I Just Want a Single Ending [42]

“Sorry my parents talked with you both for so long,”

Gotoh Hitori apologized awkwardly after leading them to her room.

“It’s no big deal; we had a good time chatting.”

Ijichi Nijika waved off her concern without a second thought.

Kamigawa Saku agreed wholehearted...

I Just Want a Single Ending [41]

“Um…could you explain what exactly is going on here?”

There was just too much to process, and Saku couldn’t decide where to even start. The bold welcome banner hanging from the house, Bocchi’s eccentric get-up, and that odd comment he’d overheard…

Boyfriend and girlfrien...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [45]

Drake considered calling for Kanto League backup.

But he dismissed the idea just as quickly.

The S.S. Anne was far from port by now, and even if the League sent help, there was no guarantee they’d arrive in time.

In any case, unless they sent an Elite or a battalion, reinforce...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [44]

Salamence’s injury made Drake realize this fight might not be as straightforward as he’d hoped.

Still, a single setback didn’t mean the battle had shifted in Luo Yuan’s favor.

“Altaria, Dragon Breath!”

“Salamence, Dragon Pulse!”

Altaria supported, while Sal...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [43]

While Luo Yuan was battling Drake, Team Rocket had already begun their operations in other parts of the S.S. Anne.

The Ballroom

A grand ball was in full swing, with nearly all passengers gathered in the lavish hall.

Suddenly—bang!

The ballroom ...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [42]

Drake sat in the cabin, hand resting on his belt, remaining vigilant.

Five days earlier, when the S.S. Anne first docked, he'd received a warning from the Kanto League. They'd learned that Team Flare was planning to steal his Evolution Keystone and Mega Stones.

Drake hadn’t believed...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [41]

"There are others..."

Hearing Sabrina's words, Luo Yuan sat up in bed.

"Are you sure? Maybe it's just room service delivering food or something..."

With that many security personnel around, it wouldn’t be unusual for someone to be bringing them food and drink.

"I can tel...

Gringotts, Underground Vault.

The sound of a loud thumping echoed through the vault, as though something was ramming against its iron door.

The goblins on duty noticed the commotion, immediately suspecting an intruder.

But before they could even confirm, the heavy door ...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [44]

The appearance of Godric Gryffindor was the biggest game-changer in the battle.

With his presence, the weight on Dumbledore’s shoulders lightened considerably, and the professors watching from the sidelines felt a renewed sense of hope.

A thousand years ago, Godric had wielded both ...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [43]

The battle on the stone bridge had already alarmed the staff and students within Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall, acting as Deputy Headmistress, quickly ordered all students back to their dormitories, then led the other professors to the castle gates.

They initially believed that, by g...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [42]

Salazar Slytherin!

Hearing the name spoken aloud, Dumbledore felt his heart sink.

He glanced at Jason standing smugly behind Salazar, filled with an unspeakable fury.

No wonder Lupin had come to him to confess—disturbing the rest of Hogwarts’ founders was an act of ultimate ...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [41]

Dumbledore apparated onto the stone bridge just outside of Hogwarts.

“Bruce has still gone in, hasn't he…”

His heart was heavy. A gifted child had still strayed onto the wrong path.

Quirrell was one thing, but now Bruce, too, had his sights set on the Philosopher's Stone.<...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [45]

In the grand, sacred halls of Qlipoth Forth, a young woman, elegantly dressed and poised, was presenting her strategic plans for the ongoing battle to the Supreme Guardian.

Her resolve was as solid as a fortress, her words sharp yet precise. Most striking of all, her gaze was unwaveringly f...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [44]

Bronya woke up in her room, her clock silently pointing to the afternoon.

She had returned at dawn, around five o’clock, reported on her duties, and reached home by six. Then, she’d gone down to the underworld with Venti and experienced so much in just one trip.

It added up to aro...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [43]

For a brief moment, Bronya felt an urge to abandon everything and witness the world that Venti spoke of.

But as her gaze touched the colored lights hanging around them and the empty houses below the town…

The responsibility in her heart outweighed all else. Her impulsive thoughts fa...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [42]

“Mm... that’s right. Just follow this path, and at the end, we’ll reach our final stop.”

Walking ahead, Venti explained their destination to Bronya, who took the opportunity to observe the surrounding shops and signs, a faint sense of familiarity surfacing in her heart.

“Why...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [41]

"Venti, do you think I’m foolish?"

Bronya’s head hung low, her heart weighed down with an overwhelming sense of helplessness and frustration.

"As the heir to the Guardian, I’ve undergone endless training and conditioning, yet all I can do is watch Silvermane Guards sacrifice the...

Flames.

Flickering softly, leaving no ashes.

Beautiful, pure flames.

Since that day, this flame had always been there, lingering in her dreams, within her very soul.

If something were thrown into it, it would burn to nothing.

If sin were cast into it, it would be sea...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [44]

Jasmine’s cursed energy and stamina were running low.

After taking out so many monsters, she was immediately confronted with a Special Grade curse without a chance to recover.

Unlike her, the bizarrely moving curse had yet to use any techniques of its own, yet it wielded a massive a...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [43]

The monsters swarmed Jasmine in endless waves, surging toward her like a tide.

They varied in appearance, each more grotesque than the last, testing the limits of human aesthetics and revulsion alike.

But Jasmine was unfazed. As the battle raged on, her mind, body, and spirit sharpene...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [42]

The so-called "Black Flash" occurs when the delay between physical impact and cursed energy output is less than 0.000001 seconds, creating a spatial distortion. Its power is calculated by raising the product of physical and cursed energy strengths to the 2.5th power—a "critical hit" wrapped in ...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [41]

“Baobhan Sith, sister…”

Inside the moving taxi, Jasmine was practically glued to the window, frowning as she stared at the passing scenery.

She could see things invisible to ordinary people—a huge black dome covered the spot where Baobhan Sith had gotten out earlier, obscuring...

Type-Moon: The Human Love Simulator [138]

Suren entered the infernal realm of Tartarus.

He had a favorable relationship with the Underworld’s ruling couple, so gaining access to the Queen’s garden and persuading Persephone to open the gates of Hell posed no challenge.

Curiously, the entrance to Tartarus lay directly benea...

Type-Moon: The Human Love Simulator [137]

Under the Golden Age of Prosperity, Greece had become a land of wealth and abundance, its divine productivity fulfilling nearly every need that wasn’t man-made.

For example, filling one’s belly or even building a Gundam with one’s bare hands wasn’t difficult. Yet, there were always ...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [170]

Noticing Xiao’s intense, almost probing gaze on him, Gu Sanqiu turned to size up the weapon in the adeptus’s hands, a similarly evaluative look in his eyes.

An exclusive weapon, boosts critical rate… he mused.

He wondered if the weapon’s supposed “crit rate” ...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [169]

Whoosh—

The massive pressure of wind came at him from all directions. Even with his cultivation, all Gu Sanqiu could do was channel the power of Decarabian within him to shield his face—lest he be permanently disfigured.

After he’d shared the exact coordinates of the Sa...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [168]

In a secluded and secretive spot capable of remotely influencing all matters in Liyue Harbor… well, that’s just the kind of setup that certain rats in the shadows absolutely love.

But, if someone has been there and someone knows about it, then there must be memories of the place.

...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [167]

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Gu Sanqiu pulled out a handful of donkey-hide gelatin cakes and other potent energy restoratives, stuffing them all in his mouth in one go.

The Wraith Bone Brush was now latched onto his arm—or more accurately, its tip had stabbed into his arm, greedily siphon...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [166]

The events that followed far exceeded Gu Sanqiu’s expectations.

One after another, the cursed remnants continued hurling themselves onto the point of his spear, as if eager to complete some bizarre achievement he’d call “Divine Skewer.”

Of course, before they impaled themselve...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [135]

Several days passed.

From a distance, Luo Qing spotted the Shogunate reinforcements led by Kujou Sara. He then glanced back at the neatly arranged line of resistance soldiers still dancing on Nazuchi Beach. With a casual wave, he turned off the phonograph.

As soon as the music stopped...
