Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [21]

“Ehhhh?!! Hikigaya-san?! You came to Jimbochō too?!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a look of surprise washed over Aoyama Nanami's youthful face. Realizing she'd just blurted that out, she hastily covered her mouth, her pretty face reddening slightly.

“‘Too’?”

“Ah!”

Blinking twice rapidly with her clear, bright eyes, Nanami’s cheeks took on a deeper shade of pink, her palms inexplicably sweating.

In fact, she'd already noticed Hikigaya Ry...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [55]

Rovi knew Gilgamesh was only trying to help him—

Even though that foul mouth of his was incurable, it wasn't hard for Gilgamesh to recognize that the descending black mud was a divine curse, a terrifying fate awaiting anyone who touched it.

Gilgamesh was acting out of his own will, determined to save Rovi.

After all, he was the true King of Uruk, the sole ruler of all above heaven and below it.

If a king couldn't even protect his own subjects, what right did he have ...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [54]

As the deity closest to the primordial state among all existing gods, Heavenly God Anu knew exactly what the object in Rovi’s hand represented.

An artifact born from the very formation of the stars—older even than the original gods themselves. It embodied the divine authority of [Ea], a godlike conceptualization of the planetary force that once churned, cracked, and stabilized Earth's primordial surface of molten rock and turbulent atmosphere.

A sword truly ca...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [53]

Just as Rovi, Gilgamesh, and Enkidu had initially planned in that modest room—

They had divided the gods above, and conquered them.

And now, the very god obstructing Anu, King of the Gods, was precisely the deity they had targeted to sway from the beginning:

The Sun God Shamash.

He was the astral embodiment of the sun cast down into Mesopotamia, the deity who ruled over radiant daylight.

Yet beyond his divine identity, he was also Gilgamesh’s great-great-gran...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [52]

The gods fell silent.

After hearing Rovi’s words, they were indeed furious—enraged beyond belief. But beneath these mortal-like emotions born from humanity’s faith, they also felt an uncontrollable admiration.

After a moment’s silence, the heavenly god Anu opened his eyes once more:

"A sage, indeed... At first, when we granted you the [Key of Heaven], it was merely because we believed you might guide Gilgamesh along the path we desired."

"But c...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [51]

To become Heaven’s vessel.
To overturn Heaven and Earth itself.

To manifest the Heavenly Realm into the mortal world.

Such a thing sounded utterly absurd.

Yet, in theory, it wasn't impossible. The Heavenly Realm, after all, was an illusory space formed from the interwoven authorities of countless gods—an intangible reflection of their divine essence.

If gods could inhabit mortal vessels, then logically, the Heavenly Realm—sharing their nature—could do the sa...

Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [5]

Hoshino stared at Gorilla Sakura sitting in the spot he had conned out my Walking Wallet, and felt an almost irresistible urge to throw this self-proclaimed “manly man” straight out the window.

Who the hell wants thanks from a lunatic like you! A brain full of nothing but muscles—don’t block me from my studious deskmate… huh?

Thinking carefully, sure, Walking Wallet is a genius, but during the Chūnin Exams he cheated using the Sharingan, didn’t he?

Naruto, that ...

Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [4]

That shameless balding principal, calling himself “respected and venerable,” pulled forward Gorilla Sakura, body wrapped in bandages, face swollen like a pig’s head.

“This student, covered in wounds from shuriken and kunai—before this sacred entrance ceremony began, he violently assaulted a future classmate!”

After roaring, he pointed at Sasuke, standing perfectly intact beside them, with only a tiny band-aid stuck on his cheek.

“Look, look! This poor child was...

Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [3]

From the “Ino–Shika–Chō” trio to that chuuni brat, Hoshino had already figured it out—there weren’t many normal people in this class. Before he could even analyze which wires in everyone’s brains were crossed, a young man walked in, a long scar across his nose, roll book in hand.

The instant he entered, the classroom fell silent. Sure, the brats were just quiet out of curiosity, but Iruka still smiled in satisfaction, walking to the podium to write his name on the board.<...

Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [2]

It hadn’t even been that long—at most half an hour since the first kids arrived—yet little cliques had already formed.

When Hoshino walked in, he still received some friendly looks. But the moment Naruto followed behind him, those looks all turned strange.

Among the gazes, there was one especially odd. Full of hostility—but bizarrely, not an ounce of malice.

“You, the fox demon who leads people astray—how dare you come to the ninja academy too!”

“Ah, it...

Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [1]

First day of school. Almost every brat had parents escorting them.

Why almost and not all? Because there were two who came together without any adults.

The moment Hoshino and Naruto approached the school gate, the parents lingering outside—unable to enter but waiting for their kids—instantly turned hateful eyes on them, full of disgust and contempt.

“…”

“Lift your head.”

“But…”

“Lift it!”

Hoshino didn’t waste time co...

A Rider Doesn't Need a Youth Romantic Comedy [7]

About ten seconds later, Princess Syalis emerged from the laboratory.

Aside from the huge pair of scissors she originally carried, she now held a wing covered with glossy black feathers.

That’s right: the kind and gracious Princess Syalis had generously left the foolish researchers one wing.

After all, one wing’s worth of feathers was enough to fill a pillow.

“I’m going back.”

Princess Syalis eagerly put away her scissors, clearly impatient to return an...

Reject Me, You Vile Woman! [76]

“May I ask what Headmaster Sorgana called me here for?”

Linen asked. The Artificer's Exam had ended long ago, and both the academy and the imperial palace had already bestowed their commendations. It seemed unnecessary for Headmaster Sorgana herself to call him here again.

“Hehe, it's nothing important. I'm just here to congratulate you, Linen.”

Sorgana rested her elbow on the desk, supporting her chin, her glasses reflecting a shrewd white glare.

“Congratula...

Hu Tao Is Monetizing My Existence. [295]

Seeing the scene below, Ningguang’s heart steadied a little. When she saw everyone had taken shelter indoors, she sharply shouted out:

"Qianyan Formation! Activate!"

Her voice echoed high above Liyue Harbor, overpowering the roaring thunder, the howling wind, and the raging downpour.

Golden radiance erupted forth, and a massive formation disk rose into the sky over Liyue Harbor.

"Millelith! Assume positions!"

“Yes!”

The resounding clang of spears stri...

Hu Tao Is Monetizing My Existence. [294]

Aether’s luck wasn’t bad—at least none of the stones raining down from above smashed onto his head, or else he would’ve been forced to say goodbye right here.

He looked up helplessly at the two figures impossibly battling it out midair, shook his head with a sigh, hoisted Childe onto his shoulder, and moved to a safer place—lest this captive just suddenly drop dead.

Rosalyne had no intention of dragging this fight out, only wanting to escape as quickly as possible. Osial...

Signora’s gaze fell upon Jiang Bai, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes. “Oh? To think you've grown this much since last we met.”

“What can I say—I’m a genius, after all.” Jiang Bai flashed a mock-narcissistic grin, but the vigilance in his eyes didn't relax even a fraction.

Although he'd never fought Signora properly, he could tell from their brief clash at Mondstadt’s cathedral—she was far stronger than Childe.

Not in skill—just purely, overwhelmi...

“Your strength’s not bad—I underestimated you.” After dozens of exchanges without gaining an advantage, Tartaglia swept his hand and donned his mask.

“If it were any other time, I might’ve enjoyed fighting you. But right now, I’m getting serious.”

Purple lightning flickered across his body, and a spear formed of entwined electricity and water appeared in his hands, a dangerous aura spreading around him.

“Heh. Compared to Signora-san, you’re way weaker,”...

Hu Tao Is Monetizing My Existence. [291]

People's hearts are never satisfied. They preserve their perfectly intact bodies, hoping they might one day return to life, enjoying another lifetime of worldly riches.

This jade cicada, placed upon the tongue, symbolizes just that desire: the soul’s immortality, rebirth, resurrection.

If that were all, it’d simply be superstition, harmless enough. But some refuse to stop there.

There have been wicked sorcerers who, seizing upon the greed of the wealthy, set up dark ritu...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [206]

“Why?! Why?!”

Even as the spiral-haired Uma was dragged from the dorm building by the security team, she still couldn’t figure out why the officials had arrived so quickly this time. It made no sense at all!

She’d heard from older Uma at the academy before that whenever an Uma Siege happened, official personnel would always take at least an hour to arrive—giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy their trainers. That’s exactly why she’d joined in.

But this time, ...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [175]

Fenille peered through the medical pod’s transparent cover, gazing down at the sleeping Sora.

At this moment, Sora remained motionless, deep in an unnatural slumber.

“Did I give him a bit too much?” Fenille muttered uneasily.

That tranquilizer was strong enough to topple fierce cosmic beasts with ease.

Even mere skin contact would incapacitate an ordinary human immediately—yet she had directly injected several milliliters into Sora’s bloodstream.

She fe...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [174]

As the saying goes, whatever you do, never provoke a woman in the midst of her rage.

Otherwise, you might end up just like the insect before Sora.

Just as pitiful…

Indeed, “pitiful” was the only suitable word Sora could find for the unfortunate Swarm King that had suddenly appeared before him.

Originally, its body had been slender and agile, reminiscent of a praying mantis. Now, however, Titania had already torn off its crystal-like forelimbs, casually tossing th...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [173]

The great Tartaro evacuation was a long-prepared plan.

Anyone who saw those continuous, alarming notifications popping up on their phones couldn’t help but panic.

Thus, the inhabitants of Tartaro had long prepared their ships.

But because the IPC hadn’t given the signal, none dared to depart.

The IPC guarded this planet. Without their order, who would risk plunging headlong into space infested with swarms?

And within the IPC, Jobs had personally shouldered al...

Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [20]

Time flew by. Before he knew it, the second weekend since Hikigaya Ryōhei had begun working part-time at the convenience store had arrived.

Having received this week's wages, he once again had a day off.

Unlike Aoyama Nanami, Ryōhei wasn’t pushing himself to the brink, squeezing every last minute for part-time jobs. Honestly, that girl’s exhausting lifestyle worried him—perhaps he should find time to give her a proper talk. Dreams were admirable, but blindly chasing them t...

Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [19]

Tōma Yōko—world-renowned pianist, mother of Tōma Kazusa, twice-divorced, with a private life so messy it hardly invited praise.

Back when her daughter had been young and impressionable, Yōko had eagerly played matchmaker between Kazusa and Haruki… But considering her own disastrous romantic record, her "guidance" on her daughter's first love obviously hadn't produced anything positive.

Half a year ago, moved by pity for Kazusa’s lifeless marriage, Yōko had arranged a �...

Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [18]

Tōma Yōko understood her foolish daughter well.

Unlike her, Kazusa still believed in romantic things like love. Yōko, twice divorced and still living a chaotic life, inwardly sneered at this—but never shattered her daughter’s pure illusion…

Regarding matters of love, Kazusa could be childish, stubborn, and sulky beneath her mature exterior; she carried a childlike, pure heart.

Not only in love, but in all aspects—contrasting her exceptional beauty, Kazusa was also...

Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [17]

On his walk back home, Hikigaya Ryōhei couldn’t help but smile as he recalled Aoyama Nanami’s shy, nervous expression when she'd confessed her dream earlier.

Having been a teacher in his previous life, he was quite familiar with the psychology of kids around her age. He'd understood almost immediately after the girl had anxiously started speaking.

So, it turned out she’d been worried he might think badly of her for taking multiple part-time jobs.

Well, children of her...

“Excuse me! Can we get some extra soup, please?”

After chatting with Hikigaya Ryōhei for a bit, Miura Kōzō, who'd quickly finished his noodles, called out to a nearby server.

“Coming! Please wait a moment.”

A petite server hurried over with an oversized tray in hand. Surprisingly, the voice that answered was gentle and youthful, obviously belonging to a teenage girl of around fifteen or sixteen.

Both middle-aged men immediately noticed, by voice alone, that ...

Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [15]

Miura Kōzō and Hikigaya Ryōhei had always gotten along well. From elementary school all the way through middle school, they'd been classmates and best friends.

Later, Ryōhei was admitted to Tokyo Gakugei University, while Miura Kōzō took the school's employment recommendation and joined a medium-sized foreign trade company. From that point onward, they didn’t see each other as often, yet they still maintained a close friendship, regularly checking in with one another.

Ever...

Uncle Hikigaya is Forever Young [14]

A parental divorce heavily impacts a child.

This was an absolute statement.

The most significant impact was: it made the child feel abandoned.

The younger the child, the clearer and sharper this feeling became.

On the surface, Komachi appeared cheerful and unaffected, but inside, she felt exactly this way.

She always vividly remembered in her dreams the day her mother left home—a rainy day.

On that day, her mother had come home from work like always, and ...

“Father, this is the salary from my recent part-time job, a little over forty thousand yen.”

After dinner, Hikigaya Hachiman knelt formally before Ryōhei, offering up an envelope.

“Oh, you've worked hard. Planning to continue with the job?”

“Well, school starts in a week, so...”

“Then just rest at home. Keep Komachi company—you two should go out and have some fun during the last few days of vacation.” Ryōhei waved his hand and pulled out a Fukuzawa ...
