The next day, when we went to the outpost, one of the state soldiers called out to me.
It seemed the spear I had ordered was ready. They told us to come to the blacksmith.
I had kept the spear order a secret from Kimishima. I wanted to surprise her with a gift.
Kimishima and the others wanted to come with me, but I told them to go ahead without me. We had planned to hunt nearby today to feed Mera, so I told them to go on their own.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 3 part 3
“Welcome to [Prim-Libra].”
Standing beyond the elevator were the angels.
Dozens of Excia, the Winged Guardians, gathered to guide the tour.
And at the edge一there she was.
“…………!”
HINATA-CHAN!!
NO WAYYYYYY!!!
MY IDOL!!! IS HERE!!! IN THE HOLY LAND!!!!
“一Hah………???”
“!?!?”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice一or sigh?一echoed in my head… or so I thought.
“…………My imagination?”
Looking around, the only one meeting my gaze was Hinata-chan, waving with a smile.
And beside her, Utsurugi Rui, shrouded in gloom.… Read more
The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 2
Amane’s feelings? Safe.
Izumi’s stomach? Safe.
A perfect, conflict-free resolution.
But Amane—
“Eh…?”
—looked utterly heartbroken.
“W-What? What’s wrong?”
“Um…”
Fidgeting in embarrassment, she dropped a bombshell.
“I-I made a different lunch for you… for later…?”
“Are you trying to turn me into a pro wrestler!??”
He was way past the age of “Eat well and grow big!”
In the end, under the weight of everyone’s stares, he picked up the chopsticks.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 3 part 3
Ur was witnessing what could only be called a miracle.
“【────】”
Even as dawn broke, the golden girl, Diz, continued her life-saving efforts, chanting spells.
Before her hands was a passenger who had been severely injured in the earlier undead rampage. The man, with a deep gash in his abdomen and unconscious, was being treated while his wife and children gripped his hands.
And soon,
“【────】Done.”
Diz declared succinctly. The children and the wife were momentarily stunned by the abruptness of her declaration, but as Diz removed her hands, the man began to breathe quietly.… Read more
Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 6
“Hah… hah…!”
[G-GOoOo…]
A Demon knelt, its exoskeleton failing, flesh exposed.
Dragging the weakened blade, I raised it overhead—
“Burning my army… I’ll just rebuild. Do it.”
Her last Demons charged on command.
Deaf to their thunderous advance, I focused on the crippled foe.
This Demon was likely a lost explorer’s fate.
But hesitation died long ago.
The Corpse King in me howled.
I’ll avenge you with this life—
The sword pierced its hide—unnaturally soft—
Blood geysered.… Read more
Become the Mastermind Volume 1 Chapter 6 part 3
By using the “Philosopher’s Stone” sleeping in Felmund’s lands and ensuring operational use of the magitek weapons, they could seize the initiative and surpass the other ducal houses.
For that, House Ornament had bided its time.
Taking utmost care never to let the Stone’s existence be discovered, pouring their house’s lifeblood into researching it, inheriting the will of generations of heads to realize this plan, they had strained every effort.
No unexpected event was enough to shake a house not so weakly soft.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 2 chapter 9 part 3
“…Do you understand?”
When I didn’t say a word, Aoi asked, seemingly gauging my reaction. How should I answer? Should I honestly say I don’t understand? Or should I give a vague answer to protect my pride as a small magician? The way of thinking and common sense I had as a magician until now were overturned in an instant.
But perhaps sensing our confusion, Aoi turned their palms upward and began to speak.… Read more
How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 6
I got the request this morning, right after parting with Shiranui and returning to the faculty office.
After returning the borrowed key to Hiyama and reporting that Shiranui had been using the room, he sighed wearily.
“I see. As long as that’s confirmed… Really, Tokimoto-kun…”
He muttered, thanked me, then shook his head in exhaustion.
I’m not sure what exactly he found convincing, but it seemed unrelated to me.
And so, Hiyama’s request came to an end—though the conversation continued because, for some reason, an unfamiliar upperclassman girl was also present.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 2 Epilogue
Epilogue
As Duke Sakuragi blocked any escape for Suzuha’s brother and the line of nobles stood arrayed before the duke, Toko watched flustered Suzuha’s older brother and felt a slight weight lift off her shoulders, allowing her to crack a mischievous smile.
“Fufun, even Suzuha nii has to struggle once in a while, doesn’t he?”
“Hmm? Doesn’t Queen Toko always get bailed out by the Margrave of Lohengrin?”
asked Grand Duchess Ayano.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 3
“You call them monsters. But really, how disgusting. Take a look in the mirror.”
Branding them as ‘Unlaws’ monsters. Using them as weapons, as tools. Exploiting them for your own conveniences, desires and selfishness. Not recognizing their human rights, only seeing their abilities.
“Which one is really the monster?”
If they committed crimes of their own will, if they used their abilities as they pleased, it’s understandable that they be punished. But if not?… Read more
