Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [136]

In the endless darkness of space, a single flash broke through the void, casting its light down.

The artificial sun had long gone dark. But now, radiance once more blanketed the planet.

That gleaming brilliance—like a true sun—scattered every shadow, illuminating everything below.

The white flames burning on the bodies of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry reflected in that glow. Within it, they felt each other’s hearts.

They believed in him, and he in turn acknowledged th...

The King of Tokyo Freeloaders [95]

After a while, Aizono Momo and Shiroi Shiori walked into the Literature Club room together.

When Momo saw Kuroba Akira, she froze for a moment, then sneaked a glance at Shiori beside her to see her reaction.

She was a little afraid Shiori would blow up like yesterday, maybe even throw her shoe again. It was Momo’s first time seeing Shiori that angry, and it had startled her.

As for herself, Momo didn’t really have any bad feelings toward Akira. Yesterday, she’d been su...

The King of Tokyo Freeloaders [94]

Looks like this is the golden age of shounen manga serialization for the “Three Great Min-kou Manga.”

The min-kou in min-kou manga refers to series so widely popular that even busy construction workers with no free time would know them.

The character designs of the Three Great Min-kou hadn’t changed much, but the storylines and developments were wildly different—enough to feel like completely different works.

Which meant Akira could enjoy reading th...

The King of Tokyo Freeloaders [93]

In the afternoon classes, Kuroba Akira slipped his freshly printed outline into the desk cubby and focused entirely on handwriting the main text of Imouto Quest in his notebook.

No one bothered him during class. During the breaks between periods, he just exchanged a few casual words with Fujiyoshi Michio in the seat behind him, and used the rest of the time to keep writing. By the end of the afternoon, he had finished the prologue and half of the first chapter.

Of course,...

The King of Tokyo Freeloaders [92]

So in truth, the Class Rep had seen it all—the hidden danger between Shiroi Shiori and Aizono Momo was something she had noticed long ago.

Looking at it this way, her reason for not stopping yesterday’s conflict… was actually to solve a bigger problem.

…Hm?

So I was being used as the Class Rep’s tool again?

Wait—why did I just say again…?

After packing up the bento boxes, Anri Hitomi stood, pouting.

“But honestly, for Shiori to thin...

The King of Tokyo Freeloaders [91]

“…As expected of the Class Rep.”

In the end, that was all Kuroba Akira could say. This was just so very Class Rep.

Still, he felt her way of seeing things was way too rational… and way too unromantic.

From an adult’s perspective, sure, her reasoning was airtight. But even if it leaves regrets, the kinds of youth experiences you have in high school still become precious memories later.

Isn’t that why so many people look back fondly on their school d...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [115]

Ever since his match with Ichimaru Gin ended, the rest of Nobu’s battles had lost all suspense.

He crushed every remaining opponent in absolute dominance.

Thus, Fourth Division’s Tachikawa Nobu successfully defended the stage, earning twelve wins for his squad.

Added to their original four victories, Fourth Division’s total score shot them up to the front ranks, surpassing the Thirteenth Division.

When Nobu finally stepped down from the arena, head held high, the...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [114]

Ichimaru Gin was seated on a bed, undergoing treatment from several Fourth Division medics. In the same room were Ōmaeda Marechiyo and Saitō Hisaya.

When the two of them first saw Gin being carried in, they were both stunned.

Gin… lost too?

That… couldn’t be. Unless… had Gin deliberately held back?

Ōmaeda couldn’t hold his tongue.

“Ichimaru-fukutaichō… you… also lost to that Tachikawa?”

Gin smiled, eyes narrowing to slits.

Restricted-Class Shinigami [113]

The blade Nobu had swung froze less than a few centimeters from Ichimaru Gin’s body.
Blue streams of reishi filled the space around them, so dense they were visible to the naked eye. In that instant, Nobu felt as if he had fallen into a sea of mud, a massive force driving at him, shoving him outward with all its might.

At full release, a Third-Class spiritual rank’s reiatsu was already overwhelming—and here, the sheer impact of Gin’s reishi alone carried crushing power.

Restricted-Class Shinigami [112]

In the Seireitei, there are three paths to becoming a Captain of the Gotei 13.

The first—pass the Captain’s proficiency examination, witnessed by at least three Captains, including the Head-Captain.

The second—receive the recommendation of at least six Captains and the approval of at least three more.

The third—defeat the current Captain in battle, witnessed by two hundred members.

So bankai is not, strictly speaking, a mandatory qualification.

Of course,...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [111]

Saitō Hisaya’s swift defeat caught countless people completely off guard.
Except for the few Captains and Vice-Captains present, the vast majority hadn’t even seen how Nobu had made his move.

As for the strength Nobu had just displayed—different people had different thoughts.

Some found it perfectly normal. Take Unohana Retsu, for example—she had once witnessed Nobu in action with her own eyes. Though she still didn’t know where his upper limit lay, felling the Sixth...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [195]

As the horizon gradually tinged itself a faint crimson, the sun’s last glow quietly retreated, giving way to the emerging moon.

Thanks to Astolfo’s A+ rank [Riding] skill, their ordinary truck had attained a speed it was never meant to reach. Within less than an hour, Emiya Shirou, Sisigou Kairi, and Astolfo’s Master arrived in Sighișoara.

Unfortunately, Astolfo was also one of their primary fighting forces, so he couldn’t double back after Jeanne defeate...

“If that’s the case, I feel reassured.”

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada showed no displeasure at Semiramis’s rebuke, his face maintaining its usual serene smile.

“Our success or failure now hinges entirely upon this gamble.”

Saying this, he turned slightly to face Semiramis.

“No matter what happens, I leave this place in your hands.”

With those words, Amakusa slowly walked toward the Greater Grail.

“Oh Grail, fulfill my wish—”

“Bring t...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [193]

This was an extraordinary space, filled with inexplicable mystery.

It was as if the space within had been stretched and twisted—though the walls surrounding it were clearly visible, determining how far away they were proved utterly impossible.

What should have been an ordinary room thus appeared incredibly vast.

It was undeniably a marvel.

On the ceiling above flowed water, suspended like a clear lake overhead.

Within this suspended lake, all manner of water li...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [192]

In the grand hall of the Yggdmillennia family's villa, everyone was discussing how to continue their battle against the Red Faction.

According to the familiars' reports, immediately after last night's battle, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had swiftly retreated to Sighișoara in Romania, reclaiming the Holy Church as his base.

Having lost the [Hanging Gardens], the Holy Church was undoubtedly the most defensible position available.

After all, the church was previou...

“It wasn't unjust… this defeat wasn't unjust at all!”

Darnic suddenly erupted into a fit of maniacal laughter, clutching his face, an eerie atmosphere swiftly permeating the hall.

It sent chills crawling down the spines of everyone present.

Jeanne intended to check on Darnic’s condition, but before she could even rise, Darnic spoke again, uttering words that stunned them all into silence.

“Amakusa Shirou Tokisada was summoned by the Einzbern family during the...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [155]

“You want a pair? These [Intent Glasses] are technically also a black market product, just... not something I put out for public sale.”

Tachyon pressed a finger against the glasses’ bridge, sliding them across the counter toward Mizuno.

“Eh? You mean these are for sale?” Mizuno was stunned.

He’d thought something this high-grade had to be a personal tool—something Tachyon kept only for herself.

But no—they were obtainable items...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [154]

Laboratory, the site of the black market.

At this hour, only Agnes Tachyon remained inside. She sat behind the counter, carefully tallying the types and numbers of potions sold tonight, writing the data into her notebook.

For a researcher, data logging was indispensable—the cornerstone of all study. Even something as simple as recording inventory could not be done sloppily.

Tonight’s sale had been a resounding success. In just half an hour, she’d earned enough funds to...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [153]

Late night, beneath the Three Goddesses statue at Tracen Academy.

The moonlight was still, the air cool.

A young Uma girl, wearing her little blue-rose hat as always, hurried over from the Miho Dorm. In her hands she carried something wrapped in a silk scarf, clutching it tightly as she reached the appointed place.

And at once, with a single glance, she spotted the black-clad figure running toward her from the other side.

“Onii-sama!” Rice Shower’s worried expres...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [152]

“Everyone...”

Reading the words of those four Uma—whether sincere, formal, or tsundere—but all, in truth, filled with concern for him, Mizuno’s eyes went misty. Tears spilled before he knew it.

To be cared for so deeply by his Uma—what more could a Trainer ever ask for?

And yet, even so, Mizuno still had no intention of borrowing money from them.

After all, online payment wasn’t popularized in Japan yet. Most transactions were done either by card on site,...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [151]

They call it “labor,” but in truth, it was nothing more than becoming a lab rat stripped of all human rights.

Once he became a rat, what awaited Mizuno Sora would be a future of drinking strange concoctions every single day. At best, his whole body would glow; at worst, he’d be twitching and convulsing all over, unable to manage even the basics of daily life.

So, selling his labor to Agnes Tachyon was the very last resort, something only to be used in absolute desperation. 2025-08-26 07:12:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [560]

[Max Gold Rush]—the [Gigantamax]-exclusive move of Meowth.

Its principle was the same as [Pay Day]: creating giant coins to damage the opponent, and once the battle ended, yielding a huge payout.

Under Jessie and James’s teary-eyed, hopeful gaze, Meowth began trying to unleash [Max Gold Rush].

“Will it actually work?” Blue asked curiously.

August rubbed his chin, looking toward Meowth. “Theor...

Honey summoned the Team Rocket trio to serve as guides.

August watched Jessie, James, and Meowth with a playful expression.

Even though they kept chanting in their hearts we’ve turned over a new leaf, we’ve turned over a new leaf, under August’s gaze they couldn’t stop their nerves from trembling.

“Well then, I’ll be counting on you three,” August said with a smile. “You won’t disappoint me, right?”

The moment he finally spoke, the trio fel...

The Isle of Armor lay northeast of Galar.

From far above, you could see an uninhabited island where plains, wetlands, forests, and deserts all coexisted.

“Was this island really formed naturally?” Sabrina asked.

“There’s no record of human intervention in any documents, so it should be natural,” Blue replied, flipping through the notes in her hands.

At August’s signal, Rayquaza began descending.

As the dragon dove at full speed, the Zinnia clutched in...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [557]

Seeing Mew’s expression, August raised his hand and flicked its forehead with a sharp snap.

I haven’t even held you accountable for that heaven-and-earth-reversing stunt, and you’re the one acting all wronged first.

Having done that, August turned his head to Bea. “Your gift—I really like it.”

Bea beamed with joy. “As long as Shishou likes it!”

When she first heard August-shishou was coming to Galar, she’d agonized for a long time over what g...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [556]

Gardevoir’s body hovered in midair, eyes locked level with the Gigantamax Machamp.

Against the towering forty-meter form of Gigantamax Machamp, Gardevoir looked impossibly small.

And yet, the aura radiating from her—no weaker than Machamp’s own—created a strange, unsettling sense of dissonance.

The two sides only confronted each other for a brief moment.

When the BGM inside the stadium swelled to its most stirring part, Bea shouted:

“Shishou, watch out!...

Pokémon: Breeding Simulator [325]

Diancie’s body jolted, and she tried to yank her hand back at once.

However...

The soft warmth wrapping around her palm pressed gently first, stopping her from pulling away.

At that, Diancie’s heart completely panicked.

She carefully opened her eyes, only to find emptiness before her.

All she could see was her own little hand, still trying to form a diamond, and beyond that, the crowd of Carbink watching from the stands.

Yet the touch that held her hand...

Pokémon: Breeding Simulator [324]

Hearing her Highness’s words, Diancie turned her face aside, still hugging the diamond in her arms.

What the queen said wasn’t without reason…

But with her turn to step onstage about to come, there was no way she could send Elias back now.

And she couldn’t entrust him to anyone else either. The cracks already spread across his surface made her far too uneasy.

“It’s just a diamond anyway…”

She thought that whether she carried him or not, the clan w...

Pokémon: Breeding Simulator [323]

“Elias… that day, was it you…”

In her own room, Diancie lay sprawled on the table, staring at the diamond set before her, whispering the question softly.

Many days had passed. She had tried again and again, but as expected, she had failed to mend the diamond.

Worse still—she discovered in horror that the faint breath of life inside the stone had disappeared.

It was just like an ordinary, lifeless gem now, utterly silent.

That truth shattered her last sl...

Pokémon: Breeding Simulator [322]

Diancie didn’t understand why, all of a sudden, she was being held in the arms of a human.

Toward humans—whether it was her, or the rest of the Carbink in her clan—they always kept a respectful but cautious distance.

There were stories that once, a companion had been lured away by humans with a few sweets, only to be taken to the market and sold off as diamonds.

So in that instant when she saw him, Diancie felt her blood run cold.

Her fear was even stronger than ...
