“Can’t we… do something?”
As I covered my mouth and racked my brain, I saw Nifl trembling out of the corner of my eye.
Looking closely, she seemed to be trying hard to keep the corners of her mouth from turning up.
“Wh-What is it?”
“N-No… I just thought, you really are the Corpse King.”
“What does that mean…”
Setting aside her inner thoughts, Nifl usually doesn’t change her expression much. Seeing her looking at me with her cheeks visibly softening made me feel restless.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 4 Chapter 1 part 1
Chapter 1: The Frontier Margrave’s Branch School of the Female Knight Academy
1
The conflict with the vampires had been settled, the migration and aftercare for the elves was somehow finished, and it was finally a day in early autumn where I could catch my breath.
Queen Toko-san, who had come to Lohengrin Castle for the first time in a while, spoke up while munching on the local specialty, imo-yokan (sweet potato jelly), which had been served in the drawing room as a tea snack.… Read more

Another Perspective: The Other Side of Month B
The Other Side of Month B: Sei Umihara’s Perspective
One day during the long holiday, I found myself at an amusement park. Of course, I wasn’t alone. There was the much-discussed Sakakibara. Takashiro and Shironami, who are clearly head-over-heels for him. Sasaki, who makes his feelings for me painfully obvious… and then, there’s him—the expressionless guy I can never quite read.
We had been in the same group during the residential training and ate together, but… he always seemed so distinct.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 4
“So… what do we do?”
When Mizusaki asked, Iwama put her hand on the entrance door.
“For now, let’s lock it.”
Click. The biology room was now closed off again. Jounouchi should be inside.
Looking at the biology room, which for a hamster would be like a small island, I sighed.
“…We have no choice but to keep searching methodically.”
“Right.”
Looking at the old wooden floor, we searched silently for a while.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 3
“Got tired of playing with test tubes and now you’re playing with hamsters, Delta?”
“It’s not playing. Today we’re just learning how to care for them. If you’re not interested, hurry up and go back to interfering with waves or something.”
I’d accidentally retorted, and the biology room’s atmosphere became tense.
“Come on, don’t be like that. We came to observe in the spirit of friendship.”
Tomare Jō, looking far from friendly, appeared restless and idly reached out to touch Jounouchi.… Read more
Mob Who Died Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 2
With his blood loss and the poison, walking for long stretches was difficult.
We progressed while taking rests in abandoned villages and shacks along the way.
“You said your home became hard to live in, but where was it?”
I deliberately didn’t ask his name. It was going to be a short acquaintance anyway. My way of living is to avoid anything that makes parting painful. Don’t call me a lonely guy.
“A city called Tsiknok.… Read more
So I’m Banishing Everyone Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 1
Chapter 2
It has already been several weeks since I encountered the Respawn of the Labyrinth Guardian. Following the news of the Demon Lord’s emergence, the Adventurer’s Guild was bustling with even more activity than usual.
While the existence of a Demon Lord is a threat to the general populace, for adventurers, it is actually something to be welcomed. First and foremost, the work simply increases. As the Labyrinths become active, the number of monsters overflowing into the outskirts rises.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 2
“But Gamma-san, why did you suddenly come today?”
Having been diverted from his intended path, Mizusaki stepped into the place I least wanted him to touch.
Of course, it wasn’t something I was trying to hide at all costs. I just hadn’t mentioned it yet. But the events of Saturday were somehow hard to talk to Mizusaki about. One reason was that Mizusaki would surely tease me about going out with two girls, but more than that, Saturday’s outing was something difficult to explain—a tangled combination of the delicate relationship between Iwama and Kannabi and my own delicate involvement.… Read more
Become the Mastermind Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 1
Chapter 4
Around the time when the imperial capital gradually begins to bustle with activity.
Artesia’s daily routine was to wake up a little before that time.
However, this wasn’t due to habit or lifestyle patterns.
“………………”
After rising from her bed, Artesia lightly checked her body’s condition.
There was no drowsiness, fatigue, or hunger whatsoever.
Most of Artesia’s physical body was halted by her unique magic.
While the human body deteriorates and declines as [time] passes, Artesia uses [time]-based unique magic to interfere with the part where “the body deteriorates and decays as [time] passes,” so her thinking and bodily functions aren’t restricted.… Read more
Mastermind Behind the Scenes Volume 1 Chapter 1.5 part 3
Truly, unlike Touji whose family relationships are a minefield no matter where you dig, there’s nothing interesting about my family story. My family structure is parents, one older brother, one younger sister—a family of five. I think we’re a typical household in the countryside boonies.
If asked how family relations were, honestly I have to answer they weren’t very good. My brother was so smart and athletic that I doubted whether the same blood really flowed through him, me, and my sister, and naturally he had a good reputation in the neighborhood, making him my parents’ pride and joy.… Read more
