475 Negotiations with Otto

Inside the bridge of the Hyperion, red lights flickered rapidly as piercing alarms rang through the air.

“All Valkyries, move to combat positions! Activate Valkyrie gear and stand by at your designated deployment points!”

“Air defense and anti-ship weapons on high alert! We don’t know where the enemy might strike from—no intel slips past our net, understood?”

Himeko issued commands with practiced precision, quickly organizing the crew against the sudden threat. View Post

474 Otto Comes Knocking

As more and more “pieces of the puzzle” fell into place in Kagura’s hands, the grand plan of Otto Apocalypse—the overseer of the Schicksal organization—gradually revealed itself before her eyes.

The terrifying truth hidden within the fog was beginning to unveil its mask.

First and foremost, it was common knowledge that Otto intended to create a controllable Herrscher.

Not a half-baked one, but a fully awakened, complete Herrscher.

That’s why neithe...

Chapter 183 – Professional

Nagami slowly stepped up to Inori Yuzuriha, casually wrapping one arm around her slender waist.

Then, to the shock of everyone watching, he reached his other hand toward the girl's chest.

"Nagami! What are you doing?! We're literally surrounded by enemies right now! If you really want to grope someone, wait until we get home—I’ll let you touch as much as you want!"

Nia Honjou's voice was abruptly cut off, like someone yanking the plug on a television.

Chapter 182 – Are You Going to Use Me?

Using the nearby buildings and trees as cover, Ellen kept her gaze locked on Nagami and the three girls—Kurumi, Nia, and Inori—gradually disappearing into the distance while laughing and chatting.

At the same time, she spoke into her earpiece, reporting her status to Westcott and issuing commands to her subordinates.

“There’s a high possibility we’re looking at four Spirits. However, the second core seems to lack any combat capabilities… you can ignore that one.”

Chapter 181 – A Multiple-Choice Question with Only One Option

The bustling commercial district was alive with activity.

Towering skyscrapers rose like giants into the sky, and wide roads stretched endlessly in every direction, fading into the horizon.

Down the center of the road ran a lush greenbelt, dotted with vibrant, colorful flowers blooming under the sunlight—a truly beautiful sight.

“Nagami, are you sure it’s really okay for us to be taking it easy like this? I mean... our opponent is the strongest magician in the world, a...

386 When Hojou Kyousuke Reveals Another Side

Both are pronounced almost identical, and just from the fact that she didn’t bother to hide the connection between her real name and her professional alias, you could already tell—this was a woman with an overwhelming presence.

385 Someone Wants to Know If the "Handless Devil" Has Been Redeemed by an Angel

The sun rose like any other day.

Kisaki Tetta slipped his phone back into his pocket.

Taking the warm towel handed to him by a subordinate, he wiped his face.

His expression returned to a calm, collected state—as if the man who had just been frantically calling someone in a fit of rage had been someone else entirely.

Yet his fists, clenched tightly at his sides, betrayed the truth—veins bulged, knuckles white.

“Strategist… what now? The boss will be wakin...

384 Thank You for Liking Kyousuke

Though this body had never tasted alcohol, Kyousuke in his previous life had his fair share of drinking.

Whiskey was one of the few alcohol he could actually say he liked—though “liked” was a relative term.

It was more palatable compared to the other odd-tasting liquors he'd tried.

The sweet aroma of honey and vanilla hit his nose first.

The first sip was sharp, tingling on his tongue, but that sensation quickly gave way to the mellow sweetness of malt sugar.

473 Feather Dust

Sirin had officially joined the Hyperion, and to everyone’s surprise, she was warmly welcomed by the crew.

For a girl who had never truly experienced warmth or love from the human world, this was her first time feeling the kindness of others—a sincere smile offered to her, even in a world as painful and despair-filled as this one.

That day, Kagura was in unusually high spirits.

Originally, her goal had simply been to help Kiana fully master the powers of the Herrscher of...

The brilliance faded.

The mirrored universe began to collapse.

In the outer world, Kiana had finally conquered the nightmare that had haunted her for so long—through sheer strength and unwavering will.

Back in the year 2000, in the frozen land of Siberia, when the Herrscher of the Void was defeated, the young Valkyrie named Kiana at last awakened her true power.

In the inner world, Kagura had unraveled the knots in Sirin's heart, allowing the purple-haired girl to le...

Chapter 180 — Super Brave Nia

“Kotori... what’s up with you?”

At the breakfast table, Itsuka Shidou glanced suspiciously at Kotori, who was quietly shoveling food into her mouth with unusual intensity.

Her delicate, snow-white cheeks were still tinged with a lovely blush.

Her eyes were locked—somewhere between embarrassed and furious—on Nagami, who sat across the table wearing the exact same calm expression as always.

Her bowl had already been empty for a while, and she hadn’t even noti...

Chapter 179 — Can’t Even Get Mad

Morning sunlight poured in through the windows, warm and pleasant, with a gentle breeze drifting through the air.

For some reason, Inori Yuzuriha hadn’t come to see Nagami last night.

If it meant her emotions had matured enough to understand personal space, then that was something worth celebrating—at least in Nagami’s opinion.

As for today, Nagami was still buried deep under the covers, snoring away in blissful slumber.

Normally, with his dual-body mental stamin...

Chapter 178 — Sigh… I Just Play for Fun!

High above Tenguu City, tens of thousands of meters in the sky.

The sky was a deep, flawless blue.

Not even a single cloud could be seen at this altitude—let alone something like a paper crane.

Few birds could reach such heights; only the howling gales raged through the empty air.

Yet strangely, those violent winds split apart at a certain point, as if something invisible stood in their path.

And indeed—that was exactly the case.

383 Wipe Them All Out

"Shou-chan is just as adorable as ever," Hojou Mikiko said with a bright smile, casually wrapping her arm around Nishimiya Yaeko’s shoulder.

“She really is,” Yaeko replied with a contented sigh.

Even though her glass only held a fizzy drink, she already seemed slightly tipsy.

As she looked at her bashful, sweet daughter sitting beside Kyousuke, Yaeko felt nothing but gratitude.

Watching Shouko shyly duck her head, she thought:

Kyousuke munched on a skewer of grilled beef belly, enjoying the show as Shouko faced off against Haruno.

She was being overwhelmed.

Then again, that was just how softhearted she was.

If it had been Mitsuha instead, she would’ve already taken a swing at Haruno for that “concerned but clearly provocative” tone she used when listening.

Even now, Mitsuha could only watch helplessly as her adorable cl...

—Inside the Cabin—

‘Creeeak…’

The wooden door let out a long, mournful groan as if it hadn’t been opened in decades.

When Kagura pushed it open, the sound cut through the silence like a scream.

‘Tap… tap… tap…’

She stepped into the small cabin, closing the door softly behind her to keep the biting wind and snow from seeping in.

"Who gave you permission to approach Her Majesty the Queen?"

A massive silver dragon radiating a brilliant blue light blocked Kagura’s path, its overwhelming draconic presence shaking the heavens and earth.

Then, a girl’s voice echoed with heavy resonance from within the dragon’s body.

"Do not disturb Her Majesty. Human, leave now—or die!"

This silver-white dragon brimming with raw Honkai energy was clearly not one to be trifled with.

Still, even in this ...

Sunlight streamed through the clouds, shining down on the towering skyscraper.

The massive glass walls of the building reflected the dazzling light like mirrors.

This darkness was cold, ruthless, and stopped at nothing to achieve its goals.

It had only one instinct: to pursue its own twisted sense of pleasure.

Chapter 175 – Overflowing with Shamelessness

After casually tossing Aether to the side, Nagami and Lumine, now acting like a pair of siblings, completed their "transaction."

Well, according to Lumine, it wasn’t a trade—it was a magical bonding ritual to strengthen their sibling relationship!

Even though Lumine had told him to take as much as he wanted, Nagami didn’t go overboard.

He simply took three drops of the spring water.

In return, Lumine had a small request: have Nia to draw yuri do...

Even in the end, Hojou Ichirou never answered Miyamizu dad question.

He never said whether his son's relationship with that group of girls was "normal" or not.

But did that even matter?

Even though Miyamizu Toshiki’s answer amounted to nothing more than, “I love my daughter, and I could never take away her youth,” and he never got the answer he really wanted—did that matter either?

Perhaps it mattered to Toshiki.

But for Ichirou, it was already enough. View Post

Then he heard the sound of a porcelain cup being forcefully set down on the table beside him. A flicker of irritation flared in Ichirou’s chest.

Walking down the hallway of the Hyperion, Kagura let out a long yawn.

It was already late at night—time to shower and get some sleep.

Although the Hyperion felt like a cozy home filled with warmth and laughter, it was still a battleship at its core.

There was always at least one Valkyrie on duty at the bridge, twenty-four hours a day, every day.

Thankfully, the Valkyries had rotating shifts, and Theresa hadn’t assigned Kagura to any of them...
