"Essential skills?" Mochizuki Oboro raised an eyebrow.
"To lend a helping hand to melancholy beauties and then leave behind a beautiful story of an encounter."
Tristan opened his eyes and changed the subject: "Of course, there's also wrestling."
"What is that?" Just hearing the pronunciation gave Mochizuki Oboro a bad feeling.
A dressing room with clattering wardrobes, a fire brigade stationed in Shin-Nichiburi, a deep, dark fantasy dungeon, a muscular man in a leather jacket, and a fairy slowly emerging from the forest...
Where did this memory come from?!
Percival put on sunglasses, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "It's a close-quarters combat event where two men fight each other without weapons or armor, relying solely on their physical strength to determine the winner. This is a traditional event of our Knights of the Round Table."
Gawain nodded in agreement: "Every Knight of the Round Table must participate in wrestling matches to compete for the title of the strongest on the Round Table."
"Should I participate too?" Mochizuki Oboro was still hesitant.
Kai put his hand on Mochizuki Oboro's shoulder: "Of course, kid. Give it a try after you've eaten and drunk your fill."
Shortly after.
A full hour had passed since the contract was signed.
Agguwen had already guessed that it was those bastards up to their tricks again.
As the foreman stepped into the world of the seventh floor, before he could even take a good look, a philosophical atmosphere rushed towards him.
"Stand still!"
"FaQ~"
After the domain unfolded, countless powerful male soul (♂) symbols floated almost materially in the air with the battle cry, and the thrilling fighting match was in full swing.
Agguiwen's expression changed, and he quickly walked into the gym on the seventh floor.
Inside the locker room, Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, and Percival were all watching, while Mordred, not wanting to miss out on the fun, joined in the commotion.
Mochizuki Oboro and Kai were already locked in combat. In this world of men without weapons or armor, a strong physique was the only truth.
"Not bad!" Kai wiped his nose. "He can actually hold his own against Servants like us."
“Physical strength, dexterity, and intuition.” Mochizuki Oboro twisted her neck. “If a head-on confrontation won’t work, I can only start with technique.”
"It's almost over! Watch this move!" Kai darted forward: "Peerless Giant Cucumber!"
Agguiwen couldn't bear to look.
Savage, childish. Even their taste in naming is so vulgar.
"enough!"
……
A moment later, in Artoria's room.
“I was eating and didn’t go out. It sounds like you had a lot of fun,” Knight King said, crossing his legs.
Wang Yue's eyes darted around: "Very enthusiastic. A little too enthusiastic."
"Being able to exchange a few blows with Lancelot and the others proves your ability," Artoria teased. "How's my bathroom here?"
You'll naturally sweat after a wrestling match. As soon as Mochizuki Oboro entered, Artoria shoved her personal attendant into the bathroom without a word.
Mochizuki Oboro glanced at the large bathrobe she was wearing: "The bathroom is alright. But I feel like my current situation is a bit strange."
"Let's just change into a different outfit and go back. Camelot sells clothes anyway, so we can just pick one."
"Can't we change it now?"
"No rush. Let me tell you about the work arrangements for the future first."
Mochizuki Oboro was actually quite anxious. But since Artoria said so, she had no choice but to comply.
"Handle documents, manage daily life, and attend some unimportant meetings in my place. In short, I'll send you a message when I need you."
"Isn't this just a secretary?"
When did you decide that a personal attendant wasn't a secretary?
Artoria leaned back lazily on the sofa and picked up a slice of pizza.
Whether it was Melly or Miss Avalon who did it, a sudden gust of wind blew loosened Mochizuki Oboro's bathrobe, leaving him feeling cold.
However, the Alter-transformed Knight King wouldn't be surprised by such a small matter.
“Heh,” Artoria smiled wickedly, “I didn’t expect you to have such good looks.”
"...Does it count as a work-related injury?"
The Knight King inadvertently unlocked an achievement: One of the few people who have seen Mochizuki Oboro Excalibur.
If we set aside simulations, there aren't actually that many people who can glimpse the "truth."
Due to their job duties, the AIs have all seen BB, Meltryllis, Kazuradrop, Kingprotea, and Passionlip.
Tiamat, as the guardian, and Eri, his childhood friend, had naturally seen it, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
...It doesn't seem like there are very few.
[Conquering the King of Knights with overwhelming charm...doesn't this feel a bit like an episode from the underworld?]
[But you can give it a try if you want. With so many normal romance storylines, how about a pure love character with a "training" element?]
[By the way, my understanding of pure love can also be pure romantic love.]
Mochizuki Oboro expressionlessly retied her bathrobe, ignoring Meltryllis's urging.
Although there were quite a few unexpected events today, at least the schedule was completed.
Oh, right.
"What are you thinking about?"
[While researching, I discovered a type of doujinshi (fan-made comics) where the protagonist can't leave the room unless they have sex or get pregnant.]
Want to try it? I can directly bring you and the specified object in!
[To personally corrupt a noble woman seems to be a kind of XP. What do you think?]
"I choose the obtuse angle."

Chapter 173 Welcome to Chaldea
Aztec mainly deals in digital products, Avalon focuses on software development, while Liangyi's business is much more diversified.
Daily necessities, supermarkets, amusement parks, and offices.
—Liangyi Company is involved in the packaging and management of voice actors, idols, singers, actors, and various other public professions.
On the table in Ryougi Shiki's room was a performance plan for the opening ceremony of the Daihasei Festival. As is customary, the opening ceremony performance each year was performed by artists from her company.
But this year is an exception.
At Ms. Tsuru's insistence, Ryougi Shiki agreed to allow Mochizuki Oboro to perform on stage.
Although Shiki did something amazing to that guy, she actually had no desire for him.
Zhi wasn't actually that interested; she just wanted to add some variety to her mundane life.
Ryougi Shiki wasn't sure why Mochizuki Oboro had such a strong attraction for Servants, but that aura didn't seem to have any effect on her. Besides, Ryougi Shiki also felt that she had some similarities with Mochizuki Oboro.
"Asagami, what's trending lately?" Ryougi Shiki asked, holding an ice cream spoon in her mouth.
Asagami Fujino thought for a moment, then took out a box of cards.
"It's probably this 'Servant Kill'. The Knights of the Round Table's booster packs are selling like hotcakes. It's said that a gold-plated, shimmering Tristan with open eyes can fetch a high price of 150 QP. A lot of people are gambling on it."
A card pack costs only 10 QP, which is quite tempting.
Ryougi Shiki responded with an "Oh," and said, "I'm not too familiar with the rules of the main game, but booster packs are all games that involve gambling on probability."
It sounds similar to opening card packs in Yu-Gi-Oh!
When she has free time, Ryougi Shiki will also play Yu-Gi-Oh!, but she is the kind of player who does whatever she wants and only plays the deck she likes - Sky Striker.
Incidentally, Asagami Fujino is a loyal Silver Castle player. She's also skilled in Golden Country.
"Besides that... that VR game is about to be released too." Asagami Fujino looked expectant: "Virtual reality, I wonder if it will allow you to experience the atmosphere of a horror movie in person?"
"Virtual things can be used for entertainment, but ultimately reality is more important."
Ryougi Shiki casually flipped through the internal handbook: "Moreover, the starting price of the equipment is 2888 QP, which is not an easy amount for most students."
VR devices that allow users to be completely immersed in a virtual data world are naturally not cheap. This is not a public welfare project; it's just a profit-making game.
Asagami Fujino pinched her chin: "Speaking of which, Ryougi-san, are you about to take on a new project plan?"
“Yes,” Ryougi Shiki sighed, “it’s about training artist groups.”
Asagami Fujino didn't think it was a big deal: "Isn't it fine? The company is very skilled at training artists. They just find amateurs step by step, train them, and then allocate resources accordingly."
"Let's forget about assembly-line style products. Any experienced agent in a company could produce a combination like that."
Ryougi Shiki leaned back on the sofa: "Even though it's just a practice project, I want to try something different."
"For example?"
"How about using 'yin and yang' as inspiration to create a male and female idol group?"
"He's going to die."
Asagami Fujino's speech gradually quickened: "Being an idol is essentially just a profession. They sell personas, dreams, and expectations, and respond to the emotional needs of their fans. Therefore, many fans have a sense of possessiveness. If they see their idol interacting closely with other members of the opposite sex, they may even turn their love into hatred and do a series of things that are even more terrible than those of anti-fans."
If Ryougi Shiki were to actually do that, Asagami Fujino thinks there's a 400% chance it would cause a stir.
"Being an idol must be really tough."
Ryougi Shiki scratched her cheek: "If we don't use idols as a gimmick, what if we change the format? For example, a song and dance group?"
"There is no essential difference. As long as there is bundling and marketing, it will affect the nature of the group. Even if you are called a song and dance group, people will spontaneously regard them as idols."
"So complicated."
Ryougi Shiki's task was not to directly act as an agent, but to act as the behind-the-scenes leader, setting the general direction of development and providing resource support.
The task of discovering ordinary people can be delegated to talent scouts or agents, and even the decision of their development direction can be left to agents. If you're lazy, Ryougi Shiki can simply give any instructions, and someone in the company will naturally be willing to do it for you.
However, that would negate the benefits of exercise.
Suddenly, Ryougi Shiki had an inspiration.
……
May 13th, Saturday.
Today is the official release date of the game Chaldea.
Despite the lack of prior announcement, less than half a month of pre-launch hype, and the relatively high price of the VR device (2888 QP), the technology of virtual reality has still sparked a new wave of enthusiasm, with long queues of players waiting to buy it.
The overwhelming advertising swept through every user in the information age, with videos and images everywhere. The sensory simulation that was so close to reality gave the first players a feeling they had never experienced before.
Camelot Entertainment Center has purchased a significant amount of equipment through internal channels and established corresponding entertainment areas to ensure that customers have a relatively high-quality user experience.
Executives such as Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, and Kay have their own rooms on non-business floors, equipped with the latest VR devices, eliminating the need for them to purchase them separately.
The same applies to a newly appointed close attendant.
While not as extravagant as the owner Artoria's room that occupies half a floor, Mochizuki Oboro's personal room in Camelot is still quite large.
"The employee benefits are indeed quite good..."
Typhon's lips twitched, and he pointed to the strange room: "But can you tell me why there are so many VR devices? What are you trying to do?"
Sajou Aika stepped forward arrogantly, spreading her arms wide: "Of course, it was the thoughtful, reliable, and perfect me who installed this for Your Highness. From now on, whenever you want to play, just connect here online."
Rather than playing online with so many people, Aika Sajou naturally preferred a sweet duo queue with Oboro Mochizuki.
However, fulfilling his needs in advance is also an essential lesson for a wife.
Hehe, I bet my heart-fluttering points have skyrocketed. Sajō Aika couldn't help but start imagining.
"Isn't this a modern data center?" Ipsilon grumbled.
A moment later, in the virtual world.
