Though they had previously guessed that DEM's airship had been shot down by a Spirit, most likely a beautiful silver-haired girl, hearing Kaguya confirm it herself still left them incredibly shocked.
After all, DEM's airships were superior to the Fraxinus in both defensive equipment and weapons systems. In the original story, Fraxinus had fought a DEM airship before, and if it hadn't been for Kyouhei Kannazuki's incredible piloting skills, Fraxinus&n...

Leaving her home, Kaguya couldn't help but sigh. Learning to act up was so much easier than acting decently—it felt as though her once pure and innocent Tohka Yatogami had somehow picked up so much, leaving Kaguya thinking how times had changed, with people growing ever more deceitful.
Of course, a "righteous young women" like Kaguya would never secretly relish something like this.
Now wasn't the time to dwell on it, though; she had business with Kotori Itsuka. Although Kaguya c...

"Your Majesty, this victory now officially belongs to the Yggdmillennia Clan in this Romanian Holy Grail War!"
With a deep breath of relief, Darnic stepped forward and placed a hand over his heart in respect.
"Simply astounding… Is the Holy Grail War already over?"
Berserker Frankenstein's Master, Caules, known as the weakest Magi in the Yggdmillennia Clan, looked in awe at Karna, the Red Lancer, whose unparalleled might had been crushed by Selene in mere rounds of ha...

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada stood motionless, his gaze calm as he looked down at his bloodied chest, eyes drifting to his heart held in Selene's grasp.
"That's right—it was all thanks to the Command Seal," Selene replied, clutching the soft, tender 'flesh' with an unsettling fascination as she gave a slight nod.

Oddly enough, each classmate Kotomi encountered today seemed compelled to ask, "Are you feeling alright, Kotomi?" Even friends like Yui, Yukino, and Mashiro asked. While she was honest with them about her condition, Kotomi offered simpler explanations to those she wasn't close with, casually brushing it off as "just not feeling well."
She certainly wasn't about to let the whole class know she was dealing with her period.
Despite the discomfort, there was one unexpected benefit. Te...

"You can't sleep?" Kazumi was genuinely surprised. Kotomi's sleep habits? Let's put it this way: calling her a "head hits the pillow, out like a light" type doesn't do her justice. Her sleep quality was so good, and she fell asleep so fast, it was as if insomnia didn't exist for her. She practically radiated restful vibes wherever she went—yet here she was, claiming she was having trouble sleeping?!
Seeing Kotomi in need of her assistance over a sleep issue? Now that was something Kaz...

The spectacle orchestrated for Taiyo Oga lasted only about half an hour, with the final outcome leaving Takashi Komuro and Rei Miyamoto as the sole survivors. Eriri hadn't particularly targeted them, as, while she found their personalities unpleasant, it wasn't enough to make her go out of her way to kill them. They managed to escape from the pursuing corpses on their own merits.
Now, they'd left the area and, with some luck, found a working motorcycle by the roadside and were speeding ...

Takashi Komuro and his group took up their weapons and made their way to the convenience store's back door, beginning to clear the obstacles blocking their exit.
At that moment, none of them had the mind to check if there were zombies outside the back door.
In just a short while, they managed to clear the back door's obstacles just before the front entrance gave way. Grabbing their weapons, they threw open the back door and rushed out eagerly.
"Perfect! No zombies here—the...

As soon as Kaguya returned to the ground, she saw Origami, Tohka, and Yoshino rushing over from the distance, heading her way.
"You guys…"
Before Kaguya could say anything, Tohka leapt into her arms. Thankfully, Kaguya was prepared for it, or she'd have been knocked to the ground by the girl's sudden tackle.
"You—you're alright, right?" Tohka asked anxiously, scanning Kaguya up and down as if searching for any hidden injuries.

When Kaguya returned to the ground, she found that Tohka Yatogami, Origami Tobiichi, and Yoshino were nowhere in sight. After searching for some time without finding a trace of them, a frown creased her brow.
Could they have already left?
Yet Kaguya, after a moment's thought, knew that with their personalities, they would never leave without at least seeing her first. Could it be that something happened to them while she was gone? Or perhaps Westcott took advantage of her absence ...

Closing his eyes in silence for a moment, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada felt the red Command Seals on his arm—those binding him in contract to the 'Red' Caster, Shakespeare—dissipate, and slowly exhaled.

Although Amakusa Shirou's authority as the Ruler of the Third Fuyuki Holy Grail War had been rescinded by the Greater Grail once that war ended, and his inherent skill God's Resolution had been nullified...

Purple-red light spread along the spot where the Primus Imperator's iron fist had struck the Golem Royal Crown.

The Primeval Giant, with its body composed of earth, wood, and stone, began to emit a deflating, shattering sound as cracks spiderwebbed across its seemingly indestructible gray-black surface. Sparks of purple-red electricity burst forth in blinding flashes, creating an ominous spectacle.

The store was stocked with enough food and water to last a good while. For Taiyo and the other two Reincarnators, surviving the 30 days required to complete their mission seemed entirely feasible here.
Even without a shower, they were willing to endure thirty days of grime if it meant completing the mission and staying safe.

If Eriri hadn't brought up the topic, Kei Karuizawa would've been content to stick to the plan: returning to her original world, masking her true nature, and relying on the popular kids in class to avoid bullying.
But Eriri's words ignited a burning desire for power within Kei.
Yes, with power, who would dare to bully her again?
With power, she could make those who bullied her pay the price they deserved!

If AST's operatives could at least put up some resistance, the ordinary crew members aboard the airship had no means of fighting back whatsoever. Lacking manifest devices, they were no more capable than helpless chickens, and killing them would be as effortless as squashing ants.

The tactical nuclear blast was immensely powerful. Although it was only a tactical nuke with a relatively low yield to limit the affected area and collateral damage, the explosion still wreaked havoc on the city. Most of the neighborhood had been leveled, with remnants of collapsed buildings smoking, while formerly towering skyscrapers were reduced to skeletal remains.
Thankfully, civilians had been notified in advance, allowing them to evacuate in time. Without that preparation, the ca...

Darnic's face was pale as he recounted his ordeal to his clan.
The Masters of the Yggdmillennia family all wore expressions of utter astonishment.
But with the "Primeval Giant," the Golem Royal Crown, drawing ever closer, the castle's furniture toppled from the relentless shaking, and the chandelier overhead swung wildly.
Amid the cacophony, they quickly came to their senses.

The forces Kaguya wielded—both the ancient chakra and the current dark energy—held the very essence of the planet, containing unimaginable power. Even when only tapping a fraction of it, this energy far outmatched anything humans could muster.
