Girls? I'm Going to Be a Pokémon Master! [30]

“Satoshi, Sakiko, thank you both for your cooperation.”

Some time later, Officer Jenny arrived at the scene.

She had come quickly, flying directly here atop her majestic Pidgeot.

The moment he saw Pidgeot, Satoshi felt a rush of excitement.

He’d heard that in the Galar region, Flying Taxis using Corviknight took passengers across various towns. Recently, Kanto had also experimented with a similar service using Pidgeot, although progress had stalled due to issues ...

"Hmm? ...You really haven’t changed a bit. Raichu, use [Iron Tail]! Milotic, press forward and use [Aqua Tail]!"

Sakiko watched blankly as Satoshi charged ahead, before shaking her head helplessly with a gentle smile.

Milotic swung its elegant tail, unleashing a torrent of water that surged forward like a giant serpent. Raichu followed swiftly, its tail glowing like solid steel as it struck fiercely, aiming to crush any resistance.

“Rai!...

“Yeah… I might’ve pushed myself a little too hard.”

Satoshi paid little attention to the wound on his arm, gently setting Grookey down so it could rest comfortably.

Yet, despite its serious injuries, Grookey immediately stood back up, anxiously wobbling as it looked at Satoshi with eyes filled with concern.

“Pachi! Pachi!”

Satoshi smiled gently, softly stroking Grookey's head with a slightly trembling hand, reassuring it he was alright.

Sakiko stepped...

In his previous life, Satoshi had learned about Team Rocket from the games. Their goal was to capture powerful or rare Pokémon, using them as tools to dominate the world.

But this world, blending reality with Pokémon lore, showed him darker truths hidden beneath the game’s surface.

For instance, Cubone's skull-mask was said to be made from its own mother’s bones.

Every new Cubone meant the death of a mother Cubone!

Of course, such cruelty seemed impossible…

Since the EcoDome was built, most trainers had shifted toward safer Pokémon-catching methods. Ironically, this had actually increased the presence of poachers and Team Rocket members in the wild.

After all, it was easier to act unnoticed when fewer trainers ventured into dangerous territory. Confronting Officer Jenny was too risky.

Officer Jenny belonged to a vast police family, spread throughout the world. Nobody willingly tangled with them, especially given their legendary cani...

Yukinoshita’s Method of Correction [35]

Higashigumo irritably scratched his head. “Look, I’m just basing my guess on the experience of… a friend of mine, combined with the clues we currently have.”

“All of us are only guessing,” Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly, brushing back her hair. “Or do you think your guess is somehow beyond doubt?”

“Fine,” Higashigumo exhaled deeply. “I…”

“You have a friend,” Yukinoshita continued expressionlessly, interrupting him. “To simplify things, let’s...

“Eh?”

As if realizing something, Yuigahama Yui quickly began scrolling through the video. The footage eventually stopped on Sasaki’s dark, unsettling expression as he stared upward toward the third floor.

“Look...” Yuigahama moved the footage back slightly, pointing at the vague silhouette. “From here, there’s no way to tell who’s inside, right?”

“At that distance, it’s impressive enough you can see movement,” Komachi carefully examined the image. “...

When they passed by the Film Club room, Hojo was still drawing.

Sasaki handed Miki the keys to the prop room, instructing her to put the Ao Oni models back and lock the door before leaving.

After Miki gave her assurance, Sasaki left without another word.

Tanaka followed behind, filming. In the footage, Sasaki was walking slowly, seemingly fiddling with his phone.

[Sasaki,] Tanaka asked hesitantly, [are you okay?]

Sasaki suddenly stopped, remaini...

“Hm?” Higashigumo Sugi frowned. “Isn't the prop room part of the Film Club?”

“It used to be,” Komachi explained, “but they started accumulating too many props, so they applied for a separate classroom. Unfortunately, the rooms next to the club were already occupied, so they had to take one upstairs.”

Tanaka took his camera to the third floor and knocked on a door whose circular window had been covered with paper. [Sasaki, are you there?]

There was a ...

“Wow, that hair color looks amazing~!” Yuigahama Yui exclaimed. “Where did you get it done?”

“Matsudo. I went with her,” Hikigaya Komachi replied casually. “But don’t go there; it seriously pissed me off.”

“Huh?” Yuigahama tilted her head curiously. “What happened?”

“The color on the dye chart was clearly closer to ash blonde, but it turned out chestnut-brown instead.” Komachi complained angrily, “I almost filed a complaint against that hairdr...

Don’t Look Back, Megumi Kato [35]

Hearing Sagiri’s voice, almost pleading in its tone, Izumi Yuu felt as if something had stabbed straight into his heart.

Their parents’ sudden accident had turned this sweet and cheerful girl into an introverted shut-in.

Well… perhaps "sweet and cheerful" wasn’t quite the right way to describe Sagiri.

After all, calling an R-18 illustrator "innocent" might be pushing it a bit far.

Nevertheless, the current Sagiri had no one but himself to rely on.

If he h...

Don’t Look Back, Megumi Kato [34]

Sagiri took another sharp sniff, confirming again she hadn’t been mistaken.

A dark shadow immediately fell across her delicate, doll-like face.

Looking grimly at Izumi, Sagiri accused, “Nii-san smells different from when he left. You smell like another girl’s perfume! Plus, you didn’t make dinner for yourself, meaning you ate outside before coming home. You wouldn’t eat alone outside, so the only reason you'd be this late is that you were eating with another girl!”

Don’t Look Back, Megumi Kato [33]

"I'm home."

After escorting Megumi home, Izumi Yuu returned directly to his own house. As usual, he called out while changing his shoes in the dim entryway.

But today was different.

Normally, after his call, the girl upstairs would lightly knock on the floor in acknowledgment.

Today, however, the house remained eerily silent.

Only a faint sliver of light leaked out from the girl's bedroom upstairs, suggesting she was at least present—or had been there at some p...

Don’t Look Back, Megumi Kato [32]

“Ugh… that was so embarrassing! It was my first kiss. Yuu-kun won’t think I’m too easy, will he…?”

In the bathroom, Megumi sank deeper into the bathtub, her face flushed with a charming blush. Her phone rested on the bathtub’s edge.

Beneath the misty water, her fair and delicate figure shimmered faintly, captivating enough to steal anyone’s breath away.

Whether from the heat of the water or something else entirely, the girl’s exquisite face had turned brigh...

Don’t Look Back, Megumi Kato [31]

"It's gotten late. Let me walk you home."

When Megumi Kato and Izumi Yuu stepped out of the shopping mall, Tokyo was already blanketed in the night. There were no stars visible, just the city’s neon glow and bustling lights.

The intoxicating night air carried a gentle breeze, soothing their hearts.

Glancing up at the night sky, Izumi Yuu turned toward Megumi Kato, proposing softly to escort her home.

Hearing his words, a subtle joy flashed across Megumi's eyes, and s...

Arknights: I Became a Mobile City, but It’s a Lobotomy City [60]

The La Mancha Fixer Office was officially established.

Though no requests had yet come in, Don Quixote kept pestering Nearl to tell him stories about Fixers and knights. Nearl, unable to resist his childish persistence, complied with his wishes.

As for Obsidian, he was currently buried neck-deep in work.

He desperately wanted to send Don Quixote to deal with The Great Lake and handle some missions there… but the problem was, Bloodfiends feared water!

Hai had recently...

Arknights: I Became a Mobile City, but It’s a Lobotomy City [59]

Nearl had arrived in The City several days earlier.

Hai's repeated duels with Don Quixote had lasted more than half a month, and during this period, The City had seen tremendous changes.

Preparations by The City Head for the Zwei Association—the Second Association—were nearly complete and would soon open for public registration. The population continued to rise steadily, now reaching approximately twelve thousand. Additionally, mid- to high-level combatants from various countr...

Arknights: I Became a Mobile City, but It’s a Lobotomy City [58]

“A Fixer?”

Hai finished cleaning his spear and raised his head to look at Don Quixote, shaking it slightly.

“I’ve never heard of a Bloodfiend becoming a Fixer without thralls before…”

“Well, there's a first for everything! Besides, wouldn’t that make me the first Bloodfiend Fixer in history?”

Don Quixote patted his blood-forged throne, his excitement unabated.

“And then, wouldn’t they record my legendary exploits into Fixer stories, to be pa...

Arknights: I Became a Mobile City, but It’s a Lobotomy City [57]

Life in the City proceeded in orderly calm. Yesterday’s fierce battle between Don Quixote and Hai remained completely unknown to the general public. The few residents near the building had felt slight tremors, but Hana Association Fixers had swiftly brushed these off as minor earthquakes.

Meanwhile, the Hana Association carefully relocated nearby residents away from Don Quixote’s building to facilitate the ongoing duels.

The second day quickly arrived. At noon, Don Quixote sat...

“Blood…”

Slowly, Don Quixote loosened his grip. His hand came free from the wall, and he opened his eyes, fixing his gaze upon Hai.

He noticed Hai’s hand gripping a weapon, yet Hai didn’t move. Instead, he watched Don Quixote calmly, as if patiently waiting for him to detach from the wall.

For a moment, Don Quixote was confused. But he didn’t dwell on it. If the man before him was truly this arrogant, his first priority was obviously to get off this wall.

Wanna Duel? I've Got the Pharaoh's Deck! [25]

Unlike the previous three Machina monsters, a towering robot painted in bright orange—one not even bearing the standard naming convention—was now summoned by Satomi Shou.

The moment it appeared, it snapped into a precise military salute, pounding its chest with a fist and then sharply raising its palm skyward.

That action seemed to signal something unseen. Immediately, the eyes of [Machina Sniper], [Machina Soldier], and [Machina Defen...
