“Tsukumo.”
“Mmm?”
Somehow already beside me, Tsukumo watched the fight with sparkling eyes like the other kids.
Though I wished she’d stop muttering “So cool how she disappears into shadows…”
“I need to get to the [Moon Tower].”
“…Oh? And?”
“Uh, yeah. I mean, …… ”
She looked intrigued.
I look back into those big eyes and ask.
“Well… You got any ideas?”
I asked about escaping this battlefield.… Read more
Mind-Reading Detective Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 7
(A beautiful mature woman?! I can’t tell at all?!)
I take back what I said earlier! Even though I’ve seen many gaps between exterior and interior, this is shocking!
Her actual age – I forgot I was in the middle of a deduction show and ended up staring intently.
(No matter how I look at her, she doesn’t look like she’s in her sixties! Ah, but maybe her neck area looks a little wrinkled, I guess?)… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 5 part 2
Luckily, Nina found her partner, Laura, right next to the room she was in.
Unfortunately, it was clear that Laura was in a weakened state.
Using the key she had taken from the bandits she had just killed, Nina opened the door and checked on Laura. She was also injured. Blood was seeping through her clothes, and her face was pale. Nina frowned.
“You’re not okay, are you……? Can you hold on……!?”
“I’m… fine……”
“Stay still, I’ll definitely save you……!”… Read more
How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 6
“So? How’s work been since then?”
“Hm, well… I guess I’d say it’s going smoothly… for now.”
“That’s a pretty vague way to put it. Not that I blame you.”
Kimiya gave a faint, wry smile as she spoke.
“You think?”
“Yeah. I mean, everyone involved is… difficult, after all.”
“Ah… Yeah, that’s definitely true.”
Whether it was Isago, Minase, or Shiranui—
each of them was undeniably the troublesome type.
“But… I can’t help feeling a little jealous,”
Kimiya suddenly said.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 2 Part 8
11 (Toko’s Perspective)
Late at night at the Sakuragi Ducal House.
Toko entered the head of the family’s study at an even later hour than usual and let out a deep sigh as soon as she slumped into a chair. Toko wish Suzuha-nii would at least give me a shoulder rub or something, she thought.
The Duke of Sakuragi, who had entered after her, handed her a cup of hot tea, which she took a sip from.… Read more

Mastermind Behind the Scenes Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 3
“Are we about to do the sorting?”
“What are you talking about? the sorting was already done.”
“Well, yes, that’s true… but the visual is completely that thing where they decide which of four houses you belong to…”
“Four houses…? What are you talking about?”
Playing dumb, I see.
“Anyway, let’s begin. Sit in that chair and put on the hat.”
“…”
Though unconvinced, I sit in the chair as told and try to put on the ha—
“Alright, that’s enough.”… Read more

However–
“–But if it’s a [deal], that changes things.”
Edel answers with a fearless smile.
“When things move, [money] moves greatly at the same time. If Kurtz creates that movement, then I currently have the option to enjoy profits on the front lines.”
“That’s right. Edel understands better than anyone the profits that first movers in business opportunities gain.”
“Yes. That’s how I was able to build a solid position within the Mercator family.”

At the same time, I felt as if the temperature in the classroom suddenly dropped. Well, it was already freezing cold because of Tachibana-sensei to begin with. I mean it got even colder than before. There was no mistaking it, given that the applause that had always occurred after every self-introduction until now didn’t happen at all after his.
Why?—Just as I was wondering about this, from somewhere toward the front seats, I clearly heard someone mutter “An outsider, huh.”… Read more

“Oh nooo~! What’s gonna happen to us~!?”
“A thrilling event where we get to see the hidden side of our diligent young lord~!”
The two clasped hands, acting all “Oh my~♡” about it.
Izumi bashfully looked down and—
“I’ll… go get ready for a sec.”
—headed to his room.
“…Huh?”
“…Oh my~?”
His unexpected move left Nanao and Meina stunned.
They’d expected him to turn bright red and go “Wh-what are you two thinking!?”… Read more
