Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [105]

“You really didn’t have to accept her, Song.”

“It’s not like I had much choice. Anyway, I already agreed, and she said she'd wait for me at school. Can’t we just worry about it later, Cafe-neesan?”

Manhattan Cafe glanced helplessly at Gotham Song beside her, letting out a gentle sigh.

Well, since it had already been agreed upon, there wasn’t much more to discuss. Besides, that Gentildonna-san certainly seemed much more normal than Mejiro Ramonu.

“Song...

The two descended the stairs together. Truthfully, Gotham Song felt her foot wasn’t actually that big of a deal.

After all, she'd dealt with far worse in the past—never mind blisters; she’d once ripped open wounds with her bare nails without hesitation.

Not with needles—with her own fingernails!

Surely that kind of pain had been far worse than this? Yet whenever she'd insisted previously that it wasn't serious, everyone around her had sternly rejected her claims.

The moment Sunday Silence disappeared before Gotham Song’s eyes, the entire dream seemed to collapse into fragments.

As she slowly opened her eyes, the dark-haired Uma Musume once again took in the world around her.

Though it felt as if she’d been napping for ages, not much actual time seemed to have passed. Gotham Song could clearly see the golden sunlight filtering gently through the curtains, and also—

—the figure sitting motionlessly at her bedside.

Actuall...

“You’re saying... the thing attached to McQueen, something related to me, has now reconnected with me?”

Gotham Song found it rather difficult to imagine. Honestly, she had always thought the world of Uma Musume didn’t have many supernatural elements aside from the Three Goddesses.

Until she’d encountered Neo Universe and Sunday Silence, that is. Hmm, how to put it…?

Actually, by the time she learned about "Phantom Ruka," she was hardly surprised. Compared to ghos...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [101]

And so… just how exactly had things come to this?

Gotham Song couldn’t make heads or tails of it. She lay sprawled on Daiichi Ruby's enormous bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her thoughts tangled in bewilderment.

Just yesterday, in the student council room at Japan Central Tracen Academy, an incident occurred—one which probably hadn’t made waves around the world, but nonetheless was extremely serious.

Well, extremely serious for Gotham Song, at least.

And h...

Human.

A dreadful silence, like the deceptive tranquility of a sea awaiting a tempest, hung over the room. Beneath that calm surface, anger vast enough to shatter the heavens brewed silently.

Jalter’s words had gone far beyond mere provocation; they were an unmistakable act of contempt.

A human—daring to disdain gods?

Every major mythology in the world had gathered here, their representatives assembled at this very table. Yet the one openly scorning them n...

“Besides, that robe of yours seems quite a bit thicker than usual. Normally, you'd proudly show off your skeletal frame, wouldn't you? Is it because winter is approaching? Dressing warmly is good. I heard it’s especially cold where you’re from—it wouldn’t do for you to catch a cold.”

Hearing Jalter speak these words with feigned concern, Azazel, seated beside her, nearly lost his composure.

Catch a cold...? Seriously? Since when did a chief god catch a cold—...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [688]

To better counter the Khaos Brigade, Azazel had maintained regular communication with the various factions. So, when Jalter expressed her desire to meet with the leaders of these factions, Azazel quickly relayed the message.

Naturally, Azazel didn’t possess the influence to gather all the mythological leaders into one room. Just as Sirzechs was a junior to him, Azazel himself was considered a junior among the supreme deities of various pantheons.

However, once these gods discove...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [687]

Georg, Jeanne, and Siegfried hadn't been killed by Jalter; instead, they were taken prisoner and handed over to Azazel.

Although they had long fought against the Khaos Brigade, they still knew precious little about the organization's internal structure—its powerful members, factions, or even overall hierarchy.

Azazel intended to extract precisely this information from Georg and the others.

“Speaking of which, what happened to Pluto?” Azazel lifted his gaze toward Jalte...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [686]

After all the dust had settled, Jalter and the others left the pocket dimension, returning to the Occult Research Club's activity room.

As soon as they stepped out, they saw Azazel leisurely sipping black tea on the sofa, utterly unconcerned.

With Jalter and Ophis around, there was absolutely no risk to their lives, so there was no need to worry—this was Azazel's excuse. But since he was a bit too slow in offering it, he ended up taking a punch from Jalter anyway.

Now, Aza...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [35]

Ziusudra—

Hearing that name, Rovi was genuinely surprised.

This was the immortal who’d survived the legendary Great Flood of Mesopotamian mythology, who had lived since then secluded in Kur—the Netherworld. Even in the Epic of Gilgamesh Rovi remembered from his past life, it was Ziusudra who, in Gilgamesh's final years, had revealed the existence of the herb of immortality, setting the king on his desperate quest for eternal life.

Yet, from Ziusudra�...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [34]

During this period, Rovi rarely left his home.

Yet he knew that although the scenery of Uruk remained unchanged, many other things had subtly shifted.

Since that fateful day when Gilgamesh, Rovi, and Enkidu made their decision within that modest room and began taking concrete steps, the outcome of their discussions inevitably shaped Uruk’s future direction.

Those who lived in Uruk could sense the shift most clearly.

Each morning, as people began their daily tasks, st...

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [33]

To Ziusudra, the hermit of the Netherworld who had survived the ancient cataclysmic flood and gained immortality, meeting Rovi—the one untouched by fate—was an exceedingly important matter.

Not because Rovi had opened the fissure in Kur, allowing Ziusudra to step forth once more.

Rather, because Ziusudra knew that a catastrophe comparable to the devastating flood of old would soon sweep across these lands once again.

And Rovi was pivotal in all this.

He had every r...

“Though it’s just the ramblings of a stray mongrel, this king shall reluctantly acknowledge your idea!”

Gilgamesh paused for just a brief moment after Rovi had spoken, quickly rendering his verdict.

His words sounded harsh.

Yet his expression clearly revealed excitement.

He seemed practically eager to start.

Truthfully, Rovi’s plan resonated deeply with the Hero King's mindset—merely overcoming challenges had never been enough to satisfy Gilgamesh.

Please, Let Me Ascend to the Throne of Heroes! [31]

Ishtar left the room in stunned silence.

She had never expected—

Even when facing the gods' merciless display of power, whether it was Gilgamesh, Rovi, or even that divine-made clay doll, none of them showed even a hint of fear.

Weren't they afraid?

Admittedly, they'd always been recklessly audacious—but now, it was different.

The two mightiest "Beasts" of the Mesopotamian plains—the divine beast, the Bull of Heaven, and the monstrous Humbaba—represented ...

Honkai: Star Rail — New Rider Powers Every Week [105]

The story of Kamen Rider Drive began with a global [Heavy Acceleration] event that engulfed the entire world.

That night, the entire Earth was shrouded by [Heavy Acceleration], a phenomenon later remembered as the [Global Freeze].

Yet, that had merely been ordinary [Heavy Acceleration], slowing down people's movements without freezing them entirely.

Later, the evolved Roidmudes could perform [Super-H...
