“Eh?”
Tokai Teio had initially been following President Rudolf’s scent, but as she ran, a mysterious figure dressed entirely in black gradually became visible ahead.
It wasn't that this person had suddenly appeared; rather, they’d been there all along—Teio simply hadn’t noticed them until now.
And President Rudolf’s scent was coming directly from this person!
Teio briefly considered that the hooded figure might be Symboli Rudolf herself—but swiftly dism...

“Eh?” Tokai Teio blinked in confusion, still holding her victory pose.
I definitely felt someone watching me just now, but… why can’t I see anyone there?
As a genius Uma Musume who adored attention, Tokai Teio was particularly sensitive to others' gazes. She’d clearly sensed someone staring at her earlier—Mizuno Sora’s gaze.
Yet, when she turned around to look, she only saw the group of new trainers guided by Hayakawa Tazuna. They were busy looking aro...

After the incident, the newcomers continued their chatter, Mizuno still maintaining his role as an invisible bystander. They waited for about fifteen minutes until all the new trainers had arrived, after which Hayakawa Tazuna raised her small flag and guided the group into the academy.
As she led them along, Tazuna explained enthusiastically:
“This building houses classrooms specifically for Uma Musume. We strongly advise male trainers against visiting alone.”

In the end, Mizuno Sora stepped out of the taxi. As soon as both feet were firmly planted on the ground, the vehicle vanished without a trace, as though it had never existed.
Why does this feel like I just rode Bus 44 at midnight and ended up in the underworld...? Mizuno quipped silently.
But it wasn’t far off—Tracen Academy, with the highest density of Uma Musume in all Japan, was essentially hell itself, filled with creatures ready to devour him whole.

To all trainers: throughout your tenure, please never harbor or expose even the slightest notion of romance. Relationships are strictly forbidden—whether among colleagues or between trainers and Uma Musume. At all times, maintain appropriate distance from everyone.
Never proactively invite Uma Musume to meals. If one invites you, find an excuse and politely decline.
Do not pat heads! Do not touch horse ears! Do not touch tails!
When going to sleep at night, ensure your doo...

While Lyra chatted with the system, [Defender] had silently cleared out most of the enemies in the settlement. Only a few Famiglia Crossbowman stubbornly remained hidden inside the buildings, fighting a futile last stand.
But to [Defender], it was just two more shield strikes—one for the door, another for the men inside.

Lyra clutched her head, her expression filled with disbelief.
“First off, my real-world body is already dead. If I revive now, I'll respawn right there, then immediately die again from the concentrated Honkai energy.”
“And if I try to leave as just a soul without a body, I'll vanish completely within five minutes if I don’t find someone to possess—even you, as my system, couldn't save me.”

Good news: Lyra transmigrated.
Bad news: She landed in Nagazora City.
Even worse news: She instantly became a loot box, reincarnating as "Lyra-chan."
To avoid repeated deaths after respawning, Lyra had no choice but to activate her unfinished system ahead of schedule, embarking on a journey to grow stronger—starting from soloing Sami’s rogue-lite.

Sitting at her desk, Cynthia was idly flipping through documents she'd retrieved from ancient ruins.
But from her distracted gaze, it was clear she wasn’t paying much attention.

Or rather… she pretended not to believe it.

When news came that the Fatui were mobilizing in force, the Knights of Favonius weren’t about to be outdone.
Every team out on patrol was called back at once.
Chief Alchemist Albedo, the elusive Librarian Lisa Minci, and even the famed adventurer Alice were summoned.
That last detail had been emphasized in Artem’s intelligence:
If they wanted to force the Fatui to abandon the idea of a forced draft, Mondstadt needed to show its full strength.

While waiting for the new Fatui units to arrive, Artem Vetrovski devised a plan to counter the draft.
His answer: use Crepus’s money.
First, during negotiations with the Knights of Favonius, he’d push for Snezhnaya’s recruitment to be peaceful and voluntary.
Then he’d pit Crepus’s funds against Pantalone’s, letting Crepus atone and earn his pardon for betraying Mondstadt.
Satisfied, Artem wrote the plan out in English, and—using a drinking trip as cover...

Hmph, Varka, you shameless old fox. If you can hand out empty promises, then I’ll just have to find my own way.

What was scarier wasn’t disbelief, but the possibility that someone would believe.
If that happened, the accusation of “collaborating with the enemy” would ne...

The deeper they pushed into Whispering Woods, the darker Diluc’s expression became.
