Title: The Return of Time by the Goddess
Unlike Ash, who chased the unknown, Flamme had no interest in exploring ruins or enthusiasm for treasure chests.
To her, the knowledge gained from Serie could never be rivaled by rummaging through ruins. Instead of wasting time exploring, she’d rather pursue her dream—teaching magic to all of humanity.
To that end, Flamme even vowed not to return to her teacher until she achieved her goal… to motivate herself.

Title: A Difference in Perspectives
Ash couldn’t hold back his urge to hit her, but Frieren quickly noticed his clenched fist.
However, Frieren wasn’t scared at all. She stopped smiling and warned seriously: “What’s that? You want to hit me, Ash?”
“What? You think I wouldn’t—”
“If you hit me now, I’ll cry again for three days.”
Without any threatening pressure, Frieren leaned her head forward slightly, issuing a strange warn...
Title: Frieren’s Inscrutable Nature
Despite her extreme reluctance, Frieren had no choice but to compromise with Ash if he wasn’t going to attack the mimic monster with magic.
Ash’s reason for not using magic was his concern that casting a spell in such a confined space would backfire on him. So, he didn’t want to use that method unless absolutely necessary.
Frieren’s fear of the dark and her wiggling backside were utterly comical, making Ash want to give ...
Title: Frieren: I’m Sure That Treasure Chest Has Something Good!
The blatant favoritism made Ash too lazy to complain. But his annoyed expression made Frieren, kneeling beside him, want to laugh.
Only because the atmosphere was quite formal did she hold back her laughter.
But Ash wasn’t one to take a loss lying down. He grabbed a few more books from the side and walked out: “I’m heading out. You guys chat, I’ll be back for dinner.”
“Don’t co...
Title: Two Time Management Experts
Crane—or Miss Crane.
Due to some highly coincidental factors outside the Holy Grail War, she was summoned as a Servant. Her Master wasn’t a Magus but an ordinary fashion designer. Perhaps they had some latent magical talent, but during their lifetime, they knew nothing of Magecraft.
“Crane’s Master passed away recently. Normally, a Servant would return to the Throne of Heroes after losing their Master, but Crane is a Caster...
Title: Head of Chaldea’s DD Online
The next day, noon.
Paris, International Airport.
Dragging a suitcase out of the airport, Naoki immediately spotted a man leaning against a railing not far away.
“Roman!”
“Ah… Natsukawa, you’re here?” Hearing Naoki call his name, Roman, dressed like a carefree traveler, turned to look at him. “It’s been a while—two years, right? I’m really glad you responded to my letter and contacted me. And...
Title: The Most Desired to Be Hugged
On the first day of moving into the apartment, Rin learned about the relationship between Merry and Naoki directly from Merry herself.
The two were engaged.
Rin wasn’t particularly shocked by this. After all, Naoki had said he was thirty years old. Despite looking youthful, it was about time for someone his age to settle down. Plus, Naoki and Merry seemed like a well-matched couple, so Rin congratulated them at the time.
<...
Title: Traditional Martial Arts
Time always passes so quickly. After Rin officially moved to Camelot Apartments, a month flew by in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Rin realized two important things about Naoki.
The first—he was so strong he didn’t even seem human!
*BAM!*
In the Martial Arts classroom on the ground floor of the Clock Tower, with a single punch, a smiling Naoki sent a burly-looking student crashing into the wall, then tur...
Title: The Transformation of Yuuki Asuna
On the same night, Asuna finally finished her tutoring session for the day.
Her mother drove in front, while Asuna stared out the window at the pitch-black, starless night sky, as if peering into another world, her gaze distant and dreamy.
“Asuna.” Her mother, Yuuki Kyouko, suddenly called, pulling her back to reality. “There was a test at tutoring today, right? How did you do?”
“Oh, yes.” Awkwardly pulli...
Title: Teenage Troubles
“Let’s end our talk here. Turns out, we didn’t discuss anything important today.”
Picking up his empty bento box, Yuu ignored Yukino’s piercing glare. He checked the time and prepared to return to class.
“I’ve got a part-time job after school. We’ll talk about the autumn exhibition another time. I’ll drop by again if I have a chance.”
“You could just disappear, no problem. I can handle it myself,” Yukino repli...
Title: The Old Purpose
Though he didn’t meet her eyes, Yuu knew she was referring to Haruno.
After all, in his memory, Haruno had once said something like this:
“She always wants to prove she’s not weaker than me. Too bad, aside from clinging to that meaningless first-place spot, she hasn’t done anything else~”
If her attitude toward outsiders was already so dismissive, then toward the person herself, with her personality, it must be even more ext...
Title: In Short, Stubborn as Hell
As if to retaliate for that laugh, or perhaps to settle last week’s grudge.
After inviting him into the classroom, Yukino disregarded the etiquette of a quiet meal, countering every word Yuu said, even picking topics to argue about out of nowhere.
Victory for the girl was simple: make him so embarrassed he’d be speechless and feel inferior.
Unfortunately, Yuu wasn’t the type to revel in verbal sparring, but he also wa...
Title: The Second Confrontation
Teachers’ Office
“You want to eat lunch in the Service Club?”
Setting down her manga, Hiratsuka looked at Yuu in surprise.
The instant noodle timer dinged right on cue. She picked up her chopsticks and answered casually, “Sure. The key’s over there, grab it yourself. Just lock the door when you leave.”
“Thanks, Sensei.”
Scanning the office desk, Yuu quickly spotted the Service Club key, but i...
Title: This Is How a True Disciple Should Be
Dawn broke, the sky adorned with silvery-white hues. A thin mist enveloped the winding river.
Three people walked leisurely through this scenery.
Though Flamme had said she would report to her teacher, their journey was relaxed, as if they were strolling rather than hurrying.
Along the way, they stopped in a flower-filled meadow to enjoy a moment of peace and beauty, or climbed large rocks to gaze at the surround...
Title: Flamme Who Arrived Late, The Duty of a Disciple
From a distance, Flamme had seen the signs of battle and pillars of light piercing the sky. She hurried over, but she was one step too late.
By the time she arrived, the battle was over. But what shocked her was… there were still many survivors in the village.
The demon general’s armor and weapon lay empty on the ground, making her realize that the people in this village had managed to defeat their opponent,...
Title: Thank You, You Annoying Jerk
Faced with the predicament of being unable to free his foot from the ground, Ash only felt annoyed. Basalt, on the other hand, felt deeply humiliated:
“I’ll kill you… I’ll definitely kill you! Human!!”
“Ah~ hold on a sec.” Ash looked up at the sword. He brushed the dust off his clothes, shaking his head with a smile: “You seem to have misunderstood something.”
“What?”
“I’m actually a dem...
Title: The Exchange of Offense and Defense
The massive sword, larger than Ash’s body, struck down, and under the influence of abnormal gravity, the ground trembled and cracked.
Though the swirling dust was affected by the strange gravity, small stones still exploded in all directions, some hitting Ash, causing him to wince in pain.
This scene was caught by Millie, who had just stepped out of her room. Initially, Millie worried that Ash would be easily defeated, bu...
Title: Fighting the Demon General
The demons, who had initially sneaked into the village from all directions, brazenly revealed themselves after realizing there were two mages in their midst. They no longer bothered to conceal their auras.
Their leader was not a mage but a warrior wielding a massive sword, clad in heavy armor, with two large demon horns protruding from his head.
Suddenly surrounded by a group of demons, Ash and Frieren instantly heightened their ale...
Title: Tohsaka Rin: Did I Just Walk Into Someone’s Harem?
As Rin followed Merry to the dining room, five people were already seated there.
Besides Artoria and Okita, whom she already knew, there were three others.
One was a silver-haired girl in a gray cloak, looking somewhat petite. Whether it was just her imagination, Rin felt that the faces of Artoria, Okita, and this girl were as if they were molded from the same template.
No two leaves in this world ...
Title: The Condition of This Villa Is Too C97
Camelot Villa.
This was the apartment where Artoria and the others currently lived, and also the apartment where Rin would live in the future.
And now, in the living room of this apartment.
“I’m so sorry! I mismanaged my time and arrived late!”
Facing Merry, the apartment’s owner, Rin, sitting across from her, bowed her head sincerely in apology.
Merry waved her hand with a relaxed expr...
Title: A Few Old Stories Before That
London.
To preserve the mystery of magecraft, it blends into the surface city of London, but in truth, through various forms of Magecraft, this city centered around the Clock Tower is hidden within London—that’s roughly the nature of the place.
Here, the majority of Magi from the Western magical world gather. Nine out of ten people aiming to study the path of Magecraft come here to pursue their education.
The Clock T...
Title: Stay with Me for a While at This End
Two hours after Roman left.
In his room, Naoki lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Though he had been lying there for half a month, during that time, Naoki’s consciousness had actually been intermittently awake—awake for a few hours, then asleep for a few seconds. He hadn’t gotten any effective rest, almost as if he’d been awake for the entire half-month.
Even as a Half-Fairy, not resting properly for ...
Title: The Online Game Wife Is Really a Woman
The next evening, after confirming via LINE that Asuna could log in today, Yuu logged into the game five minutes early. But as soon as he felt his body again, he froze for a moment.
“This…”
Yuu, who should’ve logged out standing, now logged in lying down. Confused, he lifted the blanket and sat up on the bed.
Did logging out in a room mean he’d automatically log back in as if waking up? Why did this ga...
Title: Summer Hasn’t Left, the Cool Breeze Still Blows
“Tch, when the mid-term exam results come out, let’s see if you still dare call me an idiot.”
“Haha, why wouldn’t I? You’re just mid-tier in our grade, don’t get too cocky!”
“What if I make it into the top five this time?”
“No way! I know Yuu-kun’s abilities best~ If you get into the top five, I’ll… I’ll go on a date with you! How’s that?”
“No thanks, somet...
Title: Can’t Log Out?
After briefly understanding the changes brought by the marriage status and discussing the next steps and preparations for heading to the Land of Love, the time showed 8:30 PM. Asuna prepared to log out and rest.
“Next time we log in…” Her finger tapped the corner of her soft lips as Asuna thought for a moment. “If nothing comes up, maybe the same time?”
“Then tomorrow, meet at this inn?”
“Mm, until tomorrow.” Seeing...
Title: Getting Married Just Like That?
Though it was said there was something awkward between them, only Asuna felt uneasy, while Yuu remained completely calm, his heart at ease.
Since Nun Martha finished her story, Yuu had already anticipated this kind of development—the only unexpected part was that he thought the system would make him actively pursue being Asuna’s online boyfriend. Instead, it had planted a hint here, still preparing the necessary identity to complete...
Title: Will Yukinoshita’s Scenery Change?
At the same time, in the Yukinoshita family residence.
“I’ve contacted the moving company. Tomorrow… how about I take leave to help you move?”
“No need to trouble yourself, Father. The moving company is enough, and I can handle the rest myself.”
Yukino firmly declined her father’s offer, ignoring his slightly hurt expression, and left the living room. Mrs. Yukinoshita stood at the doorway, her expre...
Title: Who Are They Here For?
A pair of dimly glowing eyes peered at the village from the darkness. These uninvited guests seemed to be waiting for everyone to fall asleep to launch an easy attack.
However, Ash, staying up late, also noticed the night’s unusually eerie atmosphere. Instinctively, he left his room and…
*CRASH*
He kicked down Frieren’s door.
The already dilapidated door—or rather, one he’d already broken—fell forward, kick...
Title: The Secret to Elves’ Longevity
Compared to Frieren and the other elves in the village, Ash was so active that Frieren began to suspect humans died young because they worked too much.
But now, realizing the issue, Ash… didn’t let her take back her words at all.
Not only did Frieren complain, but Ash also pouted: “It’s just gotten dark, and you’re telling me to rest??”
“…Go find Millie; she’s probably still drinking at night. She’...
Title: Frieren’s Regret
After giving up on waking Frieren, Ash followed Millie, leaving Frieren’s room to head to Millie’s wine cellar… or rather, her home.
Seeing the densely packed wine barrels in the stone house, he felt dizzy:
“…Why is there so much wine here?”
“Hehe~” Millie didn’t answer his question but picked up a bottle and proudly introduced it: “Do you know? This is Emperor’s Wine~?”
“Nope.”
“Empe...
