Raiden Makoto had perished five hundred years ago, during the Cataclysm of Khaenri’ah—the very same era when Kallen had met her end.
Though time’s flow could be distorted by crossing between eras, the rate at which Kurumi absorbed time still left Nagami speechless with awe.
Even now, she hadn’t yet filled the first of her Twelve Bullets with a full five centuries’ worth of power.
Who knew how long the second one would take?
Besides, Nagami knew almos...

“You’ve lost, Ei.”
With her arms crossed, Yae Miko walked lightly toward the Archon who was struggling to stand, her steps playful yet graceful.
It wasn’t that she was happy to see her best friend get beaten—it was the expression on Ei’s face that excited her.
That flicker of confusion and hesitation was exactly what she wanted to see.
This duel—where faith itself was the blade—had achieved its purpose.

Even after parking her little scooter in a lot near Ginza 2-chome, Miyamizu Mitsuha’s cheeks were still flushed bright red.
“Absolutely not! You cannot tell anyone about this!”
Clutching Kyousuke’s arm tightly, the shrine maiden glared at him as if her life depended on it.
‘What was that supposed to mean—that my expression while being amazed by the food looked like I was missing my grandma? ‘
That’s basically calling me a brainless foo...

A radiant spring day.
Sunlight streamed down from the sky like honey made of glass, coating the quiet asphalt road in a soft, golden glaze.
Two figures rode along on a small scooter, the sunlight reflecting off them as if they were sugar-dusted confections displayed in a sweets shop window.
Though a gentle breeze blew against her face, Mitsuha could clearly smell something sweet—so sweet it seemed to seep right into her heart.
Holding onto the handlebars, she smiled ...

Around ten o’clock, the three finally met up with Nijika and Bocchi.
They spent the morning wandering around, had lunch together, and in the afternoon stopped by a live house.
They ended up hanging out until nightfall.
“It’s Christmas! Of course we should spend it together!” — that was Kita’s proposal.
So, the group gathered once again at Aoki Kei’s place.
Perfect timing, the Christmas tree Ryou had bought earlier finally came in handy.

Their meeting spot was set at Otoneiro, a local instrument shop. From there, they would head to Shibuya.
Since it was a holiday, the train was unusually crowded.
Kei could see plenty of people out and about — families spending the day together, groups of friends laughing, couples holding hands. It was the kind of lively chaos he had half-expected.
He technically had enough money to just take a taxi, but Japanese taxis were infamous for being absurdly expensive, e...

“You… would stand as the enemy of eternity?”
Raiden Ei raised her blade, crackling with thunder, facing Nagami with a sharp, unwavering gaze.
“Enemy of eternity?” Nagami smiled faintly. “Didn’t you once say that only eternity is closest to the divine order itself? Then tell me… do I look like the divine order to you?”
A surge of power erupted from him — the energy of a Herrscher roaring like a tidal wave.
Even the sly kitsune, Yae Miko, pal...

No way.
I really did not expect this.
Ei stared, dumbfounded — the 4K, photo before her had left her utterly stunned, speechless.
In the picture, an exquisitely beautiful girl lay gently on top of a dark-haired youth; her clothes were disheveled and slightly revealing, her cherry-like lips parted, cheeks flushed a pale rose.
Ei raised her head, mouth still slightly open.
The girl in front of her looked exactly like the one in the photo.
She half-wondered ...

“Barbatos, Morax... you two… why are you here?”
Ei hesitated, holding the dessert in her hands.
Should she just… throw it away?
The sweet aroma drifting through the air, the glossy surface that looked so delicious — it felt like a crime to waste it.
But eating it right in front of them? That would be embarrassing!

Kisaki Tetta wore his trademark smile as he swooped in to “borrow” the young ladies’ family resources.
All, of course, in the name of supporting his boss’s grand ambitions.

‘A love triangle.’
That’s probably the kind of word you’d see in a light novel — for example, when three people with tangled feelings all show up at the same place.
But as Aoki Kei just thought to himself...
Real life isn’t a light novel.
Those dramatic love triangle scenes that appear in fiction — they usually never happen in reality.
Usually.
The small living room was completely silent.

Nagami studied the purple katana in his hand — its blade etched with a crackling thunder sigil — and brought it to his nose with mild curiosity.
A faint, pleasant scent drifted from it, catching him off guard.

Chiba Kenichi tightened his grip on the bamboo sword, quietly reviewing the strategy he’d come up with during the break.
Hojou Kyousuke is just a high school student.
His speed and strength are at least equal to, if not greater than, mine.
As for his kendo skill... well, the first match ended so fast I couldn’t even assess it properly.
But at minimum, it’s on par with mine—maybe around seventh dan.

“Thank you for the match, Chiba-san.” Kyousuke removed his mask and bowed politely.
‘Sorry, but my pride’s on the line here. Even if I go easy on you, I still have to win.’
After all, if his subordinates saw him lose, they’d probably lose their minds.
Chiba Kenichi returned the bow stiffly, his mind still in chaos.

There are two eternal, unsolvable riddles in human history:
Finding the perfect gift for a girl—something she’ll like, and you’ll feel satisfied giving.
Inventing a perpetual motion machine.
Right now, Aoki was stuck on the first.
Shibuya 109, the giant shopping mall.
Standing in front of the floor map, Aoki felt dizzy.
The mall was enormous, filled with row after row of shops, each crammed with dazzling dis...

After a simple lunch, the atmosphere shifted back to business.

He reached into his bag and pulled out a folder—inside was a signed contract detailing EMI Records’ proposed deal.

Nagami wasn’t particularly picky about tea.
He couldn’t say he loved it either—but the tea at Komore Teahouse was genuinely good.
Still, compared to the blend Rita carefully prepared for him, it came up just a bit short.

Lumine seemed distracted, but the slight curve at the corner of her lips made it obvious—she was in an extremely good mood.

“Don’t be nervous. I’ll go along with you.”
On the mat, Kenichi Chiba smiled and nodded at the student across from him.
He knew full well that anyone facing someone like him—someone whose physical strength and kendo skill were on another level—would be trembling inside.
Just as he expected, Hatake Gorou was gripping his shinai far tighter than usual.
Although his boss hadn’t said it out loud, naming Gorou to go out first made the situation plain enough.

December 24th.
As if to prove the saying “Christmas is always more romantic when it snows,” flakes began to fall over Tokyo just as the morning sun rose.
Aoki didn’t hate the snow—but to say he liked it would’ve been a stretch. In truth, he barely paid attention to such things.
What weighed more heavily on his mind were the aftershocks of the storm from a few days ago.
The so-called “butterfly effect” was real, after all.
