"Yuu, are you sure it’s okay to just leave Kyo like that?"
Oga, having been sent off by Sakiko, now stood at the register, chatting with Kikukawa Yuu.
"Hmm? What’s up with my dear little sister now?" Yuu popped open a can of soda. It was originally meant for Kyo, but since she’d bought so many, sneaking one for herself wouldn’t hurt.
"Kyo’s energy seems a little off today—kind of subdued." Oga rested her chin on her fingers, recalling the past hour. As she worked...

Sakiko’s smile grew even more dangerous. Anyone else would’ve flinched at the sight of it, but unfortunately, Kikukawa Kyo’s once keen instincts barely picked up on the warning signs.
"Kyo, it’s time to get up. You’re seriously interfering with Miss Oga’s and my work."
The moment Sakiko switched to her formal tone, Kyo realized something was off. Does she really not want to hear about Taki that much?
"Are you mad? Because of Taki?" Kyo blinked at her. Sh...

Kikukawa Kyo lay beside Sakiko, her half-lidded eyes lazily watching her.
"What are you suddenly talking about? 'Source of all evil' hardly sounds like a compliment," Sakiko sighed, clearly exasperated, yet her hands moved gently, pulling Kyo’s rumpled shirt back into place.
Kyo squirmed slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable. As Sakiko adjusted her shirt, her thumb would occasionally graze against Kyo’s stomach. Kyo’s skin was soft and sensitive, and the light brushing sent ...

As usual, Sakiko arrived at Kikukawa Bookstore twenty minutes early to prepare for her shift. Her routine involved checking the day's tasks, prioritizing them, and planning out her time accordingly.
By doing this, she could complete her work efficiently and free up as much time as possible for reading and studying.
It wasn’t just books about music—since she planned to attend Haneoka High School, an academically rigorous institution with scholarships on the line, she needed to ...

Even Albedo didn’t quite know how to explain it.
It felt real, and yet it wasn’t. It looked and functioned like a Vision, but lacked the defining trait of a genuine one—the presence of a wish.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Bai couldn’t sit still anymore.
Zhongli didn’t seriously give me a real Vision, did he?!
Weren’t Visions supposed to be bestowed by the gods, only upon those chosen and seen? And they were rare, too. How on eart...

“Your body's vitality is lower than that of the average human. That means your metabolic rate is extremely slow. What little energy you absorb is utilized with maximum efficiency.”
“Similarly, your lifespan will likely be much longer than that of a normal human. Your aging process will be significantly slower. Though how long you can live… I can't say for certain.”
To be honest, Jiang Bai had never felt any different from the people of Teyvat. But hearing Albedo say all ...

“If Durin the dragon is dead, then why does it look like that heart is still beating?”
Jiang Bai walked alongside Albedo, still full of questions—more, in fact, with every answer Albedo gave him.
“Dragonkind possesses an incredibly strong life force,” Albedo explained. “Even after centuries, remnants of that vitality still linger in the land. What you saw wasn't truly beating—just an illusion your senses conjured.”
“So… is there a chance it could come bac...

He was a young man, not much older than a boy. Pale blond hair was tied neatly behind his head, revealing a smooth, unblemished forehead. He wore a white, hooded coat—thick and warm—clearly made for alpine weather.
Metal pauldrons protected his shoulders and knees, and bracers covered his arms—gear meant for immediate response in case of danger.
Despite the strange, ominous setting, he exuded a composed and refined air. Calm and unshaken, he didn’t give off the impression ...

Leaving the hilichurl cavern behind, Jiang Bai followed the narrow path upward. Icicles continued to fall from above—some landing on his umbrella, some smashing against the frozen ground, and some crashing right into the road ahead.
If he didn’t know better, he’d suspect these icicles were being aimed at him. The way they kept missing him by inches felt... personal.
Dodging what felt like nature’s hidden weapons, Jiang Bai finally reached the uppermost level of th...

Led by the clan leader, Elias and Cogita walked into the largest tent at the center of the camp.
The tent was relatively spacious, with a bonfire burning in the middle.
But even so, the temperature inside could hardly be called warm.
It was hard to imagine how the Pearl Clan managed to survive year-round in a place this cold.
Once seated, Cogita took a moment to organize her words, then, without beating around the bush, spoke directly:
"Leader, the real reason I ...

The thought of sending Elias back to the Pearl Clan left Cogita feeling strangely frustrated.
Ever since Elias appeared, her once plain and tedious life had finally gained a hint of color.
Even just following him around each day, recording how he interacted with Pokémon, had become a source of joy.
And compared to other babies, Elias was quiet, never crying or causing trouble — exactly the kind of temperament she liked.
More importantly...
After raising a ...

He hadn’t expected that she would be the one to find him here.
This wasn’t just good luck anymore—it was practically miraculous.

After reaching an agreement with Gardevoir, Elias finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he had been worried that Gardevoir might sense something was off and refuse.
But now, it was clear—Gardevoir was as considerate and obedient as ever, agreeing with a simple nod, without even asking a question.
Elias felt a surge of emotion at her trust.
Afterward, he and Gardevoir moved to another floating island.

Inside the laboratory, a researcher in a white lab coat called out, his voice trembling.

Frowning, Dr. Fuji glanced up, displeased. He had still been trying to figure out how Elias had managed to deduce Mew's genetic sequence not long ago.

And yet she still had the time and energy to go help out Unova?

As cream flowed from Milcery’s tiny hands, a sweet fragrance filled the entire office.
Ranked no.1 in the hearts of Galar’s pastry chefs, Milcery’s cream was exceptionally delectable.
Luo Yuan casually waved a chair over with his psychic power, then dug into his backpack and pulled out some berries he had prepared beforehand.
He handed them to Milcery, who skillfully decorated the fruits with its cream, then, following Luo Yuan’s gesture, presented them to Matori.

Giovanni’s proposal, though sudden, didn’t feel out of place.
Both reasons he offered were perfectly sound — there wasn’t a single flaw anyone could pick at.

Lorelei was the first to voice her support.

Lorelei frowned. It wasn’t that she craved power — it was simply that no one liked having the League Council looming over their heads.
After so many years as an Elite Four member, Lorelei knew exactly what kind of people sat on that council.
It wasn't that they were incompetent at their jobs, but their skill at vying for power far outstripped their professional abilities.
It was easy to foresee: if the League Council got involved in Kanto’s affairs, whether they could ...

Of course Gary had read through the information August gave him.
The Draconid People were an ancient tribe that had survived in the Hoenn region from antiquity to the present day.
A thousand years ago, the Draconid People, who revered the "Dragon God" Rayquaza, had prophesied that a massive meteorite would crash down a millennium later, threatening to destroy the world — and only the Dragon God could save it.
