Mount Enzou, Ryuudou Temple.
The sliding door was shut tight. Under the dim yellow glow of the lights, the room was filled with the heavy scent of blood, iodine, alcohol, and medicinal herbs. Sterile gauze and bandages were scattered across the low table.
After realigning her Master's broken bones, applying healing-type magecraft, and carefully dressing his wounds, Caster Medea finally dared to gently lay the man down on the tatami mat, now neatly spread with bedding. She softly p...

Eriri smiled, not minding at all, since every time she patted Ruri's head she received the same reaction.
Unlike the Saekano world, the Oreimo world was currently at the end of December, with the New Year just a few days away. Eriri thought she might even get the chance to spend New Year's together with Ruri this time.
Ruri had officially entered her winter break a couple of days ago.
For someone who had already reached Level 7, mere changes in temperature posed no threat to...

Setsuna spent two weeks studying the book.
Time manipulation, from basic to complex, could be broken down into three levels:
Controlling his own time through acceleration or deceleration,
Manipulating the time of others or the surrounding space,
And finally, the most advanced—large-scale time reversal.
He decided to begin with the basics: self-time acceleration and deceleration.
By using magic or spiritual power to influence his own time, the principle wa...

Generally speaking, looking out for fellow pantheon members is considered an unspoken rule of the Teyvat pantheon.
Although there are many factions within the Teyvat pantheon, and there are competitive relationships among them, all the gods tacitly agree on the concept that the pantheon is one big family.
Even though the pantheon now has many members, this belief remains unchanged among them all.
As a result, the atmosphere within the pantheon is very relaxed. Communication ...

"Well then, we'll take our leave. Oh right, Mr. Elias—if you have time, please spend a little more of it with our dear Raven. That girl's been in a bad mood lately, something about a certain partner who hasn't contacted her for over two months."
Grey Serpent spoke with a teasing tone.
Though he knew their paths were different, he genuinely hoped to maintain a friendly relationship with Elias.

Elias and Bronya didn't return to the House of the Hearth until very late. Joy and emotion filled every moment of their day, and both were certain they had just lived a perfect one.
However, that perfection was shattered the very second they stepped through the door.
Upon seeing a certain uninvited guest sitting in their home, Elias' mood took a nosedive—sunshine turned to storm clouds in an instant.
Bronya, being the closest, honestly thought Elias was about to kill someo...

"Bronya? Are you okay? Why do you look like your soul just left your body?"
Elias looked at the suddenly dispirited Bronya with concern. Her empty, hopeless gaze reminded him of the Bronya from her days as a child soldier.
"...Papa Elias, do you think Bronya still has a chance to grow?"
Bronya placed a hand over her chest, visibly dejected.
Though she was technically still in her growth period, the complete lack of development at her age deeply troubled her.

She couldn't feel a single trace of lifespan.

Before becoming a world history and social studies teacher at Fuyuki City's private Homurahara Academy, Kuzuki Souichirou—this cold and gloomy man—was once a member of an assassination organization. He had killed before.
Though now severed from that past, he still excelled at the assassination art known as "Serpent," which carved special trajectories to punish his enemies.

On the other side, in the grand council hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Molt sat expressionless on the throne on the high platform.
Princess Pina stood below, reporting the events that had recently transpired.
"I see... So Zorzal is dead..." Molt said flatly, his tone devoid of emotion, as though the one who died wasn't his own son but just an unrelated commoner.
However, the dim look in his eyes betrayed the fact that he wasn't as indifferent as he appeared.

Bronya was utterly shocked. The normally sweet, shy, angelic Seele had actually snuck into Papa Elias' room last night?
She nearly turned to stone.
But quickly, she realized—it must have been Dark Seele. Only that insane girl with the polar opposite personality would do something so bold.

As Caster's established base, the area surrounding Ryuudou Temple was filled with magical barriers. Anyone who entered would immediately notice the air itself becoming heavier.

If Ikaros didn't usually act so airheaded, everyone might've thought she was launching a full-on confession at Setsuna.
But Setsuna had no way to explain it to her right now.
The question she asked reminded him, vaguely, of a certain Auto Memory Doll.
In the original story, Ikaros only came to understand those words when she burned herself out and soared into the sky.
That kind of tragic ending definitely wasn't going to happen here. Setsuna simply gave Ikaros a hug.
