For his trip to Ebihu Mountain, Jiang You chose to go alone. Fairy Tristan was still learning how to rule as King from Gilgamesh (which basically meant handling territorial affairs), Medea was searching for local specialties in the Underworld, Lancelot had gone to Ur on vacation with Gudako and Mash, and Jiang You had settled the Five Gorgon Sisters in the rainforest near Ur—after all, they were snakes, so that environment should suit them perfectly. However, the sisters aside from Gorgon a...

There was no rush to summon Tiamat. Nearly all of Mesopotamia's top combatants had already rallied to their side, creating a force far more formidable than in the original narrative. Before proceeding, they needed to prepare to repel the Lahmu's assault and halt the Primordial Sea's encroaching tide.
"If we need to evacuate the commoners, Ebihu Mountain would be a good choice," Siduri suggested. "The terrain is high, and now that the gods have departed, the Temple could serve as a tempo...

"What's wrong? Scared?"
Seeing Kingu's hesitant, uncertain expression, Gilgamesh continued his signature booming laughter. "You're the one struggling here! On This King's turn, just one more discard will end it all!"
"I'll set one card in my Backrow and end my turn!"
Kingu bit his lip. Gilgamesh had no cards left in his hand, and unless he activated an effect, there were no discard triggers on the field.
"Don't get cocky! You'll only have one card next turn—how will ...

"Attack Power 0?"
Unlike his younger self, Gilgamesh didn't dismiss this as a joke. A servant's level largely reflected their strength, and this was Tiamat, after all—she was bound to have some terrifying abilities.
"Indeed," Kingu replied with a laugh. "But Mother is the Creator Goddess. It's not that simple. Now, I activate the Field Spell Card 'Primordial Sea'! This card cannot be targeted by effects. While face-up on the field, Tiamat also cannot be targeted by effects! Furt...

Something's not right. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't add up.
Hyacine narrowed her eyes, quickly counting the students behind Heinrich. Including Pela, there were at least thirty of them. But Heinrich was the Tower Master of the Transmutation Tower and the Headmaster of the entire Arcane Federation's capital. Taking on thirty students at once? Was he joking?
If he'd encountered a few exceptionally talented students, taking them on as apprentices would be understan...

Having arrived with two large baskets of Lavender Melons, the Arataki Gang ultimately retrieved their two key members.
"Hahaha! As expected, this great one is still the best! All our hard work gathering Lavender Melons these past few days finally paid off. We rescued Shinobu and Yuna!"
Itto grinned like an idiot and nudged Yuna, who was standing beside him, with his elbow.
Already in a foul mood from her parents' nagging earlier, Yuna immediately drew her Claymore at the sud...

While Arataki Itto and the old man were arguing outside, inside the room:
"Enough! I won't go back to being a miko," Kuki Shinobu said firmly, cutting off her mother and Big Sister Miyuki's persistent nagging.
Beside them, Kuki Shinobu's mother and Big Sister, Miyuki, could only sigh helplessly. For three days, they'd tried everything, but Shinobu remained unmoved.
Kuki Shinobu's mother glanced at her youngest daughter, Yuna, who was munching on a flatbread.

After returning from Starsnatch Cliff, Lumine and Paimon remained steeped in sorrow for a long time.
Previously, when Lumine was grieving, Paimon had been there to comfort her. But now, it seemed Paimon was the one who needed comfort the most.
Lumine gently patted Paimon's back, offering soft words of reassurance to the little companion.
It took quite a while for Paimon's spirits to gradually lift.
"Traveler, where should we go now?"
"Let's head back to Liyue."

"Haah... It's happening again."
Ever since participating in the battle against Osial, Qin Yu had been plagued by nightmares. Without fail, they all featured her trapped in a cold, dark environment, haunted by eerie whispers that sent shivers down her spine.
Could it be the recent stress?

Arriving at Yanfei's office, Yanfei brewed a cup of tea and then asked, "By the way, I haven't asked yet—how exactly am I supposed to help you?"
Yanfei shook her head. "I've seen Liyue Opera before, but I don't know much about it."
Nervous and restless, Qin Yu snapped out of her daze and replied, "There's no need to do anything special. Once I'm in character, just interact with me as you normally would."

Though it's unlikely, could Yanfei have awakened something she shouldn't have?
Ending our friendship to start a "newer" relationship? Isn't that practically confessing she wants to be my girlfriend? No, no, no! That won't do at all.
I absolutely will not become that kind of woman.
But if that's really what she meant, how should I respond?

The sudden turn of events caught everyone completely off guard. Who would have thought that someone would dare to act up even after being questioned by the police?
"Stop!"
The two officers reacted swiftly, shouting a sharp command and attempting to apprehend Kawaguchi Tokushi.

Besides Little Ya and Sister Jingjing, Lu Yue and Nie Bing had also long noticed Kawaguchi Tokushi lurking in the crowd.
Nie Bing's instincts as a Criminal Investigator, honed by her recent training with Cifera, had immediately flagged the suspicious figure. Compared to the other onlookers, his behavior was distinctly more furtive.
As he approached, Nie Bing took a half-step forward, her gaze sharpening and her body tensing, ready to strike at a moment's notice.

Everyone gathered around her, taking their seats beside her.
Diluc, Lumine, and Noelle sat closest to Rola, while Paimon continued to float in the air.
