(It remains in fragments in my memory, but when I came to, I had been taken home by Naomi-san.)
Seeing me desperately trying to open the drawers of memory, Koyomin looked somewhat—no, quite—exasperated.
“Um, Kanako… we’re the parties involved.”
“W-well, the people involved are the ones who forget! You know, they say ‘it’s darkest under the lighthouse.'”
“If it was originally dark, there’d be no point in having a lighthouse… sigh“
After inserting one sigh, Koyomin picked up the documents.… Read more
Corpse King Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 3
“That corpse… is it a Greater Demon?”
“Yup, yup! Because my—this lowly fellow’s—role is hunting traitors!”
He stabbed the thing he called a Greater Demon’s corpse with his sword.
He looked at the thing, which would have looked like nothing more than a lump of meat if he hadn’t said otherwise, with eyes full of accomplishment.
“It seemed like they were looking for various things… but ‘Evil-Immediate-Slay,’ right!?”
“Traitors…”
“Yeah! It seemed like they were trying to do something using humans!”… Read more
Mob Who Died Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 2
Shortly before the carriage blew up.
On the trade route connecting Liselka and Tsiknok, two women stood in the way.
The woman with long hair the color of sunset wore knight’s armor and a sword at her waist. There was no visible crest indicating her lineage.
Beside her was a woman in clerical attire with hair the pale blue of a winter morning.
“You didn’t have to come along, Kairi.”
“Yes, yes.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 4 chapter 2 part 3
The cultural festival was almost over, and I was about to move to another venue to observe the presentations.
However, a familiar group walked toward me.
It was Middleton, the Rhea couple, Isaac-dono, Diagio-dono, and Grantz-dono. Furthermore, a little behind them was the figure of Lorette. All the key figures of the major powers, except for Ramsey, had headed straight toward me for some reason.
Feeling a premonition of a troublesome conversation, I raised one hand and opened my mouth.… Read more
Corpse King Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 2
The carriage carrying us arrived at a place where rubble was scattered about like an ancient ruin.
With the magical lights emitted by the Sleepless Kingdom, Shechem, visible in the distance, the carriage was blocked by debris and came to a halt.
“Good work.”
I stepped down from the carriage, grabbed the scruff of the man who had driven us, froze him, and shattered him.
Casting aside the shards of ice that had turned red, I began to explore the area with Nifl and the others.… Read more
Diary of Romantic Comedy Volume 1 Chapter 3 part 3
It seems everyone was deep in conversation while leaving me out of it, but since I’d stepped away from my seat at just the right moment due to a sudden need to use the restroom, I didn’t catch any of what was said. After I got back, I tried asking Ryuchi about it, and the answer I got was:
“It was about you, of course. And… a sort of oath, I suppose.”
An “oath”… meaning a “vow”… a “vow of love”… Following that flawless chain of logic, I tried asking whether joining the Sakakibara Harem might be an option, but that was turned down with a bright smile.… Read more

Chapter 3: The Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival
“I hereby declare the opening of the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival!”
Along with the opening declaration by the Archbishop of the Spiritism Religion, cheers resonated throughout the entire Holy City.
“…………”
The origins of the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival were said to be a dance dedicated to the good god Arumati, enshrined in this Holy City, and the spirits considered his messengers—in other words, a Kagura.… Read more

Chapter 4: The Knight
“Tch… Seriously, this isn’t worth the pay!”
“Stop whining! Just run!”
Several men, their soles stained with blood, panted heavily but showed no sign of stopping.
In the leather bags each of them carried were numerous stolen goods, stuffed to the point of bursting.
“Over here!”
“Oh! Saved at last!”
At the edge of the outskirts of the Sleepless Kingdom, a single carriage waited.
The one waving from the driver’s seat was one of their comrades, who had positioned the carriage exactly as planned.… Read more
So I’m Banishing Everyone Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 5
“Fuaa… Huh, where is this…?”
Retina woke up. Well, with all this noise, of course she’d wake up…
Homura froze with a dumbfounded expression.
I looked up at the heavens. Ah, Mr. Ceiling, we meet again…
Ignoring my escape from reality, Homura recovered from her freeze faster than expected.
“W-W-Wha!? What is this, who are you!?”
“Ue…? …Oh, Adem-sama? Kyaa.”
Retina, noticing me beside her, looked at my upper body and let out a short scream.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 12 part 2
Though cheers loud enough to shake the air were echoing, to Shion they sounded as if he were underwater.
His vision was hazy, and his thoughts were vague.
“(Did I win…? I…)”
When he straightened his upper body and looked up toward the opposite side of the stands, he could see letters indicating his victory floating on the large black board.
“(I see… I won…)”
Confirming his victory in his dim consciousness, he simply showed a quietly relieved expression.… Read more
