"Hooray! Klee didn’t get caught!"
"Wait, hold on, Klee... I think that was Honorary Knight just now."
Klee had bolted out of the confinement room. Due to her short stature, she only saw Nolan’s torso and assumed he was one of the Knights of Favonius assigned by Jean to guard the confinement room and prevent her from running off.
But Noelle had a clear look at him.
“Huh?”
Hearing Noelle’s words, Klee immediately skidded to a stop at the door. She turned ...

The battle between Kitsuchi's team and the Six Paths of Pain concluded swiftly. A single Shinra Tensei from the Deva Path had crushed them entirely.
Even Kakashi, observing from the sidelines, wore a grim expression. “Unless one can evade it with the Flying Thunder God technique, there’s no other way to counter that.”
Kitsuchi’s Earth Release techniques were far superior to his, yet they still couldn’t withstand Shinra Tensei.
Even Yugito, who had summoned the Two-...

In the days that followed, Shūichi spent his time either training or accompanying his wives.
With Tenka and Pakura both pregnant, Mei Terumi and Konan had become noticeably more proactive as well.
It was a pity that the fiery and passionate Tenka was now pregnant; otherwise, Shūichi felt it might have been possible to aim for a “quadra.”
One day, Shūichi received notice that his leisurely days were over, and he returned to work at Root.
On his desk, a neatly a...

After about an hour of playing, everyone was feeling tired, so they decided to turn off Just Dance.
As expected, besides Aoba Suzukaze, Hifumi also ended up with a low score and had to join in on cleaning duties. On the other hand, Kō Yagami and Rin Toyama, who initially seemed shy about playing, scored surprisingly well once they got into the groove.
"Ah! I’m exhausted!"
Kō flopped onto the couch, leaning against Rin and taking a sip of cola. "I don’t want to...

The scope of a game at the level of Persona 5(P5) is not something their current studio could easily handle.
It’s not that it’s impossible to complete, but they’d need at least two more programmers and an additional one or two artists before Ichin would feel confident enough to attempt such a project.

Inazuma, Kamisato Estate.
Although it was somewhat disappointing not to meet the much-admired "Shirasagi Himegimi," everyone understood it was a customary practice that couldn’t be forced.
Seeing the regret on Nolan's face, Lumine gave him a disapproving look and pinched his arm.
“Ahem… Well then, Miss Kamisato, shall we get straight to the point? Is there something you need our help with?” Nolan coughed awkwardly, trying to change the subject.

Pregnant women are sensitive—Shūichi understood this well. With so many women around him, it was already hard enough for someone as strong-willed as Tsunade to accept the situation.
If not for his decisive and bold approach in the past, bypassing conventional methods, it would’ve been impossible to win her over. Using normal tactics, he’d have ended up empty-handed like Jiraiya.
A deep kiss, followed by a quick change of topic to their child, was enough to coax Tsunade back...

Pierce’s face darkened, clearly displeased. Moments later, a Quinjet descended from the sky. Captain America, with his shield in hand, leapt from the aircraft alongside Black Widow and Hawkeye.
The moment they landed, Hydra soldiers spotted them. Coulson shouted as he rushed down from the Quinjet:
"All the Hydra operatives are here!"
No sooner had he spoken than countless gun barrels turned their way, unleashing a barrage of bullets that formed a deadly curtain in the ai...

Outside the prison, several members of Hydra’s combat unit stood behind Bartok. Their fierce gazes revealed their hardened nature—they were all prisoners personally captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the past.
Pierce addressed Bartok, “Didn’t you always want to face off against Captain America? Here’s your chance. Take a team and stop him. Under no circumstances should he disrupt my plans.”
Bartok chuckled lightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Inside Avengers Tower, Banner monitored Tony’s perspective remotely. His abilities weren’t suited for this kind of mission, so he acted as the strategist instead.
On the projection in front of him, a convoy of vehicles was displayed—Bartok, who had earlier taken the crate from the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, was among them.
Suddenly, a faint noise came from Bucky’s room, where he was supposed to be sleeping. Alarmed, Banner rushed over, only to find the bed empty—Bucky was go...

Imbuing external objects with attributes seemed like a bit of a waste, considering "spiritual energy" wasn’t infinite.
After contemplating for a while, Nolan ultimately decided to imbue the affection skill he had obtained from Sucrose, "Fairy Tale Wonderland," with a special attribute.
The main issue was that the "Wonderland" still felt a bit small.
He hoped to gain an attribute that would expand the spatial dimensions of the Wonderland. That would be fantastic—it coul...

Madara Uchiha was well aware of Obito Uchiha's potential, but the White Zetsu before him had no clue.
Given another chance, neither White Zetsu nor the yet-to-be-born Black Zetsu was worthy of full trust.

"Mm-hmm! It really is such a cute little dog!" Paimon said, reaching out to pat Taroumaru's head, nodding vigorously.
So soft, so smooth!
Taroumaru remained expressionless. It was already used to silly humans frequently petting its head.
"Miss, could you please arrange a private room for us?" Nolan said with a smile to the attendant.

At Avengers Tower, the team was deep in thought. In their collective memory, the Cosmic Cube had indeed been taken by S.H.I.E.L.D., meaning the last person to interact with it was likely a Hydra infiltrator.

Black Widow nodded in agreement. The enemy was undoubtedly aware that Bucky had been captured. If he simply returned, it would arouse suspi...
