511 – The Swordmaster on the Baseball Field

What would the Boos do?

Kick Nekota flying with a single strike? Leap clean over his head? Or unleash that fearsome blade technique that once shook all of Tokyo?

The Kendo Club members were brimming with anticipation.

They knew full well that the Boos would never be stopped by someone like Nekota—but how he would deal with him was impossible to guess.

Kyousuke had far too many ways of handling this situation.

Even the Soccer Club and Track Club, hanging around ...

Chapter 148: Kiyomizu-dera, Omikuji

By the time the bus arrived, it was already quite late.

So after quickly unpacking their luggage, there were no more planned activities for the day.

After finishing a phone call with Yuusuke Niijima, Aoki Kei headed back downstairs to join the group for dinner.

Once dinner was over, they returned to the hotel.

Hiratsuka-sensei, citing the reason that it was their first night here, decided not to allow any free time for wandering around.

Back in his hotel room, Ao...

Chapter 147: News About the Music Industry During the School Trip

After the room assignments were done and all the room keys were handed out, Hiratsuka-sensei clapped her hands to get everyone’s attention and instructed the students to head to their rooms to drop off their luggage.

Most of Aoki Kei's classmates went upstairs in pairs or groups, but since he had a room to himself, he made his way up to the third floor alone, carrying his bag.

He swiped his keycard, entered the room, and began unpacking.

Once everything he needed was set u...

Chapter 310 — Powerless Fury

The void rippled like water, forming a swirling vortex the size of a doorway. Through it, faint, hazy outlines could just barely be seen.

“Rozaliya, are we really supposed to be doing this?”

Liliya’s young face showed a trace of unease as she glanced at her sister, who was skipping ahead cheerfully. “Let’s save this area for later exploration.”

“Eh?!” Rozaliya let out a cry of disappointment.

Her lively expression immediately dimmed, but deep down she a...

Chapter 309 – Rozaliya and Liliya

The sea breeze swept past, carrying with it the occasional cry of seagulls circling in the sky, the chill spreading through the air.

Raven shot a sideways glance at Gray Serpent, who stood as motionless as a robot, and frowned slightly.

“Are you sure Cocolia won’t betray us?”

“She betrayed Anti-Entropy without hesitation. When the time comes, betraying World Serpent will be just as easy for her.”

Though World Serpent had formed an alliance with Cocolia when s...

Chapter 308 – Go Find Something Useful to Do

After finishing breakfast in cheerful spirits, the mood in the dorm quickly turned… odd.

Everyone’s expressions varied—some sneered, some looked surprised, some indifferent, and some just wanted to watch the show.

All eyes were fixed on the blond, blue-eyed man wearing an almost overly gentlemanly smile.

“Good morning, my dear friend. I wonder—what plans do you have for the day?”

Anyone who truly knew him would have been stunned into disbelief by this scene...

510 — Nowhere to Hide, the Invincible Hojou

It was about to happen!!

Every pair of eyes from the Kendo Club and Baseball Club locked onto the boy gripping the bat.

Nobody doubted whether Kyousuke could hit the ball.

His figure stood tall and unshakable like a stone cliff, like a master swordsman of legend.

Even the pitcher, Fujikawa Masatake, found himself wondering just what kind of hit Hojou would unleash.

Taniya Ryuya, acting as umpire, had already braced himself to shout and cheer.

Amid everyone�...

509 – Killer Baseball, It’s Just a Game

In almost every anime set in high school, baseball makes an appearance sooner or later.

Kids can be found playing pick-up games of baseball on any vacant lot.

At that age, they don’t even fully grasp what a nation is, much less harbor some slavish admiration for foreign countries.

In this abstract era, in a country as bizarre as Japan, anything can become a trend.

But whether that trend fades like a passing breeze or endures for decades depends on its intrinsic value...

Chapter 146: School Trip!

October 24th. Clear skies, with a mild autumn breeze.

After finishing his morning run, Aoki picked up breakfast from a shop he'd only been to three times before.

As he stepped outside with his food, he paused at the door, inhaling the crisp morning air.

Autumn air had a refreshing chill to it—clear, invigorating, comfortable in a way that winter’s freezing temperatures couldn’t quite match.

He stood for a moment, watching the cherry tree by the door swaying gentl...

Chapter 145: Just One Step Away from the School Trip

Kita suddenly realized—

The chopsticks she was using… were the same ones she'd just used to feed Aoki.

Her movements immediately became awkward and careful, her hands stiff with tension.

Sneaking a guilty glance at him, her eyes met his perfectly.

They stared at each other for a moment.

Aoki blinked.

He had been planning to gently remind her—but now that she’d already eaten with them, what was the point?

Sharing food like this… it’s not th...

Chapter 307 – Kurumi-chan, Forced Beyond Human Limits

Hearing Mei’s soft murmur, Nagami’s brow twitched ever so slightly.

Then, as if waking from a dream, he slowly sat up, rubbing his drowsy eyes.

“Eh, Mei… what are you doing here?”

He feigned grogginess, acting as though his mind was still clearing. His dazed gaze locked onto Mei’s wide, purple eyes.

“Nagami—wha…?!”

Her words froze in her throat.

When the blanket slipped away, revealing the boy’s bare form, Mei’s porcelain cheeks flus...

507 – Cousin, It’s Time for You to Contribute to the Family

Before Kyousuke could exchange a few more words with the kendo club members, the loud commands echoing across the field suddenly came to a halt.

What followed was the chaotic stampede of feet, like a herd of wild boars charging forward.

‘Boom—'

Dust filled the air as a group of boys in baseball uniforms thundered across the dirt field.

Kyousuke stood in the center.

On his left, the baseball club in crisp white training uniforms, thei...

Chapter 306 – What’s That Smell?

“Huhaa~!”

Himeko stretched her arms wide, giving her elegant figure a satisfying pull.

Her silk nightgown clung lightly to her body, accentuating every curve, while her smooth, fair skin glowed under the morning sun with an almost translucent sheen.

“Ahh… I haven’t slept that well in ages.”

Not too long ago, every time she so much as thought about drinking, Th...

506 – The Baseball Club Debut

Since his house was full of women, the three neighbors had stayed at the Ruyi Dorm until late.

Not long after Kyousuke returned home, they finally said their goodbyes and left.

But before leaving, they had already made plans with Hojou Mikiko to join the neighborhood association’s event the next day.

Miss Dullahan still had plenty she wanted to say, but the mysterious power of housewives terrified her.

She immediately hopped on her bike and fled.

“Eh? Why isn...

508 – Good Morning, Mr. Ticket

“Hit by a pitch? You mean they’ll throw at me because they’re jealous of my face?”

Kyousuke raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

“That’s right.”

Tsuchiya Ryouta wore a heavy expression.

He wasn’t trying to backhandedly compliment Kyousuke’s looks—he was genuinely worried.

If Kyousuke actually performed as well as he promised, it was almost inevitable that pitchers would start targeting him with inside pitches.

“In baseball, once a batter ge...

Chapter 305.8 — Education [R-18]

Inside the violet-tinted world where time crawled at a snail’s pace, the other Kurumi clones stood frozen, their movements sluggish and distorted.

On the bed, however, things were very different.

Nagami had already pinned the bound Kurumi down, his hands busy between her trembling thighs.

“Mmmmh…!” Kurumi whimpered, her ruby-red eyes wide with panic as she writhed against the restraints.

She hadn’t expected Nagami to flip the table so quickly.

‘Da...
