C-level magic student Volume 2  Prologue

Prologue
 

—Three Years Ago
 
Ichinose Shion was surrounded by several upperclassmen.
 
The location was behind the school building of Terrence Magic Academy, where Shion was enrolled at the time. In that deserted spot with no passersby, the upperclassmen glared sharply at him.
 
“The hell’s your problem? You protecting this guy?”
 
“Listen up, this ain’t violence. It’s justice. His bastard of a father, the vice mayor, embezzled our taxes—”
 
“So it’s only fair his son pays the price too, right?”… Read more

How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 4

As I watched puzzled, the girl quietly removed her hands, let out a small sigh, and murmured.
 
“……Guess I’m not scared after all, huh… me……”
 
Seems like she wants to be scared. Huh. I see. …What kind of feeling is that, anyway?
 
What would it take for someone to end up thinking like that? The more I dwell on it, the more curiously it pulls me in.
 
Shoulders slumping (?) at her own lack of intimidation, Shiranui talks to her reflection in the mirror.… Read more

My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 3

Flashback 一 About a year and a half earlier.
 
Utsurugi Rui was a Winged Guardians Excia candidate, attending the middle division of the training school.
 
Her grades were the best in the school’s history. She had never placed below first in either academics or combat training.
 
Her Lux ability, Telekinesis, was rated S in every category一suppression, mobility, range, precision, and endurance.
 
And above all一what made her truly special was her beauty.
 
As a symbol of peace一as an idol.… Read more

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

 
“You’re a knight, right? Stay here and protect this place.”
 
This place might not be safe either. Whispering so the evacuees wouldn’t hear, Ur furrowed his brow with a complicated expression.
 
“I’m technically a bronze-ranked adventurer. Don’t worry about me.”
 
Considering he’d only been an adventurer for a month, “technically” was a stretch, but he kept that to himself.
 
“Alright. But if it gets too dangerous, run. No one will blame you.”… Read more

Scientist for an Evil Organization Volume 1 Chapter 18 part 2

790: Hakase
 
I’m delighted that there are many who understand.
 
Sexy san says, “Ideally, I would be working while Big Bro-san is a househusband. Ah, it would be even better if Hakase starts a business and I become her secretary. I’m sure Hakase’s company would definitely be a white company (good working environment).”
 
A-ko: “I’m fine with being a working wife or a housewife. But I do want to spend time with my husband.”… Read more

How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 3

“School layout…? What are you talking about?”
 
“The northeast corner of the school. Near the second club building area – do you know it?”
 
Caught off guard by the sudden location description, I tilted my head as I answered.
 
“…If you’re saying it’s pretty far…”
 
“That’s understanding enough. Actually, there’s an old lodge there, and I’d like to ask you to run an errand there. Here’s the key. Please return it here when you’re done.”… Read more

Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 3 part 5

 
“Don’t worry about it. Keep your eyes on him instead.”
 
As Leia looks at her shoulder with a shocked expression, Rourke reassures her that it’s fine and directs her gaze toward Haunted.
 
“Oh my, you… I see. That person must’ve been too much of a hassle and let you go.”
 
Haunted slowly walks closer, his eyes shifting toward Leia.
 
“I actually wanted to face him one-on-one… but oh well.”
 
“…!”
 
Leia shivers slightly as Haunted glances at her, and he smiles at her reaction.… Read more

Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 2

Taking shelter from the sudden rain in a secluded place we had found by chance, we planned our next move.
 
“I froze Griffil Sea of Trees… came this way… We’re here now.”
 
“Our current location is this plain. It seems the terrain in this area has changed over the decades due to the influence of magic and demons. This hidden realm appears to have formed in the last few years. This map is only a rough overview, but…”
 
“It’s infinitely better than having nothing.… Read more

C-level magic student Volume 1  Chapter Epilogue

Epilogue
 

–A few hours before Alphonse blasted Kevin and the others away, turning back time a bit…
 
About ten minutes had passed since Alphonse had started crying during his conversation with Shion on the second floor of the cafeteria.
 
“–Well, I’ll be going then.”
 
After confirming that Alphonse had calmed down, Shion stood up from his seat, holding a tray with empty dishes.
 
“Y-Yeah…”
 
Alphonse replied to Shion somewhat bashfully, hesitantly glancing around.… Read more

Become the Mastermind Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 6

The elves had reasons they could not refuse.
 
Through trade with humans and other races, their living standards had risen incomparably higher than in the past.
 
But if they closed borders, they would lose that prosperous, convenient lifestyle.
 
To maintain their current living standards, the noble faction made an exception allowing trade with House Ornament, monopolizing the profits as part of the deal.
 
But…for Ornament, it was merely a stepping stone.
 
“With your death and internal strife, Sylvayu would temporarily cut ties with the outside world.… Read more
