Before Aimi could overhear anything, Kotomi quickly ended the topic of "taking the wife's surname" and returned to her room. Sitting down at her desk, she opened her computer and continued working on the third chapter of Chainsaw Man.
Chapter 3 was progressing smoothly, possibly due to the excitement of creating a new series.
Whether drawing or writing, starting a new project always brought an exhilarating rush. Ideas seemed to flow effortlessly, and motivation surged, ma...

Megumi Kato wasn't surprised by her mother's questions. In fact, before asking for the aquarium tickets, she had already mentally prepared herself for the barrage of questions.
Her mom was always strict when it came to these things. While she didn't go as far as to interfere with Megumi's friendships, it was clear that her mom would much prefer that Megumi spend her weekends at home, studying.
Perhaps that was her mom's idea of a model child.
Her mom always tried to plan eve...

"This is the Oregairu world? It doesn't seem all that different from the Saekano world," Eriri remarked.
After exiting the world passage, it didn't take long for Eriri to figure out the nature of this world.
Unlike Akino Yukinoshita, who was filled with worry, Eriri came to this world with a mindset of exploration and fun. Even though she was well aware before setting out that there might be an Level 8 powerhouse or an Advanced High-Level system lurking...

After some time, Arifureta and the others left the Akame ga Kill world. For them, this mission felt more like a free vacation to another world, and they even returned with over ten million points as a reward.
If the other chat group members found out, they would definitely be filled with envy.
As for Leone and Sheele, Eriri entrusted them to the care of Mine, Akame, and Kurome. She also implanted an energy seed in both Leone and Sheele, just like the ones she had pre...

On a soft, down-filled bed, a beautiful girl lay quietly, sleeping soundly. Her purple hair, smooth like silk, cascaded over her shoulders. Her features were delicate, her skin smooth and radiant, radiating an alluring charm.
Bright sunlight streamed through the spotless glass window, casting gentle rays upon the girl's exquisite face, making her seem as if she glowed with a soft luminescence.
Seemingly disturbed by the light, the girl's long eyelashes quivered slightly before she...

"You noticed me? Quite impressive," a silver-haired girl stepped out from the shadows, smiling faintly. It was none other than Kaguya.
"Who are you?" The purple-haired girl tightened her grip on her giant sword, pointing it at Kaguya. Her beautiful violet eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke softly, "So, you're here to kill me too, aren't you?"
"Kill you?" Kaguya chuckled and said, "Why would I want to kill you?"
If Kaguya's guess was right, the purple-haired girl before he...

Crack, crack, crack!
Web-like cracks spread out in all directions as the tall, graceful figure waved her hand, stirring up a powerful gust of wind that instantly swept away all the surrounding dust and debris.
Whether it was the corrosive mist created by Black Assassin Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm, or the dust and sand kicked up by the immense force of the impact, everything was forcibly cleared within a ten-meter radius.
Seeing this, Ruler Jeanne couldn't help ...

Normally, any proper magus Master, who has undergone systematic training, would avoid provoking the Ruler, the referee of the Holy Grail War. After all, the Ruler's authority over the Servants is vast.
For instance, the Ruler has the power to issue compulsory Command Seals to every participating Servant. This alone is enough to deter most Servants. The Ruler can bypass the Master and directly command any Servant to self-destruct. If the Master catches on, they have no choice but to use ...

Yui and Yukino's words left Kotomi Izumi completely bewildered.
I'm on my period? Why didn't she feel anything down there? Even though she hadn't had her period since her reincarnation, she figured that when it did come, she'd notice something off, right?
But right now, everything felt perfectly calm.
"On my period? No, I'm fine. Today isn't even supposed to be my time of the month," Kotomi said, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"If I said yes, what would you do?" Eriri didn't directly deny it but instead tested the waters.
"We could cooperate."
The Reincarnator team leader's eyes showed strong hope. By now, he had realized that Eriri was the representative of her group.
He had no courage to provoke her. Just from the defensive ability Eriri had casually placed on Leone and Sheele, it was clear how terrifying her true strength was.
He had long since abandoned the idea of earning points from th...

Even though the Reincarnators were confident that Leone and Sheele's attacks wouldn't harm them, they weren't foolish enough to block the strikes with their bodies. The principle of "better safe than sorry" was something they had learned from their experiences as Reincarnators. In the past, members of their team had died at the hands of careless actions during their missions in various worlds.
So, while Leone and Sheele's movements were faster than ordinary people, the Reincarnators eas...

As the sun set, the evening gradually enveloped the land, and the streets of Sighișoara grew quiet.
This small town, with a population of less than twenty thousand, was primarily supported by tourism, with its appeal being its medieval-style architecture. However, recent murders had spread fear among the local residents, and even more so among tourists.
With a serial killer on the loose, and following the destruction of the hilltop church last night, the number of visitors to Sig...

Sighișoara.
This was the small town where Shirou Tokisada Amakusa's previous base, the hilltop church, was located. It was adjacent to Trifas, the town under the control of the Yggdmillennia clan.
Since this area was considered the stronghold of the Red faction, a joint occupation of the Mage's Association and the Holy Church, the number of mages in this small town was quite substantial.
In addition to dispatching six Masters, the Clock Tower of the London Mage's Associatio...

A streak of light shot upward like a rainbow, speeding toward the silver-haired girl in the air. At that moment, the silver-haired girl had her back turned, fiddling with her weapon, seemingly unaware of the impending danger. Due to injecting too much magical energy earlier, while her Territory had initially demonstrated an impressive defense and range, it had caused an overload in the Realizer unit, leading to the automatic shutdown of her Territory.
If she were hit now, the consequenc...

The shocking scene left all the Reincarnators stunned. Even the Reincarnator leader, who had been sitting confidently on the throne, stood up in shock, staring at Leone.
The commander of the Imperial Guard, Ogre, was also horrified. He was immensely relieved that the orders had been to capture Leone alive. If he had tried to kill her, his fate would have been no better than the bald Reincarnator's.
Meanwhile, Honest, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, wore a stran...

In a remote corner of the Imperial Capital, there was a slum known as "Slam," a place that was a stark contrast to the rest of the capital—a hell compared to the heaven elsewhere. Crime was rampant in this slum, and for the orphaned children living there, survival often meant resorting to theft, scams, and any trick they could use to get money.
Among them was a young girl named Leone, about eleven or twelve years old. Over the years, her physical strength had far surpassed her peers, ...

Homunculi are human creations—there is no doubt about this. Whether it's clones, AI, or intelligent robots, as long as their creators don't experiment recklessly with self-learning or unpredictable evolutions, they should be controllable in theory.
If the creator sets up a "read-only" mode in the fundamental framework, meaning the creation can only receive instructions but not modify or store them, it will usually remain a tool without consciousness.
Of course, all this assumes ...
