Chapter 121 The Deadly Triple Combo
Typhon, Epsilon, Lilith, Kiyohime.
one two three four.
If you include the other girls who were also present, the number is truly pessimistic.
Tiamat had been looking forward to giving her child a surprise, but the scene before her eyes was far beyond her control.
Why did things become like this?
He attended school in Academy City during his first year of high school without any problems. Why did he become like this just one month after starting his second year?
Tiamat had no idea; her mind was a complete mess.
However, she wasn't the only one who stood there stunned.
"……Mother?"
Typhon glanced at Tiamat, then at Mochizuki Oboro, his face full of wisdom: "Is this your mother?"
"Too young," Lilith teased Mochizuki Oboro. "Doesn't it really look like you're older?"
Mochizuki Oboro also rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
Why did Tiamat suddenly come to Academy City? I didn't receive any news about it.
After meeting Eri's gaze, which was filled with a subtle expression, Mochizuki Oboro realized who had done this.
"I've prepared a surprise for you"—so that's what it meant. It truly was a surprise in name only.
Kiyohime narrowed her eyes and immediately spotted Aika Sajou standing behind Tiamat.
Lennies's mouth dropped open slightly; she felt that this scene was well worth the price of admission.
Mary and Custer didn't react much, at least not outwardly. They were both calmly munching on their bread, treating the whole scene as a sideshow.
"Let me introduce you, this is my guardian."
Mochizuki Oboro stood up and said, "Tiamat, my sister. Legally, we are adoptive mother and adopted son, which is why she calls herself 'Mom'."
An invisible arrow pierced Tiamat's heart, followed by another arrow.
Although I've never heard my own child call out that name, it still hurts to be pointed out so directly...
"Eh? You're Mochizuki-kun's older sister?" Sajō Aika gave a similar expression to that of the water goddess Aqua.
Since Tiamat is also a Servant, Aika Sajou thought that her appearance was unaffected by time, which is why she appeared so youthful.
It turned out to be the older sister?
Sajo Aika felt that her plans had been completely disrupted, and her thoughts were racing wildly through her mind like a runaway horse, making it impossible for her to organize any coherent thoughts.
...Never mind. After all, they are guardians.
After convincing herself, Sajo Aika continued to observe the scene.
“Oh, I see~” Lilith clapped her hands: “I was wondering why the age difference seemed so strange. Now I can understand what you mean.”
That's incomprehensible; they don't look like siblings at all.
Castor took a bite of the sandwich and felt that it was perfectly normal for this woman to be the senior's sister.
However, considering that she also possesses the aura of a Servant, it's too early to draw conclusions. Perhaps she'll transform as well.
Draco pulled out a chair and sat down next to Castor: "What is this? A sudden family drama?"
Mary in Alter mode said, "In the parlance of the neighboring country, it's like 'the daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law'."
Typhon, Epsilon, Kiyohime, and Lilith—their meanings were all very clear; they never even tried to hide them.
Only Caster, Reines, Abigail, and Medea remained relatively unaffected at the moment. Even Draco was charmed when he switched to Nero form, and Mary herself was a complete captive.
It's quite interesting to think that they would actually run into Mochizuki Oboro's guardian in this situation.
"Hello, I am Typhon Ephemeros, and this is my sister Ipsilon."
Ti Fong was the first to react, and gave a somewhat stiff introduction.
Although he had expected to meet his parents someday, Ti Fung never imagined it would be in such an awkward setting.
They were just sitting around the sofa... they must have left a terrible impression on the other person.
The first impression is beyond saving. Just thinking about it makes the future seem bleak.
"Hello. It seems I've come at the wrong time."
Tiamat sighed: "My child has a rather eccentric personality. First of all, thank you all for being willing to come out and play with him. But please don't misbehave, okay?"
"Haha..." Ipsilon gave an awkward but polite smile.
Reckless and arbitrary behavior... What kind of situation constitutes reckless and arbitrary behavior?
Dating? Holding hands? Kissing?
"In short, impure relationships with the opposite sex are not allowed!" Tiamat seamlessly switched to mother mode, deliberately putting on a serious face.
The atmosphere at the scene fell into a tense silence.
Some topics are fine to discuss freely with peers, but not necessarily with parents.
Furthermore, Typhon and the others did not want to leave Tiamat with a bad impression, and now they were all in a mysterious silence.
Since you don't know what you might say that might trigger a landmine, it's wise not to speak.
Sajou Aika took the initiative to break the silence, smiling, "Why don't we sit down and chat for a bit? There shouldn't be any rush at the anime convention this afternoon, so we can chat leisurely for a while."
……
Putting aside the topic of Mochizuki Oboro, Tiamat is actually a very easy person to talk to.
Because the first thing she saw after opening the door was so terrible, she had a preconceived bad impression of Typhon and his companions.
However, things got much better after chatting for a while. At least on the surface, they had returned to a friendly state.
"Service Club? That sounds awful... It shouldn't be some weird club, right?"
"Please rest assured. The mission of the Service Department is simply to help others, and since its establishment, it has helped many students solve their problems."
Mary said to Tiamat, "I also asked Mochizuki-kun for some things, and he took great care of me."
Tiphon nodded in agreement: "Me too."
Why isn't a boyfriend assessment considered a commission?
Hearing this, Tiamat felt a little relieved: "That's good. I was a little worried that he might be led astray by some strange people."
Despite being at the center of the conversation, Mochizuki Oboro leaned against the sofa armrest, listening to music through her headphones, and did not join the discussion.
However, this leisurely demeanor was destined not to last long.
According to the information provided by Ayaka Sajou, Tiamat was no stranger to the girls in front of her.

After talking with her, it was clear that everything matched up, proving that Aika Sajou really put a lot of effort into this aspect.
"Thinking about it carefully, most of you are high school students in the prime of your youth."
Tiamat rested her chin on her hands, smiled, and asked, "Are you in a relationship? Does Oboro have anyone he's interested in? What do you all think of him?"
Three fatal questions in a row.
The slightly improved atmosphere twisted again.
Chapter 122 Surrender Meow
The Wild Boar Princess was amazed.
Such a bombshell question was laid bare on the table; such straightforward behavior and logic are remarkably similar to Mochizuki Oboro's.
Logically speaking, even if they noticed, they wouldn't ask in front of so many people, right?
"What a mess you've made! I didn't know you enjoyed this kind of drama." Reines lowered her voice and glanced at Eri.
Erise looked like it was none of my business: "I don't know. I just meant we could come to Academy City for fun during the anime convention~"
They must have been assimilated by Reines's mischievous traits. Medea and Abigail thought in unison.
The other side.
Faced with Tiamat's three questions, everyone reacted differently, but no one dared to speak first.
After all, Tiamat's question was mainly about "who Mochizuki Oboro is interested in and whether she has a girlfriend," so it would be too embarrassing to answer incorrectly.
Therefore, Tifeng and the others remained silent and turned to look at Mochizuki Oboro.
“Why don’t you just ask him?” Lilith said.
Eri reached out and took off Mochizuki Oboro's headphones, patted him on the shoulder, and then led him to the table without saying a word before returning to her own seat.
Faced with a sea of stares, Mochizuki looked around and then focused her gaze on Tiamat.
What do I need to answer?
Tiamat cleared her throat. "It's nothing really. You're already a junior in high school, and many people celebrate their youth at this time. I'd also like to know something: who do you hope to spend these years with?"
This passage is not difficult to translate.
In short, it means "Mom wants to know who you like."
“From now until college, I estimate I’ll be doing nothing with Mandicardo, Charlemagne, and Karna. Sometimes we’ll participate in sports, sometimes we’ll come up with some pranks—but that’s probably not the kind of answer you want, sister.”
Mochizuki Oboro rested her elbows on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and gazed at each of the potential romance targets.
Lilith, sitting on the far left, had a slight smile on her lips and looked relaxed.
Although she didn't say anything, Mochizuki Oboro could sense that she meant, "Answer however you want."
Mary blinked her sea-blue eyes and smiled back when she saw Mochizuki Oboro looking over.
Typhon and Epsilon revealed their true colors at this moment. In front of their future parents, the older sister could no longer maintain her facade; her cheeks flushed, her eyes darted around, and she dared not look directly into Mochizuki Ryou's eyes.
The younger sister was much bolder, responding boldly and frankly, showing no signs of shyness whatsoever. Only her reddened earlobes indicated that she was essentially the same type as her older sister.
Kiyohime covered the lower half of her face with her fan. To her, whatever Mochizuki Oboro's answer was, as long as she remained honest, there was room for negotiation.
And then there's Sajou Aika, who's closest to Tiamat.
Judging from a series of previous details, this Miss Aige may have already been in contact with Tiamat.
The few who had not yet shown any interest in Mochizuki Oboro sat at another small table, enjoying the exciting scene from the spectator stands.
"Waaah, senior has to choose someone now." Castor picked up a baked potato: "It feels like choosing anyone is a death sentence."
"I can feel the tension even from this distance." Reines took a sip of her drink, seemingly unconcerned. "Erise, are you satisfied with the execution ground now?"
"Hehe," Eri said with a mysterious smile, having anticipated how the plot would unfold. "What kind of person do you all think his mother is?"
Medea swallowed the pancake in her mouth: "She's easy to talk to. But she can be a bit assertive when it comes to topics related to her senior."
“Overindulgent parents,” Abigail said, drawing on her sixth sense.
"You'll find out soon enough," Erise said, keeping everyone in suspense.
A certain artificial intelligence wouldn't miss such an opportunity either, and belatedly popped up.
Which one should I choose?
[Typhon? Epsilon? Or Lilith or Mary? Personally, I think Kiyohime and Sajō Ayaka would also be a good match, putting aside the potentially dangerous aspects?]
[Or perhaps, you prefer Lolita-type characters like Abigail and Medea? Reines is also nice, and Eri Se could be a good alternative.]
[With future parents and rivals around... the answers seniors make in this situation can profoundly impact the future development of their relationships with potential romantic interests.]
Those who are chosen will be very happy, while the girls who aren't chosen will feel deeply disappointed. This is perfectly understandable and common sense. Please consider this carefully.
During the pause, BB listed the most options ever.
Each person present can be selected, regardless of whether a specific route has been unlocked. Rewards are also related to the selected person.
Once words are spoken, there's no going back.
Please make a choice, senior:
