to personality compatibility, everything needs to be checked. If she doesn't pass..."
“I said I like them all,” Mochizuki Oboro repeated.
Tiamat still had a faint smile on her face: "Really? Mom must have been thinking too much lately and misheard. Could you repeat it?"
“Typhon, Epsilon, Lilith, President Mary, and…”
"Mom knows, so please stop saying it!!"
Tiamat covered her ears, squatted helplessly on the ground, and wailed, "Impure relationships with the opposite sex... are absolutely unacceptable! Even a lover isn't out of the question, how did you become such a bad girl?"
Faced with Tiamat's appearance, Lilith and the others exchanged bewildered glances, feeling a sense of unease.
It's true that everyone is in competition, but the future parent in front of us is just too much of a headache. From the truth that was just revealed, it's clear that she has absolutely no intention of letting Mochizuki Oboro have a girlfriend.
Mochizuki Oboro squatted down and gently stroked Tiamat's hair: "I'm sorry, I recently realized that I'm a scumbag."
A strange sense of guilt arose in Sajou Aika's heart.
"I should have known better than to let you come to Chaldea to study..." Tiamat's voice trembled slightly, sounding more like a crying child than her sister.
“There’s one more thing,” Mochizuki Oboro added, “I don’t have a girlfriend right now.”
Upon hearing this, Tiamat's two starry eyes lit up: "Really?!"
It seems like my own child hasn't turned out too badly yet?

Chapter 123 If You Are the One: A Special Offer by Mei Li
Reines's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but complain, "Erise, which of these two is the parent and which is the child?"
Erise stroked her chin and recalled, "Ever since Tiamat became her guardian, she has always doted on Mochizuki Oboro, and she was quite normal until she was thirteen."
Before that, although Tiamat was somewhat overly concerned and often did some suspicious things, she was generally considered a qualified guardian.
"And after you turn thirteen?" Lenore pressed.
“That was around the time he was going through puberty,” Erise said. “That guy’s mindset is different from others; there’s no such thing as a rebellious phase for him. Plus, he grew taller quickly, and it wasn’t long before he overtook Tiamat. The situation reversed around the second year of junior high.”
Actually, there's still some information about Erise that hasn't been released.
Because Mochizuki Oboro almost never initiates any affectionate behavior towards Tiamat, this guardian who calls herself her mother has semi-forced some things to satisfy her own desires: including but not limited to accompanying her to bathe and holding her hand when going out...
When Mochizuki Oboro entered the second year of junior high school, Tiamat would often act coquettishly towards him, and Eri Sei would doubt her own eyes many times when she visited.
Eri was not in a good position to comment on this strange ecological relationship.
Although she had once suspected that Tiamat might be involved in some kind of training program, out of almost negligible respect, Erise did not continue to investigate in that direction.
"The connections within the senior's family are truly remarkable," Castor exclaimed in amazement.
“At least the parent-child relationship is quite harmonious, isn’t it?” Medea said.
Abigail: "She calls herself 'Mom' on one hand, but only 'Sister' on the other... But I think the current senior is more like the mature one."
That concludes the commentary from the spectator stands.
After hearing Mochizuki Oboro's choice, BB updated the main quest accordingly.
[Congratulations to the senior for completely abandoning the solo route and entering the welcome multi-ship jump mode!]
[Main Quest Updated: The First Step into the Abyss]
[Content: Officially establish a "romantic" relationship with a romanceable character.]
【award:? ? ? 】
[Please rest assured, the reward will definitely be well worth it. Because your initiative has increased, there will be no need to set deadlines and penalties for tasks in the future.]
[But if we keep dragging our feet and our incredibly cute BB can't see... cough cough, I mean, the progress. If we don't see any progress, we might have to take some necessary measures.]
As Mochizuki Oboro had expected, after she made her "scumbag declaration," none of the potential suitors present were surprised; they all seemed to have anticipated it.
“Being mentally prepared is one thing…” Typhon said with one hand on his hip, “but I still feel uncomfortable.”
Ipsilon pouted: "We can't have another all-out attack, can we? After all, my brother hasn't hidden this from us."
Kiyohime unfolded her fan: "Based on the reward for honesty, it is Oboro-sama's freedom to maintain relationships with as many women as she wants before marriage. However, I will have some reservations about infidelity after marriage. I might not be able to resist using some tricks... such as Noble Phantasms."
Lilith shifted her gaze: "Aren't you going to say anything, President Mary?"
“My views on marriage and relationships are not very modern, so I’ll just keep quiet about it,” Mary said politely. “In any case, I don’t harbor any hostility towards any of you.”
It is normal for a king to have wives, and the queen's nobility is not affected by this—in modern times, which advocates equality in marriage and relationships, Mary's thinking is clearly extremely anti-establishment.
The only one who didn't speak was Ayaka Sajou. But judging from her expression, there was no need to express it verbally.
Eri pulled out a movie prop that seemed to appear out of nowhere: "Click. Now for the summary."
Assistant Reines pulled out her notebook: "Little Kiyohime is quite lenient before marriage, but has some requirements for behavior after marriage. Senior Typhon and Little Ip both prefer one-on-one relationships, while President Mary's attitude is indifferent. This Miss Sajō, who was only added today, says she will be incredibly tolerant..."
"And Lilith hasn't made a formal statement yet."
Erito, holding up non-existent glasses, held an imaginary microphone to Lilith's lips: "Would you like it steamed or braised? Or perhaps cut into small pieces? Of course, such despicable thoughts are unacceptable, aren't they?"
"Why did we suddenly start having a mini-drama..." Abigail looked at him with a knowing expression.
Medea: "Don't use your brain to think, use your heart."
Draco, who was rotting in the corner, took a sip of grape juice: "Compared to Yu, I always feel that he is more like the Beast of depravity and gluttony."
Lilith took the microphone from the Emperor: "I understand Mochizuki-kun's thoughts and motives. While I don't support him, I won't oppose him either. That's all."
“As the proverb goes, a doting mother spoils her son.” Tiamat, now recovered, joined the small theater, refuting Lilith’s permissive attitude: “That’s wrong. Unconditional indulgence is not good for Oboro.”
"Do you really have the right to judge others?" Reporter Eri was speechless.
Assistant Linis clapped gently: "Alright~ That concludes the female guest's remarks. Now, please welcome the male guest to the stage and choose a female guest whose light is still on."
Violet, who had intruded unnoticed, had already used the Servant abilities of everyone present to set up the scene, turning the lounge into a large-scale matchmaking event.
The Wild Boar Princess used her superhuman strength to fix the large screen in place and then pointed the camera at everyone present, fully demonstrating the role of a logistics staff member.
Medea, wearing a safety helmet, adjusted the lights, leaving Abigail standing there bewildered: "Servants' abilities are really convenient... wait, does anyone among us actually know such strange and unusual spells?"
As the flower petals appeared, the elder sister of flowers closed her eyes and hissed, "Just watch the show."
"Hahaha..." Abigail had no choice but to sit in the audience with Draco.
It's weird no matter how you think about it.
Forget about logic and reason for now.
Mochizuki was led to the front desk by Caster.
In this tiny world built by Meryl's illusions, he is the only protagonist.
The others were more or less aware of it, but none of them intended to kick that slutty dream demon out. After all, it was an act of going with the flow, and it wouldn't hurt to accept it for the time being.
Eri, who had transformed from a reporter into a host, snapped her fingers: "Please look at the big screen~ Now, the first male guest will be introduced."
Assistant Reines manually voices: "Mochizuki Oboro, male, native of Tokyo, currently studying at Chaldea University in Tokyo. He is 175cm tall and weighs 65kg. He has a good appearance and unique temperament. He works at Camelot Entertainment Center and has a considerable income. He has never been in a relationship."
"What are Mr. Mochizuki's requirements for a partner?" Erise asked teasingly.
“As long as you’re beautiful.” Mochizuki Oboro explained: “Beauty in appearance, beauty in spirit, and beauty in behavior—you only need to meet one of these three criteria.”
Guest Lilith pressed the button in front of her and raised her hand.
"It seems one of the female guests is about to ask a question." Erise nodded: "Please go ahead."
"What is your salary like? How much can you spend on your partner? Do you own a house or a car?"
"Wow, the pressure of reality is so heavy," Lennies commented as she took notes.
“Random. All. None,” Mochizuki Oboro replied.
Lilith waved her hand: "Host, may we now successfully pair up?"

"Okay~ This female guest is trying to hold hands. Would the male guest agree?" Host Eri Se shifted the focus to Mochizuki Oboro.
Tiamat interrupted first: "Mom doesn't agree!"
“It’s the parents’ objection,” Lenis said with regret. “There’s nothing we can do about it, Senior Lilith.”
“Wait a minute,” staff member Caster raised his hand to indicate, “Why are the parents standing together in the female guests’ seats?”
Tiamat hummed twice and said matter-of-factly, "Because I need to personally oversee things, I need to put myself in their shoes to assess which children are excellent and meet the requirements."
The pink lighting effects, the stage-like positioning, and the sudden appearance of light buttons and a large screen.
Eri quickly gets into host mode, along with her assistant Reines, and Merry, who seems to be the culprit no matter how you look at it.
The situation has now completely spiraled out of control.
"Wait a minute! There are still some people who haven't entered yet!"
Nero leaped to the front of the stage in a few quick steps, stood in his newly appeared seat, and said with his head held high, "Alright, let's continue."
Looking at her roommate who had switched modes and squeezed in from below the stage, Abigail felt completely bewildered.
This world is completely abnormal now.
Or perhaps, one is actually living in the world of some nonsensical entertainment anime?
Abigail couldn't figure it out.
No matter who extended the invitation to hold hands with the male guest, Tiamat single-handedly blocked them all. The scene was quite chaotic for a moment.
Lilith, Typhon, Epsilon, Mary, Sajō Aika, Kiyohime... none of them could break through the defenses.
“It seems this male guest is destined to be alone forever.” Eri asked with a regretful tone, “Could this parent please state their requirements?”
"Can't be too tall, I don't like that. Can't be too short, the height difference is too great. Can't be fat, that doesn't look good. Can't be thin, that's all bones. Can't be too introverted, otherwise I'll have to coax them all the time. Can't be too extroverted, they'll often cause a lot of trouble."
Tiamat smoothly delivered her prepared lines: "The economic gap between the two sides cannot be too large, their values must be largely the same, their lifestyles must be healthy, and they cannot stay up all night..."
Assistant Linis patiently took notes.
