“Is that the proprietress of the Black Tail I see before me?” Phelms recognized Fran and approached us. His saunter added to the refinement of his age. I imagined he must have a lot of younger fans. | 12.55 | |
Unable to continue, Mikhail gaped at Max. This man… was the crown prince? | 5.125 | |
Shinobu’s haughty mood up above my head shifted slightly─but only slightly, as if to say: My, not at all the date I intended. Well, ’tis no big deal. | 9.7 | |

“Well, either way, I’m glad you can send out an SOS when you need to now. What kind of range do you have?” | 6.45 | |
“Wha?” Naoya blurted out. The comment had legitimately caught him off guard. | 4.95 | |
“Let’s go see Sadie and get verbally abused! We can buy the pamphlet and lick her picture, groveling on the ground!” Just like your brother did! Yuzu-san, come now, take my hand! | 11.2 | |
I ran through the realistic options in my mind, but nothing jumped out at me. Still, I started with what I knew so far. | 7.825 | |
I didn’t know any more about Sylvester’s escape tricks than she did; I simply waited in place, as instructed, and gazed outside. We were in a guest room with a large balcony that was currently bathed in sunlight. | 13.3 | |
“My, the flavor in these vegetables is very rich. It’s delicious. And these steamed foods, too... The vegetable rice goes along with it perfectly.” | 9.4 | |
“You’re not alone anymore... You have us... to rely on now...” | 3.875 | |
I brought my head down, again, and again, and again. | 3.35 | |
The duty to instruct recruits who aren’t used to the battlefield yet… It’s a bit late, but someone must have noticed the rate at which new troops fall. That’s all well and good, but how did they conclude that we should be the instructors? | 14.175 | |
There were some movements out there that were against having the Prime Minister be a 2D character, but personally I thought she was adorable, and I loved her a lot. | 9.45 | |
Yaana still seems intrigued by our exchange, but she can’t resist taking a bite of the cake. | 5.825 | |
“Then keep it on for as long as you wish. I’m not petty enough to dictate how others use their gifts.” | 6.075 | |
“They’re fast!” The seven mercenaries tried to retreat immediately, but Gouki and Kayoko split up and cornered the scattering men, preventing their escape. | 9.7 | |

“My apologies, but I did not come today to make merry or soothe your boredom! I have someone I want you to see, Ebon Candle!” | 7.25 | |
He sounded like he was on the brink of tears. Not that I cared, but the sight of an old man crying was one that I’d prefer to avoid. | 8.3 | |
Kouta, Rei, and Rosa Dandy, who was dating Rei, all sat in a row. It seemed like Rei didn’t want to stand out in class, so Kouta and Rosa were urging him to move with hushed voices. However, he kept his head down to hide himself. | 14.8 | |
“Yeah... Um, I would be glad if you... thought about it...” Although that was not how Queen really felt, this was all he could muster the courage to say at this point. | 9.325 | |
His sister, the demon girl the city had welcomed, was sound asleep, using Sapphee’s body as a pillow. | 6.775 | |
Hahya grew more and more bewildered, until suddenly the answer appeared before him. Akira stepped out from inside Alpha. | 8.1 | |
…Perhaps it would take a lot more practice before he’d be able to just accept gratitude from his mother in earnest. | 6.725 | |
I looked around but I could only see my nine fiancees. Ende, Melle, Ney, and Lycee weren’t in the area. | 6.65 | |
“Is now the time to suggest something so complacent? We should take a bold measure. There might be problems later, but we should prioritize resolving the situation at hand immediately, no?” | 11.175 | |
The bike was big enough that it had only barely fit on the boat, but we’d needed it to execute the maneuver smoothly. This island was SPES’s den; we couldn’t afford to take our time here. | 11.625 | |
Corinna had set up a multitiered rack of wood. Five unglazed clay pots sat on it, already full of soil, but there were more pots that nearby gardeners were filling as well. | 11.05 | |
“Th-That’s kinda surprising. Were you really that annoyed by what Yun Sudra was doing?” | 5.775 | |
“Oh my, if it isn’t Krena! Are you here to play with Allen again today?” Theresia asked, smiling warmly at the sight of the two children covered in dirt from head to toe. | 9.9 | |

“Were you thinking about something?” Itadori asked. | 3.275 | |
“A traveling merchant cannot hope to survive without a guild. So at the very least, I cannot oppose them.” | 6.725 | |

“We were correct to evacuate early, hm?” The prime minister tied his horse to a rocky outcropping and looked down with glee. | 7.575 | |

But she does feel just a tad anxious about not seeing the enemy movements with her own eyes. The benefits to making calls on-site are greater than you might think. | 10.15 | |
“Was it Forte? Spying’s a pretty nasty hobby.” He glanced at Leticia as he muttered the name of the older man, the only person in the Tower—no, probably the only person in the west of the continent—who could use the Network. | 14.575 | |
“Okay, here I go. Come to me, mount!” Albedo used the skill Summon Mount. | 4.675 | |
ABOUT A WEEK had passed since I returned home from my journey. It had been hectic for a while there, but things were finally starting to calm down again. | 8.8 | |
Sheathing his blade, D went over to the baron’s bed, where he heard a woman’s cry of “dearest” creeping across the floor. | 7.25 | |
Tatsumichi quickly glanced over to where Noriko was, in the bushes. Following his gaze, Shuya looked over at Noriko too. Noriko's face and lips froze at Tatsumichi's glance. The cat had already gone off elsewhere. | 13.95 | |
“Do you...” This was the last thing she said. “...not need me anymore...?” | 4.575 | |
Besides, there was, almost certainly, another reason he wanted me to refuse the invitation. And I had a rough sense of what it might be. | 8.875 | |

What the Ameise optical sensor saw rolled down the slope at a maddening speed, billowing fire as it moved. It had a great number of what looked like large, all-too-massive wheels. | 11.225 | |

“That’s what I’m sayin’, string bean!” shouted Yotte, her thick lips curled back in scorn. “After I’ve beaten you down, but before I kill you, I’m gonna stuff that tiny mouth of yours full of dried meat! Now draw your damn weapon!!” | 13.8 | |
Piasky looked down, and Lawrence found himself doing likewise. Holo cocked her head to one side, and while Col did not appear to understand very well, he seemed relieved. | 10.675 | |
Here in this world where the gods have long remained hidden in the mists, humans cannot survive on their own. | 6.425 | |
“It can’t be true! I mean, even right now I’m thinking my own thoughts... I’m me!” Yuko buried her face in Hiroshi’s chest and began sobbing. | 8.825 | |
“I do not mind in the least. May I see what ideas you came up with?” | 4.3 | |
At the time he thought she was so foolish and felt only disappointment. | 4.275 | |
“Yamiru’s mother died right after she was born, too. And it was the same with Diga and Doddo’s moms. Mine is the only one who didn’t die and kept on living. But it’s strange, because she’s not especially strong bodied or anything.” | 14.525 | |
“Don’t look so worried. After all, it’s thanks to a certain someone who reminded me we have matching marks that I realized it wasn’t as bad as I thought.” | 9.2 | |

He pulled himself to his feet, standing up straight. When he faced me—directly this time—not an ounce of his weariness was left. Instead, his eyes shone brightly. | 10.4 | |

Oscar read it in the course of his duties and furrowed his brow. “We’ve gotten an annoying request from Yarda. Internal strife has broken out, and they want the princess to stay here.” | 10.65 | |
Sara nodded. “They all have really strong personalities. It must have been a challenge, getting them to work together…” | 7.15 | |

She looked up. Setting Majic down next to the man, she shouted impatiently, “Claiomh!” She didn’t know if anyone had told her this girl’s name, but for some reason, this one, she remembered. | 11.45 | |

Xion let out a tiny sigh. “You and Axel are always there for me.” | 4.225 | |
I was terrified of the Man-God and scared of Orsted as well. I’d glossed over the details and fed lies to my family, having no better idea of how to explain things to them. Yet Ariel said I was powerful? Don’t make me laugh. | 14.475 | |
“So, these are the ones who planted the Barometz in the flowerbed, then took the fertilizer from the garden to make it grow faster than normal.” | 8.625 | |

“I could’ve put the Marshall II back in the Garage and fixed it up, but it seems I’ll have to give up on that,” I said. After all — I was all out of time. | 9.225 | |
“Y-yeah.” Paul sounded like it had sunk in this time. He returned to the vanguard, muttering as he went. “Seriously? So Elinalise is tied to our family now? I can’t believe this…” | 11.625 | |
“Did you get bored while your broken bones were healing?” | 3.225 | |
The imperial army would be the ones suffering if they stood around waiting outside for the barrier to be taken down. | 7.2 | |
While Kaede was unconscious, their father had rushed to the hospital, and Mai had shown up with a change of clothes for Kaede, and they’d bumped into each other. Since everyone was focused on Kaede’s condition, it had been a very brief interaction. | 14.4 | |
I asked one of the in crowd at work to recommend a hair salon I was so embarrassed . . . | 5.4 | |
“Let me tend to your wounds.” I reached out a hand, ready to cast my magic with or without his approval. | 6.225 | |
There was no way of confirming her hypothesis, but that just made her imagination grow more wildly. Liselotte was lost in her thoughts with a mystified look on her face. | 10.9 | |
Kaoru hesitated a moment before giving it to them straight. “...You are. You’re all still too weak.” | 5.925 | |
“Why are you guys following Krotz?” I took a breath. “The guy took away your human bodies. He worships a Demon Lord and he’s trying to revive a Demon Beast as we speak. He might end up destroying the world for all we know!” | 13.425 | |
I started to turn toward her, but another “Don’t move!” command froze me. I held my breath, wondering what she was talking about, given that the lines weren’t moving. | 9.975 | |
Crack. With a painful sound, the claws fell to the ground along with chunks of flesh, as drops of blood welled from the fingers like tears. | 9.05 | |
“It’s not a necessary step, though. You can do as you see fit, Asuna.” | 4.45 | |
Erina came to a stop after walking past them and turned to face Jansen. She gave a slight nod and then descended the staircase to the tenth floor. | 9.25 | |
And so the 203rd Battalion and the marines, each with their own take on close-quarters combat, clash and refuse to give any ground. The marines have a slightly better position, but the situation is fluid. | 13.65 | |
“That’s true. I’ve heard that lately—over the past few centuries, I mean—the barrier has been gradually weakening.” | 7.15 | |
“Is this the merchant who called after me?” Her voice was beautiful and clear and spoke of a good upbringing. | 6.5 | |
“There’s nothing to do,” she muttered, at which a dozing Lawrence, curled up in the same blanket as she was, woke, yawned, and stretched. | 7.825 |
