Chapter 66: A Café Meeting and Ryo's Message

The air carried a distinct hint of summer.

The morning sunlight wasn’t as blinding as it would be at noon, but the season’s presence was unmistakable.

As for the "smell of summer"—Aoki wasn’t quite sure what that even meant.

In a bustling metropolis like Tokyo, summer rarely brought pleasant aromas.

Aside from the rare whiff of lavender on certain streets, most of the time, a deep breath just filled his nose with the faint, almost imperceptible scent of car exh...

Chapter 234 — Like Sunlight, Piercing Through the Night~

[Soul Fusion] — a very special ability.

Nagami had never used it before.

Well, not exactly. It did come with a rather convenient passive effect: over time, it would slowly evolve the user's soul.

Thanks to that passive trait, Nagami was initially able to use Geass and Code to slowly, piece by piece, carve out control over the Honkai consciousness.

That... was his starting point.

He vaguely remembered how the ability had been described ...

Chapter 233 — Kanami

A deafening sonic boom tore through the air—so sharp, so piercing, it was like the sky itself had been ripped apart.

A deep, lightless darkness stretched out, as if the stars had been devoured by a black hole.

A crimson hellfire capable of burning all into ash erupted from Calamity’s Edge...

The space was saturated with the overwhelming presence of the Void Sword...

A holy spear born before creation and lingering beyond annihilation, glowing with sacred radiance......

Chapter 232 – Ich liebe dich

In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, the true nature of Honkai is a trial.

When the previous era left answers on the desk for future examinees, the system responded—by summoning the copy of colossal beast, Chiyou.

All things considered, Chiyou wasn’t stronger than what the Pre-Era’s contingencies could handle.

In the end, the one who passed the answers and the one who received them both paid with their lives to put Chiyou down.

That chapter, at le...

432 That Was Wild

Kyousuke stared at the pyramid in front of him and felt mildly satisfied.

Even if it was just a meaningless creation deep in the mountains where no one would see it, he still didn’t want Celty to think he hadn’t improved at all in the past two years.

It was a perfect human pyramid.

Every head was visible, meticulously arranged in ideal proportions.

Not just by height and weight—their hairstyles had also been factored in.

He had even taken notes on ...

433 You Haven’t Returned, I Can’t Sleep, and Tomorrow Won’t Come

After paying the cab fare, Kyousuke turned around and looked at the quiet three-story house in front of him, bathed in the soft stillness of night.

Even though it was past midnight, the moon still hung high and bright in the sky.

Its silver glow was so clear that even the birds perched on the oak tree in the courtyard could be seen without effort.

The moonlight streamed down like molten silver, sliding silently along the blue ceramic tiles of the roof.

The moonlight lo...

Chapter 65: Preparing an Album Still Feels a Bit Far Off...

It was 1:42 PM—right around the time most students would still be in class.

After Aoki sent his message, the other members of Kessoku Band didn’t respond right away.

Then, just after 2 o’clock, replies began to trickle in—most likely right after class ended.

Even though they didn’t go to the same school, Kita and Nijika somehow messaged almost at the exact same time:

Chapter 64: Tuesday Afternoon’s Contest Ranking

“Ah… no, it’s not because of you, Aoki-senpai. It’s just… my personality is kind of gloomy... S-Sorry,” Gotou Hitori apologized from across the table, her voice soft and nervous.

“You’re apologizing for that?” Aoki let out a helpless sigh, then gently replied, “I ’m not blaming you or anything. We’ve known each other for a while now, Bocchi-chan. There’s no need to be so tense around me.”

He paused briefly, then added with a bit of a chuckle, �...

Chapter 231 – Outsider, Your Life Ends Here

The moment they saw the boy's figure, the Herrscher girls floated over, surrounding Nagami and bombarding him with questions.

It was a bit overwhelming, to say the least.

“Where’s C.C.?”

After Kiana briefly explaining the situation on her end with Mei, she looked around, her diamond-shaped azure eyes filled with slight confusion.

A heavy silence immediately fell over the group as everyone turned to Nagami.

Fu Hua and Yae Sakura looked like they wanted to sp...

Chapter 230 — Who Isn’t a Herrscher at This Point?

A streak of azure light came to a stop in front of Kiana, the long trail of comet-like particles behind it fading into nothing.

“A-Ah, Nagami! What was that just now?”

With wide eyes full of wonder, Kiana flew to Nagami’s side, naturally looping her slender, pale arms around his as she asked with curiosity.

“I’ll explain that later. What’s your situation right now?”

The six-pointed star glowing faintly in his pupils shimmered with a pure light. Nagami rea...

429 Kisaki Tetta Will Never Disappoint boss Again

On both sides of the highway, stood two groups of supporters—one for the blue Toyota, the other for the black motorcycle.

But the atmosphere between them couldn't have been more different.

On the left, a bunch of biker gang members in flamboyant outfits were foaming at the mouth with excitement.

On the right, high school students in uniforms wore complicated expressions.

How should one put it? As expected of boss.

“Haha! Even your own teammates have lost all ...

430 What a Wicked, Cruel Man!

As Shintarou charged over, boiling with rage, Kyousuke casually waved his hand like he was swatting a fly and said impatiently:

"Could the middle-aged guy who lost his wife and came to the mountains to mess around please go play somewhere else? Don’t interrupt me while I’m talking with my new friends."

"Yeah, Shintarou-san, shouldn’t you be out looking for your wife or something?" race queen Furuzawa Sae added mockingly.

"Eriko told me she was going back to her parents...

431 Miss Celty, I Want to Ride With Hojou-san Too!

“Monster…” Hoshizuki’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

Just moments ago, Kyousuke still looked the part of a refined novelist — that calm, intellectual, artsy type of handsome.

And yet, this same man had just grabbed Shintarou — who was easily over 180 cm tall and built like a damn tank — and hurled him five or six meters away with his bare hands.

The poor guy crashed onto the roof of a blue Toyota, crushing it like a tin can.

Sure, it was a Japanese c...

Chapter 63: Say Something... Anything... Hurry...!

There was no doubt about it—Hitori’s mom had definitely gotten the wrong idea.

Aoki wanted to explain himself.

Unfortunately, Hitori’s mom didn’t give him the chance.

Grabbing her husband and younger daughter by the hand, she decisively delivered her "We won’t intrude any further" line.

Then turned around and walked straight out of the family restaurant—leaving her beloved eldest daughter behind without a second thought.

Watching her brisk exit, Aoki�...

Chapter 62: One Twist, Two Turns, Three More...

Maybe it was because she’d run into Aoki outside of school and STARRY that day, but Gotou Hitori looked genuinely shocked.

And thanks to that shock, she completely failed to control her voice.

“AA-AA-AA-AA-AOKI-SENPAI?!”

Her sudden shout echoed through the restaurant, far louder than it needed to be.

Aoki, who’d only intended to give a casual greeting, froze awkwardly in his seat and didn’t reply right away.

As for Bocchi-chan...

Chapter 229 — The Power of Three Aspects

They had discovered that only by striking the core could they inflict real damage—but they still hadn’t realized that the energy of each Jin Li clone would scale with the opponent’s strength.

Still, sensing the explosive power surging from her teammates, Mei’s own fighting spirit was rising fast.

She cast one last glance toward Nagami’s direction, took a deep breath, and her expression sharpened with steely resolve.

‘I can help him. I must.’

Wild...

Chapter 228 — One, Two, Three… Ultimate!

Several pseudo-Herrscher-level clones materialized around Ji Lin and charged forward—targeting the girl in the ceremonial shrine maiden dress.

Having used the trial card gifted by Nagami, she had evolved from Priestess to Herrscher of Corruption.

Her crimson eyes now shimmered with a dangerous, otherworldly glow.

With a flick of her thumb against the hilt, the girl unleashed a blinding blade of light.

The cut was so sharp, no sound followed—not even the echo of a b...

Chapter 227 — A Different Kind of Fighter – Fu Hua

Over the vast Pacific Ocean, piercing bolts of lightning ripped through the sky, thunder rumbling ominously from the dense, storm-laden clouds above.

Surrounding her were countless versions of Ji Lin each one a fragmented incarnation of a Herrscher-level entity.

These clones, while not full Herrschers but still wielded powers on par with pseudo-Herrschers like Welt.

Dancing through the sky, the Third Herrscher’s figure flickered like a thunderbolt, evading the relentless b...

428 Let’s Settle This — Loser Leaves Their Tire Behind!

Kyousuke was, at his core, a refined man, free from vulgar tastes.

While he was deeply devoted to beautiful girls, he was equally intolerant of anyone who dared interrupt his time with them.

You could say he was the embodiment of true gender equality—both in admiration and in disdain.

This trait wasn’t just part of his personality.

It had been instilled in him by his mother, Hojou Mikiko, a woman who also despised ugly people and adored sweet, soft girls from the b...

427 Just Holding Isn’t Enough, Gotta Tie Them Up Too

It wasn’t just Kisaki Tetta silently complaining to himself—Kuroda and the others were all mentally screaming too.

But no matter how frustrated they were, nobody dared voice it out loud.

Who the hell gave you guys the guts to badmouth our boss like that?

Just as Hatake Gorou’s mood had started to improve, a wicked grin twisted across his face.

For a delinquent, what could be more natural than getting into a brawl after a joyride? Ride, fight, ride, fight… Man, ...

Chapter 61: Restaurant Encounter

It was around 9:30 a.m.—not too early, not too late.

The timing felt just right.

After copying the phone number left by Hana Under the Starry Sky, Aoki promptly dialed it.

The phone rang only briefly before being swiftly picked up.

"Hello? Who is this?" came the voice of a middle-aged man on the other end.

Aoki hadn’t expected the famous animation director to answer so quickly, but as soon as he heard the voice, he responded...

Chapter 60: A Regular Tuesday Without School

It was Tuesday.

After returning from Kyoto to Tokyo, unlike Nijika and the others, Aoki hadn’t just taken Monday off.

Last Friday, right before the weekend started, he’d taken the initiative to visit the faculty office and inform Hiratsuka-sensei that he might need a bit of time off.

He wasn’t sure how long exactly, but he promised to return as soon as things were settled.

Being top of his grade came with certain privileges, and it helped that he had a good rappo...

Chapter 226 — Void Kiana

"You're digging your own graves!"

Sirin raised her delicate right hand, her expression twisted in rage.

The space around her rippled like water, and a spiral spear of black, white, and gold slowly materialized beside her.

Its sharp edges gleamed with a cold light, and with a flick of her arm, the Void Spear shot forward at bullet speed, aimed directly at the two girls.

"I won’t give you a chance to use the Fenghuang Down!" 2025-08-04 15:02:48 +0000 UTC View Post

426 Tight Leather Suits Only Work with Long Legs

Kyousuke whipped his head around at the voice.

For a second, confusion flickered in his eyes—then turned into delight.

A motorcycle blacker than midnight stood before him, every inch of it exuding a sharp, mechanical allure.

Straddling it casually was a stunning woman in a black leather bodysuit.

Her long, shapely legs, wrapped in tight leather pants, touched the ground with effortless grace—toned, smooth, perfect.

You couldn’t help but envy the bike beneat...

Chapter 225 — Secret Schemes Face-to-Face

A couple minutes ago

Alvitr raised her hand to shield her face, peeking through the gaps between her fingers as if watching a family comedy unfold before her.

Loud smacking sounds echoed non-stop, each blow accompanied by the agonized wails of a man.

The ground where Siegfried stood had been smashed into a massive crater, rubble flying everywhere from the impact.

"Hey, hey! That’s enough already! If you keep going, old man’s seriously gonna die!" 2025-08-04 15:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 59: Moments at the Aquarium

Shortly after Kessoku Band's live performance, a video titled “Suki-san Performs ‘Loser’ Live with Kessoku Band – Absolutely Electrifying!” was quietly uploaded to Youtube.

While the [Be Original / Rock Band Project] wasn't the hottest topic online, it had enough buzz and fan engagement that when the video was tagged with “PVC Project,” it spread like wildfire.

Filmed by a live audience member, the clip unexpectedly exploded in popularity—

Chapter 58: Curtain Call and the Online Uproar

As Aoki Kei’s final words echoed through the venue, a brief silence fell over the Kyoto Sports Arena.

Then—an explosion of applause and cheers, far louder and more passionate than before.

The [Be Original / Rock Band Project] had been a two-day live showcase with only 1,000 tickets available due to venue capacity.

After accounting for no-shows and those who didn’t return for Day 2, the crowd now numbered around 600.

And yet, the energy they unlea...

Chapter 57: Sing It, Loser!

The final round of the Be Original / Rock Band Project had officially opened for ticket sales.

Each ticket was priced at 6,500 yen — and they sold out in no time.

Fans had gathered for all sorts of reasons.

Some were there for the prestigious GES Academy Band.

Some came to support other bands in the competition. And, of course, some were there simply because of the mysterious figure known as “suki-san.”

But those who came because of suki-san didn�...

Chapter 224 – The Will of Thousands

Burning crimson flames clashed violently in the air with the sword aura of the Xuanyuan Sword, creating waves of explosive energy that surged outward like a deadly storm of blade-like wind, tearing across the battlefield.

The shockwave swept out with overwhelming force, churning the already restless sea into towering waves.

The sky twisted under the pressure, clouds contorting into tornado-like vortices as scorching winds howled through the air.

“Burn to ashes!”
