Chapter 175 – Tangled and Complicated

When it came to matters of the heart, Yamada Ryo was… perhaps a little slow on the uptake.

But she wasn’t stupid.

She could notice Kita’s behavior on most days, so even if she wasn’t the most sensitive person in the world, Ryo could still more or less guess what was on Kita’s mind lately.

That included what had happened over the past few days—how Kita’s relationship with Aoki Kei had suddenly turned tense, and then, by the afternoon today, somehow returned to n...

Chapter 337 – Shattered Dreams

It was a luxurious villa, its elegant interior faintly visible.

A crystal chandelier glittered overhead, scattering dazzling light across the hall.

C.C. raised her pale, slender hand, and with a crisp snap of her fingers, the entire villa dissolved into radiant streams of particles, scattering into the void.

“The Herrscher of Reason… in so many ways, this power really is convenient.”

Kurumi tilted her head slightly, her wine-red eyes glimmering with genuine admir...

Chapter 336 – Beyond Saving!

Paimon’s words made that already delicate and beautiful face flush red once again, a sight so enchanting it could dazzle anyone.

[What the heck is this emergency food saying!!!]

A flustered, indignant voice echoed in Nagami’s mind.

He turned his gaze toward the golden-haired girl in the kitchen, dre...

543 — The Big Black Umbrella

With the mindset that creators should help and support each other, the ever-kindhearted Eriri decided to comfort the currently dejected "errand boy" in her own way—by using her foot.

Blushing furiously, she lowered her head and shyly pressed her little foot, wrapped snugly in white cotton socks, into his hand.

‘Enough, enough! This is already too much!’

Cold sweat beaded on Kyousuke’s forehead as he desperately tried to hold back Eriri’s insistent foot whi...

542 – The Black-Silk Sage

Suicide had long been the most common form of homicide in Japan, and the protagonist’s schemes were disturbingly effective.

Even after being summoned to the police station three times in a row and placed under close surveillance, there was still no evidence linking him to the murders.

To craft such flawless tricks, it wasn’t just his transformation through darkness that mattered—he also owed much to his brilliant mother-in-law’s guidance.

The Ten Commandments of Dete...

Chapter 232.7 — You! [R-18]

Love juices gushed out in hot waves, splattering against C.C.’s lips and chin. But she only moaned into it, greedily sucking and swallowing every drop like a starving woman.

“Mmmhh… slrrrupphh… fwhhahhh… nghhhmmm…”

Lumine shook violently, tears welling in her golden eyes, her cries breaking into sobs of ecstasy. “I-it’s too muchhh! I-I can’t stop… cumming… I can’t…!❤️”

Her legs kicked weakly, her body twitching, but C.C. only drove her tongu...

Chapter 174 – Shopping Always Ends Up Like This

The quiet, cool voice of Yamada Ryo—soft enough for only the two of them to hear—pulled Aoki Kei out of his thoughts. He blinked and returned to the present.

“Nothing. Just zoning out.” Turning his head, he met Ryo’s gaze as he spoke.

Ryo gave a small nod. She hadn’t really been curious about what he was thinking—she had just wanted to start a conversation.

So after his reply, she leaned a little closer, skipped past the previous topic, and asked something else...

Chapter 173 – Future Plans and the Celebration Party

After riding the train back with Kita, Aoki arrived at his apartment around 11:30.

Before heading home, they stopped by a convenience store for a bento, making do with a simple lunch.

Around one o’clock—before Aoki could even leave for the livehouse—KL Corporation sent him an official notice with the final selection results.

The song “I Once Thought About Ending It All” had been chosen.

Its quality was ridiculously high, and its fit with the animated...

Chapter 335: Excessive Dirty Mind Is a Mental Illness

“Mmm~ this smell… delicious!?”                                          

A mouthwatering aroma slipped into Paimon’s tiny nose.

Still dozing with her eyes shut, the little glutton sniffed hard, a drop of drool sliding from the corner of her mouth.

The drifting ...

Chapter 334 – The Hidden Dangers of the Vision

In the end, Lumine still conceded defeat, her heartbeat faintly quickening as she walked into the kitchen to prepare the breakfast “he” wanted.

[So? What’s the connection between the Aether Anchor and a Gnosis?]

The lively flames flickered in the small kitchen as Lumine busied herself.

541 – The Mystery Writer Murder Case

Judge C was the most generous of them all.

Not only did he refuse to demand anything from the protagonist, but he even offered to take him as a disciple, promising to pass down all his writing techniques without reservation.

Having just witnessed the darker side of the literary world, the protagonist almost thought he was hallucinating.

But once he confirmed it was real, he was so moved he broke down in tears.

Then Judge C added that becoming his student wasn’t so si...

540 – Now It’s My Turn!

[Writer K: Dreams and Death.]                           

That was the title of Hojou Kyousuke’s latest work.

“This time, have you seen through my trick?” That was the very first line of the new novel.

“This time, are you satisfied with my trick?” ...

539 – His Mother Is Just Too Cute

After all that noisy fooling around, almost everyone ended up crowding into Naoka’s workshop.

Well, tailoring was an important task.

And even though everyone wanted to believe in Hojou Mikiko, the moment they saw her pointing at the sewing machine and asking “How do you even use this thing?”, the kind-hearted girls all decided that it’d be way more fulfilling to take part themselves.

“I’ll head over too then, okay? If you need help, just yell.”

M...

Chapter 333 – Does This Ever End?

As everyone knows, romance in novels usually follows a gradual build-up.

The main characters start with budding affection, then develop deeper feelings step by step, with plenty of emotional shifts, atmosphere, and foreshadowing along the way.

Only after all that setup can the story naturally move into the “real deal.” Otherwise, it just feels cheap and rushed.

Logically speaking, if a guy were to push things too far on the very first night he met a girl, readers would t...

Chapter 172 – A Response and a Response

The autumn wind stirred, ruffling Aoki’s usually untamed hair.

Time passed in silence—so silent that Aoki began to hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

He drew in a quiet breath.

It was time to say something.

No matter how the answer turned out, in the end… he had to give one.

Refusing—right now, that wasn’t something he could do.

Liking and loving weren’t the same, but wasn’t liking, in its own way, a voluntary surrender?

Accepting—th...

Chapter 171 – Kei-senpai, Kei-senpai

Aoki’s voice came from beside her, pulling Yamada Ryo back from her thoughts.

Ever since hearing bits about Aoki’s past, she couldn’t help but feel a stronger curiosity—maybe even concern—about him.

Right now, she wanted to ask him directly. She wanted to know about his past, about where he came from.

But when Aoki started speaking in that usual light, easy tone of his… Ryo suddenly found herself unable to bring it up at all.

The curiosity didn’t fade. 2025-09-22 15:13:20 +0000 UTC View Post

537 – What Else Can You Do on a Rainy Day Besides Sleep?

“Do your best, Kyousuke-kun!”

Shouko’s hand, which had risen in panic, didn’t lower.

Instead, she clenched it into a little fist, her face brimming with determination.

Her voice was firm, almost as if she wanted to pass her strength directly to Kyousuke.

Kyousuke curved his lips into a helpless smile.

He had thought no one would notice, but it turned out all of them were quietly worrying about him.

He raised his hand and gently pressed it on Shouko�...

538 – You Don’t Even Know How to Take Off Clothes?

Kyousuke thought it would take forever before his mother and the others returned, but to his surprise, barely two or three hours later the house was already filled with the girls’ cheerful chatter.

Each of them carried a beautifully wrapped bolt of fabric in her arms, faces glowing with excitement—clearly the trip had been a success.

It took him a second, but then Kyousuke realized: yes, kimono shops also sold ready-made pieces, but anyone with even a touch of refinement usual...

Chapter 332.6 — 500 Years Old Virgin [R-18]

The pleasure had risen higher and higher, building to the point of breaking—only for both Nagami and C.C. to suddenly slow down, denying her release again.

Her golden eyes flew wide open, her body twitching as the ecstasy slipped from her grasp for the second time.

Tears pricked the corners of her eyes from the unbearable frustration.

“Aaah..N-nooo… wh-why did you stop?” she whimpered, her hips shifting restlessly, chasing the pleasure that kept being stolen from her...

Chapter 332.5 — This Felt Different! [R-18]

“...Mmmh… ahhh… hnnn… mmwah… ❤️”

C.C. deepened the kiss, her tongue coaxing Lumine’s lips open with practiced ease.

Lumine’s arms tightened around her neck, pulling her closer, trembling with a mixture of nervousness and surrender.

‘She tastes so sweet… and she smells… good.…’

‘Is this what kissing felt like?’ Lumine�...

536 – Buried Beneath the Cherry Blossom Tree Lies Sweetie

Even before opening his eyes that morning, Kyousuke could already feel the shift in temperature—the faint chill brushing against his nose and cheeks.

‘It must be raining,’ he thought silently.

Though late April was supposed to be the height of Japan’s mild spring, the country’s peculiar climate often flipped expectations.

The winter cold, which barely made itself felt back then, lingered instead into spring.

On dry days it was bearable, but whenever ...

Chapter 170 – The Performance Ends, and the Ripples Begin

When Aoki’s final note faded, the venue fell silent for a heartbeat.

Then—applause erupted like a sudden wave.

If Takashi Imai’s performance earlier had left the audience hesitating over their choice, then Kessoku Band’s I Once Thought About Ending It All had completely erased all doubt.

Every judge, every spectator, was thinking the same thing:

If KL Studio didn’t choose this song for their animated short, the producer must have something w...

535 – The Shame-Pear Game

As expected, when Kyousuke returned home, he was greeted with concern from Kasumigaoka-senpai as well—naturally about the Mystery Writers’ Association Award.

Unlike Eriri, who drew a clear line between herself and the literary world, Kasumigaoka-senpai cared no less for him.

She was the kind of person who would even notice and stand up for him when Ishida Hidenori bad-mouthed him in the newspaper.

So of course she’d pay attention to something as important as a major aw...

Chapter 169 – I once thought about ending it all

The moment Aoki’s fingertips touched the keys, the entire hall seemed to fall into absolute silence.

And then, in the very next instant, every other sound was drowned out by the voice of his keyboard.

With each note, the emotions hidden in I once thought about ending it all burst forth, raw and unrestrained.

The chorus began.

Without hesitation, Aoki sang on.

Almost as if mirroring the song’s title, he repeated that one line for the third time—but ...

534 – Turn All Those Judges Into Doujin Characters!

Weekly Shounen High was a manga magazine, but its parent company, Eishusha, had its hands in every corner of publishing—novels, textbooks, children’s books, and of course, mystery fiction.

Hojou Kyousuke’s own The Devotion of Suspect X aside, the novelist Eishūsha introduced him to, Osaka Gou, was a veteran mystery author who had been tied to the company for years.

But this time, instead of consulting Osaka Gou about his mystery-themed project, Shimomura T...

Chapter 332 – What’s Wrong With a Little Narcissism!

The night sky was a velvet canvas, studded with stars.

Silver moonlight spilled between drifting clouds like mercury flowing across the earth.

The glow of countless lanterns lit up Mondstadt’s streets, pouring through alleys like rivers feeding a lake.

Even past midnight, the city still pulsed with the afterglow of the Windblume Festival.

By the window, Lumine sat curled up, staring blankly into the distance.

Fresh from her bath, she had finally shed the white ...

Chapter 331 – As Expected

“The Windblume is the symbol of the Windblume Festival. It represents freedom and the spirit of the wind.”

Jean spoke with a gentle smile, her golden hair tied back in a ponytail, its natural curls catching the light.

The firm and resolute air about her gave her less softness, more valor.

“But precisely because of freedom, everyone has a different idea of what the ‘Windblume’ truly is. Honorary Knight, you should choose according to your own will. Still, I hope you...

Chapter 168 – I Once Thought About Ending It All

[TL Note - The song is not mine]

———————————————————————

As one of the most well-known directors in the anime industry, it was no surprise that Niijima Yusuke had been invited to join KL Studio’s music competition as a judge.

But the more he listened to the performances on-site, the less confident he felt about Kessoku Band’s chances.

It wasn’t without reason—Takashi Imai’s performance today had b...

Chapter 167 – I Once Thought About Ending It All

November 14th, weekend.

The final round of the project’s audition event had begun.

The venue for the judging was in Chiyoda, Tokyo.

Around ten in the morning.

Backstage, Aoki sat quietly in a corner.

From the stage came the sound of a musician performing, but he paid it no mind, letting his thoughts drift.

The rest of the Kessoku Band girls were busy adjusting their equipment.

At this point, there was no time left for more practice.

Aoki’s s...
