“Kyaaaaa!! Someone—!? My husband suddenly collapsed!!”
One of the customers, a woman, suddenly started shouting loudly. That itself isn’t rare or anything, so I approached to handle it as usual, and the man who had been eating with that woman had lost consciousness. Thinking that maybe another real exploding rice ball had gone off, I approached the man and was about to touch his body when my hand was grabbed and stopped.
“Everyone, please don’t move from where you are.… Read more
“Hey, did you hear?”
“Yeah, I already placed my bet.”
“We got lucky. To think the [Disciple of Corpses] would be here…”
“Idiot! Don’t say the name!”
“S-sorry…”
An unusual atmosphere permeated the Sleepless City Tokijo (Fighting Arena).
Everyone behaved distantly toward others while secretly laughing among their own groups.
[The Disciple of Corpses].
That was the name of an information broker whose resourcefulness was known worldwide.
Elusive and widespread.
A sage sometimes called the “Apostle of God” due to the accuracy of her information.… Read more
Final Chapter
Evil lurks underground.
To escape the radiance of the sun god Zeuradia, they flee to places where the sun’s light cannot reach.
In this world, there exists a saying like that. And in that sense, the place where “she” resides perfectly fits that proverb. It was a room deep in the dark, underground.
Lined up and scattered around were nothing but ominous magical tools and the remnants of experiments.
There were no traces of human life here.… Read more
Normally I’d give in to the pressure and run away, but unfortunately for her, today I’m a bit different.
“Sorry, little sister. I’m coming through.”
“Eh—”
I forcefully pushed past Ayane and entered the classroom.
I headed toward the seat where my target girl sat.
No one was nearby. The girl sitting in the window seat in the last row was looking outside with a bored expression. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking from her face at all.… Read more
“Hmm… the brain and heart are obviously ‘weak spots’… ah, I can see small fuzzy things in different parts of each one. It looks like light is converging toward them from somewhere.”
My eyes sense a special force field.
They’re quite small compared to their giant bodies, making them hard to detect, but as I concentrate more…
“—I can see them. The cyclops in the middle has a fuzz about five centimeters to the left of his navel, the right one has it dead center in his solar plexus, and the left one has it about thirty centimeters above his right knee.”… Read more
“……Nifl.”
“Yes.”
“Come here.”
“……Pardon?”
Tilting her head in confusion, Nifl hesitantly stepped toward me. I placed both hands on her head and gave it a firm, vigorous rub. While stroking her silky hair, I cupped her face near her ears.
“Good girl! Good girl, good girl! As expected of Nifl!”
“……!”
As I kept patting Nifl’s head, I told them about reuniting with Zeno at the Senoskar Company, that we had a lead on the auction, and that I’d accepted Zeno’s request to investigate the nightmare incident.… Read more
When work ended, we took the gondola back to the center of the territorial capital.
Merchants had set up stalls there, specifically targeting workers on their way home.
By the way, most of the stalls sold meat or alcohol—because that’s what you want after physical labor.
Other than that, there were maybe a few game or gambling stalls.
“Brother, Brother, can I try that stall?”
“Let’s see… ‘Strength wanted’? Entry fee: one copper coin; beat him in arm wrestling and get five silver coins…?… Read more
On a secluded island at the northern tip of the continent, severed from the mainland of Xenoma. The edge of the world.
In a room within a towering ancient castle, a boy stared listlessly at the ceiling, having nothing better to do.
“I’m so bored… Hey, Lyara.”
“……Nn.”
He called out to the girl who shared his daily life, but she remained absorbed in a massive tome atop her bedding.
Unlike him, she had found a way to skillfully stave off the boredom.… Read more
“Well, they’re future threats, so to speak. Right now they’re nothing more than worthless pebbles.”
Tamika and Will might truly be future hope. But that’s not now. Now they’re just young upstarts, so they can’t win.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky… and they would never clear.
“Whether we’re pebbles or not, try us!”
“Let’s go!”
Tamika and Will charged forward. Tamika swung her flame sword down from above. Will supported from behind, swinging upward from below, and the two small lights headed toward the Four Heavenly King, but… they were caught between his fingertips like grasping flying insects.… Read more
“Well, fine, I get the gist of it. …Come to think of it, I forgot to mention this back at the guild, but my classes cost money.”
Actually, I was planning to mention it, but the receptionist sitting next to me looked like she’d be annoying about it if I brought up money, so I didn’t.
If I had brought up fees right there, Satoria definitely would have complained endlessly.
“I don’t have much on me… would this be enough?”… Read more
