Charlemagne patted Mochizuki Oboro on the shoulder: "If you're short on funds, just ask. I still have a little bit here."
Although Mochizuki Ryou's spending is unplanned, she is very trustworthy and never delays repayment even when she borrows money.
For this reason, those familiar with Mochizuki Oboro would not refuse to lend a little money for an urgent need.
After confirming that Mochizuki Oboro intended to take a part-time job instead of doing extreme survival, the other three were slightly relieved and took out the ingredients they had prepared.
They planned to have a meal together inside the dormitory.
The Finis student dormitory is not crowded. With prior application, it is permissible to use induction cookers and other cooking utensils for group meals.
The intelligent robot will accompany the team throughout the process, collecting garbage, monitoring risks, and extinguishing any signs of fire immediately.
Of course, there's a charge. 50 QP per use.
"Cheers!" Charlemagne raised his Coke.
The cups made a crisp sound as steam rose from the induction cooker hot pot in the middle, and the water gurgled.
"The fried dough sticks need to be soaked until soft." Karna picked one up with serving chopsticks: "Here you go."
Mandicardo took a sip of the chilled orange juice and exclaimed contentedly, "It feels like being in a great place."
This is roughly what the daily life of a male high school student is like.

P.S.: Regarding the character who will appear in the next chapter, due to the current discussion environment where there are differences between "Typhon" and "Diphon", after consideration, this book will use Mooncell's translation "Diphon Ephemeros".
Chapter 19 Typhon Ephemeros
6:30 a.m., dormitory 514.
Mochizuki squeezed out the toothpaste and began washing her face.
The Möbius strip, cut in half, is particularly striking in the mirror.
To other people, Command Seals are nothing more than tattoos, so it's better to buy gloves and wear them.
After acquiring the skill "Charm of the Roots (E)," Mochizuki Oboro felt that she did indeed have some inexplicable and indescribable qualities in the mirror.
[Special Announcement from BB: After testing and adjustments, the Gal Romance System has been updated to version 2.0, optimizing a range of daily user experiences and adding some practical features.]
The extremely effeminate voice echoed in Mochizuki Oboro's mind, completely ruining her good mood that morning.
Mochizuki Oboro knew that this lousy AI wouldn't have remained silent for so long without a reason. It really had gotten itself into a big mess.
【update content】
[More Galgame-like: There's a chance that option hints will appear when talking to romanceable characters.]
[Growth Optimization: The Charm, Constitution, and Dexterity stats in the bonus panel can gain experience points through daily activities.]
[Added notes: including Command Seals usage, walkthrough progress chart, etc.]
[Please explore the details yourself, senior members.]
The first and second points are easy to understand, but Mochizuki Oboro wants to know or explain whether it is reliable or not.
"Let me explain what Command Seals can be used for," Mochizuki Oboro thought to herself.
[This command seal forces a romanceable target to perform a mandatory order. The effect is absolute; no one can resist, and even the laws of physics cannot prevent its execution.]
For example, making someone instantly appear beside a senior, regardless of their location or activity. To ordinary people, this would be called teleportation.
〣②I衤「三五柒ji『u#熘衫〒二? 箘【If the other party is near death or suffers from an incurable disease, the Command Spell can also restore them to a healthy state.】
Of course, you can also choose the adult-oriented approach that BB encourages, making the other person unconditionally obey orders. There are many more interesting uses; explore them as you like.
[A Command Seal can only have a maximum of three strokes and cannot be restored over time.]
[The above is an explanation of Command Seals. How to use them specifically is up to the senior.]
In summary, it's completely supernatural power.
Command Seals are an extremely precious resource and must be used with utmost care. This was Mochizuki Oboro's assessment.
Mochizuki Oboro stepped out of the restroom: "Tell me about the progress of the strategy guide again."
……
Finis Academy, High School Building.
Bright and spacious corridors, brand-new and high-quality tables and chairs, comprehensive supporting facilities, and impeccable hardware facilities.
The students who were in the first year of high school remained in the same class and continued into the second year; the only change was in the teaching staff.
A man with slicked-back hair strode confidently into the classroom of Grade 11 Class A and wrote his name on the podium:
“I am Kenneth El-Mello Archibald, your future homeroom teacher.”
Kenneth looked around and continued, "From now on, I will set higher academic standards for you all. Since you are my students, you must become even better."
A chorus of wails erupted from the audience.
"Don't worry, I'm not that heartless. The comparison you're making isn't with other people or other classes, but with yourselves."
Kenneth picked up the report card in his hand: "I know all your test scores from your freshman year and have set your level scores based on the average."
It seems she's got a formidable homeroom teacher. Mochizuki Oboro feels a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the comparison is only with my former self, so with a little effort, it shouldn't be too difficult to meet Mr. Kenneth's requirements.
"On the premise of ensuring academic progress, I encourage everyone to actively try out various hobbies and interests and explore their potential."
Kenneth joked, "If you want to celebrate your youth, make the most of this last year. Next year you'll be preparing for your senior year of high school."
Sunlight streamed through the glass window, casting the lingering glow of my nostalgic student days.
Looking at the energetic young men and women in the audience, Kenneth felt himself to have become much younger.
It's 8:40 now, the transfer student should be arriving soon.
"Our class will be welcoming a transfer student soon. Please don't be too curious and cause her any trouble."
Kenneth thought for a moment, then tapped the table seriously and instructed, "All forms of bullying are prohibited. This applies not only to transfer students, but also to all of you when you are interacting with each other."
……
Typhon Ephemerus, originally from Greece, was an unconventional young woman.
There is a younger sister named Ipsilon. The two of them transferred to Finis Academy together, but in the second year of high school and the first year of high school respectively.
If someone were to say that supernatural phenomena truly exist in this world, Typhon would be the first to raise both hands in agreement.
Although it's hard to believe, Typhon possesses an extremely special constitution:
Whenever Typhon experiences something firsthand, the course of events usually goes against his expectations, with very few exceptions.
Typhon had no particular expectations for her upcoming time at school—because things rarely go as she wished.
On the podium, the red-haired, golden-eyed girl gave the usual self-introduction for a transfer student: "Typhon Ephemeros. Nice to meet you."
Kenneth hummed in agreement and glanced at the empty seat next to someone: "Sit there for now. The school changes the seating every two months."
Tifeng nodded, walked to the only empty seat in the classroom, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
At Finis Academy, first- and second-year high school students are seated in pairs at desks. Only third-year students preparing for exams are seated separately and no longer paired with each other.
Why were the other students still looking this way? Typhon found it very strange.
Wait, if you look closely... they're looking at their deskmate.
"Hello," Typhon greeted.
"Hello, my name is Mochizuki Oboro," my deskmate replied casually, his eyes still fixed on Tsutsumi.
It's not a longing for the opposite sex, nor is it the obsession of a mentally ill person; it's simply the perspective of "evaluating an object."
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Wang Yuelong withdrew her gaze.
Whispers arose in the classroom as if in unison.
"She really is a beautiful girl. Even Mochizuki stared at her for three seconds."
"Is Typhon's record the longest? Others only manage two seconds at most, right?"
Wait, what are you guys talking about? Have I somehow ended up in a weird place?
Typhon fell into deep self-doubt.
I can understand each word individually, but I just can't understand them when they're put together as sentences.
Judging a beautiful girl by how long Mochizuki Oboro stares at her—isn't that a rather bizarre rule...?
The only thing Tifeng was certain of was that his deskmate was definitely not a normal person, at least not in some ways.
[A frank observation was made. Charm stat experience increased.]
Charisma: E (1/10)
BB's announcement rang in Mochizuki Oboro's mind.
So, this means you can gain experience points through daily activities? That seems pretty lenient.
Hopefully, this lousy AI will stay this friendly.
Mochizuki was indulging in unrealistic fantasies.
Suddenly, everything in front of them was put on pause, and the world was reduced to only black and white, with no one able to move.
Before me is a beautiful transfer student, and...
Four Galgame-style dialogue options.
[A: Introduce yourself.]
[B: Extend an invitation.]
C: I like you.
[D: Do it yourself.]
As we all know, in bishoujo dating sims, the story will not continue unless the protagonist makes a choice, and time in the game world will be paused.
The Gal dating system, which BB uses as an auxiliary AI, clearly also includes this feature.
In a normal game, as long as you choose the right options, you can enter the character's romance route. However, Mochizuki Oboro felt that if she relied on BB, she would never be able to successfully complete the romance route in her entire life.
I'll just do it myself.
Time flows again, and the world regains its color.
Mochizuki Oboro said, "How about I show you around the academy after school?"
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Typhon did not refuse.
Kenneth cleared his throat. "Alright, let's start class. Don't start daydreaming in the first period."
