Best girl desperately trying to get Akira out of the store before they meet with the dingus group and get into yet another fight. Nice chapter.
The ai's agreed on mutual non-interference, with the majority of the load landing in Alpha's lap on sheer merit of her being the only AI able to communicate with and aaa manipulate her apostle.The other AI is an offshoot of Alpha. One of the previous chapters has them talking to each other.
That's why Alpha was trying so hard to get Akira out of there, cause her other part knew Tatsuya was coming.
This is also likely why she instantly felt whatever thought-interference were going on (which we just found out about) immediately cease, the moment she put MC in her thoughts (causing apostle to realize she's a pawn belonging to alpha, and thus no-touch according to their agreement).
...Though some ppl allude to spoilers that rather make it sound like the indoctrination ability is innate to kazuya himself
It's here, it's here! It's finally in manga form.
Where it all starts to crack.
To a lesser extent subconsciously. That's why there's many simping for him, though you can say the usual two that tag along have the strongest feelings for him. There is an explanation why, but that's a major spoiler I won't get into.
Though do keep in mind that a past incident was handled differently from the source novel, so things might go a different way.
Thanks for the chapter.
