Mochizuki Oboro disagreed: "Humans have desires. When you see someone of the opposite sex who matches your aesthetic standards, you want to reproduce. This is a normal mental activity. I've never hidden it. If I think someone is beautiful, I want to take pictures of them. You're the same."
"Don't you think what you said to me went a bit too far? It could even be considered sexual harassment."
"I'm just saying it, but you actually did it."
"Haha~ Could it be that you want to experience it again, senior?"
"No need." Mochizuki Oboro tapped the table lightly with her index finger. "Tell me how you want to overthrow the current administrator. Meltryllis is definitely listening right now."
Whenever Rongguang's comeback is mentioned, BB straightens her back and her face is full of determination, as if she's about to plant a flag on her back.
"What I'm going to execute is an open and aboveboard plan, a plan that Meltryllis will be unable to devise."

Chapter 225 Please Respect Our Worldview
May 30th?@1〦霖漆虾事VII似〈五?锍日。
The virtual game world of Chaldea.
In this game with an absurdly high degree of freedom, some people farm, some mine, and some even deliver food.
After a period of preparation, the ambitious players finally decided to tackle the initial main story dungeon.
The prologue singularity isn't particularly difficult; it mainly serves as a beginner's guide, at least that's what Meltryllis says.
Before the teleportation portal, Kazuradrop cleared his throat and explained, "We will provide customized beginner guidance services, so it is normal that we cannot meet up temporarily after teleporting to the target location. Don't worry."
"Splitting up?" Mochizuki Oboro poked her head out and asked.
“That’s right~ Let’s start the spirit transfer now.” Kazuradrop pressed the start button with a smile.
The spirit particle transfer frame slowly closed, and the players preparing to enter the dungeon seemed to see endlessly spiraling blue particles, as if forming a passage through time and space.
In a hazy state of consciousness, Wang Yuelong glimpsed a few lines of small text as a hint.

"Entering the prologue"
……
The Humanity Survival Guarantee Organization, Phineas Chaldea, is an institute and observatory that brings together researchers from all fields, including magic and science, to ensure the continuation of human history.
The fundamental purpose is singular: to prevent civilization from heading towards destruction.
In the medical room.
"Welcome. May I ask your name?" Dr. Roman, who was slacking off, put down the strawberry cake in his hand and showed a very standard, friendly smile.
Wang Yuelong: "Guess."
"Please don't break down the wall so easily." Dr. Roman put his hands together: "Just think of it as playing a large-scale role-playing game."
Can I register a screen name?
"It's up to you. This part is like the tutorial screen for new players in a game, so you can enter whatever you want. But considering the later story dialogue, I still recommend that you choose a name."
"Then let's use my real name. Mochizuki Oboro will do."
“Very good. Well then, welcome to Chaldea.”
Dr. Roman reached out and said, "Group A is only missing you. Go and greet your colleagues and the director as soon as possible. Your room is 514."
Mochizuki leaned back, holding a "Worldview and Terminology Handbook" in her hand: "We'll go later, I haven't memorized all of this yet."
"It's okay. Your character is set up as an ordinary person with great magical talent who has never been exposed to information from the mystical side before. It's more in line with your character setting that you know nothing."
Dr. Roman raised his index finger: "When you encounter unfamiliar terms, just give him a 'Huh? What are you talking about?' look, and Professor Da Vinci and the director will automatically explain it to you~~"
……
Although there is only one Master in reality, Oboro Mochizuki, in the game's setting, Chaldea recruited quite a few Masters with Spirit Transfer Adaptability from all over the world in order to restore humanity.
Among them, the group with the highest average combat strength and the most anticipated is 'Group A'. The number of members was originally 8, but it was adjusted to 7 for unknown reasons.
Captain Kirshtalia Wodim, the chairman of the Astronomy Department, one of the twelve disciplines of the Clock Tower, is the young master of the prestigious Wodim family.
Kadoc Zemrups, though just an ordinary magician, possesses a high aptitude for spirit transfer. He appears somewhat unremarkable in the talent-filled Group A.
Ophelia Famsolone, a top student in the Conjuration Department. She is a special Mystic Eye holder.
Hinako Akuta is a well-known voice actress in the real world, but her character in the game is someone who likes to read a book alone in a corner.
Scandinavian Peperoncino, real name Myōrenji Kararou, is a freelance magician whom Marisbury met and recruited during his travels. He is cheerful, witty, and popular, but his identity remains unknown.
Mochizuki Oboro, the true protagonist. Having recently become aware of his true nature, he is now rapidly heading towards becoming a pervert and a scoundrel.
Debit Zem Void, who neither intends to understand anyone nor be understood by anyone. A dangerous figure specializing in Heritage Studies.
Just in case, there are dozens of Masters in Chaldea, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, the task of restoring humanity will be entrusted to the seven members of Group A.
Inside the exclusive lounge for Group A.
After a brief self-introduction, the seven people had a general understanding of each other. Although they didn't expect to become friends, basic harmony was still necessary.
"Mochizuki-kun is the only Master, right? I'm so envious. In reality, I'm neither a Servant nor a Master, just an ordinary esper." Peperonchino started the conversation in a friendly manner.
Kadoc's face stiffened: "Look at the script. Why don't I have any scenes later on?"
"Don't break down the fourth wall too easily; actors should have the awareness of actors," Debit said calmly.
Before the official introduction to the newbies in the prologue began, he even forced the old director to think outside the box, which led to Olga Marie taking over.
"It's just a game anyway~ relax." Peperoncino put one hand on his hip: "We didn't have any scenes in the first main story, what about Mochizuki-kun?"
“I didn’t receive the script,” Mochizuki Oboro said.
Ophelia stroked her chin: "The opening requirement for the prologue singularity Fuyuki is that a player possessing the 'Lunar King's Authority' enters, and none of us have that skill."
Hinako Akuta glanced at him and said, "Isn't it great? I can slack off whenever I want."
*Yue*/Yi - First Release She never expected that her first encounter with Mochizuki Oboro would be in a game before the real-life movie started filming.
Kirshtalia began, "Before you arrived, the six of us exchanged information, and it turns out that none of us have a role in the main storyline of the first part."
“At least respect the immersive experience of role-playing games…” Debit said helplessly.
"Ahem—" Peperonchino snapped his fingers: "Even though it's just a temporary experience in the game, we're still temporary Masters, so how about we share some information about our Servants?"
Kadoc shook his head: "The information is top secret. Revealing the Servant's true name will only..."
“I hear a horse neighing over here,” Peperoncino selectively ignored.
“Tescatlipoca, the chairman of that Aztec corporation.” Debit automatically followed.
Hinako Akuta: "Yang Yuhuan."
Ophelia: "Scáthach."
Kirshtalia looked at Kadoc: "It's just a game, relax. My Servants are Atlas and Odysseus."
"How come you have two?!" Kadoc's pupils dilated in shock.
Kirshtalia responded with a mysterious smile.
"And you, Kadoc-senpai?" Mochizuki Oboro asked curiously.
“…Moriarty.” Kadoc lowered his head and said wearily, “In the real world, I often go to the bar he owns.”
Chapter 226 Singularity·Fuyuki
Maris Billy, with a white triangle on his forehead, was wandering around.
Although he is dead in the backstory, it doesn't affect his eating and entertainment.
“The main theater is up ahead, so don’t go in,” Dr. Roman stopped Maris Billy. “Now that filming is finished, you should stay backstage.”
Maris Billy chuckled: "I am a ghost, so in principle you can't see or touch me, so you can't stop me."
"The dead should stay in the underworld, don't come out and cause trouble!" Dr. Roman pushed Maris Billy away from the vicinity of the conference room without further ado, sending him back directly.
Mochizuki Oboro looked at Ophelia on her right: "Is Chaldea all this free?"
“Pretty much.” Ophelia stated calmly, “You’ll have to line up early for lunch, or this ghost will cut in line.”
“The chairman I remember wasn’t this… eccentric.” Mochizuki Oboro chose her words carefully.
"Reality is tiring enough, so what's wrong with letting loose a little in the world of fantasy?" Peperoncino didn't think it was a problem.
Kirshtalia, walking at the front of the group, reminded them: "The meeting starts at 8:30, quicken your pace, don't be late."
With Mochizuki Oboro's official arrival, the main storyline of this game can finally begin. Olga Marie isn't the only one who's been waiting; so are the rest of Team A, who have nothing much to do.
No sooner had I sat down than the bell rang, signaling the start of my business.
Olga Marie on the stage glanced around and nodded slightly after confirming that all the attendees were present.
"I won't go into the rules of the meeting again; let's get straight to the point. The disappearance of the light of humanity simulated by Chaldea means that human civilization is about to come to an end..."
Olga Marie recited her lines, which she had memorized long ago. If the world outside the main storyline is an incredibly free virtual reality, then the main storyline is a large-scale role-playing game where everyone has their own script.
What the actors didn't know was that the game didn't require absolute adherence to the script, and occasional improvisation was acceptable; Meltryllis simply didn't mention it to avoid causing trouble.
For no apparent reason, Mochizuki suddenly felt drowsy. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and the surrounding light, shadows, and sounds gradually faded away. His consciousness unknowingly drifted into darkness.
Kadoc subtly nudged Mochizuki Oboro with his right thigh, trying to wake the warrior who had fallen asleep while the director was speaking.
failure.
Just as Kirshtalia was about to offer a reminder, Olga Marie's gaze swept over, forcing her to stop what she was doing before she could even begin.
“Sleeping? Even members of Group A will be punished.” Olga Marie’s gaze turned cold. “Professor Rafe, please ask him to leave. He should stand there until the meeting is adjourned.”
The script doesn't include sleeping during the operations meeting segment. We're still role-playing and must act as the director.
If we don't punish Mochizuki Oboro, what will happen if others feel that the director has no authority?
Slapping him directly is too rude; it's better to let him sober up first.
While pondering when to detonate the explosives, Rafe went to Mochizuki Oboro's side and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner: "Wake up, we should go outside."
What a lucky guy.
……
The deafening explosion brought forth a blazing inferno, rocks rained down, and the urgent alarms and red lights turned everything in sight a chilling crimson.
Outside the conference room, Mochizuki had only one thought.
"It's quite realistic."
"Don't just stand there, Mochizuki-kun! I'll go activate the emergency backup power. You go search the conference room for survivors!" Dr. Roman gave the order and then ran off anxiously.
He was afraid he would burst out laughing if he acted for even one more second.
Wang Yuelong gave an "oh" and walked into the meeting room expressionlessly.
Kirstalia, Kadoc, Peperoncino, Ophelia, Debit, and Hinako all wore the same white triangular paper badges as the old director, signifying that they had finished filming.
Seven people looked at each other, their clothes abandoned, and their silken threads disappeared.
This time, it was Peperoncino who broke the silence first: "Bye~~ Let's go."
"This concludes the prologue," Debit said. "Although there's no combat system to guide us, we've at least finished introducing the world-building."
"Good luck~" Hinako Akuta waved her hand dismissively: "Remember to practice your lines more, so you don't hold me back when we're making the movie."
Kirshtalia returned a polite smile.
Ophelia encouraged us, "We won't be appearing in the main storyline, but you'll still see us in the lounge, so don't be too sad."
"Can this atmosphere really make you sad?" Mochizuki Oboro complained.
"Click——!!!"
With a director's air about her, Kazuradrop said irritably, "If that one over there is dead, hurry up and get out of the scene! There's more to the story!"
After driving away Ophelia and the other six, before Mochizuki Oboro could speak, Kazuradrop opened a portal and kicked him inside.
