Because Erise kept beating him up when he played cops and robbers, Mochizuki Oboro had to switch to playing house, and this switch lasted for several years.
When Mochizuki Oboro began to take an interest in manga, Erise went into "forced recruitment mode," focusing on Gian and Nobita.
Later, Mochizuki Oboro became obsessed with visual novels and anime. Whenever she stayed in her room for more than three hours, Eri would turn into a nanny, burst into the room, and drag Mochizuki Oboro out to get some fresh air.
Now both of them are studying at Academy City Chaldea. Mochizuki Oboro lives in a single apartment, while Erise, finding it too troublesome, lives in the girls' dormitory instead. They no longer see each other all the time like before.
"I, your brother, will die soon," Mochizuki Oboro said calmly.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a reply: "Before you die, remember to borrow all the online loans you can and transfer the money to me."
"I was serious."
Are you playing Truth or Dare?
Wang Yuelong smiled.
It seems that playing with too much abstract stuff can have a backlash.
"If you haven't had dinner, it's my treat, same place as always." Mochizuki Oboro reluctantly unleashed her trump card.
Eri Sei quickly chimed in, "Wait for me for ten minutes."
Mochizuki Oboro sighed, got up and left the park.
The Academy City of Chaldea has a total of 23 school districts, with the 7th school district being the one where junior high and high schools are concentrated.
Chaldea's culinary scene is represented by District 4, a hub for all kinds of cuisines from around the world, where every taste can be satisfied.
But District 7 also has a unique restaurant: Longmian Pavilion.
Ryūmiên-tei specializes in high-end Japanese and Chinese cuisine, and its French dishes are also excellent. The prices are just within the range that students can afford, so many people also treat themselves here.
Mochizuki Oboro blew away the condensation from the rim of her cup: "Tuna sushi, and a serving of original tonkotsu ramen. You can order."
Eri didn't even look at it: "Original Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, Spicy Chicken, all of them extra spicy."
The waiter noted everything down, nodded, and left.
"Tell me, what exactly did you do?" Eri said, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Mochizuki Oboro, whose face was gloomy.
"Those who know, know; those who don't, I can't say much more. In short, the waters run very deep..."
Eri interrupted her directly: "Stop using your lame jokes. Just say what you want to say."
Mochizuki Oboro crossed her arms, striking a classic pose reminiscent of Gendo Ikari: "By conventional definition, you should be considered a beautiful girl."
"If you're thinking of borrowing money by praising me, you should save your breath." Eri took a sip of her juice.
"So, you must be surrounded by beautiful girls too," Mochizuki Oboro said, feigning profundity.
Eri sighed, "So you finally couldn't resist that primal desire in your heart and wanted to reach out to your junior?"
"No, I have my reasons."
As long as I can unlock one, I won't lose my sense of taste. That's my struggle!
Mochizuki Oboro pushed up glasses that weren't actually on her nose: "Please, introduce me to your friends."
Eri's expression became quite subtle.

Chapter 2 Roommate and Evil God Figurine
From a young age, Mochizuki Oboro pursued the so-called "beauty".
In his eyes, beauty can be human appearance, mind and behavior, or it can be natural scenery, laws and evolution.
Suddenly stopping passersby to ask meaningless questions, emptying one's wallet to buy antiques of unknown authenticity, holding up cats and dogs to have conversations with spirits, and often spending most of the day on visual novels or manga series... these are all things that Mochizuki Oboro has done.
Because some of these behaviors are quite far removed from human behavior, Eri has taken numerous corrective measures.
At this moment, Eri felt that if no one was around to supervise her, Mochizuki Oboro would immediately relapse into her old illness.
"If you can agree to a few conditions, I can try to introduce you to someone." Eri decided to take a gentler approach.
“I’ve changed my mind.” Mochizuki Oboro leaned back. “To be specific, there’s no need for you to introduce me to any friends for now.”
"?"
How long has it been? I just asked for help a minute ago, didn't I?
Eri touched her chin and began to replay in her mind the various suspicious behaviors of Mochizuki Oboro over the past few hours.
"You're not dead?"
"They're not dead."
"Call me next time you're about to die."
In the end, Eri gave up thinking about it.
Mochizuki Oboro exhibited similar behaviors far too often; in the past, these would have been part of his daily routine.
What Eri was unaware of was that she, an oddball, had encountered an even more odd AI.
[Congratulations on unlocking the side quest system and Galgame simulation system!]
[Side quests go without saying, but let's have the reliable BB explain the Galgame simulation for the senior.]
When a romanceable character's progress reaches 50% or 90%, the player will receive one opportunity to play a simulation game with that character as the main character.
As the name suggests, simulation games fall under the category of Galgames. And all of these games will be produced by BB.
[Slice of life, fantasy, and all sorts of other themes are possible. Stay tuned!]
BB's tone is practically a textbook example of what a little devil should be like.
[Next are the rewards for completing the main quest with the help of your predecessors.]
[Skill - The Allure of the Roots (E): Possesses a unique appeal.]
[Prop - The Mask of Deception: A one-time use prop. The wearer will be unable to reveal their true identity for half an hour after wearing it.]
Eri suddenly sensed some changes in Mochizuki Oboro, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
If I had to say, I feel he's a little closer to humanity.
The waiter quickly brought the food to the table; the several steaming, bright red plates looked like the gates of hell.
Sometimes, I'm curious about the structure of your taste buds and stomach.
The spiciness alone made Mochizuki Oboro squint, let alone put down her chopsticks.
To be fair, the quality of the dishes at Longmian Pavilion is indeed excellent, and every diner can enjoy their meal to the fullest.
But Mochizuki Oboro felt it would be even better if it were cheaper.
"That'll be 1230 QP in total," the cashier said with a smile.
Disposable property decreased by one-fifth.
Eri stretched and asked, "What's that on the back of your hand? A temporary tattoo?"
“It seems to be a real tattoo that can’t be removed,” Mochizuki Oboro replied.
"?!" Erise's eyes widened instantly. "A real tattoo? What are you trying to do?"
"Don't you think this is beautiful?" Mochizuki Oboro said sincerely, "A Möbius strip cut in half..."
"Fine, you win." Eri gave up struggling.
At worst, he can become a stay-at-home dad, which has nothing to do with me.
The night is slightly cooler.
As a world-renowned megacity, Chaldea possesses advanced technology that is decades ahead of the rest of the world, making it difficult to see the stars in the night sky.
The colorful advertising lights, the noisy cacophony, and the pedestrians coming and going.
Back in her apartment, Mochizuki Oboro lay on the sofa, still feeling that the day's events were somewhat unreal.
Tomorrow is the official start of the school year, and Mochizuki Oboro will have to move back to the boys' dormitory to continue her campus life.
The student dormitories at Finis Academy are all located outside the campus, not far from the school, only a few minutes' walk away.
Both male and female dormitories are four-person rooms, with an area of about 30 square meters, which is not too crowded.
Mochizuki Oboro's three roommates are Mandicardo, Charlemagne, and Karna, all of whom are easy to get along with.

Karna: I'm going back to my dorm.
Mandicardo: How many people are there?
Charlemagne: I don't think there will be too many.
Karna: It's just me.
Mochizuki Oboro: After all, there's a curfew when we go back.
Charlemagne: Looks like the three of us are still out there... Great! Let's go back to the dorm and have a big drink tomorrow!
Mandicardo: Still juice?
Karna: Alcohol is prohibited in the dormitory. You may choose cola or other beverages.
"Mochizuki: Do you have any good part-time job recommendations?"
Charlemagne: You're broke before school even starts... What did you buy this time?
"Mochizuki Oboro: (Evil God Figure.JPG)"
Karna: Ah, it's a rare item that sells for 3500 QP on a secondhand website.
"Mochizuki Oboro: I saw it when I got back to my apartment tonight. I got it for only 3000 QP."
Charlemagne: That's a truly impactful photograph.
Mandicardo: ...I'll inquire about part-time jobs for you.
The evil god figurine he recently purchased actually has a story behind it.
Artoria is a famous star in Chaldea, and almost everyone knows about the hit TV series "King Arthur" from last year.
The image of King Arthur in armor, holding the holy sword, has been made into a figure, with the official price being 998 QP.
Countless counterfeit manufacturers also wanted to capitalize on the trend, but among the countless imitation figures, one stunning design stood out and quickly attracted the attention of fans.
As the saying goes, ugliness to the extreme is beauty. Through various coincidences, the price of the limited-edition evil god surpassed that of the unlimited official version.
Although some manufacturers have tried to replicate the evil god, this figure was a stroke of genius, and it became so popular that even the original manufacturer couldn't make it anymore.
Mochizuki Oboro carefully put away the evil god figure with satisfaction. She still had about a thousand QP in her wallet, enough to eat for a month.
Utsumi Erise: (transfer)
The notification sound was like heavenly music.
Eri Utsumi: A. I don't think you'll have much money left after a vacation.
"Mochizuki Oboro: An Angel."
Eri Utsumi: Don't be late on the first day of school.
"Mochizuki Oboro: I'll pay you back when I have the money."
Eri Utsumi: There's no need. Just be grateful you buy fewer of those weird and unusual things.
The nights in early April were not yet hot, and a gentle breeze drifted in through the window, dispelling the pent-up restlessness.
Before going to sleep, Mochizuki Oboro checked the system information one last time.
