Meerkat Localizing Literature
About a week had passed since then, and with Regress’s help, I continued to climb the ranks, leading to days that felt monotonous and unchanging. During this time, Doodle Valley welcomed a new guest.
When I was called into Yarzak’s room, I found Yarzak, Stroman, and two strangers waiting. One was an elderly man around sixty years old, dressed in robes, and the other was a slightly plump middle-aged woman around forty, clad in armor.… Read more
“I’ve heard the reason you chose this school, Sou-san.”
Kimiya said.
Just like she said, of all people, I had only told her the real reason I picked this school.
—Because I want to deal with human relationships in a calculated way.
I didn’t share the full details. It’s not like I have some concrete goal.
But even though I only explained my general intent, she still offered me her support without asking for more.
“That said, I can’t agree with you pushing yourself so hard.”… Read more
(Oh right, the murder weapon hasn’t been found yet… I think they said the head was struck with a blunt object)

“So, why am I being dragged into this?”

“Ah, I see.”
Linda is a spirit master like me and Gareth, the type who fights directly on the front lines.… Read more
To Yufia, magic had always been a chore forced on her by her parents.

I pulled myself together and began probing the mind of butler Hanzawa, targeting him specifically.
“By the way, you’re butler Hanzawa-san, right? Was there anything unusual about the lady’s condition?”
“No, nothing particularly unusual…”
[That woman probably never thought she’d be killed today! I feel so refreshed!]
(Instead of basking in satisfaction, give me some better hints!)… Read more
Gori shrank under the sheer force of Ryōsuke’s fury. Right, he mentioned donating a ton to the police. Piss him off, and those donations might stop—career over.
Since Gori couldn’t push further, I took over.
“Um, just for reference, could you tell me what everyone was doing after breakfast?”
Hitomi answered with visible irritation.
“Father and I were chatting in the parlor. Hanzawa was washing dishes, then cleaning. Ayashi was… doing something in the garden the whole time.”… Read more
