Meerkat Localizing Literature
Spring is such a frivolous season.
Just when you think lush greenery has suddenly sprung forth from a world that had been dried brown throughout winter, flowers begin popping open here and there. It’s as if the earth’s vitality, suppressed by frost, can no longer contain itself the moment it detects the north wind relenting and comes gushing out.
The earliest bloomer is, of course, the plum blossom.… Read more
“(Tch, he’s still not getting hit…!?)”
As expected, Lloyd’s attacks failed to land on Shion. As his mana rapidly dwindled, Lloyd began to panic—
“—Hey, you’d better watch out.”
“Hah!?”
“Look down at your feet. …Your shoelace is untied.”
“What the—!?”
Just like the plate earlier, Lloyd reflexively glanced down, thinking his shoelace had been undone without him noticing.
…But Lloyd’s shoes used buckle-fastened straps—there were no laces to begin with.… Read more
Come to think of it, youth is something like a well-crafted mystery novel.
For those of us caught in the midst of it, we can’t even clearly understand what we’re experiencing.
Only after everything ends, when it’s too late to take anything back, does the full picture finally come into view.
“We were such idiots back then, but man, that was fun, wasn’t it?” — looking back while saying things like that, people can finally recognize it clearly as youth for the first time.… Read more

VOLUME 1
SYPNOSIS:
Bittersweet yet fresh — a story of science, love, and mystery.
When I think about it, youth is a lot like a well-crafted detective novel.

“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
(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.

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
“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
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
