With the morning dew still clinging to the forest floor, sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled, fish-scale patterns across the path ahead of Shirou.
The forest no longer held the weight and silence of the night. It now felt like a spring surging from the mountains—br...

Shirou gritted his teeth, fighting down the taste of blood rising in his throat as he rushed forward, hands tightly gripping his katana.
He didn’t dare stop for even a second. No matter how overwhelming the boy’s last attack had seemed, Shirou wasn’t sure whether the demon was actuall...

A shrieking roar tore through the forest, the silver blade carving through the air like a death knell—it was as if the boy’s fate had already been sealed.

Time waited for no one. The boy’s instructions to Shirou had only taken a moment—barely two sentences. Just how long could that possibly buy them?
But for a demon who had already recovered, that was more than enough time to retrieve the weapon that had been knocked away with its severed...

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!"
The demon clawed frantically at its own head, muttering under its breath in a crazed loop. Bloodshot eyes, erratic movements—it looked utterly unhinged.
Shirou felt no sympathy for a creature like this. He certainly wasn’t going to just st...

Volo gripped August’s arm like he was afraid August would make a run for it.
Sighing, August said, “First off, the one who borrowed money from you was Gold.”
“Second, I never said I wouldn’t pay you back.”
“And last, can you calm down and let go of me first…”

When August finally found Zinnia, she was sitting beneath a large tree, hugging her knees in defeat, sobbing tiny pearl-like tears.

Elders always said: never go out at night, for in the darkness, man-eating demons lurk.
