Mu Heng extended her right hand, only then noticing she was wearing a pair of white silk gloves. With the Black-Clad Man's assistance, she slowly rose to her feet. The moment her feet touched the ground, she felt a sharp discomfort.
It wasn't her legs that were the problem, but the high heels she was wearing. Mu Heng glanced down at her side, the white hem of her dress clearly visible.
Recalling the "Robin" identity displayed on the Alternative Identity System, it was obvious: thi...

"Hiss..." Mu Heng sat up from the cold floor, rubbing her temples.
Her entire body ached as if she'd been hit by a car, sent flying dozens of meters, and then skidded across the ground.
"Ugh..." Mu Heng froze. This wasn't just a feeling—she dimly recalled her last memory: a truck bearing the "Great Fortune" logo barreling straight toward her.
"Wait, shouldn't I be dead? Could anyone survive being thrown that far? I'm not even an athlete..." As she spoke, Mu Heng suddenly n...

"A will?" Qin Yu couldn't imagine what kind of will-related issue could trouble Yanfei.
Yanfei sighed. "Well, technically, I'm acting as the executor of a will."
"Is that even within your job scope?" Qin Yu asked, astonished.
"Yes, though such cases are rare."
Yanfei explained, "In short, an elderly couple's will stipulates that they want to find their grandson. But their son and daughter-in-law passed away long ago, the wife suddenly fell ill and is bedridden, and the...

Although Qin Yu's original request had been to improve her relationship with Ningguang, both Ningguang and Keqing had subsequently rewarded her with a substantial sum of Mora.
Combined with her upcoming salary, she could easily afford to quit her job and move to a new place without worrying about money for quite some time.
Not bad at all.
After Qin Yu's probationary period ended, Ningguang left the estate and returned to the Jade Chamber. Qin Yu couldn't help but wo...

Exhausted in body and mind, Qin Yu returned to the mansion only to find she had to report to Ningguang first.
Slapping her cheeks to rouse herself, Qin Yu straightened up.
Please don't make me work anymore today, she prayed. If I do, I might as well ascend to heaven tonight.
"That's the gist of it. Lady Keqing should have already dispatched the Millelith to seal off the area. Here's the original ritual record Hu Tao found. Please take a look."

The four of them fought together, and in no time, all the Treasure Hoarders were defeated.
Only one remained.
"Don't move! Or I'll kill her!" To their surprise, he produced a female adventurer from somewhere and pressed a knife to her throat.
Keqing frowned. "A hostage? When did..."
"Of course, we were prepared. We anticipated the Millelith would come. When this woman wandered into the ruins, we seized her and hid her away."
He had then used the chaos to bring ou...

Ruin Guards, legendary combat automatons left behind by a fallen kingdom, were known for their formidable firepower.
Qin Yu would normally detour around Ruin Guards in the wild, even if they were inactive. But this time, there was no choice; it was blocking their path.
"Qin Yu, aim for its head! That should paralyze it for a few seconds," Keqing instructed.
"Got it!"
Qin Yu took a deep breath, crouched, raised her StG44, and fired a single shot at the Ruin Guard's head...

Unsurprisingly, the new ritual site was also located within the underground ruins.
Rumor had it that these ruins were quite dangerous and remained only partially explored. It was remarkable that the Treasure Hoarders had dared to use such a place for their ritual.
Qin Yu and Shenhe traveled together on foot for several tens of minutes before finally arriving at the rendezvous point.

Early the next morning, Qin Yu, fighting off her drowsiness, went to find Shenhe.
"That's what happened. Could you help me out, Shenhe?" Qin Yu asked.
Shenhe nodded decisively. "Since it's your request, I won't refuse."
Just say yes already. Why the extra emphasis? It's not like I'm thrilled... though I admit I'm a little pleased. Tsk, now I'm suddenly annoyed again. She could at least smile when she says something like that!
Qin Yu grumbled inwardly, forcing ...

What's it like to return to your bedroom and find the Phantom Thief sitting on your bed?
For Chevreuse, it was a familiar, yet persistently irritating feeling.
She closed the door behind her and said, "I thought you were still lying in some shady hospital."

Furina, who had been humming a cheerful tune while enjoying her cake, froze mid-motion. She averted her gaze. "D-do I?"

The candle flame still flickered. Luna pulled her thoughts from a distant memory and smiled faintly. "I might be a little tired."
"That's understandable. You can sleep for a while if you want."
It wasn't the first time Luna had fallen asleep on her lap, and Arlecchino didn't mind.

Luna straightened up. If she leaned back down, she'd probably fall asleep for real.

Many years ago, as the first rays of sunlight crept into the orphanage courtyard, the morning routine began.
"Go sweep the main gate," an employee instructed.
"Right away."
But when the employee reached the gate, they found a basket.
Inside lay a baby girl, fast asleep.
A cloth imprinted with moons covered her. When the employee knelt and lifted the cloth, they discovered a small card.
"Luna" was the only word written on it.

Her cold demeanor suggested that anyone who got too close might get frostbite, but Luna still remembered the warmth and softness of Arlecchino's cheek beneath her eyes when her fingertips had touched it.

The gentle clink of silverware against the porcelain plate echoed in the room.
Arlecchino sliced the steak, speared a piece, and brought it to her mouth. Luna glanced at the meat—it was well-done.
If one were to ask about Arlecchino's signature dish, raw meat would undoubtedly be the answer. Unseasoned, offering only the purest, primal taste of blood, she recalled a child from the House of the Hearth bursting into tears after finishing a plate.
Since then, Arlecchino had n...

Furina felt her eyes were still damp. Hearing Luna's gentle voice, her eyelashes fluttered slightly before she opened her eyes.
Bright lamplight, filtered by the drawn curtains, sealed off the outside world. The soft, comforting scent lingered, calming her heart.
Furina had regained her composure... or rather, she had found a moment of peace within herself.

That evening, Furina strolled through Fontaine.
After resting, her complexion had improved slightly, but a lingering bewilderment still clouded her expression, making her appear somewhat listless.
Furina had finished all her tasks for the day. Logically, she should have gone to sleep.
"But I can't sleep..."
The only thing she could think of to cope with this sleepless night was to go for a walk to clear her head.

Soon, the Ekaterina (Top) and Ekaterina (Bottom) Stigmata were removed.

Night fell, and Yae Sakura lay on her bed, gazing at the rows upon rows of Stigmata filling her warehouse.
Too lazy to manage her inventory, she had simply tossed all her weapons and Stigmata into the warehouse without sorting or dismantling them. She only broke down items when absolutely necessary, resulting in a cluttered stockpile.
Most of it was low-tier gear, of course.
I wonder if equipping people in this world with Stigmata would even work? she mused. My ...

Having vanquished the yokai, the little monk cried out in anguish, staring at the mangled, blood-soaked corpse in the center of the scene.

Kikyō gazed at the mangled remains, shielding Kaede's eyes from behind. If only we had arrived sooner... the Far-Reaching Onmyoji might still be alive...

Yae Sakura glanced at the corpse. There was no hope of saving it.

But it was only... 280?
Is this just like pulling a gacha in a game?

This legendary Earth Spider had once been captured and sealed by the God Weapon Emperor. But after the Emperor's death, the seal weakened, allowing the great yokai to escape.
