Chapter 126: Preparations Before the Premiere
A month had passed, and while the calendar of this world differed from that of Edward's previous world, the equivalent was mid-July. After wrapping up a series of troublesome matters, Edward finally returned to the Alchemy Tower at the Imperial Mage Academy.
The tower had undergone significant changes since his last visit. Its exterior was now noticeably cleaner, and its halls bustled with activity. However, compared to the grandeur an...

Volume 2 Chapter 5: We’re Really Just Studying a Foreign Language!
Early in the morning, Darina scaled the walls of her house—jumping down from a four-story wall—to sneak out.
Though her father had sternly warned her against associating with dubious men from outside, a Vouivre girl like her wasn’t going to obediently listen to her dad.
Maybe if she were ten years younger, but not now.
What was this nonsense about Vouivre people not mingling with Adakrys folks? ...

Chapter 125: A Three-Episode Premiere
Early the next morning, Edward gathered a large group of people at Nosrick City’s only teleportation circle, preparing for an inter-city transport.
In recent days, Nosrick City’s teleportation services had seen unprecedented demand. In the past, the teleportation circle might not even be used once in several months, with the high-level mage in charge of it spending most of their time at the Mage Tower.
However, thanks to the booming ...

Volume 2 Chapter 4: Razer’s Dream
Garde's great axe was practically his companion weapon. Ever since he obtained the hero template of Renekton, it had always been with him. Losing it was out of the question; even with his eyes closed, Garde could always sense where it was.
The distance wasn’t too far—around a few dozen kilometers. It seemed someone had picked it up and was now bringing it over.
Since someone was bringing it back, Garde didn’t bother going after it hi...

Chapter 124: The TV Station and the New Production Team
Hearing that The Garden of Sinners was recruiting actors, the performers from the Snow Flower Troupe rushed to the audition site immediately after a brief rest. Clearly, they took this opportunity very seriously. It was no wonder—during the casting for Fate/Zero, although many were recruited, not even half of the troupe managed to get roles. The rest didn’t even qualify for background roles and were relegated to assisting on se...

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Having caused a power outage for the entire building, Razer immediately went to apologize.
Fortunately, in the city outskirts, power outages happened every few days, so everyone was used to it. Since Razer apologized and the wiring wasn’t damaged, the building manager decided not to pursue the matter.
When she heard that she didn’t need to pay compensation, Razer finally breathed a sig...

“Juno, please go get the wine jars from the storage room. And while you’re at it, bring out the idiot who snuck in to drink and passed out drunk in there.”
As Zat finished speaking, the Beastkin girl hiding her true identity immediately set aside her task of serving guests and dashed into the underground storage room. Sure enough, just as the knight had said, a certain blue-haired girl had somehow snuck in and was now incapacitated ...

Hearing the voice, Itakura Misaki quickly turned around.
"H-Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Itakura Misaki."
She immediately stood up and bowed in greeting to Kousuke Akikawa.
Originally, she had thought that if Wonderful's talent scouts had personally recruited him, then he must have some extraordinary talent.
However—
Now that she was seeing Kousuke Akikawa up close, her disappointment only deepened.
There was no doubt that the...

The pale blue dawn intertwined with the faint morning mist, filtering through the gaps in the curtains and casting a soft glow on Itakura Misaki’s face.
Perhaps sensing the light, her eyelids trembled slightly before she gradually awoke.
She barely opened her eyes, leaving only a narrow slit.
After a few seconds of adjusting from the dazed state of just waking up, Itakura Misaki suddenly jolted upright in bed.
She reached out and grabbe...

It took Kousuke Akikawa more than an hour to reach the apartment where the original owner and his mother lived, following the map provided by Midori Kuriyama.
The first thing that met his eyes was the mottled exterior wall with peeling paint.
The prominent black stains on the walls indicated that this building had clearly been battered by years of exposure to wind and rain.

Kousuke Akikawa and the lawyer, Midori Kuriyama, took a taxi together to the Metropolitan Police Headquarters in Chiyoda Ward.
There, he retrieved his personal belongings as well as some of his late mother, Akikawa Ryoko’s, possessions.
However, since some of Ryoko’s belongings were still considered evidence in an ongoing investigation, they could only be returned to him after the case was fully closed.

After leaving Kousuke Akikawa’s hospital room, Detective Takagi Wataru, Conan, and Sera Masumi were severely scolded by Sato Miwako.
Both Conan and Sera Masumi truly experienced the terrifying side of Sato Miwako, the "Flower of the Metropolitan Police Department."
Later, when Sera Masumi and Conan suggested helping to track down the motorbike-riding murderer, they were immediately rejected by Sato Miwako.

When it is difficult to determine whether a suspect's testimony is truthful, having them recount their statement in reverse order often helps reveal the truth.
Many criminals, when interrogated by the police, fabricate a story to cope with questioning.
If the police question them normally, they can respond fluently.
However, if they are asked to repeat their statement backward, inconsistencies in their fabricated story often emerge.

Before entering the hospital room, Conan had privately asked Detective Takagi for a favor.
If he heard Conan lightly tapping his microphone, he was to enter and report the fingerprint discovery.
