[In the following days, because Dianna continued to come looking for you daily, Diancie's dissatisfaction only grew stronger.]
[Even after all this time, it seemed she still had no intention of initiating conversation with you.]
“I tried a new recipe today—how’s the taste? To your liking?”
Elias quietly asked, sitting off to the side and watching as Diancie ate with small bites.
Upon hearing his questio...

When she was suddenly hugged from behind, Diancie jumped in surprise, her small body shivering involuntarily.
But soon enough, she realized exactly who it was holding her.
“Let go of me!”
Diancie squirmed lightly, protesting unhappily.
She hadn’t forgiven him yet, so naturally, she wouldn't just allow Elias to keep hugging her.
Plus, she'd just realized all her earlier efforts had been totally pointless.
Elias didn’t even need to beg her to move tho...

That the [Power of Viridian] would lose effectiveness this quickly was indeed a surprise to Elias.
Dianna had once mentioned to him that her body had been injured by a powerful Pokémon.
Now, it seemed she hadn’t exaggerated; the abilities of that Pokémon were genuinely troublesome.
Yet Elias hadn’t given up because of this.
On the contrary, he felt he might have found a way to heal her completely.
Thinking of this, Elias glanced down at his...

When Diancie heard Elias persuading her, she first froze in place, then felt a wave of disbelief rush over her.
Elias… is siding with Her Highness… and driving me back into my room?!
Clearly, these two were her closest companions, but seeing them side by side, Diancie suddenly felt as though she couldn't read the situation at all.
Not only was she confused, but she even felt a tightness gripping her chest, and her nose began to sting.
She'd never imagined her own G...

Because Sakiko was borrowing the music club’s room, her piano practice was limited to about an hour each day—and today, due to various interruptions, she’d lost nearly twenty precious minutes.
Sakiko reluctantly closed the piano cover. With her practice over, it was now time to return from music to the everyday battle of working for a living.
“All right, let’s go, Kyo.”
She turned to Kyo, who’d been obediently sitting nearby, quietly listening to Sakiko play. K...

Between the time spent buying drinks on their way here, plus some small disruptions after arriving at the clubroom, Sakiko’s already short piano practice today was cut even shorter.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Sakiko placed the remaining cans she’d been holding onto the floor in front of Kyo. She paused briefly, then added a gentle warning:
“Don’t drink too many at once. If there’s anything you can’t finish, I can help bring some over to the bookstore later.”...

In the common perception, Haneoka Girls’ High School had always been characterized primarily by its extremely high university acceptance rate and emphasis on academic excellence compared to other schools.
But that didn’t mean Haneoka was merely some oversized cram school fixated only on academics, ignoring all other aspects of education.
In various inter-school competitions, whether in music, art, or sports, Haneoka consistently achieved top rankings, receiving widespread reco...

Anyway, Kyo had passed along the message she promised to deliver for Uika, so whatever happened next was entirely up to the two of them.
She settled comfortably back into her seat, took out her tiny spray bottle to replenish some moisture, and then carefully tucked the precious little gadget into the small pocket sewn into her uniform skirt.
Then Kyo immediately slumped onto her desk, eyes half-closed, looking as if she was ready to doze off right there in the classroom.

Sakiko gazed at Kyo’s lips, which somehow seemed increasingly captivating to her eyes. A strange impulse bloomed within her—
“Hm?”
Kyo, who a second ago had been proudly showing off her beloved little spray bottle, suddenly felt something gently press against her lips.
It was Sakiko’s fingers—index and middle finger pressed firmly together, touching Kyo’s lips, applying slight pressure, reshaping their softness into an unusual shape.
Then she pushed furth...

“I thought you'd head over to help.”
On the museum's fourth-floor terrace, visitors who grew weary from wandering exhibits could stop here to rest. Drinks and snacks were available, and small shops even sold souvenirs.
At this moment, the elderly gentleman in a neat suit and Nitocris were seated beneath a sunshade. Far in the distance was a battlefield hidden behind a Fuzetsu, invisible to ordinary humans—but clearly visible to these two.

Ammit—the beast dwelling in the underworld of Ancient Egyptian mythology, symbolizing divine retribution and order. Its legend was chronicled in the Book of the Dead, occasionally depicted in murals seated by the side of the god Osiris.
Its name meant “Devourer,” “Bone Eater,” “Eater of the Dead,” and it bore other aliases like “Devourer of Sinners,” “Heart-Eating Demon,” and “Demoness of Death.”
In the underworld, souls were judged according to their sin...

Three Crimson Denizens surrounded the flame-haired girl from all sides.
Her solemn expression was justified—she wasn’t naive enough to underestimate them simply because there were three of them together. The blond boy’s fierce strike moments ago had already forced her to get serious.
She might not know Tiriel or Sydonay, but if these two were even stronger than the blond boy, then her odds in this battle could only be described as pitifully low.

Today, these three delinquents dragged a wealthy-looking young boy into such an alley, beating and robbing him. Their practiced movements clearly indicated this wasn't their first time. They had once feared the consequences, but by now, all they felt was exhilaration.

Time always slips away without a sound—
Japan in May was like an unripe plum warmed by the sun; before it even touched the lips, sourness had already seeped through the fingers.
Along the banks of Tokyo’s Sumida River, cherry petals had long sunk to the riverbed, yet the water still retained faint, rosy memories.
At five in the morning, the first water bus pierced through the thin mist, its wake scattering reflections of tall buildings into fragments of silver.

In the end, Gotham Song realized she had severely underestimated Flightline’s determination—the kind of resolve that made bleeding seem trivial.
What kind of mindset did a horse girl need to say such things?
Truthfully, Gotham Song thought the only time she herself could have uttered words like that was very, very long ago—long before she’d even run the Arc.
At that time, she’d been selfish and powerful, deliberately empty of everything except raw ability. Back the...

Flightline, huh… another completely unfamiliar name. At least Gotham Song had absolutely no memory of this horse girl—not in this life, nor in her past life either.
But still, she felt instinctively that if this filly was someone only she could help, she must be a Uma Musume with considerable potential and an utterly unique personality—otherwise Secretariat wouldn’t have personally taken notice or reached out with this urgent request.
However, like she’d said earlier, Go...

After returning home, Gotham Song felt somehow uneasy.
That strange tension between Mejiro Ardan and Neo Universe still hadn’t faded. Gotham Song could more or less guess Neo Universe’s reason for acting that way. If it were the original her, perhaps she wouldn’t have noticed something like this at all.
Ah, no, or rather—perhaps Gotham Song from before had deliberately chosen not to think about it…?
After all, what Neo Universe had revealed earlier was far too expl...

Like the chaotic prelude of an epic, in the brief ten seconds after the gates flung open, eighteen figures shot forth like arrows loosed from the string, their paths crisscrossing in a frenzy.

As Kitasan Black stepped out of the tunnel into the sudden brilliance of daylight, squinting briefly, the last conversation she'd had with her senpai echoed in her mind.
Or rather, a question she'd suddenly thought to ask.
“Um…Teio-senpai, I have a question. A few days ago, I had a dream and it made me wonder… Before your Japanese Derby, what…what were you thinking about?”
At the time, Tokai Teio—and the other senpai—had paused briefly, startled.

During her final two days of training for the Japanese Derby, Kitasan Black occasionally thought back to that strange dream and gradually started feeling the feverish anticipation surrounding the race.
It was a strange thing indeed.

Even when strolling through town on her days off, she could se...

Today, Kitasan Black suddenly realized training felt very strange.
At first, it was the usual horizontal wall running.
1.9 meters, 1.5 meters, 2.4 meters—these three heights, practiced countless times, were already carved into her bones.
She could control her height even with eyes closed, running horizontally along the wall exactly as Yasui Makoto instructed, rarely ever slipping down again.
But for some reason, this time when practicing at 2.4 meters, the familiar w...

A Luxury Ball—worth at least 30,000 yen even at regular price—was definitely high-class. At least, Satoshi himself didn’t own one.
Not because it was expensive, but because the red-and-white Poké Ball was the most classic!

But now, he'd completely fallen for the simplicity of the basi...
