“I have already sent a messenger to Litonia. The Hero will return soon.”
That a Demon Lord cannot be destroyed by anyone other than a Hero.
A Hero is a class that only a select few, a mere handful among humanity, can receive through a divine oracle.
Only those with the divine protection of that class can inflict fatal damage on a Demon Lord and end its life.
There is one Hero based in Tandem, currently dispatched to support the subjugation of a Demon Lord that appeared in the allied nation of Litonia.… Read more
How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 3 part 7
[“Even if they disappear… to me, they were still friends.”]
Shiranui’s words from earlier echoed in my mind.
……Honestly, that stung.
I knew better than anyone what it was like to be that idiot—the one who kept believing in people, only to be used over and over. But now that idiot had learned his lesson. He’d traded idealism for pragmatism.
Being honest, awkward, and blindly trusting others wasn’t justice.
If that path eventually led to ruin, I’d already learned it the hard way.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 2
And the following Monday, after touring all the clubs, we found ourselves at a café after school, both tilting our heads in puzzlement.
“Wasn’t today’s welcome event a bit weird?”
I nodded at Mizusaki’s observation. There had been several strange things indeed.
In deciding which club to join, resolving the discomfort we’d experienced was essential.
Club activities can potentially occupy most of high school life outside of academics. We needed to judge with our own clear eyes which club suited us.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 9
“Hah?”
Shizuku’s small mouth hung slightly open in disbelief as Cklares continued.
“You thought Sisel was just an ordinary, strong girl. But that’s not true.”
A misconception Shizuku held—one that Cklares had to correct.
“She wasn’t as strong as you believed. She suffered from the bullying. She was just forcing herself to act tough around you.”
“W-Wait a second!”
Shizuku raised her voice.
“Sisel… that’s…! Why are you telling me this now!? What’s your point!?”
“It means you’re a heartless, tearless, inhuman monster, Cram.”… Read more
Mastermind Behind the Scenes Volume 1 Chapter 1.5 part 1
Intermission: Daily Life Where Supernatural powers Exist
Magic and supernatural powers exist as a matter of course. Add to that having a textbook protagonist right nearby, and daily life as a mob character is vastly different from middle school days.
Even without getting caught up in incidents or trouble, there are many opportunities to feel the reality of living in a supernatural power society.
This time, I’d like to introduce a bit of my everyday life as Ordinary Student A, who is not the protagonist.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 9 part 2
“Middle Round battle—, match begin!!”
“–KYEAAAAUUU!!!!!!!!”
Immediately after the match start declaration, Seesaket quickly inhaled to expand his lungs to maximum capacity, strengthened his respiratory muscles and vocal cords, then expelled his voice at full power.
“……!! — !!”
The gust of wind ruffled Eliza’s combat outfit and hair from thirty meters away, and a crackling explosive sound like tearing air assaulted Eliza.
It was truly a surprise attack, a perfect ambush.
From his light equipment, Eliza had guessed he was the type to fight using speed as a weapon, and had been carefully watching his movements from the start to respond to swift attacks.… Read more
It Turned Into a Battlefield Volume 1 Chapter 2.6
Interlude: The Princess Prince’s Soliloquy
“To think I’d end up like this, huh.”
Just before starting my stream, I recalled the past.
Ever since I was little, people said I was like a boy.
In fact, back in elementary school, I used to play with the boys—tag, dodgeball, group games—I loved anything that involved running around with everyone. There were times when I almost believed I was a boy.
But after becoming a middle schooler, I gradually came to understand something.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 11 part 1
Matatabi Rui
TLNOTE : Matatabi = Catnip / Wandering
“Ugh…! Why am I even doing this…?!”
Utsurugi Rui was currently—gloriously—cornered.
In her dorm room on the upper floors of Prim-Libra’s Tenth Branch,
she stood before a full-length mirror she had barely ever used, comparing her usual outfit (a hoodie + shorts combo in her right hand) to an elaborate full-body ensemble (something she’d hardly ever worn) in her left.
—This is all that man’s fault…!… Read more
Misunderstood Villainess Volume 1 Chapter 7.5 part 2
“Their actions were… far too cruel. I tried to enjoy it somehow, but it was no good. How could anyone smile while beating defenseless women and children to death with all their might?”
“That’s impossible.”
“Yes, it’s impossible. …But a group of people who could do that was exactly what the mercenary organization [Hell Wolf] was.”
In the end, Ashley realized there that he was merely a [petty villain].
“However, it was then that I awakened to [Gift].… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 7 part 5
The magical core that Magica, who had repaired the dilapidated Dragon Fang Spear, had installed as its heart was a dubious piece of equipment in terms of safety. Ur had been using it knowing this, but it had never reacted like this before. It was pulsing intensely.
At the spear’s tip was the black-purple Core Magic Stone.
“—Who cares right now!?”
Something was clearly happening, but Ur discarded his thoughts. There was only one thing to do now.… Read more
