“Don’t regret losing.”
“Hate to break it to you, but I’ve never regretted anything. Please, enlighten me.”
“Fine. I’ll cut you down along with that Demon King!”
Words met with words.
Rourke poured all his spiritual energy into his sword spirit and the evil spirit, not caring about the consequences or the future.
All that mattered was this moment, with every fiber of his being.
“Go, Kuro!!”

The next moment, the cup was engulfed in flames and shattered.
“!?”
“If we burn him to just before carbonization, there won’t be any facial features left. Then we can show the people ‘This is Weiss’s corpse!'”… Read more

“Hello there, I’m Ban, the suspicious traveler.”
(This person is definitely suspicious… and he wasn’t here just a moment ago, right? When exactly did he…)
“Hmm, a duel…”
The suspicious traveler watched the duel with interest.… Read more

“……It’s my *Compensation Umbra.”
“Compensation Umbra?”
She could tell he nodded from the shift in his presence.
“It demands *physical contact with people*… as a delayed payment.”
The exhaustion in his voice made it impossible to doubt.

Mind-Reading Detective Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 12
“Th-this is!”
“What’s wrong?”
I approached the speaker while listening carefully, concentrating seriously on that music.
A high school girl suddenly standing in the corner of the shop – the master also looked at me with an exasperated expression saying “She’s doing something again.”
“Your Napolitan is here, Kanako… well, whatever.”
Ignoring Koyomin who had started eating by herself, I concentrated on listening carefully to the music playing in the shop.
…Hmm, but the more I listen, the more it feels somehow different.… Read more

After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 3 Part 5
“N-No way! Yuzuriha-san fought just as hard against the Ogres! And during the coup, she was the one who drew their attention!”
Desperately trying to downplay my role, I glanced at Yuzuriha-san—only to see her grimace as she leaned in to whisper something in my ear.
“This Saintess, just like Tōko, has a sharp tongue. That much they share—but her elder sister’s even worse.”
“Yuzuriha, I can hear you, you know?”
“Uh, w-well, it’s clear you two get along.”… Read more
