When Haruno picked up her phone, she immediately broke into a smile.
“Hey, good morning, Shizuka! You awake?”
Shizuka? Hiratsuka Shizuka?
Ichin quickly realized it was the same Hiratsuka-sensei who, like the Yukinoshita sisters, hailed from Chiba. Given how familiar Hiratsuka was with Yukino, it wasn’t surprising she also knew Haruno.
Noticing Ichin’s curious glance, Haruno gave him a playful smile before continuing, “Oh, I see. No worries, Shizuka. Some pe...

Ichin’s secrecy frustrated Aoba Suzukaze, Hajime Shinoda, and Iijima Yun. They declared they wouldn’t prepare any snacks for Ichin during afternoon tea or invite him to join.
Of course, that was just venting. When the time came, they still enthusiastically dragged Ichin along for afternoon tea.
Watching Ichin sandwiched between the girls, Ko Yagami nudged Utaha with a smile. "Not worried?"
Utaha took a sip of her tea, her expression calm. "There’s nothing to be concern...

Around 11 a.m., Ichin walked into the studio, yawning.
"Good morning, everyone."
"Morning, Ichin-kun!" Aoba greeted him energetically and asked, "Did you stay up late streaming last night? How was the press conference?"
"Press conference, huh?" Ichin pulled out his chair, sat down, and thought for two seconds before saying, "Sony is doomed."
"Huh?"
Aoba froze, confused by Ichin’s comment. "I didn’t watch the live stream, but I did watch the replay after arriv...

At 7:30 in the morning, Utaha woke from her sleep and immediately saw Ichin holding her in his arms.
She gazed at Ichin’s face for a moment, then raised her hand to poke his cheek and scratch his chin playfully.
Under Utaha’s playful antics, Ichin soon woke up.
Still looking groggy, Ichin yawned as Utaha greeted him with a smile.
“Good morning, Ichin. What time did you go to bed?”
“Around 3:30.” Ichin stretched and yawned again. “After the livestr...

Clinging to Ichin’s arm, Utaha rubbed her temples after listening to the summary of the first part of the main storyline. "You really picked a sharp theme this time."
"That’s what makes it interesting, right?"
"It is interesting. This is an issue that’s practically unavoidable in Japan. A lot of people have experienced it, even those who are now celebrities in the entertainment industry—many faced it back when they were students."

Mondstadt City, Maid Outfit Boutique.
A gentle breeze swept through the city, lifting Eula and Amber's silky, sunlit hair, revealing the delicate, fair contours of their ears.
In front of them stood a modest-sized shop specializing in all sorts of maid outfits.
According to Amber, this boutique had been in business for over ten years, with a consistently good reputation and high-quality clothing.
Moreover, the shop owner was known to be a reasonable person, someone who...

"Why are there so many tentacles?"
Quill was already surrounded, struggling to move. Every step he took was met with a barrage of tentacles striking toward him.
With his Elemental Gun in hand, he blasted away at the tentacles crawling through the planet’s crust. Suddenly, Alan’s voice came through his communicator.
"Quill, we’ve sent Mantis in. If she can use her ability to put Ego to sleep, the tentacles will stop attacking you."
Hearing this, Quill quickly turn...

"I got it."
Quill glanced worriedly at Alan outside the ship. He had no idea how Alan planned to attract Ego’s attention with just his small body.
But in the very next second, Ego seemed to have already noticed Alan. A massive tentacle sprouted from his face, whipping toward Alan in an attempt to capture him.
Everyone on the ship held their breath in fear.
Gwen and Wanda gasped when they saw the tentacle wrap tightly around Alan, their voices breaking into screams.

Ego revealed his true form—he was a living planet. His name meant "self," and he was also known as the Living Planet.
Many years ago, Ego was a member of the Celestials. As he drifted through the universe, he constantly thought and learned. He was highly intelligent, mastering the ability to manipulate molecules and disguising himself as a planet.
Over time, Ego wandered through the cosmos, searching for other intelligent life. But after countless years, he found none like hims...

But Yondu never saw it that way. He only wanted to tell his friend the truth. Stepping forward, he faced Quill and said slowly, "Don't believe him, Quill. He was the one who ordered me to abduct you from Earth." Yondu's voice boomed.
Quill's mind was in chaos, as if someone had struck him with a hammer.
Blow after blow left him unsure of what was real, making it even harder to tell who was telling the truth—Yondu or Ego.

"I know far more than you think. Quill is on this planet, and he has already met Ego."
Yondu tensed up immediately, shifting restlessly, his unease growing.
Deep down, he felt an overwhelming fear—the fear of losing Quill.
Even though the kid never listened to him, constantly disobeyed his orders, Yondu had always treated him as family.
"Where is Peter? He can’t be here. He needs to leave—now!"
Yondu forced himself up despite his injuries, heading straight ...

Impossible!
Quill rejected the thought outright, yet the old man kept walking toward him.
When the stranger placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, Quill’s entire life flashed before his eyes—memories bursting through his mind like an unstoppable slideshow, overwhelming him.
Breathing heavily, he stared at the old man before him.
Even if he didn’t want to believe it… the images in his head made it impossible to deny.
This man—was truly his father.

In the depths of the forest, a woman with antennae, dressed in a black uniform, came to an abrupt stop.
Quill rushed forward, grabbing her by the arm and spinning her around. Her eyes were filled with fear and unease.
"Who are you?" she asked in a hushed voice.
Alan quickly pulled the impatient Quill away and smiled at the Mantis-like woman.
"Don’t be afraid. We’re not bad people," he reassured her.
He extended a hand as a gesture of goodwill. Mantis had the ...

It was past 10 p.m. when Utaha finally returned home.
Since Ko Yagami was now living at the studio, Ichin wasn’t too worried about Utaha’s safety when she came home late—especially since Hazuki had also returned to pick up Mozuku, making the trip even safer with a car.
As she opened the door and walked in, holding a bag of McDonald’s in one hand, Utaha glanced around the living room. Although the lights were on, the house was unusually quiet.
“Is he in the bedroom?...

The situation at the Yukinoshita household was completely different from Eriri’s. Utaha looked at Eriri and commented with a sigh, "You’re really lucky. Your family doesn’t interfere in these things at all.”
“I think so too,” Eriri agreed, nodding. She turned to the two sisters and asked, “Haruno, haven’t you ever thought about rebelling against them?”
“Rebelling?”
Haruno rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. “Hmm… I did have that th...

Her mind remained clear, but her body obeyed his commands.

Alan had no idea that there was another legend about the origins of the Infinity Stones.
Long ago, all the Infinity Stones belonged to the Goddess of Vengeance. When her consciousness was shattered, it gave rise to these stones. However, unlike the six Infinity Stones Alan was familiar with, there was actually a seventh stone—the Ego Stone.
When the Ego Stone is combined with the other six Infinity Stones, they form a complete entity—the Goddess of Vengeance herself.

Standing beside a stoic-faced Yukino was a fashionable and beautiful woman with shoulder-length hair.
Yukino’s sister?
