Chapter 27: The things we worry about each other
420: Anonymous Combatant
What on earth happened…
421: Anonymous Combatant
I don’t know. But it’s certain that Fiona asked Hakase out on a date.
422: Anonymous Combatant
What’s a date in the first place? (Philosophy)
423: Hakase (Years without girlfriend = age)
That’s what I want to know most.
424: Anonymous Combatant
How come you’re good-looking but not popular?
425: Hakase
I respected my dad, but others didn’t.… Read more
“Ahh… that feels good.”
The words slipped from my mouth as I soaked in the bath, sinking into the warmth.
Today was exhausting. Honestly, it was the most tired I’d felt since becoming a high school student. And it was all because of him — Kanbara Yūma-kun.
Talking about the past made me remember things I’d rather forget.
Back in elementary school, I was a plain, gloomy girl. I loved anime and manga, wasn’t good at talking, and had zero social skills.… Read more
And so, I began my evil stroll with this clueless guy in tow.
First, I set my sights on three children playing in an alley.
“Weak and fragile little children~!”
[Ah, it’s Reite-sama!]
The three kids come swarming over.
Ah, how ridiculous. Normally, at their age, they shouldn’t know about the world’s evils, yet the children of this territory have already submitted to my existence.
To such young children, I’ll mercilessly give orders!… Read more
With the monsters defeated, everyone should be relieved, but the atmosphere is oddly tense. This is all because of my presence.
I’m elated that I managed to fight without Iaido. But I soon notice something off about the air.
──What’s going on?
The unfamiliar adventurers, who I thought were guarding the students, remain in combat stance even after the battle ends. Their intense fighting spirit is directed at me.
Unfamiliar adventurers……. Finally, it dawns on me.… Read more
“No problem. I shall show you in practice.”
When I answered thus, perhaps not expecting me to reveal my abilities so easily, Ord looked bewildered but told me to go out to the courtyard. However, no matter how spacious it was, using magic in the courtyard might destroy various facilities.
I requested to use magic on the highway instead.
When we went out to the highway, the viscount house’s knights and mage corps lined up surrounding Ord.… Read more
“That’s it?”
Kay, gazing at the towering block of ice before him like a tombstone, finally ceased his assault. It wasn’t out of arrogance or a belief that he had defeated Rourke.
Rather, his motivation for the match was waning.
“I thought it’d be a bit more interesting……”
Originally, due to his family background, Kay had aspired to be a musician rather than a spirit master.
However, he attended the academy as a spirit master because his parents, valuing his talent, had strongly persuaded him to do so.… Read more
“Really… you push yourself too hard, Lonzder.”
“Shut… up…! You could’ve helped sooner! And don’t use 《ROAR》 in an underground space like this—it’s gonna collapse again!”
“Given all the explosions, it hardly matters now.”
Sighing, Elteel stepped back from Lonzder’s side.
Lonzder staggered to her feet, wincing.
“Damn, that really hurts…”
“Can you still fight?”
“No choice but to.”
Exchanging weary glances, the two turned their attention forward—
Whisper stood, surrounded by flames. Unsteady, but still combat-ready.… Read more
Shion was acutely aware of his own skill in reading people一his ability to discern truths through conversation and insight surpassed most.
That was precisely why he avoided using it on family, friends, and mentors.
Unless unintentional, digging into someone’s hidden feelings against their will was, to him, a vulgar breach of trust and respect.
(…Damn it. Idiot…)
But this time, he’d done it almost unconsciously一prodding Restia, testing her reaction to confirm his suspicions.… Read more
“Eh? Beauty?”
[Really!? A high school girl is asking me for beauty advice!? No, this is delightful!]
(A-amazing, Koyomin.)
She instantly came up with insincere flattery and opened the other person’s heart── though if she opens that ample bosom any more, things could get problematic. Those curves might burst free.
She’s not exposing anything, but Adeno-san is extremely pleased.
She said “Standing around talking isn’t ideal” and guided us to the sofa in the entrance, even with coffee included.… Read more
I had to expand my awareness—diffuse my focus.
The deadly arcs advanced slowly, inexorably.
Priority order: lower right, upper left, upper right.
Assessed. Then concentrated on just one swing.
First—lower right.
Simple. A kick off the ground would evade it.
But of course, she anticipated that. The blade from upper left came next.
I responded by—fully extending my arm.
Rotational slashes favor cleaving over thrusting.
Which also meant there would be moments when the hilt faced me.… Read more
