“This [Philosopher’s Stone] has the property of recording and storing specific magical power, then generating magical power that reproduces it. If we record and store the family heads’ magical power with this, the problem will be resolved.”
“…Hmm, an application of the magical inheritance performed by Eisenhud.”
“Yes. However, currently it’s extremely difficult to make contact with the Six Ducal Houses, particularly the family heads, and if we fall into a situation where we must take action, we’ll likely be crushed by overwhelming military force.”… Read more
It Turned Into a Battlefield Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 5
“Ah, Kanbara-kun, you pervert.”
“Sorry!”
It’s because you pressed against me.
That’s what I said in my heart, but all the real me could do was apologize while flustered. Pathetic, even to myself.
While holding her chest with her hand, Kazama looked at me with half-lidded eyes.
“That was on purpose, wasn’t it?”
“No, it was an accident!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
I forgot we were in the middle of class and raised my voice.… Read more
The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 7
(Perhaps… I misjudged Nanase Nanao.)
She’d seen her as a villainess—a homewrecker who’d swooped in to steal Izumi away.
But now, that rigid image was melting away, like ice under warm sunlight—
“Well, I’ll still win in the end, though~”
“…………”
—Only for that sunlight to ignite into hellfire.
Hakua’s smile darkened as her eye twitched.
“Ugh, hehe~. Nanase-san, you’re quite the joker, aren’t you?”
“Hakua-san. For my wedding with Izumi-kun, I’ll be counting on you to prepare the most delicious wedding cake, alright?”… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 3
Actually, was she about to say “Mama” just now?
Looking at her fingertips holding the lunch box, her nails are neatly trimmed. I wonder if she does martial arts or swimming.
…No good, I’m unconsciously observing her. I continue the conversation to sound natural.
“Well, if someone can make it for you, that’s fine, isn’t it? Both my parents work in Tokyo and leave early in the morning. So I prepare things myself.”
“Oh! I see!… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 2 part 2
“Excuse me. I’ve brought the guests.”
Taking one step inside and announcing this, Louis stepped aside to the side of the door as if to clear the way.
Then, a spacious room came into view. In the front, there was a pair of large sofas with a low table in the middle. Beyond that was a simple-designed desk with a chair with a large backrest. A middle-aged man sat alone in that chair.
He was a somewhat plump man with brown hair parted in the middle.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 2
“A genius-level discovery?”
“Yeah. An incredibly miraculous commonality between you, Delta, and Iwama-san. Want to know?”
I didn’t particularly want to know, but Mizusaki wanted to talk about it. I jutted my chin to prompt him.
“First, recall the origin of the surname Delta.”
“Well, my actual surname is Izuta, though.”
Delta is a nickname stemming from a certain incident in middle school. There’s no historical background of my ancestors living in the Mississippi Delta or anything.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 1
Chapter 6: True Strength
The testing period had come to an end.
Normally, most students would be basking in the relief of being freed from the pressure of exams, heading to the markets or theaters to refresh themselves in their own ways.
But today was different.
A large number of students made their way to the coliseum. The stands were, of course, filled to the brim with students, and even outside the coliseum, many gathered to watch the match through projections created by spirits.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 1
Chapter 1: The Domain Cut Out by Light Pink
Spring is such a frivolous season.
Just when you think lush greenery has suddenly sprung forth from a world that had been dried brown throughout winter, flowers begin popping open here and there. It’s as if the earth’s vitality, suppressed by frost, can no longer contain itself the moment it detects the north wind relenting and comes gushing out.
The earliest bloomer is, of course, the plum blossom.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 3
“(Tch, he’s still not getting hit…!?)”
As expected, Lloyd’s attacks failed to land on Shion. As his mana rapidly dwindled, Lloyd began to panic—
“—Hey, you’d better watch out.”
“Hah!?”
“Look down at your feet. …Your shoelace is untied.”
“What the—!?”
Just like the plate earlier, Lloyd reflexively glanced down, thinking his shoelace had been undone without him noticing.
…But Lloyd’s shoes used buckle-fastened straps—there were no laces to begin with.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Prologue
Prologue: The End of Our Third-Year Summer
Come to think of it, youth is something like a well-crafted mystery novel.
For those of us caught in the midst of it, we can’t even clearly understand what we’re experiencing.
Only after everything ends, when it’s too late to take anything back, does the full picture finally come into view.
“We were such idiots back then, but man, that was fun, wasn’t it?” — looking back while saying things like that, people can finally recognize it clearly as youth for the first time.… Read more
