### Chapter 413: Fall Guys Internal Test
As soon as Shizuka Hiratsuka entered the private room, only a few dishes had just been served. She immediately sat down on Haruno’s other side and lightly tapped her on the head.
“Well? What bad things were you saying about me behind my back this time?”
“Hehehe, how could I? My relationship with you, Shizuka, is the best!”
But having known Haruno for years, Shizuka would never believe her words. She turned straight t...

Watatsumi Island, Sangonomiya.
After retrieving the Coral Branch and holding the Watatsumi Sacred Rite—successfully halting the land’s “Hallowed Soil” phenomenon—everyone was in high spirits.
On the same day, new trade agreements with Inazuma City had been secured, so they naturally followed up with a banquet in celebration.
Once the banquet ended, Kokomi brought Nolan to her office.
“Thank you so much today. Without you, obtaining the Coral Branch wouldn...

### [HP] 146: Transformation into a Dragon
Time turned back to just over ten minutes ago, inside the Room of Requirement.
Louis was still writhing on the ground, enduring the torment of the power raging within his body.
He was in agony, but he knew it was worth it, so he clenched his teeth and held on.
The Black Qi surged through him like an unstoppable tide, tearing apart his muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels—just as he had once used it to remake Garrick...

### Chapter 21: The Sun Has Faded Away——
[
Time flew by. It had already been two years since Yoriichi was exiled from the Demon Slayer Corps.
But his heart still carried a crushing weight of guilt and sorrow. Day after day, he wandered, searching for any trace of Muzan Kibutsuji.
One day, as he walked quietly through the forest, he visited the household of Sumiyoshi and his wife.
This was the place where Yoriichi had once lived with Uta. Two years ago, when h...

Fortunately, the stares around them were something the three had long since gotten used to, so they calmly walked up to the freshman registration desk.
Ichin and Utaha didn’t know anyone from the Law Department, but the people there clearly knew them, so the process went smoothly enough.
While helping them fill out the paperwork, a junior year upperclassman glanced at Utaha and Yukino, then asked curiously,
“Classmate Ichin, Kas...

Reading through the description of the new Affection skill, Nolan thought its effects were quite remarkable.
The phrase “additional increase” meant that the skill boosted the final total after all other buffs were calculated.
For example: if he and Ei trained for an hour, they might gain 50,000 EXP in progress. If Nilou danced nearby and activated her Affection skill, that would multiply the progress by 1.5, raising it to about 75,000.
If, at that moment, Nolan ...

The brotherly bond was instantly eclipsed by disgust, which flared wildly the moment a lower-born dared to cross the line!
That day, Yoriichi, who had always only watched his brother train from the side, picked up a bamboo sword for the very first time—spurred by a careless joke from one of their father’s retainers.
Michikatsu only stood by, watching.
His little brother knew only a few chants and t...

The sealed energy of the Twelve Talismans erupted all at once. The surge of black qi swelled violently, overflowing from Louis’s body.
Dark mist shrouded him instantly, his once starlit eyes now veiled by a blood-red iris.
At that moment, the Philosopher’s Stone in his hand burst a...

After breakfast, Ichin drove Utaha and the two cats over to Yukino’s place, then headed to the company himself.
Yukino, now a soon-to-be university student, had plenty of free time. Since her final semester of high school hadn’t started yet, her daily routine was simply caring for the cats at home and reading books to enrich herself.

His palms pressed against her arm and thigh. Even through her sleeves and the white thigh-high socks, he could still feel the softness beneath.
Her side pressed snugly against his chest; warmth radiated through their clothing.

But when Ichin saw that besides the Yukinoshita sisters, Hiratsuka Shizuka was also at the door, he scratched his head.

According to Kokomi, the reason Watatsumi Island was undergoing “sanctification” was because the spiritua...

The five days of exams passed, and with every subject finished, winter break arrived right before Christmas.

The open space here was quite large. Raiden Shogun would occasionally sit beneath the pavilion to admire flowers and birds. For a quick spar, the place was just right.

Without a word, the Shogun drew her long polearm naginata.
Her wooden geta clicked sharply as she stepped back, then suddenly she lunged forward. Even without calling upon Electro, sh...

The seed’s effect was extraordinary, almost miraculous. Louis was itching to plant it immediately.

The rest were sitting in the living room, chatting and resting.
At that moment, on the sofa sat Nilou, who had only recently moved into the space. Beside her, Amber was enthusiastically introducing the other residents of the Wonderland spa...

Of course, if it were something on the scale of Dark Souls, then his current level wouldn’t cut it. He would need to keep stud...

“Of course it’s possible.” Nahida nodded.
The best method, naturally, would be to make use of Fontaine’s Oratrice Mécanique d’Analyse Cardinale to gather the faith of justice, converting it into an endless stream of energy, allowing the Akasha system to grow continuously.
With a single extra Gnosis, all that could be done was to expand the Akasha’s coverage by about one nation—roughly the size of Sumeru.
Unless all seven Gnoses were gathered,...
