Chapter 283: The Magnificent Entrance of BB/GO
At seven in the morning, BB-chan arrived at Gudako's room humming a little tune. She intended to act as the gentle, considerate, and cute "superior junior" by waking up the little lazybones, Gudako-senpai.
"Good morning~! Time to get up, Senpai! The adorable BB-chan has come to greet you! Unlike those other kids, BB-chan is going to monopolize Senpai's pretty face before you head out. Come on, up you get, you little lazybones~!" BB-chan walked to the bedside, leaned over, and called out in a sweet voice.
"Mornin'..."
The orange-red haired girl, eyes bleary with sleep and hair disheveled, poked her head out from under the covers.
At this moment, three distinct "mountain peaks" bulged irregularly under the blankets on the girl's bed. Upon closer inspection, things that absolutely should not have been there were present in the room: a pair of massive golden claws—ferocious weapons that could be launched like missiles and retracted—were currently placed neatly on the floor by the nightstand. On the other side of the wall leaned a pair of steel blade-legs capable of cutting through almost anything in existence, their sharp knee-spikes particularly eye-catching.
BB blinked. Then, wearing a look of utter disbelief, she glanced at Gudako, who was tilting her head and squinting her eyes again, and decisively yanked back the covers.
She was met with this sight: the three bulging "mountains" were actually formed by three girls. Passionlip, with her arms detached, and Meltlilith, who had removed her meter-long prosthetic blade-legs, were sleeping in the same bed as Gudako.
"Why?! Why are they here?! BB-chan thought for sure she'd be the first person to come here and see Senpai today!" BB cried out, grabbing Gudako's pajama collar and shaking her vigorously.
Because Chaldea's Servant roster had suffered heavy losses, half the rooms remained vacant. The girls summoned yesterday had actually been assigned to their own individual rooms. Though small, the rooms were fully equipped with desks, chairs, beds, and bathrooms; they were comfortable personal spaces for relaxation with decent soundproofing. Of course, if a Servant possessed space-manipulation abilities, there was nothing stopping them from opening a zoo inside if they wished.
In fact, inside a cardboard box under Gudako's desk, three Starry Sphinx cubs were being raised. Though they were top-tier Phantasmal Species of Egyptian myth on par with dragons, it would take centuries for them to grow into reliable combatants; they usually slept quietly.
However, as of today, it seemed two more humanoid cyber-AI girls had been added to the mix.
"Waaaaah... BB, let go, let go." Gudako's head wobbled as she was shaken. Although she wanted to stop the girl's rampage, she found that her own hands wouldn't move.
Gudako glanced to her sides and finally realized why. She must have slept leaning against Lip last night; one of her hands was completely buried and stuck within an "oppai" larger than her own thigh. Her other arm was numb; the petite Meltlilith, also in pajamas, was curled up and using Gudako's arm as a pillow, deep in sleep.
Despite the noisy shaking, the two girls seemed completely unaffected. They continued to cling to Gudako's arms, their lips curling into subtle, satisfied little arcs.
"You... wake up, all of you!!!" BB's eyes widened, her face flushing as she held the covers high and shouted.
"So noisy... disturbing us so early in the morning, you're really persistent. Could you please leave?" Meltlilith muttered.
"BB, it's not good to disturb Senpai's sleep," Lip added, sitting up.
"Fine then, Senpai~! Accompany me back 'over there' for a moment." Without giving her a choice, BB pulled Gudako toward the coffin-like interface, operated the machine, and entered a Rayshift. Meltlilith (blue ribbon) and Passionlip (pink ribbon) naturally followed.

"When did the map here change like this?" Gudako cried out in surprise upon arrival.
The cyber-world area, which originally featured a pink humanoid map of a woman showing off her curves, had been replaced by a blue girl with her arms spread wide as if welcoming something. The space here was littered with BB "elements" that Kiara Sessyoin had failed to reclaim, which could be used to strengthen her Noble Phantasm.
Just then, another screen appeared in the void before the girls. BGM began to play—the kind of mysterious music that signals the entrance of a villainous character.
BB-channel/GO!!!
Same rhythm, same pinkish-purple broadcasting room, same girl appearing on the screen. The only difference between the girl on the screen and the one on the ground were those crimson-red eyes.
"Eh? There are two BBs!?" Gudako asked, her eyes wide with confusion.
"Pleased to meet you, Master of Chaldea~! Controlling the Third Beast was hard work. To achieve such a great reversal against such a vast power gap—I offer you my respect. Truly,
thank you... Yes... thank you for working so hard for my sake!" The red-eyed girl on the screen flashed a wicked smile.
"Everything has gone according to my plan. Now that Miss Kiara has been defeated, no one can stop me! From now on, I rule this cyber-space. Whether it's the Moon Cell or humanity, I no longer belong to either side! I will act only for myself. I am the true evil super-AI, the most wicked, most villainous, most adorable BB-chan! As a lifeform with intelligence far surpassing humans, I hereby issue a declaration of war to all of humanity!"
Meltlilith explained: "BB/GO is a super-AI extracted from the body of the 'Demonized Kiara' in the Moon Cell, who was summoned alongside Lip and me by the Demon God Pillar Zepar. Neither BB is exactly a 'good person,' but this one is much more reckless. Gudako, stay behind us and don't move."
Lip, though not as blunt, wore a vigilant expression as she shielded Gudako, whispering: "This BB/GO is not so easy to get along with."
"Eh? What exactly do you plan to do?" Gudako asked curiously.
BB/GO flashed an evil smile and detailed her plan to the group: "What I want to do is maintain this cyber-space world, fix its position on the ocean's surface, and then hack into the entire Earth's network. I'll use factories to mass-produce 'bbb' suppression robots, form an army, and then drive humanity into prisons for unified management. Then, I'll pull all humans into the cyber-space world to become my slaves or fans, spending every day doing nothing but praising me."
The BB standing next to Gudako listened to this plan, her eyes shining brightly before she loudly protested: "What... how wonderful... no, how wicked! What a thought! I won't allow it! Senpai, that 'me' is a version of myself that cannot be allowed to run wild! She's definitely much weaker than Miss Kiara! Let's defeat her together!"
"Eh? You just let your true feelings slip, didn't you? Which one would be better to defeat?" Gudako asked jokingly.
"Why don't we just defeat both of them and be done with it!" Meltlilith said with a smirk.
"Wait! No matter how you look at it, we should be defeating that evil one over there!" BB said huffily.
"Is there even a difference between you two?" Lip joined in the laughter.
"Eh! Even Lip is saying that!" BB shook her fists, dissatisfied.
"Speaking of which, Lilith and Lip should be on my side. At least in the other world, I was the one who created them first," the opposite BB/GO said with a sneer.
"Could someone explain this clearly?" Gudako asked, looking at the BB beside her.
Feeling the sense of crisis, the "good" BB felt she needed to explain exactly what was going on.
"Ahem. Actually, as the BB sent by the Moon Cell to clean up the aftermath, I had secret contact with this BB/GO who was split off from Miss Kiara, and we reached a cooperative contract. In order to defeat Kiara, she hid behind the scenes to accumulate power while I operated the cyber-world in her stead. But honestly, staying in the shadows to observe humans and gather strength... she was just using me as a decoy. Now that Kiara is down, she wants to claim all the benefits for herself. Truly a terrifying child..."
"..." The other girls all wore a subtle expression that said: Are you really one to talk?
BB stuck out her tongue and muttered, "Exposed?", before laughing: "Well, this was all understood between us from the start. We both had our little schemes, planning to absorb the other once Miss Kiara was defeated!"
Things like opening backdoors, intercepting or inserting Chaldea's Servants, and using various small tricks to interfere with Kiara's plans without being noticed. Creating KP (Kiara Punishment) to suppress Kiara's sensitivity to pleasure so she couldn't reach her "peak," thereby stalling her transformation and buying a massive amount of time—these were all things the two BBs had worked on together in secret.
"I, who lurked in the shadows enduring hardship, am the True Final Boss BB/GO! Victory shall be mine! As for being lonely or envious because I was left aside for so long... not at all!" BB/GO claimed.
However, as the newborn BB sent by the Moon Cell, this BB and the BB/GO before them—despite sharing the same origin and having similar personalities—had key internal differences due to their differing experiences.
The MoonCell BB on Gudako's side was a recorded super-AI fixed after the events on the Far Side of the Moon, sent as an antivirus vaccine to handle Kiara's metamorphosis. Meanwhile, BB/GO had been secretly tampered with by the Kiara of her world long ago during that world's Holy Grail War. Because she was absorbed into the Demonic Bodhisattva and influenced by the Third Beast, she had already fallen into a state of "rampage" in every sense of the word.
