this attack is not okay.
People almost died, and Hinata even got injured.
I don’t know if I’m related to this attack.
But I can’t think of it as completely unrelated to me either.
After all, in the original story—in the world where I didn’t exist—this incident never happened.
When I chose this path, I never imagined that just one person’s actions changing could alter the story this much.
In hindsight, how shallow of me.… Read more
The Exiled Merchant Volume 1 Chapter 19
[Reminiscence 1] Blue Ring
Trao was born into a merchant family.
As the second son, he wasn’t the heir, but the family ran a large business and had plenty of money.
However, due to his merchant-like father’s policy, the family lived frugally, leading an almost poor lifestyle. Still, Trao didn’t mind this and accepted it as natural.
From a young age, Trao was a sharp child. He started imitating business practices early on and could earn his own pocket money.… Read more
I , a high school teacher, was transported volume 1 chapter 3 part 3
──Sky Temple
As Kusunoki Shigeto teleported away, silence fell. Domoto Kyohei turned to face Kohinata Akira and knelt down.
“You won’t be needing this anymore, right?”
Without changing his expression, Domoto drew the sword from Kohinata’s waist. He partially unsheathed it to check its condition, then satisfied, placed it at his own waist.
“Ky-Kyohei?”
Ignoring Kohinata’s voice, Domoto turned to the High Priest.
“What will happen to Akira? Will he face some kind of punishment?”… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 1 Chapter 5 part 1
Chapter 5: I and Virtue
The Sun God sets.
At night, spirits take over as stars, illuminating the darkness with their faint light.
Their glow is weak, unable to pierce the terrifying night. People light magic stones taken from monsters to dispel the darkness, praying for the Sun God to rest and rise again as they fall asleep.
“Hey! Run faster! Get that magic power settled in your body!”
Even in the night, the training ground echoed with shouts.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 5
Confused by our classmate’s unexpected fighting style, I opened my mouth in agreement with the two people next to me. Not using a spirit in battle went against the usual conventions and felt extremely strange. Not that I’m in a position to talk, though.
In fact, fighting without a spirit should put her at a significant disadvantage, but she was overwhelming her opponent with her exceptional physical abilities.
I couldn’t help but notice her fighting style resembled mine, even though she likely didn’t intend it.… Read more
After My Sister Enrolling Volume 2 Chapter 1 part 1
Chapter 1: Reclaim the frontier Margrave’s Territory
1
I became a margrave without really understanding what was going on,
and the very next day, I was summoned by Lady Toko and headed to the royal palace.
In the queen’s office, Lady Toko was seated next to Lady Yuzuriha and my sister Suzuha.
Apparently, the three of them had a girls’ night out the previous evening.
To privately monopolize the queen and a duke’s daughter on the very day of the new queen’s coronation ceremony – as an older brother, I felt quite proud of myself.… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 1 Chapter 7 part 5
“Limit Break Acceleration” was a powerful spell, but it consumed a huge amount of magic power. With Shion’s limited reserves, he could only maintain it for at most a few seconds.
Moreover, Shion had yet to fully master controlling “Limit Break Acceleration,” and while using it, his body suffered from the strain, preventing him from moving properly.
If he could fully control “Limit Break Acceleration,” he’d be able to move freely at near-supersonic speeds, but that was far beyond Shion’s current abilities.… Read more
My Oshi’s Enemy Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 2
Anxiety alone occupied Rui Utsurugi’s heart.
She wanted to rush to Hinata’s aid on the ground immediately.
But abandoning the people would sadden Hinata.
Rui was dedicating herself to preventing casualties for that reason alone.
—Behind her, in her blind spot.
Hidden by a flashy vortex of flames, a single knife was approaching Rui.
Only when it reached a fatal distance,
“——”
Slowly.
In a world moving in slow motion.… Read more

IV / Don’t Get Too Close to Danger
The next day during lunch break.
Having endured the dull classes, the students rose from their seats to fully enjoy a moment of freedom.
Izumi was no exception.
At this school, students either brought a lunchbox or bought food from the cafeteria.
Izumi was in the lunchbox group…or rather, the group whose neighbor always provided one for him. As a high school student working part-time to support himself, being able to save on lunch expenses was honestly appreciated.… Read more

Chapter 18: Family
“Mom! Is it true that Dad used to be an adventurer and defeated the Demon King?”
Her son was looking at her with sparkling eyes.
(Ah, so he’s finally learned about that…)
Rio couldn’t help but hold her head in her hands.
Her son, Rei, seemed to take after his father, being a bright child. He was good at sports and had a lovely face. He was a child without any flaws.… Read more
