Become the Mastermind Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 7

“…So the actual Philosopher’s Stone exists?”
 
“Yes. At the very least, it’s considered close to a substance meeting their definition.”
 
Minerals imbued with the land’s magic power are called ‘magic ores’ and gain properties like absorbing, releasing, and storing magic power.
 
Devices incorporating these magic ores as power sources are called ‘magic tools,’ allowing simplified magic use despite being expensive, with their magic power replenishable.
 
Moreover, the entire Empire is constantly bathed in abundant magic power from the World Tree.… Read more

C-level magic student Volume 2  Prologue

Prologue
 

—Three Years Ago
 
Ichinose Shion was surrounded by several upperclassmen.
 
The location was behind the school building of Terrence Magic Academy, where Shion was enrolled at the time. In that deserted spot with no passersby, the upperclassmen glared sharply at him.
 
“The hell’s your problem? You protecting this guy?”
 
“Listen up, this ain’t violence. It’s justice. His bastard of a father, the vice mayor, embezzled our taxes—”
 
“So it’s only fair his son pays the price too, right?”… Read more

How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 4

As I watched puzzled, the girl quietly removed her hands, let out a small sigh, and murmured.
 
“……Guess I’m not scared after all, huh… me……”
 
Seems like she wants to be scared. Huh. I see. …What kind of feeling is that, anyway?
 
What would it take for someone to end up thinking like that? The more I dwell on it, the more curiously it pulls me in.
 
Shoulders slumping (?) at her own lack of intimidation, Shiranui talks to her reflection in the mirror.… Read more

Flashback 一 About a year and a half earlier.
 
Utsurugi Rui was a Winged Guardians Excia candidate, attending the middle division of the training school.

And above all一what made her truly special was her beauty.
 
As a symbol of peace一as an idol.… Read more

I Tell You Monster. Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 1

“So, you understand now, Norman? Let me reiterate your criminal charges. Disturbing public order. Property damage. And the suspicion of going against the Cartesius Order. Do you see why you ended up in this situation?”
 
“No, not at all. Especially that last one is completely unfounded.”
 
“Is that so? Weren’t your regular trips to the capital part of the preparation for that?”
 
“You know I was just going there as my sister’s proxy to report to headquarters.”… Read more

Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 4

 
“You’re a knight, right? Stay here and protect this place.”
 
This place might not be safe either. Whispering so the evacuees wouldn’t hear, Ur furrowed his brow with a complicated expression.
 
“I’m technically a bronze-ranked adventurer. Don’t worry about me.”
 
Considering he’d only been an adventurer for a month, “technically” was a stretch, but he kept that to himself.
 
“Alright. But if it gets too dangerous, run. No one will blame you.”… Read more

A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 2 chapter 8 part 4

“Now then, I’d like you to redraw the magic circle.”
 
When Balbrea said this, I checked the material of the rooftop floor. Conveniently, a large seamless rock was placed. The magic circle was drawn on top of it.
 
“It’s a large rock floor. It’s pitch black, but was it carved out?”
 
When I asked, Balbrea slightly lowered her chin.
 
“It’s a rock called black eye stone. When conducting magic circle experiments, we need to redraw many times.… Read more

Scientist for an Evil Organization Volume 1 Chapter 18 part 2

790: Hakase
 
I’m delighted that there are many who understand.
 
Sexy san says, “Ideally, I would be working while Big Bro-san is a househusband. Ah, it would be even better if Hakase starts a business and I become her secretary. I’m sure Hakase’s company would definitely be a white company (good working environment).”
 
A-ko: “I’m fine with being a working wife or a housewife. But I do want to spend time with my husband.”… Read more

How I Came to Call You “Natsuki” Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 3

“School layout…? What are you talking about?”
 
“The northeast corner of the school. Near the second club building area – do you know it?”
 
Caught off guard by the sudden location description, I tilted my head as I answered.
 
“…If you’re saying it’s pretty far…”
 
“That’s understanding enough. Actually, there’s an old lodge there, and I’d like to ask you to run an errand there. Here’s the key. Please return it here when you’re done.”… Read more

Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 3 part 5

 
“Don’t worry about it. Keep your eyes on him instead.”
 
As Leia looks at her shoulder with a shocked expression, Rourke reassures her that it’s fine and directs her gaze toward Haunted.
 
“Oh my, you… I see. That person must’ve been too much of a hassle and let you go.”
 
Haunted slowly walks closer, his eyes shifting toward Leia.
 
“I actually wanted to face him one-on-one… but oh well.”
 
“…!”
 
Leia shivers slightly as Haunted glances at her, and he smiles at her reaction.… Read more
