Title: Current Online Girlfriend
The main hall of Sobu High was packed with students. The host on stage was adjusting the microphone, preparing to start the morning assembly. The buzz, like the start of summer, filled the air, but no air conditioning could cool the atmosphere. It was likely that until the assembly officially began, the students’ chatter wouldn’t quiet down.
Class 2-F was positioned in a corner of the hall, with Yuu standing in the third row, fifth column...
Title: An Unchangeable Miracle
In the morning, Ash, who was unusually relaxed, was learning from Frieren how to identify edible wild vegetables in the bushes.
Frieren, who had never asked why Ash appeared here at this particular time, suddenly remembered something. She looked up at him and asked: “This might be sudden, but Ash… are you afraid of dying?”
“Huh… isn’t that too sudden?” Ash turned with a puzzled look, but his expression grew serious: “If...
Title: Peaceful Times
In Frieren’s wooden cabin, the two enjoyed lunch together happily, chatting casually throughout the afternoon.
Afterward, as night fell, they took a walk together in the forest.
Ash also shamelessly crashed for the night on the cabin’s floor.
The next morning, Frieren brought him to a vast hill not far from there.
Among the continuous hills, the expansive land seemed covered in a sacred veil, with countless white flowers b...
Title: Frieren the Vengeful
Though Frieren was still a bit slow when it came to human emotions and there were many things she didn’t understand, when she patted Ash’s head, she clearly saw the wary expression on his face.
This reminded her of their time learning together. She gave a small smile with a hint of nostalgia and shook her head: “What are you thinking? Aren’t we friends? No way I’d actually attack you.”
“……”
(Since when did she...
Title: Frieren’s Palliative Care?
The reunion after a thousand years initially left Ash genuinely moved.
At least when he first saw his old friend, he truly wanted to embrace her. But… the subsequent developments were completely beyond his expectations.
Now… having his head patted by Frieren, an action clearly meant for someone older to do to someone younger, Ash instinctively complained. He placed both hands on Frieren’s shoulders, gently pushing her away, ...
Title: A Touching Reunion That’s Not Quite Touching
No matter how Ash looked at it, the person in front of him, picking wild vegetables in the bushes, was clearly his old friend and apprentice-nephew whom he thought he’d never meet again—Frieren.
Meeting again after a thousand years, her stunned expression upon seeing him made Ash unconsciously flash a meaningful smile.
As her teacher-uncle, he felt he should be understanding of Frieren, who might cry, and spr...
Title: Doctor, Hell Lies Ahead
Chaldea, Medical Room.
After finishing organizing data on the computer, Roman rubbed his eyes. “Phew~ That was exhausting. Compiling and memorizing all the health data of Chaldea’s staff is really draining.”
The medical division currently had a small staff. Although Marisbury had begun recruiting globally, Roman still bore a heavy workload. As a doctor, understanding each patient’s physical condition was the most critical task....
Title: Lev Lainur Flauros
In the reception room of Chaldea.
“It’s been two years, Mr. Natsukawa.” Marisbury greeted him enthusiastically, shaking his hand.
“Although I did send word that Chaldea has been successfully built, I didn’t expect you to come so quickly. The Operations Division hasn’t even been fully formed yet.”
“I just wanted to check out the situation. After all, I might be staying here for a long time in the future, right? Getti...
Title: I’m Back, Chaldea
“—So that’s roughly what happened.” Merry listened to Naoki’s account of the week in Mifune City, and in the dream world, she comforted him with words while secretly laughing her head off.
“But speaking of, I didn’t expect Atalanta to fall for you too. If you count the time, you’ve known each other for six years, right? It’s a miracle you two held back for so long.”
“Do I look like some automatic human-shaped gun that...
Title: The Manager: I Must Take Action
The place Shiki mentioned wasn’t within Mifune City but on a road leading to the hilltop outside the city.
Leaning against the railing and gazing at the view of Mifune City not far away, Naoki was slightly surprised. Shiki, of all people, had brought him to such a classic scenic spot.
“The view here is pretty nice. I found it during one of my nighttime walks. When I’m upset, I come here for a bit.” Shiki said, leaning a...
Title: Offline Chat
“You, it’s been almost a week—where’s that third club member you promised?”
Early in the morning.
At Sobu High’s faculty office, Hiratsuka tapped the desk irritably, her appearance with a lollipop in her mouth resembling a female delinquent.
Standing before her, Yuu replied obediently: “I’m looking, I’m looking, just haven’t found the right one yet.”
“I told you to find a club member, not a girlfriend! Di...
Title: Nothing Left to Fear
“Hey?! Asu…”
This time, it was Yuu’s turn to be caught off guard, his calm expression cracking.
“That’s my comment, Yuu-kun… No.”
Her brown hair tilted, Asuna grinned as she leaned against his shoulder, her sweet, warm breath brushing the side of Yuu’s face, her voice soft and alluring as it slipped into his ear.
And she said, word by word:
“My darling~”
Yuu froze.
“…T...
Title: No Singles Allowed
“Asuna, look at that.”
Yuu’s voice snapped her out of her wandering thoughts. Asuna quickly wiped the odd expression from her face and responded, pretending to be serious:
“What is it?”
Following his gaze, on the gray brick road leading to the civil registry office, the bustling shopping area had given way to a residential district. The clamor of merchants faded, replaced by…
Couples and married pairs everywher...
Title: Entering the Land of Love
Holding Asuna’s hand, Yuu passed through the crystal gate. The first thing he checked was his system panel.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host received reward: Expert-Level Tennis]
Apparently, doing this spontaneously earned quite a few points.
Thinking so, Yuu felt the small hand in his palm slip away like a mischievous little fish.
Turning, Asuna hid her hands behind her back, raising her fair chin and looking...
Title: It Must Be a System Bug!
Rock shards scattered through the air. Asuna suddenly twisted her waist ninety degrees, dodging a swinging arm aimed at her head. Her rapier transformed into a spray of starlight, fiercely stabbing at the statue’s head as if vowing to pierce it through.
But with only a few sharp clangs, the crystal statue remained unfazed, attacking the girl in front of it again, even with the rapier still embedded in its body.
“Stabbing the heart...
Title: Becoming the Disciple of the Omniscient
Ash might not know other demons, but the demon standing before him was one he had heard of. He was the Demon King’s confidant and deputy, the great demon known as the Omniscient—Schlacht.
Moreover, like Frank, he also possessed the magic of foresight.
Schlacht was an impatient person. Seeing that Ash seemed to grasp the situation and was used to dealing with people who could see the future like them, he nodded silen...
Title: Becoming the Disciple of the Southern Hero
Facing Frank, who seemed youthful yet mature, Ash stared at his outstretched hand for a moment before suppressing the urge to complain.
Though what his opponent said was highly mysterious, somewhat beyond his current knowledge, and even felt a bit suspicious.
But his intuition told him this person wasn’t a villain using deceit as he had imagined.
This made him hesitate. Finally, with a “if I get fooled, ...
Title: The Cycle of Tragedy
Ash’s bewildered expression, fully observed by Frank, made him unable to hold back his laughter: “Haha! As expected, you’d make that face. But… I’m not lying to you, because you’re absolutely right.”
“…Stop talking in riddles. Can’t we discuss something more concrete?” Ash felt his patience wearing thin with this guy.
At that moment, his opponent calmed down and spoke slowly: “This will be a bit long. First… when...
Title: A Collaboration Between the Hero and the Future Demon King?
Just by facing him, Ash could already sense a powerful threat from this young man—Frank.
Even Frieren couldn’t compare to him. Serie, who was in a league of her own, didn’t count. Perhaps only Flamme, who was nearly fifty when Ash left, could match him.
(So young, yet already this strong?)
As Ash muttered to himself, the young man smiled and said something strange, even directly reveal...
Title: The Strongest Human in the Future?
In the snowy plains he passed through upon arriving.
Whether he misremembered or not, Ash, who had returned to this space and time, felt… the appearance of the snowy plains seemed to have undergone significant changes from the past.
Was it because the war was still ongoing? —He couldn’t be sure now.
But when he was sent back, he already had a slight understanding of the current situation, so he wasn’t too pa...
Title: Mrs. Natsukawa, Lend Me Your Husband for a Bit
“If I’m heading to the Ryougi family’s place now, should I call first?”
“No, I think their people have already informed them.”
Before Shiki could step out of the narrow alley, her ears caught a conversation like that. Upon hearing the two voices, she immediately understood who the acquaintance mentioned by Mifune’s mother in her prophecy was.
Stepping out of the alley, her gaze shifted to t...
Title: Mother of Mifune
According to Shiki, the work at the Ryougi family was a bit troublesome.
Although as the heir to the Ryougi family, she didn’t need to handle much directly—just give orders—perhaps due to her personality since youth, she didn’t enjoy staying at the Ryougi estate constantly. In a week, she was absent from home at least three days.
The entire Ryougi family always had headaches over their headstrong leader. It wasn’t that they disapproved...
Title: Miss Kitty, the Shrine, Three Days and Three Nights
The next morning.
At the sports field of a high school in Mifune City.
Naoki and Atalanta stood at the starting line of the running track.
“The rules are the same as before. Any method to win is fine, right?” Atalanta asked. “But your trick of opening a spatial gate is banned.”
“Even without you saying, I know that’s too unfair for you.”
A race.
That was what...
Title: Neko-sensei from Mifune City
Mifune City.
Inside the teachers’ room of an elementary school.
“Phew~ That’s enough work for today. Time to head home.”
Atalanta, dressed in a teacher’s uniform, tidied her desk, turned off all the lights, and left the office.
It was already 5:30 p.m. If this were a middle or high school, there might still be students around, but this was an elementary school. Even the kids in after-school clubs had lo...
Title: I’d Rather You Think of Weird Things
After the brief commotion settled.
Yuu finally managed to calm the furious Asuna. He packed up the tent, stood with her in front of the stone-filled mine, and began explaining the mission:
“First, we assume the coordinates from the Beloved Ring are correct, or we’d have no idea where to start.”
“Then, if the coordinates are right, the entrance is definitely here—we just haven’t found it or triggered ...
Title: Never Fear the Mother-in-Law
Having realized what he needed to do, the next day unfolded.
The morning was filled with classes as usual, the afternoon spent at the cafe training the new part-time worker, and the evening returning home to cook dinner for his sister.
After completing this routine, around eight in the evening, twilight arrived.
Before going online, Yuu called Kouichirou, planning to gather some information from him first.
After ...
Title: That’s for Making the Girls Smile with Satisfaction!
As consciousness returned, the silent ruins came into view, like an ancient scene that never changed.
This time, however, a golden orb like the sun hung in the sky, illuminating the gray snow veil with a brilliant, soft golden glow, bringing a touch of visual warmth to the cold, indifferent space.
Yuu stared at it like a dazed fool for a long time, then withdrew his gaze, rubbing his eyes with a hint of e...
Title: Tenkuji Yuu Has a Dream
Inside the tent, the lamp glowed softly, illuminating the darkness in their pupils.
Huddled in their sleeping bags, they faced each other from opposite sides, yet somehow it felt like chatting by a fireplace.
“A goal?” Asuna blinked in confusion. “Why ask that out of nowhere?”
“Just seeking advice for a friend,” Yuu said with a faint smile, once again using his imaginary friend as a shield.
An imaginary fr...
Title: The Online Game Routine Continues
With an aura of freshness and decisiveness distinct from the real world, Asuna tidied the sleeping bag she’d used, then stepped out of the tent alongside the man beside her.
Facing the silence and tranquility of the night outside, she raised her fist enthusiastically, exclaiming with a touch of cuteness:
“Okay—today we have to find the entrance to the Land of Love! Grandma Martha’s still waiting for us at the church!...
Title: News of Death
Initially, after getting confirmation from Frieren, Flamme felt a bit uneasy but wasn’t overly worried that something had happened.
However, for some reason, by the second day, Ash still hadn’t returned.
Of course, situations like this could happen sometimes. Afterward, even if Ash returned with a few injuries, he’d come back unscathed.
After all, with Ash’s usual strength, there was no need to worry. But on the third day, the f...
