“Well, the reason I’ve gathered everyone is nothing else. My father’s will, which should have been in the safe, is missing.”
“Missing… oh, is that true, Eijiro-chan?”
Mukashino-san put his hand on his shoulder.
Eijiro-san nodded weakly.
“Yes, and you see, losing the will right after inheriting my father’s position would look bad, so…”
“Ahh, I see. You called a detective because you don’t want to file a police report. That’s a wise decision.”
With a meaningful smile, Mukashino-san looked at us intently.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 10
As Elteel leaped, Lonzder’s choice was simple.
“———”
She jumped onto the hound’s back.
Grabbing the belt around the beast’s neck with her right hand, she hooked her boots around its legs.
Then, using [Unsullied gem Anvil Maiden]’s mass manipulation, she lightened her weight to near-zero.
Simultaneously, the blood flung by the bomber carved a horizontal line across the floor.
Like a boundary separating the two from the bomber the instant after their leap.
By this point, Lonzder had already gauged the explosion’s range to some extent.… Read more
How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 5
—Time to go home.
Just as I solidified that decision, my neighbor at the next desk—Kimiya—stood up.
“Ah, Kimiya. Could you—”
“…Muu.”
When I called out to her, Kimiya turned toward me with a distinctly displeased pout—
an unusual expression for her, who was always smiling. Had I done something to upset her?
For just a moment, I felt uneasy, but Kimiya quickly returned to her usual self.
“What is it, Sou-san?”
“Ah, well, I wanted to talk, but more importantly, you just now—”
“I’m fine.”… Read more
Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 1
Chapter 4: The Dull-Colored Dominion Hammer
Not long after Irene left the house, a group of carriages arrived at the Iron noble family, their rumbling wheels shaking the ground.
Led by the Fifth Princess of the Griffil Holy Kingdom, the procession bore the sacred emblem as they passed through the earl’s gate.
Aasha, guiding her wide-eyed companions—unaccustomed to such Western-style mansions unseen in modern Japan—stepped through the opened doors of the estate.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 5 part 3
Carefully navigating through the crowd, Rourke’s gaze fell on a girl in a robe.
Her face was hidden by her hood, but the blonde hair peeking out from under it was beautiful, making it easy to imagine she was quite stunning.
“……Ah.”
Out of natural curiosity, Rourke wondered what she looked like, but he didn’t think to check.
As he walked past her, the girl turned around and muttered something, causing Rourke to turn back as well.… Read more
Become the Mastermind Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 3
Trakia-Blaskas was Feiyu’s grandfather and, in the past, as head of the Blaskas family, he had also handled diplomacy with the adjacent demi-human nations, as well as the Empire and northern countries.
Before becoming head of the family, Trakia had been dispatched to Felmund on his father’s orders just after reaching the age of just over one hundred, which for an elf corresponded to being a young adult.
That had been a polite way of getting rid of a troublesome person, as he wrote in his own records.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 2
The magic tome that should have been in Alphonse’s hands had somehow found its way into Lloyd’s grasp.
“……Hey…… Can I have that back, Lloyd?”
“Oh, sure. It’s yours, right? I’ll give it back. Here—come and take it.”
With a mocking grin, Lloyd held the book forward. Alphonse stepped closer, reaching for it.
…Or at least, he tried to.
The moment Alphonse’s fingers were about to close around the book, they sliced through empty air.
“What’s wrong?… Read more
The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 5
A single bead of sweat rolled down Hakua’s forehead.
With a tearful glare, she cursed:
“You monster! Devil! Lewd maid!”
“Hehe〜 Being insulted by a beauty… feels like a reward〜”
Amid their childish squabble, Nanao pressed on:
“Then, Izumi-kun shall hug the king〜♡”
“STOP TARGETING ME!”
Her persistence was unmatched.
The “volunteer-based” king system proved chaotic. Sometimes, tradition exists for a reason.
Meina shrugged.
“Well, I guess we have no choice〜.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 5 part 4
But [Izayoi] laughed at my expectations.
She crossed her blades, deflecting the strike with a slippery twist—
Bending her body like a contortionist, she barely avoided the sword—
And melted back into the shadows before hitting the ground.
“Tch…!”
Rui clicked her tongue in frustration. Even if she’d failed to land a hit, she’d still protected the children when no one else could—
Wait.
For [Utsurugi Rui], missing that strike was unthinkable.
—She’s still not at full strength…!… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 9
Norman found it amusing how Lonzder was squinting at Elteel.
Since yesterday—or perhaps after their recent bath—something between the two seemed to have shifted.
Even if only slightly, it made Norman happy.
“Well then, Lonzder-san, El. We’ve identified their weapons and traits. We’ve grasped the situation.”
“All that’s left is to take down Whisper. The question is where he is now. I didn’t expect much, but from what we just heard, it’s unlikely he died in the collapse.”… Read more
