The banquet hall shimmered with opulence.
A vast, resplendent space, its grand chandeliers cast a dazzling glow over the luxurious décor. Ornate carvings adorned the walls, and every gilded embellishment spoke of wealth and power. The air was thick with prestige.
But at this moment...
Three, two, one… beep!
The referee's whistle pierced the air.
Instantly, every Napoli player surged forward, pressing into Manchester United's half like a blue tidal wave.
From the sidelines, Gao Shen watched the movement unfold, and for some reason, a lively Spanish melody...
"What am I like in the story?"
Fujiwara quickly regained her composure after realizing she hadn't successfully paired any couples. Now, she was far more interested in finding out what kind of person she was in the story.
"Want to tell me more?"
"Yeah!"
Fujiwara's curio...
February 14th—Valentine's Day. A day filled with excitement, confessions, and the scent of chocolate lingering in the air. For many, it was an opportunity to express their feelings, a symbolic beginning of spring.
But for Ren, it was just another ordinary day.
His thick-framed gla...
Aegor and Lord Buckwell reached an understanding and set aside the discussion of Jarman's potential release from the Night's Watch. Before long, they arrived at the section of the camp occupied by the forces of Staghorn Castle, where dozens of tents bearing the sigil of House Buckwell, two stag a...

Time rewinds to just before Gilgamesh unleashed Enuma Elish, when the Heroic Spirits were fleeing the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
While everyone's attention was fixed on the unfolding catastrophe, Darnic made his move.
In the midst of t...
Valentine's Day is an important occasion for both boys and girls.
Of course, at its core, it's a commercial holiday, a way for businesses to sell chocolates and sweets. But if it was just about selling candy, not many people would buy it. The best way to market it was to tie chocolate to r...
"I don't look fat?"
Kogoro gave his daughter a strange look. "You're just growing up. How could that be considered fat?"
From his perspective, Ran wasn't fat at all. Her body had simply matured earlier than most girls her age, similar to what happened with her mother.
"I reme...
"Ah, I knew Dad would end up like this."
After a few days, Ran returned to Mouri Detective Agency, only to be greeted by a sight that went completely beyond her expectations. The entire place was a disaster.
Cigarette butts, empty beer bottles, and various pieces of trash cluttered ...
Girls tend to pay a lot of attention to managing their body shape and weight.
However, in Ren's opinion, Ran's situation wasn't really a problem.
Even though her weight had increased due to higher muscle density, her body had only filled out slightly from its original state.
...
"Eh?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Ran.
Sonoko stared at her for a moment before suddenly lunging from behind.
"Ah!"
The sudden attack startled Ran, making her instinctively step back.
"Sonoko!!"
She glared at her best friend, who was now staring at her hand...
"If it's about studying, I'm fairly confident."
Kaguya rarely spoke about her abilities with such certainty.
She wasn't the type to boast, but when it came to academics, she knew her strengths.
"If I ever need help, I'll trouble you, Shinomiya-san."
"Well, you're alway...
Yoko Okino had barely slept all night.
Her mind kept replaying what had happened.
She never imagined that a man she had only dated for a single month in high school, someone she hadn't seen for over seven years would suddenly try to strangle her to death.
When she finished gi...
Looking through the gray fog, Ren saw a muscular, overweight man pinning a woman with long brown hair to the ground.
The man's hands were wrapped tightly around the woman's neck, his expression twisted with anger, like he had a deep grudge against her.
Ren frowned.
"Tsk, what...
After seeing off all the guests, Ren finally had some free time.
Taking advantage of the moment, he sat down and began writing in his diary.
[Today was the gathering of diary holders.]
[It was a process of going from strangers to acquaintances.]
[Oh, right. There was a...
"Hmm…"
Fujiwara furrowed her brows, lost in thought.
Something about this still didn't sit right with her.
"Kaguya, I feel like there's another reason you transferred schools."
"You say it was to avoid the President because he was a hassle…"
"And I get that....
"Kaguya chan! Kaguya chan!"
Before Kaguya could react, she found herself being hugged and squeezed.
The sensation was incredibly uncomfortable, mainly because the chest pressing against her was surprisingly firm.
At first, it seemed like an overly affectionate display between...
The first gathering had ended smoothly.
A lot had been discussed and clarified, making it a crucial meeting for the future.
As they rode home in the car, Hayasaka turned to glance at Kaguya sitting beside her.

"Miss Kaguya, what do you think?"

There is a fundamental difference between maintaining a state of war and actively starting a war.
Maintaining a war-like relationship means occasional border skirmishes, where injuries are common, but deaths remain rare under normal circumstances.
However.

Why had Orochimaru taken pity on her?
Was this some kind of joke?
After all, just earlier, he had mercilessly beaten her down using Limbo: Border Jail.
Then, after ripping the Tailed Beast from her, he had shown zero hesitation not the actions of someone inclined to show merc...
"A little rough… and a lot more time wasted than I'd like."
Ethan stowed away his weapons, the battle cross returned to his storage space, while the staff clicked back into its designated slot on his belt.
Now, it was time to rely on something else.
The bracers on both wris...
"A verbal apology is of no use to me."
Bardi remained indifferent, his tall frame clad in a pristine white suit that accentuated his clean and refined appearance. Though his demeanor was composed, there was an undeniable strength in his broad shoulders and firm stance. His gaze, though cal...
"Over a hundred thousand wildlings beyond the Wall are desperate to cross before winter sets in. The Night's Watch is too weak to stop them. Change is inevitable, and change often means destruction."
Aegor carefully avoided mentioning the White Walkers. Without solid proof, bringing up suc...
"Watch out!!!"
Just as Gilgamesh let his guard down, Artoria suddenly moved, appearing behind him in a flash.
In that same instant, Goetia materialized and drove a powerful punch toward Gilgamesh's back.
But—Avalon activated.
The attack was completely nullified.
<...
"She's... flying? She's actually flying!!"
Kirishima and the others watched with their mouths hanging open as Kyoka soared straight into the sky.
"Kaminari! Why has Kyoka never flown before?" Kirishima turned to Kaminari in shock.
They had seen Kyoka wearing the "Batgirl" bat...
At this moment, the perspective shifts to the big screen displaying the forest area. Since nothing is happening yet, the students are chatting amongst themselves.

In the Sabaody Archipelago, inside Shakky's Rip-off Bar, Silvers Rayleigh was sprawled lazily on a sofa, looking every bit like a retired old pirate. He held a half-empty jug of liquor in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
"Oh? Now this is interesting," Rayleigh mused, his eyes scannin...

"So, you're telling me there's someone out there who looks exactly like me?" Tashigi asked in surprise.
At this moment, Zoro, Tashigi, Nami, the shopkeeper, Johnny, and a few others were all gathered together.
The earlier misunderstanding had been cleared up, Tashigi had never heard...
In the East Blue, at Loguetown, Roronoa Zoro had already become a seasoned bounty hunter. He had left Shimotsuki Village some time ago, venturing out on his own.
Of course, he was still as hopelessly lost as ever. It seemed that no matter where he went, no one could give him proper directi...
