“……Wait a moment. If that were the case, more detailed information should flow to the Nevis family and others who are doing business on the back side.”
“Is that so? But if that’s the case, what are you saying?”
Not understanding what Aoi wanted to say, Rocks tilted his head. Nodding at this, Aoi opened her mouth.
“In other words, it might not be simple smuggling by merchants or rogues, but someone with much greater power might be involved.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 7 part 4
——Advanced Magic: Second Stage is something multiple skilled mages should wield together. Don’t even think about doing it alone.
The instructors who taught Shizuku magic, though they all fawned over her charm, never budged on this point. It was proof they were excellent mages themselves, and even they couldn’t imagine performing such magic alone or in small numbers.
Advanced Magic: Second Stage wasn’t about praying to spirits—it was the technique of those who dared to challenge them.… Read more

Interlude: The Prince and Butler’s Night
“No good, I can’t sleep…”
That night, Weiss-Strain was about to leave his bed and head to the mansion’s courtyard.
The reason was, of course, training.
“My stamina… my stamina is overflowing…!”
He was already completely terminal.
This Prince, who had been getting by with short sleep (※basically fainting) for years. Even though Reite gave him a child-level lecture saying “Sleep properly and quietly at night!”, his body was rejecting it.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 4 Part 3
4
Clang, clang—the sound of metal striking metal echoed through the forge.
Where was I? In the elf village’s smithy.
What was I doing? Hammering orichalcum under the elder’s strict supervision.
Why? Because of Unyu-ko’s situation.
The day after the shocking “whole village bowing” incident,
the elves finally regained their composure and came to a decision.
(Well, I only heard this from the elder.)
“—So, the princess failed to slay the Wandering Silver Haired Vampire, did they?”… Read more

Extra Chapter: Rocks’ Hidden Struggles
Many rough vendors have set up shop. Having heard such rumors, Rocks runs around the academy during the cultural festival preparation period.
“Oh my, Rocks-san. Has something happened?”
A gruff male voice called out to Rocks as he walked through the academy accompanied by knights. When he turned around, he saw the face of a young man from the Nevis family whom he occasionally conversed with. Rocks furrowed his brow and approached with quick steps.… Read more
You Can Become a Hero Volume 1 Chapter 6 Part 5
At the same time, some kind of combat sounds echoed repeatedly in the Suya Mountain Range underground. It was a confined space with the slight characteristic of sound carrying, but naturally not everyone could hear these sounds. Only those nearby could hear them.
(Something… there’s a sound? This is… metallic sounds?)
Will happened to be walking near that area searching for Black Cats. He noticed the metallic sounds and ran toward that location.
(I have a bad feeling…)
He ran and reached the place where Tamika and Ruta were fighting.… Read more
Mob Who Died Volume 1 prologue part 4
“Yo, Merchant-san. You seem to be in trouble.”
“……Yeah.”
He nodded as if he had given up.
Even if I was just a low-ranked bandit, he probably thought that clinging to a piece of straw was better than having nothing at all.
“As you can see, I’ve been captured by your boss.”
“Are you really a big shot from Tranquilica, Mister?”
He hesitated on whether to answer my question, but then he probably figured that speaking the truth might change the situation.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 12 part 2
“You know that the number of people who can become magicians in our country is extremely small compared to other countries. In such a situation, allocating budget to education has a high possibility of being wasted. In that case, it would be better to produce more blacksmiths. Then we would need to expand facilities even further. You understand there’s no extra budget, don’t you?”
“Y-yes…”
At Grants’s explanation, Eliza dropped her shoulders and replied.… Read more

Chapter 12: Eliza’s Presentation and King Grandsands
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I really intended to return right away, but I never expected it would take this long… My apologies.”
I approached Tis, who had been watching the presentations while waiting, and immediately apologized for taking so much time. She shook her head left and right with a very apologetic attitude.
“N-no, I don’t mind at all.”
Perhaps being reserved, Tis said such a thing.… Read more
