“Satoshi…”
Kagura Hikari stared straight at him.
So different from her cold exterior, her gaze burned hot, unblinking, fixed only on him.
Not on the Pokémon facing off in the arena—only on Satoshi.
“It’s been five years and 214 days since we last spoke… and you really haven’t changed at all.”
She murmured to herself, satisfied, her eyes dropping to the Beartic-shaped wallet at her waist, then back to the boy not far away. A small, nearly imperc...

“Lost… Thank you, Little Guren, you did really well.”
Karen walked up to Armarouge, crouched down, and sprayed a [Potion] onto its body.
[Nuzzle] really is a god-tier move~~ guaranteed paralysis, the gold value is way too high.
In the games it even breaks [Focus Sash], and it’s so much better than [Thunder Wave]’s shaky 90 accuracy.

Satoshi hadn’t expected to suddenly be hugged—especially not by a girl who looked at him with the familiarity of an old acquaintance.
Honestly, compared to things like this, what he wanted far more was to battle. With something like Armarouge standing right in front of him, how could he possibly hold back that urge?

Alicetaria recognized Van Gogh… her tone, her expression, everything conveyed that fact.
Van Gogh was surprised at this, tilting her head.
“You… know Van Gogh? You know this Van Gogh?”
“I heard about you from the Military Uniform Princess.”

The night was like ink.
Night was meant to be quiet. People, tired after a day’s labor, should have long since sunk into dreams, saving their strength for tomorrow’s work and life. Even those night owls whose energy only awoke after dusk would, unconsciously swayed by the silence of the night, try their best not to disturb others’ rest.
But tonight—tonight was noisy, tonight was chaotic.

As long as I begin to paint, I sink into it.
Paint like rivers, paint like starry skies, paint like fresh blood—
all of it, splattered across the canvas.
With the brush, I sketch out the world in my mind, call it forth again, let the imagined world corrode the real one.
As if someone were watching this painting.
As if someone were holding my hand, guiding the brush, spilling the ink.
My hand moved on its own, moving faster than thought, moving ahead of the brain.

It was a small room, but full of an atmosphere of art.
The room wasn’t dirty, but it was somewhat messy.
Oil paintings, watercolors, ink wash paintings, sketches… each piece carried its own special resonance. Even someone who didn’t understand painting would still, unconsciously, let out an exclamation of awe, calling them works of art.
And yet, no one tended to them. They were simply tossed on the floor, the bed, the desk—left scattered like waste paper instead of b...

The refugees who had just been fleeing stared in speechless shock.

Of course, although Rovi had deliberately wanted to irritate Gilgamesh for his own twisted amusement, what he had said wasn’t a lie.
At first he truly hadn’t known that the “beast” falling from the heavens had begun showing abnormal signs. It was only when he was returning from his envoy mission, passing through the eastern plains of Uruk, that he sensed something amiss.
And once he sensed it, Rovi naturally couldn’t ignore it—

If you counted carefully, Gilgamesh and Rovi actually hadn’t known each other for very long.
And yet, it felt as though they had gone through so much together.
No—not just felt. They had experienced much.
And many of those things were ones the King himself had never experienced before.
So of course, he was pleased.

One had to admit—Ziusudra’s method was, in truth, correct.
He could not know the reason Rovi refused his “protection,” but neither did he stubbornly press the issue. After all, this immortal who had endured across ages understood well—if he forced himself upon someone, he would only stir resentment.
That would be counterproductive.
Yet to both honor Rovi’s will and still guard him seemed nearly impossible.

Having successfully “sent off” Ziusudra, Rovi lingered in place for a moment, not rushing to immediately follow after.
He wanted Ziusudra to go first.
To keep distance between them.
To reduce the chance of influence—or rather, trouble. Of course, Rovi also had no plans to return to his residence, lest Enkidu “cling” to him and cause more wounds of the heart.
So instead, he found a small inn in the city and lodged there for the night.

Nighttime.
The Enlightened Dragon City, which ought to have been swallowed by the shroud of night, was instead ablaze with light tonight.
Countless bonfires rose up within the city, burning in every corner. Orange-red firelight danced across the white buildings, a blazing performance under the curtain of night—tonight’s true festival had begun.

“…Dead for real.”
Lingzhou looked a little speechless at the meaningless observation from her lips.
“A mortal body takes a bullet to the head and dies. Natural. Now the ones blocking the road are gone. We’re in a hurry. Keep moving.”
His voice carried no ripple of emotion. Yet in Seele’s eyes, that very flatness stirred waves.

Allen shifted his gaze away and bent his knees to sit.
Head lowered.
In his view, the table before him had the plate Sylphy already prepared for him—everything was something he liked to eat.
He’d once felt a little embarrassed about it, feeling like a “young master” being served. He’d carefully told Sylphy she didn’t have to, that he could get it himself.
But she’d refused with a smile.

This time, Akira couldn’t even be bothered to put on any act or make explanations.

Kuroba Akira couldn’t shake the strange feeling of being a husband suspected of cheating… even though there was absolutely nothing for him to feel guilty about.
