“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
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 3
“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
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 12
“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
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 5 part 2
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
Mind-Reading Detective Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 9
“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
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 2
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
How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 8

And so, we finally made it to school.
“Haaah… Man, I’m exhausted…!”
“Y-yeah… Running nonstop from the station was way farther than I thought… huff…”
Both Shiranui and I were pretty winded, but at least we weren’t late.
The rule was to gather five minutes early. Not that I needed to be here, but since things turned out this way, I was in too deep to back out now. I had some responsibility for dragging her along, so I figured I’d see this through to the end.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 5 part 4
“Nina!”
“Laura!”
The woman who seemed to be her partner arrived at the place where Ur had managed to rescue the hostage.
Seeing Shizuku accompanying her, it seemed the rescue had been successful. Her appearance was quite rough, but she didn’t seem to be injured.
“Can you move!?”
“Y, yes. I was saved. And the healing potion……!”
“Sir Ur, you were reckless.”
It seemed they had witnessed him jumping off the rooftop.… Read more
Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 5
A dazzling, leaden warhammer.
“CRUUUSH IIIIT!! HAMMER BLAST, OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!”*
A blow beyond reason, annihilating the demon’s very existence.
The crushing impact reverberated to the bone—overkill so blatant even a layman could tell the demon stood no chance.
The shockwave physically rattled the city before, predictably, reducing the giant to rubble.
“…Was that… Lady Irena?”
Forcing her legs to keep moving, Asha’s mind reeled.
Meanwhile, Hyoka reacted not to the spectacle—
—but to the name.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 3 Chapter 3 Part 2

The moment Toko-san arrived, I was summoned immediately for some reason.
“Hey, Suzuha-nii, what the hell is going on here!?”
“……Meaning?”
“Three countries we don’t even have diplomatic relations with suddenly requested to become our vassals!”
“Huh?”
Not understanding, I asked for details.
Apparently, Toko-san had been troubled by three minor nations.
Though small in territory, they were home to influential tribes or rare specialty goods, making them targets of repeated diplomatic overtures by past kings—all of which were flatly rejected.… Read more
