[HP] 97: Fate – King’s Sculptor

The word “Fate” instantly caught Louis’s attention.

Ever since unlocking Fate Points, he had grown particularly sensitive to anything involving fate—after all, it usually meant points, powerful tools, and major benefits. There was no way he could afford to ignore it.

However, the fate here was clearly unrelated to Fate Points. Instead of altering one’s personal trajectory, this version of fate seemed more aligned with cause and effect.

[HP] 96: You Call That a Mage?

As the figure froze in place, the final lottery result appeared.

Though the image had flashed by in an instant, Louis’s sharp memory let him clearly make out who it was.

It was a young man with silver-white hair, handsome and smiling cheerfully, holding a staff nearly as tall as himself. But the staff looked rather unusual—on closer inspection, it seemed to be a sheathed sword embedded upside-down at the top.

Then came the system notification:

[HP] 95: Legendary Lottery – Orange Cat and the Treasury

Legendary Lottery!

Once again, it was time for the Legendary Lottery—this time with three whole chances!

Louis had been waiting eagerly for this moment. He couldn't wait to find a quiet place and roll the draws—he was dying to know what surprises the system would bring him this time.

Practically bouncing with excitement, Louis dropped Hermione off at the entrance of the Ravenclaw common room, right before the eagle-head bronze statue. Her cheeks were slightly ...

[Game] Chapter 349: Graduation Photo Day

In the afternoon, under Hiratsuka Shizuka’s lead, the class gathered outside the school building.

Another class was already in the middle of their graduation photo shoot. Everyone was standing as per the photographer’s directions, with positions being adjusted as needed.

Standing beside Hiratsuka, Ichin glanced at the group ahead and asked, “Hiratsuka-sensei, we’re up next, right?”

“Yeah, we’re next,” she nodded.

“Graduation photos, huh… This is t...

[Game] Chapter 348: Leisurely Days Before Graduation

The next day, when Ichin arrived at school, he noticed that the entire senior year floor was buzzing with excitement.

Utaha, holding onto Ichin’s arm, whispered, “Did you forget? Hiratsuka-sensei said yesterday that graduation photo shoots start today.”

“Ahhh, right. That’s true.”

Ichin finally remembered.

He looked up at the weather—bright and sunny. Perfect for graduation photos.

Yawning lazily, Ichin and Utaha entered the classroom together.

The acrobatic performance ended amid cheers from the crowd, followed by several other acts, until it was finally time for the grand finale.

A girl with long red hair tied into twin tails stepped onto the stage.

She wore a black, horned tiara, and her outfit was stunning. Her top was a sea-blue dance costume, wrapping around her chest like a strapless bodice.

Below it, her snow-white stomach peeked out above a skirt that covered her navel, the deep and light blues interwoven ...

Chapter 347: Final Development Sprint Before Launch

Once school was over, Ichin and Utaha headed to the company—Eiriri came along too.

As a member of the art team, she naturally had to attend the meeting. As for Yukino, she had cleaning duties at school today. After finishing, she planned to head straight home and pick up some groceries for dinner.

By the time they arrived at the company, the team had already received Ichin’s message sent on the way out of school, so everyone had wrapped up their tasks and was waiting in the ma...

Chapter 346: Valedictorian Speech?

When the main characters arrived, the grade supervisor immediately greeted them with a beaming smile.

"Ichin-kun, Kasumigaoka-san, you probably haven’t checked your scores yet, have you? Although you’ve both already been accepted into the University of Tokyo, since you still took the exam, the results matter. We received your scores first thing this morning."

As he spoke, he handed over their score reports.

Ichin glanced at his—just about what he expected based on th...

“Details… I used my wisdom and strength to defeat the troll,” Louis said, spreading his hands. “That’s it. No more details.”

…What kind of explanation was that? Where was the process? The reason? Was he seriously suggesting he killed a troll with his fists? At that point, saying a random giant wandered in and killed it would be more believable.

Professor McGonagall took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling her blood p...

Everyone froze, their panicked running abruptly halting as all eyes turned to their pillar of strength—Dumbledore.

Looking over the crowd, Dumbledore raised his magically amplified voice again:

“All students, return to your dormitories under the guidance of your prefects. Professors, come with me to the dungeons.”

“Headmaster, two students from our house aren’t here,” Ravenclaw prefect Penelope Clearwater quickly reported.

Nolan took out his pocket watch to check the time—it was still early. Since someone was offering a treat, there was no reason to refuse.

“Sure, but I’m not much of a drinker. I’ll just have some tea.”

Back on Earth, he’d always prioritized his health. Though he could hold his liquor, he preferred not to drink at all when possible.

That habit hadn’t changed.

“Haha, of course—whatever you prefer.” Dehya, with her loose flowing black-gold hair like a m...

[HP] 92: It’s Coming, It’s Coming—the Troll Has Arrived

At the entrance of the Great Hall, students poured in excitedly, eager to see Hogwarts dressed in its Halloween-themed glory.

A thousand bats flitted across the walls and ceiling—not one more, not one less. Giant pumpkins carved into lanterns hung above and around the hall, their flickering candlelight casting a mysterious glow.

The first-year students were completely awestruck, their eyes wide as they took in the magically atmospheric hall.

But the decorations weren’t t...

[HP] 91: Quirrell’s Gradual Descent into Double Agent Territory

As the Halloween Feast approached, Louis and Hermione were sitting in the library reading.

Louis, however, spent the entire time staring at Hermione. At first, she ignored it, but under his aggressively intense gaze, she began to feel uncomfortable.

“Why do you keep staring at me?” Hermione puffed her cheeks in frustration.

“I noticed you seemed a little upset, and I’ve been trying to figure out why,” Louis replied, resting his chin on one hand, his head tilted. ...

[HP] 90: Quirrell’s Strange Behavior

Hogwarts had a kitchen—a kitchen staffed entirely by house-elves.

If a student were lucky enough to stumble upon its location, they’d be stuffed full of pies and milk tea by the overly hospitable house-elves.

It was said that every Hufflepuff student knew where the kitchen was—but none of them would ever tell.

—No one messes with a Hufflepuff and their food.

Because Louis had a habit of waking up early, he had discovered the kitchen long ago. Having breakfast...

That evening, after having hotpot for dinner, Ichin first dropped Eriri off at her home before driving Yukino back to her apartment.

Together with Utaha, he went upstairs to Yukino’s place—where they were finally reunited with Peppa, who had been temporarily fostered there.

Even though Peppa had been living there for a week, the moment he saw Ichin and Utaha, he immediately jumped down from the cat tree and ran over with soft pattering footsteps, rubbing himself affectionately...

Nolan looked at Dori with a speechless expression. For someone so tiny, how could she be this obsessed with money?

“Hehe, small business, you know—low margin, high volume. Hope you understand~”

Dori rubbed her hands together with a sly grin.

“Well, I’m not here to buy anything. I came to ask you something.”

Nolan then explained his intention—to find the creators of Genius Invokat...

Layla’s black skirt swayed slightly with her steps, and through the hem, the faint glint of a metallic leg band on her left thigh reflected the light.

“What does the Rtawahist Darshan focus on?” Nolan walked side by side with Layla, asking curiously.

“The Rtawahist mainly studies the stars and the cosmos. Specifically, disciplines like astronomy and astrology fall under our research.”

[Game] Chapter 343: Confirming the Release Date

After the meeting, Ichin left the company and drove to Toyogasaki.

A few minutes later, Yukino and Eriri came out together.

During his trip back home for the New Year, Ichin had asked Yukino to take care of Peppa. That way, Peppa could have some company with Yukino’s cat, Sesame.

As for Yukino’s other cat, Mochi, it had just undergone neutering surgery and was still recovering.

As soon as they stepped outside, Eriri spotted Ichin’s car nearby and immediately drag...

Spending the Spring Festival in Ichin’s hometown wasn’t something that made Utaha nervous anymore—after all, she had already experienced it once before.

Her parents had also joined them on the previous trip. This time, although they met some of Ichin’s relatives again, everyone got along quite well.

Of course, there were some differences compared to before.

This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner was held at home rather than going out to dine with other relatives. Stil...

[HP] 89: A Halloween Eve Prank

The main reason Louis had Voldemort investigate him was to lay the groundwork for the third and fourth stages of the [Nightmares and Wizards] mission.

One of those stages required convincing Dumbledore. The other, the International Confederation of Wizards.

Neither would be easy. It would take full-spectrum information coverage to make them even consider believing it.

And Voldemort—he was Louis’s tool for “dark wizard disinformation.”

[HP] 88: A Groveling Voldemort

Voldemort suspected the potion might be cursed and intended to use Quirrell as a test subject. Though he was parasitizing Quirrell and would be forced to flee if the man died, that was still better than getting himself cursed.

If there was something wrong with the potion, at least Quirrell drinking it might give him time to escape.

“Y-Yes, Master...” Quirrell nearly passed out from the sudden agony of his forcibly healed arm. He could barely keep hold of the teacup. View Post

[HP] 87: Mouth Says No, Body Says Yes

Peeves was a strange creature—something between a ghost and a fairy.

Louis had always known there was such a troublemaker haunting Hogwarts, but he’d never actually seen him. Most likely, it was because Peeves feared the Bloody Baron, and Louis had scared the Baron off with just a few words.

That’s why Louis had never experienced the notorious pranks of this mischievous spirit. And frankly, that was a good thing. Otherwise, Louis couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t grab the g...

Voice-to-text functionality—basically a note-taking feature. That definitely sounded like a must-have.

Nolan promptly jotted it down.

He continued asking Alhaitham for feedback on the Akasha Terminal’s user experience.

Alhaitham’s observations were very detailed. He pointed out several...

On Saturday morning, Ichin and Utaha got up on time with the help of their alarm. After breakfast, accompanied by Utaha’s parents, they headed to the exam venue together.

Utaha initially didn’t want her parents to come along, but she couldn’t say no—after all, this was her final major exam of her high school life. No matter what, her ...

After school in the afternoon, Ichin and Utaha headed to the company. Eriri and Yukino came along too, riding in Ichin’s car.

Technically, they were still studying when they were at the Service Club, but the main issue there was the lack of air conditioning. Compared to that, the company office was much cozier—and you could pet cats too.

After checking on everyone’s work progress, Ichin walked over to Hazuki’s side.

Louis was quite lucky—had Hermes not discovered the issue within him, his constant strengthening of Positive Qi Magic would’ve eventually led to disaster.

Perhaps because Louis had agreed too easily, Hermes ultimately insisted on establishing an Unbreakable Vow before he could relax.

But it failed.

When Nolan heard about Fontaine’s possession of a mechanical device called the “Oratrice Mecanique d’Analyse Cardinale,” he was quite surprised.

However, after Nahida’s explanation, Nolan also understood that this ...
