“Preposterous. That information is completely useless. There’s no way such an assassin exists.”
“Don’t blame me! That’s just what little information could be gathered!”
“So even with the royal family’s intelligence network, the assassin’s true identity remains elusive…”
Or rather, Toko thought, what competent assassin would leave characteristics to identify them?
The reason they’re elite is because they don’t let their identity slip.
The duke probably didn’t expect to actually learn anything useful.
More importantly, preventing the assassination itself is the critical issue.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 1
The woman wished that no one would come.
She did not want to show her appearance to anyone.
She sat gasping in some unknown back alley.
She could hardly utter a word properly.
If someone approached, she would hurt them.
More than anything, she did not want to see that person.
The one who took her in after she had fled, unable to stay at home.
That’s why, even though she couldn’t meet them.… Read more
I , a high school teacher, was transported volume 1 chapter 4 part 2
RUMBLE RUMBLE CRASH!
“Whoaaa!”
“Sensei!”
Suddenly, the rock I stepped on crumbles. It might have become a bit fragile with age. I desperately grab the edge of the foothold and avoid falling completely, but… I’m submerged up to about my knees in the turbid stream.
“Ugh!”
I desperately try to resist being swept away by the current. Kimijima frantically grabs my arm, trying to pull me up, but she can’t get a solid footing, forcing her into an awkward position.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 2
“There are exceptional spirit masters like you and Gareth, but most spirit masters become significantly weaker when separated from their contracted spirits.”
Hearing these words, the memory of Gareth’ match flashed through Rourke’s mind. Indeed, in that match, Gareth had achieved a one-sided victory by using spirit arts to separate the spirit master from their spirit. If he could create a similar situation, there was a high possibility that he could defeat Ophelia.
However, as if understanding Rourke’s optimistic outlook, Lily pointed out the problem with this plan.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 1 Chapter 9 part 1
Chapter 9: Alphonse Fried
In the first practice room of the Magic Academy, the students of Class 2-A were engaged in mock battles.
On one of the eight mock battle fields prepared in the practice room, two students were fighting on a scale clearly different from the others.
One was Yufia Queensroad, the top-ranked S-class magic student in the academy.
The other was a male student named Alphonse Fried, ranked second in the academy and, like Yufia, one of only three S-class magic students in the academy’s history.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 2
Suddenly, a young girl bursts out from the crowd.
At a festival, elementary school kids must be in high spirits.
I can’t bring myself to blame such a lively girl.
Hinata-chan, who nearly collided with her, gracefully avoids her without a word of complaint, ice cream still in hand.
I can’t help but applaud her elegant movement.
“Oh, as expected of the Winged Guardian Excia.”
“Hehe. This much is nothing—Eek!”… Read more
The Exiled Merchant Volume 1 Chapter 21
[Reminiscence 3] The Adventurers
A group of about thirty people was advancing through the wilderness.
Their appearances varied greatly: some were clad in armor, others wore priestly robes, and some were draped in cloaks. Even among the armored individuals, who made up half the group, there was a wide range from light to heavy armor, giving the overall impression of a lack of uniformity.
This group was the Demon King subjugation team, centered around the adventurer party known as the Golden Fang.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 3
“…That’s all.”
Shizuku’s explanation wasn’t particularly long. Once spoken, it was straightforward and clear. Therefore,
“….”
Ur was speechless.
“…Shizuku.”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t this dangerous?”
“Yes.”
Ur understood Shizuku’s intention. He now understood why she had leaked information to adventurers other than themselves.
He realized how risky Shizuku’s actions had been.
And yet, what was clear to him was—
“We will slay the gem golem.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 3
The duke rubbed his temples agitatedly.
“For her to leave the capital now of all times, with the change of queens just completed but potential rebel elements still lurking, and our war with Uentas ongoing! A core pillar of the nation’s stability, the duke family’s heiress, abandoning her post!”
“Well it’s nice to hear you value me as queen.”
“That idiot kept insisting on following that man, which I repeatedly refused. Yet this is what happens—!”… Read more
The Girl is Unbeatable Volume 1 Chapter 5
V. The girl who can clearly say ‘I love you’ Descends
Let me tell the story of Nanase Nanao.
The time goes back a little. It was just about a week ago.
Due to her parents’ job transfer, she had moved from a rural area to Tokyo.
She was essentially a transfer student.
This girl was rather lost in the school building at dusk.
(I’m lost…)
She had gotten lost and couldn’t find her way.… Read more
