Knights of the Round Table who slack off while on paid leave, OUT.
Inside the VR simulation game room, looking at her group of excellent subordinates, Artoria felt a strange urge to laugh.
"Come to the meeting after get off work today," Artoria said calmly. "Now go back to your posts."
"Yes."x5
The Knights of the Round Table slunk out of the game room, leaving only Mochizuki Oboro standing there, looking somewhat bewildered.
The day before work, the supervisors were playing video games with me, but the boss caught them. Mochizuki Oboro felt like she was waiting online for an answer.
Although she hadn't officially started working yet, it was still somewhat awkward.
“I am Artoria Pendragon, the owner of this entertainment center,” Artoria introduced herself.
"Wangyue Long, a new employee who is about to start work."
"Oh. I see. I guess those guys were just using the 'welcome party' as an excuse to slack off."
Artoria smiled slightly: "Welcome to Camelot. The fact that you can get along with them proves you have some talent."
The Knights of the Round Table were indeed good people, but not everyone could fit in.
As the King of Knights, Artoria could naturally see that Lancelot and the others did not put on airs when they were with Mochizuki Oboro, but rather adopted the most relaxed and friendly attitude.
"Talent?" Mochizuki Oboro knew that the charm of the Root had taken effect again.
“That’s right, the talent to attract others. If you can prove I haven’t misjudged you, then you can become my attendant.” Artoria showed an interested expression.
[Characters available for romance]
【Altria Pendragon】
[Strategy Progress: 10%]
Is this the character route in "The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me"?
In Mochizuki Oboro's eyes, the Artoria in front of her was indeed completely different from her image in the drama; they were almost like two different people.
Without a cowlick, and with a pale hair color, she appears even more aloof.
Although we don't know about his mind and behavior, his face still meets Mochizuki Oboro's pursuit of physical beauty.
More accurately, it should be described as this kind of face.
“Although it may just be my imagination,” Mochizuki Oboro’s gaze was sharp and undisguised, “doesn’t your face look a lot like Castor or Mordred?”
"maybe."
More than her face shape, Artoria was concerned about something else: "Do you know my sister?"
……
Near the claw machine not far away.
Caster's face was ashen. She had already spent nearly ten game coins, but still hadn't caught the doll she wanted.
The shop window displays many Pokémon plush toys, but the Boar Princess's only goal is Pikachu at the top.
One last try. If I still can't catch it this time, I'll just go play something else.
The mechanical gripper began to move shakily, and Caster held his breath, operated the remote control, and snapped it shut.
The adorable Pikachu was grabbed by the head and thrown into the basket.
He had finally succeeded. Satisfied, Castor put the doll into his bag.
"good evening."
Mochizuki Oboro tossed the game coin in her hand, caught it, and put it into the claw machine.
"Hello, senior." Caster responded politely.
"Oh, I do know her." Artoria walked over with an ice pop in her mouth, looking like she had just been to the refrigerator in the staff area.
Castor's gaze shifted back and forth between Mochizuki Oboro and Artoria.
"Your senior's part-time job, could it be this place?"
"That's right. I would be very grateful if you could put in a good word for me with the boss in the future.
Mochizuki Oboro pressed the button on the claw machine.
It's a Psyduck plush toy.
"Haha~" Caster changed the subject: "Senior, do you want to come and play together? We can go back to the dorm together, since the male and female dorms are in the same complex."
"Do you reimburse me for game currency?" Mochizuki asked.
Artoria crossed her arms and said, "I'll pay for everything tonight."
Not only did he get along well with Lancelot and the others on their first meeting, but Castor had only been at the school for less than two days, and their relationship seemed to be quite good.
Is he the social butterfly type? Then we'll have to send him out more often to get orders.
Mochizuki Oboro was unaware of the cruel fate that awaited her.

P.S.: Draco's subsequent appearances will feature his third ascension form.
Here's an additional point, which I'm not sure if it's considered a little-known fact: Although Nero's character art makes him look tall, other Nero-related characters are only 150cm tall. Even if you add a few centimeters, he probably wouldn't be over 155cm. Besides, we don't even know if his height has been increased at all.
Chapter 27 Love is War
Women's dormitory building.
In dormitory room 234, Caster, who had just returned, stepped out of the bathroom and stretched comfortably.
It's only 10:30 now, not yet her usual bedtime.
The other three roommates were the same; they weren't going to bed so early and were chatting about all sorts of things.
Ipsilon began somewhat seriously, "I would like to ask you all something."
Fresh from his bath, Castor sat down at the table in loose pajamas and joined the women's late-night chat.
Kiyohime gently waved her fan: "Please speak."
Draco rested his chin on his hand: "Although I may not be able to be of much help."
“I have a guy I want to pursue,” Epsilon dropped a bombshell.
Whether in a male or female dormitory, if someone says they have someone of the opposite sex they want to pursue, it immediately attracts the attention of the entire dormitory.
The same applies to girls' dormitory 234.
Caster stammered, "Th-that, you mean...?"
“He’s a senior from the second year of high school,” Ipsilon said.
"How straightforward." Draco couldn't help but close his eyes.
Kiyohime seized on the key point: "You just arrived at school today, right? Love at first sight?"
“That’s one way to put it.” Ipsilon nodded. “I want to know how girls should pursue boys.”
Castor took out various food items he had brought back from Camelot: "We might be talking for a long time, let's have a midnight snack!"
Haha... Is this what Greek style is all about? Starting strong right from the start?
Draco thanked him and picked up a piece of Baumkuchen: "Although it's not appropriate for me, as an outsider, to say this, can you really tell what kind of person he is and what his character is like in such a short time? If he's a nasty guy, you'll get hurt."
"I can guarantee it," Ipsilon said confidently. "He's definitely my ideal type for the future."
Otherwise, why would she dream of taking wedding photos? She couldn't believe that her future self would develop a relationship with someone she didn't know or like to that extent.
“I understand. True love cannot be measured by time,” Kiyohime agreed.
"I've watched a lot of tutorials online, but none of them are particularly relevant."
Ipsilon said in a low voice, "Therefore, I would like to hear your opinions."
Four people with absolutely no experience in dating held a special operational meeting.
Operations executor and mission commissioner Epsilon opened the memo to draw on the strengths of many.
As the person present who possessed the most information about the target, Castor provided the following intelligence:
"My senior is a very warm-hearted person, but he has no restraint when it comes to spending money. Starting tomorrow, he will be working as a restaurant waiter at my sister's Camelot Club."
"Enthusiastic... How's his appearance? To make Epsilon fall in love at first sight, he must be a handsome guy, right? If so, he must have many suitors." Draco, the first relationship coach, asked.
Ipsilon immediately replied, "Of course, it's number one in the world!"
"No, even I know your words are useless," said Kiyohime, the second relationship coach. "What do you think, Caster?"
"He's above average, considered handsome, but not quite at the top level. But he has a very special charm, a unique appeal," Castor answered honestly.
“I’m doing this with marriage in mind,” Epsilon added.
Draco couldn't help but show an expression of awe.
What powerful and decisive courage!
"All living things are driven by desires, and humans are no exception. It's just that people's desires are different, and I think what we need to do is cater to their desires."
Kiyohime continued, "I don't think any healthy man can resist the temptation of a beautiful girl who understands his preferences and is willing to be with him."
“That’s true.” Castor munched on his duck leg. “As long as we figure out what our senior likes, we’re halfway to success.”
At 12:30, the heroines of dormitory 234 devised a "perfect" strategy for Epsilon.
Love is war.
In order to achieve victory in the war, Epsilon did not mind using some underhanded methods.
On the other side, in girls' dormitory number 456.
It was late at night, and all of his roommates were asleep, but Ti Fong hadn't put down his phone yet.
At first, Ti Fong considered asking his roommates for advice, but then gave up on the idea, considering that they were not very familiar with each other.
Typhon only remembers his roommates' names: Lilith, Arcueid, and Kuonji Aratsu.
Arcueid and her sister Epsilon are somewhat similar in personality; both are cheerful and lively, but they are a bit naive and silly.
Lilith seems like a landmine, but surprisingly she's quite easy to get along with.
The most difficult person to start a conversation with was probably Kuonji Yuzu. She didn't say much and just kept looking at her book, completely isolated from the world.
Tifeng, wearing headphones, is studying late into the night.
Ten things you absolutely must know when dating your boyfriend!
"First, boys tend to value their image. You can discipline him however you like in private, but in public, you must provide him with ample emotional support and satisfy his vanity."
Oh, I see. I've learned something... my foot!
We haven't even talked about any things to keep in mind for couples yet...
Tifeng rolled over and turned to open the most-viewed emotional strategy video.
"This is the Gorgon Channel, and I'm your host, Gamo. Without further ado, let's begin the tutorial."
"It's cruel, but appearance is the most important thing. Everyone says an interesting soul is rarer than a beautiful face, but a common face is often more useful than a rare soul."
The host on the screen was also very cute, and the words she spoke had a strange persuasive power.
Tifeng subconsciously touched his face.
Putting aside her figure for now, her facial features must score quite high, right?
Many viewers might say that appearance can't be changed, but actually, with proper grooming, it's more than enough to take your appearance to the next level...
Eryin f Sanwuqi% Jiu VI~IIBI Er. Yue-Yi Difeng skipped the section on "how to improve appearance".
I'm cute enough, so I don't need to look. Yeah, that's it.
Second, how do you win someone's heart?
Before we begin, I must ask you some questions: What exactly do you like about that person? Is it their appearance or their personality? Are they irreplaceable? If someone with equally better qualities comes along, would you fall for them?
"Of course it's irreplaceable; you can't be wrong about precognitive dreams," Typhon thought.
The video's progress bar moves little by little.
