Exams had never really been a challenge—at least, not for Ichin or Utaha.
Even with others aiming for the top spot in the grade rankings, it didn’t pose much of a threat.
With their steady routine of reading and working through practice problems, the midterm exams a week later went smoothly, and once again, the two comfortably secured the top two positions in the year.
As usual, Ichin was first, and Utaha came in second.
However, Utaha's scores had improved noticea...

Half an hour later.
In the living room on the first floor of the Wonderland space.
When Nolan and Lisa came down, they found that Ningguang had already gathered several key figures—Lumine, Acting Grand Master Jean, Raiden Ei, and Nahida.
They were the last ones to arrive.
"You’re so slow," Paimon, floating next to Lumine, cast a disapproving glance at Nolan.
“It just takes some time to shower, you know.”
Nolan saw there were still empty seats next t...

When they heard Hiratsuka Shizuka call them, Ichin and Utaha exchanged a quick glance, then got up and followed her out of the classroom.
“Sensei, can you tell us what this is about?” Ichin asked.
With her lesson plan in hand, Hiratsuka gave them a rare smile.
“Don’t worry, it’s good news. I’ll explain once we get to the office.”
Soon, the three of them arrived at the staff room. After putting her things down, Hiratsuka led them to a smaller meeting roo...

On Tuesday afternoon, after school, Ichin and Utaha spent some time in the Service Club before skipping a trip to the company. Instead, they drove to the supermarket, bought a bunch of groceries, and returned home.
Half an hour later, the front door opened, and Ichin’s parents returned, dragging their suitcases behind them.
“We’re back!”
Ichin was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Utaha, who was playing with the cats in the living room, happily ran over to ...

With both Ichin and Utaha’s parents off on their trip, life at home for the two of them had become much simpler. Aside from meals and playing with the cats, they now also went downstairs after dinner to hang out with Kō and the others—chatting, gaming, and relaxing—thanks to Eriri temporarily crashing with them.
On Monday morning, as usual, Ichin and Utaha got up early. After a round of exercise and washing up, Utaha went to change clothes while Ichin headed off to prepare breakf...

The bathroom door opened, and as Utaha walked out after washing up, she immediately heard Eriri’s dramatic voice coming from the living room.
“Seriously, am I even their daughter?! They only told me this morning that they were going on a trip—and not just for a day or two, but four whole days! And now I’m supposed to take care of myself?!”
Hearing that, Utaha couldn’t help but crack a smile. She had to admit, she’d never seen someone as pitiful as Eriri right now. It...

“Dumb?”
Utaha turned her head to look at Peppa nestled in Yukino’s arms and chuckled.
“This little one’s just like that—goofy and laid-back. All she does is eat and sleep without a care in the world. I thought the same as you at first, but Ichin said it’s totally normal for orange tabby cats to be a bit dopey.”
“R-Really?”
Yukino lowered her head to take another look. Peppa blinked her big, round eyes right back at her.
Still… she reall...

After leaving the school gates, the group piled into Ichin’s car. Utaha sat in the front passenger seat, while Haruno, Yukino, and Eriri shared the back seat.
Wedged between Eriri and Haruno, Yukino adjusted her posture slightly before commenting, “I still can’t quite believe it… Mom actually agreed to come out for dinner—and even went to the beauty salon, of all things.”
In Yukino’s mind, her mother had always been a stern, unsmiling woman. But the events of this af...

Nolan scooped up a palmful of warm water and gently poured it over Lisa’s chestnut hair, softly smoothing her damp, silky strands.
Hearing Lisa’s question, he thought for a moment and replied:
“...Hmm, I have no objections. It’s up to you all to decide.”
Handing over the blueprints to the Sweet Flower Merchant Association for agency rights meant the guild would handle production and then sell the finished products to Liyue.
With that setup, Liyue wou...

Ningguang took off her long sleeves and placed them on the clothing rack. Then she raised her arms to remove the hairpin securing her long, platinum-blonde hair, revealing a patch of snow-white skin beneath her armpit.
“…Hmm, it’s not like there’s no solution.”
Nolan had an idea for how to address the scarcity of Geo Vision holders.
“Oh? What kind of solution?” Ningguang reached behind her back, preparing to undo the clasp of her undergarment.

When Hajime arrived, Tsunade was cooking—but judging by Nawaki’s expression of distaste, her culinary skills clearly left something to be desired.
The moment Nawaki saw Hajime walk in with food, his eyes lit up. “Sis, Big Bro Hajime brought sake!”
Tsunade glanced back, gave a light snort, then looked at the questionable contents of her pot. Without hesitation, she tossed the spatula aside, turned off the stove, and walked out of the kitchen.

Unknowingly, large snowflakes began falling from the sky.
Hajime didn’t feel cold at all. He continued until dusk, only stopping when Ryo returned.

Hajime nodded and leapt down from the rooftop. “What mission?”
Ryo replied, “We’ll set out tomorrow morning to escort a group of wounded back to Konoha.”

She spread her hands, her face showing speechless resignation, making it clear she already knew Nolan's naughty intentions.

Nolan looked at the descriptions of his new specialties and realized that not only had they fused his previous ones, but the effects had significantly improved.
For example, the exclusive specialty “Beloved by Maidens” still retained the ability to be unrecorded by the world, but its effect of greatly enhancing charm toward girls had been boosted.
Now, making girls develop affection for him had become even e...

Five minutes later, Eriri arrived at the starting line for the three-legged race along with her classmate.
In the crowd, Sayuri Sawamura, holding her camera, shouted loudly,
“Eriri, you can do it!!!”
Hearing her mother’s cheer, Eriri visibly flinched.
Her teammate immediately noticed and whispered, “Eriri, are you nervous?”
“N-Nope! You’re overthinking it. I’m not nervous at all!”

Although her relationship with her mother had improved a great deal compared to a year ago, Yukino still hadn’t expected her to show up at the school sports festival in person.
At the same time, she noticed her older sister Haruno sitting between their mother and Utaha.
Was this Haruno’s doing?
The thought crossed Yukino’s mind but was dismissed within three seconds. Her mother wasn’t someone who could be persuaded that easily.
Even though the distance between ...

As the second-year 100-meter sprint was about to begin, Utaha left the spectator stands with a drink in hand and made her way to the finish line, waiting to greet Ichin once his race was over.
There were already quite a few students gathered at the finish line to welcome their classmates, but as soon as they saw Utaha approaching, everyone instinctively stepped aside to make room for her.
Well, she was the legendary third-year beauty known across the entire school—alway...

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere for the third-years, the first and second-year students were far more competitive. Each of them had their eyes fixed on the main track, fully focused and determined to win.
After the second-year boys’ 50-meter sprint ended, Ichin glanced around and asked, “I’ve been meaning to ask—where did Eriri run off to?”
From the other side, Sayuri Sawamura smiled and replied, “It seems that my arrival made that girl very nervous, so she went off...

Spiral Abyss, Floor 10.
The red moon still hung high in the sky. The ruined remains of the structure had fallen silent, and the ape-like monsters lay sprawled across the ground one after another.
[Defeated Powerful Enemies ×15. Obtained 162,135 Adventure EXP.]
Bathed in crimson moonlight, Nolan looked somewhat eerie—like a menacing villain out of a film.
Glancing at the 840,000 EXP points on his character panel, he nodded in satisfaction. Under the red moon, he exte...

The golden “Sword God of Lumine” flew above Nolan, condensing sword intent into the shape of a large umbrella to shield him from the moonlight.
Instantly, Nolan found himself cloaked in shadow.
He carefully felt the change—yet discovered that the suppression from the crimson moonlight hadn’t lessened at all.
Could it be due to reflections from the ground and surrounding environment? he wondered, glancing down at the terrain.

The domains previously explored by the People of Salt, while now lacking treasure chests, still housed monsters that netted him about 500,000 Adventure EXP.
As for the unexplored domains, aside from the one he initially found in Bishui Plain, there were two more.
These two domains yielded a decent haul.
Among the most valuable were the Adventure EXP gained—he encountered Ruin Guards, Geovishaps, and even some monsters that didn’t appear in the game.

And Hajime had no intention of treating him as one, either.
On the contrary, in his eyes, Namikaze Minato was a highly promising commander.

If one wished to stand tall in Konoha, they needed many allies.
In this world, power and influence mattered.

Level 97 now—what an achievement!
But only a little over 10,000 EXP left... It’d take a bit of time to level up again. Still, “Sword God” was active in the Spiral Abyss, which had tons of monsters, so it shouldn’t take too long.
Nolan thought to himself with joy.
Getting a bit mischievous, he tugged at Jean’s uniform, exposing her snow-white, soft belly, and reached his hand inside.
