Because it sure doesn't seem like you understand..." When Calandro gives Tanya a doubtful look, she glares right back. A bullet from a handgun was just as powerful as that of a submachine gun, but it wouldn't have full-auto fire if the trigger was held down. Neither her coworkers nor the café owner was around. She was answered by the hectic sounds of the kitchen as the chefs busily worked: the roar of the flames that seared the meat, the clop-clop of knives chopping vegetables. The red dragon's body weaved back and forth as she continued her flight. But Utai found herself just the tiniest bit unnerved by the older girl. "I'm always praying for your happiness, Mashiro." what?" Most of the accessories displayed were metal, but the one that caught Menou's eye was a cloth scrunchie. Lester clearly had the stronger physique—he was confident that his physical strength was the highest among the entrants still remaining in the tournament—and his Bardiche-Leo was specially designed to maximize his attack power. But!" Even Soma agreed that it was unlikely, but he wasn't asking this of her because he thought it was going to happen. See, look..." She cracks her neck. Tisalia probably isn't sick, but there still might be something wro--" "Ngh, gulp, glug!" What is it about them that captivates the human heart so?" "Aye, I don't mind doing that, but..." Places of story and legend were often important to villagers. Jint asked nervously. Or so she'd hoped. Then we've got to keep it running at a profit, crush the restaurant owner's plans, and lead him to destroy himself. That was where the King of Cursed Serpents, the king basilisk, lived. There was no way an excuse like this could fly. If you are not feeling well, then it would be best to rest for a while—" "No, I'm fine," I replied, once more facing that girl who had introduced herself as Chiffon Chel. In situations where he determined he could not kill all the humans, he planted seeds in them and retreated. It's a rare skill, but... Marksmanship like that would be impossible with the naked eye, don't you think?" "At times like this, the only way to get my mind off things is food." This was quite the departure from the girl's usual morning routine. "Why would that band of do-gooders care about my plans?" Such was Konev's supposition. I slowed my pace a bit. That made it sound like we're the bad guys. I think Maki mentioned it to me once, but you're set on going to some kind of college, right?" Don't be such a scrooge!" Whatever do you mean?" She takes another look into Toudou's eyes. In the end, it was up to me to pursue my dreams. "Miss Gold, before we begin exploring, there is something I need to warn you about." "Suzuka-kun!" This time we'd come back right on the day we scheduled, but it was possible that some incident might prevent us from coming back on time. Yuichi broke from her gaze and looked ahead again. "Let's... settle this," he growled as he moved his hard eyes to me. Technically, the school was pretty small, so we'd heard of her before then. Break had no idea what he was talking about. "So I get to join the party now, right?" Being left alone will make anyone feel sad, especially Father. Dexia sincerely apologized, and Aristella eventually sheathed her scimitar. Charlotte chased, trying to stop him, only to be intercepted by an Akebachi. Too frozen to react. But just as he expected, she shook her head, a blue cloth wrapped around it. But─that was all. (It's Steal! Though the basement was dim and dirty, it was a welcome respite since it was the first real chance they'd had to rest since fleeing the prison. "Are you going to make combat uniforms out of this?" And so... "I'm hungry. translation runestone allowed people to converse with each other in proximity to its user. "Uh, um, okay." I went on to tell the students stories about a maid who'd saved her master from a hoodlum, or a cook who'd discovered what illness plagued his lord by observing his diet. An obligation for an obligation... "So, what did you bring in this time?" The young man finally rose to his feet, looking down at the sobbing "chair." Sparkling tears, streaming, sparkled and flowed. More precisely, I'm going to be a conqueror." "Th-This is a misunderstanding, Chief. His hand proceeded to Shut Down regardless. The intruder seemed to be alone. Normally, there was a complicated manual, dozens of pages long, waiting. I thought about her again. His life with Pamil, ridiculously as it had started, had finally approached his ideal. It would've been more realistic for him to think of her as some imaginary friend he had made up to endure his harsh environment. They would go for her first, since she was easier to research than the students. One of his arms remained wrapped around Shun's neck. In that case, how about this?" But when it comes to strong poison, you'd better watch it. There were several strange objects lined up in the enormous cavern, the smallest being about six feet across and the largest being upward of sixteen. Ainz knew it was a worry he didn't need to have, but nonetheless, that was what he was thinking when Gondo walked up to him. Bounding through the crowd with Urga and Kukri knives in their hand, the two girls launched themselves at the oncoming monsters with blades flashing in the night. I looked up at the shining red robot with a smile on my face. A forceful voice fills the area. Haruhi scowled dubiously. "Alice?! Aya smiled. "Io Kuzami-dono, please take care of Reiji-sama. Anguish loomed over Claes Manor because of that dreadful invitation, but the very next day, a solution presented itself from the most unexpected of places. You're not making a campfire!" It was a brand-new midnight-blue phone I'd just purchased a few days earlier. "...Then could our army participate in these exercises?" Mentally lamenting the truth, Mia hid the bag behind her and objected, "It keeps me calm when I have it with me. I'd only been on the periphery of its attack, and I couldn't believe its intimidating presence... That something turned out to be an entire herd of Sandworms. The title of my new series is Ryuu to Shoujo to Amakakeru Kishi ("The Dragon, the Girl, and the Soaring Knight"). Keena tilted her head and spoke. We'll tail him tomorrow and take it from there." "Yeah... They glistened with a tinge of madness. I'd only heard vague references to him as "that adventurer with the strong bow" and so on. Thanks for the handkerchief, Lucia. It was rising on a gentle, yet constant, slope. This free control meant I could wear it like a sort of light protective layer. It's absolutely hysterical!" But this... Fell in love. I wondered if calling him "boss" seemed better, given my new job with him. The result, apparently, was that he didn't want to harass Marcel badly enough to risk making enemies of Josephine and the other girls. Mom turned around and checked something on her terminal before answering. As Shizuku was musing about the changes he was undergoing, the party's final member arrived. "Release Recollection." "But of course! Nobody knew if a xenobeast's stomach contained exactly the same chemicals, so it was impossible to say for certain, but it seemed unlikely that the creature's stomach acid would be more powerful than the agent Jirina used. It was not much different to the Frame Unit at all, it was not." Iris's voice, in reply, sounded surprisingly relaxed. "Now that's a real look you've got in your eye. Was it disgust? Witnessing the kind of being behind this massacre, the rescuers hung back. His left leg was especially bad. I'd better pick up a Jump on the way home!" The messenger's face wrinkled in a proud smile. But the thought of saying that out loud made me feel like I was losing somehow, so I kept it to myself. The Knight Leader turned a new glare on his old friend, who landed on the top of another huge tree. She's so besotted with her sensei, and all." If I were to die in five days, would you be nicer to me?" "!" Quiiite pleasant for you." Still, if I immobilize it and bite it once, that should weaken it significantly. "Yeah, like... After today, I'm willing to believe almost anything." The arrival of the captain reminded him that the girl at Rokujō might be unhappy too. How much volume did that come to?" Someday... Be it in the lifetime of my children, or their children, or their children's children... That those who found themselves on the island will pass through my father's Gate and make their way here, to their true home. The deities smiled at the look of surprise on Bell's face and the gratitude radiating from Hestia's eyes. "I doubt the Meijin feels any pressure at all in a match like this. In the meantime, I had some planning to do. Mamako and Shiraaase had clearly given them a lot to think about... asked Logdonh. "...could the apprentices serve us food from their homelands from now on?" I am glad to hear—" "Mjurran," the demon lord quietly interjected before she could finish her wary answer. I turned around as Claudia pointed that out, and spotted another five shadows. Saiga, with his emotions heightened at having become a berserker, begins talking at an incredible clip as the others in the room stare in surprise. If she hadn't fully manifested, I likely wouldn't have noticed her at all. "It is not that I doubt you. "I only just became a proper guardsman, so I have my hands full just remembering everything. But We still see the resemblance." I see her smiling a lot more often. Y-yeah! He's abandoning the Rook?! "You might have stolen Reika Tsukuyomi's body to become King... If this turns out to be a trap, our ability to respond to it has been greatly reduced." "Wait, you're still going to go with those black clothes?!" One was the God of Creation—an omnipotent and all-powerful goddess no one was sure actually existed. That was the kind of girl she was. "Kyaah!" This isn't a character I like, so I don't need it, but I can't bring myself to throw it out. "..." Eugeo's back trembled a little bit. And after spending those days in thought, she had arrived at the truth she didn't wish to admit. As her master, whatever I said was effectively an order. "Uh, over there..." Masaomi spotted a shadow in the direction they were looking. Duplichiro opened the config screen and summoned a Monetary Blade of his own. Darkness asked, but instead of answering, I shoved open the door of the shop. "Don't sweat it. But Col was a practical and realistic thinker. "Go on." Really...Really, thank you." That was how she knew. According to eyewitnesses though, the beauty of the assailant exceeded not only that of a certain senbei shop owner in West Shinjuku, but the director of Mephisto Hospital as well. They appeared to be evenly matched in that department, but the golem was slowly being worn down as the robot knocked off more and more of its parts. "Even when it comes to inventories, I have so much that I don't know what to do with it all. "She's calling," Mephisto said. "Uh huh. He looked me straight in the eye and gave a knowing wink. He was very much aware of Sapphee's affection for him. I didn't feel hungry, no, but it would technically be the first solid food I'd had in ages. No need for speeches." "Oh God—" the high priest screamed. The magic's gotten a little weaker," she said. He didn't want to be anything like the Republic. Frankly, it was downright eerie. Building an abbey in such a remote location was not merely a question of erecting the buildings – to ensure the monks could sustain their lives, fields and drinking water had to be secured. I, correcting!" And another thing—" Grinning frivolously, Sora finished her words. "Luna, can I ask you about magic?" "Good luck! "At the very same time, fatalities tripled out there." Right alongside extremely commonplace knowledge like "you cross the street at a green light" or "it costs money every time you send a text message on a cell phone" was an... abnormality where magical nonsense was mixed in with his everyday life as if it was natural! Just as they were about to head for Vino's house, they came across him in the village square, crafting arrows with some other men. "It sounds like a hard problem to solve," Liscia said. Her only fascination with it was its resemblance to Koutarou. However, the reprimanded Mari readily gave a too-simple answer with a cool face. "Satisfy me." "It just feels long because I'm short!" Mariage, who had returned from her underground workshop, handed Erika an old-fashioned transmitter from the 21st century. 3 Duke Aurelia and Erika passed through the chamber where foreign nobles awaited their turn for an audience. What are you trying to say, gyah?" "I'm sorry! "What are you trying to pull?! Gauron, Goddard and the others looked at Tessa, their eyes wide in shock. I want to go there! My proposal seemed to have unsettled her, if only a bit. "Bleh, that's salty!" It's common sense to refrain from answering until making sure of the other party's intentions. Whenever I try to drive them off, they turn into ash." The automated turnstile's face display stayed dark the entire time. No one showed themselves. He enjoyed it when Shiiba pinned him down. How cruel! They will likely become the impetus for Limis Al Friedia to change her ways. At the time, wasn't it your left eye that was throbbing?" "Search for any boarding hatch you can find." The convoy attempted to fly out of the cloud, but in every possible direction of escape, the locusts advanced ahead of them. She just replied, "It's nothing," and averted her eyes. "Alright, then. As Takuro and Hiroshi watched, the monster's blue skin began burning and melting away. "You are, of course, most reliable. It might raise a few eyebrows at school, though... Huh? But the size was enough for me to fit comfortably, so wasn't it fine? Even if he were to take a new position with another elder statesmen tomorrow, he felt relieved knowing that he no longer had to work under this ill-tempered man. Gengo immediately turned on his heel and ran from her, and Ino smiled quietly. She blinked at the cup in her hands with no idea what just happened, when an unfamiliar boy's voice asked her, "Are you all right? How the hell does it do that? If Mr. Chotos could repair it, it was certainly another mana tool. How was she supposed to speak to these nobles? Maori Niizono was Mika Furutsuki's polar opposite. "It's so good! Though, I suppose that matters not to the likes of Claudiah. "Dammit, you've really done it now, Noa." I'm hesitant to interrupt Blois when she's already enjoying herself. It's probably my mind playing tricks on me, but I guess that's why I couldn't help but take you under my wing." I stomped on their collapsed bodies. The short spear he sent knifing through the air sank into Lyra's heart. "Yeah, I'll do my best too!" Come to my room later. I feel the same way about you as I do about Emperor Zel or Chomusuke." "...Come again?" Lumachina understood that much. "Huh. " To avoid being seen by the old man, Len's murmuring from her position tucked away in my fur. He was maybe sixteen years old and had a short bow in hand, which he had aimed behind him as he cried out. So good to see you again." Mavis gave her reply clearly. After letting out a sigh, Mana shook her head and rose to her feet. She wasn't like him; she was something else. "I-I really don't know. Well, you may think that if you like. "The way there involves a very difficult passage through the hills, my lord," he nonetheless replied, "but the journey is not especially long. I guess even these weirdos could feel remorse. "Excuse me now. I'm so glad... You're alive. A malfunctioning gear certainly needed to be fixed, but removing it outright would inevitably affect the entire framework. "So what? Mia wasn't particularly fond of this season, but she did like the sky it produced. I helped wipe the windows so clean, you couldn't even tell they had glass in them. Don't make this weird!" It was clear he didn't know the darkness attribute well, so this was a good opportunity. Thank you for your support of the author's rights. "Hey, are you alive?" "Stop it!" "In any case, setting aside the question of whether or not that's all true..." "You think me a liar?" She was still quite curious about their relationship as knight and princess, as well as man and woman. "After boiling the poitan down and then exposing them to sunlight like this, you need to wait until the moisture is completely gone. What he truly lacked was not hesitation─but will. Maybe we should go hole up deep in the mountains for a while. Iori's the first to speak. It probably creeps into the weakest parts of you and starts boasting about its power. The mouth of an armor shark was fifty times as big, and its jagged teeth were a hundred times the size of hers. They probably felt like they'd been sent to an unfamiliar world. After a little while Sensei righted himself in the water and suggested we go back. So powerful was the impact that the knight couldn't help but take a step back!! "Rafu!" "At the very least, I believe this shall put an end to any harassment from other dissenting nobles for the time being. "Sorry... It's kinda hard to keep a grip with this thing. Masato's turn. The darkening sky had finally lost its patience, and just after midday, a thin drizzle began to fall as if shaved from some giant block of ice. The unit's long limbs were designed after an insect's arthropod legs. That's all I can really do to prevent any fallout, isn't it?" My skirt's not completely hiked... Oh, oh, hang on a moment! Two bright, crimson eyes entered my view. Kojou's vision was blotted out by a bright white light. "Right... "Lord Ainz Ooal Gown!" # Michiru's Perspective Michiru, the pink-haired loli that invaded the town, had a job. If this was Governor-General Berwick's solo initiative, he might have been able to put in a good word for the principal. I decided that I might as well do it, though. Immediately!" "My duty is to tell things as they are," he replied with dignity, his face still inscrutable as he shrugged. The gloves immediately shrunk until they became a perfect fit. "That's quite a stone there. "Your Hi—pardon, um, what in heavens are you talking about?" He knew Kunai was arbitrarily planning to make reckless, perhaps suicidal, attack--even if it was a decision that came from proper planning with Skadi and the Guard Patrol squad. IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN THE VOICE OF HEAVEN. Barbatos then raised his voice with a chuckle. Koutarou shouted at the girl before he could take the time to confirm the sensation of her chest. They could feel a hideous, nauseating miasma drawing near. He selected his option by removing one of the big envelopes. "You mean the summoner who was controlling the lesser demon?" He looked over to see the thug crumple to the ground, then sighed and finished his sentence. If we just look, we might find a way." They reported seeing a girl taken, apparently against her will." How's it going?" "Iga Ninja Technique: Five Pointed Magic Circle!" "...Wait. It's so simple..." Sanctina looked to the heavens. Murmuring softly, with murderous glee, Madoka increased the energy to the cutting blade of her buster sword. "Eight! If I'm not here, Melta will be." "Ha-ha-ha. "............ No, that won't be necessary," I answer them. A human being can do all sorts of stuff. It was also true that he was concerned about the man who had gone north. He was planning to block the flame attack with those arms. It was adorable how serious she looked, and I wondered if this was what people called 'moe.' They'd demonstrated as much underground. The remaining hair on his head, which he had so carefully combed down, was now a sloppy mess. Please, please look for me. And unless I imagined it, I thought I saw a bit of a smile on Hinata's face as well. It was ornately decorated, so much so that even after rotting partly it still looked magnificent. "Hah, hah, I am relieved to see there is at least some resentment for him inside you. With this, we'll be able to settle things quickly." I wanna get some money for archery equipment...and some other stuff." Next, she would head downtown and patrol. So what should he do? I wondered if it was because it had better tires or something... From his words, it seemed like Rentt's plan was already in motion; a plan that apparently did not involve violence. A thin, pained smile came over Yukina. In any case, I want to get along with humans." Suddenly, the voice changed. "Th-Thank... you..." Berta still didn't seem to understand the import of what she had done; she just seemed a little embarrassed. Both Auchraw, who made the hateful poisoning request, and the Neikes clan are guilty of committing this crime. Eanru then spoke up like he suddenly remembered something. ������ The next day, the Llewynians retreated to Delphion Castle. "To hell with that!" "Get out quickly. After all, he managed to survive the Night of the Sicilian Vespers." "Wow, the Met!" "All right. Rium and Rakti were still tossing themselves about, trying to absorb every bit of the sensation they could. "Yeah. "You want me to give this to Taichi?" So eat this and calm down a little. For now he'd just find Index and hurry to the stadium where his class was waiting. Or really, we'd made it happen through all this astonishing evolution. "Yomogi and Tsugumi are based out of that dojo," Raphtalia explained. "Cavorite, go!" It was well known that Suoh-Yuuto surrounded himself with beauties. The priests knew this from experience. If I say my name backward, it should be... This is a real problem. I can't risk it...! The creatures collided with each other as they squeezed into the only entrance. Later emissaries had established a greater distance between themselves and the local populace, but there was nothing they could do about the living conditions—thus the high level of interest in perfumes. Two enemies emerged: a hideous stringlike creature that twisted and writhed as it advanced, and a wingless red dragon with loud, clattering footsteps. The people playing the roles of Oni were holding poles that were enchanted with [Paralyze], so they wouldn't be injuring the contestants. I raised a fist, and Parker held up his hands in mock surrender. 14 — Plans for the Day The day after news of Aurantia's declaration of war spread across the capital: I had paused to think after another unhappy breakfast alone in the dining room when Rohtas came in and said, rather stiffly, "Pardon my intrusion, Madam, but I would like to go over today's schedule with you." When it gets this bad, the best thing to do is let the drunk drink 'til he drops, I thought. Colorful tornadoes reflected in his sandy eyes. Her hips twitched while she supported herself on all fours. "2 Six Pawn." And without the ability to procreate, Koutarou would never even have a family in Forthorthe. After the city they'd missed so much came into view from afar, the whole unit was in a good mood. "You're a... how shall I say it? Kamijou reached for the floor. When he opened the letter, a whiff of perfume emerged. Ikki felt bad that he wouldn't be able to talk to Moroboshi, but given the circumstances, he would have felt even worse stopping him from helping. His eyes were wavering between two points: Balot's face and the third million-dollar chip, which had just been placed in the pot as Balot's next bet. The butler gave a slight smile and a bow in return before leaving the pub with his charge. It seemed a little big to be a church yet a little small to be a cathedral. Before long, five minutes of unchanging silence had passed. I pray that you welcome her to heaven. "Yeah, they don't really give a shit about me either way." Evidently, he had no intention of sugarcoating his words. Naturally, I guess. If he couldn't save one insignificant woman, then he would be set back and he would be frustrated. Stiyl still didn't blame Agnes even after hearing that. They'd brought Zehmet up to hate slavery as a cover, so that no one would ever suspect them. "Teehee! I could hear how bewildered Gourry sounded, but I couldn't see his expression since I'd turned around. Gaius Beldarus, King of the Kobold Kingdom." What's more, it seems like the units coming after us know what they're doing. I just have to accept the quest for that?" It's no use; there's just too many... The man eyes widened as he spoke. At this point, Madiath wouldn't have been surprised if his counterpart already knew about that night, too. "Just... "You know I had a great time?" So they'd been forced to take a break. Not bad. The inn the store owner recommended was 4 silver coins for a night's stay with meals. The next moment, he heard an articulate voice from behind him that somehow seemed to be mocking him. Dennis checks over everyone, hoists his own makeshift bag over his shoulders, and shouts out, "Okay, guys! Had Melromarc sent an assassin already? ��Yeah!�� "What about you, Dora-chan?" Please give me cash." It seemed her brother was seriously, genuinely, from the bottom of his heart, anguishing over his failure. "At first, I wanted to begin my conquest with this town, but now that I reflect upon it further, 'taking over the world' is a really complicated matter. My Natural Self Whatever the case might be, Haruhiro had been wanting to meet with Soma. I gave her a sympathetic smile. Hoping to get a hint from the boss's English name, I turned to my wiser partner and said rapidly, "What does the word irrational mean, Asuna?! "Oh, no. At this rate, all of these civilians—the wives and the elderly, the sick and invalid—all of them will all get caught up in the fight and die!" There was also stuff on the list I knew I'd never want to look at. He really is a Hero! "That's the product of experience." "I had them hide in the mountains and watch the port. "You guys are not a battalion, though," Dennis replies. I smiled and wiped my body down. Glancing at the innkeeper, the Demon Lord called Aku with the communication tool. Of course, the ideal would be if this is all a misunderstanding. Sora and Shiro, dancing through the night sky, were suddenly assaulted by a roar and a gale, shouting as they found themselves in a tailspin. Erika left around the time that the shoot started wrapping up. "Hey, Sakuraba-senpai. "From what I've heard, when Trash's power reaches a precarious state, there could be a regime change. Whoever it was might've been hidden quite well, and all five of D's senses had certainly been focused on the coffin. You can rest easy. Our first job is to cross the forest and make it to the town." Kaoru asked Wigbeard to open the prince's chapel. "The Genesis Buster?! "She came down with an illness five years ago... Casting just one is more than enough to shatter a person's body, and it would not be surprising if your very soul disappeared, as well. Dog, having neutralized his poison, had decided to keep himself hidden until his foes were nearly out of time. He looked angry, probably because I'd put too much force into it. We reached the desert by morning, yet it was already hot. Those words, if anything, don't sound like yours. The light from pushion emissions affected the emotions of those who saw them. I mulled these things over as I watched the slaves. He was definitely teasing me because Kikuchi-san had called my recent changes wonderful. "Protect Kaori-sama!" His footprints remained. An opportunity to make myself look good." Go get now!" "Futi......" Crunch. She was liable to start crying, and she didn't want Lazuline to see. That's why Koutarou decided not to grieve for Alaia. Sure enough, the hangar was full of countless silver hulls that looked just like the hero Hayato's dimensional submarine, the Jules Verne. "If you get off on weird scenarios like endings where you die right after the game begins, I'd really rather you do it somewhere else." "You even said it yourself, Araragi-senpai. She fired off one last burst to cover her escape. I raced through the darkness with Elzard. The damage was probably due to all of Takumu's needle missiles exploding, too, but even so, this was quite the destructive power. "He was overthrown," Wein casually admitted. "Hey, thanks." "Ah... you know... um..." Kyouhei couldn't explain the exact specifics, and so only stammered. Why are you going this far?! The love of him filled her; she looked up at Wilhelm. Laniote slowly nodded. "Hm?" His eyes turned toward Elena's lower abdomen, which now squirmed unnaturally. Tree trunks like thick, twisting vines of ivy burst from the earth and spread out. Another thing to add is that this is a very rare item. It was a weekday, though, so it was only locals and still pretty empty. "Huh?...Yeah, looks like it." Elias can get by somehow with his superhuman strength, but how did Aki fare with her low level? Anyway... "And that's how I got to be his apprentice." When I got back to the dorm, the Princess had just woken up. I would like to hear the details of that." That was my business. Right now I'm using my ears to listen to the goddess's music. Everyone giggled at Skuld's angry response, and their doubts about Ven fell to the wayside. Short of them dwelling on some solitary, remote island, there was no way that a herd of elder dragons could live in the same place for thousands of years and still keep that location a secret. "Oh, you want us to fight? Yuiri had a particular junior student float into the back of her mind. "Looks like the spell's worn off." Munechika walked forward and shot Godou again. A Mythical UBM would be a difficult opponent regardless, but Langley had possession of Gold Thunder the Prism Steed — so if worse came to worst, Altimia could at least escape. I close the only way out with Earth Magic. "Call her Lady Saya! People had always been obsessed with the idea of eternity. It's called the angel series, and it's really popular with girls. Oh, but it's not bad... Yeah, I think I like this one. "So that's what happened." We'd learn so much more about the warped world if we met with Rosalie, so I readily agree. "Wha..." Haruyuki's dumbfounded voice was overwritten by Frost Horn's high-pitched laughter. Rest and joint training for four months, plus two months of basic training to improve the recruits' skills. I thought about making the playing cards out of paper, but boards were cheaper than paper, and the washi made by the Myne Workshop would need to be modified to work as cards. "Oh, but it was you who requested their readmission, wasn't it? "Leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens. A little less than two, maybe. Here! "We'll keep a close eye on the match for you. "What about Phoenix?" The array of bio-satellites gave the Earth a ring like Saturn's, and by binding them together the ring grew in size and solidarity. Averting your eyes from what's real in search of what you want to see makes you a fool who can't even understand what's in front of your nose. It rose high, and closed in as fast as I could. She turned to her mother for help, but Elisha just smiled. Then there was him. If I try fishing around in the director's office, something might come up." To make it look even more beautiful, it was covered with a layer of orange sauce made from cooking the juice from an apfelsige with sugar. "You know, the secret to surprising people with magic tricks is to show them something that makes them wonder how you did it." Lud's voice was shaky. Land division was very important to villagers. The group of demons attacking us from the front were being overwhelmed. "Why are you here? He seemed unable to. "So, why are you here?" She had to expose rabble-rousers inside the country, and at the same time, prevent outside troublemakers from entering the country. The curtain swayed in the wind, and I realized the window was open. Earlier, Sven's heart had been frozen and her body felt weak and tired, but after seeing that Lud had forgiven her, strength surged through her. Once we tell her that there was a demon in the Eastern Woods, she seems both surprised... and satisfied with our explanation. Just north of here,..." "..." "..." "..." Huh? The things we couldn't do yesterday might be possible today. With their bellowing cries ringing in the air, the huge mass of Panther Clan army soldiers launched their charge. "Both their faces are weak. It's that ghost ship that shows up in thick fog. One of the bandit gangs started kidnapping children from Gideon and the nearby villages. "U-uhh...y-yes.
