Chapter 160: Tight Schedule

"Senior, why are you suddenly talking to me about the past?"

"Tell me, I was rejected countless times by you back then. Why did I keep talking to you and trying to win your heart until I succeeded? Wouldn't a normal person be angry with you after being dumped so many times?"

"Yeah, I don't like to pester a girl, and I won't give up my dignity to stick with someone who doesn't care. But at that time, I still wanted to help you without hesitation."

"Do you want to know the real answer?"

"Then move your ear closer, Aku Hinako-senpai..."

……

The calendar moved forward two more spaces.

[Two days later, the deadline Holmes had given was getting closer and closer.]

However, your strategy is limited in its effectiveness, as Yu Ji will self-destruct if you approach her, and the three married women in Love Sleep 2 will harass and curse you day and night. Once you show up online in the game, you'll be ambushed from all sides.

Time is running out, and you haven't seen even a shred of success.

You fell into deep despair.

If there's been any recent change, it's that the number of players playing the mobile game "Love Singularity" has increased significantly.

[…However, the number of missing heroic spirits is increasing, especially couples.]

[And so, the time came to May 5th.]

【There are only 5 days left until the deadline to rescue Yu Ji.】

In the morning, Britain class.

Yinggu lay on the desk with a tired look on his face, still holding the game console in his hand.

"I regret it so much. I shouldn't have agreed to Holmes from the beginning. If I hadn't agreed to him, I wouldn't have thought about wooing Yu Ji. If I hadn't thought about wooing Yu Ji, then I wouldn't have played Love Sleeping 2. If I..."

The two Knights of the Round Table behind him looked at the strong aura of resentment coming from him and couldn't help but worry about his condition.

"Lord Ingu, what's going on with him recently?" Gawain quietly asked Tristan beside him.

"He's been playing Love Sleep 2 lately..."

Tristan's expression was hard to describe.

"I don't know why, but this game seems to be particularly strict with Lord Ingu. The female characters he captured were not only the most troublesome in Chaldea Academy, but also the most troublesome. Furthermore, if he tried to cheat, such as paying for a new save file, formatting the game, or even hacking the console, the game would counter his cheats. Even if he changed the console, the saved files would still be inherited."

"Your Highness, are you saying that this game seems to have self-awareness and is deliberately targeting us, Yinggu?"

"Logically, it shouldn't be like this, but this is the most reasonable reason at the moment."

Yinggu didn't hear the whispers of the two people behind him. He was concentrating on playing the game.

He was seen using his phone to check Concubine Yu's favorability with one hand, while with the other hand he was pressing the joystick of the game console to avoid being chased by three wives. He was so skilled at multitasking that it was heartbreaking.

Through the screen of his mobile phone, he could see Miss Yu Ji, who was wearing glasses, absentmindedly flipping through a book in the game's standby interface.

"I say, Mochizuki Yinggu, it's about time you gave up,"

Yu Ji said to him in front of the screen,

"I have no interest in men other than Lord Xiang Yu. If any man approaches me, I will explode on the spot. I've exploded in front of you time and time again. It's a shame you're still talking to me after all this."

Ying Gu just smiled nonchalantly:

"Haha, what a shame! I'm far from giving up! Aren't you tired now? It's time to act like a normal girl and act like a spoiled child. Remember to add 'meow' at the end of every sentence."

From the game console on the other side came Clinshid's voice: "One day, I will kill you for revenge, meow~"

"Mrs. Fei, I'm not talking to you!" Ying Gu shouted.

Maeve also said: "Come and do it with me again~ Meow~"

"It's not you either!"

Could you please stop joining in the fun, you bunch of pixel wives!

Looking at Yinggu, who was busy and exhausted but refused to give in, on the other side of the screen, Yu Ji couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, that's why humans are so troublesome... Don't you feel bad about being rejected by me time and time again?"

"Senior Yu Ji,"

He blinked his smiling eyes and said to the girl with glasses on the phone,

"Could it be that you're feeling sorry for me and feeling guilty for your ruthless rejection? You're so gentle."

"No!"

Yu Ji turned her head away angrily, revealing her cute fangs, as if she was about to explode.

Seeing that she was about to self-destruct again, he suddenly panicked.

"Don't blow yourself up yet, bastard! I'm just doing what I think is right. I don't want to abandon you alone in the terrible singularity. Because if it were me, I would also hope that someone would lend a helping hand like this, even if I would be ruthlessly rejected countless times-"

I saw that the other person's cute face had turned red, as if it was a bomb that had entered the countdown.

boom!

She actually exploded on the spot!

"Old—mustard—"

Yinggu cried out in grief and anger,

"Why are you exploding again? It's another mosaic!"

Looking at the red mosaic on his phone, he couldn't help but feel that the road ahead was long and difficult.

On the other side, in the game console, his game character failed to dodge Maeve's Noble Phantasm.

She dragged his game character into her car again, and then countless pink hearts appeared in the car.

"This mosaic is also disgusting..."

Seeing the complete defeat on these two fronts, he felt exhausted and lay down on the table helplessly.

The deadline was getting closer, but he had no way to deal with these girls.

"only……"

Ying Gu glanced at the game interface on his phone.

"Even though Yu Ji still says she hates me and is always blowing herself up, I've finally managed to get her favorability up. It's finally not negative anymore...

“But I’ve been grinding for so long, and my favorability has only gone from “as if I saw a maggot” to “I wouldn’t say hello even if we met”!

"Given this rate of increase, there's simply not enough time. Five days is definitely not enough time."

Just as he was complaining, a message from Holmes suddenly came to his cell phone.

"Mr. Mochizuki, please come to the principal's office."

"We already knew you brought your phone into the classroom. Don't worry, we'll punish you."

"Finally, you guys can't wait any longer..."

Yinggu quickly put away his phone and walked quickly to the principal's office.

……

The principal's office is still the same as before. It is more like Leonardo da Vinci's magic workshop than an office.

Principal Da Vinci enthusiastically invited him to sit on the sofa. Through the pile of complex and profound manuscripts on the coffee table, he could barely see the famous detective sitting opposite him, wearing a coat and smoking a pipe.

"There are less than five days left until our agreed deadline. Mr. Mochizuki, how are things going over there?"

asked Holmes.

"It's not going well..."

“What’s the definition of ‘not going well’?”

"Currently, Yu Ji's favorability towards me is 3%. Full favorability is 100%. There's no way I can get it full within three days. What should I do, Holmes?"

Chapter 161: Holy Grail War of Love

“There’s still 3%?”

Holmes sounded shocked.

"Mr. Mochizuki, you are much more capable than I thought. Just by raising her favorability to a positive number, you have already surpassed most people in Chaldea Academy."

"Thank you for the compliment, but it's a shame that 3% of your favorability is useless. If I can't rescue her, what good is that little bit of favor?"

Ying Gu shrugged unhappily.

"Holmes, Principal Da Vinci, since you are so smart, can you help me think of a solution?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mochizuki. I may know a little about psychology, but I'm not good at dating. I'm afraid the same thing goes for that self-proclaimed genius, Ms. Da Vinci, next to you."

"...Then it's completely over. Let's divide the luggage."

He slid smoothly from the sofa to the floor.

"Don't give up so easily. I'm a jack of all trades. I'll always be able to think of a solution or two."

Da Vinci smiled and helped him up from the floor. Her expression didn't seem so desperate and pessimistic.

"Is there any other solution?" he asked.

"There's only one left."

Da Vinci turned on the projector next to him, and a live wallpaper of a love mobile game was projected on the wall opposite them.

This is……

This is a new event preview for the mobile game "Love Singularity".

"How much do you remember about the settings of this mobile game?" Da Vinci asked patiently.

"... Kiara Sesshōin used the stolen Holy Grail to create a Love Prison singularity, and you exploited the properties of this singularity to create this Love Game, using it to rescue the trapped Heroic Spirits.

"This love mobile game, the Love Prison singularity connecting our Chaldea Academy and Sesshoin, is a conceptual weapon used to counterattack Sesshoin."

Yinggu tried hard to recall and gave this answer.

Principal Da Vinci displayed a lively demeanor that didn't match his appearance and snapped his fingers. "You're absolutely right. Do you know how we can use mobile games to save the Heroic Spirits?"

"You didn't say that."

"Then I will answer you," began Holmes.

[Holmes quickly explained to you the principle of saving heroic spirits.]

[The Love Prison singularity has its own set of core rules, which are related to love.]

The mobile game created by Principal Da Vinci has become widely popular within Chaldea School, with many Heroic Spirit students becoming addicted. Without risking their lives, they have unknowingly fulfilled the core requirement of this Love Prison singularity—the desire for companionship and love.

[On the premise of satisfying the Love Prison singularity, Chaldea Academy was allowed to intervene in the singularity and formulate the rules, thus holding a grand Holy Grail War with love as the theme!]

As ridiculous as it sounds, this is how we in Chaldea have always resolved this kind of singularity.

“That’s why we’ve put so much effort into preparing this game’s activities…

"If you want to rescue Yu Ji and liberate this singularity, you must participate in this competition!"

Holmes showed the event trailer projected on the wall.

"Holy Grail War of Love: My Beloved Wife Is the Best in the World"!

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the title of the event on the poster, Yinggu felt a little confused.

Holmes' tone was full of reason:
