The Exiled Merchant Volume 1 Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Raiga, the Beast King
 

 
The hundreds of volunteers Trao had gathered for the Demon King subjugation gradually dropped out during their journey to the Fairy Lake. Now, only slightly over a hundred chosen ones remained.
 
These became Trao’s hero unit.
 
The legendary swords, shields, and armor they had prepared were prioritized for the vanguard, making their equipment impregnable.
 
Trao and Rio also planned to don this gear.
 
“Now, we just wait for the right time,”
 
Trao said as they continued training the hero unit in a secret location.… Read more

Chapter 4: Strategies for the Gem Golem

 
The Labyrinth of Greed enters its [active period] every few months.
 

 
The labyrinth is alive.
 
This is a phrase often used by adventurers. Labyrinths that appear in this world come in various forms: [cave-type], [layered-type], [environment-integrated type], but they all undergo periodic changes.
 
The passageways, the positions and types of monsters, their numbers, even the traps and the environment itself change in various ways.… Read more

The price of fish has significantly increased. Vegetables remain consistently expensive. 
 
The nation is immersed in a major war, with reports of continuous victories by our country’s military. 
 
I observe the merchants. Smiling merchants, pale-faced merchants, those secretly preparing to flee… Their attitudes speak louder than words. 
 
Observing the atmosphere in the capital, I eventually came to a conclusion. 
 
For today’s dinner, it’s tempura soba. … Read more

C-level magic student Volume 1  Chapter 4 part 5

 
“Huh… A student? Just… a regular one?”
 
“Yeah, that’s right. Everything I said before was a lie.”
 
“Hmph… well, whatever. It doesn’t really matter.”
 
Though she seemed a bit confused by Shion’s response, she quickly brushed it off with a “If you say so, then I guess that’s how it is.”
 
“Well then, Shion. Thanks for today. I guess I’ll give you a little bit of my gratitude.”
 
With those words, the girl quickly turned on her heel and walked away into the street without looking back.… Read more

My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 1 Chapter 2.5

Interlude: The Castle of Justice and the Den of Evil
 

 
“I’m sorry, Hina.”
 
“?”
 
Rui Amaken, who had returned to the 10th Branch of [White Scales of Cyclic Protection : Prim Libra], dropped her shoulders in front of her best friend.
 
Her best friend, Hinata, who had received the apology, tilted her head in confusion.
 
A large amount of food was laid out before her as she sat in a chair in the cafeteria.… Read more

The Exiled Merchant Volume 1 Chapter 10 part 2

The battle between the Griffin and the participants lasted long, but with our superior numbers, even this formidable magical beast eventually succumbed.
 
The participants raised a victory cry after defeating the powerful enemy.
 
Amidst this, Trao approached the knight who had bravely fought the Griffin first.
 
The knight, thinking he would be praised, smiled with a flushed face.
 
“I’m sorry, but you’re disqualified,”
 
Trao told the knight matter-of-factly.
 
“Why?! I fought that Griffin on equal terms!”… Read more

Spirit Master Who Is Volume 1 Chapter 3 part 6

 
“Ah, yeah. I’m a little tired, but otherwise fine.”
 
“Good.”
 
Lily murmured with relief at my response. Her face was as expressionless as ever, but it seems she was worried about me. With her help, I sat up and looked around.
 
It looked like I was on top of a large wooden structure resembling a ship. When I looked up, I saw the Salamander holding onto the wood extending from the sides of the ship, like the framework of a roof, and carrying us.… Read more

“Do it, Sigrum!”
 
“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee!”
 
Responding to my command, Sigrum swooped down from above at high speed and rammed the evil spirit’s barrier with his massive body.
 
“Ooohh!?”
 
As Sigrum’s attack caused the evil spirit to falter, the cracks on the barrier spread rapidly. Finally, with a sound like shattering glass, the evil spirit’s defense was completely destroyed.
 
Shocked and disoriented, the evil spirit froze for a moment when its prized shield was broken. It was a natural reaction for any creature with combat abilities to freeze when their best defense was suddenly taken down.… Read more

Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 1  Chapter 3 part 4

“We were a group driven by the unending desire to kill the monsters that had slaughtered our families and friends. Everyone felt that way.”
 
Monsters were enemies of humanity. There were no exceptions. They burned, cursed, and killed humans with overwhelming violence. Many people harbored hatred towards monsters.
 
“We could have given up on revenge. We could have been satisfied and deceived ourselves at some point. But we didn’t. That’s why we could kill the ‘worst fiend’ in the depths of Greed, even at the cost of all our comrades and families.”… Read more

Spirit Master Who Is Volume 1 Chapter 3 part 4

 
As I rotated my body, I unleashed another wind slash towards its unprotected back where no barrier was deployed. Although I managed to disrupt its posture, its body seemed quite tough as well, showing no signs of injury. It seemed that to damage this evil spirit, I’d need to land a direct hit with my wind blade. But could I pull it off?
 
As I pondered this, the surrounding walls cracked loudly, and parts of the walls, cut into rectangles, came flying at me.… Read more
