“Come to think of it, Lily was a multiple contractor. Is the tide turning against me a bit?”
“Then please wipe that relaxed smile off your face.”
Contrary to his words, Kyle-sensei laughed enjoyably. Roark voiced his complaint as he pulled out his medium.
“Roark, can you do this?”
“Honestly, it’s tough.”
In addition to not having a contracted Spirit, Roark—who couldn’t even use simple contracts or Spirit Arts properly—was currently weakened to the level of an ordinary person who merely thought they were a Spirit Master.… Read more

[Since this unit only has laws from approximately 12,000 years ago installed, I will respect the Master’s judgment.]
If I were to translate that, it probably means: “Since the laws with no one left to protect them can be ignored, please operate according to modern laws.” It had been doing various things like making me the Representative of the Federation or appointing me as the Captain of this ship, but I could feel that it truly intended to leave everything to me.… Read more

Udaijin Cedar City Designated Natural Monument Age: Approximately 800 years Trunk circumference: 6.5m Tree height: 28m
“What a weird name. If there’s an Udaijin Cedar, I wonder if there’s a Sadaijin Cedar too.”
TLNOTE:Udaijin = 右大 Sadaijin= 左大 右=right 左=left
Kannabi muttered a pointed observation. It was the same question I’d had when I was little.
“There is. On the opposite side of the approach.”
At that explanation, Iwama and Kannabi raised their gazes as if searching for the large tree.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 10 part 2
一Just before the vice-captain match was about to begin.
A flustered Magic Academy supervisor rushed into the special viewing box.
“Headmaster, it’s terrible…!”
“What is it…? Why such panic?”
Rudolf, the headmaster of the Magic Academy, looked slightly startled as he addressed the flustered supervising teacher, who was gasping for breath with sweat beading on his forehead.
“W-Well, you see…”
The teacher took a deep breath to steady himself before delivering the news with a grave expression.… Read more

About five minutes after being told we had successfully been swallowed by the black hole.
There was still no sign of the ship breaking apart. Although it shook occasionally, it didn’t creak with strange noises, nor did any warning alarms blare through the ship.
The silence was so profound that if I were told being swallowed by the black hole was a dream, I might have believed it. I instinctively pinched my cheek.
Naturally, it hurt, and I didn’t wake up in the cockpit of a crappy transport ship.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 8 part 2
The necromancer’s grotesque form was not a blessing or even a curse—it was merely food for the dragon.
Diz felt no pity at this realization. What crossed her mind were her two companions. The black-purple core stone she had tasked with destruction was here. That meant Ur and the others had failed.
Had they been defeated, or had they died?
Diz naturally assumed the worst and was disappointed—not in them, but in herself for entrusting them with the task.… Read more

Chapter 1
“How much are you willing to pay for your employee, anyway?”
The cockpit of a civilian transport ship.
In a space narrowed to its absolute limit to maximize cargo capacity, three people were present.
One was me. A transport worker being worked to the bone by Ilmesia Transport for a measly monthly salary of 142,215 Potol.
The remaining two were a fat guy who had me tied up with an illegal laser gun pressed against me, and a skinny guy negotiating with my CEO, who was shown on the main monitor.… Read more

If you go north from the station for a while, there’s the Central Shopping Street that runs parallel to the coastline. This one has more of a tourist-oriented feel compared to the station-front shopping street, with a younger customer base.
The udon shop “Jinroku” in the back alleys there had the air of a hidden famous establishment. Although it was only hidden in atmosphere, since it was frequently featured in guidebooks, it was always crowded.
The table seats were full, but we were able to sit side by side at the counter seats for three.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 3 part 2
Whether Mizusaki’s joke had landed, or the pointless exchange had relaxed her guard, Kannabi Rei had her lips twisted on her straight face, shoulders shaking slightly. That girl who’d worn the black curtain was laughing.
Perhaps having given up, Kannabi Rei finally raised her face properly. From behind her bangs, sharp, upturned eyes that gave a much keener impression than I’d expected peeked out.
“I’m… Kannabi Rei… I joined the biology club. S-so… nice to meet you.”… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Epilogue
Epilogue
A gruesome scene of piled-up corpses stretched across the dining hall of Castle Lohengrin.
A long banquet table large enough to seat several dozen at once.
At one corner of it, the last remaining flame was about to flicker out.
“…T-Twice, not once but twice… Big Brother…!”
Plop.
Suzuha’s head slumped onto the table.
Clutched in both her hands were the legs of a snow crab.
––Observing this scene from a low table in the corner of the dining hall were two figures.… Read more
