As the sound of swallowing saliva fell, Anna couldn't help but get up and reach for Kisaragi Rin's neck.
First came her moist lips, then Anna's slightly piercing teeth; her movements were gentle, more like a passionate kiss than a bloodsucking.
Kisaragi Rin held Anna's waist, letting her greedily suck his blood.
This guy likes to sneak around in the dark, so her sudden overt intimacy is probably due to the strange talent she just acquired, the Apocalypse Watcher.
But can Anna be considered an evil person?
Kisaragi Rin thought with a touch of strangeness.
He was pondering what the Apocalypse Watcher's criteria for "evil people" were.
Does it only count if one is purely evil, or does even a slight component of malevolence in one's character count?
Anna is ruthless in battle; as long as it's a command from her Master, she can mercilessly slaughter even ordinary people with her blade, yet she's quite kind when there are no conflicts of interest.
With such a personality, Anna's evil component is akin to the evil cadres in "I Want to Be a Magical Girl" who each have their own good side.
From this perspective, the Apocalypse Watcher's criteria for evil people are definitely not limited to purely evil individuals.
Thinking of Hydra Captain next to Yuusuke in the Fate World, Kisaragi Rin realized that this talent's definition of evil is quite broad.
"Seriously, I'm already S-rank, but the Paradise can't give me a clear introduction."
After his usual complaints about the Paradise, Kisaragi Rin patted Anna's belly, signaling that feeding time was over; this guy just wouldn't stop sucking.
After greedily sucking the last drop of blood and using the silver threads from her lips to heal the bite marks, Anna finally opened her alluring eyes, gazing at the Master beneath her and her arm draped over his body. Anna nonchalantly straightened her short-sleeved shirt and said, "You suddenly gave me a special feeling just now."
"What feeling?" Kisaragi Rin asked.
He noticed that the gazes of those few strange tales were also subtly fixed on him.
"I'm not sure."
Anna lowered her feet, landing from Kisaragi Rin's body, and savoring the feeling she had just experienced, she said, "If I had to describe it, it's a bit like an unforthcoming heroine in a romance manga whose relationship with the male lead is at a stalemate, and then, with the female rival's intervention, she begins to understand her feelings for the male lead."
"What kind of strange analogy is that?"
Kisaragi Rin tapped Anna's head, but then Hanako suddenly raised her hand.
"I feel like you've become special."
Hanako said, and then everyone's gaze converged on her.
"Special?"
Kisaragi Rin glanced at Hanako.
"I don't know how to describe it either," Hanako said, awkwardly digging her toes into the ground.
Seeing Hanako's wavering gaze, unwilling to meet his eyes, Kisaragi Rin deduced that she definitely knew something, but the specific reason made her afraid to explain.
And the biggest difference between Hanako and the others was simply that her favorability had never broken 90.
Compared to the other strange tales who openly showed their affection for Kisaragi Rin, Hanako was more like a lazy worker who enjoyed abstract things, with no strong feelings for Kisaragi Rin; at most, she would use fantasies to gather some casting materials for herself when she was lonely at night.
Thinking of this, Kisaragi Rin already understood what this guy meant by "Special."
Anna, Busujima Saeko, Kanroji Mitsuri, Shizuka Marikawa, Medea, Lily, and Esdeath and Spider Mother… For them, Kisaragi Rin was the most special existence in their lives.
The full favorability on the extraterrestrial girl helper handbook already explained everything.
And for Hanako, the previous Kisaragi Rin was no different from Busujima Saeko and the others.
At most, one managed the overall situation, while the other handled the small details of daily life.
But just now, when Kisaragi Rin obtained the Apocalypse Watcher, Hanako found that Kisaragi Rin had become special.
It was like Anna's analogy of "the heroine who only realizes she likes the male lead because of the female rival's intervention."
"So the effect of the Apocalypse Watcher is simply to increase charm and accelerate favorability gain?" Kisaragi Rin speculated in his mind, then took out the extraterrestrial girl helper handbook and turned to Hanako's page.
Hanako: 87
Kisaragi Rin: "…"
Well, the effect of the Apocalypse Watcher talent is definitely not just for gaining favorability.
Because Hanako's favorability didn't increase!
It even dropped a little compared to two days ago.
Please, you said I became special, but my favorability didn't increase, it decreased instead?
Noticing Kisaragi Rin's gaze, Hanako knelt on the ground, feigning sorrow.
It was like an employee who liked to slack off discovering that the boss had installed a monitor in front of their workstation; she furiously roared in her heart, "Why can that book see favorability? My loyalty to my Master is evident to the sun and moon; how can it be represented by favorability…"
"Get up, you idiot."
Kisaragi Rin sighed helplessly, closing the extraterrestrial girl helper handbook.
Favorability was just data, not something he should care too much about.
"Heh, thank you, Master."

Six talents, nine max-level Skills—this was the current blank slate Kisaragi Rin.
Well… Kisaragi Rin without stacked equipment attributes was, of course, considered a blank slate Kisaragi Rin.
"So, why hasn't my first awakened talent, Stand, completed its awakening yet?"
Kisaragi Rin fell into doubt.
Two days had passed since that Arrow merged into his body, but the question mark after Stand on the player panel had not changed.
