Dao Of Heaven

Chapter 189: Such a Beautiful Moonlit Night

When Eriri and Arifureta left the maid café, it was already close to five o'clock. It wasn't particularly early, but it wasn't too late either, so they didn't feel the need to wrap up their date. They continued to stroll around the bustling streets of Akihabara. As they stepped out of an anime merchandise store, Eriri's phone rang.

Seeing the name displayed on the screen, Eriri smiled and answered.

"Miss me already, Utaha-senpai? It's only been an hour," she teased.

To Erir...

Chapter 258: Hello, Type-Moon Universe, I Am Selene

"Your Majesty, Commander Alex reports that they have temporarily captured a leader from one of the territories in this other world…"

"Oh? Temporary capture? Why's that? What's so special about this captive that it warrants a report… This is a minor matter; Alex can handle it as he sees fit," Selene replied, opening her eyes from the lavish lounge chair, a bit puzzled.

From the moment Selene began observing this new world, her interest quickly waned. The Gastrea Virus could do ...

Chapter 257: Your Choice?

Rumble—

Inside the city hall bunker.

The ornaments on the table rattled intensely as the vibrations continued, heightening the anxiety etched on the faces of the Tokyo Metropolitan government officials hiding in the bunker.

Bang!

Listening to the ear-splitting explosions echoing outside and watching the grievous losses among their self-defense forces on the monitor, Kikunojou Tendo clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. "Damn it! Where did these tin cans come...

Chapter 475: Mission Accomplished

Descending into the area beneath the main hall, it seemed far larger than the hall itself—akin to a football field in size. As they walked down the stairs, they were enveloped in pitch darkness, with only the faintest glimmers of light barely visible.

Kaguya raised her hand and snapped her fingers, summoning several orbs of flame to hover in the air, illuminating the vast space.

"What is this…?" Kiritsugu looked around, stunned by the massive magical circuit before him. Even a...

Chapter 474: The Stubborn People

"You're still alive?" Kaguya looked at the Conqueror King on his chariot in surprise.

"Haha, of course!" Rider laughed heartily. "Though that shiny golden fellow was indeed powerful—nearly took me down. That was close!"

Kaguya's eyebrow twitched. Did he not care that he was just giving the enemy undue praise?

"By the way, you do know that 'Goldie' is already done for, right?" Kaguya remarked.

"Oh, really?" Rider scratched his head, looking somewhat surprised. "I didn...

Chapter 169: I Was Proposed To!

After admiring herself in the mirror for a while, Kotomi turned to open her wardrobe.

It wasn't to pick out clothes—what she wore yesterday had been washed last night and was already dry after being brought in from the balcony this morning. Kotomi opened the wardrobe mainly to pick out new socks—specifically, stockings.

For some reason, she just hadn't fully adjusted yet. Yesterday, when she was out in short socks, every breeze on her exposed legs gave her a slight, chilly sen...

Chapter 168: Kazumi: Born to Be a System

A reclusive young man, living in his own secluded world, encounters a lively, radiant girl named Sakura due to an unusual coincidence. Their meeting might seem like a typical drama, with the girl battling a terminal illness and documenting her journey in a diary that the boy happens to find, intertwining their lives from that moment on.

At first glance, the plot may seem ordinary, but it's the kind of story that, once read, has readers deeply moved.

In her past life, Kotomi had th...

Chapter 188: The Little Fangirl

After leaving the Bookstore, Eriri and Arifureta didn't head home right away. Instead, they continued strolling around the bookstore area. Located in Tokyo's Akihabara, Fujikawa Fantastic Bookstore was in the heart of what's often called the "Otaku Paradise," surrounded by electronics shops, model toy stores, anime merchandise shops, and themed cafes. Among these, maid cafés were especially popular, with servers in various maid outfits beckoning customers from the street.

Eriri and Ari...

Chapter 187: Utaha Kasumigaoka’s Resolve

"Hey, Utaha-senpai," Eriri greeted, waving with a smile as she looked over at Utaha Kasumigaoka at the signing table. "So, Utaha-senpai is actually Utako Kasumi-sensei, huh?"

"You don't seem very surprised, Sawamura-san," Utaha replied, a little taken aback. She had imagined several scenarios for their meeting, but Eriri's nonchalant reaction wasn't one of them.

"Oh, no, I'm totally surprised." Eriri chuckled, though there wasn't a hint of real surprise on her face.

Utaha le...

Chapter 473: Battle for the Holy Grail

Kaguya had always assumed that her task, as assigned by the system, was to eliminate every Heroic Spirit and then summon the Greater Grail with the Lesser Grail to fulfill her mission. Now, however, she realized her objective was the opposite: not to summon the Greater Grail, but to destroy it. The difference couldn't have been more stark.

Her first reaction was, "What a scam," and her second was, "So Gilgamesh died for nothing."

But with this revelation, her mission seemed signif...

Chapter 472: The Treacherous System

"Cough… impossible," Gilgamesh rasped, gritting his teeth.

"Why not?" Kaguya leaned down with a playful smile. "At the end of the day, it's because you're simply not good enough."

"Damn you," Gilgamesh seethed, his eyes aflame with fury, though he was too injured to do anything but glare at her.

In truth, Gilgamesh was indeed powerful—or rather, his Gate of Babylon and the Ea sword were formidable. Ea excelled at destroying pseud...

Chapter 256: Landing, Black Bullet

The old apartment had seen better days. Though still relatively clean, patches of peeling paint marred its walls. But in a place as confined and bleak as the area within the Wall, it was unlikely anyone would have energy to care much about the state of their surroundings. Humanity's space had been devoured by monsters beyond the Wall, and for many in despair, survival, even for just another day, was all that mattered.

"So, Officer, could you tell me the details of the incident here?" as...

Chapter 167: Buying Sweets for a Lover?

"Of course. But, how did you know my last name?" Kotomi asked curiously.

While she knew the names of Sakura Adachi and Hougetsu Shimamura, she hadn't told them hers.

"Oh, when you were here at lunch with your senpai, she kept calling you 'Izumi-chan.' I overheard it then," Hazuki explained with a smile. "To be honest, we remembered you right away because of your striking hair color."

"I see. I'm Izumi Kotomi . Nice to officially introduce myself."

"Got it, Izumi Kotomi...

Chapter 166: Kotomi and Utaha-senpai’s First Agreement

"Hello, I'd like to charge my phone," Kotomi said, handing her phone and a 500-yen coin to the store attendant. After taking the numbered tag, she turned back to browse the store.

This bookstore spanned three floors, and after checking the categories on each level, she took the elevator up to the third floor, where they kept manga and light novels.

"Didn't expect such a large bookstore in Chiba City," Kotomi murmured as she walked through rows of shelves. Since she hadn't picked o...

Chapter 186: Akane Kosaka

Utako Kasumi-sensei's book signing event proceeded as scheduled, and the Fujikawa Fantastic Bookstore was now filled with hundreds of readers, packing the store with a long line of fans waiting for their turn. Some had come with plans to attend from the start, while others had rushed over after seeing Eriri's Twitter post.

When Utaha, following Sonoko Machida, emerged from the back room, surprised murmurs spread through the front rows of fans. Though Fujikawa Fantastic Bunko had adverti...

Chapter 185: Book Signing Event

In the time that followed, everyone present offered the birthday gifts they had prepared for Sakura. Some were strange items obtained through the lottery system, while others were simple trinkets. Though none were especially valuable, Sakura loved each of these gifts.

"Alright then," Eriri clapped her hands to get everyone's attention, "now that we've finished the gifts, Sakura, how about you cut the cake?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aoi Kujo came over and handed Sakura a n...

Chapter 471: New Ability - Time Manipulation

When Gilgamesh finally emerged from the rolling clouds of smoke, though he was unhurt, his appearance was notably worse for wear. His once-brilliant golden armor was now dented and covered in pits, stripped of its original luster, with several visible holes and even a few spots leaking blood.

It seemed he hadn't taken any serious injury, but his disheveled state was apparent, as though he had gone from a premium item to a second-hand bargain piece.

"Filthy mongrel!" Gilgamesh spat...

Chapter 470: Shadow Clone Technique

A sharp cry filled the room as a graceful woman rushed forward, embracing Tokiomi Tohsaka's still form—none other than Aoi Tohsaka herself. As she touched him, however, she froze, her expression one of disbelief as her eyes widened.

Tokiomi's body was already cold and rigid.

The signs of life had long since left him, his skin ashen, his eyes wide open and vacant, his body cold as stone.

Rin Tohsaka quickly ran over, touching her father's hand in disbelief. "This has to be ...

Chapter 255: The Dawn of a New Era

The Next Morning, at the Imperial Bedchamber

"What… what's going on?"

Standing at the floor-to-ceiling window of her private dining room, Selene surveyed the imperial capital below, noticing something odd. From this vantage point, she usually overlooked the entire imperial city, but now it felt as if she were standing among the clouds.

"Sebas… truly gave me quite the surprise…" Selene muttered, a twitch at the corner of her mouth. "Does anyone know what happened yester...

Chapter 184: Universal Armament: Black Bunny

It was now noon.

Eriri, dressed in a white dress, held Sakura Tohsaka's small hand, standing at the center of the living room, with all eyes on them. Sakura herself wore a black Lolita princess dress, looking as exquisite as a doll.

Everyone who had a phone had taken it out and was snapping photos of Eriri and Sakura, filling the room with the sound of camera shutters.

"Wow, Sakura, you look just like a princess in a castle," remarked Tamaki Gokou, her eyes sparkling as she ...

Chapter 183: Fourfold Yakuman

Asuna's situation was similar to Haramura's—she had no particularly close friends nor any siblings, so she'd come alone. But she had done something immensely satisfying over the past few days: under cover of night, she had disposed of Sugou Nobuyuki, leaving no trace of him behind.

Asuna also recently tracked down two sisters, Konno Aiko and Konno Yuuki—later known as the "Sleeping Knights" guild's founder and the Absolute Sword, Yuuki. She'd learned that Yuuki had contracted HIV fr...

Chapter 165: Utaha’s Appetite for Satisfaction

"Uh, S-Senpai… wait a moment…" Kotomi's ears turned red, and she fidgeted nervously.

Every time a girl touched her, Kotomi would gradually feel a warmth spread through her, awakening a sensation that was hard to describe. It wasn't exactly uncomfortable; in fact, there was a strange comfort to it. But she didn't dare linger in the feeling too long, sensing that if she indulged too much, she might undergo a change in her personality—one she couldn't quite imagine but felt a bit cur...

Chapter 164: Mai Sakurajima’s Acting

Caught off guard by Utaha's bluntness, Kotomi's face turned beet red; she wanted to disappear into the floor. She'd spent so long trying to phrase her fear in a more graceful way, only to have Utaha see right through her and laugh.

Kotomi looked around the nearly empty theater. At least only Utaha had heard her embarrassing explanation.

"You know, Kotomi-chan, you just killed me! I'm definitely putting that line in a side story," Utaha teased, still laughing.

The tension and...

Chapter 469: Timing

Saber's injuries were severe. Her eyes were closed, seemingly unconscious, her delicate face drained of color and deathly pale. Her body was covered in wounds, her armor having deactivated due to the depletion of mana, leaving her in a tattered underlayer that had been torn in multiple places during her battle with Berserker. Her exposed skin was marred with cuts and bruises, the blood oozing from her injuries staining her wounds red.

More worrying, however, was that Saber's mana had be...

Chapter 468: Saving the Beauty

Under the serene and hazy night sky, the city gradually shed its daytime clamor. Streets that had been crowded were now almost deserted, while vibrant neon lights painted the city into a sleepless wonderland.

Far from the bustling downtown, in the courtyard of a secluded villa, tranquility reigned. Cool moonlight fell like silk, draping everything in a pale, ghostly hue that cast a foreboding stillness over the villa. The only sound was the faint rustling of leaves stirred by the night ...

Chapter 254: True Transformation of Heaven and Earth

The imperial capital basked under the blazing sun.

The fresh weather seemed only to amplify the jubilation among the people. One victory report after another from the counterinsurgency forces sent the entire capital into a frenzy of celebration.

"Report! Another victory! Great General Budo has annihilated the last remaining Southern rebel forces! The Empire is now free of major rebellions and unified once more!"

The news of Budo's imminent return to the capital ignited the c...

Chapter 182: Arrivals on All Sides

As Megumi Kato slowly opened her eyes, she could feel the newfound strength within her, a power that was exponentially stronger than what she had possessed just ten minutes ago. However, with the surge of energy came a loss of control. Without the protective barrier, she might have crushed the bathtub beneath her feet.

"Eriri…" she called out helplessly, realizing that she couldn't yet control the sheer force her body now held.

"Not bad—you're at Level 3, Stage 9 now," Eriri s...

Chapter 181: Just a Little Effort

"School's been in session for almost a month now. How come you haven't registered yet? Do you know what class you're supposed to be in?" Megumi asked, sounding a bit surprised.

"Well... I didn't have enough money for the registration fee," Yuzuru Hanyu admitted sheepishly, scratching her head.

Unlike public schools, private schools in Japan require a substantial tuition fee every year, and Yumenosaki Academy is indeed a private institution.

Before Yuzuru Hanyu's transmigrati...

Chapter 163: Mai Sakurajima

"That's impressive," Izumi Kotomi said with admiration, already forming a guess about who Utaha Kasumigaoka was talking about.

"Would you like to know her name?" Kasumigaoka teased, hinting that a little encouragement might prompt her to reveal this Sobu High School actress's identity.

Ignoring the bait, Kotomi replied directly, "It's probably Mai Sakurajima, right?"

"Uh-huh, nice try, but the answer is— Wait! How did you know?" Kasumigaoka's eyes widened.

"It's easy...

Chapter 162: If Only You Were My Wife

Izumi Aimi's tone was laced with dissatisfaction, and as she finished her words, she reached to unbutton Kotomi's shirt. Startled, Kotomi quickly grabbed her hand.

"Hey, let's just talk—no need to start undressing me!" Kotomi protested in a flustered whisper, her face turning bright red.

With her hand blocked, Aimi pouted in frustration, her expression full of disapproval.

"I just want to check something."

"Check?" Kotomi blinked in confusion.

"Ch...
