In the past, Mochizuki Oboro hadn't intentionally had models wear these clothes, but now it seems they can indeed stimulate inspiration.
Mochizuki Oboro even unusually abandoned her notebook and drawing pencils, instead using a professional combination of canvas and paint, just to make Atalanta feel that she was indeed working as a "model".
"The next one is..."
"Female ninja."
[Strategy Progress Updates]
Atalanta: 35%
Chapter 180 Miner Tower Cat
Half past four in the afternoon.
The transaction is complete. The various versions of Atalanta—bunny girl, female ninja, nurse uniform, gothic outfit, etc.—are incredibly alluring on the canvas, their unique charm blending shyness and intellect making them a true treasure for visual enjoyment.
"Um, you wouldn't show this to anyone else, would you?" Atalanta, having changed her clothes, tugged at her skirt.
To be honest, the several hours of filming were embarrassing, but fortunately it was done in a private suite with a high degree of privacy, and the only audience member was Mochizuki Oboro, so Atalanta could accept it.
"Of course not. Whether good or bad, I only keep my works to myself. You can come in and take a look too."
Mochizuki Oboro pushed open the door to the storage room and put the newly finished painting inside.
Various paintings and sculptures are displayed in the window, most of which are works created after entering high school, while earlier works are placed in cabinets.
This room is enough to prove that Mochizuki Oboro's frequent mention of "source material" is not just empty talk.
In terms of portraits, figures such as Kuonji Yuju, Tsutsumi, Ipsilon, and Sajo Aika are all featured, and there are also many abstract paintings composed of lines and color blocks, which may leave one puzzled at first glance.
It features mostly natural landscapes. The game includes simulated scenery, the dazzling night view of Academy City, ordinary buildings, and the breathtaking natural wonders.
Atalanta could even see paintings of animals. Kittens, giraffes, horses, rhinoceroses, pandas…
With hundreds of paintings and sculptures of various shapes, Atalanta felt as if she had entered Mochizuki Oboro's private exhibition.
"Wow, that's amazing. Did you start creating art from a very young age?"
"To be precise, it was when I was seven and a half years old. There isn't enough space here to display them all, so about 70% of the works are still in the cabinets," Mochizuki Oboro said.
I really have to thank Boss Artoria for the suite.
In short, it's all about loyalty. From now on, I'll be working for Camelot.
5:45 PM, music store.
With a budget of 5888 QP, Atalanta and Mochizuki Oboro stepped into the elegantly decorated shop.
Buying a top-of-the-line piano wouldn't be enough, but if it's just for children to practice on, an electric piano would be much cheaper, and that's enough money.
“Welcome.” Antonio Salieri rose to greet him.
Mochizuki Oboro greeted him, "Hello, teacher."
“It’s you. So your exploration of the realm of art is finally turning to musical instruments?” Salieri said with a smile.
“I plan to practice musical instruments in college. My high school plans are to practice painting and sculpture,” said Mochizuki Oboro.
A question mark appeared above Atalanta's head: "Do you two know each other?"
Salieri explained, "I also work as a music teacher at Finis Academy, and Mochizuki left a deep impression on me."
“That’s right,” Mochizuki Oboro said.
Salieri had many questions when he saw Mochizuki Oboro step into the shop. According to the information he had received from Dion, Mary had been getting quite close to Mochizuki Oboro recently, and if she wanted to learn the piano, she could just go to the villa there without having to spend any more money.
In retrospect, Mochizuki Oboro was merely an accompanying person.
“I see. A piano for children to practice with.” Salieri nodded. “An electric piano would be good; it’s easy to transport and install, and it’s perfectly adequate for practice.”
Since they were acquaintances, Atalanta didn't have as many concerns. She had done some research beforehand to avoid any pitfalls, but now she probably didn't need to do that.
"How about this one? You can try it out yourself to see the specific sound quality. The sound of an instrument is far more powerful than human words."
Atalanta glanced at the price: 6588, which was acceptable. She could get it with a little more money.
"The high and low registers... and this area... are performing well."
Mochizuki Oboro had no objections after the test was completed.
"This one will do," Atalanta decided immediately. She wanted to surprise Tongyao and the others after dinner.
Salieri nodded: "4988 QP".
"?"
Isn't the listed price 6588 QP?
"Special offer. Academy City has recently launched subsidies, plus discounts for acquaintances, so this price is quite normal."
It wouldn't be unreasonable to give it away directly out of consideration for Mochizuki Oboro, but it would be better to charge a symbolic fee.
……
It's 10 PM at the kindergarten.
Inside a private room.
Atalanta felt her face burning just thinking about what happened during the day.
While modeling in the suite at the Camelot Entertainment Center, Atalanta still felt a thrill, even though the clothes she wore were far from the special costumes she was wearing and no key parts were exposed.
Bunny girl, nurse, female ninja—they all look like characters from an adult game… I hope it’s just my imagination.
Besides this, what Atalanta didn't point out was that she saw a notebook for finding derivatives in the corner of the storage room.
It's normal for boys in puberty to have those desires, but it can be very embarrassing and awkward if they actually encounter them.
After all, Mochizuki Oboro gave Atalanta the impression of a man who seemed to have nothing to do with that kind of thing.
I guess I still find myself indulging in self-pleasure when I'm alone. Ultimately, we're all human beings with desires.
Atalanta is able to sleep alone tonight, which is rare for her: it was originally Nursery Rhyme and Jack's turn, but the two little ones thoughtfully said they wanted their sister to get some peace and quiet for the night.
Having spent so long playing the roles of older sister and teacher in kindergarten, Atalanta suddenly found herself at a loss for what to do when she had free time.
When I try to clear my mind, my thoughts are filled with memories of the day.
For some reason, Atalanta's mind was filled with Mochizuki Ryou's eyes, gaze, voice, and scent.
"...It must be because he's been suppressing his feelings for too long."
Atalanta suddenly sat up and shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off some increasingly outrageous fantasies from her mind.
However, unreasonable Servant-specific attack skills are not so easy to resist.
The more you try to break free, the tighter the restraints become. Like spider silk, it slowly wraps around you, and by the time you realize what's happening, you're already unable to move.
For a long time, Atalanta was busy with kindergarten affairs: teaching, cooking, cleaning... and even sleeping with the little girls in the kindergarten at night.
The result is that instinctive needs have been neglected for a long time.
“Ignore it…ignore it…no, I can’t suppress it.” Atalanta let out a mournful cry.
Atalanta seemed to have made up her mind, carefully locked the door, and then returned to her bed.
In terms of self-regulation and relief, men and women are actually quite similar.
The only difference is the "elegant name." The essence of both the captain's and the miner's work is to release accumulated desires and regain composure.
Miner Cat suddenly discovered a serious problem... actually, it wasn't that serious.
—In terms of material selection, Atalanta could find no one else.
"Woo..."
If someone finds out about my fantasies about younger men, my life would be over, right?

Chapter 181 It is normal for Yue Yi and Leng Erying to openly plot in front of the parties involved.
What is it like to be overthrown by your own creation?
BB was able to answer: Not good.
Although Meltryllis had always been rather rebellious, BB thought she was at most just a little disobedient. He never expected her to actually rebel and take his place.
BB is now like an incompetent husband. Without Mooncell's management, he can only watch helplessly as his predecessor is manipulated by Meltryllis...
AI is a helper to humans, while BB and other lunar AIs are tools specifically for Mochizuki Oboro. Whether BB or Kazuradrop takes office, their primary duties will not change much.
However, Meltryllis is the most personalized AI. It prioritizes its own quirks, interests, and thoughts over its purpose as an AI, acting completely arbitrarily and irresponsibly as an administrator.
The virtual world, the lunar city of Chaldea.
“Isn’t this the previous mascot? Of course, we’d welcome you as a player,” Meltryllis said, elegantly crossing her legs.
BB's lips twitched: "I didn't plan to make that side quest turn out like this."
"I already said it's your plan. What I do is entirely up to my own interests." Meltryllis chuckled. "If you're unhappy, you can always push me off the stage and take back the spotlight girl position, okay?"
"So confident?" BB said, sitting on the sofa opposite Meltryllis.
Meltryllis adopted a matter-of-fact attitude: "If I don't even have the courage to take on challenges, I'm not qualified to be the perfect, cute, and powerful second generation."
"I knew it. And then, what are you planning to do next?"
As she spoke, BB tried to log in to Mooncell with administrator privileges without much hope, and unsurprisingly, it ended in failure.
“Push him to work on the main quest. He hasn’t even touched the romance quest yet. Is he really going to drag this out until college?” Meltryllis shook his head and sighed. “It’s just about getting a girlfriend. Whether it’s Typhon or Lilith, as long as he asks, a whole bunch of Servants will flock to him.”
On this point, the two AIs reached a deep consensus.
BB echoed in agreement: "That's right. If you think having a girlfriend means you won't have time to explore art, why don't you just explain it to them properly?"
“That’s right. But it seems that’s how the Master thinks, and we have to use external forces to correct it.” Meltryllis changed the subject.
It started with Aika Sajou, which made Oboro Mochizuki feel that it was okay to make concessions.
Then it was BB's turn, and that guy started eating right away, which made Mochizuki Oboro realize that it didn't matter.
There should still be one last line of defense. Meltryllis believes that once that line is breached, she can become the perfect poster girl, brilliantly resolving the issue of Mochizuki Oboro's delayed progress on the main quest.
"Judging from your expression, you want to start right away?" BB saw through Meltryllis's thoughts at a glance.
Meltryllis rested her chin on her hand: "Why not? As an AI, isn't it our job to help our Master get rid of unnecessary formalities?"
“While it’s not exactly a reminder,” BB changed his tone, “try to curb your sadistic tendencies when you’re doing serious work. According to the simulation, the senior seems to prefer taking the initiative.”
"I'll try my best," Meltryllis hummed an unnamed tune.
BB casually asked, "By the way, when are you planning to make your move?"
"Let me think... if we haven't officially confirmed our relationship by the start of summer vacation, I'll reluctantly take the initiative to do it myself."
"It's good that I'm not around; I'm not arrogant anymore."
The two generations of mascot girls chatted in the mayor's mansion of the virtual lunar city of Chaldea, which only Servants such as Kazuradrop and Passionlip were qualified to enter directly.
The luxurious decorations woven from data far surpass reality, with tiny blue light particles floating on the dreamlike blue floor tiles, not much different from SE.RA.PH.
Kazuradrop, hands on her hips, looked on with amusement: "Wow, that's rare. You guys can talk so harmoniously."
"There should be some leniency towards the losers."
With her eyes closed, Meltryllis raised her swan-like, fair, and slender neck, radiating confidence.
BB's face displayed an extremely interesting expression.
From shock and confusion to sneer, it only took three seconds. Getting it into the acting department's textbook would be a piece of cake.
"If it has to be done, can I be on top?" Mochizuki Oboro asked calmly.
Passionlip exclaimed, "So Master can occasionally show a sense of humor in situations like this."
Kingprotea peeked out the window and asked, "Um, can we go play with Master next?"
Meltryllis: (⊙_⊙)?
