Title: The Meaning of a Rental Girlfriend
“Tenkuji-kun, can I be honest?”
A little past 4 p.m., inside the Ferris wheel.
Chizuru lazily shook the sports drink bottle in her hand, gazing listlessly at the view outside the window.
“Honest about what?” Yuu didn’t mind that she’d dropped her girlfriend act even though the time wasn’t up yet.
The three-plus hours of experience had been enough, and her more natural demeanor now actually mad...
Title: Faster—No, I’m Still Faster
“This shopping center was just built. It’s like a mini amusement park.”
Stepping off the shuttle bus, Chizuru led Yuu to a shopping center called “Mitsui.”
The holiday crowd was as expected. Western-style buildings lined up like a chessboard, crisscrossing along bright orange-tiled streets.
The scorching midday sun turned the distant Ferris wheel into a mirage. Occasionally, mist from the rooftops cooled visi...
Title: The First Effective Lightning Strike
Solomon’s use of Summoning Magecraft caught Naoki off guard.
Yet, at the same time, it wasn’t Naoki who employed Summoning Magecraft, but Rei—something Solomon hadn’t anticipated either.
After briefly glancing at Rei, Solomon’s eyes flickered slightly. “An autonomous puppet housing the Holy Grail, formed from a special Philosopher’s Stone. A truly remarkable Mystic Code—one could say she’s another Servant...
Title: Atomic Lightning Lightspeed Sword!
*BOOMMMMMM!*
An indigo beam from a cannon suddenly swept across the street!
After blasting away a horde of demon spirits in front of her, Aoko panted. “What are these things? Why do they feel almost like Naoki in that mode?”
“They should be similar to spirits, and probably created by Caster.”
Having seen the so-called Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars, Touko could sense that the countless demon spirits ...
Title: Seiki, Not Sekiro
Over the past ten years, Summoning Magecraft had been Naoki’s most trusted Magecraft, the foundation of his entire strength.
“I didn’t expect you to replicate it like this.”
Demons, monsters, demi-humans, demon gods… such creatures now filled Naoki’s entire field of vision, occupying most of Fuyuki City’s sky and land. Everywhere he looked, everything had transformed into spirits entirely different from before.
Floatin...
Title: A Date with Mizuhara Chizuru
Staring at each other, Chizuru looked like she had a lot of questions but didn’t know where to start.
Yuu placed his hat on the table, taking the initiative to break the ice: “I didn’t cause you any trouble yesterday, did I? My body reeked of barbecue, and I was so close to you. It’s impressive you didn’t show the slightest bit of disgust.”
Pausing for a moment, Chizuru brushed the hair by her ear, then said with a wry...
Title: Tenkuji Yuu Also Hires a Rental Girlfriend
July 27, still summer vacation.
With no side jobs and Haruno not inviting him out, Yuu opened a rental girlfriend website. Two female avatars appeared on the page.
Mizuhara Chizuru, Sakurasawa Sumi.
The experimental and control groups he specifically noted while searching for “colleagues.”
Side by side, their differences were clear from the photos—Chizuru’s profile pictures were meticulously...
Title: Teaching Yuu a Lesson in the Name of Big Brother
The next morning, Yuu received a message from Kouichirou.
Kouichirou: {Haiz, I was gonna give you my helmet, but my little sister took it. Ordering a new one will take about a week. I’ll deliver it myself.}
Yuu: {Hmm, no need to trouble yourself. Just ship it.}
Kouichirou: {Don’t be like that~ Once the helmet’s delivered, we can grab a meal together, right? I’ve got a lot to talk about with you...
Title: Sharp Eyes
Tears gushing out like a fountain perfectly described the current situation.
As if a faucet had been turned on in his eyeballs, an unimaginable torrent of liquid poured from his eyes, instantly soaking his cheeks, shirt collar, and streaming downward.
“Damn it, why?!”
Only managing a quick curse, Yuu hurriedly lowered his head, letting all the liquid—whether tears or something else—flow into the sink.
At the same time, he ...

Title: Imaginary Manifestation
Fuyuki City was eerily quiet, with not a soul in sight. Whether in Shin-to or Miyama-cho, every corner was devoid of human presence, empty like a ghost town.
“This city is truly desolate.”
At the top of Fuyuki Bridge, Marisbury gazed down at the city below.
“Is this the masterpiece of a Magus on your level, King?”
“Yes, but surely with help from others. With personal strength alone, it couldn’t have been c...
Title: Waiting for His Return Here
The sixth day of the Holy Grail War, as the sky over Fuyuki City was once again shrouded in moonlight and darkness.
At Marisbury’s residence.
“The time is almost here. From now until sunrise, this city will become the battlefield that determines the outcome of the Holy Grail War.”
Though five groups of participants remained, after observing over the past few days, Marisbury was certain that, aside from himself and Na...
Title: Reunion the Night Before the Decisive Battle
The rooftop.
Shiki sat at the edge, gazing at the sky, idly twirling a short knife in her hand.
“You’re here, Shiki.”
A voice came from behind. Shiki glanced back and sighed. “It’s you, idiot.”
“It’s been five years—can’t you change that nickname?” Naoki smiled nostalgically, then sat beside her. “Why are you up here alone? They’re starting to prepare dinner downstairs. Y...
Title: Gundam is a Man’s Romance, Women Won’t Understand
In the living room on the first floor.
“Oh, you’re here. What were you two doing upstairs?”
Seeing Naoki and Rei come down, Aoko immediately smiled and waved.
After exchanging glances, the two shook their heads.
“Nothing much, just looking after Merry. She’s a bit weak from building the illusion barrier.”
“Her being weak is rare. Could she be faking it?” Touko cou...
Title: The World Becomes Beautiful Because of Her
Crispy-Skinned Roast Meat, Transformer Egg Fried Rice, Sichuan Pepper Grilled Mackerel with Mashed Potatoes.
These dishes came from a cooking manga that tore clothes apart in his previous life, Haru… Shokugeki no Soma. Yuu only remembered their names, not the recipes, so theoretically, he shouldn’t have been able to make them.
But the system was there to rub theory’s face into the ground repeatedly.
On...
Title: The Temptation of Coming Home
The filming was over, but the atmosphere on set was strangely quiet.
Yuu endured the odd stares from the entire crew, as if they’d just seen someone shout “Henshin!” on the street and actually transform into a Kamen Rider. He walked toward the camera assistant.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Casually taking back his grilled skewers and belongings from the assistant, Yuu turned and bowed to the crew, flashing a br...
Title: Perfect Acting That Commands the Stage
The script wasn’t thick, the dialogue was sparse, and the theme was simple.
[At dusk, a girl by the golden Hoshimi River is proposed to by a man, but she rejects him because her heart belongs to another. The man can’t accept it, his demeanor darkens, and he tries to embrace her and jump into the river to die together. However, she kicks him in the groin. The final scene stops as the girl turns heroically and walks away, witho...
Title: Ichinose Chizuru
Yuu finally agreed.
It had nothing to do with Kouhei, the hard drive resources he’d lose, or even the woman named Ichinose Chizuru.
He had simply called Sora:
{Met a show crew on the street. How should I handle it?}
After briefly explaining the situation, Yuu turned to Kouhei and asked, “Which channel will this air on? When’s the broadcast?”
After getting the answer and relaying it to Sora, he immediately re...
Title: All Resources on the Hard Drive Will Be Shared with Netizens, No Backups
Near the Tenkuji family home, there was a river called Hoshimi.
Its waters were clear, and at night, the stars in the sky reflected on its surface, hence the name Hoshimi (Star-Viewing).
By this river stood a yakitori stall that had been open for ten years. The owner was wealthy; after retiring, he opened the stall to experience life.
Yuu wasn’t particularly close with him, bu...
Title: Which Pure Little Sister Would Ask, “Is Onii-chan Selling Himself Outside?”
Inside the car on the way home, Yuu suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, the results of that ‘trial’…”
“Hm? I thought you didn’t care.”
At a red light, Haruno pressed the brake.
Yuu glanced at her with narrowed eyes. “If I didn’t ask, were you planning to just brush it off?”
“Hehe~”
Haruno admitted casually, with...
Title: Dating? No, It’s Paid
“Didn’t I already say? Coach and student.”
Haruno swiftly shut down Kouichirou’s question. Her next sentence instantly turned his disbelieving expression into a sour grimace.
“Information exchange should be based on equality between both parties. If you want to know more, give me something more interesting than the fact that you’re an otaku.”
The corners of Kouichirou’s lips twitched twice. He lowered his head,...
Title: That Was Truly Over the Top
The waiting area outside the restroom felt somewhat quiet.
Yuu sat on a long bench, examining his swollen and scraped right hand. He clenched it slowly, no longer feeling the tearing pain from before, only a sensation like a machine freshly lubricated, making him feel oddly uneasy.
As for his wrist, it still ached slightly when moved, but not enough to require a hospital visit.
“Thank goodness all the damage was concentr...
Title: Someone in a State of Extreme Anger
Haruno stood nearby, clearly observing how Yuu took a deep breath and focused.
Her gaze unconsciously fixed on his exposed arm—broad shoulders, defined and taut muscles despite not yet exerting force, comparable to Kouichirou’s.
Perhaps because of his fair skin, Yuu didn’t look bulky but gave off an impression of solid, healthy strength, more pleasing to the eye than the overly muscular men seen elsewhere.
Ju...
Title: Let’s Try 100% First
Setting aside currently useless abilities, Yuu now had Extreme Anger (Status) [One-Time], Muscle Mastery (Status), Learning (Proficient Level), and Instant Recovery (Minor Injuries) [One-Time], which he could use for the upcoming punching strength test.
Of course, the most crucial was Muscle Mastery, which allowed him to exert 100% of his strength, even surpassing his limits.
Yuu had never trained specifically, so despite several physic...
Title: The Corridor is an Accident-Prone Zone
Sajyou Rei wasn’t lying.
To use Summoning Magecraft on par with Naoki, she needed to adjust her body’s structure to resemble that of a fairy and spirit. For her, originally a Logos React Replica, this wasn’t impossible.
However, it required a template.
Thus, she needed to fully analyze Naoki’s current physical structure.
The second goal was similar: besides the body, Mana was also key to the eff...
Title: The Wife in Front
Merry claimed she had delegated all the work of building the barrier to others, but in reality, activating the barrier still required her presence. After all, only she could sustain an illusion encompassing the entire city.
As flowers began to dance around Merry, beams of invisible light started rising from various corners of Fuyuki City, connecting with the thousands of fluttering flowers, gradually forming a network that enveloped all of Fuyuki.

Title: Merry Begins to Tell Her Story
Moments after leaving the Tohsaka Residence, Naoki appeared at the top of Fuyuki Bridge.
“Merry, I’m done—what are you doing?”
“Huh? King… Waaah! My ice cream!”
Merry sitting at the edge, was startled by the voice from behind, nearly dropping her ice cream container. After deftly catching it, she patted her chest. “Phew~ Thank goodness I caught it… Don’t suddenly open a portal and scare me like that,...
Title: I’m a Man Who Lives for My Little Sister
Yuu returned to the group of university students, observing the first contender—the half-blonde guy, Yamada Daisuke—who enthusiastically put on the boxing gloves, showing off his tanned, fairly muscular right arm, staring intently at the punching bag that appeared in front of him.
Each session allowed three punches, and they would compare the highest score.
So, to achieve peak performance, the first two punches s...
