As the group advanced, more and more people joined the ranks.
Hidden in the shadows, Dainsleif silently observed as one person after another stepped out from their homes, seamlessly blending into the growing procession of Liyue’s people.
Among them were vegetable vendors, shop owners, retired Millelith soldiers wounded in past battles, and even street ruffians—men who were often looked down upon, now gripping wooden clubs and kitchen knives as they marched forward.

Just as Gu Sanqiu had said, Liyue Harbor was indeed striving toward an era of human governance.
The Millelith had forced the battlefront to a standstill along the coastline. Even with the overwhelming numbers of sea monsters, not a single one had managed to break through their solid defense!
General Tian had withdrawn due to exhaustion, leaving the command in the hands of the resolute Fengyan.
He had no special abilities, no divine heritage—just sheer determination and rel...

"Aether, what do you say? Are you coming back with me?"
Gu Sanqiu had his hands tucked into his pockets, the power of the fierce wind slowly gathering beneath him.
"You’re safe here. Or rather, as long as that piece of amber remains sealed, you’re absolutely safe. But if you return to Liyue Harbor, you’ll probably have to come with me to the battlefield and grind some experience."
Aether was deep in thought. When it came down to it, the affairs of Liyue Harbor weren’...

The research vessels stationed at the frontlines continued to intermittently receive audio transmissions. Per Chen Lin’s instructions, all intercepted signals were decoded and sent to both the Governor’s Office and the Imperial Research Institute.
As the number of samples increased, the research institute's translation efficiency improved significantly. After six days and nights of relentless work, the audio signals were successfully deciphered.

Chen Lin was currently locked in an intense battle with the exceptionally martial Silver Wolf, exchanging blow after blow in a relentless contest.
Meanwhile—
Inside the L-Gate.
The exit of the L-Gate, which connected to the Jarilo home star system, had been temporarily designated as the A2 system by the capital authorities. The naming convention was refreshingly straightforward.
For example, the first star system at the exit could be given a single-letter designation...

Fishing.
Chen Lin had spent some time as an amateur angler, often accompanying the old men from the research institute to the fish ponds in their free time.
But that didn’t mean he actually enjoyed physical fishing.
On the contrary—what truly interested him was the kind of fishing that required patience, the kind where one had to calmly wait for the prey to take the bait.
When fishing by a pond, a person’s excitement came from the uncertainty of what they might c...

Reality was nothing like a game.
In a game, a skirmish could be decided in seconds under overwhelming firepower. When Chen Lin first arrived here, he had assumed the same.
But that naïve assumption had shattered instantly—the moment they fired the first experimental shot from a capital-class weapon.
Shipboard weaponry was massive—and naturally, its energy consumption was just as extreme. The process of converting energy into firepower generated heat—and an overheated ...

L-Gates are interconnected.
When one L-Gate is activated, its corresponding gate also enters operational status. However, if either of the paired gates is damaged, even if a spatial borehole is successfully formed, the passage cannot be established. Naturally, this means the L-Gate corridor cannot materialize.
Perhaps the designers had foreseen such scenarios, which is why they implemented this safety measure.

Saturday, May 9th. Since Raana had already left for school, the Tsuzuki household was unusually quiet, with only Chihiro and her grandmother, Shifune, at home.
Shifune sighed.

But there was something else on her mind—the concern Anon’s gr...

Returning here once more, Tsuzuki Chihiro found that her emotions weren’t as calm as she had expected.
She had thought she wouldn’t be nervous standing in front of the Tsuzuki household—after all, this was already her second time back since returning to Tokyo. But when she really thought about it, there was a clear difference.
Last time, she had returned under Soyo’s identity.
This time, she was coming home as herself—as a daughter of the Tsu...

So, what now? Is she being forced to go home and inherit her grandmother’s chain of LIVE HOUSES, settling into the life of a proper Tsukinomori heiress?

It had taken her less than twenty minutes in total. That was the fastest speed Tsuzuki Chihiro could manage to get from the restaurant back to Soyo's house.
However, when she swiped her keycard and stepped inside, she frowned slightly.
This girl… didn't turn on the lights again?

Awa Tendou glanced at her granddaughter but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Seeing no reason to suspect anything, she simply nodded.

Was this solid proof?
Before, Shiina Taki had only speculated. Even if her guess was pretty spot-on and explained almost everything, she had lacked actual evidence.
But judging from the way Soyo looked like she’d just been struck by lightning, everything seemed to be confirmed.
That said, now was not the time to bring it up.
At the very least, she couldn’t bring it up in front of everyone and expose Soyo’s emotional baggage as if she were peeling ba...

“I didn’t expect my reputation to have spread far enough to reach the infamous Hunter J in the Sinnoh region,” August remarked.
However, Hunter J, hearing the teasing tone in August’s voice, didn’t feel particularly ‘infamous.’
“I’ll remember you.”
After giving one last glance at Gardevoir, Hunter J abruptly ended the video call.
Watching the final, vaguely threatening look Hunter J had given him, August smirked.
