Yukong ignored Kafka’s greeting, her cold eyes drifting briefly to Welt. He represented the Astral Express, and while she ached to launch her attack immediately, she had to maintain decorum for the sake of her potential ally. Acting impulsively would only damage the alliance.
Kafka, however, turned her attention to Welt with a smile that didn’t falter.
“Welcome. Welt, isn’t it? How are the kids doing?”
Her tone wasn’t that of an enemy meeting on a battlefield—i...

Traveling to the Divination Commission required passing through Changle Sky, a sprawling area of interconnected domains. While the Starskiff Haven served as a central hub, it lacked direct routes to every key location.
The three main exits from this region led to:
Liuyun Crossing, a bustling dock for Luofu’s trade and freight operations.
Qingxing Port, a crucial hub for starskiff manufacturing.

Morning.
March 7th yawned as she stepped out of her room, instinctively turning left to knock on the doors of her companions.
The closest room belonged to Stelle. When Stelle opened her door, the ends of her gray hair stuck out messily, and a stubborn cowlick stood defiantly on her head.
"Good morning! How'd you sleep? Did you dream about anyone?"
March 7th grinned mischievously, a playful glint in her eyes as she teased the still-dazed Stelle.
"Nope. Didn't drea...

Jia Changjiang and Diluc didn’t waste much time dealing with the hilichurls at the entrance to the ruins. Avoiding most of the groups, they followed the path deeper into the ruins until they reached a chamber where the Pyro Abyss Mage was stationed.
Peering into the room from the doorway, the two observed the mage intently. The Abyss Mage stood near a small bonfire, with strange, glowing purple symbols hovering above the flames.
Diluc turned to Jia Changjiang, gesturing between ...

"Kaeya!" Klee’s eyes lit up as she saw him coming down the stairs, excitement radiating from her small frame.
"Kaeya? What do you mean by ‘adding more people’?" Lumine asked curiously.
Kaeya spread his hands in an exaggerated gesture. "Well, with all the work Jean has taken on recently, I was planning to delegate some tasks to other Knights. But since you’ve already volunteered to help, Lumine, it seems we have more capable hands on deck."

“Acting Grand Master Jean! We’re here to see you!”
Lumine pushed open the door to Jean’s office as she called out. Inside, she saw Jean seated at her desk, surrounded by piles of documents.
Jean looked as composed as always, but there was a noticeable weariness about her—more so than usual.
“Lumine? Is there something you need?”
Jean was feeling overwhelmed by the mountain of paperwork in front of her, but seeing Lumine brought her a small measure of reli...

"Not at all!" Jia Changjiang replied with unshakable confidence.

"Instinct," Jia Changjiang said, spreading his hands. "Of course, if I tell you that, you won’t believe me... Let’s just say it’s a kind of mysterious Weapon Master intuition."

"If you could, that would be amazing." Lumine gave him a thumbs-up. "So, Mr. Huffman, I’ll leave this to you, okay?"

Huffman saluted in the knightly fashion and said, "Thank you for your contributions to Mondstadt."

“You’re both my wings.”
As soon as Luo Yuan uttered these words, the room fell into silence.
So quiet, one could hear the faint sound of their own heartbeat.
Misty stared at Luo Yuan, stunned. She hadn’t expected him to say something like that.
Her feelings were complicated.
By all accounts, she should have been furious. But when she looked at Luo Yuan’s sincere and handsome face, she couldn’t summon her anger.

Luo Yuan stared at the caller ID on his phone, contemplating his decision.
Should he answer?
Or not?
He paused briefly, weighing his options.
But really, there wasn’t much to think about.
After all, he had never ignored a call from Sabrina before.
Resolutely, Luo Yuan pressed the answer button, raising the phone to his ear with a calm expression.
“Hello? … Got it. I’ll bring it to you right away,” Luo Yuan said.
Apparently, Sabrina had...

Sabrina and her Eevee simultaneously looked up, their actions so perfectly synchronized it was almost uncanny.
But Luo Yuan noticed more than just their synchronized movements.
“For them to sync up this well, their bond must be pretty strong. Eevee is probably ready to evolve,” he thought to himself.
If it did evolve, Sabrina would have three psychic-type Pokémon: Alakazam, Espeon, and Kirlia.
“That lineup is still too meager,” Luo Yuan mused.

Of course, not every trainer registering had earned all eight badges.

Honestly, Kamigawa Saku wasn’t very interested in the haunted house.
To him, haunted houses were all about cheap scares—things popping out from corners or unexpected places.
This one only reinforced his view.
So, it’s just more predictable jump scares, huh?
As he looked at the creepy mask that dropped from the ceiling, his expression remained completely unfazed.
Is that it?

With that, there was nothing left to worry about, and he could finally relax.

Leaning back on the sofa, Saku thought over this new status.
If they were really friends now, he’d need to be mindful of boundaries.

For most people, facing weather like this, there’s no way they’d want to be outside wandering around in it.
Kamigawa Saku, a thoroughly ordinary person, shared the same sentiment.
But, circumstances being what they were, he found himself walking in the rain.

From Tomori Takamatsu’s comments before the second take, it was clear she knew exactly why she’d interrupted—it was her singing that had gone off-key.
That’s why Kamigawa Saku was able to ask directly, hoping to confirm it clearly.

The Ruler-class Artoria’s Noble Phantasm, [Radiant Glory, My Shining Hall], is classified as an A+ Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
Its true form is Rhongomyniad, the holy lance capable of land, sea, and air deployment, which, when activated, unleashes devastating beams of magical energy upon all enemies. However, astute observers recognize that the "hall" itself is merely a pretense—these beams originate from the lance itself. Artoria has always remained ...

A fierce crimson glow illuminated the sky, accompanied by the deafening crack of thunder.
In the next moment, a torrent of red lightning crashed down, colliding with the emerald comet formed by Achilles’ war chariot.
Achilles and Karna both froze in disbelief. Even Artoria couldn’t hide her surprise.

Despite his golden armor and unyielding spirit, Karna’s relentless onslaught left Artoria struggling to keep up.
While Artoria’s protective golden aura could rival Karna’s Kavacha and Kundala, the latter’s divine protection was a miracle of creation itself—flawless, impenetrable, and entirely independent of its wielder’s mana reserves.
Under Karna’s unrelenting assault, cracks began to form in Artoria’s defenses.
Her frustration mounted.
