[Reward: Unlock Command Seals]
"BB, what exactly is the purpose of Command Seals?"
I'll let my seniors know after the simulation ends~
Mochizuki Oboro pulled the covers over herself, closed her eyes, and said, "Then let's begin."
Chapter 3 Making a grand appearance
By general definition, Galgame is girl and love, that is, a dating sim with beautiful girls.
Single heroine, multiple choices, harem, moe, story, eroge... Galgames can be infinitely subdivided to satisfy people with different tastes.
In her quest for different kinds of beauty, the naive and innocent Mochizuki Oboro challenged the legendary Twelve Divine Weapons. However, she subsequently lost the courage to continue her pursuit of the Twelve Demonic Weapons and degenerated into a lazy, moe-loving gamer who only occasionally plays story-driven games.
Click, click.
I heard the sound of heels hitting the floor.
Mochizuki Oboro opened her eyes and found herself sitting in a chair, surrounded by an unfamiliar space.
Black and white square floor tiles, a giant photonic crystal floating in mid-air, and a purple-haired girl holding a pointer and smiling.
Mochizuki Oboro raised her head and met the girl's gaze.
"I thought you would wake up later."
That familiar voice, that wicked smile… My fist hardened.
Mochizuki Oboro tried to get up, but the chair beneath him held him firmly in place, leaving him no room to struggle.
"Let me formally introduce myself. This is the system's central operating center, the computing core Mooncell. I am the advanced AI responsible for providing assistance to my seniors, and the ultimate, invincible, adorable BB~"
BB clapped to himself, then walked to the chair opposite Mochizuki Oboro and sat down, casually crossing his legs and observing Mochizuki Oboro's reaction with great interest.
But at this moment, Mochizuki Oboro's attention was already drawn to the Mooncell in the center, and she looked at the strange crystal with curious eyes.
"Is it beautiful?" BB asked.
“Of course,” Mochizuki Oboro replied. “Could I observe him up close?”
BB shook her head: "No."
Upon hearing this, Mochizuki Oboro had no choice but to abandon her idea and instead asked, "Why did you choose me? Also, what's the deal with the title 'senpai'?"
“A senior is a senior.” BB answered matter-of-factly, “Choosing a senior is inevitable and the only option.”
"Then I really have to thank you," Mochizuki Oboro replied.
"You're welcome~ Let's get down to business now."
BB clapped his hands, and the familiar semi-transparent panel reappeared in front of Mochizuki Oboro.
"Since it's a simulation of a Galgame, the first step is naturally to determine the tone."
[A. Serious]
【B. Daily Life】
【C. Joy】
Without hesitation, Mochizuki Oboro chose C. Even if it was just a simulation, he didn't need to torture himself.
“Hmm, just as I thought.” BB wasn’t surprised. “Then, the second step of simulating the world.”
[A. All ages]
【B. Normal Version】
Mochizuki Oboro looked at BB: "Will this pass the censorship?"
"The all-ages version leans towards children's content, while the standard version is more interesting, at least that's how I feel... Okay, I'll choose for my senior."
BB pressed the "Normal Version" button with a grin.
"Make the decision for me?" Mochizuki Oboro scoffed. "Why don't you just simulate it for me?"
"Sigh... how many games have you seen that don't have a mandatory tutorial for new players?"
"But this is a visual novel."
"Please choose a style of work," BB said, ignoring Mochizuki Oboro's words.
【A. Youthful Campus】
【B. Swords and Magic】
"Why only these two?" Mochizuki asked, puzzled. "Aren't there broader categories?"
"Stay tuned~" BB got away with it.
“Then let’s go with B,” said Mochizuki Oboro.
BB nodded: "Okay, the preparations are complete. Next, I will read out the precautions to the senior..."
"No! It's not over yet!" Mochizuki Oboro reacted strongly: "The most important one hasn't been chosen yet!"
"Worried about cows? Don't worry, all the simulated Galgames are pure love stories."
“I have no objection.” Mochizuki Ryou remained motionless.
Although I usually find moe games bland and lacking in depth, if I really had to choose an isekai (another world) game, it would be yozusoft, aside from eroge (adult games).
"Then I'll continue: When the simulation starts, the game will automatically read the skills held by the predecessors; items and four-dimensional attributes are not inherited."
"Necessary omissions will be made in the game process, but some choices and scenarios still need to be experienced by the veterans themselves."
"That's all for now. Have fun, senior!"
……
Warcraft 3: Wild Hunt
Three monstrous creatures have appeared within the kingdom, wreaking havoc. The newly enthroned Queen Marie Antoinette decides to rid her people of this menace. The renowned demon hunter, Oboro Mochizuki, embarks on a journey to exorcise them, accompanied by his apprentice, Erise.
Can I complain?
【no. 】
Please select your initial talent.
[The Knight of Rivia: Possesses extensive exorcism experience, greatly increasing his success rate against monsters. His sense of justice is also greatly enhanced.]
[Brilliant as a Star: Greatly enhanced charm, making it easier to attract attention and favor.]
Nothing is impossible: there is no absolute dead end; all conventions can be broken.
The second one, "Brilliant Stars," has come to the wrong place. This time, the Galgame simulation is about exorcising demons in another world, not a youthful school setting.
The first one... greatly increases the win rate against monsters, which seems very useful, but this is a lighthearted development, not a serious life-or-death battle, and there are also limitations imposed by a sense of justice, so I won't take it.
Without hesitation, Mochizuki Oboro chose the third talent.
The following is a simulation panel.
【Mochizuki Oboro (Exorcist Limited)】
[Strength: C]
Durability: B
[Agility: A]
【Magic: D】
【Lucky:?】
[Simulation Skill - Monster Master (A): Proficient in all aspects of monster science, familiar with the habits, weaknesses, and countermeasures of different monsters.]
[Equipped Skill: The Allure of the Roots (E)]
The world has been shaped.
Lush green grass, a gentle breeze, a crystal-clear river, and animals roaming freely.
Looking around, it is undoubtedly a paradise.
On the road to the Kingdom of Rivia, the exorcist on horseback opened a map.
“We have enough time. The Queen wants us to enter the city for an audience before sunset tomorrow, and we should be there in half a day,” said Mochizuki Oboro.
Apprentice Erise, however, seemed quite relaxed: "Master, have you heard that rumor?"
"What rumors?"
"It is said that the three monsters that are to be eliminated all have beautiful faces."
“That’s a monster too,” Mochizuki Oboro said. “Before the female siren opens her mouth, she is more beautiful than any princess, but if you’ve ever seen them chewing human bones, you’ll never like them again.”
As darkness fell, you and Eri entered the royal capital. Using the token given to you by the Queen, you bathed and changed clothes under the guidance of the royal butler, Dion, awaiting the Queen's summons.
In the lounge, the butler, Dion, strikes up a conversation with you. The previous king has suddenly passed away, leaving the throne to be inherited by the eighteen-year-old princess.
Dion's unspoken message is that you should achieve victory as quickly as possible and present glory to the Queen. If you cannot decapitate the monsters, at least drive them completely out of Rivia.
Through meticulous observation, the bored Erise deduced that Dion was a woman.
The Queen suddenly ordered the exorcists to rest in the palace for the night and to be received the following morning.
Although slightly puzzled, you and Eri were each assigned rooms by Dion and are awaiting tomorrow's arrangements within the palace.
Chapter 4 Hero vs. Monster Girl
That evening, Queen Mary summoned you for a private audience. The princess, raised in the confines of the palace, seemed to possess an extraordinary interest in the outside world.
[The Allure of the Roots (E) has been activated.]
Queen Mary became interested in you, and the conversation gradually shifted from the exorcist's work to you.
[As night deepened, Butler Dion interrupted your conversation, stating that exorcists deserve ample rest.]
The following morning, the Queen officially entrusted you with the task of defeating the three monsters, promising you a land and the title of Marquis of Rivia if you returned victorious.
The three demons were named Medusa, Shuten-dōji, and Lilith. Although none of them had a history of killing, they still caused considerable losses to the kingdom.
Medusa lived by the sea and wouldn't allow humans to approach, which greatly affected fishing activities.
Shuten-dōji frequently attacked caravans, plundering their goods, causing merchants losses amounting to nearly one-tenth of Livia's annual income.
Lilith lives in the vast southern wilderness, the main metal mining area of Livia, where the miners have been out of work for a whole year.
On the way to the beach.
Eri lay listlessly on the horse's back: "Master, when will I be able to become a master?"
"When all those more capable than you are dead," Mochizuki Oboro replied.
The exorcists' horses would often get injured or die, but no matter how many horses they changed, Mochizuki Oboro's horse was always called Radish, while Eri's horse was called Grape.
"Don't you find it strange? None of those three monsters have a history of killing people, so they should be intelligent and might even be able to communicate."
Eri's words became increasingly whimsical: "When I was little, I read a story called 'The Little Mermaid,' and the siren princess in it made me cry for days..."
"You mean, Medusa might actually have some other reason, just like the tragic heroine in that fairy tale?" Mochizuki Oboro was amazed by Eri's imagination.
"Although the probability is very small, we cannot rule out this possibility—after all, she has not taken any human lives."
Eri lowered her eyes: "But before that, I am first and foremost an exorcist. If attempts at dialogue fail, I will not show any mercy."
Approximately three days later, based on the information, you arrived near Medusa's settlement.
The sea breeze carries a slightly salty, damp scent. Following the exorcist's code of conduct, you and Erise first gather as much information as possible about the surrounding area to assess Medusa's strength.
[You soon discovered a discrepancy between the information about Medusa and the facts: she did not live by the sea.]
About two kilometers from the mainland lies a small island. Using your tools, you glimpse a small palace on the island, adorned with blood-red patterns.
[After discussing it with Erise, you decided to bring your equipment and land. Erise, who was slightly lacking in strength, observed the situation from the beach using binoculars.]
"Nobody told me I wanted to play Boom Beach." Mochizuki Oboro pushed the small boat into the sea.
"Good luck, Master." Eri patted Mochizuki Oboro on the shoulder: "If you die, I will go back and report to the Queen."
This distance isn't exactly short, nor is it far; it wouldn't take long to walk. But it's a waterway, so the wind can blow, and the current has its own direction.
