Prologue: The Vice-Captain’s Troubles

 
[The White Scales of Cyclic Protection, Prim-Libra] – Tenth Branch.
 
Located in the heart of the metropolis Sakura City, it was often described as the “White Castle.”
 
From afar, its austere, all-white exterior might resemble a massive office building.
 
But up close, the impression changed.
 
Stained-glass windows, pointed arch motifs, and decorative spires near the rooftop一
 
many of its features were reminiscent of Gothic architecture.… Read more

The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 1 Chapter 9 part 4

Here they were, girls enamored with the same boy – rivals in love, essentially. Under normal circumstances, just sitting at the same table would be miraculous for those destined to harbor resentment, envy and fight until one emerged victorious.
 
And yet right now, these three were bonded by an intense sense of fellow feeling. Any lingering hostility from the previous day had dissipated, replaced by a profound kinship befitting comrades.
 
Between bites of the spicy curry, Hakua invoked that legendary tale of friendship.… Read more

Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Prologue

Prologue
 

“I’m sorry.”
 
No matter who looked at it, “she” was not at fault.
 
She was undoubtedly running around more than anyone else present, doing everything she could. She raised her voice to give instructions, guiding those who were lost and encouraging those who were exhausted. Without hesitating for even a moment, she continued working despite being soiled with blood and filth. While others collapsed from exhaustion, she worked almost without rest, and on top of that, remained attentive to everyone around her.… Read more

5 (The Duchess of Uentas’ Perspective)
 

A few days after leaving Frontier Lord Lohengrin’s castle,
 
after passing through the border with a forged ID and entering a small fortress beyond, the envoy party bowed their heads as one when Ayano entered.
 
Ayano let out a relieved sigh as she removed her overcoat, asking,
 
“How was everything, Minister? Were you all doing well while I was away?”
 
“We managed somehow…Oh my, Your Grace. It seems your chest has become even flatter in the short time since we last met?”… Read more

Chapter 4
 

 
“Was he outstanding as a person of Eisenhud?”
 
If asked that, Kurtz would undoubtedly shake his head.
 
After all, although he didn’t get angry, he was often bewildered by Artesia.
 
“…Kurtz, I’ve told you many times.”
 
Standing in front of him, Artesia folded her arms and narrowed her eyes.
 
“Come at me like you mean to beat me to a pulp.”
 
“A servant can’t possibly hit their master with all their might…?!”… Read more

542: Hakase
 
And finally, Fiona-tan and others came to our house.
 
Me: “Ah, Fiona-chan. Lurun-chan, and Eres-chan too. Welcome, glad you could come.”
 
By the way, I started calling the Lost Fairies girls by their first names.
 
They use first names too, to distinguish from my sister. Come to think of it, their family names are closer to their real names.
 
Eres: “Excuse us!”
 
Lurun: “Hello, Hakase-san!”
 
Fio: “Excuse us. Thank you for having us today, Hakase-san.”… Read more

Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 3

 
“—A person?”
 
A figure writhing on the ground, struggling to crawl forward.
 
A young man in his late teens—on the verge of death.
 
The moment she saw him, Asha’s decision was made.
 
“Hey! Are you alright?!”
 
She abandoned her sword and rushed to his side.
 
Had he been attacked? Gotten lost? Countless possibilities, but saving him came first.
 
“Stay with me! What happened?!”
 
“…Uah… haa… ra…”
 
“Hara?… Read more

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
 
“If it gets dangerous, Sensei will help me!”
 
“O-oh, right.”
 
…Hm? As we’re talking, I sense something coming from up ahead. It might be quite a large group.
 
“Kimijima. Something’s coming.”
 
“Yes.”
 
We hurriedly slip into the forest at the side of the road. We hide among the thick leaves, both of us holding our breath. “Bear with it for a bit, okay?” Kimijima says as she closes the lid of her bag to hide Mera.… Read more

Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 2

Eljudnir.
 
The name of the mansion where the secret society Helheim makes its base.
 
A place beyond the world’s reckoning, hidden even from perception by unfathomable magic—where none but Hel, the Corpse King, and his eight elite officers, the [Eight Precepts], are permitted to tread.
 
A woman with pale, bluish-white hair walks down the mansion’s halls, her beautiful features twisted darkly as she exhales a long sigh.

Chapter 1: The Return
 

“Ugh…………”
 
Morning. Sunlight streams through the gaps in the curtains, waking me.
 
[Helheim], [Corpse King].
 
Those words feel like a distant dream—
 
“——Guhhhoooooooooohhhh…………!!”
 
—yet they’re a past so vivid it makes me writhe in agony, clutching my head on the bed.
 
“Aaaaaaaah! Just let me forget already………… the hell is [Helheim] anyway?! Too much mythology binge-reading, you idiot! Dumbass! Dumbass!! Die! Kill the Demon King and then you die too, aaaaaaah!!”… Read more
