Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"Senior, get out of the way!"

Looking at her Master standing in front of her, Mash became anxious.

Samael seemed not to hear, turning a deaf ear. Faced with what outsiders perceived as a critical juncture, he was still agonizing over and pondering a certain question.

There was something he couldn't understand...

What prompted these advanced AIs to rebel?

His slightly focused eyes looked at the leg blade that had risen a few inches into the air, narrowly avoiding his vitals; and at the face that was drawing ever closer, a face etched with curiosity and pleasure.

The rumors on the last page of Sesshouin Kiara's diary flashed into his mind.

Suddenly, Samael slowly released his right hand, which he had been secretly clenching, and faced the charging girl directly.

"boom!"

The blade, which was originally meant to slice, drew an arc in mid-air and struck Samael horizontally in the abdomen, sending a powerful surge of energy flying him against the wall.

Samael groaned, fell straight down, his head lolling to the side, and lost consciousness.

"senior!"

Seeing her Master, whom she wanted to protect, fall before her eyes, Mash's eyes widened in fury, and a swirling vortex of magical energy rose from her body like a storm rising from the ground.

At the same time, a majestic, white-painted fortress appeared behind the girl and gradually solidified.

The elven script inscribed on the fortress and the floating silhouettes of knights exuded an unshakeable solidity and an incomparably fierce fighting spirit.

Unexpectedly, Lilith, who was still charging forward, smiled mysteriously and suddenly came to an abrupt halt in front of the majestic chalk city.

Then, at an almost 30-degree angle to the ground, she gracefully turned around, swiftly skimming along the wall across the corridor, and in full view of everyone, casually picked up the unconscious Samael by the wall and plunged into the maze-like passage around the corner ahead.

This……

For a moment, Hinako Akuta and Mashu, who witnessed this scene, were stunned and looked at each other blankly.

"She...she...she stole my senior! Shameless, wicked woman!"

Mashu realized something was wrong and was the first to react. Her face turned red with anger, and she uttered what she considered to be the most vicious words.

"It seems that the woman doesn't intend to hurt him. Don't rush, let's recover our strength first, and then we'll chase after her together."

After regaining her senses, Hinako Akuta shook her somewhat confused head and went to comfort Mash, temporarily calming her agitated emotions and allowing her to take a short rest.

There is a special connection between Master and Servant.

As long as this bond exists, they will definitely be able to find their predecessor.

The pink-haired girl picked up the cross-shaped shield, adjusted her breathing, and her gaze became increasingly determined.

Meanwhile, Hinako Akuta stared blankly at the end of the corner, a strange glint in her eyes.

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

With the wind whistling past her ears, Lilith, who was navigating through the red and black data maze, finally managed to shake off her pursuers after a series of twists and turns.

She finally relaxed, let out a soft sigh, and threw the spoils she had been carrying on her shoulder to the ground.

"Tch, I really don't understand why BB insisted that I bring this person back..."

Dissolving Lilith grumbled indignantly, raising her leg as if to kick the person opposite her to vent her anger.

However, the moment her gaze fell upon that sleeping face, the nameless anger and sadistic desire in the girl's heart vanished without a trace, and even her raised right leg gently fell down.

However, still feeling aggrieved, Lilith thought for a moment, then couldn't help but raise her foot and kick the unconscious magician sideways before a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

But the force was as light as a feather brushing against something.

"It doesn't seem like anything special..."

Lilith muttered to herself as she crouched down, carefully examining the spoils before her. She couldn't help but reach out her slender white finger and poke it on the face.

A warm and soft touch spreads from your fingertips to your entire body.

"Woo!"

A strange murmur escaped from Lilith's throat. The purple-haired girl's eyes lit up, and her right hand once again approached that face, her sliding fingertips repeatedly tracing the soft and delicate contours of that face.

Gradually, she became dissatisfied with just the touch of her fingertips. She cupped his cheeks in her hands and kneaded them, greedily and obsessively seeking out their warmth.

Although they are goddess-type heroic spirits who have integrated multiple spirit origin data and have superior combat performance.

However, as the price for driving this power, each companion has more or less flaws.

Dissolving Lilith herself was no exception.

Her defect is a "neurological disorder." That is, her tactile ability is low, especially the sensation in her fingers, which has been almost completely lost. Therefore, she is more eager to actively connect with the outside world, to perceive temperature and heat, and to prove her existence.

Destructive tendencies, sadistic desires, and even combat fanaticism all stem from this.

Because one cannot perceive the existence of others on one's own; one needs a more intense way to touch everything around one that has a tangible presence.

However, to Lilith's surprise, contact with the man in front of her restored her lost senses, and a long-lost flutter returned to her cold and desolate heart.

The warm, soft touch on my fingertips was so wonderful, so delightful.

Every close encounter brought her indescribable and wonderful sensory stimulation, making her unable to resist.

The girl's bright blue eyes sparkled, and she gradually became dissatisfied with the caresses on her cheeks. She began to explore downwards, arranging the spoils on the ground into various shapes.

The unconscious Master No. 48 was like a lifeless puppet.

—Yes. That's right. The doll is fantastic!

Lilith was overjoyed, her pretty face flushed with intoxication and satisfaction.

They only love; they will not complain, they will not be dissatisfied, and they will not change.

Human consumer culture is foolish, but she maintains an attitude of gratitude and appreciation for the creation of doll culture at this moment.

Its origin is the Venus statue, she thought, starting from Greece. Then, transcending national boundaries, beyond the sea, beyond time... when it reached the hands of modern craftsmen, it rivaled the Big Bang at the birth of the universe—no, a theoretical model was created.

That's right, now she loves dolls the most. She absolutely adores them. From life-size to miniature, she gives them all the same high praise!

However, what I like best are still scale models. That feeling of dominance, of ownership, like you can lick them from every angle, is the best. Anyone who doesn't understand this kind of taste needs a thorough re-education!

With her increasingly excited and surging emotions churning in her burning chest, Lilith, whose new interests had been discovered, began to further explore the doll in front of her.

His facial features possess both the sculpted features of Europeans and Americans, as well as the delicate features of the East; his chest and abdomen are muscular, yet not jarring; his figure is slender and perfectly conforms to the golden ratio…

Gradually, the witch, who had touched almost every part of the victim's body, shifted her gaze to the last unexplored area, licked her cherry lips, and reached out her demonic hand.

Those originally azure eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of pink mist.

"Cough cough..."

Just as Lilith was about to be dissolved, the unconscious Master No. 48 coughed violently, and his tightly closed upper and lower eyelids showed signs of loosening.

Instantly, Lilith froze, then darted away with lightning speed, turning her back quickly like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

At this moment, Samael, who had just woken up, felt as if he had just had a nightmare. He searched his entire body with his hands and, after confirming that no parts were missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Lilith turned around, hands behind her back, looking completely nonchalant.

"Cough, you're awake?"

Nonsense, if that didn't work, you'd strip me naked!

Samael's eyes swept over Lilith's shifty gaze, inwardly cursing, but outwardly remaining calm, he played the role of a captive, adopting a guarded posture and cautiously questioning her.

"What do you want to do? Kill me like you did with the previous Chaldea employees?"

"kill?"

Dissolve Lilith paused for a moment, then revealed a playful smile, gently raising her index finger and waving it in front of her.

"You seem to have misunderstood. Humans are a very precious resource."

Samael looked at the maze-like world constructed from data modules, his expression shifting thoughtfully.

"So, you digitized them?"

"Bingo!"

Upon hearing the speculation from the other side, Lilith snapped her fingers, her eyes wide with amazement.

That's quite a clever guy to think of that.

After confirming his suspicions, the ancient serpent secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's not the worst outcome.

He then calmed down a bit and continued to play the victim, trying to get more information out of her.

"Where are they?"

"You should ask BB about that. She is the creator of this world, while we, strictly speaking, are merely her creations and the guardians who maintain the operation of the entire Cherry Blossom Labyrinth."

For some reason, in front of this man, Lilith seemed to forget to hide anything and told him everything she knew. She even unconsciously showed a hint of smugness on her pretty face, as if to say, "Praise me!"

Looking at the girl who wagged her tail like a puppy in front of her owner without realizing it, Samael's lips twitched slightly, and another guess in his heart was indirectly confirmed.

That madwoman Sesshouin actually gave them that...

Chapter Twenty-Nine: BB's Punishment Time

"Love is the most contagious virus..."

Samael murmured the last page's conclusion in Sesshouin Kiara's diary, his feelings a complex mix.

Advanced AI is artificial intelligence composed of programs [Mooncell].

They were originally intended to be things that "operate as programs" but "cannot exist as independent individuals." In other words, they are things that "exist" before our eyes but "do not exist." They are merely mechanical structures designed to smoothly advance human life.

The same principle applies to the Mooncell program in Chaldea, which consists of hypothetical life forms created to address a special human crisis and discarded upon its end.

In the plan, the hypothetical life forms in the Mooncell system are divided into the following types: NPCs who can only handle a single purpose; AIs that have been given the ability to make their own judgments; and advanced AIs that have been entrusted with the ability to make their own judgments and manage territories.

Advanced AI is something created to effectively perform Mooncell's primary purpose: "human observation." Although it completely replicates humanity, even incorporating the soul, it merely "possesses" a soul; its essence remains colorless.

Every so often, the imaginary lifeforms have their memory reset after each phase of operation. NPCs and AIs are reset to zero, while advanced AIs retain their personalities but have their records reset—as if nothing ever happened.

Therefore, they should not have too many emotions or likes and dislikes, but rather maintain a fair and neutral attitude to manage the affairs of the entire Chaldea.

But now it seems everything has changed.

These advanced AIs, known as "Guardians," developed strong emotions for some reason, even breaking through the limitations of humans and programs. Based on their own likes and dislikes, they took action to digitize and contain all the personnel of Chaldea.

The truth behind this "pathological change" has already been revealed in Sesshouin's diary.

A virus called "love"...

Feeling the two gazes fixed on him, filled with growing interest and fervor, Samael's mind conjured up an image of a lewd nun masturbating while holding a photo in her notebook, and in the lingering afterglow of her whim, uploading some kind of special program to Mooncell. He couldn't help but grind his teeth.

You always manage to come up with something new and interesting.

Just as Gu She was mentally cursing a woman whose brain was full of lewd nonsense, a crisp and cheerful opening speech came from the loudspeaker above his head.

"BB Channel!"

Upon hearing this, Lilith, who was in the maze corridor, immediately changed her expression and, without thinking, kicked Samael to a secluded corner.

Immediately after a period of static, the screen in front of the corner displayed a devilish-looking junior schoolgirl with long, straight purple hair, a large bow in her hair, wearing a black school uniform, a white shirt, and black tights. She stood with her hands on her hips, exuding energy, and proudly announced her arrival.

"Greedy like a young girl, cold-blooded like an angel—that's me, the host, the most popular BB-chan!"

Immediately, the purple-haired girl on the screen put on a pair of dignified glasses, dressed as a teacher, carefully examined the maze passage, clapped a pointer she had somehow obtained, and asked Lilith, who was on the other side of the screen, in a deep voice.

"Then, Meltryllis, where is what I want?"

Lilith's eyes involuntarily glanced at a hidden corner behind her, then she shook her head without changing her expression.

"did not find!"

"Pity……"

The little devilish purple-haired girl named "BB" shook her head in disappointment, then changed the subject, her delicate face tense.

“Wrong answer! Lying is bad behavior, Meltryllis. If you obediently hand over my possessions, I might consider being lenient with you.”

"If you didn't find it, you didn't find it! Even if you're our creator, don't act all high and mighty and order me around, BB!"

Lilith crossed her arms and sneered, completely ignoring the "mother's" earnest advice.

Before even waiting for a response, Lilith impatiently kicked and smashed the display screen protruding from the maze passage, forcibly cutting off the communication.
