Controlling Lumine, Zephyr guided her hands to pick up Baron Bunny.
“What are you doing? I’m warning you—don’t try any funny tricks!”
“One, two, three—go!”
Just like an amateur shot put athlete, he flung Baron Bunny with all his might.
“Hahaha! You’re throwing a toy at me? What are you trying to do?” the strange bird scoffed.
Baron Bunny landed successfully and began to dance right in front of the strange bird.
The man clutched his sto...

Zephyr packed the Baron Bunnies into his bag, then glided forward, dropping bombs as he flew.
Boom!
Explosions echoed one after another. The hilichurls were either dead or gravely injured.
They were so badly hurt that Amber, feeling a bit of pity, decided to end their suffering quickly with a single, clean arrow.
Though Amber was kind to people, when it came to monsters, she was absolutely the Crimson Demon.
After a round of bombardment, the hilichurls i...

"Alright, no problem."
Nolan grasped Hu Tao’s fair hand, taking a moment to feel the warmth and softness, then gently pulled her in front of him.
Activating Spiritual Core once again, the faint glow of Spirituality landed on Hu Tao.
It didn’t take long for Nolan to see which attribute she had acquired:

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Nolan, along with Lumine and Paimon, had come here to find Hu Tao. With Ningguang rebuilding the Jade Chamber and hosting a grand banquet, the master of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was naturally on the guest list.
“Hu Tao, Hu Tao, are you there? We came to hang out with you!”
Paimon flew ahead, calling out.
"Three friends arrive under the vast sky and drifting clouds! What kind of wind blew you all here today?" Hu Tao emerged from within the ...

Back home, Utaha immediately started preparing dinner.
Both Ichin and Kō Yagami followed her into the kitchen, curious about what she was up to. It wasn’t just Ichin who was interested— Kō was also eager to see how far Utaha’s cooking had come.
Watching her slice the beef, Ichin’s initial concern slowly faded. Her movements weren’t particularly fast, but they were steady and practiced. It was clear she had developed a decent level of proficiency.
After observ...

Seeing that Utaha had finally stopped teasing her—the eternally single one—Eriri calmed down a bit and said, “You two sure are having a relaxing day.”
“Well, it is the weekend. We’re allowed to relax,” Utaha replied as she leaned gently against Ichin and looked at Eriri on the screen. “So, what’s up? What’s the news?”
“It’s about Ichin-kun finding a music producer. Mom’s found someone, but they’re currently out of Tokyo, working on an album f...

Chapter 441: Evading the Test
Alan carefully searched through his memories. He had more or less helped Strange avoid the Ancient One’s test. When Stephen Strange first visited the Ancient One, not only was his soul forcibly expelled from his body, he was even thrown into a dimensional space, where he experienced an endless free fall.
It was precisely because Strange personally went through that ordeal that he finally came to a complete awakening and let go of his arrogant und...

By evening, everyone had gradually headed home. Aside from Ichin, Utaha, and Kō Yagami, only Hazuki remained in the studio.
Leaning both arms on the desk, Hazuki struck the classic Gendo Ikari pose, silently staring ahead.
After finishing up in the kitchen and washing some cups, Ichin walked out and noticed Hazuki's odd posture. Curious, he leaned over to check her computer screen—only to find it sitting idle on the desktop with nothing open.

Lumine put her hands on her hips. “It’s fine, I forgive you.”
Paimon muttered, “It was your fault to begin with! They clearly told you to stop. Also, this ‘Strange Bird’—what is that?”
“The ‘Strange Bird’ is a repeat offender in Mondstadt. He always commits crimes using Wind Gliders, which earned him the nickname,” explained the knight.

Absolutely not!”

“That line…”
“It’s from my favorite book. If you’re interested, I can lend it to you sometime.”

Sky Ninja Village.
Inside Yakushi Nonō ’s residence, Hajime Hoshita suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose. “Someone must be talking about me.”
He stood up and stretched lazily as his body gradually sank into the floor.
It was time to relocate to a new hiding spot.
Not long after Hajime left, Kogetsu Daisei appeared in the room.
He wasn’t suspicious of Yakushi Nonō —just acting out of cautious habit.
But after scanning the place, he found nothing ...

Late at night.
A thoroughly exhausted Nonō Yakushi returned to her quarters, only to immediately catch sight of Hajime sitting cross-legged. Her eyes lit up instantly, and without thinking, she rushed forward eagerly. “Onii-chan~”
Just as she was about to throw herself into his arms, she suddenly caught herself, skidding to a stop. Her face turned beet red, and she awkwardly looked at the masked Hajime, mumbling, “C-Captain!”
Hajime’s outstretched hand also froze...

The Sky Ninja Village was in chaos once again!
Hajime’s six wooden clones, empowered by the Steel Body status, were being used like his actual body. With their overwhelming defense, he was virtually unstoppable.
It wasn’t until one clone was countered by Lightning Style that the Sky Ninja found a way to fight back. Relying on sheer numbers and lightning techniques, they managed to eliminate the clones one by one.
However—

Walking through the streets of the Sky Ninja Village, Hajime Hoshita could still sense the lingering fear in the air.
Only one night had passed since the chaos erupted.
And it was all caused by him.
Yet deep down, Hajime didn’t feel even the slightest bit of guilt or remorse.
He had no bonds in this world.
And “bonds” were not some kind of virtuous ideal.

The dinner with Sayuri Sawamura and Eriri went smoothly.
Upon hearing Ichin's request, Sayuri agreed without hesitation and offered to help him find a suitable music producer. The Sawamura family's connections in Tokyo were quite solid. While it might be a hassle to get in touch with top-tier singers and composers, Ichin didn’t need that level of star power—he just needed someone capable of arranging music.
So Sayuri's task was simple: find a skilled musician who could jump in...

Dinner was ready, and everyone gathered around the table, chatting as they ate.
Ichin took a sip of chicken soup, let out a satisfied sigh, and said, “Getting the game on the Switch is basically no problem. They’re actually really eager for us to launch—ideally within six months. Of course, that’s impossible. We’ll just stick to our own pace. By the way, Hazuki, I haven’t checked the sales numbers these past few days. How are things looking?”
“Sales, huh…”

After a night of rest back at their cozy home, Monday finally arrived—it was time to return to school.
However, it wasn’t both Ichin and Utaha who returned; only Utaha went back to class today.
Once Ichin saw that the Persona demo had been completed, he immediately decided to head to Kyoto on Monday to meet with representatives from Nintendo. His goal was to present the studio’s new project and secure a publishing deal for the game on the Nintendo Switch platform.

Liyue Harbor.
The sky was painted in hues of dusk, marking that an entire day had passed since Nolan and the others had departed for their mission and now returned.
As they left The Chasm, following Dainsleif’s advice, they destroyed the machine the Abyss Order had failed to take with them—the one capable of amplifying the spring water's effects.
After that, Dainsleif departed, taking with him a Black Serpent Knight who had just barely retained a sliver of rationality. H...

Just as expected.
The moment the Thunder element swept across the Dendro Seeds, they seemed to be fitted with miniature electric motors, transforming into tiny green missiles that launched themselves at the sword-wielding Black Serpent Knight.
The power of an elemental reaction is proportional to the user’s strength, and this applied to the Dendro Seeds as well.
Nolan was far stronger than the Black Serpent Knight—just one Dendro Seed was enough to cause it serious troub...

Even if she had gone, even if she’d been lucky enough not to run into any monsters, it would’ve been nearly impossible for her to gather that many mushrooms.
She didn’t have Elemental Sight, so her gathering speed couldn’t even begin to compare with Zephyr’s. And she also lacked the convenience of the system inventory.
A hundred jin of mushrooms? There was no way a little girl like her could carry that.
At most, she could collect a little over ten jin in o...
