I quickly check my pocket watch. It’s exactly one minute before the escort vehicle is due to pass through here.
This girl still has an frighteningly precise internal clock, I think to myself, amazed.
I lower my gaze to the street below and let it slide towards where it leads.
And there it is– coming.
“Well, shall we go?”
“Yes.”
We simultaneously throw ourselves off the rooftop and soar through the air.

–I focus my vision.… Read more

“That’s right. To get stronger in a short time, you need to do at least this much. I don’t usually buy this potion because it’s not cost-effective, but…”
Trao smiled pleasantly.
“It’s cheap for your sake.”
‘…What’s this? I’m not happy at all. I wish he’d say such words when giving a more thoughtful gift.’
“Oh, don’t worry. This isn’t the only one. I’ve prepared plenty.”
“Plenty?”
‘I felt like I’d been sentenced to death.’… Read more

“Just because, I jokingly suggested that I’d like to enter the Ogre’s Great Forest.
I do have genuine interest, but I expected to be opposed, going into the forest of demons where we never know what might be there.
However,
Yuzuriha-san and Suzuha readily agreed and even offered to come along.”
“If it’s Suzuha’s brother, there should be no problem. Ah, but in case we get surrounded by Ogres, I’ll accompany you and protect your back.” … Read more

Act Two: Rain of Swords
This is a memory from when I had just met Kushina.
“Ibuki-kun, what do you want to do?”
It was a vague question.
However, those deep purple eyes were incredibly pure, looking straight at me.
So I faced her directly.
“I want to join the [Prim-Libra]!”
I spoke of my dream to Kushina, who was sitting on the sofa with her knees together.
“Well…”
“Um, Ibuki-kun.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 4
Most people would be nervous under the gaze of such a large crowd, but Misha spoke into the microphone without a hint of hesitation, her words flowing smoothly.
The students gathered in the cafeteria were captivated by her dignified demeanor and clear voice, hanging on to her every word. Before we knew it, time had flown by, and finally, she paused for a breath and smiled.
“Lastly, everyone, in this academy, I am not a princess of the country, but merely a fellow student.… Read more

The mountain where the god Kusanagi’s shrine was located was called a sacred mountain in Yamato.
It was a mountain of a height Rio and the others had never seen before. Moreover, it was surrounded by vast forests.
They had received a map from the king of Yamato, so there was a path, but since hardly anyone used it, it was little more than an animal trail.
“We have to get through this forest and climb that mountain?”… Read more

Chapter 3: Journey to the Royal Capital
In the same week as the regular exams at the Magic Academy.
Sion was visiting the royal capital on a weekend holiday.
From Ragatia, the western city of the kingdom where the academy is located, it’s about a two-hour ride by magic-powered train to reach the royal capital.
On this day, there was an exhibition of magic-related products for magicians and merchants held once every six months at a venue in the royal capital.… Read more
Thus, the Boy Runs Through the Labyrinth Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 8
“Shall we wait by the entrance for the monsters to come to us?”
Shizuku suggested, pointing with her borrowed, old staff.
“If we can kill ten monsters at the entrance, we can leave quickly.”
“That’s smart.”
Ur agreed, but—
“Just one problem…”
“Is it not a good idea?”
“I’m not an expert on labyrinths, but maybe in Greed—”
He stopped as he noticed something behind her.
From the wall Shizuku had her back to, a grotesque goblin was emerging.… Read more

Good vision equals lifeline, so overdoing it is just right.
“Anyway, that’s why it’s ‘Separation’ and [contact]. But I might need to pay the price of Umbra with Kushina here, so please take care of us.”
“No problem.”
Yuika replied with a skilled lie that could be taken as either “I refuse” or “don’t worry about it.”
Impressed by her skill, I added,
“Well, I doubt it’ll be as intense as today.”
“Really…”
“Thanks for always helping me.”… Read more

“…You really don’t understand a woman’s heart.”
Yuzuriha, shaking her head with a sigh, suddenly looked at me with pity.
“Listen, this is simple. In other words…”
Just as Yuzuriha was about to enlighten me, she stopped mid-sentence.
“…Wait a minute? Could this be an opportunity…?”
“Yuzuriha-san?”
“…Hold on a second. Is this a chance to…?!”…If I do Suzuha-kun a favor here, and bring her back to my side again…then when those Amazoness ruffians try to cause trouble, I’ll have the Suzuha-kun card to play…Not a bad plan…”
“Yuzuriha-san…?” … Read more
