In that split second of stunned hesitation, the pursuing students caught up, their riot forks waving chaotically as they tackled one of the “henchmen” to the ground with a thud. The other, shaken from his daze, shivered and snapped back to reality. Dodging around Sumire, he bolted down the corridor, his footsteps echoing in the chaos.

Shuichi, hefting the fire axe with a casual swagger, sauntered forward, his eyes locked on the fleeing teacher playing the rioter. As the man, his fac...

Click-clack, click-clack…

The weaving workshop in Sedona City buzzed with relentless activity, its looms humming in a rhythmic chorus. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of raw linen and the faint tang of sweat. Women weavers, their hands deft and practiced, operated the looms with precision, each striving to produce just one more bolt of cloth to earn a few extra copper coins.

The workshop operated on a piece-rate system: the more cloth you wove, the more coins you pocket...

“I’ve heard much about the reputation of IstanTel Law, the representative clan of the southern city of Monica. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Kim Su-Hyeon, Lord of the Mercenary Clan.”

“Thank you. I’m glad to meet you as well. I’m Han So-Young, Lord of the IstanTel Law Clan. Though it’s late, congratulations on founding the Mercenary Clan.”

Han So-Young responded to my words and rose from her seat. I followed suit, standing up as well. We reached out and exchan...

Tuesday morning dawned with a chill that seeped into Shuichi Chiba’s bones, jolting him awake from a restless sleep. His brow furrowed as a shiver ran through him, his legs numb and icy, particularly at the tops of his thighs. 'It’s only October—how is it this cold already?' He thought groggily, his mind a jumble of half-formed ideas. 'Maybe it’s time to crank up the heater.' Rubbing his bleary eyes, he tossed back the covers, expecting to find nothing more than a drafty room. Instead...

"Master, you’re the one who needs to take better care of yourself," Nicole said, her eyes narrowing into playful slits as she scolded him gently. "We’re not the ones getting ourselves hurt, you know."

"Ahem, ahem…" Lucas coughed awkwardly, his cheeks flushing slightly as he turned his head to avoid her gaze. Alright, fine, he admitted it—his actions today had been a bit reckless. But who hasn’t been a little wild in their youth? The thrill of youth was practically a universal ...

Half an hour later, the military banner was adorned with a constellation of crimson thumbprints, each one a mark of loyalty and resolve. At the center, Lucas’s vivid blood-red handprint stood out, a bold and commanding focal point that seemed to pulse with the weight of the moment.

Lucas gazed at the blood-streaked banner in his hands, a satisfied nod breaking his otherwise stoic expression. This, he thought, could become a tradition—a sacred rite for new recruits, a tangible bond t...

Following Seong Yu-Bin’s lead, we passed through the main gate.

The moment we stepped inside, the Golden Lion Clan’s clan house finally revealed its majestic interior. As I scanned the scenery before me, a slight pang of regret hit me. Though its future was uncertain, it felt wasteful to think that such fine facilities might one day be trampled under the feet of vagrants.

We walked at a steady pace along the smooth central path, one of several branching walkways. As we headed ...

“Clothes, to me, are a kind of shackle,” Ichika continued, her voice soft yet resonant, carrying a quiet intensity that filled the dimly lit room. “Wearing them always feels like I can’t breathe, like they’re suffocating me.” Her words were a confession, each syllable laced with a vulnerability she rarely showed, as if she were peeling back layers of herself to reveal something raw and unfiltered.

She paused, her gaze drifting to the lush greenery surrounding them, the faint...

Thud, thud, thud…

Lucas’s boots struck the wooden platform with measured, deliberate steps, each one echoing in the tense silence of the morning air. Mina trailed closely behind him, her cat-like ears twitching faintly as she clutched the folded military banner. The soldiers’ gazes converged on their lord, a mixture of anticipation and curiosity flickering in their eyes. Some couldn’t help but steal glances at Mina, quietly admiring the striking beauty of the cat-eared maid, tho...

In the heat of the moment, all sense of restraint had vanished for Fumika. She had conveniently forgotten that her sister, Sayuki, was still in the room, her presence a distant afterthought as she lost herself in Shuichi’s embrace. The warmth of his body, the rhythm of his breathing—it consumed her entirely, drowning out everything else. It wasn’t until Sayuki rose from her stool and strode to the bedside, planting her hands on the headboard and locking eyes with her sister, that realit...

The piercing, resonant shouts echoed through the air, one after another, cutting through the early morning stillness.

The familiar clamor stirred Lucas from his slumber. His eyes fluttered open slowly, and he gazed up at the wooden beams crisscrossing the ceiling of the barracks. For a moment, he was lost in thought, his mind drifting in the haze of half-sleep. It had been a late night—after conducting the camp inspection at two in the morning, he had decided to stay overnight in the ...

Sayuki

Tokyo Chapter 156

After the grueling workout, Shuichi collapsed onto the gym floor, his chest heaving as he stared up at Sayuki with an expression of utter disbelief. His muscles ached from the relentless handstand push-ups, and sweat glistened on his skin, catching the dim overhead lights. Sayuki stood over him, her toned figure silhouetted against the gym’s mirrored walls, her face flushed from exertion—or perhaps something else.

She caught his gaze and her cheeks reddened further, her eyes narrowi...

Crack! Thud!

In the heart of the military camp, inside Aiden’s barracks, the burly commander snapped his eyes open, his voice booming with irritation. “Who the hell is making that racket?!” He bellowed, his deep tone cutting through the stillness of the night.

Aiden leaped from his cot with the agility of a seasoned warrior, his massive frame moving with purpose. He dashed to the wooden clothes rack, yanking his uniform off its pegs and throwing it on with practiced speed. G...

'What was I thinking?' Naomi mentally chastised herself, her cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and urgency. Monday afternoons alternated between subjects every other week, and last week’s world history class meant this week was definitely health class. How had she forgotten something so basic? The realization hit her like a splash of cold water, snapping her out of the lingering haze from her earlier encounter with Shuichi Chiba.

Scrambling to her feet, Naomi began rifling t...

Whoosh!

The night wind howled fiercely, slicing through the air and stirring the surface of the Whispering River into restless ripples. The water shimmered faintly under the pale moonlight, its gentle lapping sounds mingling with the crackling of a bonfire blazing on the riverbank. The firewood snapped and popped, sending occasional sparks spiraling into the chilly night sky, where they flickered briefly before fading into the darkness.

It was around eleven o’clock at night, and...

I always thought of him.

That night. I turned away instead of following him.

Six months had passed since we parted ways after the graduation ceremony. A lot had happened during that time, but he still occupied a corner of my heart. Every time I tried to think of him, the memory of that night came flooding back. Each time I recalled the conversation we had that night, my chest ached, and I instinctively closed my eyes tightly.

‘Can you guarantee that the march to the Iron M...

Right after lunch, the sun was still blazing, but the villagers’ enthusiasm didn’t waver. They braved the heat, working hard on the road, digging and hauling. This road repair was a big deal—first, they’d lay down a layer of crushed gravel, then pour cement over it. That’d make it sturdy as hell.

“Wanna get rich? Fix the roads first.” That’s the damn truth.

Long Gen picked at his teeth, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and slipped down the back alle...

“I really thought I’d found love…” Naomi murmured, her voice thick with sorrow as she bit her lip. Her eyes shimmered with gathering tears, reflecting the dim light of the infirmary. The sting of betrayal was palpable in her trembling expression.

Losing to another woman would’ve been bad enough, but to be outdone by a man in this way? It wasn’t just heartbreak—it felt like a humiliating defeat, a blow to her pride that left her reeling. What kind of nonsense is this? she t...

"Crunch, crunch, crunch…"

Lucy, accompanied by Jones, stepped out of Dahlia’s home, their boots sinking into the freshly fallen snow that blanketed the cobblestone path. At the threshold, Lucy paused, her slender frame silhouetted against the dim glow of the lanterns lining the street. She turned her head, her eyes lingering on the closed door, a wistful sigh escaping her lips as she murmured, "I wonder when we’ll see each other again." The words hung in the frosty air, a quiet la...

“Harder.”

“You’ll hurt your hair.”

Despite my concern, Han So-Young kept her eyes tightly shut and didn’t respond. Her glossy hair was so close to my chest, almost touching. If she leaned in just a bit more, or if I took one step closer, we’d definitely make contact. But I didn’t have the courage to act first. I could only wait.

“…”

Maybe I was breathing too heavily. Perhaps it was nerves, but my breath slightly ruffled the hair on top of her head...

The little girl’s mother spoke gently but firmly, her voice carrying a mix of amusement and exasperation. “Miko-chan, Mommy didn’t lie to you, did she? I told you, little kids can’t get married. And even if you do get married, you still have to go to school. So stop being silly and come with me to school already.”

The small girl, her pigtails bouncing defiantly, wasn’t convinced. She dodged her mother’s outstretched hand, her tiny brows furrowed with determination. “I do...

In the royal capital, seven days had passed since Dahlia began selling her goods. During those seven days, Dahlia’s shop had been a whirlwind of activity, thronged with customers from dawn till dusk. Some came to purchase her wares, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and desire, while others lingered to probe into the origins of her exotic merchandise, their questions sharp and insistent, seeking to uncover the secrets behind her success.

There were even those who resorted to darker t...

Ichika Kitagawa

Tokyo Chapter 152

Talking with Ichika often left people scratching their heads, but Shuichi was used to it. Those who loved literature tended to have this quirk.

Enduring harm, huh?

It seemed she wasn’t as indifferent to others’ slander and scrutiny as Sumire had claimed. No such saint existed—everyone’s heart was made of flesh, and emotions were only natural.

After learning flower arrangement for a while, Shuichi noticed the late hour and returned to his room with his first creation....
