Knocker took another puff of his pipe.
“I was discarded by [Cartesius] in Balldlum.”
Sullen smoke puffed out. There was no emotion in his words.
Just stating the facts tersely, as if his heart had already been rubbed raw.
If Norman didn’t recognize his face, it meant he had been discarded over a year and a half ago.
“They tried to kill me, but I survived. That’s why I’m carrying out these activities.”
“For what?”
“Unlaws human rights movement.”… Read more

170: Sexy
What is Hakase like from my perspective?
While in this thread he acts the fool, he’s actually quite diligent and good-naturedly patient, as well as a kind person.
He’s a top researcher, but not the type to say “you don’t even know this much, you idiot…” When someone doesn’t understand, he’ll say “My apologies, let me explain in simpler terms” and make an effort to be understandable.
He views lack of comprehension not as the other person’s ignorance, but as his own shortcoming in explanation.… Read more

Chapter 8: Critical Confidentiality.
“Don’t be ridiculous. All knowledge of the human body and each magical technique are important secrets that Maple Leaf has accumulated. It’s not so simple to…”
As he was speaking, Cameron’s face suddenly changed.
“…I see. So that’s what it is.”
Cameron seemed to have realized something.
“What is it?”
Cameron raised his eyebrows and looked straight at me.
“You were secretly using a magical tool, weren’t you?… Read more

Chapter 3: The Strength of a Celestial rank
I woke up to the sound of knocking at my door. Morning light was already streaming through the window.
“Hmm… Is it time to get up already?” It seemed I had overslept a bit, likely due to the rare indulgence in alcohol the night before. Flustered, I opened the door to find a familiar face peeking in. It was a handsome, tanned man with a somewhat Arabian vibe.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 3 part 2
I, too, had the worst-case scenario flash through my mind, but Misha reassured us with a confident tone.
“But we can’t afford to be careless. Now that we know their goal is Aži Dahāka’s seal, we need to confirm as soon as possible whether the seal is still functioning properly.”
“And that’s why you need me?”
“Of course, we’re going too. The Kingdom Spirit Corps has requested it. And if the seal is starting to weaken, we’ll need to reinforce it.”… Read more
Corpse King Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 4
“I asked who you are. Never heard of any ‘Lucas.’”
The tension shattered under the weight of his flat tone.
Lucas burst into laughter, pressing his foot down on the young man’s face.
Grinding his heel, he spoke mockingly.
“You mean to tell me you’ve never heard of Helheim in this day and age?! The most ruthless, cruel organization pulling the strings of the world! And I’m one of its executives!… Read more

— The sudden attack of Schwarzwaldius, the Black Dragon of Destruction.
It brought catastrophic damage to part of the Crawford Magic Academy grounds, especially the school cafeteria.

…One week later.
Thanks to the efforts of skilled architects using magic to reconstruct buildings, and transport workers who swiftly delivered materials and necessary equipment, the building was successfully restored.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 3
Glancing around, I noticed multiple passages branching out from the walls in all directions.
“Are those connected to ground-level entrances?”
“Some are. Others lead deeper underground. But一we’re going this way.”
Kushina strode straight toward the central bar.
Trailing behind her, I noticed the surrounding members starting to eye us as we approached.
“……! It’s Lady Setsuna!”
“Wait, Lady Setsuna is here too…?”
Grunt after grunt straightened their posture.… Read more
Become the Mastermind Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 3
“—Ornament is unlikely to make a move.”
While explaining his prediction of Ornament’s movements, Kurtz walked alongside Lucia.
Listening to his explanation, Lucia nodded in understanding.
“Well yeah… Even if they say misfortunes keep piling up, if their investigation turned up nothing, they’d write it off as coincidence. And in their position as a ducal house, they’d get arrogant too, wouldn’t they?”
“Less arrogance and more an unwillingness to act rashly and draw the other ducal houses’ attention.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 3
“You’re not used to traveling, I heard that beforehand, but you need to report any injuries. That’s basic. Glenn would kill you if he found out.”
“I’m sorry.”
After efficiently treating her, Ur scolded Shizuku thoroughly. Sitting formally, Shizuku listened earnestly, though it was unclear how much she truly understood.
Managing her was difficult because she had an unusual sensibility—she placed no value on herself.
Though she acted reasonably understanding in conversation, she had a bad habit of prioritizing things other than herself at critical moments.… Read more
