Reject Me, You Vile Woman! [46]

Before this duel began, Farao had always believed that Linen Norton was strong.

But he, Farao Oss, had never lost to anyone!

Both were [One-Ring Arcana Mages], and now that he'd also mastered [Weave Meditation], combined with years of rigorous battle training, Farao saw no possibility of defeat.

But when Linen’s [Wind Blade], three times larger than his own, effortlessly shattered his attack and barreled towards him, casti...

The indoor water park evoked the refined elegance of a classic European summer retreat.

A charming space designed to soothe the body and mind.

Pools maintained at temperatures close to human comfort.

An all-weather indoor water park, offering enjoyment year-round!

"At least, that's what the advertisement claims."

"Wow."

Ophis responded blankly, offering a monotone exclamation of amazement—though she likely didn't understand what Jeanne Alter had just reci...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [669]

While her main body was busy training Koneko in the Underworld, Jeanne Alter's avatar was babysitting back in Kuoh Town.

Well, both sides technically counted as babysitting—whether it was Koneko, Asia, or Ophis, all of them were just children in Jeanne’s eyes. The kind who gave their elders headaches. Koneko had matured a little thanks to recent events, but she still hadn't outgrown the "child" category.

Jeanne had made quite a mess on Mount Sumeru recently, paying homage in h...

BOOM—!

A massive fireball crashed down, shaking the earth violently. Nearby trees turned to ash, rocks shattered, and a gigantic crater appeared in the ground.

“Run faster, Red Dragon Emperor brat! If you don’t hurry, you’ll end up as charcoal!”

“Oooooh—! Don’t underestimate me! I’m gonna become a High-Class Devil… The Harem King! Oooooh—!”

Issei’s training continued at full intensity.

The huge dragon chasing relentlessly behind...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [667]

“Koneko, don’t you have training to do?” Jeanne asked, feeling a bit puzzled.

Rias had been highly dissatisfied with their recent Rating Game against Sona. Except for Koneko, everyone had been thoroughly targeted and knocked out before they could properly fight—especially Gasper, who was now enduring particularly harsh training.

Maybe it was due to the attacks from Loki and the Khaos Brigade; in any case, Rias and the others had gone straight back into intense training rig...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [666]

The meeting finally ended… Actually, it wasn't really a formal meeting—at best, it could be called a secretive conversation.

Such small-scale discussions were already routine for Sirzechs and Azazel. As leaders of their factions in this peaceful era, they no longer needed to fight on the frontlines; instead, they frequently attended meetings or prepared for the next round of talks.

Unlike Azazel, Sirzechs shared his workload with three other Maou. Ajuka Beelzebub handled techn...

Artem wasn’t just making up that news about The Doctor’s arrival.

It was true—he’d heard it straight from Krupp’s own mouth that morning.

That was also one reason Krupp had been so eager to agree to the assassination of Crepus.

After all, The Doctor was not just a sadist, but ruthlessly unforgiving. Even if Krupp had earned plenty of credit in the past, a single misstep could mean execution—or worse, being turned into an experiment.

With the Mondstadt recru...

Night had fallen.

Even without moonlight, Mondstadt remained as lively as ever.

The free-spirited people of Mondstadt kept to their work schedules with surprising precision, but once off the clock, they unfailingly flocked to the city’s many taverns and amusements.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Artem Vetrovski, dressed all in black and masked, slipped through the city’s backstreets, avoiding the crowded business districts and bars, darting between rooftops.

A m...

Krupp set off, brimming with excitement, to prepare for the assassination of Crepus.

In his eyes, a Crepus without a [Delusion] was no better than a small fry.

After all, Krupp himself had received physical modifications from The Doctor. He wasn’t as powerful as a Fatui [Delusion] wielder, but taking down an ordinary man—especially one already weakened by [Delusion] backlash—was something Krupp felt supremely confident about...

Eula didn’t enter the city with Artem Vetrovski.

Instead, she slipped in alone through a side gate.

Though the two of them had shared drinks more than a few times, it was almost always Artem who invited her—and Amber was usually there too.

Even so, she still managed to attract plenty of criticism.

Not everyone in Mondstadt recognized the Snezhnayan envoy, but as long as a single person could identify Artem’s true identity…

Rumors would spread like wildfir...

Night had fallen.

A faint, contented smile lingered on Eula’s face as she drifted into a deep sleep, her head pillowed on Artem Vetrovski’s lap.

After knowing her for so long—

It was the first time he’d ever seen her look so genuinely, utterly at peace.

Artem gently stroked her hair, his mind already turning over everything he still had to deal with.

First was the matter of the Lawrence Clan.

Eula losing her [Vision], would, to any ...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [80]

Kamen Rider Ixa—secondary Rider of the long-running family drama Kamen Rider Kiva—had a reputation that could only be described as legendarily bad.

What made this armor infamous, more than anything, was one of its users: Wataru Kurenai.

Known throughout the fandom as Papa Kurenai.

He wielded four belts in total—three of which were notorious for their severe side effects. The only "safe" one, they said, still squeezed a user’s brain like a vice.

Of course, getting forcibly dragged onto a pirate ship of a journey wasn’t what made Hoshigaki Sora sigh.

What truly weighed on him… was that Flame Swordsman’s power had finally hit its limit.

After leaving behind a superhero chronicle—most of which was now a hazy grey—and waving a casual goodbye, the figure vanished from Sora’s side.

During this interstellar trip, Sora had drawn a new power once.

But compared to before, it was clearly underwhelmin...

[I have seen hell.]

The land beneath her feet was made entirely of severed limbs and shattered remains.

Fragments of various types of armor were embedded among them—as if corpses and machinery had long since become one.

[I have seen hell.]

She walked forward across this macabre terrain, leaving a trail of broken bodies behind her. She never paused, never looked back.

At last, something in the distance caught her eye. She finally stopped.

The Stellaron Hunters had departed—but before leaving, Kafka handed Sora a planetary access card.

“Entropy Loss Syndrome?!” Robin turned quickly to Sora, worry flashing across her face. “You... You actually have that disease?”

Entropy Loss—one of the rarest, most devastating conditions in the galaxy.

Almost incurable. Almost always fatal.

Those afflicted required specialized stasis chambers just to survive. For anyone else, even functioning was nearly impos...

Time spent with family always passed quickly.

And the more Anna spoke with them, the more certain she became—these two really were her parents.

Only... their memories diverged sharply from her own.

For instance, the battle against the Annihilation Faction—what had once consumed the planet five years ago. According to their recollection, they had instead left to seek a way to revive the world.

They spoke of countless planets they had traveled to.

But ...

That sound was… way too intoxicating.
It was enough to make Kuroba Akira sit up a little straighter.

It wasn’t like the R18 ASMR content he’d heard in his past life, the kind that went straight for the gutter—but somehow, this natural, unfiltered moan from a girl was far more arousing. It hit him somewhere deeper, more dangerous.

Seeing Shiginomiya looking dazed and breathless, her mouth slightly open and a trail of drool threatening to slip from the corner of her lips,...

After restraining the urge to raise his metaphorical flag, Kuroba Akira scratched his cheek awkwardly and cleared his throat.

“Ahem… Let’s eat some watermelon.”

“Mm…”

Now that his Talent had switched to the class rep’s [Academic Ability A], Akira could no longer keep a straight face the way he used to.

I must look like such a creep right now… In the gender-reversed version of my past life, this would’ve been enough to get me cancele...

The King of Tokyo Freeloaders [63]

“The weeding’s done? Then come inside—I cut up a watermelon.”

“Wait, we get fruit now? Are you sure you’re the same old hag I know? Did someone swap you out while I wasn’t looking?”

“Brat. You just lost your share.”

“Aw, c’mon, don’t be like that—I take it back… Man, can’t even eat watermelon without groveling these days.”

In his previous life, Kuroba Akira had never really craved watermelon—he’d just eaten too mu...

Just as the sun dipped below the horizon, Kuroba Akira returned to the Kobayashi household.

He pushed open the gate and made his way to the front door. Just as he was about to pull out his key, a voice greeted him from the side.

“Welcome back, Akira-kun.”

“…Oh. I’m back.”

Akira blinked in surprise before replying—mostly because Shiginomiya’s outfit was just too eye-catching.

She was wearing an old-fashioned gym uniform, gloves for yard work on her...

Sumiya Ryouta rubbed his nose, still bandaged with a plaster.

“Damn, my nose still hurts. That punch really packed a wallop—almost knocked me flat… but I held my ground!”

He actually sounded kind of proud?

“By the way, Akira, how did you even land that punch? Have you trained in boxing?”

“Nope.”

Kuroba Akira had never done any kind of boxing. As a corporate drone in his past life, he barely had time to jog, let alone pick up a sport like boxing. 2025-07-15 12:40:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Mushoku Tensei: Sword, Magic Hats, and the Romance System [70]

The sun hovered over the mountain crest.

After an hour of rapid travel, the fading light cast its glow on the faces of the hunting party. Their expressions were so grim they nearly spilled beyond their features.

Allen, Paul, and the others stood atop a tall tree. Below them, monsters leapt upward again and again, but before they could reach the branches, each one was sliced apart midair by light, gliding arcs of sword energy.

Beneath the tree, the snow was red, soiled, and r...

Mushoku Tensei: Sword, Magic Hats, and the Romance System [69]

Winter was bitterly cold.

It didn’t take long for the “blood lake” to freeze over.

At its edge, Allen and Paul squatted side by side in a posture that could only be described as taking a dump, eyes fixed on a line of dark, gaping holes in the snow—the escape tunnels left behind by the retreating monsters.

“There’s wind.”

Allen reached a hand into one of the holes, held it there for a while, then turned to Paul, his face serious.

Paul scratc...

Mushoku Tensei: Sword, Magic Hats, and the Romance System [68]

The snowfall had eased.

But the battle raged on.

At the forest’s edge, Paul sliced through the swarming monsters like a whirlwind of steel. Sword winds tore up snowdrifts and scattered mangled corpses in his wake as he charged forward like a human meat grinder.

“The barrier’s been broken!!”

“Over here too!”

“They’re chewing through the tree trunks!”

An hour ago, the monsters had stopped ramming the barrier directly. Instead, to avoid being...

The snow in Buena Village was thick.

Four figures—two big, two small—moved through the white haze, their footsteps crunching rhythmically across the frozen ground. Amidst the soft creak of snow came Rudeus’s voice:

“Uncle Laws, what kind of monsters are we dealing with this time? I want to prepare the right magic to counter them.”

Laws led the group at the front. Rudeus walked half a step behind, just to his right. Allen and Sylphy followed side by side at the rear...

Mushoku Tensei: Sword, Magic Hats, and the Romance System [66]

"Monster horde??"

Allen turned in surprise. Beside him, Sylphy huddled into her fluffy collar, legs dangling and lightly swinging as she sat on the bench. Her eyes met Allen’s startled gaze head-on, her lashes trembling slightly, the tips of her pointed ears twitching just a little.

This winter, Sylphy had been spending her days “studying” at the Greyrat house. Every morning, she was brought over by either her mother or Laws, and picked up again in the evening.

Weren’t You Only Using Me As A Stand-in? [90]

The moment Kitahara Takeru pushed open the haunted house doors, an icy blast hit him head-on, instantly chasing away the summer heat clinging to his body.

It was freezing inside.

So cold that as he stepped through the threshold, he shivered instinctively, every hair on his body standing on end.

He felt like a slab of pork tossed into a walk-in freezer.

“So cold.”

Apparently, he wasn’t the only one—Shijō Maki gave a visible shudder too.

The second T...

Weren’t You Only Using Me As A Stand-in? [89]

“I’m getting off. See you next time, good friend.”

As the train arrived at its stop, Kitahara Takeru waved goodbye to Komi Shōko and moved with the crowd toward the exit.

Watching his back disappear into the station, Komi raised a hand and whispered in a voice only she could hear:

“...See you.”

Her words were barely louder than a mosquito’s wings, lost in the shuffling of people getting on and off.

It wasn’t so much a goodbye to him as it was a pro...

Weren’t You Only Using Me As A Stand-in? [88]

Noon, after lunch.

Kitahara Takeru, Ōtani Shōta, and Tanaka Kōta were leaving the cafeteria when they noticed a crowd of students gathered around the first-floor announcement board.

Ōtani suddenly recalled, “Oh right—scores for that test from a couple days ago come out today.”

“Takeru, you going to check yours?”

Takeru yawned and didn’t even slow his pace. “What’s there to check? It’s first place again.”

He had already estimated his score ...

Weren’t You Only Using Me As A Stand-in? [87]

After breakfast, as usual, Kitahara Takeru and Nakano Yotsuba began their morning run with Tiny on a leash.

Of course, from Kōha’s perspective, it was him taking them out for a stroll.

No helping it—these two were just way too slow. At this pace, even in the dog world, they’d miss the fresh turds.

Nakano Ichika didn’t join them.

She hadn’t slept a wink all night. If she tried running now, she’d probably drop dead on the spot.

Beside...
