The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 4

A cosplay maid outfit—flimsy fabric, cheap partywear,
 
the kind of joke costume you’d find at a discount store.
 
Completely impractical for actual service, it prioritized cuteness over function: a deep chest cutout, a miniskirt that barely covered her thighs, and other risqué elements.
 
By traditional standards, it was heresy to even call it a maid outfit.
 
Can such a thing be called maid clothes?
 
This deserves a call out!
 
It was a maid outfit.… Read more

My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 5 part 3

As I hesitated, she continued.
 
“Wouldn’t you like to set off fireworks? On the grandest stage—something that’ll overshadow even [Nega Messiah].”
 
“…………Outdo them?”
 
“Exactly.”
 
The recent incident where rampaged through the shopping mall remains fresh in memory.
 
To my irritation, their influence as the largest antisocial faction is substantial.
 
I had considered staging another performance soon, but accounting for their notoriety, I decided against it.
 
And at that very moment—an invitation from one of the world’s foremost merchants of death.… Read more

A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 1 part 1

Chapter 1: Common Sense of the Academy

Having received direct permission from Diagio, and furthermore being told by Balbrea, who serves as the academy director, that I could do as I pleased, I decided to first observe a beginner-level magic lecture. Incidentally, Rose remained at the royal castle, saying she was too busy with official duties to go to the academy.
 
Upon arriving at the academy, Strass and Eliza said they wanted to observe lectures on magic they were skilled at, while Court, Aile, and the other students from Fidic Academy expressed their desire to actually participate in the lectures.… Read more

Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 9

“Take this!!”
 
[k!?]
 
He threw it. The stone, hurled with force, cut through the air—but it veered slightly above the giant bat.
 
“Missed…!”
 
He had known it would be difficult. It was unreasonable to expect to hit a moving target on his first try, especially in such darkness. If only he had time to practice, but of course, that wasn’t an option.
 
The giant bat’s figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.
 
“Throwing wasn’t a bad choice.… Read more

Scientist for an Evil Organization Volume 1 Chapter 25 part 2

237: Anonymous Combatant
 
Idol: But you know, the executive Halvied is crazy handsome. You don’t see looks like that even among actors.
 
Comedian B: Well, I guess devilishly handsome guys are no good after all, eh?
 
Seems even entertainers think Hakase is a looker, huh.
 
238: Commentary Squad
 
Commentator: [He seems to be trying not to cause too much harm to the Lost Fairies, doesn’t he? This way of speaking, but… He’s a man, so I get the feeling he might be harboring improper feelings towards the pure flames Eres and the clean streams Fiona.… Read more

After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 2 Part 6

The first hunting site was a rocky mountain near the ducal estate.
 
Following the map’s markings, I scaled the sheer cliff face—and sure enough, a cockatrice was waiting at the top. The map’s accuracy was a lifesaver.
 
Peeking from behind a rock, I saw the cockatrice standing alone, unaware of my presence.
 
If I had to describe its appearance, it was like a giant, ugly chicken.
 
“Big Brother, can I hunt this one?”… Read more

Misunderstood Villainess Volume 1 Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Slave Merchant VS Lady Reite-sama!!!!

 
During teatime after breakfast.
 
“—Reite-Hungaria commands you! Servants, bring me a newspaper!”
 
[Yes, Reite-ojousama~~~~~!!!]
 
With a single command, dozens of servants came running, each carrying a newspaper.
 
N-no, I don’t need that many~
 
“One is enough, so go back…”
 
[Yes~!!!]
 
I took one newspaper from a random servant and sent them all away.
 
Even the gardener came rushing over—you people should do your jobs.… Read more

Become the Mastermind Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 1

Chapter One

“–Kurtz, let’s try reading this book today.”
 
Artesia held out a single book, perhaps having found it while browsing through the library.
 
This was around two months after Kurtz had come to the estate.
 
Kurtz had mastered reading and writing at a pace that surprised even himself, and Artesia, delighted as if it were her own achievement, recommended various books for him to read.
 
What she had recommended so far were educational books and encyclopedias meant for noble children, but what she brought that day was of a different nature than before.… Read more

You Can Become a Hero Volume 1 Chapter 2 Part 4

It seems Rin saw me when I defeated the bandit with “Spear of Ancient Wind.”
 
Honestly, since I learned magic from Rin, she might have felt something was off when I used “Spear of Ancient Wind.”
 
Rin said what bothered her was how fast I activated the magic, but that’s not actually it. Rin understands magic usage better than I do.
 
It’s just that my reflexes and physical strength made me faster, that’s all.… Read more

Misunderstood Villainess Volume 1 Prologue

Prologue — The Morning of Reite-Hungaria (Sixteen Years Old) Comes Early

“I, awaken──!”

Yes, my morning, the morning of Reite-Hungaria, comes early.

Before the stone-chicken basilisks at the quarry even begin to crow, I rise and begin my morning preparations all by myself.

I sit before my dressing table and run a comb through my proud, silky silver hair.

I do not allow the maids to assist me.

Why, you ask? Because just the other day, they got into a fistfight over the “right to assist with my morning preparations.”… Read more
