“Kasakurōji-san, this is the very first event our student council is organizing. You don’t want it to look too shabby, right? It’s a matter of face—for the council and for the Academy. The instructors are fully backing us. If we pull it off well, we’ll really make a name for ourselves.”
As student council vice-president, Kasakurōji Mitsugorō stared expressionlessly at Nobu, who was trying his best to win sympathy.

Nobu hadn’t expected Kotetsu Isane to be so direct.
He paused before answering, “As long as it’s something I haven’t learned yet, I’m always willing to study it.”
Isane tilted her head slightly at his response. That sounds like a yes, right?
She smiled softly. “I’ve read your file. Your Zanpakutō is Kaidō-type, isn’t it?”
“It should be,” Nobu replied. “I only recently awakened it, so I haven’t figured out the full extent of its ab...

For Slowbro, [Mega Evolution] was a brand-new sensation—something it had never experienced before.
Now completely enveloped by Shellder, Slowpoke lay steeped in digestive fluids that were oddly warm and cozy. It felt... secure. Blissfully secure.
Above the battlefield, Crobat’s wings glowed with a deep violet light.
“[Cross Poison]!”
The attack landed squarely on Slowbro’s armored shell. It left an X-shaped mark—but did no ...

“August and Koga have stepped into the arena!”
“One’s a rising star who defeated Cynthia at the opening match of the tournament; the other, a top contender for Johto’s Elite Four. What kind of sparks will fly between them?”
“Let’s wait and see!”
It was clear the League’s official commentators knew exactly how to build hype.
But—
“Rising star…”
Koga glanced at August, twitching slightly at the corner of his mouth. He was having a ...

Hearing Cynthia’s suggestion, August spread his hands. “I’m not like you, already part of the Masters Eight. I’m still in the Ultra Ball tier—I’ve got to keep competing!”
For August—who had long since stopped caring about his standing in the academic world—research papers meant little.
Just thinking about writing one gave him a headache.
Cynthia seemed to consider this. “Then I’ll write it,” she offered. “You can be listed as the second aut...

Peace had lasted for many days now.
When no Spirits appeared, Shidō and the others lived as ordinary students, preoccupied with schoolwork.
The chaos once stirred by Westcott and Ellen had been put to rest — both defeated by Mélusine.
Kurumi Tokisaki had shown up once in that time. She’d come looking for Honjō Nia. Back when Kurumi sought Mélusine’s help, she’d hinted at needing Nia for something afterward.
If not for Kurumi’s earlier plea, Mélusine migh...

“Mmmgh… it’s so good… so good…”
Tears streamed down Honjō Nia’s face as she shoveled food into her mouth, one bite after another. Emotion overwhelmed her, and glistening droplets rolled down her cheeks.
Mélusine, on the other hand, could only respond with a blank stare.
“Really? It’s just a pancake.”
“But it’s really delicious…”
Nia wiped her tear-streaked cheeks with her sleeve, voice trembling with gratitude.

Unlike Mélusine, who had resented her own school days, Shidō Itsuka didn’t seem to mind going to school at all.
On reflection, that made perfect sense.
Japanese high schoolers started classes around 8 a.m. and were usually done by 3:30 p.m. Shidō didn’t participate in any after-school clubs either, which meant he even had enough time to cook dinner for all the Spirit girls after school.
What had Mélusine’s high school life looked like? She’d had to be on the trac...

Mélusine wasn’t particularly surprised by Izayoi Miku’s bold declaration.
She knew full well just how deep Miku’s yuri tendencies ran.
After all, this was the same girl who, in the original work, had proposed the theory: “Kissing Shidō Itsuka is the same as indirectly kissing every Spirit girl.” A yuri monster through and through.
Come to think of it... Mélusine recalled hearing a rumor once — supposedly, the author of Date A Live originally ...

Mélusine wandered alone through the halls of the Fraxinus.
Yes, once again, Mélusine had snuck out of the infirmary. If Itsuka Kotori found out, she’d definitely give her trouble again.
But this time was different—Mélusine had a perfectly valid reason. She was escaping… from Honjō Nia.
Mélusine’s body was perfectly fine, and yet Honjō Nia insisted on looking after her—and even showed up in a maid outfit, of all things.

The long-haired girl furrowed her perfectly shaped brows and said quietly:

Kuroba Akira snorted at once, his tone dripping with mockery.
“At this point, you still care about preserving your chastity and dignity? Do you even have that luxury?”

She didn’t get angry. Instead, his words seemed to make her fall deeper into thought.

No response at all.

Kuroba Akira had no idea when exactly he’d acquired the talent.
Had it been imprinted during that handshake just now?
Either way, what mattered was that now, he had a talent.
And in this moment, he finally understood what it felt like to possess one.

The top priority now was digging up all the undiscovered gold.
In other words—those hidden geniuses who had talent but lacked the training or skill to realize it.
And ideally, they’d be people already struggling with something—only then could Kuroba Akira strike while the iron’s hot.

As he sipped his cola, Higashigumo Sugi went over the situation in his mind.
Since entering high school, Yuigahama Yui had started experimenting with makeup and fashion. Her appearance had changed quite a bit.
You could tell from her makeup—it still had that slightly clumsy, novice feel.
Higashigumo didn’t have much personal experience with makeup, but he’d been around it often enough at work to know. Yuigahama’s style wasn’t refined yet; she hadn’t found the loo...

“Ah... um.”
Yuigahama Yui blinked her wide eyes.
What kind of expression was she supposed to wear in a moment like this?
Fortunately, Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t seem concerned with her reaction. She continued speaking, composed as ever.
“It probably started around the upper grades of elementary school. The boys around me started having feelings for me. And that’s never really stopped since.”
Instinctively, Yuigahama glanced at the only boy in the room....

“Does anyone else, aside from you, have the same plushie?”
“It was handmade by my friend Kaori from the Crafts Club. Only she has one that’s kind of similar,” Yuigahama replied, pulling up a photo on her phone. In it, a smiling girl held a nearly identical plushie. “But the embroidery is different.”

The same girl who had, just the day before, spoken with such haughty certainty was now gripping the pole with both hands, her body trembling as she tried to lift her feet off the ground.
The moment their eyes met, the redness in Yukinoshita Yukino’s cheeks, already there from the strain, deepened to a flushed pink like snow touched by morning light.
