The master nearly teared up at her growth. The timid girl he once knew was gone.
(Heh. Hard to believe I’m the same man who abandoned his family for work. Guess I’ve mellowed…)
Normally, meddling in someone’s love life was unforgivable. Especially when the target was a girl young enough to be his granddaughter. His soul was definitely hell-bound.
But even so—!
For Hitomi, whom he trusted like family…
For her fleeting love, which reminded him so much of the daughter his ex-wife took away—He swore he’d make it happen.… Read more

Chapter 8: Speyside’s Presentation
Shops lined the perimeter of the plaza, already bustling with many people. Some faculty members and senior faculty would give their morning and afternoon final presentations at the central plaza, while other general faculty and students would present at the four directional plazas and the central plaza during available time slots.
Incidentally, while Glen would normally give the presentation on the final day’s finale, for some reason it had been assigned to me this time.… Read more
Diary of Romantic Comedy Volume 1 Chapter 1.5
Another Perspective: The Other Side of Month A
The Other Side of Month A: From Sakakibara Akira’s Perspective
The expressionless friend I met at the training camp is, I think, quite a mysterious person. After talking in the same room, I found that although he’s expressionless, he has a sense of humor and boldly declares his hobby is watching rom-com works. However, he doesn’t seem interested in romance himself, as he doesn’t really remember girls’ names.… Read more
Corpse King Volume 2 Prologue
Prologue: The Faded World
The World Tree, Ygguel.
A colossal tree whose roots stretch across the entire continent from its center, boasting a height so great that its canopy is lost in the haze of the clouds.
Its branches and leaves spread so wide that sunlight never reaches the base. They have grown sturdy enough to serve as paths for those who manage to reach the upper strata, and the top of the World Tree is so vast and shrouded in mystery that an entire civilization could be built upon it.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 7 part 2
“That is not common sense. It’s simply ignorance.”
The moment I clearly uttered words of denial, the portly man ran toward me with a desperate expression. He quickly placed his hand on my shoulder and brought his face close.
“Y-y-young lady…! I’m telling you this for your own good, so please say that what you said was wrong! I’ll apologize with you… no, if you can’t accept that, just bow your head! I’ll apologize!”
The man said this with a pale face, then put his hand on my back and turned toward the blonde man.… Read more
Become the Mastermind Volume 2 Chapter 3 part 4
“It’s a bit iffy whether you could call it an acquaintance. It’s just that when I stopped by a town to investigate Fleet Volcano, he told me about [the Dragon King’s graveyard]—that was the extent of our relationship.”
In terms of time, it was only a few hours of association.
He had happened to see him at a tavern, and by coincidence, he was a resident of Vechta Village, their investigation destination. Kurtz had simply listened to the legends he told in order to gather information.… Read more
So I’m Banishing Everyone Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 8
“We did it! Adem!”
“Tch! Idiot! Don’t come yet!”
“Eh… Ah.”
At my voice, Linfa stopped in his tracks with a start. And then he realized. The tail of the immobilized Violet Crystal Scorpion. Its stinger was pointing right at him.
At this close range, Linfa, a rear guard, absolutely couldn’t dodge it.
“Dammit.”
I sprinted instantly. Make it—!
A rear guard entering effective range before the match is settled.… Read more

Chapter 7: Cultural Festival Day One
Morning came, and I was summoned to Glen’s office.
Since all lectures are suspended during the cultural festival, all faculty members except those giving presentations should have the day off.
Feeling somewhat irritated by this thought, I entered Glen’s room, only to be met with a troubled look.
“Don’t be so angry with me.”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
When I replied, Glen chuckled and nodded with a wry smile.… Read more
How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 3 part 4
“This wasn’t your idea, was it, Kageyuki? Who else is in?”
“Right now, aside from me, there’s Oshimi-senpai from the drama club and this guy in my grade, Shiranui.”
“——————”
You know her? I nearly ask, but stop myself when I notice.
Minase, standing right in front of me, has her eyes wide open in shock.
She’s usually so expressionless—seeing her this stunned is rare.
When I glance back, Isago looks just as bewildered.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 9
As expected of Tsunagai High School. I never imagined there would be a classmate with such a unique way of thinking.
I felt my heart naturally beat faster at the good fortune of meeting such a person so soon after enrollment.
“…I never thought of it that way.”
“Really? But Izuta-kun, you seemed like you’d like science too.”
“Research is certainly interesting. But that’s because it makes me feel the possibility of contributing to humanity with my own power.… Read more
