Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

"I love watching women fight women... Ugh!"

An arrow of light pierced the ear of the rude little rabbit, and Artemis, hands on her hips, indicated that what he said was inappropriate:

"How could there be fighting and killing at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala! You are insulting my sister Chang'e's four thousand years of festival history!"

"I hereby declare the first segment of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala open! The average score given by the audience will be added together with the scores held by the guests and me!"

"First step! Moon worship!"

"Hmph, then offer me a dance that satisfies me, the one who represents the moon! Fight on, stage girl!"

"Waaaaah!" The two (?) spoke in unison from the special guest seats.

Even Fujimaru Ritsuka became serious; this was battle!

I need to give a proper score when facing this battle!

"The first contestant is Yukino Yukinoshita!"

Yukino looked at the chaotic scene and snorted in displeasure. Her magical spirit dress from Lilith began to dress, causing a sensation throughout the entire area.

"Wow, what a beautiful dress! I'm going to ask Chang'e's assistant to place an order when I get back!"

"Look, the Yueduoduo app has updated to include the same style!"

"Buy, buy, buy!"

Ignoring the commotion caused by the other bunnies, Yukino had fully reverted to her water dancer form. The deep sea water completely covered the center of the venue, forcing Yui and the others to retreat to the side.

She waved her long, knotted white sleeves with an air of pride: "Let me show you the level of a deep-sea dancer! Let me present a performance that corresponds to the theme."

In the crystal-clear "ocean" suspended in the venue, Yukino leaped in and swam like a mermaid.

"Oh my god! Yukino-chan is on the track! But that's not nearly enough! And this doesn't quite fit the Mid-Autumn Festival theme... What is this?!"

Artemis's slightly puzzled voice rang out, and she began to show surprise.

Yukino simply swam around in the water for a bit to warm up before beginning her performance.

A special magical projection allows even the little rabbit sitting in a remote spot to see Yukino's performance.

She began to move in the water with a not-so-swift, but incredibly gentle dance-like motion.

Her wide sleeves and flowing clothes made her look like a celestial maiden who had stepped out of a stone mural.

Graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon. Radiant as autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing as spring pines. Faintly like light clouds veiling the moon, drifting like swirling snow in a flowing wind. Viewed from afar, it shines like the rising sun amidst the morning glow; observed closely, it glows like a lotus emerging from clear water.

The gentleness of the water made Yukino's every movement seem like a celestial maiden floating in the sky, and every moment of her dance was full of the contradictory beauty of strength and gentleness.

The entire venue was completely silent as she finally rose from the water, spinning upwards, and then bowed to the Mid-Autumn Festival moon.

"Bravo!!!" A moment after the performance ended, Artemis grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Is this the celestial maiden praying for the moon, so full of Eastern beauty?! It truly opened my eyes. It's a pity Darling is dead. Fortunately, Darling is dead. What do you special guests think?"

"Without a doubt, Yukino perfectly replicated the unique beauty of a certain Chinese underwater dance performance called 'Prayer,' filling people with fantasies about the celestial maiden's figure. I give it 100 points!"

"This is a 10-point scale, don't give your girl too many points!" Holy Grail Sauce grabbed the microphone without hesitation and started nitpicking, "But, our segment is about worshipping the moon, but Yukino used a style that's more like the Dunhuang Celestial Maiden, which annoys me - those bald monks who shout 'Don't kill' are the worst! Killing is the only way!"

Holy Grail Sauce slammed the cleaver on the table angrily: "In conclusion, I can only give it a 6 out of 10!"

"Ah, you're really strict... But since Yukino also has the divinity of the moon goddess, she's practically my child, so I'll give her a 10!" Artemis exclaimed. "So, let's see what the audience thinks?"

"Oh dear, we've tasted enough already."

"That's right, and it's said that the celestial maidens of Buddhism come to challenge our Lady Chang'e from time to time."

"But think about it, wouldn't this mean that the Heavenly Maiden is submitting to our Lady Chang'e?"

"Makes sense."

Amidst the discussions, the little rabbit cast its score, and a score of 7 appeared on the screen.

Yukino snorted, letting the water evaporate in the arena, looking sullen—"What the hell? What does it have to do with me if the Buddhist goddesses provoke you... Oh, Saraswati is one of the prototypes of the goddesses? Never mind then."

What a miscalculation.

However, Yukino remained confident. Even if these guys were biased, they wouldn't take sides. Besides, she was probably the only one here who could dance well—that was a dancer's pride!

"Second contestant, Yui, take your position!"

Yui Yuigahama had already donned Suzuka Gozen's celestial maiden robes, eliciting a commotion on stage: "Boring, another celestial maiden... Huh?"

The bells rang rhythmically, and every movement of Yui's was full of bewitching charm. With the shadow cast by the full moon as her dance partner, she dominated the eyes of everyone on the stage with her alluring and sensual dance.

"Wow! This girl is amazing! I can do it too! My phantom limbs are even moving!"

"Wake up, we're all female bunnies! But it's really cute!"

Yui's charm and alluring dance moves made all the little bunnies gasp in delight.

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was casually crossing her legs, Holy Grail Sauce said with a hint of mockery, "Fujimaru-san, it seems like you're living a life that's both comfortable and painful."

"Stop talking... What do you, a humanoid Holy Grail, know about Gil?!"

“I understand Jill so well! He was once very close to me!”

"That's enough, you little master of dirty jokes!"

After the dance ended, the Heavenly Demoness concluded her performance by raising a cup to the moon, drawing cheers from the audience.

The score eagerly popped up on the screen: 10!

Sure enough, even the female rabbits are all perverts, since it's said that the March Hare's madness comes from the legend of its frenzied mating.

Fujimaru Ritsuka covered her face and gave it a score of 10.

Even Holy Grail Sauce gave it a 7 out of 10, showing some respect: "Not bad, it awakens human desires, that's exactly what we want to see! Just the technique is a bit lacking~~"

"How utterly unclean! I can't stand it!"

Despite saying that, Artemis, true to her word, spread her fingers apart from her eyes and protested with a pout: "I'm a chaste virgin goddess, how can you show me this... I'll pass! 6 points!"

In an instant, Yui's score jumped to 33 points, tying with Yukino's score.

Yukino was furious. If it weren't for the fact that the venue seemed to be under some kind of restriction, she would definitely have used Complete Fluid and Melt Envy: EX to teach these perverted female bunnies a lesson.

Is this some kind of live dance performance from Bilibili's otaku dance section?!

"Eh... professional dance still can't compete with the perverts! Well then, please welcome the next one, little cutie Abigail!"

Abigail stood in the center of the stadium, looking bewildered and hesitant.

Although she felt she was going to be at the bottom, just like Shiyu, if she lost this match, it would be too difficult to catch up later.

Hmph... I can't give up so easily.

Looking at the little cutie on the field, the rabbit audience felt sorry for her—she clearly had neither dance skills nor the boost from a heroic spirit... Let's give her a consolation score later.

As they were thinking this, Abigail moved.

It's less of a dance and more of a shamanic performance!

From the very beginning of ancient times, dance was originally created to worship ancestors, pay homage to deities, and pray to nature.

Therefore, at this moment, Abigail began to display the original dance.

"I'a, I'a! Dark moon, full moon and stars, I pray to you, asking for your blessings!"

A bizarre, frenzied dance, unearthed from the dusty archives of an alien library by a witch serving an outer god, is now being performed again.

All the bunnies in the venue couldn't help but look at her, their eyes glued to her every move.

The Holy Grail Sauce trembled: "Oh no, the wicked woman is coming!"

"What bad woman?"

"Hehehe~ Moon Beast (referring to Rabbit), the priestess serving the outer gods, the daughter I am connected with through fate in public, the moon goddess who is in a sense my daughter's mother, and the one-sided prayer! I have seen all of these!"

The intense music started playing, completely drowning out the accompanying musical arrangements inside the venue.

"BB Channel! Hajimaru!"

"You damn AI, die!"

“┭┮﹏┭┮, my dear daughter, why do you treat your old mother like this?”

The Mid-Autumn Festival gala ended in chaos, ultimately devolving into a full-blown brawl. How delightful!

I. Daily Life on the Verge of Collapse (Major Overhaul - 3k)

What's it like to have all your efforts of the past seventeen years go to waste? Fujimaru Ritsuka says, "It feels amazing."

Standing in front of the mirror, he hummed a little tune, straightening his uniform. The Fujimaru Ritsuka in the mirror had neat, energetic black hair, deep blue eyes, and a healthy physique. Very good, very spirited.

Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up her schoolbag and happily walked out of the house.

In the past, he had no choice. He thought he was destined to be a big shot. Even if he couldn't find lunar hotspots like Fuyuki or Kanbuko on the map, he didn't dare to slack off, for fear that he might have transmigrated into a bizarre worldline that Mushroom hadn't written.

From a young age, she started exercising, learning martial arts, memorizing myths and history, and mastering hundreds of escape methods. Fujimaru Ritsuka is almost as hardcore as someone who has watched all 1000 episodes of Detective Conan from beginning to end.

As a result, around 2015, he frequently went to the city center where he lived to donate blood, earning him the reputation of being a "weirdo," but nothing happened. Now, in 2017, he has grown up peacefully to the age of 17, and no one has come forward to try and destroy his humanity.

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only laugh at herself for having been outsmarting thin air: "But it doesn't matter, nothing in the past will be in vain. As long as we don't stop, the road will continue to extend ahead."

Having learned so many skills and maintained good grades, I can join a few clubs to get high scores, get into a good university, and life will be smooth sailing.

Fujimaru Ritsuka rallied her spirits and headed towards her destination; Chiba Prefectural Municipal Soubu High School was just ahead.

-------------------------------------

"Looking at it this way, Shizuka is actually quite pretty. Sigh, I guess I can't find a boyfriend because those guys are blind." Fujimaru Ritsuka silently followed Hiratsuka Shizuka into the classroom, inwardly cursing those men who didn't know their worth.

He leisurely pondered questions he had never considered before, feeling quite at ease. When he learned that he had come to Chiba with his family members who had been transferred to work, and the name of the school he was attending, he felt completely relieved.

Soubu High? I know it all too well, isn't it the center of that youth romance story? Can a story about the daily struggles of teenagers compare to FGO, which threatens to destroy the world at the drop of a hat? Don't be too lighthearted. Anyway, a delightful, pink-filled life is about to begin.

With this mindset, he stood comfortably on the podium: "...I am Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I hope to get along well with everyone in the future and have a wonderful high school life."

His gentle and kind smile shone brightly in the sunlight streaming into the classroom, causing the girls below to whisper and murmur amongst themselves.

"Looks great! Our class has gained another high-quality boy!"

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend yet."

"His eyes are blue, is he a foreigner?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka could only step in to maintain order: "Alright, alright, you can talk to your new classmates after class if you have any questions. Now we're about to start class. Fujimaru, you..." She glanced around and pointed to an empty seat by the window.
