Sakura, Crying

I rode on Hugging Bear-sama's back and came to the building where Mumroot and Kagali's old party once sealed one of Orochi's heads.

There were monsters outside the building, and Hugging Bear-sama was fighting them. I am trying to keep the s...

"Now that I think about it, I'm glad I lost my ability to use magic. I was liberated from the pressure of expectations... but that burden was placed on you."

"...For me, my brother will always be the best. Whether you can use magic or not, I will always look up to you. I tried to be like yo...

"Come on, let's get in already. The king is waiting for us."

I couldn't deny the feeling that I was the only one being left behind, but we had to move on.

Gramps nodded his head. At the same time, the guards opened the heavy-looking door.

There was a palpable sense of unease in ...

VTGWH 241

For some reason, I am more nervous than he is.

Gramps walked with a familiar gait, strolling with ease through the palace without hesitation.From the time he left the impoverished village to the time he arrived here, his expression has hardly changed.

When I met Duke after leaving the...

"This lake is called Shichirin for a reason."

At the prince's words, everyone stared at the lake with stern eyes.

Surely, there must be a reason for this foul-smelling, poisonous lake.

Still, I'd never heard of a selfish poison whose contents change depending on the person. Well...

"Well, it's not like you're going to die immediately."

Vice Admiral Neil interrupted from the side, perhaps having overheard my conversation with Ceres.

"It's just superstition, isn't it?"

"It is more accurate to say that no one has ever returned rather than to say that they hav...

The Fifth Tanaka Family Meeting [Part 2]

"Also, it seems that you've spent quite a lot of money too, George?"

"Urk! U-Uh, there were many evening parties... and we ran out of paint, so we had to restock them... Also... the cost for the construction of the...

Bear-san, Learns Kagali-san's secret

“I was wondering if you were hurt when you jumped into those flames! Any burns?" (kagali)

Kagali-san touched my face with concern. Then her large breasts dangled in front of me.

“These clothes are made of a s...

Melsa's POV

"Now, only a short two weeks. I have only been gone for two weeks, and my cute daughter somehow turned into a Holy Maiden when I came back? Mind telling me what is all this about?"

The Advent of a Holy Maiden [Part 3]

Naturally, the patients were the poor yet able-bodied 50 to 60-year-old sailors who went out on long and harsh voyages.

There were barely any scurvy patients in the slums because the people there had recently had their...

VTGWH 238

We, the expedition members, were riding our horses along a wide, empty road under a clear, cloudless sky.

...I couldn't believe I was getting up so early in the morning. I'm amazed that Victor, the prince, and the elders were able to get up so early, let alone the soldiers. I wondered if it...

"How did you know I was a woman?"

"... On the contrary, I wonder how you thought you wouldn't be found out. A man's frame is very different from a woman's. It doesn't matter how tightly you wrap your chest with cloth."

Cate spoke quickly, as if disgusted. Everyone around him agreed wi...

VTGWH 236

It was great that I was chosen to be a part of the expedition, but I had no idea the departure date was tomorrow. They should have told us that a little earlier.

I envy Victor's free-spiritedness. Come to think of it, Duke-sama always seemed so stuffy.

After the training was over, I w...

I never thought I would have a birthday in the Ravaal Kingdom.

Sixteen years old... I should be in my first year of high school. I'm a blossoming high school student.

It had not been that long since I came to the Ravaal Kingdom, but it has been a year since I left that hut...

It...

Bear-san, Fights The Orochi, Part 2

The fire raged with the Fire and Wind Orochi heads, and the wind gusts. The blazing flames on the Fire Orochi head's were getting stoked more and more by the feeding of the wind.

The wind appeared to have intensified th...

(Editor's note: We're changing giant snake/giant serpent here to Orochi. Yes, it's not a pure 8 headed snake with 8 tails like in the Japanese folklore, and its physically more akin to a Lernaean Hydra, but the author keeps referencing it to it as Orochi and Giant Serpent in his author's notes, s...

The Advent of a Holy Maiden [Part 2]

Jacob's POV

The slum children had never touched our meals. I could not even see a shadow of the slum children who would punch, trick, or worse, kill, for a piece of bread in them.

I could only se...

VTGWH 234

The sun's peak gradually appeared on the horizon.

Early in the morning, me, Duke, and Henry gathered in the courtyard of the Williams' house.

Today was the day when Gramps would be finally leaving the village.

I am happy, excited, and a little anxious at the same time. If the ki...

"Seeker...Will, you say?"

For the first time, the king looked upset.

He had hardly changed his expression earlier, no matter what kind of argument we were having...

I could see his deep, ocean-colored eyes were shaking. Of course, it was not only the king who was upset by my wor...

"Did she really give him an eye...?"

Arnold said with a slight tremor in his voice.

I didn't think she would go that far, and I could understand why he would suspect me of lying, even if I said so myself.

I didn't expect Alicia to give Gramps an eye, either.

"The other par...

VTGWH 231

I have to give you credit for having the guts to say that at this point, Liz Cather.

For the first time, I thought you were great.

"Who said anything about a war?"

Duke looked a little annoyed.

She wasn't affected by anything just now, but I knew she wasn't the only one wh...
