Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [110]

From the vantage of the space elevator, the chaos engulfing the station was laid bare. Panicked screams echoed as helpless staff members scrambled amidst the disorder, while those maintaining order stood resolute amidst the turmoil.

“Direct the evacuation! Move quickly!”

The pink-...

“Wait, wait, Venti, let me get this straight. After an entire night of consideration, instead of meeting us at the church to leave together, you snuck onto the train on your own?”

March 7th looked utterly perplexed as she questioned him.

“Why would you go out of your way to do t...

The next day arrived after a long night.

Welt made his way to Qlipoth Fort to formally announce the Trailblazers’ decision to leave Jarilo-VI.

Bronya, unsurprised, simply nodded and said, “It seems you’ve made up your minds. Rather than try to dissuade you, I believe I should of...

The Lower City.

The Trailblazers gathered together, with March 7th rubbing her eyes and stifling yet another yawn. Sleepiness still clung to her like a stubborn fog.

“—Huff, so Uncle Yang, you called us out here… for this?”

“March, this concerns Venti’s safety. We ne...

“Speaking of my wish, we must start with another story first—”

Venti retrieved another harp from his embrace, strikingly similar to the one he usually carried, and began to sing softly.

“In the past, in the world where I lived, there were beings called Archons. Driven by their...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [110]

After confirming that she was indeed in Teyvat, Kiichi Hōgen developed a keen interest in the ingredients available in this world.

In the game, no matter if it was pigeons by bridges or raptors in deserts, the meat they dropped was uniformly called Fowl. Similarly, whether it...

There was no sound, no light, no life.

This was a world of nothingness.

Run... run... run...

The taste of blood and rust clogged her throat. The cold air cutting into her lungs felt like tiny blades, and her legs felt as heavy as lead.

There was no safe place. Malice surro...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [108]

Why do you take up the blade?

Why do you swing the blade?

Perhaps such questions were too profound for a child so young to answer.

The child was small, their features undeveloped, making it difficult to discern whether they were a boy or girl. Their hair, a blu...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [106]

The sky was a bright blue, the sun radiant, and the occasional clouds drifted by in just the right measure.

The air was fresh, likely due to the surrounding seas, and carried a strong hint of moisture on the breeze.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

It wasn’t the darkness of approac...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [110]

Seeing how hard Gary was working, Luo Yuan almost felt bad knowing there were no fossils under that spot.

So, he decided to end the “competition” himself.

Taking a folding shovel from his spatial backpack, Luo Yuan walked toward a nearby rock face where he’d sensed a fossil, und...

“I heard the League was planning to set up a new gym in Dark City, but I didn’t expect things to get so out of hand over the competition for it.”

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Silph sighed after Luo Yuan recounted everything that had happened in Dark City.

“That’s norma...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [108]

Hearing Luo Yuan’s words, Yas and Kaz wanted nothing more than to join their subordinates in running away.

But Slowpoke’s Psychic held their feet firmly in place, making escape impossible.

Despite their desperate pleas, Luo Yuan remained unmoved.

Now that Yas and Kaz’s fol...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [107]

Dragonair stepped in to replace Gyarados, facing off against Scyther.

Seeing the opponent change, Scyther let out a breath of relief.

Gyarados’s Intimidate had been weighing on it, and its tough, armored body made finding a weak spot difficult.

Now, facing a Dragonair without ...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [106]

“X-Scissor!”

Scyther’s bladed arms crossed into an X, slicing down toward Electabuzz.

But Electabuzz, being Scyther’s longtime rival, reacted instantly. Its fist crackled with electricity as it met Scyther’s attack head-on.

“Thunder Punch!”

While X-Scissor de...

I Just Want a Single Ending [110]

As soon as Kamigawa Saku stepped into the room, he immediately noticed Misumi Uika sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone, with her teammate Mana seated beside her.

The set looked like it had just finished shooting one commercial, and they were setting up for the next scene.

I Just Want a Single Ending [109]

“Sure.”

With such a beneficial offer falling into his lap, Kamigawa Saku wasn’t about to turn it down.

If she hadn’t asked to exchange contacts, he’d have found a reason to suggest it himself.

After all, unlike Misumi Uika, Yuutenji Nyamu didn’t have any barriers kee...

I Just Want a Single Ending [108]

After quickly weighing her options and taking into account Kamigawa’s concern about privacy, Nyamu decisively abandoned the idea of asking him to appear in her video.

It was only their first meeting, and they barely knew each other; pushing him to be on camera would be too forward.

...

I Just Want a Single Ending [107]

Yuutenji Nyamu? Shouldn’t it be Yuutenji Wakaba?

Hearing her name, Kamigawa Saku was momentarily puzzled.

The name didn’t match what the system notification had displayed.

Maybe it was an alias? A name to keep her real identity hidden?

Regardless of her reason...

I Just Want a Single Ending [106]

With some time left before arriving at the company, Kamigawa Saku put on his headphones and started watching a few makeup videos.

Even though Togawa Sakiko hadn’t yet agreed to collaborate, or even decided on becoming an Instagram influencer, a little research couldn’t hurt.

“Stupefy!”

A stunning spell shot forward, but Kathoom lazily dodged it, letting out a yawn.

“What’s with all the excitement?” the owl asked. “This isn’t your first time dealing with this.”

Bruce stood at the entrance of a large building, his wand—the E...

Time flew by.

Bruce celebrated his thirteenth birthday during his time at Hogwarts.

In the weeks following the events in the Ravenclaw Chamber, the school focused heavily on providing psychological counseling for its students—and Bruce was no exception.

After all, only a selec...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [108]

Regardless of Bruce’s current feelings, Rowena Ravenclaw had made up her mind.

If Dumbledore wanted her to remain at Hogwarts, then Bruce’s apprenticeship was a non-negotiable condition.

The boy’s sharp tongue had left her seething. She was determined to “educate” him proper...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [107]

Some time earlier…

In Dumbledore’s dream.

Albus stood in the middle of the Great Hall at Hogwarts, his gaze fixed on the enchanted ceiling above, where a myriad of stars twinkled against the night sky.

“Brother?”

A soft voice call...
