Lying on the emergency stretcher, vision gradually turned from clear to blurry…
Opening the eyes again, the stabbing pain all over the body caused the body to shift sideways.
Sunlight streaming into the hospital room through the window came into view.
The difficulty in breathing made one want to tear off the oxygen mask, but the piercing pain throughout the body rendered the limbs powerless. Turning the head, the...

"Hmph, you don't believe me? Then I'll let you feel it for yourself."
Eriri gently pressed her palm against Megumi Kato's soft abdomen, channeling the energy from within her into Megumi's body, bit by bit.
As the gentle energy slowly entered her body through her abdomen, Megumi Kato immediately felt entirely relaxed and comfortable, as if she were floating on a cloud.
Megumi distinctly felt a significant boost in her vitality, and the slight fullness she had felt after eatin...

"Hey, hey, hey... Can you two stop showing off your affection in public? Think about us single people!"
After spending half the day together, Kiyo Ishimaki and Azusa Satomi were able to interact with Eriri naturally.
Watching the ambiguous interactions between Eriri and Megumi Kato during this time, Kiyo Ishimaki gradually gave up the unrealistic fantasy she had about Eriri and decided to get along with Eriri and the others as just ordinary friends.

After packing their textbooks into their black tote bags, Kiyo Ishimaki and Azusa Satomi approached Eriri's desk, looking excited as they spoke to her.
"Yep, everything's good to go! Let's head out," Eriri replied energetically, giving a thumbs up and winking.
After inviting Megumi Kato to join them earlier, Eriri had taken a moment to text Aoi Kujo, letting her know that she didn't need to pick her up today.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the students of Class 1-E finished their self-introductions under the guidance of Ms. Hasumi, becoming familiar with each other and gaining a basic understanding of their classmates' interests.
As for who they might get along well with later, that would depend on how they interact over time.
Ms. Hasumi then asked a few of the more robust boys to help bring the new semester's textbooks from the office to the classroom.

After saying goodbye to Aoi Kujo, Eriri ignored the glances directed at her from all around. With a joyful expression on her face, she followed the crowd and stepped into Yumenosaki Academy.
In front of the school building, the bulletin board that usually displayed the admissions list was today filled with the class assignment information for the first-year students.
A large number of new students who had just arrived at the school were already gathered in front of the bullet...

Yumenosaki Private Academy is a high school located in Tokyo that was founded less than ten years ago. Known for its relatively liberal atmosphere, it is quite a popular private school. Today is the day of Yumenosaki Academy's entrance ceremony.

When Tomoya Aki realized that his idol was also interested in otaku culture, he was extremely excited. He believed that by showcasing his deep knowledge of otaku culture, he could get along with her and even make her admire him, thus becoming Eriri's only confidant.
He rushed over to Eriri's desk, intending to "enlighten" her. Seeing that Eriri's gaze remained on her manga, ignoring him entirely, he began enthusiastically talking about manga and game-related otaku topics on his own, try...

The following morning.
The sky was blue and cloudless, with bright sunlight streaming through the yellowing leaves, casting dazzling patches of light on the ground. It was already autumn, and the weather was becoming colder. The undulating forest spread in every direction, with a cool autumn breeze gently rustling the leaves. Unfaded wildflowers swayed in the wind, and birds occasionally chirping in the woods added to the tranquility.
Suddenly, a clamor of footsteps gradually appr...

As Fal was about to fall to the ground, a soft, smooth arm caught her. Looking up, she saw it was the Princess.
Fal hurriedly got off the swing, awkwardly saying, "Princess."
Fal no longer had the innocence and liveliness she once did. Life in the Princess's palace was entirely different from the carefree days in the countryside. Here, a maid was responsible for teaching her various etiquette lessons, as her image reflected on the Princess and the royal family.

A purple-haired girl wearing a white, semi-transparent long dress sat quietly on a luxurious bed covered with velvet. She was beautiful, her demeanor elegant, and her clear eyes were gazing out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmph," Seryu turned her head, snorting coldly without a word.
"But I hear you haven't eaten for several days," Kaguya said with a smile.

"It seems the noise over there has stopped, indicating the battle is probably over," Kaguya said, glancing at the distant forest, then at Sheele, whom she cradled in her arms. "Besides, with these two in tow, it's unlikely we'll be able to fight."
Although Kurome wasn't entirely sure what "soy sauce bottles" referred to, she understood the general idea. Her deli...

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred. Seeing Kaguya, Koro roared, opening its maw lined with sharp fangs. Its mountain-like body charged at Kaguya like a whirlwind, raising its giant claws to smash down on her.
"I don't have the mood or time to play with you today," Kaguya said, her expression calm and composed, without the slightest panic, her tone leisurely as if she were speaking casually.
Just as Kaguya was about to be flattened by Koro, she raised her alabaster arm...

In an open and flat area, several people stood tensely, the atmosphere charged as if battle could erupt at any moment.
On the left stood a pink-haired girl with twin ponytails, her features fresh and exquisite, with bright eyes and white teeth, truly a budding beauty. She wore a pink dress, a pink headband, stockings, and pink shoes, wielding a sniper rifle as tall as herself. This was Mine.
She looked quite disheveled, with a shallow cut on her face that was bleeding, and her dre...

This was indeed Kaguya's Tsukuyomi. Under her powerful eye technique, Zank had no chance to fight back and fell into the illusion without realizing it.
Zank's Imperial Arm, Spectator, had five abilities: Insight, Telescopic Vision, X-Ray Vision, Foresight, and Illusion Vision. These allowed him to see into people's hearts, observe distant scenes, see through obstacles, predict opponents' next moves, and create illusions.
Although it seemed powerful, it was not as impressive as it ...

Kaguya and Kurome moved swiftly through the dense forest, like a flash of light, their feet barely touching the ground as they covered great distances in an instant.
As they drew closer to the battlefield, Kaguya's brow furrowed because the sounds of battle were gradually diminishing, from initially deafening to barely audible.
Could the battle be nearing its end so quickly? Kaguya felt a sense of urgency and quickened her pace.
She wanted to watch a good show.

Following Kaguya's instructions, Ieyasu led a team of elites toward the location where the Minister's troops were clashing with Night Raid members.
However, Kaguya didn't order them to engage but instead chose to watch from the sidelines, letting them fight until both sides were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. Only then would her forces gradually close in and encircle them, taking them down effortlessly.
This was Kaguya's reluctant strategy, given her current lack of capa...

If that was the case, it would indeed be unexpected.

Just as Kaguya had anticipated, the northern tribal army began mobilizing, amassing over a hundred thousand troops at the border. Their banners filled the sky in a massive display of power. Among them, revolutionary forces secretly assisted the northern tribes.

It all began a few months ago with the plague incident. Kaguya's territory was struck by a severe epidemic. Even more alarmingly, the virus could spread and infect humans, turning them into large, dangerous creatures.
Although Kaguya personally eliminated the dangerous creatures and destroyed all infected humans, and even the Imperial Army sent troops to scour areas possibly contaminated with the virus, the...

As an imperial citizen, one's identity must be registered at birth, and an identification card is issued by the relevant department, similar to the ID card in Kaguya's original world. Anyone without identification will be arrested for interrogation to determine if they are foreign spies or members of revolutionary groups and other rebel forces.
The little notebook Kaguya held was an imperial ID card, which was not unusual in itself. However, what surprised Kaguya was the person on it.

The town didn't seem to have suffered much oppression from the Empire. Although it appeared somewhat poor, it was much better than the tragic situation of other villages and towns.
