[Genshin Impact] Chapter 482: Beating Down the Eye of the Storm (2-in-1 Chapter)

“So—So powerful!”

Bennett stared wide-eyed at the forest turned into an ice sculpture. Noelle nodded in agreement.

“Rosaria, what are you doing here?”

Nolan looked up at the cold, aloof woman standing atop the treetops, her dark red hair and thorned veil gently fluttering as she lightly stroked her pale, delicate back.

“Overtime,” Rosaria replied, withdrawing her long spear. With a calm expression and a slightly annoyed tone, she crossed her arms over her...

[Konoha2] Chapter 73: Total Concentration — Finally Caught the Red-Eye Disease!

Time quietly slipped by, and it was now November 14th.

Sage Mode training wasn’t going as well as hoped.

Sensing natural energy without the aid of Wood Release was proving quite difficult.

That evening, Hajime sorted through the memories returned by his clones.

He had basically mastered Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall.

As for Water Release, he had also grasped one technique—Water Formation Wall.

This meant Hajime now had two new defensive techniques, m...

[Konoha2] Chapter 72: Sharingan, and the Beginning of Sage Training!

Unknowingly, dawn had arrived.

And with it, Konoha began to awaken.

As for the Nine-Tails' transfer last night—it seemed to have left no trace at all.

That was, in fact, the truth. The barrier had completely sealed off all noise and movement, and the vast majority of Konoha's residents had no idea that the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki had already been replaced.

The sun rose in the east.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Thankfully, it wasn't Hashirama Senju resurrected!

The Nine-Tails let out a sigh of relief.

But... this guy carries his scent.

ROAR!

The Nine-Tails couldn’t help but roar at Hoshita Hajime, stirring up a wild gale that blew his mask clean off.

At least there wasn’t any spit involved.

Hajime glanced at the Nine-Tails, then at the wooden vines restraining it.

He saw that the vines were now sprouting branches and leaves, teetering on the ver...

Mondstadt City, Adventurers' Guild.

Nolan arrived with Noelle and Bennett.

Behind the counter stood Katheryne, dressed in her usual green-and-white outfit, handling commission logistics for adventurers as always.

She still had that same gentle demeanor.

They waited for the adventurer in front of them to finish and leave before stepping up.

“Well, if it isn’t the famous legendary adventurer himself. What brings you back to my counter today?”

[Game] Chapter 248: The Girl by the Pet Shop Window

After school today, Utaha didn’t come to the company with Ichin. Instead, she went to the publishing house to meet with Machida Sonoko to discuss her new novel.

By 6 PM, it was time for Ichin to get off work. Tonight’s dinner was planned outside, so he needed to meet up with Utaha and Machida.

After shutting down his computer and sending a message to Utaha, Ichin left work right on time with everyone else.

He headed down to the underground parking lot, said goodbye to ...

[Game] Chapter 247: New Car and Work Meeting

At the apartment complex, there were naturally parking spaces available. When Ichin's father bought the place, he had already considered that aspect and had even told Ichin that once he was old enough, he should go get his driver’s license.

Now, after a year, that parking space had finally found its purpose.

After parking the car at home, Yagami Kō and Rin Toyama didn’t head back to their own place but instead followed Ichin upstairs.

After brewing some tea and sitting ...

After listening to Ichin's preferences, Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in agreement.

“Hmm~~ If you're not considering Japanese brands, then German cars are definitely a solid choice. There’s not much difference between the major German manufacturers, especially in the high-end segment. But if you're looking for comfort, Audi really is a good option. So? Have you decided? I’ve got a friend in the business—if you’re interested, I can take you to check out some cars tomorrow.”

For Ichin, the road test for his driver’s license was practically a walk in the park. After just two practice sessions to get his feel for the wheel back, he passed the exam in one go.

Once he had his license in hand, he and Utaha started discussing what kind of car to buy.

In the studio, Kō Yagami—who was also learning to drive—walked into the office and glanced at Ichin’s computer screen filled with car listings. With clear envy, she said, “How did you learn so fast? ...

Utaha’s soul-piercing question instantly made Eriri’s face turn bright red.

“Ugh, I… that… um…”

She struggled for a long while, stammering and stuttering, but when everyone turned their attention toward her, she finally gave up.

“I had been keeping my identity hidden really well… but somehow, she spotted me at the doujin event. Then, with just a few words, she tricked me into exposing myself.”

[Konoha2] Chapter 70: First Encounter, Kurama!

Although the elk named Luming was a bit high-maintenance, Hajime agreed without hesitation.

It just meant spending a bit more money. As for the actual work of taking care of it, he didn’t need to lift a finger—his clone could handle it.

Besides, even the Transformation Jutsu experiment didn’t require him to personally act.

Right now, his priority was Uzumaki Kushina.

As for the technique “Calling a Stag a Horse”, its effects were extraordina...

The morning sun rose in the east.

The moment Uzumaki Kushina woke up, she instinctively looked around for Hajime’s figure—and immediately spotted the man sitting cross-legged with his back to her outside the window. She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This person was… different.

Even though the mask he wore looked terrifying, he was completely unlike the other ANBU she’d encountered.

She didn’t know much, but she was incredibly sensitive to peop...

Hajime followed behind Kushina all the way to her house.

Her home was quite spacious, but unfortunately, she lived there alone—so there wasn’t much warmth to speak of.

Instead of entering through the front door, Hajime leapt up to the window outside her bedroom.

As he glanced inside, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity with the scene.

"Uh, pardon my rudeness, Master Ancient One, but with Stephen’s current ability, I’m afraid he won’t be able to open a portal. And given his physical condition, he might even die out there!"

Karl Mordo was deeply worried that Stephen wouldn't be able to open the portal and would freeze to death on the snowy mountain. He had been observing Stephen’s progress over the past few days.

Zephyr frowned. Compete with him for Fischl? Over his dead body.

Even though Fischl didn’t know him yet, Zephyr still said, “I think the Knights of Favonius suit you just fine.”

The knight was slightly surprised. “Eh? Why’s that?”

“Because the Knights offer a stable job. Sure, it’s not as free, but the work is steady, the salary’s paid on time, and they never delay it.

Plus, working in Mondstadt is pretty safe. If you go off adventuring, yo...

Schutz widened his eyes. “Of course we don’t!”

Wagner looked a little embarrassed and said, “Young man, even if you cleared out my entire blacksmith shop, the most you could do is upgrade that sword to around level 40 or 50. And without the right materials, you won’t even be able to break through further.”

"Also, most of them are just ordinary people, low-level. Going into the wild alone would be too dangerous.

Unless they go in teams—but right now, the Knights of Favonius are short-staffed. There's no way to form that kind of squad.

Besides, most knights know it's dangerous outside Mondstadt lately, so honestly, most of them aren’t too keen on taking on field missions."

Paimon muttered, "If they’re not willing to do anything, then what good are they?"

[Game] Chapter 243: Collaboration?

At first, Ichin had no intention of paying attention to Eriri. But her fidgeting grew increasingly exaggerated until even Akane Kosaka, sitting across from them, took notice.

Eriri—or rather, Eiri Kashiwagi, the well-known doujin illustrator in the industry—was someone Akane had been keeping tabs on for a long time. After discovering her true identity, Akane had tried multiple times to recruit her into her own circle, but had always been turned down.

After school in the afternoon, Ichin and Utaha waited downstairs for the fashionably late Eriri. Once she arrived, the three of them left the school together and headed for the studio.

Since they had moved locations, the studio was now a bit closer to the school.

They entered the office building, took the elevator up, and Ichin used his keycard to open the studio door.

Unlike some other companies, Ichin’s studio didn’t bother setting up a front reception desk—it simply...

[Konoha2] Chapter 67: First Encounter with Kushina Uzumaki, an Unexpected Arrangement!

Inside the Forest of Death.

The first one Hajime captured was Nara Taku from the Nara Clan. He was tightly bound and hung up in midair.

Almost instantly, his eyelids grew heavy, and a wave of drowsiness hit him.

“Damn, a genjutsu…”

Taku realized what was happening, but he was powerless against the overwhelming sleepiness. In the blink of an eye, his eyes drooped, and he slipped into a deep sleep.

At that moment, Hajime—having just kicked Mimura Hamaki fly...

Hajime walked on air.

Although he couldn’t yet move as effortlessly as if walking on flat ground, this marked a brand-new beginning.

From here on, he just needed to grind experience with clones, and by controlling the flow of air while airborne, he could eventually move as if on solid ground—entering an entirely new realm.

Only after reaching that point could he begin developing the third stage: true flight.

Landing back on the ground, Hajime was visibly excited. View Post

I was so stupid. Truly!

There was such a simple method right in front of me, and I didn’t think of it at all.

Hajime was filled with regret.

He had been overthinking things too much before.

Of course…

There was still one more doubt lingering in his mind.

Namely, if he was already in the status of “Immune to All Poisons,” would taking a deadly poison still allow him to develop resistance?

So, Hajime asked a rather strange question:

Just after reporting his mission results to Danzō, Hajime was informed that a bounty had been placed on his head.

The one who issued the bounty was most likely Sunagakure, who had suffered heavy losses the day before.

He had to admit—Suna-nin were incredibly efficient.

As for the name Wood Release Emissary... Sunagakure really needed to work on their nickname game.

That night, Ichin and Utaha had a rather in-depth “discussion” about the eternal debate: black stockings or white. After much deliberation, they finally reached a consensus.

Black stockings really were the better choice.

Among the girls they knew, Eriri, Yukino, and Hifumi all wore black stockings. The only one who occasionally wore white ones was Iijima Yun. But Utaha was confident in her own style—she knew how to stand out from the others.

Without interrupting Kuroneko, Ichin called over Umiko and stepped out of the programming department with her.
