466 Cake, Sisters, and Dog Food

After learning that World Serpent had been eliminated—

Otto, the Overseer of Schicksal, was still brewing an even more terrifying plan

While the Hyperion chose to head toward the territory of another anti-Honkai organization: Anti-Entropy.

There, the crew successfully reunited with Raiden Mei and the others, who had previously split off on a separate mission.

With that, nearly all of the Valkyries from St. Freya Academy were back together. Just one person remained to...

465 I Boarded the Ship

High above the Pacific Ocean, 512 kilometers from Sky City, the rumble of a Honkai engine gently dispersed the surrounding clouds.

A silver-white battleship cruised slowly through the skies like a massive ghost drifting among the heavens.

Its advanced optical camouflage and Honkai-based cloaking systems kept the colossal vessel perfectly hidden within the thick cloud cover.

Even the roar of its propulsion system was muffled to a whisper, contained within a precise energy fie...

Chapter 171 — Not Twice Over

“Hmm? Why can’t I find any records of Nagami’s past?” Honjo Nia frowned deeply. “It’s completely blank… as if he just popped into existence out of nowhere…”

Her turquoise eyes shimmered with confusion. She glanced at the black-haired boy beside her—who wore an expression of called it—with disbelief.

“Wait… Nagami, don’t tell me you’re a Spirit too? No, that can’t be right. Even if you were a Spirit, the database should still show <...

377 This Is Yukinoshita Yukino

Hearing her little sister’s pure, joyful laughter, Haruno froze for a moment.

Then her wide eyes curved into crescent moons, squinting until they were nothing more than faint slits.

“Wow, Hojou really is something. Just two sentences, and Yukino-chan’s already smiling like that. I haven’t heard her laugh so happily in years. Ah~ I’m so jealous~~”

At that moment, Kyousuke’s legendary “Level 10 Micro-Expression Reading” skill almost failed him—because the w...

376 So This Is What They Call a “Chaos Gremlin”

Following Eriri's gaze, Kyousuke looked over at Yukinoshita Yukino.

The girl was quietly enduring the overwhelming enthusiasm of her mother—an affection that could never be refused.

Normally, the one in that spot would’ve been Shouko.

But to Eriri’s surprise, the strange detachment she had once sensed from Yukino had seemingly vanished without a trace.

“She wasn’t like this before…” Eriri mumbled.

Even now, she couldn’t shake the image of Yukino...

464 Time to Return to the Hyperion

“She actually just left like that… unbelievable!”

Watching Durandal and her fleet disappear into the distance, Kiana couldn’t help but sigh. “She didn’t even question us at all?”

“Well… she is the easiest person in all of Schicksal to fool.”

Kagura shrugged and let out a sigh. “As for Otto, maybe he trusts Durandal too much. Otherwise, the moment she hesitated, Otto would’ve definitely made a move.”

“In that case, we really got luck...

Chapter 170 — Conversations End with “Heh”

“You’re awake! The surgery was a success—you’re now a handsome young boy~!”

“EHH!?”

The shocking words jolted Nia Honjou awake.

She sat up abruptly, her head snapping toward the source of the voice.

What she saw was Nagami, looking completely at ease while being hand-fed apple slices by Maid Kurumi.

Still under the blanket, Nia’s hand instinctively reached down toward the fabled “triangle zone.”

Not feeling any unfamiliar additions down ...

Chapter 169 — Saving Nia Honjou

Nia Honjou was an incredibly unique Spirit.

She possessed the angel Rasiel, one of the most powerful and mysterious in this world—an angel that embodied near-omniscience.

Rasiel had two components: the Information Retrieval Pages and the Blank Page.

The Retrieval Pages granted an all-knowing ability—capable of acquiring any information, as long as it didn’t pertain to the future.

Whatever she wanted to know—who, what, where, when—could be found with a single ...

Chapter 168 — Kurumi Is Just Too Useful

If there's an organization like Ratatoskr that seeks peaceful coexistence with the Spirits and represents the "good" side, then logically, there must also be an organization that represents "evil"—one that covets the power of Spirits.

After all, if the only major antagonist in this world was Mio Takamiya, it would feel a bit underwhelming.

Not because she's lacking in strength, but because her mentality and ambitions just aren't enough.

If this other organization were trul...

373 Dad, Where Are You Going!?

Mitsuha and Shouko had both gone to pick up their younger sisters, so Kyousuke didn’t hurry back to his seat.

Instead, he casually sat down in Shouko’s chair and reached over to lift his little sister onto his lap.

“Kasuko, did you properly greet all these big sisters?”

As he spoke, he gently took his sister’s chubby, cartoonishly round hand and waved it left and right like a puppet.

“Of course! Pretty sisters!”

Though tiny in stature, Kasuko spoke ...

374 — Hojou, Now I Understand Just How Hard It Is for You

“It’s not that—ah, no, what I mean is, there’s no way you’re actually going to celebrate Hojou!”

Mitsuha shook her head furiously, tripping over her own words.

“And besides! His parents are going to be there. Wouldn’t it be… I don’t know, awkward if you showed up?”

Flustered, she tried to explain, but her thoughts drifted back to elementary school sports day.

Back then, her mother was still alive.

As the wife of the most respected man in tow...

463 Durandal’s Choice

“Lady Durandal…?”

Rita stared at the sudden arrival—the captain of the Immortal Blades, her direct superior, and the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.

The wielder of the Divine Key Benediction of the Abyss and Blooming, her full name: Bianka “Durandal” Ataegina.

For the first time, the composed, ever-elegant maid lost her smile.

Her fair, graceful face was clouded with turmoil, her gaze lowered as if trying to reject a dreadful premonition gn...

462 Reunion and Rupture

Divine City Pharmaceuticals, Industrial District Entrance

“Waaaah—! Big Sis Kagura!”

The moment Kagura stepped out from the research building of Divine City Pharmaceuticals, a white blur flew at her and clung tightly to her.

“I’m so glad you’re okay! I was really worried! Aunt Himeko wouldn’t let me go in after you, saying we had to trust you and all…”

Kiana tackled Kagura with a powerful hug, squeezing her tightly.

375 Tell Me These Sisters Are the Last Ones

“You’re too close.”

Kyousuke muttered weakly, knowing full well that Haruno would completely ignore him.

And as expected, she leaned in even closer, like a tiger striding into a penguin exhibit, exuding an aura that dominated the room.

The reddish tips of her hair were now brushing right against his cheek.

Kyousuke didn’t bother backing away—because he knew that if he did, Haruno would just smirk with a gotcha grin and close the gap even mor...

461 The Gentle and Charming Maid

After the downfall of World Serpent, Kagura didn’t immediately set off with Rita to return.

The repeated use of the Infinity Stones had taken quite a toll on her, and once the battle was over, exhaustion washed over her like a tide.

Since Rita was now safe and the other Valkyries from “Immortal Blades” were no longer in danger, she figured she might as well rest here a while before heading back.

Besides, this break gave her a chance to collect the intelligence and data...

Chapter 167 — The Perfect Part-Timer

Morning sunlight filtered gently through the dark curtains, casting a faint glow over the quiet room.

Nagami lay on his side in bed, gazing down at the sleeping girl nestled in his arms—Yuzuriha Inori.

Her delicate hands were folded near her cheek, and her face still held a soft blush from the night before.

In the light of dawn, her features appeared almost translucent, her calm and even breathing carrying a faint, sweet fragrance uniquely hers.

Chapter 166 – This Kurumi Is Just... Kinda Lame

“So... you actually brought her back with you?”

At the Itsuka household, a crimson-haired beauty slumped over the table without a shred of elegance.

Her dead-fish eyes stared at her online acquaintance—Nagami—who now sat beside none other than the Third Spirit herself, Tokisaki Kurumi, gracefully smiling.

From beneath Kurumi’s feet, a shadow as black as ink crept out, stretching toward Nagami until it looked like their shadows were merged into one.

Chapter 165 – Boys Should Protect Themselves When Out in the World

The sun dipped slowly below the horizon, casting its final rays before vanishing.

One by one, bright incandescent lights flickered on across the streets and alleyways.

The café was quiet.

Aside from a few couples deliberately coming here for a bit of romantic atmosphere, it was mostly empty.

It was the kind of place perfect for a conversation.

Nagami sat focused, gently stirring the ice in his crystal glass.

The spoon clinked rhythmically against the froze...

371  Kyousuke and His Band of Rogues

Kyousuke had always believed that a person’s face reflected their heart.

So whenever he reached his breaking point in an argument, unleashing all his anger, his sharp features would contort.

His brows twisted, his mouth curled at an odd angle, and his whole face distorted like a monster’s.

That, he knew, was when a person looked their absolute worst.

Just one look at a recording of themselves in that moment, and anyone would wonder if they’d been possessed by a d...

372 – So Soft

Just as it looked like the whole gang was about to use Ishida Hidenori as a human welcome mat, Kyousuke chuckled softly and changed direction, leading everyone away.

The group of reporters, who had missed their chance to snap a photo earlier, swarmed around him.

Their faces were already flushed red—even though they hadn’t had a single drink yet.

Well, it made sense—digging up a big scoop like this was more intoxicating than the finest Junmai Daiginjo sake.
