Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [143]

“Sora-san, is this because you failed to handle some interpersonal relationships... and so problems came up?”

Kafka looked at the man before her, her words carrying clear implication.

Earlier, Elio had given her a mission: Guide this man before her to Zieltworth.

Because of that, Silver Wolf had dug into some background.

Even though all records of him before were impossible to trace, what happened to him on Planet Promia was... quite interesting.

“Exactly as the words say. With his help, we broke free from the shackles of the Empress!”

The more Firefly listened, the more her mind went blank. Stop, stop, stop!

What the hell had happened?

“You didn’t feel it?” Chenyu was a little surprised.

When the Empress was resurrected, every single one of them had felt that trembling deep in their bloodline.

Some had even been dragged into Titania’s perspective through the resonance between bloodli...

Heliobus — that was the name of a race within the galaxy.

They were pure energy beings with no fixed form, capable of parasitizing other species.

And when they revealed themselves, they usually appeared as a cluster of flames before a living creature.

That was also why they were called the Shapeless and Starfire Essence.

In the galaxy, Heliobi often enacted various scenes and phenomena.

Across the universe, such a sight could only be described as an al...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [120]

Shiba Isshin had no objections to the idea of sparring matches between two divisions. After all, the full Gotei 13 exchange meet had already been held.

It was, in truth, a good thing—strengthening ties between squads, bringing some liveliness to both Fourth and Tenth Divisions. After three consecutive days of the exchange meet, there were probably plenty of squad members itching for a chance to show off on stage.

But after agreeing, Isshin told Nobu he wanted to talk about somet...

Nobu didn’t know exactly what the Kotetsu sisters had said after he left, but he could guess it was certainly about him.

After all, Isane’s affection score had suddenly jumped to 78.

And Kiyone’s was now at 53—an unexpected bonus, though thinking about it, it made sense.

In the original storyline, Kiyone admired Ukitake to the point of near infatuation.

Now that Nobu had cured the lung disease that had plagued Ukitake for so long, Kiyone naturally felt a deep g...

Compared to her older sister, Kotetsu Kiyone’s temperament was far more lively and outgoing, always with that big, careless air about her.

And because the Fourth Division’s vice-captain was her sister, she came here often enough, coming and going without much restriction.

Like Isane, she didn’t live in the division barracks, but had her own home in Seireitei. Today, with the exchange meet leaving her with no extra work, she’d left the Thirteenth Division early and come her...

On the way back to their barracks, the members of the Thirteenth Division walked together.

Shiba Kaien seemed to have something on his mind.

“What are you thinking about?” Ukitake asked suddenly.

Kaien smiled at the question. “Nothing.”

But after a moment of hesitation, he added, “I was just wondering… if what Nobu did today might cause some trouble later.”

“Don’t worry,” Ukitake reassured him. “It’ll be fine.”

The fact that Hokuza...

What does he mean by that?

Could he be hinting… that he wants me to take the position of Third Division Captain?

Nobu’s mind turned the thought over.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t all that surprising. The strength he had shown in the arena today was already at Captain-class; in that respect, he was entirely qualified.

And the talk of Ichimaru Gin becoming Third Division’s captain was still only a rumor circulating among the Gotei 13’s higher ranks...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [200]

“AAAAAHHH—! [Trace—On]!”

Shhhhk—!

The cold gleam of a blade flashed before Emiya Shirou like a crescent moon.

With a sharp sound of flesh being sliced open, a perfectly projected katana slashed through his own arm and embedded itself into the ground.

Blood spilled from Shirou’s arm, dripping steadily onto the broken stone beneath him.

Black veins, like venomous serpents, surged from the wound, rapidly spreading upwards as if ...

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM—!

Countless magical beams roared from every direction, each shot precisely tracking Emiya Shirou’s position.

The pencil-thin rays exploded violently upon hitting the ground, sending devastating waves of heat and flames surging outward, consuming everything in their path.

The earth turned scorched and blackened.

Houses and buildings were reduced to rubble by the merciless barrage.

Even Astolfo, soaring far above, felt the scor...

Astolfo sharply whistled.

A piercing screech instantly replied, and a shadow descended swiftly from the distant sky, resolving into a magnificent beast—its upper half was that of a griffin, while its lower half resembled a powerful steed with razor-sharp hooves.

This was the Hippogriff, a beast born of a griffin and a mare.

Legend had it that Astolfo had once rescued this impossible creature from an evil sorcerer.

Indeed, the Hippogriff was a being that should...

“Now this is quite the welcoming party!”

Sisigou Kairi tossed the cigarette from his hand to the ground, grinding it beneath his heel. Hearing the chaotic commotion at the city center, a crooked grin formed at the corner of his lips.

Watching as hundreds of Dragon Tooth Warriors flooded towards them, Sisigou calmly drew a horizontally-barreled double shotgun from his jacket.

He might not have been able to face Heroic Spirits directly—but did that mean he couldn't handl...

It wasn’t long before the night finally descended.

The bright moonlight fell upon the earth like a gentle silver veil, softly illuminating the few feather-like clouds drifting across the sky, making everything appear tranquil and graceful.

A few streaks of light flickered across the heavens, like meteors gracefully slicing through the darkened sky.

Beneath the moonlight, the Holy Church was eerily silent—not even a whisper of wind disturbed its stillness.

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [562]

August had no idea that because of the roster he’d submitted, Lance was now gripped by a sense of crisis and had resolved to undergo a round of intensive training before the World Championship began.

As for August himself, after handing in that list, he only felt lighthearted and refreshed.

Blue and Sabrina exchanged glances—both could read the thought in the other’s eyes.

Rose, of all people you could’ve messed with, you just had to mess with August.

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [125]

Yasui Makoto had vaguely noticed the subtle emotions among the "Gold family" Uma Musume.

But seeing how Kitasan Black and the others were deeply immersed in the festive race-day atmosphere, completely unaware, he pondered briefly and chose not to say anything.

After leaving the lounge, they took their reserved seats near the front of the audience stands. After watching the earlier afternoon races, the instant Gold Ship appeared in the parade ring, the entire group of Uma Musume er...

Standing beside Yasui Makoto was an Uma Musume with golden hair, her demeanor chilly and edged faintly with authority—it was Orfevre.

When they'd decided to attend the Tenno Sho (Spring), Yasui had casually mentioned the plan to Orfevre the very next day.

Unexpectedly, she immediately declared without hesitation that she'd come along.

"It'll be good preparation for the upcoming training race," she'd said. "I'd like to take this chance to observe Kitasan Black."

Everyone readily agreed to Orfevre’s request. Ending the call, Yasui Makoto pondered briefly, then made a video call to Kitasan Black.

“Hello? Good evening, Kita-chan—”

Seeing the familiar face appear on-screen, Yasui Makoto froze momentarily after his habitual greeting.

“…Are you taking a bath?”

“Good evening, Trainer-san! Yep, I’d just finished drying my hair when you called.”

Drops of water trickled from her chin onto her pajamas as Kitasan...

Upon hearing Tokai Teio’s question, Deep Impact paused for a moment.

“Kitasan Black, huh…”

She looked toward Tokai Teio. “President, how do you see her?”

“...Why suddenly ask this?”

Momentarily surprised, Tokai Teio quickly broke into a smile.

“Kita-chan, huh… I'd say she’s like the sun—or rather, an ever-burning flame.”

Deep Impact pondered briefly. “She sounds...energetic and cheerful?”

After the explanation, seeing Kitasan Black and the others staring blankly, Duramente waited a few seconds before nodding and turning away.

“Excuse me then. Kita-chan, Crown—you two hang in there.”

Only after Duramente's footsteps faded into the distance did Satono Crown let out a deep breath at the dining table.

“Duramente…she’s really putting in the effort. Alright then—!”

She too stood up, holding her tray.

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the vibrantly green-clad figure of Tazuna-san walked into the cafeteria.

Just after stepping inside, she immediately noticed several Uma Musume sprawled lazily at a table near her right side. Among them was Akikawa Yayoi, leaning back contentedly in her chair with a bloated belly and an expression of utter satisfaction.

"So satisfied~! Deciding to drop by the cafeteria today was definitely the right choice!"

Kagura felt as if she had inadvertently become like one of the cafeteria aunties.

Once she and Maruzensky returned with their groceries, Kagura naturally dove straight into the kitchen to start cooking. With nothing else to do, Maruzensky simply sat down by the cafeteria, near the kitchen side, waiting patiently for the meal.

If it were just Maruzensky, that would've been fine. But when Kagura came back to the stove carrying several claypots, she glanced outside through the kitche...

“By the way, Kagura-chan, have you already decided what to cook for lunch?”

Due to exhaustion last night, Kagura's sleep was unusually deep and peaceful.

What Kagura found incredible was that even though she'd slept so soundly, she still woke up at her usual time. Glancing at the clock, she realized she even had time to head to the cafeteria to make Rudolf ojou-sama some breakfast.

"Why…? Ah, that's right…"

When Rudolf opened her eyes and saw Kagura standing by her bedside once again, she momentarily froze, then recalled she'd handed Kagura the ...

After finishing their training run, Nature immediately let out a regretful wail. She'd planned to demonstrate her seniority to Kagura but ended up getting fried like a fish instead.

On the racetrack, Kagura and Nature had already taken their positions. Standing beside a horse-girl-shaped signboard next to the track, Tojo Hana announced the conditions of the course.

Rudolf and Maruzensky had halted their training to join the spectators, watching this so-called "friendly" practice race with evident interest.

"So, the trainer turnover rate is actually this high…?"

Not much different from the technical seminars Kagura had attended in her previous life, this lecture gave her a clearer idea of what trainers actually did on a daily basis—and the current shortage of trainers at Tracen.

Every year, a significant number of trainers were hired, yet there was still a shortage. The reason wasn't danger—at least Kagura didn't hear of anything she would consider truly dangerous. To her, the ...

This dorm was a double room, but Kagura hadn't seen her roommate yet. She wasn't sure whether she just didn't have one for now, or if the roommate simply hadn't returned in ages. The other bed had neatly folded bedding—but it was covered in a thin l...
