Chapter Six: The Hunting Festival
Day 25 of Training
On a bright, sunny day, the Great Sin City-State of Greed was bustling with activity. The streets were more crowded than usual, the number of stalls had increased, and money was changing hands at a rapid pace.
The reason for all this excitement was clear: today was the day of the Hunting Festival.
The target of the hunt, the Gem Golem, was not a notorious monster.… Read more
“It would be easy if the sister was simply the culprit. Hearing about that would make it easier to write the report on this case later.”
Handling the ‘Unlaws’ incident is his job, but writing the report is part of the job too.
At the Cartesius Balldlum branch, Norman’s sister Sphera Hamish is the director, overseeing administration, liaising with nobles, covering up incidents, and giving overall instructions.
The scientist Jim Adamworth researches the abilities of ‘Unlaws’.… Read more
Their responses gave me pause, but it seemed they approved of the strategy itself.
“Well then—”
“…Master.”
“What is it?”
“Kanade will work hard to gather the intel. So I want a special reward.”
It made sense for Kanade to ask for that.
This mission would vastly exceed a normal maid’s duties by any measure.
Not to mention the city info she already brought yesterday.
“Sure, what would you like?”… Read more
Chapter 6: The Academy Rank Battle
Once again, the arena was filled with the cheers of many students.
“Flame!”
The bird-shaped flame released by the female student spread its large wings and lunged at her opponent.
“Gah! Defend!”
“Ooh ooh!”
Faced with the approaching flame bird, the opposing student hastily commanded his contracted spirit, which took the form of a gorilla, to cover him. The spirit responded instantly, leaping in front of its master. It crossed its arms to block the flame bird with its body, then clenched its fist and swung at the female student who had launched the attack.… Read more
Chapter 8: Kannazuki san and Hakase san ②
For Sayuki, the moon fairy Lisa was her first friend.
Born into an affluent family, she was defined solely by her family’s worth to others. Having someone who could see her for who she was beyond just “Kannazuki Sayuki” was a rarity.
Thanks to Lisa, she was also able to meet Akane Yukitsuki and Asahina Moe.
She considered the two of them to be precious best friends.… Read more
“H-Hurry up! What’s taking you so long!?”
As the man shouts, the boys flinch in surprise and tremble.
The magic is soon completed, and the boys, with tears in their eyes, cast their spells.
“Flame Arrow…!”
“Rock Shot!”
The moment they’re activated, a ball of flame and a rock appear in front of the boys and are launched towards me.
There’s only one of each, but they’re quite fast.… Read more
The abnormality of the ‘Unlaws’ can be applied in various ways and its range of uses expands through training.
However, to do so requires stabilizing the core fundamentals of the abnormality itself.
For example—a name.
By giving it a name and treating it as such, the abnormality stabilizes. The ‘Unlaws’ researchers said so, and it was Norman’s own rule of experience. To redefine oneself as outside of this world.
If you don’t understand it, at least give it a name.… Read more
“Oh, just a bit of shopping.”
“I’m sorry for interrupting…”
“It’s fine. I didn’t find what I was looking for anyway.”
I answer with a smile as Leia bows her head. It’s unlikely that a spirit capable of countering Dreadnought would be sealed in a spirit stone, and even if there was one, it would have already been taken by someone else or be priced way out of my reach.
Come to think of it, Leia’s consideration and politeness have changed drastically compared to the beginning.… Read more
The Monster Parade is a phenomenon that has occurred multiple times in this world’s history. Its exact cause hasn’t been properly explained, with various theories like angering the boss monster of the area or trespassing on a cursed ruin. However, the Monster Parade at this Gallar Blue Temple is said to be unprecedented in scale. I wonder what could have happened.
They say that the Hodgkin Federation is a country formed when several small nations united as a federation to counter invasions from other countries.… Read more
“Hey, we’re done for today. Let’s pack up.”
I tell this to the black-suited dealers, who nod quietly and start moving. Some customers are visibly upset, but neither side wants to get caught. The evacuation proceeds mostly smoothly.
The back door is at the bottom of the stairs. If they could come straight here, we might run into them before escaping, but that’s unlikely to happen.
However, it’s somewhat concerning that a subordinate who has experienced this many times before is panicking so much.… Read more
