“[Draw-Slashing Flash]”
“!?”
A devastating draw that flashed in an instant. A massive explosion erupted.
This was absolutely incomparable to before. The moment the prince’s hand wavered slightly, Ashley and dozens of meters behind him were blown to smithereens. An explosive sound echoed through the [Demon Forest].
“Guuuuu!?”
Something pierced through the rising dust clouds. It was Ashley with an agonized expression.
Again he seemed to have nullified the impact, but no.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 9
The Decoy Doll
Its full designation was:
Emergency Security Use – Simplified Replica-Type Artificial Doll 〈Dimension-Coreless-Interface Mk-VII〉.
Incidentally, “Tsukumo” had slapped on this fancy-sounding name upon completion—there was no deeper meaning. It was just because it sounded cool.
Since “Dimension~” was too long, it was shortened to its initials, earning the nickname:
〈Decoy-kun – Mark Seven, Nameless Type〉.
This nickname was used so often in daily life that Tsukumo had already forgotten its official designation.
Now, let’s briefly explain Decoy-kun’s nature.… Read more
You Can Become a Hero Volume 1 Chapter 6 Part 4
(He’s giving me advice, I can tell he’s a kind person. Really mysterious. This person probably isn’t nervous at all. There really are all kinds of people… there’s even a descendant of the hero.)
Just as Will was remembering Tamika, whom he had met at the hero’s statue that morning, a loud voice rang out at that exact moment.
“—What did you say!? You brat!”
“I only said what was natural.”
The restaurant fell silent.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 7 part 3
Magic is a miracle granted equally to all, regardless of race or status.
Who was it that had told Laura that?
The [Magic Stones] obtained by defeating monsters were used in many magical infrastructures. But their power was far from replacing the roles of the priests who resided in the temples. They could create fire, summon wind, purify water, and enrich the land.
However, large-scale magic capable of nurturing the sustenance for all humans living in the city-states was still beyond humanity’s reach.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 9 part 2
“Currently, our Court-Highland has adopted Fidic Academy’s methods, implementing advancement based on ability and graduation based on final presentation results, but somehow the overall skill of our mages hasn’t improved. How are your countries handling this?”
“In terms of mage ability, we have some outstanding individuals. However, that’s largely due to talent. Carvan Kingdom has many unique magics, but aren’t those also research results by a very small number of talented individuals?”
“That’s true. Certainly, new magic creators appear every year, but it’s by the same ten or so people.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 9 part 1
Chapter 9: Reception Party
In the evening, I was called to attend a reception with representatives from various countries at Glen’s request. Since I had interrupted Grants earlier in the day when he was trying to say something, I couldn’t easily refuse.
When I went to the central plaza to watch the senior faculty presentation, Glen and the others were already gathered there. Had they really been giving cultural festival tours all day long?
“Oh, Aoi-kun!”… Read more
Mind-Reading Detective Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 16
The new president Eijirō looked straight at the press corps.
“From when I started working under my father, I suspected that Logic was conspiring with certain politicians and police to recommend accounting fraud to some clients. The fact that I couldn’t pursue this and stop it makes me equally guilty with my father.”
Eijirō-san’s eyes moistened. His expression showed a complex mix of justice, responsibility, and love for his father.
“My father was a kind-hearted man.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 4 Part 2
“…Why would those people want to come to such a remote place…?”
When Ayano murmured this absentmindedly, the young bureaucrat replied matter-of-factly:
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? They wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of person the Frontier Margrave is.”
“Ah—”
That’s right, Ayano belatedly remembered.
She, too, had once visited him for that very reason.
Back then, she never imagined she’d end up buried in paperwork like this—
“…Yes.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 3 Prologue
Prologue
The story of my battle in the Degree Battle—where I, for likely the first time in the history of Utrea Academy, fought by commanding an Evil Spirit—spread throughout the entire academy in the blink of an eye. The whole school was buzzing with the topic.
Everywhere I went, I was constantly called out to and interrogated about every little detail, true or otherwise.
“I knew you were lying when you said you didn’t have one!”… Read more
The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 2 Epilogue part 3 + Afterword
The master nearly teared up at her growth. The timid girl he once knew was gone.
(Heh. Hard to believe I’m the same man who abandoned his family for work. Guess I’ve mellowed…)
Normally, meddling in someone’s love life was unforgivable. Especially when the target was a girl young enough to be his granddaughter. His soul was definitely hell-bound.
But even so—!
For Hitomi, whom he trusted like family…
For her fleeting love, which reminded him so much of the daughter his ex-wife took away—He swore he’d make it happen.… Read more
