What are you lot standing around for?
Stop!
Don't hit me...!"
"You say that, but I think about it a lot.
Rei taxied to Boomerang Squadron's area.
I have some leeway in the afterword this time, so I'll go ahead and introduce the next volume, volume 24.
Wasn't that kind of a big deal?
"Bring it on."
They were items that anyone could make easily, so the imitations proceeded to roll on in.
He still wanted to insult her even after she'd saved his life?
"I stopped by on business and to express my sympathies."
"You're so beautiful!
I continued to stare at the map.
Dario shivered and left the sideshow in a hurry.
"Have your entry permit?"
I walked over to the empty bucket I'd left in one corner of the room and filled it up with warm water.
"It is unavoidable," Aureolus said without emotion.
And of course, my nerves were on fire, too, so much so that I thought I would go mad.
"What should we do?"
"Could you not abuse your power so openly?!
he nearly shouted at her, but the words caught in his throat as he shook with anger.
We are here to request your assistance in full knowledge of the dangers."
He took in a single breath and held it, and in the next instant, he fired off a volley of mana arrows.
And worst of all was the person in charge of the monastery.
Unlike the money changers whose reputations depended on the accuracy of their scales, the scales that merchants carried were doctored as a matter of course.
Slon was on standby in the driver's seat, and as she approached, he flicked the hazard lights on briefly.
I have to vomit."
The Yggdrasil Cathedral was his armor.
"Damn, I'm getting goosebumps.
"Well, though that one may well stake his claim to the sacred bloodline of the þjóðann this way, he must lay with such an ugly, worthless failure in order to do so, so we are equal in our misfortune," Rífa chuckled disdainfully.
Behind her, Yukinoshita just looked at us imperiously.
This was fun.
I will send you back to the Dragons' Den."
"Please take me with you."
Still crouched on the floor, the girl looked curiously up at the monitors.
The explanation for the rank you're assigned will be given by the person in charge of such matters afterward.
High Elf Archer may have had more experience (or so she fancied), and Lizard Priest was perhaps a calmer head.
Zero and Akuto froze in the sky for a moment like a picture, but then Zero's body exploded and engulfed everything in a sea of orange light.
Is that okay?"
The only way I was going to keep my sanity was to quickly find the identity of whoever caused this mess and put them in the ground!
Uaaagh."
Jet nodded.
Occasionally there were orc children sitting in the windows of the square-ish buildings across the river of lava.
That's all there is to it."
Suddenly a lot of things made sense.
A dominion fit to be called Kingdom Hearts must be my dominion!"
My pent-up resentment was probably pretty clear now, what with the spiteful tone of my voice.
"You said something like, 'It is a grievous sin to try to make the world your own.
Inspired by Kyousuke's commentary, Renko and Ayaka tore into the story with enthusiasm.
Well, whatever.
I enchanted everything here!"
And sure enough, Fulsig cocked his head dubiously.
A pretty shrewd idea, I thought, although I wasn't sure which of them would get to fight in the arena yet.
"Me?
It was fine to do whatever if you were just a mercenary looking for cash.
So that's why you're dressed like that, huh?"
"And your expression seems to have brightened up quite a bit.
"That's too much of a mouthful.
If that's true, then it would totally help us out!
He'd unleashed his move with absolute conviction that a man of Gazef's caliber wouldn't die from something like this.
"What is there left to hide?"
"What?"
Please, take them away!"
Maybe they had the effect of boosting experience.
"I'm going back to the station later tonight."
I think this, but my grade in such a class probably wouldn't be very good.
I knew already─it had to be a wish about her parents, right?
What are you trying to make Kanase do?!"
I'm sorry!
What d'ye even want from the old man, anyway?"
All he needed to do to evade it was drop to the ground like he was going to start crawling.
She began to cast a spell that wouldn't even leave dust behind, but Arian gripped her right arm with her left hand to stem the flow of blood and forced herself to stand.
The Island Guard's riot police were engaged in combat with that Guardian.
I've got the upper hand!
"Oh?
A party was about to begin in the sinister tower.
Most had some sort of motif.
His trousers were too short, leaving his ankles bared, and his sandals were thinner than a slice of meat carved by a stingy butcher.
It was completely believable that she was sticking with Tonio for his cooking skills.
I can make this much money any time I want."
Ah!"
I'm part of the Merchant's guild too, at least in name, so I should do some merchant things every once in a while."
Apparently, my life is at risk.
If they abduct her, I have no clue where they would take her, or what they would do to her.
I parried the blow handily.
"Yeah, he does, doesn't he?
He managed to stand himself at the ready.
"I'll see if the demon army can help bolster our revenue in some way.
Hermes watched in awe, frozen to the spot, before cracking a smile in spite of himself.
"We're going out for a while.
I'd better have a word with Ludwig about keeping a closer eye on things..."
"Huh?
Besides..." She looked concerned.
You just sit back and relax."
Darkness made a swipe for the pendant around my neck, but I dodged her and nimbly hid it away.
The ceiling was between sixty and eighty feet high.
I mean, it basically made sense.
He stopped her and clutched the black syringe that held light, moving toward Captain Mismis's side.
"Swimmingly.
"Ryouko, you're making it hard for me to order anything when you say that...," said Kaede.
"When someone in such shabby shape after wading through such filth says so, it's nearly believable!
Kai carefully watched the crooked blade of the stone axe flying toward him and hastily stepped forward to close the gap between him and his opponent while dodging the attack.
After Sven told her the details of Milly's behavior, Marlene promised to pay for the damages.
However, this time, it was possible that you could still fail the final exam even if you got a perfect score, depending on how well your partner did.
The Legion's central processors were modeled after a large mammal's central nervous system and coded with an unchangeable life span set by the Empire, which had created them.
Then, they were interrupted.
"But the real you's not written anywhere in here."
The point of her lecture was that all taboos had loopholes that could be exploited.
At this rate, it didn't seem like she needed to accompany them anymore.
You.
Just as the commotion started to get too far out of hand for Kieli to do anything about it by herself, a low, forceful voice shouted angrily, "Everybody, pipe down!"
I'll use it to resurrect them in the modern day."
"From what I heard about you, you left... you know... five years ago, and since then you've been traveling around the continent to all sorts of places, right?"
Abruptly, the ground disappeared.
The strong are supposed to bad-mouth those weaker than 'em!
He glanced toward Sylvie, who smirked back wryly.
That!"
I'm getting hungry too.��
��Sui is also hungry~!��
"Ahhh, fine, fine.
He looked Grimm up and down, his mouth twisted into a frown.
"I thought for sure you were gonna say, 'Get your hands off of Holmes!'
"Well, that's great!"
Partly because she realized that despite being in a life-or-death battle, Hajime was taking care not to move so violently that it'd hurt her.
You've got your head up your ass!"
I started nodding in time to her movements—toward me, away from me.
"Well...I stepped on this girl who leaped out from the side, and she bled a whole lot...
Working at Harré, Part Two
It's been half a year since I began working at Harré.
How his successor answers that question will reveal his true capacity."
After a few moments of silence, Jonde clicks his tongue, turns on his heel, and leaves the room to give orders to the soldiers.
As he tried to get his gears cranking, the bucket moved slightly.
But if you feel the same way, then there's no reason to contain myself."
Are you prepared?!"
Lawrence, though, started at the beginning.
"No, no!
If they fought Vattler in the middle of the city, Kojou couldn't even dream of how much damage would be inflicted around them.
"I believe there are, but they're not under guild jurisdiction.
That was the name his homeland, the Republic of San Magnolia, gave them when it defined them as pigs in human form, before the Federacy rescued them.
After that, Rosalie went over to Halkara and gave a deeply courteous bow.
It was merely to ascertain her trust and bring about a favorable outcome for all.
"What does that ofuda do?
"Eli's spending her break with her first love, not her immediate family.
Even if it's just a single present, I can't make a snap decision when someone's feelings are involved."
"That hurts more than this wound did..."
Knowing the price of a Grade 6 vitality potion, it wasn't a surprise that Fez was all but pleased with my consolation.
"Thank you for your help there at the end.
Now there 's a nasty piece of news.
With your powers, it could be accomplished in a snap.
The only thing his new body had in common with his old one was the bald head.
Chapter 4: Paper Is Mightier Than the Beast
As the busy fall harvest came to a close, I recalled what had happened last year around this time.
"All right, then let's all sing together like we did yesterday!"
He spoke in as coercive a tone as he could muster, trying to push through with his usual Demon Lord role play.
If you still don't get it even with all these hints, it would be wise to dismantle your intelligence division and put together a new one."
"That'll cost you.
The one-handed sword was a drop from the minotaur's one hundredth victory against the metal dragon.
That said, we aren't completely out of danger yet.
Lala Ruu had wild emotions to begin with, but this may well have been the most angry I had ever seen her.
To someone like me, who lived a fairly easy-breezy life, those gazes added a lot of pressure.
We begged the supermarkets for the cabbage leaves they threw away.
"We do seem to run into each other a lot, don't we, Beelzebub?
"I mean, you know how I am.
As they reached the exit, Gunther suddenly turned around and glared at Otto, who was still holding Renate.
The room was not neat—it was bereft.
As Philon spoke, Holo lost the aura of nonchalance she had come in with.
Her posture clearly stated that if anyone disturbed her walking, she would kill them with just a look.
"Mm."
"Fool..." Holo roughly wiped away a bit of wine that clung to the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and then fell forward on the table as if exhausted.
The minotaur quickly tried to twist out of the way, slashing at this monster with its right ax as it turned.
The teachers scowled, but couldn't interrupt.
Haruyuki shook his head quickly from side to side.
I'll put your corpses to good use as vanguards in the demon army!"
Mother, you were amazing.
It appeared that she believed me.
The downward curve of our bad luck had finally taken an uptick.
But, in the end, all they did was flee.
"Oh dear.
He struck anyone who charged at him with a single blow to a vital organ or artery; the archers he slew with a single thrown dagger right between the eyes.
I should consider myself lucky..." A twisted ankle was nothing compared to getting stuck in one of those vicious traps.
Kuro frowned.
Guessing who it was, Taki opened her eyes.
I mean, there was a ship running across the land and firing on them.
Maybe it was proof that Ononoki was right, that I wasn't as grown up as Ogi thought I was.
You may have me beat when it comes to fighting monsters, but I've had years of experience fighting people."
Duke Chima asked, his eyes wide.
Log Horizon is created through your support.
But Quo only spared her a glance, clearly not intending to answer her.
He'd accepted this situation himself, and so he had no regrets.
Which means that...the next target isn't the main one, but the person who can play investigator."
Furthermore, his skills as an amateur swordsman were his only means of hunting, so his efficiency was low.
It'd be quite a feat to tell the difference between a body-double and the real individual when one had never seen the person before.
The experts suspect this is more than a few small tribes filtering down from the north.
"S-so I should hug her?...O-okay, then..."
"Hee-hee.
The elderly teacher nodded to himself, satisfied, then raised his voice.
The rest of our visitors had stopped their chatting as they prepared to leave, also remembering that Ramiris was still there.
Our first destination was Hirsch.
Louie said, chuckling at his own joke.
Like, how've things been lately?"
"Eh...?
"Oh, and—!
"...How nice," Mahiru mumbled quietly.
A swarm of vargs, vividly colored monsters in the shape of water spiders, literally exploded from the impact of his fierce kicks.
So Mia's mother was the daughter of Trazayuya, the elf who made the Cradle?
Like, really?
Aaah, nice and cold.
But two days ago, a commission I took turned out to be far more profitable than expected.
There was something I've been meaning to ask you."
I'll just pack all my feelings into it, and here comes my vom-beam.
The game ends when three players reach the goal.
INTERLUDE III
In the middle of the massive Ocean Turtle marine research facility was a vertical shaft sixty feet across and over three hundred feet deep.
said the figure.
"Ngh..."
Maou had no words to counter with.
Around that time, the girls also started wandering in, and Ryuuji and the rest of the boys forgot what they looked like as they pointed and laughed.
It was just like that invitation I'd expected from Phibrizzo in the first place.
I watched Tuya work diligently.
But Ai Yashajin thought about that future and gave a rather honest answer.
"That demon...
But you see."
Having chewed through the energy stored in her spring, she could no longer maintain her inherent ability.
But to me, they're..."
"Your potential children," Mamako said.
Demons?!
Victory was only rewarding if it was earned through a hard-fought battle.
All results were negative."
"It looks like there might be something below us.
It was what I felt in my heart─ephy will be safe with Wataru...
"It is as I said.
D crouched reflexively, the blade he'd just brought down now held out perfectly straight in front of him.
"You truly have grown into a very boring woman, Senjogahara."
In rare cases, even daemons would appear.
Really.
I 'll help as much as I can.
Marie didn't find that the least bit funny.
I can't today."
Jinwoo!"
In an age with no Internet, once you lose touch with a memory or record, it might actually be lost forever.
The woman holding me down proceeded to hit me in the back of the head with the hilt of her sword.
"That scoundrel...
We'll certainly be fine there, even with so many people going.
she asked, tilting her head.
What caught my eye the most, though, was the scarring on his face.
However, Fels seemed more interested in watching Wiene and the other dancers.
"Er...
He wasn't offended by her question at all, and organized his thoughts as he considered the best way to answer her question.
"Going pee?"
Subaru, you don't need to force your way into going in my place.
There are many more where I came from.
I really hoped that it would be somewhere in that warehouse.
In those tunnels, it'll be pitch black, of course.
News of the battle at the well had spread across the country, and figures made in her image were placed near wells after she had become known for protecting them from any evil.
Nagakura had decided to turn himself in, to face up to his crime.
I didn't really think I could cancel out having broken a person by rescuing someone else─I didn't even know how to go about rescuing someone, but─
"Don't let your mind wander, nonsense user," Aikawa slammed the door on my reverie.
"No, I've knowledge of it is all."
"No one's as nagging as you, no.
It was right on the edge of my map, meaning it was roughly a kilometer away, and it was embedded in a wall that looked like it divided the floor.
When you get to this age, you fight with dirty tricks."
Kojou exclaimed.
Shall I teach you the weakness of a golem?"
"Come on, ain't that a good thing?
"Mukohda, you don't really need to sell these gems right now, do you?"
"Reseda."
What's more, what's more, I'm planning to fix the pits that were written out of sequence in the web serialization into a proper chronological order, so I hope you'll join me again next time.
My eyes started to shine with excitement, but Benno raised a hand to calm me down.
But think back.
Why not have a bite to eat?
I opened the door.
"Spirit Zone!"
Ah, you are too cruel!"
As soon as the party ended, we were escorted to the rooms where we would stay the night.
This kind of attention was the one thing Tomoe was least equipped to handle.
Wowee.
To the designers at Code Design.
Don't worry, I will never let you go.
It wouldn't be possible to dig them all up in an hour, but they wouldn't have to share them with Jinwoo and Jinho, so it wouldn't be much of a loss.
Well, the thing is...
"......" There was no reply.
If you lose focus, you'll go back to your Swarm form."
What's up, Unbreakable, ya don't know me, either?"
"And they sacrificed their lives to defeat Nidhogg."
Several faces.
Adlet is over here!"
I felt like having a glass of sugar-water.
I had gone on the journey of purification at his orders, and I accomplished that.
"So what did you discover?"
As a result, they had only just touched on anti-mage combat in training exercises.
Perhaps she was thinking there was only so much a boy his age could do, even if he was the current No.
His goal was to paint them as ruthless terrorists rather than a righteous cause.
"Rock...paper..."
The three women stuck out their hands at the same time.
Wait, do I really smell like that?"
She was wearing a bright blue dress with an apron on top of it, which was decorated with showy lace, and boots that looked easy to walk in protected her feet.
Sensei seemed a little startled.
Mia held up her small hands in a V sign as Arisa had taught her, so I patted her lightly, too.
And we would win.
"Then!
"It takes time to find the points of resonance, which is probably why she stalled with Information Boost.
"Um, what should we do about Satomi-san?"
But really, Ittetsu pulled an impressive move there.
"So you've caught up, beast!"
"Huh?
Pondering it alone only creates more questions without answers.
To say nothing of him ever actually finding you here.
Because there had been no enemies here so far, I was finally able to feel a sense of relief.
"...Ah-ha-ha, I'd never spoil a surprise Kasumi told me to keep secret!
Sebas and the guardians' expressions instantly stiffened as well.
The nature of the impact from behind was actually quite simple.
I'll make it really sound like a little kid."
Just get rid of the boy!
He spent three or four days there teaching her music and so on, and excusing himself elsewhere on the grounds of seclusion.
Finally, Naoto switched the voice line again, this time to the last member of the team.
"Heh.
Something... anything.
Then my wish came true.
Sora didn't know what that meant.
"Be careful up ahead.
Acieth Alla?"
If so led by their shepherd, a flock of sheep would not stop even at the edge of a cliff.
I'll have to crush them with all of my might.
It was a question he couldn't avoid.
My body was brimming with energy.
It didn't appear as though the impact was going to split the moon apart, but its orbit would surely be thrown even more off-balance.
Her neat high elf face betrayed her overexertion.
If Kudou's speech had been insincere, Tatsuya might have disagreed with him, too.
Motoyasu spoke up, but kept his eyes on Filo in her bird form.
Because of that, her body felt a little languid.
She was worried about him – perhaps it was better that way.
Instead, she hit something solid.
This self-awareness put him in a considerably sour mood.
I'm ready now."
These kids all have families back home who must be worried sick!
"Shinichi-sama?"
Then, I'll bring Ichika."
It was somehow odd that her curled lip was not baring a sharp fang.
That's all we get for a summer in our village.
"Shall we head for the palace today?"
The rest had to be proven with the answer Emilia arrived at—not through words but actions.
Unless..."
"You're the one who keeps causing problems!"
What rotten luck!"
So we stuck around to find out about what's been going on inside Miach Familia.
But reality was less accommodating.
In the end, it was Francesco who spoke, his eyes closed: "I am sorry, Duchess of Milan."
Even Felicia, who had been Sigrún's friend since their earliest years, had never seen her look this adorable.
I wasn't about to strap on a rifle and join in the battles myself.
That had to be avoided above all, even if it meant accepting ten thousand deaths.
Great ssstrength hasssn't tempered their weak mindsss.
We're the Imperial Army.
Doubts keep summoning more doubts, making everything seem dubious.
Fifty units...
Just how long should that 'sleep juice' in your blood keep working?"
I was probably the first person to ever read this text.
She chuckled, picked up a bean that had fallen, and ate it.
As Sir Benimaru and Lady Shuna stated, all of us dropped the ball.
The girl begins to caress Mogi's hands.
By extracting an animal's information bodies at the moment of its death, making it into a synthetic spirit, then embedding it into a young body of the same species, you create a familiar—an animal with magical abilities.
Llenn flailed and kicked, but there was nothing for her legs to do except attempt to knee and kick Pitohui's stomach—and it had absolutely no effect on the much stronger woman.
Here Jacob, have a taste!"
Running down the tiered audience seats, she made her way to a circular opening.
"No, I... do not.
The thought was like an explosion of light in the warrior's mind.
Holo grinned and flashed her teeth.
I was able to bulldoze my way through with Ren's group.
Wyndia was surprised too, rider and steed both with shocked looks on their faces.
"Of course not.
"Still, I want my rematch," I continued.
It would be no exaggeration to suggest he might lose an arm-wrestling match to Teletha Testarossa or Tokiwa Kyoko.
It's no different from the oceans on Earth.
Thud.
Unlike anti-air or anti-surface missiles, these missiles left long trails of smoke as they headed high up into the sky.
He was a brawny fellow.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and resolved to defeat the Demon King.
There's a medicinal herb garden as well, so maybe that's a bit unique."
Her words were stern, yet composed.
Rath's true goal, their blasphemous attempt at playing God, was to create true AI—actual human intelligence.
Two of them were the normal kind you'd often see in stores, but the last one was slightly different.
"That's pretty much the center of anti-demi-human racism, ain't it?
But she's an attendant, isn't she?"
That said, Moroboshi showed greater capacity to adapt to the situation.
Some ominous switch had definitely been flipped.
Isn't magic wonderful?
Aldebaran is an immortal Gastrea.
the housekeeper admitted, jumping in to defend Matthew.
You eliminated the dangerous Beast and protected the islands.
Bwoosh!
"Yeah, I know.
His voice was so weak and sad.
Those who had money gained more of it; those who had items got more of them.
Both the city's garrison and its religious orders were happy to cooperate with us.
The guide led Hestia to the front of the altar.
"If we go with the raincoat," she said pointedly, "I'm definitely putting a bug in the code."
In a sense, he had turned to sex to forget his problems because alcohol did not allow him to.
Once again, she heard someone singing.
I thought he was a harmless spirit who had just fallen into an endless replay of his memories of the accident, but..." the radio said, a nervous air in his voice.
I see.
A magical sorceress keeping the streets safe at night?
I need a break.
But as you know, Lemwraith is not under our jurisdiction."
Dr. Glenn isn't the type of person to run away.
But as the conversation moved towards whether this was actually going to happen or not, and Suimei let out a perturbed sigh.
Judging from how she'd received this invitation, this mysterious character had sought an opportunity to speak with her specifically.
Haruyuki asked nonchalantly.
Tama-chan looked up at me uncertainly.
What would happen to her now?
This was the strength of Yunfa's class.
And there she is: Maria.
If the outcome couldn't possibly change from what he'd seen before, then there would be no reason to read it again.
Fleur's face was downcast, and she stole a glance at him with upturned eyes, like a student seeking her tutor's approval.
The school also had a positive reputation amongst the culinary scenes of Orstoll — its graduating students did not have difficulty finding work.
Takahisa yelled as though he was seeking some kind of salvation.
I was vexed.
"He's a Fire Dragon Hunter."
"Yeah.
Although I would be happy if she stayed with me forever, I didn't want to make her feel lonely from losing her family and everyone she's known all of a sudden.
asked number two.
Well, it's not that I didn't find any books.
I found myself in an upscale bar off of school grounds, dragged from the student dorm along with the other first-years by a bunch of upperclassmen.
I thought then that I might go outside.
The fact that the words "pretty girl" was enough to make everyone look up from their work was a clear indication of how badly many of them were shunned by women.
I didn't know what we would've done if we'd been forced back onto the boat.
"Starting now, we have fifteen minutes to find a way to travel from the unified spirit world to where Deathmagla is and save Mash.
"I-I and smiles boldly.
Do you want someone to understand you?"
"I did include her in my report, you know.
He's no civilian!
They all live in those swamps, yeah?
Some people even referred to them as the Six Heroes, or simply the All-Stars...
Whatever one called them, they were not legends, but true heroes who had appeared in actual history.
Despite knowing that I'm not providing enough for her, I absolutely can't back down now.
Ahaha, I forgot what this was like.
the crowd shrieked.
I am aware that you lead a busy life, but truly hope you will be able to attend.
Lloyd was just smiling at him.
Well, hey, if it isn't my old man," Kuu said to the snow monkey.
Touka-chan was putting up a composed front reading a sutra that she had taken out from her chest pocket, but Shouta-kun totally had a "uh-oh, I'm in trouble!"
They all surely hated this man, who had driven the Empire into crisis.
The one who trotted up to them was, as Miyuki had named, the youngest son of the Kudou family they'd met two weeks ago: Minoru Kudou.
They each fight for territory.
Rock, Rock..."
He used the same magic to create a short spike out of the dirt, then Break Rock to shape the tip of it into that of an animal fang.
Katchan dashed his hopes by replying first.
"Surely you must have a homeland, do you not?"
If he was sincerely cursing Haruyuki out for being a friend to the Acceleration Research Society, that meant the two Green Legion avatars were not members of the Society.
However, she is also the great prize sought by the most ambitious young men of the court, and she has the one thing that Murasaki lacks: the rank that would allow her to be a wife even for an Honorary Retired Emperor.
Who was that?
As a member of the festival committee, Marlene had a variety of jobs.
The audience could still vividly remember the string of roaring blasts in that bombardment battle—as well as the role Sophie played in it.
Their speed was about the same as a normal cannonball.
The cloak was heavy, since it was already soaked with rain.
Sand Whale, Green Behemoth, or Legend Dragon?"
I think it was just because she didn't have the energy to deny it, not because she'd decided to be open with me.
You are where you are because of your own hard work!
Her green eyes were shining as she planned to make tons of flowers and earn a lot of money.
Whenever the lady came to have tea here, a full entourage of ten female servants would appear bearing teapots, teacups, and cakes.
This time was no different.
It's tough, being alone in this world..."
She looked ready to cry for real.
Marie ground her teeth.
You're a man worthy of fighting with all my strength as a swordswoman.
That one attack would have felled a normal fighter.
"I couldn't believe it, but looking at the two of them, I get it now.
I couldn't sense her presence in the slightest.
Felt a little... tame, I guess?
Together, they were something like the salad and the appetizer.
"Good idea," replied Jiro.
The hostages weren't as calm as she was, however; the intense gunfire had made them all panic.
He knows me well."
Trünicht was unapologetically vigorous, healthy of complexion, and overflowing with the ambition and potential of a political animal in his prime.
I was pretty sure they stored medicine in glass bottles, so they probably had glass.
I do think you should speak more casually, but—"
"Kojou..."
An expression without any definable form came over Shizuri's face.
Naotsugu whispered.
"DESPAIR!"
The lightness made it easy to handle, but the power of a sword is directly correlated to its weight.
What could have possibly set her off...?
"I was kicked out of the party, so I'm living in the capital now.
By the way, I was in charge of series composition and scriptwriting on the anime Fairy Gone, which began airing in April 2019.
Amon set aside his work and went over to the window, looking down at the tree-lined street below.
Even though she had no strange powers, no physical strength, and no authority...
She spoke with such directness, such correctness, as if she were a blade of integrity speeding directly for its target.
"It's all up to the prosecutor now.
Aryes's hand was hidden by her sleeve.
Not good to ask nosy questions."
Demiurge didn't question it.
So that's how it was.
"A little strange?"
Before long though, he collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.

Shea?"
So even though it looks like she's fighting safely, she might be the most stressful to watch.

His heart ached.
This was his second time being here.
How goes the combat prep?"
In which case—
A hint regarding the contact method—what Victor and the others had wanted more than anything—had appeared right in front of them with exquisite timing.
"Yuki," Selena cautioned.
"I know I didn't have time to change clothes, but why are you in uniform, Corvus?"

I mean, what is their relationship?!"
Bell had seen a letter like this before.
"Was that really a memory of yours?

We were all starting to get hungry.
How did this happen?
Selphie said.
The white mountain range loomed overhead, as sheer as cliffs, with a yawning black cave mouth smack in the center.
–The first time I won it was because she let me.
Ignoring Arisa's dramatic reaction, I watched Aialize and Lua leave, their business here finished.
Then again, Turn Undead usually worked in one go.
The goal was to make sure at least one went down in the initial strike.
Once again, Yukinoshita immediately refused.

Lily sighed.
"...It's just, I don't know...
What do you mean?"

Even cutting her personal feelings out of the matter, as a court mage, there was no way she could stand for some mage running amok in the castle.
Lady Amelia, the courtyard is this way, right?"
That's the plan."
"Hee-hee... Tama, you're so soft and cuddly—it feels amazing."
I wasn't sure if I should be relieved that they weren't here to cause trouble, or worried since there was nobody to carry the gifts.
Ariane jumped in.
"Noir!"
"Then, how about these ones that I showed you before?"
The Star Forces in the capital were terribly short on manpower at the moment.
"It's just, we've always been struggling to just make it out of the next crisis alive so...
Despite all the suffering I had gone through today, all the pain signals my body transmitted into my brain before were gone.
He'd witnessed the existence of a group that fought for the people the church trampled upon.
As the dark magic demons employed included spells that could read a portion of their target's memories, all powerful people within the kingdom carried one around with them.
And as he made contact with it, almost all of the spells cast on Koutarou dispersed.
In other words, Tama-chan's current problem areas were different from the ones I'd dealt with in the past.
But I looked into it and to find her," said Fremy.
"It's good."
Once I've told her about my lord, my objective will be complete."

He'd been promoted from the Imperial assassins' unit.
"
If they were to get married as things stood, it was doubtful they'd enjoy fulfilling lives as newlyweds.
If I'm gonna get our revenge on Ikebukuro while I'm still leader...I at least gotta pay back my debt to Kadota first.
He's full of energy, the little guy... Full of energy?
Deadrim wanted to end the war.
Heat it up again!"
All that mattered for the majority of the citizens was that the villain of the conflict was brought to justice by their new queen, and that the fighting had come to an end.
Your mother is still very sleepy, so no English lessons, please..."

Once again, Yasuko flopped onto her pillow.
Every one of us will be waiting.
"Want some?"
No reason to make Ginaida suffer more than she already has."
"You're a moron for mistaking that as affection for you, Mashiro."
Let's just leave her be for a bit."
Atop the hastily assembled tables, they pulled from their boxes an array of sample products, which they set on top, along with a banner:
Crimson Vow Figures: 1 for 3 Silver, 4-Piece Set for 1 Gold
Displayed before them, the spectators saw miniature figures of Mile and company, just shy of twenty centimeters tall, just like the action figures one might see on Earth.
"Only the exchange of your life after this for being alive.
"I was just terrified I might oversleep if I stayed at the castle, so instead I couldn't get to sleep at all!
We have to do everything we can to keep Gabriel and Camael from spotting us.
It's the same whether you're clever or not.
He had been dozing away, but when he sensed Latina's presence, he headed over, his tail wagging all the while.
"Is it?"
Kuzaku was already standing up.
Please!
"I have a rough sketch here of the area around the village.
A dangerous blaze was growing behind her golden eyes as Bell finally shouted.
"Wha?
"Fufufu... You always have had quite the silver tongue."
"Wait...Such an amazing—I mean terrible—event happened while I was unconscious?!
He'd loved watching every moment as they readily stumbled into his trap.
"Yes."
Such was the mission that befell the one born as Dark Lord.
!...That crazy fightin' style of yours is gonna get ya killed one day!"
Sedam blinked.
| Steinbach, Kevin, translator.
Utterly disgusted, Taiga threw those words from her lips without a hint of restraint.
The reason why he fell asleep so easily was more than his exhaustion from the siege.
She had said that her healing magic worked after I'd passed out the first time, so I thought that maybe defensive magic might work as well.
Kyousuke pushed Renko down and straddled her, then struck back at what she had said.
He gave her a low bow, then strode off.
The moment I stood and began to turn, my field of vision swam wildly.
He knew that.
"Why don't you get some sleep?"
"O-of course, Miss Tiona!
It was hard to tell whether some of these were herbs or food.
Ten.
He was more than honored to be entwined in the arms of those two.
"Anyway, I just figured that you might be useful somehow —"
Before she could finish her sentence, a sound like an explosion filled the air.
"So..." Majic spoke up.
"I'll catch the next ooone?"
"Mrrrow."
The Replica leaped up and lunged for Sora.
"But that's exactly why─" Tsukihi inserted a pause.
As Oz's form grew smaller with distance, Break murmured quietly.
"Of course, my lady."
After all, a strange man who had an unsteady gait obviously due to being dead drunk was messing about with steak knives.
Why Merry?
"Yes, sir.
I'm sure you'd save me.
I asked.
Apparently 16x wasn't just for show.
"Mr. Lawrence," Sem finally said, turning to face him.
"But Father, what do you think of that technique Wataru's using?
Stop!
Levia looked through the memories she shared with Behemot and concluded that what she'd seen at some point definitely bore a resemblance to what Shu had done at the hero show.
Everybody in Tempest knows this, so there's no way he'd try puttin' his hands on a young girl like you, no."
It looked like something from one of those dusty old traditional Chinese landscape paintings.
"That's even worse..." Lazar gulped.
Seiya continues the conversation in spite of my astonishment.
Crying the whole way, I may add!"
A 9-dan Shogi veteran to a lowly Sub League member.
I had to come back alive.
"He's very weird.
"Be strong, Lucy.
"Huh?"
Rio took a deep breath and calmed himself down on the surface before continuing his line of questioning.
Nene, you're not getting any younger.
She was probably trying to look more mature, but her efforts unfortunately did nothing of the sort.
"I'm most certain that she'll see me as an enemy now."
Word came in from von Schönkopf, who'd gone out to patrol the city.
"What on earth...is that Nanami Yasuri thinking?"
I totally thought it was abandoned."
The Ocean Turtle was still anchored out at sea in the Izu Islands, and its future was uncertain, to say the least.
Their investigation isn't wholly sponsored by Doran's neighboring countries, however—all of the realms in the region have agreed to cooperate with the investigation and provide all necessary assistance to see their mission fulfilled.
The third floor of Aincrad.
Students weren't allowed to eat in here, so only a few people were around, guaranteeing that the return process would go smoothly.
It was the dull boom of something detonating underwater.
I'd almost forgotten about the rune stones we'd picked up some time ago as we made our way through the underground cavern.
He has already begun to carry out missions as a member."
Truly.
The ogre's standard response to such treatment would have been to tear the person limb from limb while still alive and then feast on his innards.
I suppose only the Class B students know if she's really excellent or not.
What?"
My uncle began to fiddle with his mustache again, visibly concerned at his pouting daughter.
Then, he looked down at her and smiled back.
Now her biggest source of emotional support was gone.
The meaning behind Kudou's words was still on my mind, just a little.
I was completely left out of this, gazing from a distance upon this friendship that you could mistake for something more.
"What is this?!
Vampires are frequently treated as villains nowadays, but when it comes down to it, they're not so different from humans."
"G-gh...!
They certainly wouldn't know how to use the shampoo, and it could hurt them if it got in their eyes, so I needed to explain every last detail.
"Neanderthal?
But I did reply.
It was well within the realm of possibility that within the letter, Holo would attempt reconciliation.
However, she had been entrusted with the task of protecting Norn.
The villagers' nervous gulps were almost audible.
But though he might have been one in the broader sense of the word, Deres Pine was not exactly human, either.
It was not a weapon made of perfect polygons, but a compact mass of metal molecules: sharp, cold, heavy, deadly.
"Four grown men against a woman?!"
You ended up in this mess because you lived the way others told you to and didn't think for yourself.
I am sure they will live up to your expectations in the upcoming battle."
But you...!"
"Their army is skilled and numerous.
Just as I was about to instruct Liza to destroy it, a black shadow cut in between us and the oil slime.
"Shh, shhh.
But despite that, she still overcame his dead-set resistance and chose the path of a manga artist.
I may even grant you a bonus depending on your performance!"
That story probably sounds normal enough, I suppose."
Misha was among the upset.
He spoke so plainly that Lawrence found himself staring at Philon, finding him quite a mystery.
Gently, the mother advised, "But this spell will only work on someone who is really special to you.
I made it.
That meant moving it was relatively simple.
I treasure every moment."
"D-did that just happen?!"
In that instant, Asuna received a revelation.
Actually, I had no memory of us solving one thing or anything, so of course it was easy to forget.
That guy didn't do anything, um, w-weird to you, right?
At the same time he landed, he made a 180-degree turn, the lower half of Kieli's body flailing, and braked by scraping his knee and shoe against the ground.
She had her reasons for doing so—she couldn't give up on winning the tournament.
You're thinking that conversation just means getting the other person's ideas and sympathizing or empathizing with them, but that's not the heart of it."
...That said.
I've just recently become an adult and my job is healer."
You need to increase your crafting level, too.
I was too lost in thought to notice Yumina trying to get my attention, so I hopped up from my throne.
First, I had my golem tramp over to a spot not far from the left flank of our forces.
Aki put her hand to her head.
Her feet were clad in the kind of boots you might see in a Wild West film.
He was right.
At least, none of the students or their parents said anything, I think.
Have you been in contact with him?
Obviously, I was unable to make a graceful landing.
"I went to another world and was living as something like a king" was a completely ridiculous story, and she had taken him seriously, listening to the whole thing and taking notes the whole time.
Looking up at the orange-painted sky, I could see birds flocking together as they flew off toward the forest.
I don't get what's goin' on here at all," said Goofy, his head tilted.
I silently thanked the man and raised my fist in solidarity.
Wow...
For now, I ordered him to continue monitoring the Clayman army, as well as search for a suitable area to deploy our own forces.
They leaped out into the party's way.
That is more or so the case, when the pilot is close to an unknown airbase at which the pilot cannot easily recognize the aerodynamics involving the winds to aviate the plane.
Of course, I will do what I can to support you."
Yutaka knit his brows, puzzled.
"And there is nothing we can do about it.
There was the hope of rebirth.
In the next room, illuminated by the redly burning hearth fire, Col struggled to change Huskins's outer layer of clothing.
"And so you leashed your craving, eh?"
Its muscular arms stretched out for Mika's upper half next.
Even if he pulls out one or two more, it doesn't matter.
However, in this real version of Elder Tales, Shiroe and Naotsugu did get sleepy, and bathrooms were definitely necessary.
He had pushed his as far as it could go, just like I had.
Manami wasn't sure whether she should pull out the ice pick yet and kept her hand on it.
Lingerin surveyed the group and cracked his neck.
Those look scrumptious!
Eve seemed quite familiar with him, so perhaps there was something in their shared past that led them to a mutual understanding.
Why do you think I'm doing this?"
I let them keep following their orders, walked away from them, and returned to Yumina.
So, witch lady.
"So?"
"So?
I don't think of them as insects, particularly, but Leeza has always had that tendency.
"Huh?"
The lilting strains of a waltz were still faintly audible.
I will be careful then."
"There were... You turned into a creature, and eyeballs were coming out of your face."
It had a singular aura, totally unlike a town workshop or trading company.
"Oh, just thinking about things a bit.
"So dreamy..."
Her cheeks immediately flushed with color.
"...I getcha.
Given that this was what passed for kindness from Holo, Lawrence had but one thing to say.
He wouldn't let go.
"Lloyd!"
Gruecith was no exception to that—the powerful barrier kept him efficiently penned in.
The object was put together like a parasol, the framework using iron girders from a building.
He said he wanted you to look not at the numerical representation of the magic you were using but directly at the phenomenon occurring before your very eyes.
"What I said earlier hasn't changed.
So she had been the unlucky one.
Based on the fact that Loek and Romilda had walked straight through the enemy's perimeter even after the knights had been taken out, I assumed a little movement wasn't going to be a problem.
Rain and Air would have simply ignored the question despite their doubts.
In an instant, four giant orbs of fire shot out from the hands of the creature that had once been Feuer.
Baltze asked with a worried expression.
It was well known that Naden was a unique individual who had no wings.
"Hmm... Never mind.
"Haruhi Suzumiya.
Laus had always thought that the demons saw the demon lord as their god.
Honestly, I think those methods of expression should be a part of education.
"Looks... like it worked," she said, trying to get a glance at the sky.
"Where should I start...?
Waking it up carelessly might make it sleep even longer, but if you leave it alone it'll wake up on its own eventually."
She found her own excuses pathetic as she held her cup and cried.
"And I have to ask... are you with Mithril?"
In the first place, the reason the term "hero" came to be was because the person who once saved the nation from a truly vile demon lord and united the surrounding countries was just an ordinary person, not possessing the abilities one would expect of a great champion.
Eugeo and Kirito paused in shock as she smoothly assembled all the requisite words, until a warm light coalesced on Eugeo's wounded eye.
In front of the gate stood Nango and another uniformed police officer.
While the students who helped her into the outfit did raise some objections, "Um...
His flat was in an ancient, four-story building.
I thought I would be next to him, but he is actually quite far away."
Inaba Himeko slammed her keyboard and turned away from the laptop entirely.
"And it's been five years sincearted toward them at a downward slant, Daphne lured it as close as possible before pulling back.
The slang isn't very friendly, either.
"Don't worry about it!"
We jumped into this fight knowing they were tough!
There is absolutely no value in her coming back to study at Astraea.
The lawman immediately thought of something else.
We may have had a more lax start than yesterday, but we had still managed to sell 63 meals in total.
"Try to figure it out yourself first."
Minori decided it was too late for them to back out now, since, if people they'd saved once ended up being attacked in the woods a second time, it would leave a bad taste in their mouths.
No, there was no way.
"Kiichi!"
It makes sense that she'd want to torment and toy with such a woman, right?
Tie you up?
The man called Shylock was staring at the goggles Jacob wore around his neck.
"...and if we can get our hands on that, we could even build a new town."
Click.
Sorry Nagi, you're both coming.
One of the staff brought out her tea.
Wilhelm eliminated the last impure thing within him.
After all, whether we take the archbishop down decides whether this plan works or not.
Or so I thought, but eventually Clena tossed some water over my head.
He could hear footsteps approaching from behind, probably belonging to Rem, Rose, and Rafflesia.
She jumped lightly down from the wagon.
Here, catch!"
But the destruction wrought by Kiffa Ater did not end there.
But his tone was perfectly clear, and there was a seductively charming smile on his face that didn't seem to befit a young boy at all.
"Which is why, Kaori-san, Lily-san, we'll be going to teach that oversized lizard and its master a lesson."
It'd take a bit less time if we got some powerful new mages.
"What?"
"Oh, you don't know?"
"Well, there's what happened to Lord Zaratras, for one."
Bernhardt indicated their surroundings with one of his usual dramatic gestures.
The golem that had carried the protagonist around in the game I had played was much, much bigger.
Members of Soma Familia were completely under the spell of the Divine Wine, soma.
"Brilliant.
"
Her nest?
That was all.
They rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Yume suddenly slapped Haruhiro on the back.
"Fungh?!
"I think not getting enough sleep will be more likely to cause a problem..."
The incident with Team Hellion had taken up a large amount of her time, throwing her planned schedule into disarray, but there was nothing they could have done about that.
Future YoRHa combat androids to be manufactured with a primary emphasis on female models; despite improved attack strength, male models determined to exhibit poor organizational cohesiveness.
The rest of them stared at the intruders from the south.
I was a modern-day high school boy with a good head on his shoulders.
A moment later, she looked down, embarrassed she'd let herself get tongue-tied.
Mii — Miharu!
And now, we're both looking for Naminé.
Beautiful women are a country's most important treasure.
Since it was originally a general goods store, it was quite roomy compared to most stores of this type in this day and age.
"Krrrr!"
I knew it!
"To the Eleventh Company.
"To quietly... get caught?
Her mom, who had poked her head out from the front door, held a rustling package of frozen ramen in her hand.
Put more simply, by tolerating certain losses to a certain degree, we prevent the damage from spreading further."
"Call out the guild chief!"
Ranta called forth a dark miasma, and tried to engulf Takasagi in it.
"You make it sound so easy─but that sort of thing is deceptively13 complex─even once you stop averting or closing your eyes."
Alice seemed to have trouble getting her words out.
"Just stay where you are," I said, passing by them into the building.
"Well, setting that aside, this here is what I wanted you to see," Genia said, indicating something.
"You're a merchant who buys with coin, are you not?
Birds soared through the clear blue sky.
Some people who live there for a while start to get that attitude as well."
It would also give her a stronger backing in the financial world."
She then said, "But just like that, a male will gradually reveal his true colors, and eventually turn into someone you never would have expected."
"How about Mariage?"
Well, there's no helping it, I guess, not against opponents like that."
The only people on the streets we passed who showed any amount of cheer were those who seemed to be merchants who'd come from elsewhere-men who barely cared about their own lives so long as they were making profit, to say nothing of the lives of others.
"He's marrying my sister, right?"
"Wh-what was that, all of a sudden?!"
That last statement had gone right for his jugular.
So—"
Holo turned and surveyed the surroundings, then sighed there in the green-choked forest.
While the Order were nominally missionaries, their real purpose was to wage war against the erdgods.
He could see silhouettes that looked like orcs and undead here and there.
No cell phones.
She even considered waking her parents, who were asleep in the next room, and asking them to come along as well.
She purses her lips and turns her back on me.
Which one is she going to go for?"
So Tom operated in a kind of gray zone that was actually not that ambiguous in the least, much like the unsavory loopholes exploited by pachinko parlors to function as gambling dens.
Where are your manners?
Oh, no, no, no.
My feelings haven't changed a bit."
But looking over at my current partner, wondering how it would be for grown-up Irohasu, I saw her clenching her teeth in frustration over the failure of her ploy.
That hesitation would create a lingering vulnerability, and he'd probably lose again.
Even Ayato could tell this kind of meeting wasn't a normal occurrence.
It's Vanir.
He charged forward, deflecting the ice blades in the air with a stroke of his left sword before knocking down other blades.
And it was perfectly possible to charge that much by just letting the beams hit me and healing with consumables and my BR Armor.
"Emilia's intuition is half correct, half mistaken."
"I will put in the effort to find someone with a larger book collection than anyone in Ehrenfest.
"Because in every place and time, the last resort for solving a problem is to hit it as hard as you can.
how?"
"If the Killing Doll's on the other side, then I win and you lose.
Even as the blows rained down, Maori Niizono kept laughing.
With high-level adventurers like Aiz Wallenstein in her court, he had no reason not to suspect Loki Familia.
I don't really care about that stuff.
He did not know if the vigilantes might hear the ruckus and come.
������
As soon as Ikki left, Stella got bored.
And then, of course, there's a certain someone who's getting super carried away.
And yet, Ryoma chose to wipe them out.
I hear that a lot."
What, did you fall in love with me or something?!"
"Mio is the group's leader.
"What, do you want me to tell you it must be your conscience panging that makes you think so?"
One where nobody has to be afraid of devilfolk!"
Spoor opened her eyes, and rose.
"They're an island nation that imports foreign currency, so they're full of people who excel at buying all sorts of things."
No matter how spoiled I acted you were still kind to me.
The handle and other details were even made from Hei Long's scales.
"Alright, what do you really want?
His tone is calm and non-threatening.
I was still Shinobu's thrall and servant, but she existed in a reduced state as a vampire and as an aberration, neither able to live nor die without me.
"They are a race that believes in love with one mate for their entire lives, without Kisaki shut her eyes, taking in the joke, and placed her cup on the saucer.
"I bet."
"Calm down and take a closer look, Lady Mizuha.
Eventually, you'll see the answer.'"
21!
Toward D—and his supposedly broken left hand.
The difference in average physical prowess between men and women in Yggdrasil was a hard fact.
Masako stared at her, then sat down on the edge of the bed, gently touching Asami's cheek with her long, slender fingers.
The sprawling village of Lalatoya was surrounded by a massive wall.
The Pure-Dragon's Master prioritized the mount's survival and returned it back to the jewel.
"Healing Light."
The propellerlike motion of Emi's brain was frustrating her.
I'm gonna do my best."
"The kingdom's liveliest city...
In no time at all, I'd eaten an entire rabbit's worth of meat.
I didn't know exactly what she meant, but I had a guess.
Rom's voice had quickened in excitement, and he rubbed the tip of his chin as he looked down at Subaru.
Can ya spare some bones and cartilage?
I just felt that we hadn't talked much at all during this journey.
��
Why is Chastille here?
Though Holo could keep her hood lowered and hide her tail to look like a normal girl, there was no way they could allow Hilde to speak where people could see.
Nothing at all had improved with his situation.
Were they referring to her?
Alright!
Even in Inferno's hands, the handle would not scorch and the blade would not melt.
They would burn both their souls and their mana to exhaustion.
Everyone possesses many things.
Her body was emitting so much heat now that Oscar felt like he'd burn if he held onto her for too long.
I wondered.
Welanna and Miya promptly followed up with their own attacks.
I'm probably older than you, to be honest."
Why exactly was that jumping out at me?
What is a totos doing here at the forest's edge?"
"I assigned you to a commercial hub city so you could have more freedom of movement.
So, you're the Rekka I've heard so much about?"
"...Hey, what're the people from Nordlicht doing here?"
I laughed bitterly of his enemies have faded away, he gives his sword a clean swing and returns it to its sheathe.
Goodbye..."
"No, wait.
Don't let a single one of those black-suited bastards reach the central district!
What do they call you?"
I'm already complete enough.
After all..."
"She's rather sensitive to people bad-mouthing her, yes."
The god of alcohol's face was almost entirely red, and she was laughing like an idiot.
A blue rat, which had somehow snuck inside, then peered out from the eye socket.
He'd held back quite a bit, but it was still enough to make all of them scream in pain.
Teeming with life.
Would her attack hit first?
Actually, if you were into lolicon, that would make Rosalind happy, wouldn't it?"
"Probably around when I met you."
Despite being in our home territory, Kansai's 3-dan players are so restless and on edge that it's as if we have never played here before.
"I've got more stamina than a normal person; I just can't swim."
"It's creepy when you act like that," Haruhiro muttered.
It may have been just for attendance's sake, but he still didn't take any shortcuts, even when there was unexpected trouble.
In order to shake that feeling, he slammed his clenched fists against the steel door.
"Personally, I'm glad the coffee has gotten tastier, but I'd really prefer if command could supply us with what we need to make it through the winter..."
It's fine that they value the effect luxury goods have on frontline morale.
We must meet whatever comes down the river, whatever happens.
That was no doubt why she had been able to respond so quickly.
She had to ask how he had been last night and how much goat milk he had drunk so that she could predict and prepare for the next time he was hungry.
According to the mystic's explanation, once the ritual began, the door would open, and she would connect to the consciousness of the daemon.
When she turned to look at Pauline, however, she saw her friend was crestfallen.
Frozen in place with my knees half-bent, I looked up to find Adachi standing there.
It is by chance that you receive god of land as your guardian.
"The spellcaster exhausted her magic!
But he could understand Lenos's efforts to try to collect as much tax as they could, and the fact was that foreign merchants who bought only raw furs instead of clothing left many town craftsmen by the wayside.
What was so fun about world domination?
3
Why?
If this doesn't wake you up, then that's that.
"Yes, to a town called Lenos."
No one said anything decisive, of course.
Neat."
His Excellency went to Genji's room after seeing him off.
That's when it happened.
"Oh my!"
"It can't be...
I don't want to be hated by my brother-in-law or my little sister."
The agony brought by death.
It was no act.
"This is all just too..."
"Oh!"
"Nadeko Sengoku is stupid."
The flour I'd used was for making bread, so the pasta was squishier than it normally should be, but it was still good, and the acidity of the tomato was a perfect match for the spiciness of the chili pepper.
"...Urk!"
I didn't know if her house had extra sleeping supplies, but in the worst-case scenario, it was warm enough that I could probably sleep without one.
That's our best sellin' item, the 'Special Pudding a la Mode.'
But today, for whatever reason, Miyuki wasn't giving him any help here.
The area wasn't open.
"Heavily stacked against me?
They looked on, stunned at Mariette's behavior.
We'll stop by Rhad's manor first and depart from there."
The next moment, though, he broke into a big smile.
How can you account for it?"
"Huh?
They seemed to mean the same thing...
We talked as we gauged chunks from each other's body.
"I just... don't like it," Veronika half-sighed, but she didn't pursue the matter.
Especially for an outcast like me."
Arno took the divine instrument from the High Priest while Fran made sure I was okay.
��Roger.��
His screen displayed a zoom-in of the building in question.
Taking deep breaths, Glenn mentally reviewed the surgical plan and his role in the operation.
Shrugging her shoulders at the silent D, Stanza slipped into the hole.
Touya was genius-levels of proficient in every type of elemental magic, and even had the White Monarch bound to him as a familiar.
That's going to be somewhat of a hurdle."
With those hostile parting words, she hung up.
Sakura hummed along as I sang.
There wasn't a single trace of it in the way she spoke now.
"They're trying to destroy the place!"
Are you already aware of the former clan head Zattsu Suun's passing?"
"I don't have any small change right now, so... don't spend it all in once place."
"Yeah, no.
And since this was her duty, she couldn't attend the Academy all that often.
As long as it does not go too far away, I never lose them.
Listen, don't you get bored just being stuck in here with nothing to do?
"I do.
That simple, silent exchange was enough for the couple to agree on a course of action.
"If that's what you really want.
He couldn't answer a question like that.
Was I imagining things?
Her mettle and posture pass with flying colors.
I don't mind that, but it was a mistake not to kill them for you guys."
One score, and you've already made it big.
"Can we take our time tonight?
If the original report was correct, there were still around twenty left.
"Mr. Naofumi, you don't need be so particular."
When it became clear that no savior would be descending from the ceiling, she let out a woeful sigh and got up to go.
In the other direction, the road continued for around three kilometers, stopping at a massive castle that had a large cylindrical tower reaching up to the heavens.
A pair of parapodia sticking out of every segment on her body.
He made it to the glassless window and didn't hesitate before jumping.
"Both of them are hunters, so they end up away from the village to head into the forest often.
"So, you had something to ask me?"
Just as she says, the Demon Lord's expression is clear and resolute.
When he first showed them his magic, he watched the doubt on their faces make way for wide-eyed amazement.

A guide is necessary so that my foolish, immature self MAY properly repay Her favor!
And so Shimamura readily agreed, putting me at ease with her words...her attitude...her kindness...
"Now stop worrying and go to sleep."
Pfft.
It built character and prepared younger players for the stresses that came with living in the Shogi world and they were stronger for it.
The girl's muffled cries were audible even in Tockerbrot's oven room.
Japan?
Don't you ever get so anxious you don't know what to do?
"Fallen?
He guessed that the white walls of the buildings contained crushed quartz, because they sparkled in the sunlight.
She smiled, amused.
These deeds... Aren't they stains on Sunkland's good name?
The hundred Lasers I'd fired were scattered by the Condense spell, increasing their number.
He had to be at least a little prepared for that.
I've never been out with a boy other than you!
But then I had an idea.
It's okay now.
"...Hah!"
I thought he was a good guy, but his perspective was so different from ours that he wasn't suited to looking for the culprit.
What if I take you back to Orta and subject you to my training?
The curt ridicule Tatsuya blasted him with, though, cut any further self-torturing words from leaving his lips.
While he wouldn't be sharing a bed with Miledi, sleeping next to her when they weren't camping out was a bit improper.
"W-wouldn't dream of it, chief!"
I'd be starting a part-time job soon, and this would be a big training opportunity...
My fingers tightened around the phone.
"Show me, then.
And in the midst of their frank exchange, she spoke up like she suddenly remembered something.
"I'm absorbing this guild into the Nation of Darkness."
The sharp pain buried deep in his shoulder and thrust into his brain, making his head feel like it was about to burst.
"One, two, three, four!"
The stairs out front fanned out to greet variegated beds of plants.
Not that the problem was his to worry about.
Mio versus Ayano and Ai versus Charlette plus me.
Suddenly, that was the murmur that arose in the back of his mind.
The moment she lost sight of me, I leaped into the air.
She smiled with an affection I had never seen from her before and came down the stairs into the room.
I was only joking.
Since he knew the steward there, he sent word that he wished to stay a day or two.
If she fought the whole time in the Territories, 1.8 seconds passed in the real world, so the lungs that exhaled with the Burst Link command would be taking in their next breath around the time she woke up.
If someone had told me to jump up and down on the spot, it wouldn't have even made a clinking sound.
"I don't know."
So she pretended to ask for our opinions while deciding everything herself—well, nothing new about that.
"Let me just say this: Immortal or not, the fact that I am alive is the same.
Puff.
In that case—I breathed in deeply and pressed my feet firmly into the ground—what about magic?!
"
"So we weren't aware of it last night, but if you really did beat the class rep... Nah, just the fact that rumor has started spreading around is enough, you gotta be careful."
Every member in the Guild's got a day job."
Sigh...
A man sits down next to her.
Kyouhei reflexively shifted, ready.
The fact that it was Nazuna dawned on me anew.
"You can't honestly expect me to be prepared to take a lariat like that on the street."
I just don't know if the fish down here are edible."
"... Wax, glass bottles, books... buckles?
There was a slithering sound, something sliding across the ground.
His squad was currently protecting a number of villagers as they made the desperate flight to Verbergen.
"It really is better with a man," she gasped, her back arching.
"Yes, Sir!"
That was my voice.
She'd found a place holding a Bon Dance festival.
It was the one strange hint of reality in an otherwise fantastical moment.
Witch accused.
The words "to the west" worried me somewhat, as someone whose production area was located in the western region of the Kingdom, but there was no point in taking to keep it from slashing him in two.
Considering how flustered he'd been with her in space, she never thought him a particularly dependable individual.
Even if he'd once been better at it, relying on his devils had made him rusty.
So let's take stock: Sora and Shiro had three win conditions.
The young lady gazed out over the unforgiving terrain ahead.
Surely they wouldn't notice if I helped myself to a furnishing as a souvenir, she thought, but then she shook her head.
He wasn't just saying that to set her mind at ease.
Toudou looks back at Limis, who had been watching over the entire battle with her staff at the ready.
...What if I could get her to act this way all the time...?
I ran over to stand before the wizards and I readied my shield.
I still felt a little forlorn about that, even now.
"Well, that's how it goes.
Well, no use thinking about that now.
After the man had exited into the next car, one of Ladd's men spoke, an expression of relief on his face:
"What the hell was that, huh?"
"Oh, erm, yes."
Keith, Larna, and Maria appeared one after the other through the curtains.
She doesn't actually want to serve him for dinner.
In the sixth moon.
"Anyhow... Princess Hildegard, and uh, former king... shall we be off?"
It can't be!
With this, the surrounding crowd dispersed and the guild hall returned to how it had been before.
How would he answer it now?
But she couldn't manage it.
He then swung it back up, slicing right through the wolf's stomach.
"This might be unfair of me, telling you this before we talk about it..."
"Chiho?"
"'Sup, I'm Wise.
When he did go home, he stayed elsewhere in the house and summoned only his children.
It would just cause a panic."
The three-hundred-year countdown would be over at last.
Actually, something else was bugging her, too.
Now here we are today, where everyone plays yagura that way."
Lettie held back a snicker.
Lithisia had thought of something crazy.
In all the world, there is nothing more splendid than an unplucked flower.
Makes sense.
Hibiki and I both tensed up too.
"...Yep, you're the grand duke's sister alright."
Tetora didn't get it, and Naotsugu kept talking, as if he was trying to persuade her.
"Hm... Well, I am aware that I sometimes act strange."
Maybe he took Ladd's chains off.
Maybe he would learn something if he continued to get rid of them.
"I see you've finally recognized how wonderful I am, then.
"...Sain."
You're gonna pay for this!"
"Today they will be cleaning a child's bedroom.
"Within you I see a radiance most beautiful.
The question, though, is where—and I think I've got a pretty good idea."
And in spite of all of that, as if all of their advantages up until now had been nothing but a lie, the Wolf Clan had begun to be slowly, gradually, yet unmistakably pushed back.
"Grrr...!"
Kiriyama asked awkwardly.
Raul fended off the enemy with his longsword, gasping for air along with his comrade.
"We don't want to part ways, Captain... We just got everyone back together..."

"—"
"Can...I really...?"
It's Shinjo Kazuma, who writes the Kuro Densho series also for Fujimi Fantasia Bunko!
"That would be a problem, wouldn't it?
Not a seed?"
What's the matter?"
The truck was very battered and on the verge of breaking down, but today it was driving very obediently, almost as if someone had grabbed the engine by its collar and forced it to listen and behave.
The three of them had different reactions, but Hestia used her authority as a goddess to ignore them and said in a very satisfied voice:
"What's the problem?
"No, I hardly had anything to do with it.
And yet the combination of pork and marmett was a pairing that he could only experience at the Restaurant to Another World.
"Oh, really?
"Yes, thanks."
"Come on, go ' Gyuu'!
Crack—!!
"I-It is an intrusion, isn't it, Nadeko'll just head home."
Just before the great tiger leaped forth, Subaru shouted with all his spirit, and the world shouted back.
We'll take care of the rest ourselves."
And yet, in all my life, nothing had ever tasted as good as that fruit did in that moment.
Even if what you say is true, I can't afford to get them wrapped up in this."
But even if she'd become almost entirely human, there was no partner I'd rather have by my side.
His flames completely devour them.
"Most regrettably, two knights have passed away.
Filo, you join in on this too."
�� �� �� �� ��
When we entered the Adventurer's guild, I noticed that there weren't many people inside.
He'd said it was dark-type magic, but it could even do stuff like that?
Rakti aside, since she had been sealed and lost her powers."
Besides, it's hardly any of your business."
You wanna hear about our phenomenon?
I asked, shooting a meaningful glance his way.
Maybe because I read Yuri's diary."
Movies made it look easy, but in reality, it was anything but.
"Oh!"
"Gah...!
Which was why they'd need a diversion.
You were a big help."
How was something like this hidden in the suit in the first place?
I'll figure something out."
We can't let our guard down just yet...
Another messenger appeared at the door.
A demon lord?
If this could kill him, he'd be dead many times over by now."
"I tried.
They laughed together.
And she recognized his regret over that past in which he had suffered death, and theft and loss... and in which he also had stolen and become a killer.
Still...
No doubt, he'd been eaten alive.
"Now then, let's make some simple beef bowls."
"Will you people please shut up?!
Sure.
The first reported sighting of the Nightmare was in year 841 of the Kingdom Calendar in the Great Elroe Labyrinth.
That was when it happened.
When we came out of the other side, I could see a huge coliseum.
"Oh, uh, I can let go if it bothers you.
It began in the flatlands to the south of the castle.
"Yes!
But right now, Rem was agile enough to dodge a moving bullet.
In any event, she was his friend, and he hers.
"You can't just go and meet them without a retainer.
You guys are great!"
Myusel?
Or been forced into one yourself?"
"Won't you get expelled for removing your seal for personal gain?"
What had lain this egg?
If it's payment you want, help yourself to any materials from the warehouse."
"..."
But Kyouka didn't reply to his taunts, and Akutagawa smirked at her expressionless face.
Julis had once said that she wasn't well-matched against Seidoukan Academy's seventh-ranked fighter, the user of the school-owned Orga Lux Longshanks.
She sang her own praises as a legend and the strongest, so she must have conferred that valuation on me as well.
Noitan vanishes from the monitor, replaced by the names of the six players, along with our pictures.
Even more strangely, some of that red raced back toward the sky, traveling up the white wall at breakneck speed—but unfortunately, not a soul noticed.
"There's someone in Gate Town who was in contact with him.
And so I decided to get into the bath.
Um, it's okay for me to think of you as the remake version's support character, right?
I'm definitely gonna butcher the lot of 'em."
"You're every bit as gluttonous as Mida, though!
That was Hugues's long experience as an art seller coming into play.
You should run!"
Does any of this jog your memory?
Soon, the light from the Gate was gone, and silence returned to the azure land.
As thick as the walls of social standing may be, no one would waste the lives of their men so recklessly.
You weren't saying anything, so I was a little worried."
Itsuki asked.
The rainbow hair like billowing flames...
"Whew!"
The conversation moved so smoothly it was almost a letdown, and Lawrence had to attribute this to Holo's agile mind.
You did it, didn't you?"
"I'm sure you're aware, but the Knight Order will be here any minute now.
"That's quite enough, you two.
Me?
I had to train."
A man walked through the deserted streets, heat mirages swaying to and fro.
As you can see, we're down on our knees."
If you let me live, I'm sure he'd pay a lot of money to have me back...!"
We can't.
Good night!
It was not Yukinari, but Dasa who rebuffed Berta's attempt to be helpful.
You agreed to be my workhorse until we reach Class A, so you have to do as I command."
Kirschwasser and Yozakura were, in this moment, the only ones inside that enormous jungle.
I haven't the time to fool around with children."
It didn't really roll off the tongue.
You'll find yourself humming it unconsciously.
...This is freaking me out here!
"It sounds very much like someone I had been wondering about," he replied guardedly.
I thought back, and that sounded right, although her eerie aura was so off-putting that I hadn't really noticed her looks.
Of course, history won't wait that long for them."
Can you hear me?!"
"Hmm?"
As his title "God of the Masses" showed, the people of Gekai were rather fond of Ganesha.
"Go to hell!"
In terms of morale, the defending side was under greater stress compared to the attackers, as the latter had the clear advantage.
"If all goes well when we begin to ask around, how shall we fill our remaining time?"
But now... it almost felt comforting.
"Leki!"
"S-Shizuku!?"
<Private Mode> CallowCadet: There's been some stuff recently, and now all I can do is stare at my computer.
Now, who else..." Renji looked around the office, stopping on Manato.
"If it were that simple, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of hiring you."
So she was sure the King of Darkness could as well.
Still, she made it.
If it's in that area, then...
Please, I'll make you say!
Are you stupid?
It was important for us to save a lot of money, I say.
It wasn't like he didn't understand the feeling of being completely denied.
I didn't get it.
It just makes me want to hug you so badly.
The Evil Eye of the Fallen.
"...Why do you want to do that?"
I shook my head and pointed to a couple of Ripper Swarms.
To his chagrin, the flow of blood increased.
Others might have been intimidated by the ent's mighty arms, but Hayden ran right under them and stabbed the trunk with his broadsword.
Even the ability to use magic was almost too much responsibility for a person to have.
����������
The hallways beyond the hidden doorway didn't differ much from the typical scenery of the Moon's Reflection.
"How about you sit over here and eat it?"
"Wh-Whoa, Fuuka-chan, are you all right?!
The sunlight was blocked out, and the world around us darkened.
Goblin Slayer.
Hoveren.
But it was not solely because of this that Linel said to the silent superior officer, "Um, Miss Sheyta?"
While Reggie seemed his usual self as far as appearances went, Alan could tell that he was growing more unbalanced with each passing day.
Bright's orders and followed the semi-standardized protocol on how to terminate amiable relationships with the little guys.
However, rights of exclusive possession are only valid for a period of eight hours after being invoked, after which they are automatically revoked.
I don't remember you ever being noble, Lowa!)
"Ha-ha!
Then he took his leave amid many sighs, for he knew that he could not stay on as he pleased into the night.
And here ya were actin' all sad since you came back from the Dungeon!
The man wore a mantle wrapped around his shoulders, and from his clothes, a single look made it obvious he was a boatman.
"Four, huh?"
The only thing that came to mind was that time I beat the crap out of Paul before her eyes.
Nishka, blunt and easygoing as she was, and hungry Elpaco were the only ones to pick up the strange two-pronged forks of this world.
Based on what he just said, it sounds like the staff of the mansion doesn't think super-highly of my activities, but what really seems to bother Hooligan here is that his brother has given us permission to do whatever we want.
"Ka?"
I merely had an urge to drink fresh blood every now and then.
But then, I realized what I was thinking and chuckled bitterly.
If Koutarou had truly accepted her, then going all out was only courtesy.
"You mean Forgan..."
"Ohh," Yume said.
And only three of them remained.
It's the sorrel.
"Well, we started at the beginning and went from there.
The head fell on its side and started spinning around in a circle.
"Yeah.
Now, some crimes were so grave that they got players on the wanted lists of all the seven countries at once, banning them from all the save points everywhere.
Well, well!
Rook had used Liz's ability to create a number of artificial eyes on his arms before using the skill through them.
After that, they quickly shooed me out of Tarentule, explaining that they had to start readying themselves for work.
"Ah!"
Ryucco gave me a dubious look.
"Oh?"
"And I'm intrigued.
As far as their roles were concerned, it wasn't a problem if Michitaka objected.
"Nah.
asked Shinichi.
Dale made it look almost easy as he dealt with those around him, trying to act dignified enough to not shame the name of the Platinum Hero or let down the soldiers' excessive expectations.
"I—I want to come see the fireworks," she said, unusually flustered.
All around Cow Girl, excited elf girls waited eagerly.
The biggest difference from those inns was the walls had been knocked down between smaller rooms to make more space and the kitchen and dining area were accessible on the first floor.
Itachi was betting on that moment.
Why not indeed.
"I cannot believe it... Leave it to me.
"Was the exclusive use of beheading strikes part of that as well?"
In addition, the Hosso sect itself shared something in common with modern magic—an emphasis on the employment of the unconscious region of the brain.
It made me feel like we'd just gotten back from an overseas trip.
I tried a different approach.
Flum lunged toward Dein, though someone stepped in his way before she could reach him.
Munechika sneered.
That is Avīci.
Being left behind, Koutarou sat there looking confused.
"Well, thank heaven for that.
Glenn couldn't see from where he was standing, but her voice made it sound like she was crying as she spoke.
There was panic in Celsior's voice.
Only pigs, I say!
How many were there?!"
That's when Grinahae realized something.
They never touched the girl.
The enemy had announced they were forfeiting at 2:00 AM and bitterly handed over control of the entire region.
I am what you would call an alien."
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!
"I-I'm fine!"
Moreover, the research on magic eyes had a higher priority than the research he was doing now.
Bathed in the invisible attack, the demon dog cried out very much like a puppy as it tumbled heavily.
The worst of them had been the victims of Pauline's scalding attacks, so now, having their gear removed and wounds treated by the same girl was all the more heart-stopping.
Didn't you, Shou?"
And then the phone in front of her lit up and began to ring.
"Nah.
They didn't want to let the blacksmiths from Melromarc make their weapons.
Her eyes filled with worry and unease, she spoke eloquently and in a single breath.
"Sorry~"
The girls apologized, now aware of their mistake.
"A big catch!
"The stated goal is to 'Win the Babel Roulette'...
Please, come inside."
And she was right—nothing was too risky so far.
"I...get that."
She dropped the stack on my desk and grabbed a chair.
And... he couldn't make a living there.
Considering it was double-edged, he wasn't going to be hitting me with the blunt side.
Wait.
For Himari's sake."
We can't afford to leave them out.
The soldiers stationed in one of them glanced off into the blizzard as they shivered from the bone-chilling cold.
But to Neia, it was like having billions of allies.
"I've lived as a commoner so far, so I'm honestly not all that sure how to handle ruling over a territory..."
"I see...
Hearing the sage words of the centuries-old wisewolf, Lawrence made a suspicious expression, as though he were the subject of a shady sales pitch.
The promised map had yet to be drawn, but as soon as Fran regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she had summoned Lawrence to her room to discuss the matter.
"Anyway, can we set the matter of the Boxes aside for now?
Even if aspects of him remain, he's a different person.
"All that remains is to see if Elsa will accept this trick.
Even now, this feeling hasn't changed.
It's like she's a reincarnation of the man."
...Phys ed?
Had she been able to use her voice, she would have screamed something between a shriek and a war cry as she fired over and over.
It's very human."
Not that it ever bothered me.
—!
"I understand about your profession, but why is Beelzebub hunting an apothecary?"
That had been about one hour ago.
"Hm...
He had pretty much figured out what they were discussing, but it was so awkward, he decided to feign ignorance.
Was it always this dirty?
Eve's scandalous comment had taken me by surprise, and I slowly turned around... to find Mariabelle standing there with her face red to the tips of her ears, her mouth flapping wordlessly.
Mine's almost better, but maybe he caught it from me."
What a truly moving scene— Er, well, they were the only ones who thought that.
Skáviðr stared up at Yuuto, his eyes widened ever so slightly.
Ed smiled fondly at me as he spoke.
First, no matter what happened, he couldn't run away.
Although her eyes remained on him, Manganese's target was not Haruyuki in front of her, but somewhere directly behind her.
Though Queen Minnie had worked hard to direct the event, the two of them were too upset to take part for the moment.
For instance, if I said, 'Showing excessive skin is prohibited,' you wouldn't be able to do anything!"
Beigoma is a game where both players spin a top on a playing field like this and try to knock the other player's top out.
"Haaah... Phew..."
Llenn slung the P90 over her back and clapped her hands together remorsefully.
Rotation!"
As time passed, Kaori developed a natural interest in them herself, so she became well versed in the culture.
Haruyuki asked, impatient.
"Okay, I will," I said.
"I never thought you were lying!
It shattered his collarbone, pushing through the red armor to dig deep into his chest.
Travelers sometimes had to leave behind belongings and opportunities and even friends or injured people they encountered by the roadside.
Want some?
How ingenious."
"But it's too late to start cooking now.
Kirito demanded.
"Listen, I know you'd never tell me to my face that I'm easy to manipulate," he said, "but you still shut down all my ideas, sometimes.
Not a normal dress, though; we're trying to capitalize on your seduction skills here."
It was as though he had been eliminated by Divine Providence itself!
Rain echoed.
"A surprising number of people have sided with Academy City.
"Then I'll go right ahead."
"Alcohol and soft drinks aren't included, though.
The measurement on the monocular indicated they were 503 meters away, which would put them at about 300 meters from the machine gunners, an easy distance for a skilled sniper to pick off a target.
The name sounded familiar to me, so I consulted my memories of the real world—in danger of being entirely overwritten by that of this fantasy realm—and asked, "Erm, are you talking about...the bridge in that, er...famous Tokyo theme park...?"
I was hoping you could look at my report, Holmes.
Th-this little... What incredible cat power...!!
Furthermore, the continuance of the royal family is deeply related to maintaining the Covenant.
I felt great satisfaction in the idea, but Lala Ruu was shooting me an incredibly bored look.
Macaron retired, too.
"Just a fingertip."
After that, I still had some gyoza left, I think...... yep.
Thanks."
Lawrence had played his trump card – and in the best possible moment, under the best possible circumstances.
The event kicked off with the announcer explaining how things were going to go down.
"You can do that!?"
An underage aerial mage ignoring her duty and smoking?
"You think...I'll believe that?"
In her."
"The pierced wolf, his eyes say he ain't dead.
Ha-ha-ha!
The path ahead curved to the right, putting Evan's mill out of sight.
"Well, no matter.
I could imagine that when the weather got warmer, those shrubs would grow taller, making it a lot more difficult to see across.
"Uhm..."
"I mean, you've got something to do with that, right?
Just three days after he'd almost died, he was anticipating a future encounter with the Dragon God and practicing new magic to prepare for it.
I look forward to seeing him develop," the Goddess said with surprise and admiration.
It made the floorboards underneath them shake.
"I went to check if you had cleaned up after yourself and found all the dirt in a wide area completely upended, with some of the stone pavement slightly out of place."
And the most terrifying part of all: They meant her no harm.
Allan cried, far more confident now.
If he only fired twice, that showed that it was all he needed.
For example, if one was injured, the other would feel that pain even if she was uninjured.
Nashetania took advantage of the pause to put some more distance between them, and Fremy dashed after her.
What're you doing here?"
I was grateful for his somewhat pushy side at times like these.
She had been aware for some weeks of not  being well but she had contented herself with the usual penances and retreats.
"!!"
I wasn't particularly used to bathing with other people, either, but I had during school trips in primary school and had gone to the super bathhouse during my life on the run.
Far in the distance, he heard a weak voice addressing the dead man.
Stop!
He said it was thanks for the meat you gave him earlier, Gunther.
"What's wrong?"
"Was it in that bad of shape?"
With Finn's commands to top it all off, even a demi-spirit would be on the verge of collapse.
It was why she had captured Fourier's attention so completely.
It seemed we cleared the first of our problems, at least.
Tons of people started coming by to ogle the bear house from afar.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
"At any rate, we've gotta get a room at a hotel, let the girly get some sleep, and procure a horse, eh?"
A mysterious burst of pride welled up within him, but he set that aside to glance over at Gina.
If a lateral strike could not be blocked or evaded, there was no other choice.
Gus's thoughts on battle tactics were very similar to Blood's teachings.
The angry voice screeched in his mind.
Pauline wailed, her skin burning from the stares of all they had passed by going both to and from the academy.
"At thy command.
"Thank you," High Elf Archer whispered, taking the bud-tipped branch and nocking it into her bow.
Kuyoh Suoh was far from harmless to the SOS Brigade.
"You certainly are talented, aren't you?
Sieg didn't anticipate she'd be able to go all the way to the Ahriman Springs on her own two feet.
We're all okay with that, right?"
If he wanted to take advantage of Col, how easy it would have been.
Because of that, even if it's the same line from the same character, it needs to be set up differently depending on whether it's in a film or a novel.
Once the scoop broke, it would all be over.
.
Gabriel shrugged his shoulders, plainly ruing his mistake.
D-Does that mean......
However, instead of a mountainous lump of flesh on the front end, there was a distinctly human torso and head leading the charge.
When the outlines of her body returned to solid form, she was naked.
she called, momentarily forgetting her own predicament.
Then, without warning, I threw them all at that annoying Ugly Bear as it sat haughtily on Maria's bed.
Before he could finish speaking, she pushed the haft of the dagger like a lever.
"You okay, Kiriyama?"
What else could it be?"
Is it something a spirit absolutely cannot do, I suppose.
I said that when things calmed down a bit, I'd teach you how to read.
Great fangs protruded from his boldly, charmingly smiling mouth.
"Okay, let's do that."
Plus he'd been teammates with Tadakatsu Hatagami in Little League, but what really took him by surprise was...
"Shinji's..."
The Third Man, Shinji Mimura, had died.
He had now seen everyone in the control room, making them all Level C employees.
"
"Mrrrow.
Aqua added.
It was a face that encouraged him to work hard tomorrow.
That teasing smile reminded him of a child playing a prank on their parents.
What?!
Despite that, Kashimiya the Guillotine instantly chopped his head off.
In the time between Llenn's arrival and the enemy's approach, Pitohui dextrously fashioned the holes for them, just at the right standing height and no larger than the minimum size necessary.
Impossible!
"I promise I'll find your first love before you wear me out with all this playing around."
Unusually, it took a while before her response came back to him.
So fast, so shaky, all spinny and dazzly...It made no sense to me why anyone would enjoy that.
Refocusing on the task ahead, she turned around to leave.
However, their smiling faces were hollow, and their eyes slightly out of focus.
Continuing to comb the countryside would just be a waste of money at this point.
Ild was quite impressed that an unsophisticated country boy had done so well at his task in the big city.
Could it have been the Gelmed Empire?"
Esalu stared at her silently, but then acquiesced.
Robert was extremely angry, but not for himself.
Atop Holo's head sat a pair of magnificent wolf ears that could never have belonged to any human, and from the base of her lower back grew a thickly furred tail that swished to and fro.
I resolved to not let my guard down.
If they shifted the budget elsewhere right away, wouldn't it still prove more cost-effective?
"Yo, what is this fish?
Cain, too, was gripping my earthen fence-slash-shield for dear life.
I love red!"
That said, even I recognized that what I'd done had been completely crazy.
Colonel took out his storage card and summoned his Gollem, Leopard, to his side.
"Nope, that'd never happen.
My words are volition, intention.
To all appearances, he was just a boy, but right now he was at the center of a whirlpool of politics concerning the seven rulers leading humanity into the future.
It was an upbeat, flashy kind of song you might hear at the start of a movie.
The fortress that had grown within him was a defensive one, created when he had felt he would be alone forever.
It was extremely selfish of her.
Her excitement had begun long before they'd left, though.
"This can't even be called blind courage.
She couldn't find what she was looking for on the shelves, but she soon discovered she could have them ordered instead.
It was a peaceful day.
"That's right," Lin purred.
That was why she had gotten a late start, and by the time she finally reached Foll's room, Zagan was no longer anywhere to be seen.
As inappropriate as it was, Eugene found himself smiling.
I had a lot of them, so her offer was perfectly timed.
Rvydom's soldiers were the largest victims in the war between Adolunde and Maruk.
Bertra's eyes fluttered; she seemed to understand in what light she was being discussed.
I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget about writing that letter again.
At this rate, we'll get dragged down, and the Shamanic War Dancers of the Lion King Agency will lose face.
The behemoth focuses on the wyvern, which is struggling to even stand steadily, centering his target in his vision while inhaling deeply.
Stiyl personally felt like there wouldn't be a problem if he were to die back there.
"...If you knew so much...why did you...leave her alone?"
Still, there were things he had to protect.
Yuiyui intoned, and Darkness slumped down right where she was, ending the stream of idiotic inanities from her mouth.
Though Holo was very important to him, there was a part of him that always preserved a certain cool distance between them.
'Wataru Ito'... A strange name.
Wha—Suzuno?!"
Maybe she's gonna ask for all the hamburgers she can eat.
"I was worried.
No wife.
"If you were only half just 'older'!"
Masato grabbed Wise and pulled her against the wall, shielding her with his body as the slime passed.
With regular Phrase, destroying the core was enough to kill them.
Ronny.
"...Fatty."
But what comes after that?
The threads!
Which means a lot of moving around...
Into this fog entered Izuna.
"Gale Wind—"
I'm about to say that she's not the criminal when Aisha reaches a hand out and pulls me back.
Dancers and daughters of musicians did call out to him sometimes, though they were only teasing.
"Still...I want to help more."
Yukiko shoved away his weakened arms and kicked at him as hard as she could with both feet.
Luna had tried to make a point of her unhappiness, but when it was ineffective on Rintarou, she continued to sulk even more.
I'm begging you!"
The woman, on the other hand, was dressed in a slightly more normal suit and tight skirt.
That was one of the reasons she'd been yawning earlier.
Yesterday, he had abandoned his bike near the scene of the incident, so even though it was regrettable, he probably would have been excused for being late.
The man was young, about 20 years old, but he behaved with more confidence and calm than anyone else in the room.
If the food you ordered never arrives, you have but to demand your money returned."
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
However, at the distance of a mere table apart, it was quite impossible to mistake the voice of a young girl for that of an old lady.
Kaori hurriedly attempted to obliterate the slime that was crawling up her leg.
"Hey, Ruth, what happened here!?"
That said, I was growing more confident in my diplomatic skills, even if I did have to resort to force at times.
What a lie.
"You can find the items on it all over the land.
Lud was unable to refute her words.
This was the first eruption of the Grand Gruen Volcano in known history.
"Got it."
However, Tayuma didn't know the man she was with.
Rhet, Taros, let's go," Malraux said and took his leave.
What hurt Hajime's pride the most though, was Kouki and Ryutarou's pitying looks.
That's my take."
Eating too much meat can take years off your life, you know?"
In the middle of the charging band, the kappa alone seemed concerned.
After all, I was still a nine-year-old child; if an adult was going to spoil me, I would of course take advantage of it.
"I came here for the eye candy.
The thundering of the water drowned out their screams.
"Okay, but just calm down...
However, I sliced through air.
"Yeah, and don't mix 'em up.
Was this going to be okay...?
It wasn't as though he hadn't worried about the implications of what he was doing.
I had put a cheap sword into the sheath for the time being, but with the actual katana in it, the design was a perfect match.
"They must really like it in there!
Instead, a thin smile crept over his lips.
With that, Marluxia vanished.
Perhaps his current arousal had opened up a wound sustained during the battle with Eustach.
The Professor answered from his right.
If Nana had been there, she would have been the first person Yurika went to during the scavenger hunt when she was tasked with finding a friend.
Is it appropriate for mine to be the hand she holds of her own volition?
asked Azama, his brows furrowing.
There were also strange creatures in the picture, like genies, angels, and a monster that looked like a filolial.
"This bamboo sword has got the 'Indestructible' property on it, yes?"
I was prepared for the worst given our dealings with the Seedrunian military so far.
The company commander raised his voice in surprise...
Medhimama pounced on them.
With a yellow armband that read "Public Morals Committee" running around her left arm, the girl in the water was easily recognizable.
The 'wisest ruler in the world.
"Um, er... What was that...?"
She was not in Japan, and she was not on Earth.
I've never seen her in the army..."
"That girl is Kaede Foxia," Juna answered on Liscia's behalf.
Fine."
Aesthetic advances...... Bringin' in more c*cks can only help in the long run."
I was totally touching his face!
"Is it possible that the two foreign nobles who tried to kidnap Maria also kidnapped that girl?"
"Well...it looks like someone's here to tell us," Riku said.
His muscles had probably been paralyzed by all the EM waves hitting him from close range.
"They are the ones who kidnapped Sanae-sama."
It always took her a while to get ready in the morning.
"It's dangerous to let him find you here—I won't let that happen.
His methods were severely militaristic, and more than two thousand were killed in battle or executed on the spot for not immediately obeying orders to lay down arms and return to their postings.
You know what to do with it, right?"
From the house they could hear His Highness's party rowing up and down the river and making very nice music.
Unexpected heat stung the corner of my eyes.
If she was going to say that in such a calm voice while tapping on my shoulder, of course my shoulders would relax.
9
Aleister was in the windowless building.
I might have some..."
All I had was the string attached to the pendant I was wearing.
"Stay calm, okay, lady?
—But though the odds were stacked against her, Shea-sama never gave up!
You're slow!
"I won't, you know...?
The view widened into a vast expanse of waterways.
Hey, it's Tuuli!
"I never dreamed that Pemptos would attack in a public place like that.
That being the case, by putting the important executive he had helped to make a full recovery in charge, we were now training new surgeons in this country.
"It would please me greatly if I could help make the harvest festival happen," Glenn replied.
Seeing Charl stuff her mouth with such a delicious looking roast bird, Caris's stomach growled again.
"So, you would say that humans should never relinquish their right to judge whether or not something is human?
"If she had that much power, she wouldn't have to take Rino hostage to threaten the Demon King."
It wasn't just a mess—it was a freaking train wreck just waiting to happen.
"I'll be waiting.
One by one they ran down to her chin.
Spinning around, he returned to the carriage.
To Masa-sensei who draws all the illustrations, Akagishi K-sensei who's in charge of the comic, my editor sir I, and everyone at Overlap, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Why?!"
We left the cargo to Rulitora and Roni, then the two of us went to greet the temple elder.
He didn't touch me..."
"Then why is His Excellency here at dawn?!"
You can't just change the casting for my sake!"
All I know about him is that he was recently appointed as an honorary knight of Galarc.
It was a small light source, like a flame made by a tiny candle.
"We'll get along nice with the other robots, ho!"
Koutarou had to find the perfect spot for this to work.
So why'd we only find out about this now?"
All of a sudden, the crowd went quiet.
"Refugees or not, children eat.
Al clung to his neck.
Kieli wanted to talk to her about Harvey and the Corporal, too.
She looked back over her shoulder just once.
"Got it."
"What?"
"I was never told either!
the elf crowed.
Oh yes!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door to his study.
Because he was an entrepreneur in the munitions industry, he was considered a merchant of death.
I lapsed into silence, sweating bullets on the inside.
As most knights primarily utilized slashing attacks with longswords, Rigel's form was very strange.
And the Belial's divinity produced the Devil's Bullet.
Where a gorgeous woman appeared, a fuss was certain to follow.
As the girl cried out in surprise, you could see droplets of tears that formed in reaction, sparkling in her eyes.
Right now, Squallow was only following orders from the master chip amplifier.
"That's more like it," Marie said with a broad smile.
"No, I don't know them."
Carla led the way into the mansion, and Naden and I tailed after her.
She's been practically the definition of clumsiness."
She's a perfect fit, since she carried their bloodline, and they targeted her over you, because she hasn't matured as a mage yet.
"Oh, right...
"This is Big Marie."
I can only tell you I wish you the best of luck."
This recalls to our mind that there was in the olden time an exile who gave a stanza even to the postmaster of a village.4 Why then should not Genji have sent to her whom he knew this stanza?
Croquette—known as Wilhelm, the Empire's very first emperor—pondered the potatoes as he rode his horse home.
On the Ocean Turtle, which was still out at sea but shut down by the SDF, the Lightcube Cluster, which was the container for the Underworld, and its Main Visualizer were still active, but the situation was fluid, to say the least.
"Woof."
They interacted with them often, fostering trust between them.
Someone so precious to me died, but now that person is back before me in another form.
My sulking only brought a strained smile to Johan's face.
In fact, Joshua was less terrifying than this man, although at least Craib didn't lay a finger on Arcus.
They had caught every bit of that exchange.
It's convenient for her to be dressed as a town girl at the moment, but I look forward to her becoming a fine merchant woman in the near future.
I'm not mad; I'm just curious.
"If we're stuck here for days on end, Nagisa's gonna get worried.
I believe it has been a year since then?"
Fellow teachers would say, "Oh, it's you, Yui-sensei.
"Aye...
"Then what'll we do?"
"Excuse me!
"Perhaps being mindful of how long we're allowed to remain on school grounds.
The sear marks are looking nice, should be just about done.
She was currently wearing her tawny hair up in a white ribbon.
"Lying will be of no benefit to you."
Looking closer, I noticed a stringy substance, almost like glue, connecting the tendril tip to Rowze's blade.
"Hmm.
2V spoke with far more complex words than a girl her age should have been able to use.
"As you say.
As I was explaining my life to Cian, I couldn't help but feeling that I had somehow become Miach.
If I did, the consequences would be dire.
"Mommy..."
She looked up with a start.
Yesterday she'd been so energized to get started on the construction this very second, but today she seemed pretty laid-back about it.
This was a breeding room specifically for rodents and lagomorphs, with various types of rabbits and rats kept in rows of observation cages along with larger breeding habitats embedded in the walls.
No—maybe they could have even won, in their normal forms.
She also seemed like she might be feigning disinterest, but listening closely.
Why do I run my business in this form?
Among the 150 students, approximately 50 of them were commoners.
That was why Komain had been surprised to see Brad here.
I just realized that we never named our inn!
In the event that the prototype orb catches on fire at this altitude, if I can't get it under control, I'll end up sharing an intense kiss with the earth.
And that's basically what capital punishment is—"
"Sorry I'm late."
The armor was too heavy for her to move with just her own strength.
"Demons are basically fonts of magical power, so even if he'd summoned them, they would've been helpless inside the magic-weakening barrier."
"Merry!"
"Got it!"
Everyone was smiling as they belted out their anthem.
Monoma's rivals—the ones he loved to hate and hated to love—were, for a change, having a go at him.
"That's perfect," said the gigantic warrior.
"He plans to run Seio by marketing the school alumni in a big way and enhancing the academy's prestige through them.
"Check it out.
That's their reason for existence.
As her center of balance shifted upwards, he slammed a palm into her vulnerable chest.
That's why it's fine now," Rio stated firmly.
Pointing to a third man, a lanky individual, Gordo said, "This here's Sergei.
His debts to his friends had piled up, and he continued to gamble, but as if the universe was mocking the flustered man, both his luck and his money had evaporated like morning dew.
Aaaaaah!!"
Clan had set the children up watching videos on one half of the conference room while she sat in the back working on some research.
The audience, too, from Meckart to the servants, was at a loss for words.
Well, her expression never changes, so it's kind of hard to tell what she's thinking anyway.
The walls here seemed to be nice and soundproof, as we couldn't hear anything from within.
Though she continued to make a big scene, Yunyun chanted, " Teleport!"
Zaimokuza's U-turn was quick and slick.
He only hit to break and to harm.
He had already informed the Milone Company about the depreciating trenni silver.
...Why...is she eating it...?
"It's time to show them just how strong we are!"
Subaru realized he was standing on a grassy plain that should not have been there.
Death Fist was one of Ryutarou's new skills that bypassed an enemy's defenses and destroyed their internal organs.
For the first time, the two girls realized what it felt like to head into battle and leave their loved ones behind.
She couldn't help glancing at the golden-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman who was calmly standing in the distance.
Outside Tokyu Hands
"I'm grateful to you, Mr. Rokujou," said Aoba, still wearing his ski mask.
All of the boys, who were now sitting in their seats, were looking at us with amused expressions.
But it was too late.
I quietly squeeze into a fist the hand I've brought to my chest.
Already by that time I had been taught a lamentable thing by the maids and menservants; I was being corrupted.
"Good morning, my fair lady," he greeted in a ridiculously polite voice.
"Lots of Miaaas?"
This time it was Yogiri's turn for blank amazement.
"Um, Devil Princess-san, wouldn't it be better if we infiltrated the base more quietly according to plan?"
The clothes they wore looked sloppily made.
What he pulled out was a large gun.
He couldn't suppress the feeling that they'd won by the skin of their teeth.
We were victorious, but the victory came at a heavy cost.
As predicted, when the three of them reached the center of the room, something happened.
It was the first time that had ever happened.
He had refused the request and since separated from his friends who had accepted it.
Like I'd just seen him recently...
That is something we'll have to look into if we're going to figure out where Miss Oikura's mother went, though."
"Just memorize it."
What plan?"
"Huh, so it's impossible even for you?"
"But I'm..."
"I'm afraid you and Miyashita Touka have your job to do, just as I have my duty.
Stories of cart horses becoming human were not uncommon among traveling merchants, and Lawrence had since the beginning laughed off such yarns as ridiculous, but lately he wondered if they could be true.
I was really getting sick of him calling me "kiddo" too.
No big deal."
She was always throwing barbs at him for being an idiot or this and that, but there was still this sweet side to her, too.
By some technology, several square windows were floating in dead space.
Which is why they understand the girls' despair.
I pointed my right hand at Gelmud, who was still in pain and desperately attempting to heal himself.
Why would he show his back and then jump away?
"Oh no," I said in a strained voice.
murmured Grickin, not thinking properly, before remembering the situation.
–Shell's getting married?
"Hwaaaaaah?!"
Did I leave it back in my room?
"..."
Fifty worlds' worth of years, huh?
I wouldn't even mind being burned in eternal flames, like Scorpio in Night of the Milky Way Railroad.
"By the way, there's a little matter I'd like to discuss with you."
She's probably pondering tentacles again, I bet.
For his part, Hilde had been easily wounded by a sword, had lost all his influence as a grand merchant, was nearly killed by drunks, and now slept in a wicker cage.
Latina was already plenty cute, but she'd obviously become even more amazingly adorable.
The only thing I wanted to change was the cooking temperature.
Kuraa-ma!
Elin covered her face with her hands.
He must've realized who the culprit was.
"A Rolls Royce breaks down in the middle of a desert road," Hachikuji backtracked and started telling me the so-called urban legend.
By rights, it is presumptuous to receive compensation for such a thing..."
Seeing Crusch's eyes fall slightly, Rem lifted her face and firmly replied, "Not at all.
It feels awful, like bugs crawling inside my skull, and my vision flickers.
I see...
Did I do something bad?"
"Yeah... he has that whole stoic aura thing going, doesn't he?"
"Um..."
Lena didn't follow.
I faintly remember asking a child my age to save me," Flora confirmed with a nod.
I want you to begin tomorrow!"
This is painful!
He believed only those who could prepare in their mind for every possibility were the ones who could make that future a reality.
To her, he looked very much like a goblin.
After I had gone unconscious from loss of magic, Aqua had apparently started filtering in earnest.
Thank you so much.
As he was going great guns, his colleague beside him commented, "Serves him right."
Underneath the bandages, Lawrence had lathered on a special ointment that contained a bit of herb, pig fat, and sulfur.
Fran's appearance and characteristics were unmistakable.
All he remembered were the words:
—And He asked him, What is your name?
What kind?"
Conversely, if too much blood got to the man's head and he turned into a raging monster, that would lower the chance of success.
"Don't worry about it!
She'd almost forgotten the memories it came from.
A surge of pure, light-sucking black writhed, soared, and tangled.
Vyken pounced.
Those were her final words.
She held her head in her hands and started to shake.
I sip the red liquid and a sour tang numbs my tongue.
"Eastern artwork can easily be changed out to suit the season or occasion," he explained, pulling the attached cord.
What thing?
He planted a seed in the hole and hit a button on the pocket watch hanging from his neck.
Heavy infantry, shield the mages while they fire."
If it was from a pagan god, then they would deliberately desecrate it, and when divine punishment failed to arrive, call it proof of the Church's superiority.
"Well, then can I ask you something?"
Then he heard a metallic sound in the distance.
So we divided our labor."
It's so boring."
"...We don't know, you know?
Taichi asked her.
While it had been shoveled around the village, it really piled up outside.
"Thirteen happens to be a clingy drunk."
Sui will eat too—.��
��Hey hey hey, let me eat too!��
And it looks like Sui and Dora-chan will be joining us too.
He pulled her toward him.
Let's see this as a first-timer's course and just make do with a massage, all right?"
"Everybody I think is interesting turns out to be crazy.
"That's right.
I stood up, sluggishly, and used my remaining arm to pick up the one the Afflicting Cat had dropped.
Ferdinand took out his chair and sat down as well, and once we made eye contact, he prompted me to begin.
Like a big black bird...
She thought she saw the shadow turn an abrupt right angle in midair; it faced their direction and charged at them, like a sudden gust of wind.
Purple liquid spilled out from the wound.
All the others were overjoyed to be resuming their journey.
I didn't mean anything by it."
"Ahhh...
You knew that could happen, right?
"He certainly is, isn't he?
It's a priceless treasure, it has to be.
"I thought I had finally found another true swordsman like me in this school.
But this was an entirely different kind of risk than he had experienced before, which somehow made it easier for him to think through clearly.
"Mhm..." The boy looked down and nodded a little.
shouted the jiangshi as his left arm was completely severed.
After all, we're both merch–"
He was cut off when Lawrence punched him in the nose.
This was beginning to feel so much like a real date that Hestia's cheeks were starting to go numb.
Hmm...
Man, such hotties, though; total shame...
"Y-Yes, sir."
She slayed a pair of tigerwolves.
Before a shop selling used goods quite a ways down on the cycle of clothing, Holo's face evidenced clear displeasure.
"Taichi, you sound like a middle-aged father," Kiriyama commented, pity in her eyes.
ah."
"What's that?
Garnet, entirely depleted of power, climbs up Limis's staff to the very top.
Last of all, a little ways removed from the others, Arg whispered in a voice no one else could hear.
I made several friends that I could hang out with almost immediately.
"...?
Ele looked at both Lord Glen and me before shrugging again.
She jumped at Sharon and tightly wrapped her arms around the dumbfounded girl.
It was almost midnight—in other words, time for the last train—so a lot of office workers and drunks were being drawn to the stairs.
He was approaching the end of his life span.
Mere moments pass before he gets close enough to grab me...
Plop.
Right now though, there were only two people there.
Do you still wish to pursue this matter?"
"We can't let her inside the house," answered Tatsuya, his face an actual smile this time.
Sharp pain traveled through both of their wrists.
"Ha--ahh!"
It has abnormal defensive power, adhesiveness, and my extraordinarily good strategies.
"
A heavy bundle lands with a thump next to Nahura.
"Proof?"
That was the choice.
Medhi was dealing with two crises at once.
"Don't call me that."
He gulped it down instantly and finished off the remnants by licking his bottom lips while looking straight into my eyes.
"But Aozaki would come for the throat of anyone, women and children included.
Before I could say yes or no, the Succubus ended her possession.
Elbow and wrist against wrist and muzzle—we knocked the other's gun slightly out of line, making each other barely miss with our shots.
His laugh was pained, as if the humor for him was in the fact that the captain was still getting mileage out of this particular standby.
That's the category I fall into.
It was a common trope in ghost stories.
Just as that thought crossed her mind and she placed her feet on the floor—
"Oh?"
"You'd better not be about to babble on about not actually knowing anything yourself."
What surprised her even more was what Nanami said.
"I carelessly saved you, but at this rate maybe I should've left you alone... Did I get caught up in some confounding business?
You're up!
However, she had pointy ears, snow-white hair, and azure eyes.
As the pilot's seat had been ejected, the system of this unit recognized its a strong alliance with Lestia would be handy, but I didn't want to just do this for political reasons.
Miss Maria refused the village chief's offer, straightening out her back.
Hopper had done the same as well.
"Who is this 'Gülie' she's talking about?"
Osk wasn't particularly put off by it, so he didn't care either way, but still.
No matter how cheap the leaves were, I would gladly drink her tea, and it wasn't as though the SOS Brigade had any especially picky tea drinkers, anyway.
"Wh-What do we do?!
You reap what you sow.
His mother was the only one trying to slowly back out of this situation, but she didn't seem to care about saving her son.
She was far beyond prepared, and summoned me without giving me the time to prepare myself.
Only when there were people who needed to be healed would the Nightmare make an appearance.
Cliff whispered.
I patted Aigokeros, whose cries were shaving away at my sanity, on the shoulder.
And I had gone and repeated it.
My name is Li Gan.
"Oh, really?
"Umm... oh, right," Nanaka pondered.
But, there was about one barrel of it...
Stupid, stupid!
It is a pity that you cannot at least wait until our little sleepyhead is up and about."
As I wondered what would happen next, she pulled me several steps closer.
Our cheeks almost brushed up against one another.
Mittermeier arrived at his parents' house carrying the bouquet of flowers and the box containing the cake.
The corridor turned to the right, then to the left, continuing on for some time.
It was unprecedented to have peace talks held out in the open for all to see, but that was because it would have been too much to ask to try and cram everyone into a single room.
Sousuke thought.
So I started worrying a bit less.
This is Hajime Saitou's motto in the Meiji-era swordplay manga Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki.
There really was.
"We must bring him back.
"Hmm...
"O-okay."
Like a lost child, timidly reaching out to a person they longed for.
Working hard and playing hard was part of 05th Floor Alliance's motto.
"Want me to save you some curry?"
But there was no point in explaining this to him.
He clenched his hand tightly and lifted his face.
"She's so cute and divine!"
"This way?"
The river had a wide floodplain, on the banks of which plum trees stood in full bloom.
And General Entertainment Provider Amutech is a half-public, half-private company operating under the umbrella of the Bureau.
It was only natural for her to resent us.
Just like that, a human city turned into a Hell on Earth.
"Let us go."
When he looked at her, Echo was pointing at a bookcase set next to the wall.
Still, I answered her request and played the song once more, this time singing the lyrics along with the melody.
Fuji released Kuon's hand, but Hanabi kept hers clasped firmly around Kuon's, refusing to let go.
I gave the actors a vigorous round of applause, then turned to Forne and grumbled, "What the hell is this?"
She answers me in a voice steeped with hesitancy.
To achieve this effect, Jirou combined two of his skills: Shadow Clone and Atomsplitter.
There's already conjecture about seven new mysteries in the royal archives, so it's a bit late for that.
Just as I was thinking that, Jin came to a stop.
You have no chance of victory, nor anywhere to run."
Sorry for the trouble," I apologized with a little bow.
"Wow!
If you want meat, then you should eat kimyuus or karon or something."
If this is an urgent matter, however, shouldn't you have shared it during our meeting a little while ago, where we could have all discussed it?"
"Amazing!
Hey, come on.
she whispered.
At least, it meant that I'd brought her back down to earth.
"Stop!
She reached out and turned another card—I wasn't sure if this was at random or following a specific sequence.
He asked again.
"Your reason."
My understanding of my current state took shape in a mere moment, and I was presented with the word that embodied it perfectly:
Loneliness.
I used [Long Sense] to project my sight ahead into the desert.
They seem to be doing research on ancient civilizations, but we don't know the details.
Lamtra was one of the few places in the area not under the influence of Ruvinheigen, which controlled the rest of the region.
Joshua still had many things he wanted to investigate.
I had died.
What?
Yeah.
"Rimuru, I'll go chase after Maribel."
A very impressive performance, indeed, in the classic style of nobility.
We fought with you as allies!
"I understand it well.
If you think of sausages, wouldn't that come to mind first?
"There should be a letter for me from Kerube arriving here soon, and it will be addressed to this tavern, so..."
"Oh, certainly.
"Excuse me?
"Blood... Give me your blood," she said.
"Right!
Pitohui crossed the red carpet, her boots pressing into the surface.
"Well, yeah.
Sheesh.
With Farsight, I managed to locate my opponents, who were still in the middle of being blown away.
Even if they had suspicions, I'd never let them catch on."
"Wh-what?
said a large man sitting on a luxury sofa to the man standing at the entrance of the room.
Shion also mentioned that it was possible for the guild to temporarily detain him.
A waitstaff quickly whisked away the half-eaten dumplings she'd put aside for disposal.
I'm sweating like crazy.
"You're always up to shenanigans."
Her only daughter got into a traffic accident on the way to visit her─and the fact was so unbearable the whole family moved, I assume.
He'd been using it in small doses, but now he'd reached his limit.
The surrounding air was immediately electrified, sparks flying here and there.
The sound of Chikage's voice brought Anri back to her senses with a start.
Either this dog was exceptionally well-trained, or Enjouji-san had a special way with animals.
Otherwise unchanged for more than a hundred years, the only thing glittering unusually on this kendo practitioner's outfit was the Neurolinker just peeking out from under the mask padding.
While she had read minds throughout the years, she never had to cope with someone reading her mind before.
"'Prepare'?!
Or perhaps there was simply nothing to steal.
THE PLAYER'S MEETING
"I look up to and aspire to be like the Meijin.
She really is just like Latina was...
Was that she was completely flat.
It looked like quite a cozy arrangement.
Like, what?
"I don't think you have to worry about that," Tsukihi said.
Why are you asking that out of the blue?"
I figure that'll raise allies' morale, and demoralize the enemy.
"That's my line," he retorted.
So it was that Lawrence came at her from the same time and place.
"We're just a rural baker and his employee!
We were a professional ocean rescue squad, and we had our pride.
"You can't just drop something like that on me out of the blue," Arato said.
She couldn't possibly survive this attack.
Touka and I are heading toward the station now on our usual route home.
However, preparing a portable outdoor water heater wasn't easy.
"I dunno.
Smile.
H (!?)
You're not makin' sense."
"Captain told us you remind him of his little sister, the one he lost so many years ago.
They were the ones who longed for power.
But that changed after the incident with Ferris, and ultimately the House of Argyle lost any and all trust.
The priest had still been young and his legs had been strong, so it was unlikely that he had died due to some unfortunate accident or illness.
"It was bad enough to be overheard when we thought we were alone."
"Hang on, old-timer—are you actually scared?
It path.
Names, characters, places, and incidents are the product of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously.
"Basic tactics says you should concentrate your forces.
I thought they wouldn't hear us for another ten seconds..." Tessa whispered, looking up at the ceiling.
High school student.
"Please, just tell me honestly," Karen pleaded.
We ran down the hallway, and I glanced over my shoulder.
"Are you kidding me?"
He was done fighting.
Or rather, I'm sure you didn't have the leeway to."
There was a strange sorcerer.
But all of them saw an illusion of the world freezing.
"I'm not a 'sir.'
Rock showers.
It was an impossible task for just two people, but that only made sense.
Because it's the life's work and passion of a man I hate so much I could kill him, so I've hated it just as much.
Then, in a single motion, he traced around the side of his face until he reached his chin.
When he landed, blood dripped from a scratch on his cheek, staining it red.
Okay, so Akira and Maeda are in.
I was going to mass produce Fiends to kill the people of the city.
From the manner of their appearance, these were not the ones doing business in a lively town, but rather those who transported the bare necessities of life to the harshest of climes.
He was standing at the precise coordinates where he had been when he had logged out the night before.
"Mo—!"
Was I a monster?
And yet, he knew she was smiling.
There, I'd nodded off... and gotten lost in a daydream.
How can they be monarchs like this?"
Still, the Third High students had a strong militaristic sense, so they were actually in high spirits, wanting to "kick the asses of those low-life invaders."
I'm not a molester, I was just trying to help that girl out...!"
Nagisa rose up with a yelp.
She was most likely referring to how Diablo attacked her ears in order to find out her secret.
–––Could it be...... Jealousy?
Then, as the foreign element purportedly in him vanished, he shifted his eyes toward the rock face.
Still, I was way too freaked out to try and refuse, so I went ahead and cast both [Modeling] and [Enchant] in quick succession, turning those coins and drinking glasses into translation glasses in no time at all.
"As compensation for the eye and arm, how about I end you first?"
They were becoming more frequent as the days passed, and more specific, too.
And you can, like, search through it?"
He felt like he was standing at the epicenter of a blast that would shake the world.
Enba immediately went to scoop Setora up.
It was a strangely halfhearted engagement.
she asked.
"Eek!"
"It's nothing, really.
No such limpid brook could retain a memory of the distant past :
perhaps it feels after all that the mistress has not changed—
Ah me!"
The mage who completed the request didn't give a name, but the family came to the castle to express their thanks in person.
I will serve as a shield for Shion."
"...It's hard to tell a grasswalker's age at a glance, but if she's in the middle school branch, she'd be younger than fifteen," Professor Bihyak murmured, almost to himself.
She'd once heard that in the information field, sharing unsolicited secrets with someone could make them feel closer to you, and you could use that to drag them onto your side.
Whether for good or ill at this juncture all depended on luck and fate.
Thank you so much.
A "Bottomless Goblet" of monsters.
Now quickly, let's resume the party or the feast we prepared will get cold!"
"Th-that girl was held captive.
Amatsuka gracefully looked behind him, smiling.

MIYUKI
The Imperial Progress

Miyuki means "imperial progress."
There were preparations involved if they wanted to get a good seat to the show.
"Where's Yuki?"
As Chlammy gnashed her teeth, the crowd sighed as if relieved.
But he couldn't coldly reject Rose, who had nestled up to him like a trembling kitten.
She'll beat you with that giant fan."
A house like this probably ranked as "cute" in the eyes of most young girls.
Unlike craft guilds, a regional trade guild was built around assurances of mutual assistance.
Will that be all right?"
"So late?
"Here it comes!
But there will be no palming responsibility for this off on Ms. Sasaki.
He had been conceited for thinking that he understood Kitamura.
"Shaddup!
They needed to detain her in the airport before ever reaching the city.
"Ha.
There would be poverty and chaos from which it would be impossible to recover, and post-war conditions would be worse than during wartime.
and rose to her feet.
"No.
Right now, it's Operation Delta."
So long as he remained in the room, an inky blackness equally dark and dense would surround him forever.
I ignored him and walked on.
It doesn't seem that way to me."
And if Shell warns OctoberCorp, we'll be letting the big fish get away.
It had the effect of inflicting the Fear status ailment on all opponents.
The guillotine there sharpened like a screw and drove up toward the high ceiling.
Mikado asked in concern, but Karisawa just looked nonplussed.
"This is really amazing...and everything looks so delicious, doesn't it!
But there seemed to be no cause for alarm.
The hell!
She was testing4 him.
It coalesced into solid matter, and in a few seconds, she was wrapped in vivid blue armor.
Since the number of experiments was unknown, they were an uncertain factor.
"Your fault?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"A large number of vampires attacked from the west and are making their way south."
Even if it was feasible, it was hard to succeed—especially if the target was secure in their convictions or rejected these foreign thoughts from their body.
"Mmm..." Luward closed his eyes, raising his chin and stroking it with his hand, but thanks to youth and physical predisposition, he did not have much of a beard.
These were ten thousand people severely addicted to online games—not the type of people who went around committing violent crimes in regular life.
Apparently, they had asked to eat the same thing, since it seemed so delicious.
Here, take my hand.
"Swordmaster!
"That's not what I meant.
I hear it happens when they're in a pinch.
Ah... no, nothing.
"I could... Tell.
But he quickly realized—the fiend was already dead.
At least that's what Haruhi said.
His gaze was full of warmth and compassion...just like...
Just like he was watching little mice, playing in a cleverly constructed cage.
Mitsuha briefly entertained a scenario where she escaped the castle while clearing a path with gunfire, but she figured she could world-jump out of any real danger.
"Hey, I remember this one.
On top of that, the next he knew, the sound of gunfire was coming from behind him.
—I can tell, somehow...
Behold my Adventurer's Card!
"Probably.
Neither Farica nor Shijima said anything about that.
"Personal Skill, Violent Wind of War Debris...!"
"It's...an important...place."
Von Reuentahl looked away and began speaking to the stars.
So I just have to disclose the method to remove the Enslavement Collars, correct?"
Tino's breathing was calm.
Between bites, I took a sip of beer or added another dash of sesame to jazz things up.
It never made it to Bayloupe's body, though.
Benjamine, however, says she's seen the apparitions before: two, of them, both beautiful women.
Hadn't I already heard that Shinobu's first thrall─Seishiro Shishirui─called this place home back in August?
Ducking into an alley would be all but telling the cops they were suspicious.
The final menu: chiraga sliced with lettuce and tomatoes; a salad seasoned with tangy ponzu sauce and lavished with crab legs; two types of spring rolls stuffed with finely sliced crab and pork skin; jellied crab and pork; and crab-and-pork fried rice.
Nothing would come out.
Recently, I'd realized that calling her "Himeko" without any title didn't really fit with my position.
As they walked toward the castle, the warriors continued to make snide remarks and laughed boisterously the entire way.
At that point, I decided that in order to force my thoroughly weakened spirit to recover, I would try taking some of the White Drug I ordered online.
You can't use it as logic to exploit other people as stepping-stones for someone else's sake.
Princess, the Chief's up thattaway."
The bell rang.
"They would, would they not?"
Paying no mind to her desperation, Oscar broke into a wry grin.
Since I had already bought a number of dirty magazines in the beginning of March, spending any more was a burden on my wallet, to be honest, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
This is a student council aide speaking."
It was a strange feeling, like he'd extended his own life somehow, like everything he'd worked to protect was coming full circle as he passed the torch he'd received as a child himself from the adults around him.
Godot Deus was supposed to have lost his life in the initial attack, when the three demons had explosively begun their expansion.
Raise your right paw if you can.
The kids snapped out of it when they heard the figure fall to the floor.
In contrast with these, the dive call--in which both parties used their avatars to talk in a virtual space--was used only in exceptional circumstances.
Shizuo lowered his hands and said, "Question you?
Reluctantly, Shea stowed her hammer and Yue dispelled the mini lightning dragon she'd summoned.
"Well, of course."
Extend your teleportation range even further than Teleport, as long as you have a firm grasp of your destination, you can go as far as your magic energy will allow you.
"No, I appreciate it.
Alaia seemed to be in awfully high spirits.
The entire town was one giant puddle.
"Can't say I like the neophyte," Achille said with displeasure in his voice.
Alice was already in her sleepwear, clearly immodest for appearing in front of someone.
Julius shouted.
And many simply stood there, not knowing what to do.
I thought dragons were creatures that caused the pollution of a region?"
Even if I didn't pull it off, if the other two did, then that was fine.
That meant once they heard Rino was doing it for free, they'd have no reason to go to the cathedral.
If you'd be so kind as to help us out, Naotsugu— Yes, Marielle will be delighted as well."
The girl didn't look even slightly winded.
Kibaou demanded that the former beta testers apologize and offer up their ill-gotten loot or face ostracization.
She felt like Lettie might have purposefully made a move on Alus for her sake.
We could search for somewhere more out of the way, but then we would have more trouble telling Touma where to— What's that?"
Mile said.
You all might want to know that Ami is actually my childhood friend!
"Whoaaa!
"N-no waaay..." Mile muttered in shock, sitting on the ground in the spot she had been flung to.
Thanks, Cas.

"How are you doing, Zel?
"Now, now, just calm down.
"Now that we can't turn back, we need to ensure it succeeds.
Ugh, this is gonna be such a pain in the ass.
Gourry still didn't understand the question.
"Oh, I don't need it.
Lulala asked.
"Hmm."
Even though his home in Yochou was in an established "safety zone," a guest calling after nine o'clock was always cause for alarm.
Once we got to Osaka station, it was the 3-dan's turn to be surprised when he saw Big Sis and I hold hands coming off.
He turned to little Six, who had been sticking by his side, even coming to the command center.
"You can only say that because you're strong, boss!
"Sekimoto, what are you doing?"
"Oh, do you not like being touched here?
Silver Crow's response, too, seemed to contain an equal mix of pain and shock.
She looked like a snow fairy waking from her midsummer slumber.
I don't know what you mean."
It's so cold here, Fi!"
"So, you really haven't noticed."
"Hm?
"Wowww!
"Ruijerd!
The man standing in the middle of the cowshed noticed them, and started walking in their direction.
Within a few seconds, one of the large twelve-seat gondolas came chugging closer on the right.
Not sure I have any way to contact him!
Dull as he may be, the cold had slowly but surely sunk its fangs20 into his body.
"I'm inclined to say that my method of attack is confidential, but I feel that would undermine our cooperation.
Oblivious to the water soaking her clothes, Elin knelt in the shallows and watched her blankly.
Just moments after the two girls arrived, the two haniwas appeared next to Koutarou and Sanae.
So your connection began from something special."
Sasakura glares at the girl for a few seconds.
Because Reystov was a swordsman among swordsmen.
"P-Pony head...?"
"Um, I don't know."
"Speaking of which, how did you get those soldiers to teleport here with you?"
I could feel Kozakura stiffen...
"How can you be so sure?"
"No, I said.
Cecily grinned like a child with a prank in mind.
Aria sprints away—but this time, it's not a direct line like before.
"Your Highness..."
Ruth cocked her head in puzzlement at Theia's request.
Li Gan himself hadn't been an unpleasant character at all.
It was a human wrapped in some kind of protective membrane.
"Ah, the rucolu fruit.
More than eighteen days since the start of the game... 436 hours and eighteen minutes, to be precise.
He continued his visits, though, and seeing her now inspired him to invoke teaching her music so as to spend time with her.
Peeking out from around the column, Setsura realized his good fortune.
Dun be so rough on me!
How did you become a vampire in the first place, Rentt?"
That's what my dad told me, and he's a chef!
"N-no, that's not the case.
She was entirely too quiet.
I'm to try to block his progress.
But when Lettie glared in their direction, they hurriedly straightened their posture.
The bed was on some kind of raised stone terrace.
With the spades at the head, the card soldiers stood in orderly formation to come at them.
She had called herself Siune.
Lithisia, no!
"You're both safe..." Priestess, perhaps relieved to see a couple of familiar faces, let out a soft breath.
My words made Nemesis smile.
Not understanding what was going on, I gulped deeply.
Chiho, sitting next to the downtrodden Emi on a bench, peered at her face through her long hair.
"Wha... By you?"
"Huh?
Eheheh, fluffy fluffy."
She'd gone too far to stop now.
A bald old man sitting among the Council of Elders interrupted Roswaal's explanation.
Well, until we meet again.
A large pair of clunky black headphones covered her ears; the rest was uncovered.
I called, and clapping broke out in response.
Kai accurately grasped the finer points and context, and read between the lines of her question.
"Yes.
It was probably too late to start heading into the mountains.
Judging from Ike's tone, he seemed to have a grasp on the situation.
The pressure from the sword pushed him back.
She was flustered and had used Haruno's words as a cover-up.
"Hmm?
As I continued to think, a few strings of thought connected in my mind.
"Can I touch it?"
"Hey, what do you mean, 'leave him alone?'
Before me was... an impossibly beautiful sight.
I cannot help wondering what fortunate karma from past lives could have produced that reward.
Threading through the throngs of people emerging from the turnstile, we arrived right in front of the same ad screens where we'd met up that day.
They were the footsteps of the weak, lacking any elegance whatsoever.
""
While it is occurring, the normal bout of experience earned through battles is doubled."
But once that step was complete, there was no more time limit, which meant I had no reason to search for the sword myself.
"It looks like we're almost ready," he said.
I have no idea how to use a firearm, but if it's an equal weapon to what they have, I should be able to threaten them, at least.
This is her.
Like a refrain, or maybe a repeat, or no, I guess I should take this opportunity to say it's like an Ouroboros.
And that sauce is different from the white one I had, isn't it?
Instead, she just produced Porta and pushed her forward.
"But...then you'll stay hungry.
It takes a number of people to cook multiple things whom normal society would classify as a crazed lunatic.
"How so?"
I could use the shield I'd just got.
The knights are leveling up nicely."
As soon as we got inside and shut the door, Fam started screaming and dropped to the floor.
The first one was unable to react as it broke through his armor, flesh, bone, flesh, armor — in that order — and split him at his torso.
Ever since boarding the boat, Holo had been exceedingly sleepy, so Lawrence wondered if she was feeling poorly, but then he remembered how she had cried when he had gone to pick her up from being held as collateral by the Delink Company.
"Citizens of the Empire's Heart, I apologize for what has transpired this day.
The statement made all the diverging thought processes in my mind snap back into place.
Once we can confirm the size of the demon forces, I think it'll be good to find a place to hide."
"Just gimme some bread.
This was complicated...
Nahna Nahna peered down at Muu.
So why are you so against it?"
This man had been summoned from another world using all of the resources at the kingdom's disposal.
As the tidal wave of Haruyuki's argument crashing over him, Takumu opened both eyes wide and stared.
I guess she has known me in this life longer than anyone else!
Maaaaaybeeeeee?
It was less of a guess and more like a sure thing.
So, the fourth volume of the Seirei Gensouki novel has finally gone on sale.
just in time.
All the girls had bloodshot eyes that petrified me.
As promised, I shall grant your wishes."
None of the other goblins objected.
"There's no need to ask such a thing.
"Now, we have some food prepared for all of us, so I hope you will enjoy the remainder of the evening."
But he didn't sink.
Even Keizo was scared now.
Hmm, but wait...
"It didn't happen!
School coup d'état accomplished!
"Properly speaking, this is a world approaching its end, perhaps?
I hear that an elite and renowned mercenary company comes and goes from there and that a notorious slave trader on the mainland has admitted the bathhouse's superiority.
"...I'm positive that's the sound of monsters.
"Urgh!"
Actually, there can't be a dragon around, can there?
I definitely wasn't falling in love with them, at least.
I'm sure they'll live their lives aimlessly until, one day, they find themselves shocked at their unchanging and idle lives.
Washing off in running water is nice, but what I'd really like is a nice hot bath.
But, little did I dream that it takes me this long.
A shock of another kind shot through Thomas's body.
They'd also been selling a lot more to the guild wholesale.
Being so hung up on your authority that you feel the need to demonstrate it this way is seriously idiotic.
But even given that discord and the fact that rain continued to come down in buckets, once the sun came up, the world was full of light.
Was there some kind of hidden mechanism to open it?
It really was a costume...
"Are you trying to get smart with us?"
"It seems you're alive, Satomi."
"Ah, right, trolls can regenerate.
It was April, and I'd just begun my second year of high school.
Shoji crossed his arms, making no attempt to hide his annoyance.

Sora took a moment to stretch and then lazily jumped out of the pod, where he hugged the two waiting to see him.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
We should help each other out when we can, you know?"
"That you, D?"
So many times I called out to her... but I could not see even the slightest hint of a reaction.
Okay, then!
But Krai continued to ignore them, looking at a weird, wooden-donut-looking trash Relic.
"Th-That's impossible...
"W-Wait!
Necromancy awakened the memory of old spells and skills that a body still had in it.
Just as they saw where this was going, the Evil God exploded.
The Magic of Omniscience was helpful, but it had another limitation, and that was Satsuki's magic powers.
Seitarou found it odd that she said there was little precedent, rather than none at all, but he decided it was better not to inquire further.
"All right!
"What do you want to do?"
Ah, excuse me."
After thinking for a while, Gremmy played it off as a joke and shrugged.
Smiling, Kouki picked up one of the volumes.
"Come at me."
Wow."
"What's important in PvP is how much false intelligence you can feed your opponent.
"Shouldn't you be the one doing that, Mr.
She smacked him lightly again.
She's a lot more likely to come out if you do it."
"But if we do that, Balmes would be indebted to all the nations, Lord Holtal... We might even become the puppet of another nation."
"You used your royal caliber," Jubilia told her, trying to conceal the note of regret that threatened to creep into her voice.
asked Rook.
Purce turned to him.
From all the data displayed therein, that the Gigafloat Management Corporation's network was currently operating normally was now a proven fact.
But one thing I couldn't forget was the presence of someone maneuvering behind the scenes.
I believe that would be acceptable."
(Hmm, this is bad.)
When he put it back on, he could still feel prickles here and there, but he simply frowned and left the shed.
"The archbishop...Why would she send us something so complex and troublesome?"
But she answered with a firm nod, as if that was enough to show her how dire the situation was.
So thanks for that, Gramps."
I had no idea where the knight commander was.
If it's resurrected, they would know immediately."
Finally, the Blue Knight would fight.
Staaaare... Sigrún's gaze was uncomfortably intent.
The resentful mutter came from the losing student.
This den of hers looked like no more than a cave from the outside, but inside there was a bed, bookshelves lined with romance novels, and a carpet.
This time, he was out and about with only Rem and Shera.
The sender of this exquisite gift was none other than the prince himself, whose eyes were the very same color.
There were no doors in the Great Library—we were completely cut off from the rest of the world.
He wanted to break down and cry after seeing how much of his work had been destroyed.
Everyone was staring at Hajime like he was some kind of monster, which in a sense, he was.
"I never would have expected that Dennis fellow to defeat him, though."
This is why I chose not to tell Oka that the imperial army was attempting to subjugate the ogre, and I even thought it might be for the best if they succeeded.
The Legacy of the Sinful God was a giant military fortress.
"...You're right.
The face of a man beneath a tousled head of hair—that seemed to disappear into the shroud of darkness.
I had honestly never had that sort of terrible experience, and I'd never been frightened of it.
But that only made it harder for everyone else, who had to wait quietly until that happened.
There had been bandits that looked down on me for being a child, but even they hadn't pissed me off as much as the men before me.
Inspired by doll-shaped food described in a book within the Beddhist Church, we had the town's sole blacksmith Kantara forge molds for us to cook in.
Recognizing the light that suffused the bolt, the witch spat as if it were killing her, "Damn youuuu!!"
Chirping sweetly, pure-white songbirds appeared in the night sky.

"Form Transmutation Vessel, Rapid Rotation."
So it was Holo who opened her mouth and continued speaking.
His screens flashed with static as the attitude gyros spun around and around, uncontrolled.
Hey, what's with the flipper?
I went ahead and stored the fruits of my battle today in there, then checked in the storage rooms to either side.
"That's good.
"That's a lost cause!
"He's alone, though."
She accusatively thrust her finger at him.
Exercise your authority and become the foundation that supports all in existence.
That is how I found myself in the backstage area.
A few were already studying for the bar or various other professional licenses.
"Thank you.
How very merry.
Now, what to do...
It looked like she'd taken a liking to the feel of it, too.
Along the streets, torches and atomic lamps glowed warmly, while tables and chairs were set out haphazardly where the people could while away their time with steins of beer and monster chess and pleasant conversation.
Bydd did seem genuinely sorry, so there was no need to go beyond that.
"Basically, if you understand the mechanism behind a disease, it can be cured with light magic, huh..." I trailed off.
The thorny mood quickly dissipated, and their wasted efforts seemed to fill the space between them.
If we're going, I'd prefer to go sooner."
The hell did you come fr—"
"Do you not have something more important to focus on?
Apparently the blessing I had given my family was pretty unprecedented in scale, and Sylvester was not only complaining about Ferdinand getting it, but also teasing him for it.
Everyone was laughing and smiling.
"Y-Your Highness," she called out.
It's not uncommon for more euphemistic turns of phrase to get lost in translation."
"Besides, I know some more routines that're perfect for dealing with this level of pain."
Anyway, look."
However, the Ruanne Forest won't present any issues."
Giving a suspicious look to the vicinity of D's hip, the woman in crimson said, "Let me rephrase that.
A long silence passed.
I need Rafina to be one vice-president..."
Rather than waiting until she caused an irreparable mess that left everyone mad at her, it'd be better to have Rafina point out her errors early on.
My guard knights, both of whom had been keeping their backs rigidly straight since Ferdinand's loud entrance, were following behind us.
Here, say 'Ahh!'"
Monika could think about things that way too, and like all Outers, she had the ability to view trends in stories and identify roles and key items.
The one most taken aback by Takemi's wild accusation was Satsuki.
They almost looked like close friends sparring.
It struck me that Lutin's transformational artistry really was impressive.
It sounded like you just said you want to battle the kraken.
Any closer and they'd be putting themselves in danger.
Indeed, Miledi's brain failed to comprehend how Oscar had managed to make a mythical crystal at the age of twelve.
Everyone looked in the direction the noise was coming from—down the hall.
He's not just saying that, you know.
"Ahahaha!
No, maybe not unnatural, but a strange concordance─
"As I said before, let us not give ourselves to disparaging one another.
According to the reporter, the Tokyo Area branch chief of a secret anti-Children organization with almost one hundred thousand members in Japan was found dead in a park a few kilometers north of his home in Tokyo Area District 2.
Your breathing, too, actually."
Rabbit quickly began lining up stones on the map, Sashalia dictating their placement.
Was the oxygen inside the shell actually close to running out?
Lawrence was speechless.
It wasn't just because Lud had been a soldier, nor because of his appearance.
And yet, his jaws were so powerful that even Caroline with her superhuman strength couldn't make them budge in the least.
Xinglou narrowed her eyes in delight.
That custom was removed when one year's final had been so hotly contested that an accident occurred and blood was shed—a forbidden act.
It was a broadcast of what was going on outside.
"Sagara-kun!
Anyway, all things considered, I was in quite the pinch.
Next he got a taste of the batter and sauce mixed together, and then a taste of the juicy pork itself.
Every time she heard her name she smiled with joy from the depths of her heart, and turned to give a lively response of, "Right!
It's in my way, so I can't really do much."
At the end of the sixteenth century, in the northwestern part of Hungary known as the Little Carpathians, Countess Elizabeth Bathory was rumored to have preserved her beauty and youth with fresh blood.
Thanks, Nice."
"What is it, Roy?"
She took one page between her teeth and then ripped it off.
"...Are you serious?"
A competent sheepdog was a prized possession -- it was unthinkable that a shepherd would just let one go.
Fight them here?
He took out a giant gem from his chest pocket, its color a blood crimson.
I was going to die.
I'm sure they can do anything they want within that realm.
A great designer gives them what they want before they think of asking."
Wait, why is he even here in the first place?
"He'll come back home...
"I'd let Mai whip me anytime."
...Milianne, clueless as she was, completely dispelled that atmosphere.
We were standing in the middle of an unremarkable meadow next to a lone road that stretched off into the distance.
If they'd gotten the upper hand on you, then..."
"A little beating wouldn't have killed me.
Yes, finally —even he had been overawed by Miyuki's pressure.
The fisher spread an arm out and gestured at the fish onboard the ship...and the other fishers joined in.
With her finger alone, she twisted the iron bars.
At one time Ain suspected she was a Witch or a spy, but soon learned that was a needless fear.
He compensated for the fear it betrayed by raising the volume.
Right?"
Erica's mother had passed away while she was still in school.
So thought the disciples.
"Guhg!"
Holo quoted a famous scripture.
I have a difficult time believing he's just some wanderer with no real background.
Occasionally, she added an extra plate of food for free, calling it a "bonus."
But in Willem's training, which demanded she struggle against her limits, "mild" concentration wasn't enough.
Hahaha...
My mind must've been going in weird directions because of our conversation at lunch after Iris had brought up the ghost in the old school building.
"Unfortunately, my master also instructed me not to lose.
"We could move through the treetops and cut our traces off here."
She put her hands on her cheeks, practically squirming with joy.
"By the way, you people don't need to worry about that part."
The mage then shouted:
"Stop Hazer, Bell Cranell!!"
After a moment, Lucius backed away from Rio temporarily, lowering his sword.
That's why I ran off in the first place.
The other girls all whispered to each other, while the surrounding villagers also picked up on the situation and began to discuss it in amusement.
Renko loved Kyousuke, and Kyousuke loved Renko, too.
I said a silent prayer for this "Cr__" person, who had likely died a violent death at the hands of the demon lord.
Adding more to the pile of issues they already had to deal with, the new problem was the possibility that Rueda had become their enemy as well.
If I had better crisis management skills, I might have been able to do something about it.
And then, as though withdrawing deeper into the wall of flames, the powered suits began to retreat.
And I'm not coming back until you let me make a little sister!!"
she thought as she watched her father say "ah."
The will and emotions of the three girls became light that surged and flowed into me.
Perhaps noticing, Itsuki looked befuddled.
It was true, I lived life how I wanted.
As if sliced up by the ribbon of light, the dark armor broke into parts all over.
Do you really think I can pull it off?
"Noisy place," Wilhelm remarked.
But with their teamwork and skill, Koutarou and Maki were the first ones to move on to the final stage of stirring the ingredients while they were still cold.

I started my job at the park that weekend.
But still.
Kuzacky, why youuuu?!"
"Either way, that is a most intriguing concept.
I want to know what they're after.
Whatever the case, let's confirm the facts."
Rose was easily caught by Harij, who had chased right after her.
The black cat puffed up its tail under the table.
The soldiers seemed to have a lot of time on their hands: They were playing a shogi-like board game.
"Huh?"
"I didn't ask you what you were doing.
Lang's outward appearance was incongruous with his talents and achievements.
said Midori.
However, their opponent was stronger than any of them had realized.
"Oh, yeah, you're here."
Seeing Director Bear's relief leaves an impression on me.
Ichika, is that you?"
Once she was ready, Oliver continued.
She wanted to do what she'd never done before!
Caution is part of that.
But Haruhiro knew this spell.
If it had struck me in the face, I'd have died without a shadow of a doubt.
In that moment, all the pages turned into one big blizzard of paper and scattered.
I knew it was in here.
Miledi looked like she was about to cry.
"...I'm not really angry."
Only Shea, who had insanely buffed physical attributes, and Hajime, who had the Farsight skill, could see who was giving them a thumbs-up from the fortress 5000 meters below.
He loved Satsuki more than anyone else.
"Counting on it, Gauron-san."
Moving as fast as he possibly could.
"Sorry.
"Yeah, let's move to Area 4— Wait a sec."
"You're probably depressed about your failed confession, aren't you?
The beastmen and the human soldiers were all stunned, but Oscar and the others just grinned.
THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE!"
Her frank words made my heart ache.
His halo of divinity was as impressive as ever.
"Hexagon Tornado."
"I've got evidence, and I'm happy to share it.
How foolish that he should be so uncomfortable before the honest old man!
If they do, I'll crush their bones."
However, once they were right next to each other, he could see the differences in her face.
I have some concerns about public order in our territories..."
"What, public order?
A scream finally ripped out from my throat.
I was just taking a breather myself."
Darku!"
Those shots he couldn't fully dodge, he repelled with the lambda driver.
I could tell they'd have each other's backs.
And, just as he had predicted, the self-defense force never asked for support from the civil officers no matter how much time had passed.
It was an affection I decided to share with the person in front of me instead.
Taiga ardently turned her face away from him once again.
If this keeps up, evil spirits are going to respond to that Death Growl and materialize here!?!?!?"
Totally unacceptable.
Let's just do that.
Tisalia was appalled.
Gloop.
Inside are a bunch of letters that serve as evidence of his crimes.
It was a regular brick-and-mortar shop—a long-established hat store.
"M-M-Master Atreau told me to treat your wounds..." She tried to deceive him with a spur-of-the-moment lie, but she quickly regretted it.
"I can't say I find this fun at all."
You're totally capable of something like that!"
AKs were known for their toughness and reliability, but the engineering was old, and they weren't as easy to use as more modern guns.
Ranta's breathing was a bit uneven, too.
Clearly, he is not simply trying to appear fashionable.
a feeble voice called out to the Hunter.
The king was unarmed, and—
"Huh?"
It was obvious what eating so much fatty food should do to a body—either Sariel's or the Sephirah's—and even then, Sariel's gluttony was only a speck on the map compared to what Acieth and Erone were doing.
My last bit of hesitation vanished in the next instant.
We just became friends the other day, didn't we?
You are the Commoner's Hero who saved Lady Saya from the Forbidden Garden all on your own.
Thaz why I..."
Mariela had been about to continue speaking as her instructor continued to comfort her, but that's when—
"Well, it's not!
Chapter 3 Episode 18: Prototypes and Evaluations
I was walking through town with Serge after we weathered Dinome's bragging about his grandchild.
5
Having just passed through a hut where a foul smell drifted, the line of Krusty's shapely nose warped slightly.
I was immediately on high alert.
"Wha!?!?"
"Oh, come on."
At least he isn't a manwhore!"
"But is everyone that dangerous?
The village chief forbade him from being anywhere near Cassandra for a while, at the very least."
I laughed, a little forced.
Golems are just one application of that."
There's more than one species in there, too."
He was not an amateur at this.
In terms of game knowledge, that was already true.
Let's split up to search for her."
Then he opened it.
I figured you wouldn't have too much trouble..." She hesitates.
They can't really want me over there, right?
A spurt of blood shot out of Gremory's nose.
Neither party wanted to be liable for this situation.
"Wow, Mr. Satou.
" Sneaking in is impossible..."
And it was.
This country is already doomed.
"Cyan Lightning Spike!!"
As well as an obscene amount of life force itself."
The signing event was really fun!
It also left assorted other items he had hidden on his body to clank against the floor, no longer of use to him.
This was truly a world of wonder, stuffed to the brim with the hopes and dreams of children!!!
I was walking around the town after it had become totally dark.
"Oh, uh, yeah... At school..."
I didn't think Myusel would deliberately tell Elvia about that; I suspected she had heard from Minori-san or Hikaru-san.
Just when I thought she was really worried for me.
But that's not important right now—
"Arwoooooo!
"They'll have to deal with it.
Well, it looks like they haven't forgotten about it, at least.
Slightly decreases gun's required cooldown time.
"Yes, that's it.
Even though it's so hard for me just to pick it up.
"How did you know?"
"Yue, Shea, let's go.
Whazzat?"
If a clergyman were asked which choice was the worst for the king or the pope, like anyone affiliated with the Church, he would answer the latter.
Then, in order to protect the habitats of demons all over, he formed the demon army and started recruiting from every race.
Claudio said that Fritz told him that.
I'm not all that great with that, see.
Since high-level food items had the effect of temporarily raising player stats, the combat guilds sometimes requested them.
What, I was unsure, but something important.
That was the color Shimamura's hair would be if she let it grow out...
They just kept yelling, "One, two!
He took the bottle, struggled to twist off the cap with his exhausted wrists, and gulped it down.
I asked.
It had been the same way with Felmenia, but Suimei hadn't actually sat down and studied the magicka of this world yet.
I looked down at my onesie.
That's right."
"I see.
If she had sounded the slightest bit irritated, he could have calmed down and told her.
"Yes, those are apples, Lady Mizuha."
3
The first one to avert her eyes was Mika.
In the moment that followed, he vanished in a shroud of darkness, only to reappear behind her and cleave at her with his Keyblade.
–––So, let's play again.
Hurry up and get out of here."
May the luminous stone, luisha, worn by the old Mountain King, become the bread of the children of Kanbal.
He was only after me, Ard Meteor... Well, I guess he was after the Demon Lord Varvatos.
However, they were currently being pushed back.
Ariane called out to us.
"What is it?"
As fun as it'd be to bust out some bullets, I still wasn't over the whole "killing humans" thing, and I had no reason to believe that'd change somewhere down the line.
Isn't she an English instructor?"
This was the perfect time to lie and say someone had asked her on a date!
The glittering spectacle of the show on the other side of their window captivated her.
His almond-shaped eyes fixed on Matoba-san.
Haruhiro shouted.
What's the downside?!"
It was a little forceful on my end, but I think they could tell what I was thinking and still agreed.
They had not come half the way to their destination – but that said, it would not be a short walk back to Lenos, either.
Since Duplichiro could ignore terrain, he would be able to move around with far greater efficiency.
And he wanted me to stay his 'child.'
I always carried a Parasite Swarm with me in case I needed it.
And I was knocked speechless.
They seemed to be big fans of the rice balls, too, so maybe they liked flavors that had a slight fattiness to them.
The atmosphere in the room grows heavy.
I'm small, so it's fine, right—?
Toki stepped in.
It was a weird frenzy of activity on the bridge that fine, pre-vernal day.
Lawrence had the additional disadvantage of being Amati's enemy.
Please continue, Clan-san!"
Hmm?
"I've met a few of the Liberators already.
It held off the demons' advance in our world.
He just stood where he was, apparently turning something over in the privacy of his mind.
"—?!"
Because I'm a pet!
For good."
He could expect the princess to be no friendlier than before.
I didn't think Prince Charles likely to be too offended, though.
The instant after that bark, Vint leaped at Dale.
It's no problem at all.
Insofar as Guild Girl hadn't participated in any investigation of the incident prior to assignment, she shouldn't bear any responsibility.
I can't go falling in love at first sight!
It just meant he must have been more skilled than her.
"I want to know who stole these carrots.
I really am powerless.
The swords' motions were gently halted, as though adhering to them.
Kai found the exact position of the godstone and had no trouble prying it out with his spearhead.
You'll be rewarded."
He didn't recall doing a single thing that would make someone pay attention to him, much less fall in love with him.
Please, wait..."
For an instant, the girl reacted to his voice and looked back at Subaru with a cold gaze, as if she was looking at a stranger.
"Could I speak to you in private?"
That's the only place we'll be safe," replied D.
"Why don't we just keep going?
"If you really want to thank me, I'd prefer it if you taught me about Forthorthian technology."
When Vodd heard Monza's report, he grinned and said, "Employers like to lord their power over mercs by saying they can fire them at any time, but mercs always have the trump card known as betrayal.
Boiled looked up at the person in the cockpit.
Gaaaaaah! "
"Haaah, haah, haah!"
"Go ahead," Hiroshi replied, his eyes still fixed on the bed.
"Well then, let us go, Dora, Sui," Fel said, and all three of them went off into the forest.
It was mainly at the urging of Shion, who wanted to avoid running into Fritz again at all costs.
It was the personality she'd developed during her time as a ghost, uninhibited by the forces that had caused her physical body to mature and grow up.
He had to become an immovable rock, so that no matter what anyone did to him, he wouldn't hurt them.
"Wait—let us on!
I think they might be more related to those humpless Andes camels, though.
Lawrence had heard that, normally, one belittles their opponent to reduce fear before engaging in battle.
"An underground room?"
Ms. Yamada's Rafale Revive, Revive for short, was navy blue and mounted four multi-thrusters, giving it a unique silhouette.
I know how hard this is, how deep it must have hurt you and your mother."
"Vexen, the fact is that your project was a failure," said Marluxia.
The girl sighed as she remembered her days of failure.
Aqua gave me a triumphant smile.
Subaru gazed at the heat rising from her lustrous breaths and the moisture in her eyes; that witchiness was wrapping around his heart.
The scandal will destroy your company!"
That's simple, then," Yoriko announced.
Okay then, Jibril, wanna be Steph?"
Awaki Musujime didn't look away from any of it.
I guess that feeling spilled out a bit?
"Oh don't mind me, please, Baron, you first."
No matter how harsh the characters were, fiction couldn't leave the screen to harm her.
Tee-hee.
I was seriously caught off guard, but Ai Fa reacted calmly, bluntly stating, "Matters such as that are all handled by the Suun clan, as the leaders of our people."
It seemed Shinichi was her objective.
So that's what's going on.
They couldn't stand up against such a terrifying enemy.
"Wh-what?!
He'd do whatever he felt was best for himself.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Rabi.
So I've decided to stay here with Whitebeard.
How―"
I launched myself through the air, slamming No.
So yeah.
"And that you invited the Darkness in.
The one where he's crying over Uruka from We Never Learn."
"Enough already.
Yet, I cannot help but call that a most difficult thing to achieve.
"Lilly is more concerned about what this mission entails..."
She takes the document from our goddess and reads it herself.
The chat room is currently empty.
"......"
Regulations?
On to the next question.
That thought crossed his mind for just a moment, but reality was not so kind to Jacuzzi and Nice—
—and the next instant, another unkind reality delivered a knockout blow to the group in lab coats.
That was why there was a need to test him with a taste of the extraordinary in the form of a World Shadow encounter.
"Kyaaah!
Battle fever seized her, stronger than anything she had ever experienced before.
"What?"
"?!"
There was land to his right—a cape covered in tall trees.
I was only wary about your attacks.
That's what Father said.
Wataru jerked upright and looked around from where he was on the floor.
Guess it's time to observe her skills.
However, Ladd didn't even seem to see them: He walked right on past them, with his hands in his pockets.
I see, to be expected...!"
An enormous chair has been positioned in the backmost part of the room.
"It's a long story, but I'd be happy to explain if you have the time."
But after reuniting and being saved by him, he continued to think about it.
Shihoru hurriedly turned her head to the old man who ran the stall, and bowed her head.
You see them from time to time."
Even without a watertight strategy, they had more than enough firepower to take down the city.
Claire's voice became even grumpier.
I shouted, forcefully launching my arrow of condensed wind energy.
I'm the daughter of one of his mistresses."
"That potion is made from a whole bunch of ingredients... in an attempt to recreate this poison here," Ethnobalt continued.
ENTER AT RISK TO YOUR OWN LIFE!—CDC
IF YOU ENTER, YOU WILL NOT BE GRANTED EXIT!
The Wyvern trod on the ground with its right foot, then left, and jumped.
"Index, wait!
"...Huh?"
The hobgoblins whispered among themselves, amazed at the spectacle.
But then eventually—well, no barrier will last forever.
"Good morning, Mr. Lawrence.
A girl was standing there, holding a paper sack.
Oh... You seem to be spaced out.
On the other side of the lake, I can see that the talented First Platoon is proceeding rapidly with its area of investigation.
Chihiro asked.
They were all the records and accounts of the incident; he'd been combing through every account from the time to see's the one who gave me that apple tree when I first started living on my own."
Drawing the revolver from his hip, Caleb steadied the weapon with both hands as he took aim.
"Our kind couldn't earn the right to fight for centuries now, and we only continued to lose our lands until this cramped cave was all we had left."
Wiping away her tears, she opened her eyes again.
Her body writhed in an enchanted ecstasy as all the power gathered throughout the labyrinth concentrated into it.
But you can't say the same.
I felt the joy of living again as I put the soft-boiled pork into my mouth.
But I thought the cutting range for such things was only a few centimeters at the most?
The bowl has a hearty soup of beans, turnips, and lamb stewed in plenty of milk.
Ruu, report on the Empire's movement!"
Until very recently, he'd quite steadfastly believed that such acts were merely the conventional means of conveying emotions.
He'd looked at my scars without disgust.
The fact that she'd managed to escape the first time had been sheer dumb luck.
"Our daily lives are only possible because of their taxes and generosity..."
"Sounds kinda like the sacrificial rituals of the ancient Aztecs and Incas..." Yukinari recalled something he'd heard in his previous world: in ancient Aztec and Incan society, ritual sacrifices were conducted in which sacrifices were something happened to La Folia, the crown princess, Justina slitting her belly would be nowhere near sufficient atonement.
He was so startled that his voice faltered, but there was no mistaking it.
That's the vibe she gives off, anyway.
Suguha put the device on top of the bed and sat up.
Boy, you're acting pretty strange today."
The light displayed a building that resembled a factory.
However, this one just turned around slowly, as if only now aware of Sara's presence.
"Those are actually pretty scary."
"How come we weren't special?"
Incidentally, the temperature at that moment couldn't have been higher than ten degrees Celsius.
"You should be on it every day..."
"Okay—onward and upward!
I'll even introduce you to a well-experienced dungeon guide who's also a pro at getting locks open—that's me!"
"Here goes nothing..."
For the first time in my life, I began to do the thing I had role-played hundreds of times before.
Also, the comic adaptations have surpassed 450,000 total copies sold!
His chest and back also overflowed with fresh blood, pumping out with an audible gurgle.
"I'll say it as many times as I have to!
True.
Kazuma at last looks the part of an adventurer."
I couldn't find any seams in the outer wall.
You're just a deluded idiot, prattling on about stuff he doesn't have any business involving himself in!"
Though these strikes could split steel, she couldn't manage to put a single scratch on the Blue Demon King, causing her to retreat.
He was second to none at being bad at giving up.
Everyone was wearing many layers of clothing.
Did you think I'd give up on you for something like this?"
"...Huh?"
There are a lot of difficult things about school!"
"You're a good businessman."
However, I am fine."
"Bwahaha!
Julius shook his head.
From that day on, all Mary would talk about on my visits was Lady Katarina.
"But she's real strong."
He was safe for now—well, maybe not, considering the wounds all over his body.
"I agree; I don't dislike this smell, Lady Lalatina..."
The scene revealed in the open doorway looked strangely familiar...
Haruyuki had no sooner heard that much than he was lifting his drooping head and shaking it vigorously.
We're sorry!
But the Forest Elves probably had their own taboo about taking living wood, so they couldn't arrange for so many ships at once...
The first one to hear me, Roroa, had said, "What, what?!
And inside this hellish prison were lamia, Scylla, and mermaids, along with many other dazzling monsters with human characteristics as well as extremely rare monsters like a carbuncle.
A party was visiting the branch of the guild in Parnam.
This was bad, really bad.
Now, it was plain as day that this incident was an act of treason by Ishidua Zaemoon.
The demi-human residents of Animania, for the most part, disliked humans and hated Hellions.
"Let's just get all of them, Master!"
After I finished and flushed, I leaned forward to take a closer look at the pamphlet.
"Can you see the toolbox under the desk?"
That's a's obvious why Eve so readily drafted a letter for us.
"Ah!"
Maybe that's true of you and me, too.
Irvine shouted passionately.
However, the Crossbow's right arm—its free manipulator—was still moving, and it stubbornly continued to search for the rifle on the ground.
"The Army and your directly-controlled forces in the Forbidden Army are making every effort to realize that goal.
Keeping silent and maintaining a smile took far, far more effort than usual.
She had been well and truly scarred.
"Enta: fifteen seconds remaining until death," the robotic voice droned.
Wait a bit, even if you say that there might not be anything I can do about it, though."
I guess she's someone different from the swordmaster in Cross Reverie...
"Wow, so you were the swordmaster, Sasara?"
Despite the overwhelming disadvantage he'd faced, he hadn't used Dismantle.
" Him? "
"Sven, wait!
This is somebody else, right?
"Sir Dryfe...!"
In the next instant, he smashed it on the floor, causing the glass to shatter and a pool of gory red liquid to spread.
Looking further up, they saw all five Frost Ogres lined up vertically above her.
"Come with us!"
Yumina's presence probably helped boost his confidence, at least.
But the moment Sora spoke, a dreadful growl sounded from behind them, accompanied by an even more dreadful because normal humans can't create anything 'above' humanity.
"R-right."
But, if you think about it carefully, Creation Energy will be injected into the world whether the Hero or the Dark Lord is defeated.
"Books from the Academy?"
"She feels a sense of purpose now that she can teach others to knit, and with that, she has finally secured her own place in the orphanage.
Sora blocked it.
...They didn't stand a chance against a former karate prodigy.
Sayaka groaned, her face ferociously reddening as she clutched her head and writhed within the bathtub.
It should help me gauge if he's a foe or a friend to us..."
And then there's Lady Helena's warning... Beware Thomas Salzberg, the governor of Epirus and head of the ten noble houses of the north...
Helena told him this before he left Pireas, during their final meeting.
What is it?"
A mill would mean increased taxation, which would instantly make their lives much harder."
"...I see... Well, I'm a civil officer, so I made sure to memorize the Empire's noble law.
"Grraa...nngh..."
Somewhere, a minotaur breathed its last.
"Good morning�� Master."
"We only do what he says because he's threatening us.
They were strange and beautiful, and she found herself taken by the mysterious sense of captivation they granted her.
And yet the hand that so casually held his was warm.
"When you hear you can marry anyone you like, it's hard not to starting thinking, What about her...or her...? "
Helpful until the very end.
"Yeah, that's probably it."
"With my presence, no doubt he wouldn't lose, but I doubt that would mean he'd win, either."
"Oh?
The sun grew low in the sky and it was nearing twilight when he first caught a glimpse of the sea far ahead of them.
Instead, she changed the subject.
The outer moat was nearby, too, so it felt a bit like dining by the riverside.
And if he needed someone on the science side of things who had far more knowledge than he did, there was only one person to call.
Adlet fell silent.
If he just died right here as he was, then maybe Minori would cry for him a little.
This was what had kept us from cool status all this time!
But those words only provoked speechless looks from the others.
I'm not you, Dad!
"By the way, Miss Norah, will you be pursuing your dream now?
They even made me pick garbage off the ground and eat it.
He won't be able to attack us from the horizon.
Ali's face turned beet red as she imagined for a second that he meant something else, but Hedin, who looked back down at the report in his hands, his face as unchanging as the vast desert, quite clearly did not have any intentions of the sort.
I think we'll be able to manage with three hundred infantry."
The sound of the weapons whizzing through the air was followed by the sharp ringing of swords meeting.
The small, family-run shops that have lined the backstreets for generations, the flower stores that are run by animal women who aren't affiliated with any familia, the random Jyaga Maru Kun street stands in the most out-of-the-way places...There are hardly any adventurers here because they're in the Dungeon.
Tsuzura appeared convinced this time as well.
lamented Jint.
But soon enough, Shea stopped crying and everyone put the sight out of their mind.
Metatron's brow furrowed into a deep valley, a meter before him.
So should I try to push through the Middle Stratum?
I could hardly stand still because I was so worried about Mei's safety, but I knew I couldn't just dump Maejima here, as badly hurt as he was.
He very much doubted members of the proud Gigas race would offer their loyalty to a simple vampire girl.
Motoyasu rested his head on his hands and tried to calm us down.
"Huh?
Petr on the wind.
If she bought enough time for Mikoto to get here, she could get a second victory.
It's awful.
That was because Yukina had helped him study until nightfall.
"Why am I even doing this...?"
Misaki, left out until now, interrupted with a beaming smile.
"That sounds g—"
Bam!
"Get up," a sharp voice commanded.
Because of his AWR's performance, the longer the fight dragged on, the bigger of a disadvantage he'd be at.
We'd been out selling for only around an hour, so the theft had to have occurred recently.
Since he could only stay at the castle for seven days, he didn't have much free time to chat with me.
My skirt's not completely hiked... Oh, oh, hang on a moment!
What mattered on the battlefield was the desire and stern will to live.
He keeps such an irregular schedule, and when he's really busy, he hardly has time to sleep at all."
If he takes ill because I haven't let him eat enough, that's more trouble for me."
"You have beautiful hair," I remarked, and then wondered if that was too dull a compliment to give.
Hammerspace?
When he looked, he saw dozens of arrows raining down on the melee.
The immense pressure had cast her down, along with a mountain of rubble, from a height of over twenty meters.
I love it.
As I did, I reflected.
Because you transcend all other beings, the whole of creation will reject you!!
The girl who called herself Rose thrust her weapons into the ground.
Even proper medicine could become toxic if the dosage was too high.
All that running must have been hard on him, too.
I got into the washtub first while Tuuli washed my hair with handmade rinsham.
Unless someone else had the same gun.
I'm just in a weakened state because of a curse right now."
Kaori's, Kaori's—"
"Noooooooooooooooooo!
The aether fluctuations became waves that were released from the laryngeal sac into the world outside.
A hydra?
Allow me to applaud you, Master Naoto.
Running with almost ideal form for a sprint, she rapidly closes the distance between us.
There was no animal dung to be seen and no homeless people to be found in the alleys.
Holo tried to snatch her hand away from Lawrence's grasp, but Lawrence strengthened his grip slightly, so she was unsuccessful.
"Yes, my lord!"
And then there was another blow to the globe—and a white crack appeared in the semitransparent metal.
Sometimes a big enough dungeon will undergo a phenomenon called Bursting and spit out its monsters, but we're talking about decades of growth before that happens."
All I know is there's a lot of them, they've all got a screw loose, and they're supposed to be a gang.
"You made me admit that you're my Bondmate.
"I'll help, just give me some time."
That left Nakamura, Takei, and Mimimi on the sidelines.
Guido's scrutinizing emerald eyes cruised her figure.
And women, too—they have to deal with men's crazed fetishes; they have to cook and dress in a way that pleases them; they give up their entire bodies to them!
"Ah.
But the pilgrimage was a long journey fraught with danger.
he responded, and Myuri puckered her lips and raised her eyebrow slightly.
"I couldn't possibly.
Suspecting that this was some kind of intentional act, Haruyuki furrowed his brow.
Alice pulled on his sleeve.
He broke his silence.
"God says that labor is valuable.
Anything else is up for grabs by anyone who comes knocking to join the market.
"Fix it for me, Koutarou."
One Quarter of One Day

"Huff... Hahh... Huff... Hahh..."
Haruhiro ran.
"Right now, the Seven Luminaries—no, all the devilfolk—are being controlled by someone.
I was the bad guy, the one who hadn't been invited.
"Care for some water?"
The bulk of his Familia had already left to prepare the castle ruins that would become their battlefield.
Arian and Celes would run out of strength before the legion could deplete its magical power.
Hmm, maybe not.
I could actually use your help here.
Since joining Log Horizon, it seemed to Touya that Minori had learned to convert that sense of responsibility into the power to move forward.
Either way, a Hunter didn't have any time to rest.
"Lord Margilus!"
"You idiot!
Both elves glanced at the door their enemies had taken before directing their gazes at the unobstructed path that would point to their freedom.
"If you think you've broken through Academy City's defenses, then ignorance truly is bliss.
He pulled out his fingers and found blood on them.
To keep her away from their ally as they fled with Subaru.
Minoru asked.
"Please.
He knew by now that keeping his heart under lock and key was the same as letting the darkness control it.
Senjogahara, sticking up for that girl?
Even though they'd been breathing, it didn't quite feel like the air had been reaching their lungs.
Anima clapped his hands together and addressed his family.
Are you planning to change in front of me?"
I nodded silently and got back an exasperated glance in return.
It's only natural for some people to try and get away!"
Chiyuri looked slightly creeped out.
"Kiichi?
Two suns burned in a copper sky overhead.
Just minutes later, their brains might be spilling onto the ground through holes punched through their skulls.
She held it over her head just like she'd described... and it started floating all on its own.
And that's why I keep saying you're cute.
Maou understood, or thought he understood, how astounding a stat that was.
For pyrokinetics, that would be heat, while telekinetics exert pressure over their surroundings.
Then, replacing the cap, I shook the bottle, for all the world like a classy bartender.
"Please wait, Yuri!
Plus, the Upper Constructs usually had multiple cores, so they were even trickier to deal with.
Demon... No!
I guess that was what she meant by a wriggly spell.
"Yup.
"A-And what is that?"
Because she was becoming a primary queen with right of succession, it might have been best for Roroa to take the name Elfrieden, but we were maintaining a clear separation to agitate the people of both countries as little as possible.
The young merchant's smile quickly disappeared in favor of surprise—this was probably the first time he had heard such a request.
"That should be enough," I said, keen to get this stage of the process finished.
"Come, my body's next," she said flirtatiously, putting her hand to her hip and looking up at him as though to say, "How about it?"
I'd have started a brand-new GGO character from scratch.
Oh, you mean that I become a total wuss when I pick up a sword?
"These four girls will all be your fellow students this year as Kisshouharukaze High School takes a brave step into the unknown.
Even as they grumbled, I saw a faint glimmer of hope in their eyes.
"Wah, what is this all of a sudden?"
"Well, it's only natural, that's the difference in our skill level."
As Pitohui leaped into a nearby building whose exterior glass windows were broken, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the left of M's two shield panels getting blown away.
"He did!"
Could you stop killing players?!
We have a meeting with the Sonnenlicht priests later in the afternoon, so we may as well eat while we've got the chance.
He's a Hunter.
You can't even stand on your own two feet right nooow."
We seek no destruction, and We trust this issue will be resolved without Our involvement.
"Probably because Miyano's skipping again."
My sent and received call history was enough for any others.
Well, at least he's stopped crying.
It was entirely likely some of them would complain if he suddenly showed up with an outsider.
As a result, they tossed aside their pride as people of the forest's edge and don't even hunt giba.
The front on the southern continent was a desert.
Though Haring raised a farcical cry, Yuri did not hesitate to swing his foot.
Two police squad members had been thrown against the wall, dead.
I wish I could have been there to see it," Kalinin said with rare sincerity.
Yes, very unsophisticated.
They were honestly, modestly, and above all greedily running down that road.
How long are you going to continue this meaningless fight?"
She kept the tension in her right arm, increasing her chances of pulling it free from Boss's left.
As I dispel my own Intimidation, the presence under the hood suddenly expands.
Lignum's special attack was apparently of the transformation variety.
Even cats wouldn't eat it out of season."
The apprentice was stunned by the sudden increase in weight.
She was somewhere around sixteen years old.
I'm sure there'll be times where you want to reminisce about the past."
"Oh...
"I suppose that's fine.
"Thought so!"
"
"Neigh... (Really...?
Why are you so concerned about her?"
You became a police officer who investigates brutal crimes.
"What's the matter, Sakuraba-senpai?"
On days when one didn't have to go on night assaults or do night-patrol duty, the few hours between dinner and lights out were free time.
I may even be rather fond of them.
Even though Herscherik had gotten used to being around his father by now, he couldn't help but be secretly intimidated by the beauty of his siblings whenever they were nearby.
I came out to dispose—er, to take that woman to the shrine, so they'll assume I'm a little late coming back."
When I returned to the capital, I enjoyed a fun dinnertime with my friends that healed my exhaustion.
"Ah, yes.
Seeing Stella's carefree smile had turned him bright red.
"...Hm?"
Would she be able to protect him?
He did sometimes feel like the result wasn't worth the effort.
No one else seemed to feel that way, though.
Perhaps you have sometimes heard people talk about him.
When she said that, there was no way he could respond.
Once the animation's complete, it's hard to make adjustments after that."
He had deliberately avoided talking about that, and Kaizu latched right on to it.
I absolutely hate people who break the rules, and I'm not letting anyone else manage you, Mr.
Furthermore, if Nagisa's memory was correct, Kaleid Blood was the name of the most dangerous of all, of the World's Mightiest Vampires—
Accordingly, it was small wonder that Justina assumed an attack stance, but—
"Ngh?!"
Door's open."
Yes, it was.
With the wind roaring in his ears, Arato was frozen to the spot.
The stakes were high!
It's easiest if done by the dragon hourglass, so I suggest Do not maintain it for very long.
"Okay, everyone.
I'm dreaming.
"Quit screwing with m—"
"—I am alone!!"
Kammy, you're an amateur when it comes to sorcery, after all."
Please do not punish them...
Are they going to try to escape?
"Leafa!"
I whistled.
Alice huffed.
No one wanted to be first when using the public oven.
"Taku, I'm really sorry.
Kaori cupped Hajime's face in her hands and looked into his eye.
It was like walking in an empty wasteland.
"Th-those undergarments are too perverse for the royal princesses of Midgar.
The friendship they had built during that time continued even after the great war ended.
"Your enemies may even take action, using another hero to get close to you."
"Can you really see me?"
Of course, spending four centuries without selecting anyone is one result in itself.
"I'll take you on.
Nonetheless, none of the researchers there had ceased their efforts to study the sickness.
He'd probably been on patrol, looking around the venue, when he'd spotted Miyuki and called out to her.
But I was going to do this.
"Oboro and the Bear are on their way.
"Once we return to Gideon, you should go get confirmation, though, just in case."
"So, you're not giving up on your ambitions?"
Azusa and Isori had volunteered to clean up and close up, so the rest of the members moved to the student council room.
Maybe you're tougher than I gave you credit for."
Against all expectations, the shortened blades actually caused the boat to move faster.
Perhaps feeling sorry for him, Holo—who was sitting next to the boy—offered him some more bread.
"What are you talking about?
Before I knew it, lunch had already passed, and I was unable to present the meal to Lady Katarina properly.
I had gone way overboard.
She put in more effort than anyone.
From her perspective, it was a simple truth.
The classes that Miyabi and Nana had chosen were Mage and Tamer, respectively.
"It's not your fault, Misaki."
You and I met by our own decisions."
I have to hurry up on gathering intelligence.
But before Seiya could make the hard sell, Hojo began speaking, in fits and starts.
"Yeah!"
She looked at him sadly, but when he shook his head, her expression suddenly became quite cross.
The knife blade disappeared into the crawl space once again, taking aim for yet another strike.
"Do you think that defeating a model student like Ichinose-san would be simple, Masumi-san?"
In the wake of the dust clouds, raging flames dyed the sky over the impact point a deep crimson.
The sixth day of the festival was nearing sunset, beckoning the moment that would spell victory or defeat.
However, Lyferia's efforts ended in spectacular defeat, and the King of Lyferia perished in combat.
Lilia stood bolt upright from her crouch.
I got a little lost trying to get here, amigos!"
She procured the choicest harvests, sought advice for suitable recipes, and spent many late nights planning with her friends, all so that they could provide their Tearmoon guests with the best experience possible.
His shift had finally come to an end.
"Hey, you're a chef, aren't you?"
It was almost blasphemous to name your child after a goddess, but it was no problem if a goddess had taken on a human name because she liked the sound of it.
The way he rooted around in it looked somehow violent; not the way one would normally appear when giving somebody a present.
As our party listens to the Level-4, second-tier adventurer speak, fear of the water finally begins to settle in.
I don't know!"
Remelio, too.
I see."
Dealing with you is tiring.
I don't think you said that, actually!"
Regardless of whether it was Kiba, Akeno, or Koneko, this was a bad situation for someone to walk in on!
"No, definitely not.
The condition was that those organizations needed to assist Acre in hijacking a passenger plane—where it was naturally difficult to bring firearms—without using any real weapons.
Is this some kind of reaction?
The cries echoed in perfect harmony.
"I also brought with us a globe of severed space sealing in the air in a radius of five hundred meters."
I had to see where this was going.
There was the screeching sound again.
I've got a good idea."
Sunae nodded in agreement.
"Hm-hm!
I'll continue my patrol as you make your way to the capital."
Eve— What's he gonna do to Eve?!
A mouth that emitted a rotting odor.
My holy sword, my Cloth of the Dispeller—they're both precious partners of mine.
The distant Saint of Versailles could probably hear her voice as well.
Glenn continued forward without hesitation.
A kotatsu big enough for eight people wouldn't fit into the Garage Bag, so I planned to make four two-person kotatsu that could be linked together.
A bird sang out in the night air.
Even I didn Asukai Jin.
"I'll start by putting one of them to sleep with magic."
I started flipping through the weekly.
"I once heard a sermon that said nothing can be truly hidden."
"...I guess you wouldn't be you if you didn't think so, Beard-cutter."
It parted the mist of snow, a beam of pure white mana headed straight for Hajime.
"There was some weird oil floating on top, but it went away.
This time, I'll take you down."
"I understand everything.
First Form!
While we waited for confirmation, Kiya from the magic-tool shop and Aea from the transmutation workshop helped me make a magic device to produce curry-scented mist.
A nose broke; eye sockets shattered.
I've always lived here!
Heh-heh... Come on, Kyousuke, I want to know... What do you think about me, how do you feel about me?
Although he was not watching it at all, the monitor he had his eyes trained on changed from one scene to another in quick succession.
All they had to do was be standing on their two feet at the end of the war.
"It has indeed been over a thousand years since the Strahl region was last graced with heroes.
The roots were surely too deep, so it was too late to nip it.
She was timid about so much up there.
It's so suspicious...!
"I wouldn't know," the old man said, shrugging his shoulders.
Lyu must have taken advantage of a peluda's fiery breath to ignite the last Inferno Stone and repel the advancing flood of monsters.
Kanako smiled, seeming to find that funny.
But I would've never imagined smartphones and tablets as a child, and now they're a part of everyday life.
We've never even met before."
"I'm sorry, but...," he began.
Now, go."
"Whew... Mariela, was it?
She fell to the ground, dragging him down with her.
They looked dead.
"Since Falfa and Shalsha were born as slime spirits first, I called her their 'little sister' for convenience's sake.
I hated to call Kurobe out of his busy work schedule; better for me to just show up whenever he's free.
I guess the uniform helps the family know you're not just some stranger.
It felt as though we were watching the last footprints of winter as it wandered away, leaving us to greet the coming season.
Lawrence was a merchant, and merchants risked their lives to make money.
If that thing was the vanguard of the end of the world, then Suimei's world very well may be in more danger than hers.
The conflicts of the weak are trifling noise to me.
Like Koizumi said, just a couple of lines to end it.
I looked up at my master, and she looked down at me.
I ask what sounds appropriate for a rescue squad captain to say and get a very unexpected answer back from Moribe.
"Come on!
With that, the messenger from the Theocracy took their leave.
You spoil the girl too much."
However, I believe the question of how to handle this irregular situation is very significant, both for the League of Free Cities and for the territory of Maihama, is it not?"
She must not eat.
Er...yes, surely..."
He passed the phone back to Balot with a trembling hand.
"Ahhh, the air is getting more and more lukewarm...
If it's not too much trouble, I'll take you up on it, soon.
A pleasant breeze blew in through the window, carrying sounds of hustle and bustle from which Lawrence inferred that he was in a room at the Milone Company.
At her master's prompting, the alchemist gingerly touched the philoroilcus.
"But I'm an employee of the Guild...I can't interfere in any way."
Mia Lea Ruu asked, getting up.
Why don't you think about it on your own a little more?"
Oblivious to the situation, Maou and Suzuno both took out their cell phones.
You don't want the second's misconduct to be adversely affecting you when you're about to become the third, do you?
The two metal giants collapsed on the ground in a mushroom cloud of dust.
There was a way he could use to take the offensive against Yanarkin.
Before me was the sight of a serene forest, and my opponent had vanished like mist.
Lilly exclaimed.
This was most likely around the point where the defending soldiers should reach the limits of their strength, especially after fighting ceaselessly through the night.
In order to prevent the Demon King from ever returning, she created seven artifacts to be passed down to seven maidens each generation.
Exhaling with seemingly heartfelt relief, the man continued calmly.
To save those afflicted with the Ten Day Fever and...rescue Luca.
Of course not..."
"Oh?"
Shea glared grandfather — it was not that they had forgotten about me.
I thought of all of them only as 'teachers,' and I never got it that each of them were real people with their own individual lives."
Harvey asked, letting his eye wander around the alley.
(What's that kid's secret...?)
From a distance, the undead looked like infantry in dull armor, moving about in small squads.
"
"Mewl.
"It's sort of like a Yorkshire pudding I had in a British restaurant once."
"Yes.
That's not an antimateriel rifle, is it?"
A classy lady around forty got out.
Diablo looked pensive again.
He heard a creaking noise—emanating from that which he was trying to protect.
Further behind them were Charles' knight subordinates.
Calling the thing inside the coffin a part of him, Jabberwock smiled.
"Wait, Mari, Miss Henrietta.
"Well, only using the yolks seems like a bit of a waste, but we did get a lot of eggs today.
I decided I should only worry about it when it breaks down.
"The pattern is crumbling!"
And he'll do it, over and over for eternity, until it finally ends in the demon lord's death.
No, maybe I really did just have weird ideas about pirates.
" Don't you want to be together forever? "
Hearing it pointed out again made her embarrassed all over again.
"Whenever I sleep outside, I tend to coil myself around a tree."
Unusually enough, Alus had no retort for Tesfia's sound argument.
"So you left the house like that, huh."
She'd probably be suffering some burns if not for her enhanced skin.
Levis's gaze followed the numerous people moving in the dim light with absolutely no interest.
I think that once I'm done writing this afterword, I'll shoot you an e-mail and try to fix that.
I guess that much was to be expected of Q'ten Lo's warrior elite.
I hope I can get there before dawn.
Had I said something strange?
The place was strange, eerie.
We decided to run it as a test to begin with, and add more buildings as more students showed up.
Twisting his lengthy beard, he smirked.
Numerous carts and carriages traveling in the same direction passed them by, but they were refused rides from all of them.
If you do a good job I'll get you a good one," I said.
I don't know much about it..."
"It's called the void because there's nothing there.
I'll tell you once we're out of here."
I'll get all of their eyes pointing in my direction."
"The Nine Tails incident.
Limis glances around the room, deeply intrigued, and asks Gregorio, "...I'm curious... How were you clinging vertically to the wall like that?"
He had the talent to read his opponent's intentions and the tactical mind to use it against them.
True believers, know that sleeping is your duty!
How her daughter longed to rid herself of her unwanted passion for Niou.
Based on how he'd said it, Ryuuen most likely did know.
The troll left himself open for a moment, and...
With that, then, we used the dragon hourglass found in Q'ten Lo and
Shun smiled as he wiped away his tears.
Isn't that right?"
At that moment...
A beautiful, rusted voice raced across the ground, leaving the wind twisting in its wake.
Summer was soon upon us.
Though Minoru felt bad for the owner, its large size certainly made it an ideal hiding place.
That means we can only stall until tomorrow's closing ceremony.
Yumiko, who had stolen DD's answer away from him, ignored his frown and asked, "Where is Oli-V anyway?"
If I could locate them, I might be able to discern where you came from."
Actually, are you still waiting for your dad?
He hesitated for a moment before he answered with a shake of his head.
"What?"
It looked like blood but also like some kind of condensate.
This was neither a question nor a jest, and Hagal remained silent a long while, then spoke as if to himself.
Send the other chef to our home, Rozemyne."
See, because you're here, these guys have to suffer like this."
Nayu deserves that."
I trust that you'll be able to do so."
There were tiny rooms everywhere, and even some places where they had to go through rooms to get to the next hall.
I heard Keima donated them or something?
"May God's blessing go with us."
Oh............
"Where is he...?"
"Bwah?!"
But in the end, it was nothing more than an illusion.
However, he spent more and more moments lost in thought.
Yet, they continued to scrape a life from the bleak land for many years—
"—and so, that's the creation story according to the holy book," Sanctina wrapped up.
He said Rentaro had voluntarily surrendered his civsec license to the Seitenshi, which officially made Enju IISO property.
Ayase's mind raced as she tried to figure out the meaning behind that word.
So perhaps Jaldabaoth had a similar ability.
The cloaks thrusters were capable of momentary bursts of power, enabling large jumps but not the continuous output of your average DM.
— That's what the two sets of three knocks meant?!
He looked to be of above-average height, about as tall as Dad.
Even Tio was stunned.
"Yuigahama and Yukinoshita?
"It's probably a cold.
We needed to drain his mana and kill him before it could happen.
Peaceful smile!
"Get some rest.
"What's more important than who was deceived by whom is whether or not the abbey was able to give the bone sufficient value.
But don't put too much pressure on yourself."
She was looking at us with a worried face.
"Y-you're right!"
It was the complete opposite of the truth, but that was the conclusion she'd drawn.
The highest point of the coaster stood seventy meters tall, meaning a sixty-five meter fall back down.
How many minutes?
Are you okay?!"
Bram glared at Myuke after being brushed off.
She thought it a waste of money to hire an assistant, so she handled everything herself.
Her advantage was so great that she didn't even need to make a wager in the final round.
she wondered, then forced those thoughts out of her mind and focused on the space above them.
He would search for as long as it took.
Thinking like that, magic bags allowing the passage of time seemed plenty possible.
A voice called up from below, and he leaned over the side railing.
Not that she remembered.
A single thin, large panel.
The prevailing mood of the room was, Damn, this guy's seriously creepy, isn't he?
The AS should be inside it.
"You're a bit slow on the uptake," Mana muttered loud enough to be heard.
I could bear to watch you suffer no longer.
You really oughta swing by," cackled a young man in a blue hat, a carbonated beverage in his hand.
"No, it's not odd..."
The girls weren't able to persistently hound Rio like they did with Ruri, so they shook their heads reluctantly.
But at the same time, the three were so close that such irreverence could go without genuine reprisal.
You couldn't be too careful around her.
Theresia's range for detecting enemies is larger, so you fall back from her a little, Igarashi.
At least as much as Agnes did herself.
"That wound is the origin," Azurite said with her back to the machine.
I have no intention of giving in easily."
A full clash of forces would result in what had to be staggering casualties with no guarantee of victory.
A black-haired young lady ran over, so young that she was little more than a child.
"I have no doubt...I would personally corrupt you...
From what I gather, she's a demon general who specialized in curses.
They fought desperately.
They clearly didn't actually understand the situation they were in.
The placement of the cannons was normal enough: one at the bow, two at the hull, two on either side, and two at the stern, for a total of nine.
"Not just the ministry.
Fire Arrow!
You have an idea what happened to him, too, don't you?"
But when presented with this in real life, he couldn't think of a more stupid story.
"How come you and Tuuli can just keep on acting normal?
She brushed the dust away with her fingertips a few times, straightened up properly so that her skirt wouldn't get wrinkled, and sat down.
"That answer?......
"E-eek...ohhh..." In throbbing pain, Allan hobbled away, clutching his ass.
I feel like this whole tournament has had many unusual elements, from academic tests to beauty contests...
That being said, this meant the winner of this battle would be a worthy dragon in both the scholarly and martial arts.
"There are no levels in this game, pon."
As he shouted, a lot of jarring noises suddenly started coming over the phone.
Shiki lifted the man by the collar, pressed his forehead against the man's temple, and said flatly, "What kind of a man screams when he sees his guest's face?"
We don't have the kind of money I need here.
I've tried using other curry roux, but I really do just come back to this one every time.
So it's food, is it?
he said without thinking.
is now at Volume 18.
It approached Harvey casually, unguarded, and got blown away by the shock wave.
"Osanai didn't say anything unpleasant, did he?"
They rewarded me with their calm, resolute stares.
Taking it another step further, it should've been obvious that playing a 4-kyu with a Lance handicap would be harder than playing a 6-kyu in an even match.
Since he thought Holo was charming when she searched for him with her eyes, she probably would think the same thing of him.
Many people were also deeply traumatized by the lethal capabilities of rogue autonomous machines—a horrific reality that they were forced to confront every day of their lives.
They had their hands all over my body!
Aria continues.
"I guess that settles it, then.
Lumina did ask us to send a message to the Guildmaster.
"I don't know if this is different from usual, but...she asked if I could hang out less with Shuji for a while."
Large-scale projects involving mountains and stone were one thing, but if you simply shoved softer earth aside with magic, then the moment the spell ran out, it would come crashing back down.
"And coincidentally, their car was moving at the time, so the other engine sound was covered up," Anna concluded.
She asked me if I could cover a few shifts for her."
"Fine, fine, but we're not going to roll in the grass!"
Bacura: When I caught her in the act,
Bacura: In exchange for keeping her secret, I said,
Bacura: "What you really want to put your mouth on is my face."
She had to carefully learn and memorize each and every thing.
"...I'm only stating the facts."
wondered Tatsuya, but he quickly corrected himself: Picking a fight was exactly what they had come here to do.
Loki tried her best to catch her breath.
"Stop fighting, you fools."
"Huh?
Jeord really is a genius...
"You are about the only one who could ever be fooled by a lie as silly as that!"
"Or likes using me," I grimaced.
And then he took a steady step onto it.
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing Fie's embarrassed expression, Crow could not help but laugh.
And that's exactly why I want to capture you."
They've done well.
"I'm going now, Nana-san."
No assassin would let this chance slip by.
The corners of my lips twitch.
Bearing her neck like that now meant that her chest was almost completely visible, so he hurriedly looked away.
The more you practice, the better you will get, and the more confident you will be.
Just like that, we kill one beastkin after another without putting ourselves in danger.
Despite my intentions, I reacted.
Do you not like the sprawling size of this city compared with others?
I don't know much about this world yet, but I'd expect them to be a strong race."
It didn't look that way to me."
"We may be nobles, but you outrank us by far, Princess Eleora.
Lawrence said.
"Fehhh... No time for a break, I guess."
Even so, she barely avoided the breath attack.
It has emerged from the trees and is rampaging amidst the woodlands on Ryle's outskirts.
Isori answered Kanon's look with a silent shake of his head.
I could have sworn the smell was coming from this direction..."
Making a series of audible sniffing noises, Angeline wandered about the kitchen like a military hound who'd lost its prey.
Even as she gagged at the stench of his body odor, she reached around him and pulled the box cutter from his back.
I couldn't stop it.
His movements were so perfect and beautiful that it was no wonder why all the girls said that he looked like a prince from a fairy tale.
They had a pretty cunning design, quite different from the architecture seen in Melromarc, Faubrey, or Siltvelt.
You can laze around in an empty room as you wish."
The purpose of those not-dragons must have been to chase them here—and this giant creature was the main trap all along.
the hairy thug said, tossing his jaw toward the ferry's stern.
O-Of course I do."
If we were lucky, the "flag" we had set up would be visible, but...
"Well, Toriko?"
"That's hardly fast-tracking to me..."
"Now, now... After the first two or three thousand have elapsed, ten will feel like a mere blink of the eye."
"We're in the same block for the World Cup preliminaries, right?
Yumina chanted a spell, and the soil at the feet of the Bloody Crab came alive, twining itself around each of its armored legs and impeding its movement.
"Ms. Oga is?
I need to turn in the quest, after all."
Their mission was complete, so staying here any longer only increased the danger.
The Machines had infiltrated the main server, so the chassis blueprint was easily accessible to them.
Everyone was dumbstruck seeing Loki Familia appear from the broken wall and stood there slack-jawed, paralyzed, including the goblins they were hunting.
I only felt more guilty now.
Stay cool, right?"
This time, it was Abel's turn to be silent.
Great Sage?"
"Karama, Korama, spiritual energy field to maximum output!
My sense of affiliation with the class was so weak, I forgot entirely.
We don't do that here!"
But the crimson spear shattered the thick weapon like glass and dug itself deep into his chest, past his leather guard.
You know the way, right?!"
Gorgeous was the only way to describe the man.
<< She sounds like she's asleep, >> Shinji said.
"You know what I'm getting at, right, Joshua?"
"You're a human I can respect."
No one had to say anything after that.
That's my companion all right," she said with a pleased smile, flicking his ear.
So are you in love with Itsuki, Ms. Shirakawa?
"I see.
Anyone who tries to mess with him can answer to his superior knife skills and his maxed-out "Slash" ability.
I have no guarantee that Elias wouldn't leave without us.
Could this be a prank from the other students...?
While one could expect a certain degree of recognition for such a feat, the effort involved often dwarfed the rewards.
"Good, you're a quick learner."
I first met these two when the CRC came over to hang out at our house.
Art lies in being reckless and throwing caution to the wind.
Obviously, it was the best castle for me to build and where I could live out my daily life.
In all likelihood, Demiquas was a tyrant within his guild as well.
Godma's research that artificially created light element users was something that would fulfill the needs of both of these nations.
"Yes, it's true.
I'll leave it to Adlet."
There's a church nearby.
I couldn't make you happy.
When you were a page, you didn't have to clean the dorm or take care of the practice tools like the other students.
The minotaur did not know what to do.
He could sink into shadows, too.
It would be great if they at least knew what was going on," Shikamaru remarked.
I blinked in surprise at the sudden escalation and Benno brought up the magic contract I had completely forgotten about.
She started to leave.
But your ability to deliver it in all confidence is somewhat amazing in its own right...you weirdo.
It would be surprising if the boy recognized the faces of everyone in town, even if he grew up here.
...I really don't have time to be thinking about this right now...
"Well, it can't be helped if we've been found out!
Walking around the streets... Of Maalt.
Maybe he'd learned the word from the media?
It was a very stereotypical religious image, like the painting of Col and Myuri that the church was planning on putting up.
You could even say that I am the brigade.
Are you trying to leave me out?"
"And yet you've already hit me," said Holo, holding his head off with one hand and glaring at him, her other hand firmly clamped around Lawrence's.
Not about her childhood.
Oh, right.
That was exactly why Dari Sauti ended up staying with the nearby Rutim clan when he wanted to contact Donda Ruu.
Therefore, please allow me to pull out of our deal."
I brought it up to my eye and peered into the distance.
"Yes, what is it?"
It's where the poster says the bounty is to be paid, so you might learn more there.
Thank goodness, she's still alive...

This way — it's easiest to get inside from the rooftop via the watchtower.
The voice and gestures he used were far too grand for a one-on-one conversation.
Its screens would be a lot darker now, since it never had any need to send out scout vessels, and in fact hadn't done so, according to our intelligence officer.
Masato interrupted her.
He'd done something similar for her once before, and it was an act of graciousness.
Not only was the man old enough to be her father, but he was an infamous lecher who was rumored to keep a harem of women in his having to repay her one day was kind of scary.
Skreeaaah!"
However, it was a matter of course that doing so would shorten the length of time one could enjoy them.
Pure.
Not trying to flatter myself...
Eina was always very conscious of her appearance.
(Understood!)
We've made it this far.
"The red sand is so preeeeety!"
"It's fine; others are attacking them as we wait.
"Now that you're a regular, you're entitled to a freebie," she says abruptly.
However—
"Anyway."
It felt like the hair all over his body was standing up.
"For us adventurers, they fill our bellies, and feed our spirit of adventure.
The elevator, it turned out, was not an elevator.
"The old lady says that she has potential—that a great strength slumbers within her.
The head of a lion, with razor fangs.
He figured he had next to no chance of victory in a straight-up fight.
Famous examples of what I mean include the "Young Girl/Old Woman" and the "Rabbit/Duck."
She was as beautiful as before, but I couldn't show that on my face in front of Louisa and everyone else.
"Well, I think taste is part of it.
He tried to open the glass sliding door, but it was locked and wouldn't budge.
"If we don't pursue our ideals, the things we obtain through compromise will be insignificant."
"The ladder we took and the rope the soldiers used to get down were both raised back to the surface!
"I will begin right away."
Reeling...Sora approached.
He makes sense.
"...But wouldn't it be easier to run if you weren't talking?"
I'd gotten far too soft.
"GoL is a completely automated system!
Owl told him the former alliance had been talking about rising up against the Empire once again.
The tip of his tongue worked its way down Shiiba's neck.
Mei blushed and continued.
I won't take responsibility for whatever happens next if you do."
This thing─spoke.
I'd also regretted it at the cake shop, of course, but that feeling only grew more pronounced over time.
The window of the carriage opened, and the plump face of the viceroy's wife peered out and smiled at us.
Greg and Gilbert were front-liners.
I don't have the funds to buy that many pairs of clothes.
"I'm sure she's just surprised at how easily she was forgiven."
"You just come to me when you need to make things happen.
For whatever reason, she was not dressed as a town girl, but instead wore her nun's robes.
"I guess I'll have her take flight."
The clown dressed all in white with a raven beak mask made a little bow, and Mare bowed back in the same way.
Can you do it?"
Reinhard was a handsome young man.
"Sir, I'm told he is being held in the South Centoria guard's office!"
She let out a long breath and assumed a super-cheerful expression.
"Considering the bother of turning them into convenient electronic data, I think they could be sold for more than real books, in fact."
Felicia asked.
"Shiro is skilled at controlling people with bugs.
My love isn't so cheap and selfish; the most important thing to me is my brother's happiness.
However, thanks to its unique Summon Monster skill, it could call out schools of megalodons, a large, shark-type monster, anytime it wanted.
They must be human.
Cold water was the eastern treatment for Demonitis.
Her mouth made her look just like an irritated waterfowl.
Abruptly, her vision grew sharper, and a premonition whispered insistently in her ears.
"But......
You should have just died!
His road to freedom.
I tried to stand up, but I just slumped forward again.
"What?"
"You have.
She'd uttered them with a completely serious expression on her face:
"On this side, swords and magic are useless...
"Anyway, um.
The kids all wore serious expressions, wavering slightly as they got into the praying position that Fran had taught them.
This was likely the only thing that hadn't changed.
Bzzt!
The shirikodama was cool and moist in Kappa-Kazuki's hands.
She felt like she had seen a horrible nightmare.
15.
It was also very dead, with eye sockets sinking deep into my skull.
Then, the eyes under his thick eyebrows sought Marcus.
Now, imagine that "someone else" is me, the little dweeb you look down on so much.
It's bad for you.
He didn't know that either.
Bearing everything without letting even a single word of lamentation rise to the surface, shouldering it all as if that was to be expected.
"Hm?"
The Iyo Deputy's children were there, too.
In any case, it was nice to see that she was as polite as she was cute.
However, just as he was about to open the door, a sound rang out.
Like Sakuta was starting to see the shape of the root cause.
Which meant— 
Will we meet again at the next one?
He looked like he wanted to say something more—maybe?—and then exaggeratedly bowed his head.
"Thanks, Feena!
He believed that he was always right and that everyone else was wrong.
"And the fact that all the Beings accept my control is because this is my domain.
"No, that was no cover—I am here for the Sword Saint.
Whimper... Sniffle... Sniffle...! "
And that is why I will give you that sagely knowledge when the time comes."
"Grrrr...!"
Rentaro had gotten off at the District 9 station he had stopped by when he visited the Katagiri Civil Security Agency.
I daresay you're a bit more grown than he, though.
Hrmph."
Don't take me so lightly!
It would be better than being shot, in fact.
With powered boats, the unified north could create a unified Vision.
With the energetic reply, the deliveryman walked briskly in front of Haruyuki.
"No...I still don't want to do it..."
"You're still saying that after everything that's happened?!
He looked down to see himself reflected in his little sister's jade eyes.
Adlet couldn't imagine what had happened.
Ura...?
And in addition, her vision darkened, making her feel like she was going to lose consciousness.
Mizuki's was one station from the center of Atsugi.
He was right: It was Discipline Reinforcement Week.
I thought for sure he'd be spitefully sleeping there, but no.
It wasn't that he was afraid someone would make use of the facility, or they got the results they were looking for and pulled out, or anything warm and fuzzy like that.
He lifted himself slowly.
In practice, the support never came fast or heavy enough.
With a heavy sigh I climbed aboard a streetcar, and, when it occurred to me that the sole ray of hope left to me in this world was none other than Horiki, a terrible wave of foreboding swept over me, sending shivers down my spine.
Don't do that.
"Yes, we were in the western building.
"We're getting ready right now, so wait just a little longer, please!"
If that is what you wish, Your Highness... Ricardo, that's all from me."
"That's certainly true."
I don't know about that!
"Have you...been here all this time?"
Tsuruya shook her head in response to him, seemingly annoyed at his lack of understanding.
I know I shouldn't stand out, but I hate that I can so easily rely on this method.
Consciousness returned to her cadaverous face.
Just like before, a ball of water took shape in the bear's mouth.
"Ngh!
"Please... Don't be lonely.
"Your Royal Majesty, I believe we should consider a diplomatic solution with Natra."
That provided Maki with a clear sense of who she was and where she belonged.
The hood must have been there to disguise the armor—likely aiming for a counter... Allan had fought enough people to be familiar with the tactic.
I'd also like to hear the legends of previous saviors."
His gaze fixed on the rug concealing the door.
Not one of them─could swing a sword to save his life.
Even with the assistance of Aiz's Airiel, Bete was no match for Levis's enhanced physical strength.
He vaguely recalled Tipsy circling over his head, joyfully yipping over his master's return.
At this rate, she was bound to throw herself into the sea.
The strongest existence!?
With an assumption that Tahara would take care of the gritty work, the Demon Lord was beaming with confidence.
While the scents that people preferred differed from region to region, surely this was an extreme example, Lawrence thought to himself as he sat across from Eve.
Well, I'm going to touch all I want!"
Good work."
Anyway, Bro, I remember you making stuff like this way back, too," Komachi said, snatching up a Gunpla box.
Mari put her nose to work.
It was even fun to slowly decipher his quite peculiar handwriting.
That is what I think.
"Come on, hurry."
As I'd expected, he was extremely susceptible to provocation.
You're still not dressed?
Though only slightly, I could feel my heartbeat speeding up.
The pontiff seems to have the same suspicions as I do.
"Or maybe I ought to say you were seriously off your rocker.
That's why I cannot have you acting violently in here.
Fuji-chan dump you?"
They looked at each other, wondering why they'd be getting any jewelry when they thought they were just getting the gems.
After pondering for a moment what to do, I moved away from Yano-san and unfurled my wings.
"Regardless, we have plenty of time on the road.
She averted her eyes awkwardly as Heidi pressed close to her.
Kurama opened fire, and Sousuke felt a dull impact through the middle of his torso; the bullet had gone in and out.
Then, after a brief silence, he said, "Naiz, take care of Miledi for me.
He settled onto his elbows.
Faster!
With a single word, a warm, but steady stream of wind flowed forth from the tip of Laura's staff, dispersing the creeping smoke.
Come here, Shiiba."
That must have meant the two of them had taken off their rings.
He knew that he shouldn't need to worry about that, given that this was a game, but he couldn't help his instincts.
I was happy for the sentiment, at least.
Back in modern Japan, I was a college student with otaku tendencies.
I will go back."
And yet, Moguzo never ran away.
Before the sharp row of teeth could find their target, they were severed from the mouth, and the head of the dragon went flying.
After all, the red light from the flame was made up of the same electromagnetic waves that carry thermal energy.
It was the boy who'd suddenly come along and stolen Arian's heart.
Her apology didn't really make sense, since we'd decided by majority vote...
"Um...if you're apologizing, then everyone who raised their hand is guilty of the same crime..."
"Ah-ha-ha, good point."
Having said that, she still had enough power to completely obliterate the entire boat, but her attentiveness had suffered.
Gardranda had created a smokescreen, but instead of using it, she was just moving around at supersonic speeds, making a mess of it and making it easy to see where she was.
"You're right.
She realized that she had not accomplished this alone.
Although, of course, the Nomi of now wouldn't agree to a copy/install of a suspicious program at Haruyuki's invitation, what with them being basically strangers at this point.
"Nonsense!
As a token of my gratitude, I'm releasing a couple of short stories on the novel site, Kakuyomu at https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054882231012.
"Yes, ma'am.
That's why we had all decided that the entire village would raise the child together, with love."
Why was that?
Mom alone paled and tightened her grip on her cup.
"Lord Kaito!"
When she held the ball ready, her eyes held none of her usual upbeat cheer.
"Does it not?"
"Payment for your services as a jester."
"Master!"
It would have been possible to regenerate the limb using his powers, but it would have left him vulnerable for a moment.
"There isn't much to obstruct the view or hide behind out at the riverbed..." Francette muttered to herself as she made her way toward a spot some distance away.
Despite his state, he still looked at his Bremen, and they looked back at him.
Schumacher was shocked to hear of this plan from the landesherr's aide, Rupert Kesselring.
"I'm terribly sorry.
"At present, a large-scale restructuring of military districts would be difficult.
The late lunches he would eat at one o'clock marked the dividing point.
"You mean...another Traverse Town?
It helped us out a lot."
Or that you'd get me before my eyes could adjust to the darkness?"
"...Yeah, I do.
It means the stuff a living creature is naturally equipped with.
"She set off on a trip with Ghislaine."
"Hodaka Morishima."
I felt like she had said that in the past, too.
The waiting room was already full of patients.
But I care not.
It would have been the first time Kunagisa and I had done breakfast with the entire group─but it never actually happened.
While Mahiru still looked a bit troubled, Amane cut the conversation off there.
I couldn't believe what I learned—he's old friends with that brown-haired kid in the Yellow Scarves, and what's this I hear about you being all buddy-buddy with him, Aoba?
The thought of such hot, full-bodied babes wearing lame old drawers is just plain depressing.
Even once the human Weist was old and grey, Excel would probably still be youthful and treating him this way.
Okudera-senpai narrows her eyes, as though she's searching distant memories.
We should still be able to return to our own time and place."
She and Lemon (who was dragging his injured leg) each supported the injured soldier on one side as they slid through the space between the helicopter and the wall.
"Hurry it up," said Gangster in a low voice.
The two courtiers of the Fifth Rank who had come with him led his horse through the mountains and mounted their own only when they had come to open country.
Cell phone in hand, she stood and made the call as she headed out of the meeting room.
I've already taken his humanity from him.
The room I slept in last night...together with Lord Simeon.
The Greater Noble's eyes began to glow red.
"It's not good that you forgot your chores, but thank you for being honest.
So I can't just scrape it away."
"
Wait...
Minalis Folce Quartz... you're the one who's going to die.
I wondered if Father, Mother, and my brother were safe.
I'm happy to tell you that the description they gave sounds a lot like Lord Dolne."
Wein looked forward for just a moment.
It even started to pour itself more when its cup was empty, and it ate whatever I was eating with my drinks too.
That said, the vassal weapons could sometimes pull some odd stuff too.
That was something the Butcher could say decisively.
But once there, he was asked whether he was going to be lending them money, and was then promptly ordered by the noble to hand over his coin.
And very suddenly she disappeared.
That skill—I thought I must have missed something when I looked at his status earlier.
"Er, no, I... if you want to know whether it's true, the fact is that I have no good evidence.
High Elf Archer shook her index finger gracefully as she chided Priestess.
"At times like this, it's better to eat some fruit and not think very hard at all...
Lizard Priest seemed to mull over his words, his eyes wandering the tavern.
Abliars don't even blink as they watch their friends and lovers succumb to the cruel hand of death.
"Geez, Dale, that's an awful tiny girlfriend you've got there."
He'll pick it up any minute now.
"But it's no big deal, right?"
I had fallen flat on my back in the middle of grass taller than me.
Right now, whether I live or die isn't my biggest concern.
Well over six feet tall and with the broad chest of a wrestler, Kiyohara had long, bleached hair that he tied back at the nape of his neck.
"I'm looking for a way to return.
She indicated the sofa, and I sat there.
She'd been saved by the power of the epic.
"He certainly has," Benimaru agreed.
Worthy of admiration, even," Xiaohui replied.
"So this is the total profit from today, and this is the cost of all the materials used.
Yamaji sat down in a garden chair.
I was finally found by a hunter, who rescued me, but I didn't know what to tell him...I didn't want to expose your plan.
a boy called out to us, fear apparent in his voice.
The white silk was stained crimson in no time.
"No, no, I am every bit as surprised.
Hey, what?!
Harumi agreed to Elfaria's idea and decided to try using her magic.
Connecting two fields of physical space together required several minutes of work, but it let you revisit any location you've been to before, making it pretty helpful.
A spriggan man came forward and said he would go and get it from his house.
Thinking, I entered the bathroom.
Aria knit her brows at hearing my tone of my voice, which had suddenly become that of a cool guy.
"I'm nothing compared to your birth father, though."
Ever since the day he decided to serve and protect the Fable family, Selva had never made a mistake when it came to his order of priorities.
He kept the lights off to limit whatever sources of heat he could, meaning that he sat in darkness, surrounded by red, green, and blue LEDs flickering in different patterns.
Its eyes widened at the shout from another human.
That was the first time they had been truly confronted with danger.
Kyoya let down his guard and turned to the horse and rider as nimbly as a skater gliding on ice.
"N-n-not at all...!
Finally, Aqua couldn't take it anymore.
"Then are you saying she's an angel, come down from the heavens?"
But he knew better than anyone that this speed--his reaction speed in a VR environment--was absolutely not something he had been born with.
"I am?"
"Understood!
Wridra felt as if she somewhat understood why he lost himself in those eyes.
"EHHH?"
She had said it was easy.
Tio swept her long black hair out of her eyes, her black kimono's sleeve fluttering back and forth.
But I'm still really stressed about it!"
Yuuto waved to her with his hand, calling her over.
sounded the Commandant 's voice.
It is..." I managed to say.
He couldn't pretend he wasn't scared or nervous.
And despite all this, Munechika still cared for him.
You mean to tell me I was dreaming or something?
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"An attack that precise would be impossible unless you don't mind me taking a little off the top in the process."
Mentally at least.
She did nothing but help me, and we weren't even kin."
Amane patted Hikari's head, stood up, and told her she'd be back with more ginger tea.
Despite her centuries of life, it seemed there were subjects not covered by the wisewolf's memory.
Firstly, his hair was dyed scarlet, and he had a dragon tattooed on his cheek.
Dark gently kissed the choker against my neck.
"Wh-what?
I knew how risky it was, but I turned around.
The strength drained from his legs, and he collapsed onto the ground.
At that comment, Yulia raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
"Oh-ho."
"If you say that with gentle eyes and a gentle voice, there's no way I'll say I can't, is there?
Wasn't their security a bit too tight?
"Why?
"Ahhh."
It was a huge electronics superstore bordered by the Keio long-distance bus depot.
"Rio, are you all right?"
Nephy's lips trembled as if she was unable to speak, and unable to bear it anymore, she buried her face in Zagan's chest and squeezed onto him tightly.
After drinking the bowl dry, he gave it back to Col.
She continued to pet the nearby beast as she sat on the ground.
Knowing she was saying dumb things did nothing to stop her mouth from running wild.
"Well, I had to get in contact with Ninomiya and the others somehow."
She was even starting to pull ahead of the others in terms of girliness.
Gunther corrected himself after reflecting on his own life and nodded.
She had no idea.
What the hell were you thinking!?"
I'm the one who took this task and got us in over our heads!"
These four items were things Minori had learned from Shiroe: the basics of party movement in dungeons.
You can fly!"
Proper speech was essential to a magician, since you wouldn't be able to properly enunciate spells otherwise.
She's an old acquaintance.
Just then Odaira-sensei, who had snuck up next to Mr. Bedhead, spoke in a calm voice.
I know you're here to observe, but the Sky Salon's not that big, so you should be able to get a good view of the whole place even if you're sitting comfortably.
He had felt like he had taken the first step down the wrong set of stairs.
"True, but that's just how people work.
The summons came just as it was starting to get to me.
She was eerily light, and her body was hot.
You're right.
That couldn't be helped, though—of course her memories would be foggy after 500 years of being sealed.
A faceless snake stared them down.
"What a pain..."
The two of them fell silent for a moment after that.
A remarkably pretty one.
"That will be somewhat difficult.
It seems to follow rules, but it doesn't at all.
Leave us alone!"
While small in number, the horde of monsters included dangerous ones like Dark Mummies, wrapped in black bandages, and Bloodied Wolves.
It was a model the men had never seen before.
I got the feeling it was uncommon to be completely ignored.
He turned to look at Arcus sympathetically.
Then, he turned his back on Selphy and began walking toward the garden.
If that "Venom" thing showed its face, his sniper cannon would have some things to say about it.
When she telepathically let us know she was ready, we all climbed up on her back and fixed ourselves in place.
Mustering her strength, Renko sprang at Eiri.
A cat jumped out of a room and scared him off.
These two...
"Master, this is Ellie-sama and Ruka-sama."
I entered the shop and was greeted by a slightly older, smiling girl....
Elin gave a small nod.
Love,
Original Mom.
I've heard talk about iron dolls that can move on their own and wagons that run without engines, but is that stuff really true?"
"Alice!
Thank you, Rin."
I do, but now that I am sealed off, I can access none of them.
"......"
He felt a suspicious, scornful glare stabbing into his side.
It would certainly make things easier to grasp if someone in on all this was next to him.
"Uhh, how do I even put this?"
The event will end with zero deaths, pon."
"Yah!"
"I sure do.
"You think he's wondering what he should do before the deadline?"
"Quit yer yappin', Amazonian thugs!
Still facing forward, she gave a quiet murmur.
–Fine, be like that.
Wow... What a cutie.
Bye."
Each reached out their hand, having bonded over the new respect they'd gained for each other.
"T-two!"
Horikita stood next to me.
I yell at Alice, boosting the strength assist setting on my power armor as high as it'll go.
It seemed as though the duke had wanted to keep Elliot from participating in the battle.
"Brother Glenn, when did the Draconess become your little sister?!"
Chrysos hugged her sister tight. "
We were protecting our vast nation, rising up as a world superpower, and rushing toward the end of the war with the Outer Ones and demons... That was what I remembered.
As soon as the doors parted, Kamijou and Stiyl dove out onto the platform and headed straight for the nearby exit.
This story was clearly centered on the future, which was something I personally didn't know a whole lot about.
Was she joking, or did she really think I might have had a fever?
To top it all off, the monsters were few and weak, as it was a G-Rank dungeon.
"It'll be a pain, but I also don't think I can withdraw at this point."
Are you alone?
Yet much of his concern had been allayed by Chisha's arrival and stated goal.
It can't be helped.
I thought it was oily, but this stuff really burns!"
"Well then, next time you're back, please come stay with us again!"
"Lady Aisha is the paragon of motherhood!"
"God it stinks..." The older Garney brother grumbled, agreeing with his younger brother.
But Wein was royalty.
Ninym placed an open hand on her chest.
This fragile girl and her brittle soul were fully ready to bear the brunt of dealing with this crisis.
Along the ceiling were thin, metal walkways and crisscrossing stairs.
But that's eight silver too much."
They probably enjoyed Claire's reactions.
Is there anything you want?"
"My name is Yoshihiko.
They were a major monster type.
When had the illusion started?
"...Were you just making fun of me in your head?"
I had almost no clue what anything he said meant.
"That's the Holy Eldant castle," Minori-san, standing next to me, said.
His hands were trembling.
Or should I say, a devil."
She returns to her father's residence.
"Also... Let's take a day off after I get back."
"Hmm...seems like it got to me again.
They'd learned a lot from a single sparring match.
"Let's go, then.
"You're right!
"N-No, you only just told me about this, and I haven't decided on a dish or anything yet... And is there any point at all to whispering right now?"
"Well, those are the details... You guys wanna take this?"
Like Mika and worms, there probably wasn't a particular reason.
He considers himself a decent fighter.
Lin America.
So then, this building--no, school--is the headquarters of your Society.
"Hrgh!"
More importantly, how were your results?"
The Urvashi base commander, Vice Admiral Winckler, was missing.
Not only had they been chosen by Ehit, their, bad-at-sports, bad-at-school self.
And with impressive strength, the man pulled Lawrence toward his house.
She smiled, sobbed, wiped her tears away, and cried again.
As Suimei was taking in the sights, the girls who had all been enjoying themselves while swimming around were now starting to get excited about something else.
I was so focused on chasing Master Laut that—Oh!
"I hear you, but you've gotta admit that he made a pretty big mistake today."
There was no way she could ever do it.
But it's not a langorous sensation—more a feeling like water rising up out of a flowing spring.
Work was finally over and he was leaving the fitness club when he heard someone shouting in the parking lot.
Unfortunate though it is, there's nothing left for me to mold."
A gust of wind blew by and, with a dry rustling, an invisible blizzard of flowers was carried away.
You're a Bureau of Astrology Priestess of the Six Blades, right?"
So far, I haven't done that."
The park with the unpronounceable name.
The man who had been Arlen's superior was no longer there.
Fran nodded and slowly closed her eyes.
Raising a cacophony, it was a single-seat battle car that stopped right at the bottom of the slope.
The men around the table all grinned and drank from their mugs in unison.
"I-I'm saying, if you like boobs so much, then I'll let you touch mine!"
I thought it was strange from the beginning.
I was acting like an atheist who traveled around to different shrines and temples praying to whatever god would listen to me as soon as I found myself in need of help.
I'm the one who's going to eventually succeed King Arthur and become the ruler of the world!
I will not breathe a word of it myself."
The truth is, though, that people like me are invaluable when there aren't enough real stuntmen to go around only because we can take a nasty beating.
It was a continuous, rapid-fire bombardment.
Atobe, I seriously thought you were gonna die back there..."
Her armor was broken, leaving almost her entire top half It wasn't unthinkable for him to have a Golem somewhere for security purposes.
<<Trois!
What should I do?
Sorry for all the trouble."
Tinasha was still floating in midair, and he hugged one arm around her waist.
Ah well, it's fine.
"Pixie 01 to CP.
"Y-Yeah," she replied, hastily lowering her eyes.
Not to the lieutenant colonel, of course, but to his horse.
Should they seek a tactical victory over the empire at this point, partly as a way to secure the trust and boost the morale of the republican agitators in the former alliance territories?
Let them run free for the moment.
She knew the back streets and secret passages where someone like Lud would get lost.
My actions weren't brave; they were foolish and rash.
The Chubu Airport had prevented the area from sinking into economic decline when the sea shipping industry in the area had dried up.
It was ironic.
Vaults, phantoms, and Relics all materialized in the same way.
Of course, Reina and the others had already had this explained to them in a story Mile told about a group of individuals who had become unemployed after their employer attempted to murder someone in the palace and then broke into that person's home and perpetrated a massacre.
Either way, nobody settled in the newly renovated world until Etlei — the third Borl Sufagnaum — commenced colonization.
She couldn't believe it.
And after she had just fired the best arrow of her life, she could easily let her guard down for the last one.
It's the current trend."
"That's the very last thing.
Size wasn't an issue.
"They asked you to prevent the other neutral faction's nobles from interfering, and not to mobilize your troops.
"Shall we consider this a promising outcome?"
When she looked up, he was smiling down on her...
For you people..."
Haruhiro wanted to chase after the departing Mr. Unjo and ask him two or three more things.
When they engaged in war.
Masato filled Wise and Medhi in on their side of things, and the girls explained what had happened to them.
What really matters is whether anything really bad is going to happen, that 'really big one' you mentioned.
"Pay him no mind.
They couldn't let her overhear.
Renard simply looked on, waiting for them to continue.
"GGGRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
He even sounded like someone from a kung fu movie.
Col's wide, intelligent eyes moved, and Lawrence could tell he was trying to divine the truth of Holo's threat.
"Perhaps my faith or practice is lacking, because I might claim to have felt it or claim to have never felt it and both statements would be true."
He proceeded to take off his shoes and flop backwards.
That's right.
But the neutral faction's nobles mobilizing their territories' soldiers and stationing them in the capital changed the situation drastically.

He artfully used Trap Dismantling while steadily whittling away at the monster.
"That is untrue.
"...No, wait...If a knife will work, then..."

As these thoughts were on her mind, there was a cry ahead of her.
There was an even higher special rank, S, and it was the rank I was given after taking the entrance exam.

But what Lawrence envied was neither her flowing locks nor the expensive robe wrapped about her body.
In the end, it was Claudia who came to his rescue: "We're all presently fighting to be the one, you see."

"If it matters not which wind sounds the bamboo flute,
Then let its note be forever with my children.
...Allow me to correct myself: it was extremely displeasing.
He didn't know.
"Why are you so into this, Oswald?"

"You have done me a great favor.
"The hell are you doing up there?!"
At the announcement, the participants begin wolfing down their fried meat.
Shouryuu aside, Lezarik was a Cleric from a major guild.
Beet-red, Tama-chan turned toward me, pointed aggressively my way, and snapped, "You don't ask that kind of question to girls!!"
I glared at them as my body began changing.
"Of course.
Silence ruled over the apartment building once more.
Not just that, though.
We had our own rules down here.
You and I understand that, but the higher-ups who control our forces don't.
I predicted he would do this--it's a basic tactic most vampires use.
Roin asked anxiously.
Touya, go up the next stairway on the right!"
If I wanted an obedient girlfriend who did everything I asked, I'd get a doll.

Endless Crimson Rain."
On top of that, her already superhuman ability to escape combos had somehow gotten even better.
There were five altogether—four boys and one girl.
Haruto... can you give... frypan? "
I made them considerably tougher than the Upper Construct's shell.
He knew this girl.
I asked.
It's nikujaga!
The high-quality bookbinding only added to my awe.
"Um, Lloyd...?
"May as well speak up," she muttered as she kept her eyes on the back of Shirou Ashiya's head.
"He wants to have one sorcerous device of his consume the other...!"
I didn't think Muu could handle one at this point.
"Yes!
"I don't get what you mean!"
With a knowing look, he said to Subaru, "If I may?"
It was true that a naval conflict played to the advantages of a maritime state like the Nine-Headed Dragon Archipelago Union, but the kingdom had their secret weapon, the wyvern-bearing island-type carrier, Hiryuu.
"The unit's split into groups," she said.
For people in our social stratum, their expectations were clear: "You're totally harmless, but if possible, don't go anyplace where we can see you."
"If things get out of hand, don't hesitate to dispose of her."
It was essentially like one giant candle in all, sending waves of flickering light around the room.
"Oh...
Bligh cried, jumping between them, and the tip of a boot shot up at his solar plexus.
"Haha, look at all of them hanging in the air like that."
"And why's that?"
"What brings you here all of a sudden, Petore?
Then there is nothing more to discuss.
Naturally, I would want a man with superior physical strength for a swordmaster.
It looked like Kuzaku would be best advised to ready himself and stay put, too.
From what I can tell, she switches between her countless shields all the time, so the item might've not fit the situation.
I knew that from the start."
Simply killed.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't want to know, but there's one thing I do know.
At Miss Helmina's words, the two pistols glowed.
That much was obvious.
I don't get it."
The names of four people were written on the mailbox to which the letter was addressed: SUGIYAMA, Fumihiko, Kyoko, Takehiko, Akihiko.
It was the man she had met on her way to school.

Igarashi and Yanagi quit, too.
Since the flavors would end up mixing, I prepared separate ramekins for the dressing and mayonnaise.
As it continued to increase, the colors changed to turquoise, leaf green, then finally jade green — so quite a large amount of essence was used.
Kotatsu had been given one of the deep-sea fish heads and he was crunching down on it, bones and all.
As a result, we're limiting your access to the requisition system."
Kajiwara reached into his suit coat pocket and took out a small flask.
I mean, who doesn't?"
Well then, I wonder who has come here and with what purpose," Kyoraku said anxiously, then gave instructions to Okikiba, his other assistant captain.
I think the same goes for Izaya.
C'mon, the meeting's just about to start."
Even his strongest subject was weaker than me.
Halbert, who had been watching them with a dumbfounded look on his face, came back to his senses, and realized he was getting in the way.
She envied the strength of his heart.
"What?
Freida put on a very merchant-esque smile.
"I'm worried about letting you two go out alone after all, s bloom within me, even as my heart was nearly overwhelmed by the collective consciousness.
Aerith couldn't help but exclaim upon witnessing this unbelievable spectacle.
"No...way..." Rika whispered, still on her knees in a puddle.
There was a little tension in Takasagi's left arm as he swung his katana.
Still, encouraged by having done some damage, Eckhart swung his claymore once more.
"Lord Simeon isn't the kind of person who would forget what's at stake."
"Good evening," I said indifferently in my coldest voice.
Now, I take this... and mix them!"
"Do you know what would make Haruto happy?"
Yae's weight overwhelmed me.
"Tempting, but during the season, the top players are always working."
In that moment, a new friendship was born.
Marching an army forward was relatively simple, but once one wanted to retreat, things suddenly became that much more complicated.
"We'd better save this for later."
As with all of his letters, I replaced it with a forgery.
Now then, please cook the meat lickety-split for Teacher~."
I'd never act fawning, thank you very much.
With utmost effort, I subdued the trembling that was trying to come out of my body, answering with a smile, "Yes, of course."
Adults weren't fair.
Jagan trembled in humiliation, shooting a glare at Kojou.
"Lady Luna!"
"I might be the strategist of the Fire Sisters, but in the end the Fire Sisters is all about Karen.
They had anticipated the fall of the Empire.
I put distance between us again.
After rushing over, I shake her body, but she doesn't reply.
"Surely because I came here frequently.
"I'm just being wrung dry right now.
Acting polite is a no-go too!"
"My my, that was quite the feat."
The fort?
"...Actually, yesterday's pillow fight might have given me an idea about how to move forward with that."
After cleaning up, my wife, Thereza, plopped herself down opposite me with a sigh.
Olfen gave a snort through his nose, as if to say, "Well, a least one of them has some common sense," when—
"Oh look, you're got some dirt on your nose."
"It has been long enough... We... simply want to die..." He forced the words out.
"Yes."
Fuze and I had no issue with this, so we wound up settling down in the Baron's study once again.
Emi placed the newspaper on top of the shoe compartment, slipped on some sandals, then went out to the first-floor corridor.
I must use all means at my disposal to perfect it.
Sorry about that."
However, he was now in an unfamiliar district.
W-wait, calm down!
I owe you so much... And I am your wife."
Regina's voice rang out.
It hurt to keep a secret from my partner, my friend.
"Here."
In that moment, I realized something strange.
"4,752 yen... Just now, did you get what he just said?"
Yuric had threatened to make Jay into slime food, and Franz only had good intentions when he punished Jay with the Cursed Tooth to pacify Yuric.
"Good question," I said, thinking back over the movie.
Unlike Leelan and Eku, who were already sleeping, he was wide awake and appeared still ready to play.
Once the losses become too much to handle, once you start thinking you'll never get any better and give up, that path will close.
"You damn sissy!
"Rudeus..."
It was my last requirement that led to both of them scolding me.
Aiko said with a sigh.
The fact that we were actually dressed like adventurers this time probably made a difference too.
The only problem is we won't be able to remove it once it's combined with Melissa's knife...
Leave the budget for later, she meant.
You have no idea how much trouble it was to get that thing...
Mei Misaki never appeared in the classroom during this time, either.
If a player couldn't walk long enough that he needed a wheelchair, it wasn't really a game anymore.
An icy cold sensation pierced her wrists and shot through her bloodstream.
This time, Kyousuke was baffled by his own emotions.
Some were thrown into the water by explosions on their ships, and some fell accidentally from the bridges, while others jumped of their own accord just to get away from the pain.
I'll away in this mountain of spice, right?
One of those cars blared its horn.
I don't know!"
"It was.
"No!
I realize that Ms. Deen is right in front of me and looking extremely ill. Zozo's holding her in her arms.
Lawrence couldn't respond, and Holo plunged ahead, accelerating with terrifying speed.
The queen watched me quietly.
I asked.
"I didn't come across anything particularly unusual.
Harvey didn't even want to imagine what kind of mottled mincemeat a person would turn into if they got dragged through those gnashing teeth.
Maki watched Yurika with an icy glare, but there was still a fake smile plastered on her face.
"The priests used up what mana they had healing the wounded, so they're resting now.

Despite the loss, The Rabbit hadn't given up.
In the mountain region, which is inhabited by golem-type monsters that have high life force, the valley is the foremost place to level up in Ruxe Kingdom.
"Ah, Ruth-san!
I'm putting an end to all of this.
He would never say it out loud, but Enju had grown very pretty recently.
Brought her back to her senses, Lauren instantly turned a bright shade of red as she realized she'd slipped up.
"Oh well.
She certainly had a much easier time than Maki, who had to try to imitate the carefree Yurika.
"They've already started invading the Independent Nations, declaring themselves rulers of a new world.
At the same time, the priest moved back.
At any rate, she was the favorite of the House of Zoa.
One only begins thinking about their parents when they become parents."
The testers' faces were pale with nervousness.
"I won't come down!"
Lady Erisu added, "And I think I'll go for the strawberry and chestnut Swiss roll that you concocted, Mizuki.
Had I the opportunity, I'd protect you with this world.
"Isn't that letter a little odd?
I wanted to understand, but it was such a harsh reality.
I have come to the same conclusion as you, Young Su...
"Seriously?
He suddenly sprang into motion, as though sensing her hesitation.
Her bunny ears hopped up and down with joy.
Lithisia wanted to collect all seven orbs and then drive Zeleburg from her homeland, but whether they'd actually get that far... Well, Alan wasn't sure.
"Farewell, my God, my king, my people—and farewell, my prince."
Harvey looked up to see Nana's mother running up to them from the trailers—she must have heard the crying—so he abandoned his conversation with the radio.

However—"
A second later, Mikage Okiyama grew hazy within Yukina's field of vision.
I finally beat you, bro!"
I had even observed that his abnormality is getting worse.
"
Snuggled into bed, we can't stop talking about the young lady Elizabeth, also known as Drills, and sometimes Drillizabeth.
No way that's the reason.
Given that she was an elf, I felt quite certain she was even older than she seemed.
"What do you think of that man who came from Meraldia?"
"Huh?"
Generally, for how expensive silver weapons were, their blades were softer than iron ones, so they weren't geared for long-term use.
How can I help you?"
Arman asked.
Ogi and her mystery analogies─but maybe her example was the easiest to understand.
"Your Highness, given the situation, I believe I had best leave you be."
"You don't mind if I decide after hearing your explanation, do you?"
"The long blade's the parent, and the short one's the kid," she explained.
"By 'full capacity,' do you mean...dropping all of us Heavenly Kings on the same battlefield?"
Still hovering in midair, I let go of the sword hilt and reached out toward the light with both hands.
At first I wondered why, but it wasn't long before I learned the answer: the chill of the breeze against my cheeks made me realize I was crying.

I don't detect any body armor.
It seems to have loosened up, oddly enough...I have no idea how my eyes could completely contradict themselves.
Domon Edogawa saw the news from a business hotel he was staying in while on his business trip.
The breakneck atmosphere seemed to melt away into something much more mellow and exhausted.
There wasn't much bleeding, but his shirt was still wet from the dampness of fresh blood.
"Roger that.
Her words were decisive.
The hostesses are nuns working part time, so no touchy, no feely.
"Nnnnn...!"
"Huh?
Wridra seemed to be in quite a good mood and put her arms around the driver's seat.
Loki, who had been left out, had an unamused expression, but Alus paid her no heed as he brought a cut piece of meat to his mouth.
Flowers bloomed along the sides of the roads, filling the air with a pleasant fragrance.
And really, I couldn't wait to see what they came up with.
The emperor was stirred by the deepest of emotions.
"The incidents at the Academy were fueled by the general populace's resentment of the ruling class.
Shinji asked.
"I don't want to!"

He couldn't let his family suffer because of him, so for the sake of their safety, he decided that he'd wear his hood.
They were speaking Russian—the familiar visitor Egor, as well as the brusque owner of the sushi shop, who asked, "You said the other day that these are people we don't know?"
They kept their distance from Benimaru and Ranga, fanning out their formations so they weren'tank, almost musty.
The baron didn't overlook this opportunity, of course.
Is my house okay to have it at?
Miyako shook her head.
The one reaction I had to that...was nostalgia.
Nuwagrahhhh...!"
My shriek didn't even sound like a voice.
First, determine where I was.
"Of course.
He bit down on his lips from the searing pain, and a moan escaped his lips.
Who in the colonies is he?
I am Lefay Lugan, second imperial princess of the United Kingdom of the Crater Isles.
If we conduct a raid, it's best to do it under the cover of night so we aren't spotted.
We need to come up with a system to decide who gets to spend time with the doctor!"
Every permutation of fists, elbows, shins, toes, and heels tormented my body all over in quick succession.
...?!
Next to her, Doan sounded stunned as he said, "Sylvia, that will break the ring."
"Do you know her?"
They were human-shaped, true, but bent at the knees into a crouch, with their arms folded menacingly over their legs.
I'm sorry, but we have to cancel that plan," Maria Otonashi interrupts.
"But sometimes i think about how arrogant it is to say that you don't work well in groups, too─what you're saying is that you don't belong with the people around you.
Or perhaps it'd be more correct to say it would soon be three whole years.
What are you gonna do, call your angel?
"..."
The room was empty.
The unique sweetness of a soft drink filled my mouth.
I won't do anything bad."
The reply was late in coming.
If you don't do anything, nothing gets started, so the conclusion is you have to do it, right?
"Where in the force?"
The whisperers were rather upset.
"The public pool, obviously."
But we'll have to bear that shame.
I sailed across the room.
Kneeead, kneeead.
It's also water-resistant.
All I did was give her my honest opinion.
The blue flames are a timer.
They're definitely Homunculi!
Back when Ike had involved me in the whole gambling thing, I'd exchanged contact information with some people.
After confirming this, Shiroe ran toward Touya, who was waving at him.
"Why not show up that way in the first place?
He turned slowly back toward Holo and asked her a single question.
However, there was one problem.
Get out of here."
If she really could, she'd be sounding a death knell for every last tailor in town.
From a normal perspective, that means I'm quite strong, doesn't it?
They had set off on this plan as instructed by Cardinal Cronklum, but they hadn't made as much progress as they thought they would.
He only needed to buy time, so he'd be fine as long as Koutarou didn't take him out.
I think that's just my nature.
That's possible, too, and in fact, we are eating for free.
"I'm gonna have to apologize to her later...
He's wrong, right?
As I pondered over such things, Lily kissed me until she was satisfied.
Now's the time.
If anything, Sinon was forcing him into her philosophy.

"All we can say is probably," said Tatsuya.
Rising slowly, it took hold of the mouthpiece of the speaking tube installed by the headboard.
Shea let out a cute yell as she tackled Tio, who grunted as she took it head-on.
I couldn't blame Wridra for feeling that way.
There were also Special A and S ranks, but being an A alone made people treat you quite a bit differently.
No matter how quick someone was, the process always took a few seconds, which ensured that if they needed to use weapons or ammo immediately, they needed to carry it.
I don't really mind being alone, since I'm a loner anyway, but having a shop stranded like that would definitely put us in the red.
Yes, even Liliana should have had something she wanted.
"Oh, scary.
"Wonderful summary, Lady Angel.
I don't really know about education or school stuff.
So wait, my mana's light blue?
Next, I turned to Ludwin.
No damage."

I'm going to try casting my magic using a crystal..."
"You don't have one of your own, even though you can use magic?
The lights were off.
We have absolutely no intention of causing damage to the Nation of Darkness!"
"That...and now I know something else, too."
Just then, Miu's body bobbed away from me.
The first thing she felt when she woke up was fatigue worse than running twenty miles nonstop, and roiling nausea.
Toki screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Jesse," she whispered, then drew a deep breath.
Let's go over there next!
Basara, who leaped back in surprise, and Kagura, who was correcting her stance, took aim at the newcomers.
"...Yeah," Tiese agreed shakily.
"Mii?!"
His amber eyes became bloodshot as it felt like she was trying to crush his fist.

Either Azusa trusted in his abilities or simply considered it a pain to handle.
(...Guess the dream's almost over.)
Finally, she manages to scramble back up to solid ground.
And after that, I will do it again...and again after that.
"Is there an exit?"
"Like nectar, it is!"
In a tremulous voice, she asked, "Is that you...Akihiko...?"
"Impossible!
It was obvious the two of them were close, although I'd barely had an opportunity to see them interact before this.
So if you see a few standout titles that get released all at once, even if they're a tiny percentage of overall output, these clueless idiots go 'Oh, light novels are all about this.'
"M-Mine?"
"You're sure?
What was even more eye-catching was the earring attached to her left ear.
If you are searching for the pair who joined us for lunch, and you initiate an official transaction with us in our secondary capacity as an information brokerage, we can supply you with information."
They wouldn't have the added flair of the sky, sea, and sightseeing anymore for the school trip, but if he were with his friends, he would be having more than enough fun.
"It would be good if there was a way we could have Mr. Bedhead be more accepted among his peers," I said.
That reckless, suicidal operation from which there can be no return."
On that point, he found an awful lot to regret about his personal tastes, and it was hard not to get discouraged.
They'd escaped the most dangerous situation, so Kamijou thought they were safer than he let on.
"Fight hard!"
A restaurant will not cause friction with the Baker's Guild, for instance.
"Yeah, I know.
Aha-ha-ha," Morte replied.
The demon father chose his words very carefully.
As it was, the time was too long not to think about anything, yet too short for her to really sort out how she was feeling.
Then I'll be off..."
"Oh, Leo."
Frankly speaking, even amateurs can be a decent fighting force if they follow the instructions, so in that sense, it's useful for armies created through mass conscription.

Subaru's flailing arms could not reach Elsa, and with her flowing limbs she struck Subaru with the blunt side of her blade, breaking his left shoulder.
Get it off!
The guy making that sound goes and sits in a chair as if nothing has happened at all.

He could use the money he had to head north or west, until he arrived in some conflict zone or another.
They were too occupied with the battle to notice that everything from their knees downward was enveloped by a layer of white ribbon.
Thus, the deep question that she had asked me was quite convenient for my purposes, if I could speak the truth here now.
"Four years ago, a warrior came to stay at her house.
A part of her felt the loss.
"Okay!
For an instant we both stood there, each with his sword stuck through the other.
The man smirked and casually answered her, "Do not concern yourself with her.

I understand what you are talking about.
I got to the bathroom; took care of business, casual and content; and went over to the sink to wash my hands.
Leafa's temples were twitching now.
"Who wouldn't buy all of them?!"
Alice felt like she'd seen him show that look in her past.
Mr. Naofumi can't attack, so we'll have to twist that power into defense," Raphtalia acknowledged.
There was certainly plenty not to like about Salua, but as long as they were with him, it didn't seem like it would be too hard to escape from here.
Leonhardt gave a speech as he met the eyes of all the other members of the incursion one by one.

"How was that?"
Whatever this "Fire Ball" of Higashida's actually was, it appeared to have a diameter of about ten meters.

I'm pretty sure Dogg was supposed to be one of the strongest guys in the second regiment.
Julianus I asked him with a raised eyebrow.
Her shyness was not at all unattractive.
"Oh, I definitely agree with that," Dortin yelled, clinging to the windowsill.
The flower on her head was completely wilted brown.
And then there was the incitement.
We'll take him to the guild.

"?!"
Everyone was playing around with firecrackers.
Just like the day before, throwing damage was applied, and the health gauge that had dropped more than 30 percent in the initial impact decreased another 30 percent.

Given the Common Vezian we are speaking, I hardly expect we can be strangers now.
You can't block any of these abilities unique to the races.
"Yes, ma'am!
"Hello?"
If, at the very end of it all, he acknowledged someone's death as right...
...then Kamijou couldn't bear the guilt from wielding a fist himself.
The water passed through the fence and drained down the stairs in a waterfall.
In the end, if you were to name one thing I'd done, "I delegated tasks to people who could handle them" would be it.
"Basically, it's when holy and evil energies mix, which then gives birth to power capable of going toe-to-toe with the Gods themselves.
Kyoya's eyes were drawn to the bike.
I decided it'd be wise for Yae and the others to prepare necessary countermeasures.
Chiyome and the other mountain people—beastmen, as the humans called them—didn't have a treaty to protect them like the elves did.
That was a rather refreshing response for Lain.
