Loki had agreed and immediately received Ouranos’ support—but with it came a burden of responsibility.
Yet more than the responsibility itself, what lingered in Loki’s mind were the words Ouranos had spoken to her earlier.
‘A stepping stone for a hero...’
‘That old guy Ouranos actually sees that shorty’s kid as the next-generation hero.’
‘Seems like there’s more to that kid than meets the eye.’
Loki had always sensed something unusual about ...

Compared to Sakura and Rin, whose movements were slightly delayed by their roles as students, the other Masters had already taken action.
As night began to swallow the twilight sky, Bazett, carrying a cylindrical case holding her family's heirloom Mystic Code, crossed the Fuyuki Bridge, planning to cut through the park on her way to the streets of Miyama Town.
She had spent the day cautiously scouting around Shinto but hadn’t uncovered much. So, she decided to use the cover of n...

After school, Sakura crouched in a corner of the rooftop, inspecting the barrier’s anchor point.
Her sister had been called away by a teacher, so while waiting, she wandered the school and discovered something resembling a barrier's base on the roof.
“Knew it…” she muttered thoughtfully.
Behind her, Saber materialized, crouching beside her to take a look. “What’s this? A barrier’s core point, Master?”
“More accurately, it’s something like the eye of...

"It's okay, don't be afraid. What happened today won't ever happen again—I promise."
Haruki was a little surprised when Lina threw herself into his arms, but after thinking about what she’d been through, he realized it was only natural. For a delicate girl like her, that kind of trauma would shake anyone.
He gently wrapped his arms around her and softly patted her back to comfort her.
Since it was still early morning and she was at home, Lina wore no makeup. She was dres...

“You've gone too far!”
Danzō Shimura let out a cold snort. Shadows burst from beneath his feet, darting toward Reiji like ghosts. Using the flickering candlelight to extend his reach, the shadow connected with Reiji’s.
Reiji had already noticed him making a hand seal in his sleeve earlier.
But he hadn’t stopped him.
He wanted Danzō to struggle, to exhaust every trick he had—only then would he understand that cooperating was the only real option.

He pressed his lips together, swallowing back the sarcastic comment that nearly slipped out, and turned his attention back to the scroll.
Fugaku Uchiha.
The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the name, his face darkened.
Just yesterday, the little brat had beaten up two villagers who were fighting.
Then, using his fists, he forced the two to hug it out and spend the entire afternoon “reconnecting with love.”
After that, he made them write an 800-word written pledge ...

Chapter 48: Ramen Saves the World
A gust of wind swept through the arena, kicking up leaves and dust. A sharp, oppressive stillness settled over the field.
The two figures stared each other down as murmurs spread through the audience.
Team 11 wasn’t some obscure team in Konoha.
On the contrary, most of the ninja were deeply curious about this unit that had been assigned the same mission for three straight years.

"Where did this little brat come from?"
Daren frowned, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.
For some reason, he sensed an unsettling and strange aura from the pale-skinned little mermaid in front of him. It was as if some of his secrets had been exposed by her royal blue eyes.
He didn't like this feeling.
Noticing Daren's frown, Neptune was startled and hurriedly explained,

But none of them dared say it out loud. Facing a monster like Daren, someone ridiculously powerful and utterly reckless, reasoning was pointless.
The situation left them no choice.
The massive Cursed Sword, standing over a hundred meters tall, loomed like a skyscraper of thirty or forty stories in the modern world. Just standing at its base and looking up made them feel like insignificant ants.

Ganesha, who had taken over maintaining Orario's security, was well aware that many gods in the city were aligned with the Evilus.
He'd understood long ago, even back in Tenkai, that when immortal gods grew bored, some of them would eventually turn into lunatics. Back then, though, conflicts between gods had little real impact—it was more annoying than dangerous, something you could ignore if you had the patience.
But things were different in Genkai. That kind of attitude no lon...

The new house Shiomi had mentioned was roughly the same size as his previous one. The only real drawback was the lack of a backyard.
On the other hand, the front yard was spacious enough that even if a Servant invaded and a battle broke out, there’d be ample room to fight without feeling cramped.
He’d already hired a property management company to take care of things, so after completing the formalities with Morgan, they could move in and collect the keys immediately.

Sōya Azashiro remained silent, standing still.

In fact, the situation was very much like what Bell had speculated.
Right now, Loki's Familia wasn't focused on preparing for the expedition. Instead, both Finn, the leader, and Riveria, the vice leader, were fully absorbed in digging up dirt on the Ishtar Familia.
They had both received very reliable intel confirming one thing: recently, quite a few Pallums and Elves had been sold to the Pleasure District.
Upon learning this, the two leaders dropped everything else and beca...
