Motostoke City was an industrial town located in the central Galar region, powered entirely by steam engines.
Even August couldn’t decide if it was advanced or outdated.
Call it advanced—yet who still used steam engines nowadays?
Call it outdated—but it managed to power the entire city on its own.

Inside a hotel room, Zacian sprawled lazily on the carpet, napping. August lay stretched out comfortably on the bed.

The [Dynamaxed] Hatenna bounced around, looking exceptionally lively.
Sabrina: “I caught it yesterday evening while you and Gardevoir were out shopping.”
Actually, Sabrina found the whole process of capturing Hatenna quite amusing.
At that time, she and Blue had just put their luggage in the hotel and were taking a stroll in a nearby garden.
And there they saw a lost little Hatenna, spinning around in circles by herself.
Initially, Sabrina th...

August: “…”
What do you mean, did I do that on purpose? Am I really that kind of person!?
Yet Sabrina’s eyes still flickered with suspicion—not because she distrusted August, but because the cooperation between him and Mew just now was way too perfect!
Zacian had no idea about August and Sabrina’s conversation.
She was decisive. Having mad...

In the boundless darkness of space, a gigantic star was radiating endless light.
Its rays dispelled the surrounding gloom, bringing eternal warmth and brilliance to this solar system.
Far away from this star lay a peculiar planet, its surface seemingly formed of flowing liquid.
When viewed from space, one could even perceive currents gently rippling across its form.
In the wider universe, this mysterious flowing substance had a widely recognized name: Nóēma

Vacation!
Even the mere mention of the word was enough to ignite boundless excitement!
And naturally, the most crucial part of a vacation was deciding exactly how to relax.
Just like that one precious day off after six straight days of grueling work, one always wanted to do every single thing that was normally off-limits.
But back then, the so-called “everything” mostly meant just sleeping in.
After all, sleeping in during the workweek was an impossible luxur...

“You’ve been stuck there for a while already. Anything coming to mind yet?”
Robin’s voice was slightly hoarse. She'd pushed her vocal cords too far, hitting those impossibly high notes, leaving behind some unwanted aftereffects. For a singer, this was practically a career-level mistake—but despite this, she still stared hopefully at the person before her.
That person was, of course, Hoshigaki Sora. But right now, he was occupied with a very troublesome issue.

Sora stood atop the gleaming silver spaceship, his figure utterly minuscule against the boundless void of space.
Yet, contrasted with the shining vessel beneath him, he was strikingly conspicuous.
Armor shaped like a roaring dragon emanated an unruly aura, fiery patterns etched upon its surface never seeming to fade.
This was Kamen Rider Cross-Z.
And the moment he transformed, Sora immediately felt a restless surge within himself.
It was the [Idealistic P...

Blazing sunlight spilled down from the sky, dispersing the chill around his body and bringing a gentle warmth.
When Sora came back to his senses, he found himself already standing here.
A lush green garden, carved sculptures testifying to the presence of a park.
So, who exactly is the one lending me power this time…?
“Aaah~~ Damn you, Sento! Who the hell would come shopping outside on a day this hot!”

——It’s rare for you to get a day off. Take a break today and go out for a bit?
After breakfast, as Kagura cleared the dishes and left the cafeteria with the others, a message suddenly popped up on her phone screen.
Huh? What's up?
Normally, Eclipse-san wouldn’t give random suggestions like this. Today was indeed a scheduled rest day, so Kagura didn’t have any work, but Eclipse suggesting an outing was still quite unusual.

“Morning, Kagura!”
“Morning, Nature. You're unexpectedly early today.”
Early in the morning, while busying herself in the cafeteria kitchen preparing breakfast, Kagura saw Nice Nature—who usually woke up late—arrive surprisingly early today.
“Well...I fell asleep halfway through checking my phone last night, and forgot to cover myself with a blanket, so I woke up freezing this morning…”
Nice Nature sheepishly scratched her head, clearly embarrassed.

When Kagura returned to her dorm room, all she wanted was a quick shower and to collapse into bed—but now she saw something unfamiliar placed squarely in the center of the room, a large, square table-like thing draped in thick blankets. Ardan was crouched down, poking around beneath the cabinet near the window, her fluffy tail waving in the air. Kagura suddenly felt a mischievous impulse to go over and give Ardan’s rear end a playful smack.
“Ardan-san, what’s this thing? And wha...

Despite the small number of participants in this open race, Kagura was surprised by the sheer number of reporters and industry insiders present afterward—far more than at any of the previous races.
Many of the visitors were full of praise for Rudolf Ojou-sama’s performance; Kagura even noticed a few foreigners murmuring appreciatively.
Standing quietly to the side and listening carefully, Kagura gradually understood what the journalists were truly interested in today—the mos...

After Tracen's open house days ended, Kagura’s life finally returned to its usual rhythm: preparing meals daily for Nice Nature and Rudolf Ojou-sama, occasionally feeding freeloaders like Akikawa Yayoi and Maruzensky-san, plus Gold Ship, who dropped by every once in a blue moon.
Lately, another regular visitor had appeared at the cafeteria—Mr. C.B. Though she didn’t show up too often, each time she visited, she always ordered something with radishes. Taro radish cake, pickled radi...

After being relentlessly pestered, Kagura eventually ran another lap with Mr. C.B., but this time she didn't horribly mess up the start, finally giving Mr. C.B. her desired experience of chasing a true front-runner.

Anyone who's watched Mr. C.B.’s races knows one thing for sure—she loves chasing from behind. Practically every race of hers featured a breathtaking comeback from way in the back.
“Haha, those commentators always overanalyze it, coming up with all sorts of fancy theories. Actually, there’s no complicated reason at all—I just suck at starting fast, so I can’t run my favorite front-running style.”
At the starting line, as they warmed up, Mr. C.B. casually chatted with ...

After hiding in the kitchen for quite a while, Kagura waited until the cafeteria had cleared out a bit before she finally dared to come out. Not daring to linger in such a crowded place again, she quickly said goodbye to Curren Chan and her parents, grabbed her basket of sweets, and left the cafeteria.
Before leaving, Curren Chan’s parents asked for Kagura's contact information, though not for casual chatting. Kagura checked the messages afterward and discovered that they actually wan...

No horns? Then make horns—stoke Tiga’s craving to break them.
Even if Tiga “created” those horns, the moment they appeared they counted as Phantylia’s real bodily tissue.
Phantylia couldn’t feel pain through this body woven from the hidden root of the Ambrosial Arbor, yet when the horns were broken, a heart-ripping agony detonated inside her.
That pain struck straight at the soul.
