Q and the group had accepted a commission from a nearby village to subjugate a monster.
However, when they reached the monster’s den deep in the forest, they found that it was already dead.
“This monster seems to have just recently died,” Fern said after using magic to examine the corpse.
“The wounds are fresh.”
Stark crouched down, inspecting the wound on the monster’s neck. “What a clean strike... Whoever did this must be an exceptionally skilled warrio...

It was a memory from a spring day.
The sky was clear, and a gentle breeze drifted through the air.
“Sorry, I just accepted an escort mission.”
Himmel had disappeared for a short while, and upon returning, he delivered this piece of news to the group.
“He’s at it again...”
“Well, that’s just the kind of person Himmel is, isn’t it?”
Frieren and Eisen mocked him lightly, their reactions carrying an air of familiarity, as though this was entir...

Sitting in the old brick house, Saber found herself slipping into a brief dream—not her own, but her Master's.
The connection between Master and Servant was not one-sided. Just as a Master could glimpse a Servant’s past through shared dreams, a Servant, too, could perceive their Master’s memories, experiencing them like fleeting visions.
Saber dreamed of a world of absolute darkness.
No, this was worse than darkness—far worse.
It was deep, boundless, an ab...

"The battle has no clear victor," Saber murmured, watching as delicate snowflakes drifted from the sky. The dim streetlights flickered, casting long shadows. She frowned slightly. "We should end this here."
"Are you afraid of fighting?" Assassin’s lips curled up ever so slightly.
This one was troublesome—far too troublesome.
But Saber was calm. She had fought in multiple Holy Grail Wars. She was a warrior, one who had long since learned the rules of survival.

Saber sheathed [Durandal], its blade still slick with blood. Around her, lifeless bodies lay in silent testament to the carnage.
But this was only the beginning. These mercenaries, though not from distinguished magus families, were still denizens of the world’s hidden side. That meant magic. That meant spoils.

Blades clashed, swords gleamed, and the air roared with power.

Xiao had chosen to stay at Wangshu Inn for a reason—
It was far from Liyue Harbor, the rooftop was quiet, and it was a strategic vantage point for subduing demons.
But the moment Jia Changjiang and Lumine arrived, his peace was completely shattered.
"Xiao! Are you coming to the Lantern Rite or not?" Lumine called out. "The Mingxiao Lantern this year is modeled after Skybracer, a majestic giant deer!"
"No."

With Lance’s sharp eye for battles, he could tell that Blue was clearly the stronger trainer compared to Gary.
