The moment Grayfia spoke, Liliana's longsword had already struck Riser. In barely a second, it was as if he had been simultaneously slashed by hundreds of swords; his body was covered in hundreds of deep sword wounds. In this instant, Liliana's formidable swordsmanship was on full display.
Blood poured out of Riser as if it were free-flowing water, quickly soaking his entire body in a red stain. Helpless to move or speak, he could only endure the searing pain silently, his face turning ...

"Cough, cough!"
Nakaya Motoharu lay on the ground, hacking up blood as he gasped for air, his handgun already tossed who-knows-where in the scuffle. Fortunately for him, his thick, bulky frame absorbed much of the impact. Otherwise, Kaguya's single kick might have killed him outright if he were any thinner.
"Minister of Defense, it seems you lack any regard for the value of your life," Kaguya smirked, her tone cold as she watched him struggle. "Those who court death tend to find i...

Every few days, Marcel would overhear someone talking about Furina's supposed lack of power.
"From an outsider's perspective, these comments were odd enough to make a lasting impression on the public. So, when we went to investigate, most people still remembered the comments clearly," Chevreuse explained.
"But due to the time that's passed and the fact that they only saw the speakers briefly, no one could recall the appearance of those spreading these remarks. So for now, we're un...

"Wait."
Felina was just about to leave when Neuvillette called out to her.
"Is there something else?" Felina stopped and turned back.
"Would you like me to assign members of the Marechaussee Phantom's Melusines to help investigate last night's assassination attempt?" Neuvillette asked.
At that, Felina couldn't help but smile.
The Melusines were a unique race native to Fontaine's Erinnys region. Small in stature, covered in fur, with long, rabbit-like ears, they w...

"Megumi, over here!" Kotomi , who had stepped into the train car first, quickly spotted a quiet seat. When she took the train alone, she preferred seats toward the back of the car.
They tended to be more peaceful since most people preferred the middle seats, closer to the doors, for easier boarding and alighting. Missing a stop could mean an enormous hassle for busy commuters, who'd rather not risk being late and having to explain things to their supervisors.
But when she wasn't i...

Without any dreams, Kotomi woke up to find it was already the next morning.
Still half-asleep, she squinted her drowsy eyes open and fought the urge to fall back asleep just long enough to turn off her phone alarm.
"So tired…"
Kotomi mumbled, about to drift off again.
Riiiing!
Her phone rang, jolting her slightly awake from her sleepy daze.
Without even checking who was calling, she groggily pressed the answer button.

Seeing Selene in her ceremonial attire entering the palace corridor, Alyssa cried out in delight, abandoning her bowl as she ran towards her.
Yet as the word escaped her lips, Alyssa instantly regretted it. She thought, Why do I always remember, and then reflexively get it wrong…
But by the time Alyssa's mind caught up with her reflexes, her body had already reached Selene, grabbing her arm and snuggling against her affectionately.

In the world of Black Bullet, within Tokyo's Government Office, Selene stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of what was once the Tokyo governor's office. Gazing lazily at the sunlight outside, her expression was particularly relaxed.
As the first human city to be conquered by the Astartes First Legion in this world, Tokyo's reconstruction had only just begun and was still far from resembling its pre-war state. Yet as the Empire's new center of governance and the First Legion's military...

The following day, Eriri let Rias and the others go to class as usual while she strolled around Kuoh Town with Scarlet and Ophis, with Aoi Kujo and Lilliana close behind.
The group of five walking down the street drew quite a bit of attention, with nearly everyone turning to look. Eriri and her group were unfazed. This sort of attention was something she was used to whenever they went out in the Saekano World, so she no longer minded the passersby's stares.

After Origami returned to her room, Kaguya immediately sat up and lifted the blanket, only to find Tohka Yatogami still clinging closely to her, lightly licking with her small tongue and holding her waist tightly. Sensing Kaguya's gaze, Tohka looked up and smiled mischievously, as if she found this amusing.
Kaguya's face twitched, a vein pulsing on her forehead, and she reached out to give Tohka's head a light flick. It seemed Tohka thought of this as some kind of game.

This was a world in despair—a world where the Gastrea mutants prevailed, and humanity suffered defeat.
Though humans had managed to wipe out Stage V Gastrea, namely Taurus and Virgo of the Zodiac, the victories came at tremendous costs. Humanity had only barely managed to survive amidst waves of Gastrea attacks, losing vast tracts of land.
Before, the humans who huddled within the safety of the monolithic barriers had grimly believed that this situation would continue indefinite...

Megumi Kato looked at Kotomi curiously. Even though Kotomi practically had the words "something on my mind" written on her face, she was still putting on a tough act, insisting that everything was fine. Even if Megumi wanted to believe her, she simply couldn't.
Thinking about it, Megumi couldn't help but chuckle. Kotomi's behavior—clearly having something to ask but pretending she didn't—was so endearingly cute, as though she was wrapped up in all sorts of little thoughts.

When Aimi returned to the table, the sukiyaki pot had just been served. The beef and vegetables simmering in the broth filled the air with a rich aroma, making it instantly mouth-watering.
"Aimi, where were you all this time? Are you feeling okay?" Kotomi asked with concern when she saw Aimi return.
If this had been before, after seeing Kotomi's "couple's photo" with Iroha Isshiki, Aimi probably would have sulked like a child, huffing that she didn't need anyone's concern. That ba...

It turns out, those fanfiction novels from her past life made a lot of assumptions about Great Red.
Who decided that a mighty, dignified dragon god in her true form would automatically turn into a fiery, voluptuous lady when she took human form?
Now renamed "Scarlet" by Eriri, Great Red struggled in Eriri's arms for a moment. When she found she couldn't break free, she finally gave up resisting.

Sending a few mortals without Visions to assassinate the Hydro Archon in her own domain? No rational person would think of such a thing.

From the mastermind's perspective, if the assassinatio...

"The cake and tea are fantastic! This must be your favorite food, right?"
"Thank you for sharing it with me. I'm so glad the first thing I got to eat after coming into this world was something so wonderful!"
"Right?~"
Furina's eyes curved into little crescents; there was nothing more beautiful than when someone you care about loves the things you love.

Fontaine, Palais Mermonia
Dawn broke on a new day.
It was now the 496th year of Furina's role as the Hydro Archon.
According to the storyline, after nearly 500 years of prolonged mental strain combined with the burden of embodying the Hydro Archon with no one to confide in, Furina's mental state should theoretically be at its worst.
Yet here she was, alone in her room and beaming with happiness.
Her relaxed posture spoke volumes: she was genuinely at ease and con...

In the kitchen, nothing particularly entertaining was happening, and Kaguya certainly wasn't up to anything outrageous; she was simply satisfying a minor urge to cook. But what followed was a bit of a headache.
There was a problem of limited room space. Origami Tobiichi and Tohka Yatogami, while not exactly enemies, didn't get along very well. Especially regarding Kaguya, neither was willing to give an inch, so it was essentially impossible to have them share a room.
As for Natsum...
