Going to the central plaza, many people had already gathered. Since there would be a presentation soon, most people were looking toward the center of the plaza.
“I’ll go check on Hennessy-sensei for a moment.”
“Ah, understood.”
“Then I’ll look for Dean-kun!”
“That sounds good. Please do.”
After this exchange with Aile and the others, I headed toward Hennessy, who was taking deep breaths at the side of the plaza. Hennessy usually lets her red hair hang down casually, but today it was properly tied up and set.… Read more

Chapter 10: Cultural Festival Day Two
Before I knew it, last night we had spent over two hours discussing magic and educational systems from various countries. Topics about territorial issues and import/export also came up frequently, but those seemed to greatly influence magical development as well, so I made sure to listen carefully.
“…It’s such beautiful weather.”
Squinting at the morning sun, I think about today, the second day of the cultural festival.… Read more
Misunderstood Villainess Volume 1 Chapter 7 part 4
“[Draw-Slashing Flash]”
“!?”
A devastating draw that flashed in an instant. A massive explosion erupted.
This was absolutely incomparable to before. The moment the prince’s hand wavered slightly, Ashley and dozens of meters behind him were blown to smithereens. An explosive sound echoed through the [Demon Forest].
“Guuuuu!?”
Something pierced through the rising dust clouds. It was Ashley with an agonized expression.
Again he seemed to have nullified the impact, but no.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 9
The Decoy Doll
Its full designation was:
Emergency Security Use – Simplified Replica-Type Artificial Doll 〈Dimension-Coreless-Interface Mk-VII〉.
Incidentally, “Tsukumo” had slapped on this fancy-sounding name upon completion—there was no deeper meaning. It was just because it sounded cool.
Since “Dimension~” was too long, it was shortened to its initials, earning the nickname:
〈Decoy-kun – Mark Seven, Nameless Type〉.
This nickname was used so often in daily life that Tsukumo had already forgotten its official designation.
Now, let’s briefly explain Decoy-kun’s nature.… Read more
You Can Become a Hero Volume 1 Chapter 6 Part 4
(He’s giving me advice, I can tell he’s a kind person. Really mysterious. This person probably isn’t nervous at all. There really are all kinds of people… there’s even a descendant of the hero.)
Just as Will was remembering Tamika, whom he had met at the hero’s statue that morning, a loud voice rang out at that exact moment.
“—What did you say!? You brat!”
“I only said what was natural.”
The restaurant fell silent.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 7 part 3
Magic is a miracle granted equally to all, regardless of race or status.
Who was it that had told Laura that?
The [Magic Stones] obtained by defeating monsters were used in many magical infrastructures. But their power was far from replacing the roles of the priests who resided in the temples. They could create fire, summon wind, purify water, and enrich the land.
However, large-scale magic capable of nurturing the sustenance for all humans living in the city-states was still beyond humanity’s reach.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 9 part 2
“Currently, our Court-Highland has adopted Fidic Academy’s methods, implementing advancement based on ability and graduation based on final presentation results, but somehow the overall skill of our mages hasn’t improved. How are your countries handling this?”
“In terms of mage ability, we have some outstanding individuals. However, that’s largely due to talent. Carvan Kingdom has many unique magics, but aren’t those also research results by a very small number of talented individuals?”
“That’s true. Certainly, new magic creators appear every year, but it’s by the same ten or so people.… Read more

Chapter 9: Reception Party
In the evening, I was called to attend a reception with representatives from various countries at Glen’s request. Since I had interrupted Grants earlier in the day when he was trying to say something, I couldn’t easily refuse.
When I went to the central plaza to watch the senior faculty presentation, Glen and the others were already gathered there. Had they really been giving cultural festival tours all day long?
“Oh, Aoi-kun!”… Read more
Mind-Reading Detective Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 16
The new president Eijirō looked straight at the press corps.
“From when I started working under my father, I suspected that Logic was conspiring with certain politicians and police to recommend accounting fraud to some clients. The fact that I couldn’t pursue this and stop it makes me equally guilty with my father.”
Eijirō-san’s eyes moistened. His expression showed a complex mix of justice, responsibility, and love for his father.
“My father was a kind-hearted man.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 4 Part 2
“…Why would those people want to come to such a remote place…?”
When Ayano murmured this absentmindedly, the young bureaucrat replied matter-of-factly:
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? They wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of person the Frontier Margrave is.”
“Ah—”
That’s right, Ayano belatedly remembered.
She, too, had once visited him for that very reason.
Back then, she never imagined she’d end up buried in paperwork like this—
“…Yes.… Read more
