Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [159]

After leaving the banquet hall, Hermione didn’t return to her dormitory.

She was too scared.

The thought of being alone made her feel as though someone might emerge from the shadows at any moment to kill her.

Bruce offered her a safer alternative.

“Kathoom has a little nest. It’s cozy,” he said. “You can sleep there. I’ll stay nearby. Rest easy—you don’t have to worry about a thing.”

Hermione agreed to his suggestion.

Once she was settled ...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [158]

Wandering in an empty castle for over a hundred years?

Snape’s words left everyone in stunned disbelief.

Their first thought was that their Potions professor had lost his mind.

“Snape, are you serious?”

Sirius reached out to touch Snape’s forehead.

Given their history, Snape should have swatted Sirius’s hand away with a scowl.

But he didn’t.

On the contrary, Snape seemed unusually sluggish, as if his mind was somewhere far...

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [157]

Late at night, Bruce stood outside the Gryffindor common room, waiting for Hermione to come out.

He couldn’t let her face this alone.

After what felt like an eternity, Hermione finally emerged, her head bowed. Bruce immediately noticed something was wrong.

“Hermione…”

Hermione’s trembling figure approached him, tears streaming down her face.

“Her—”

Before Bruce could finish, Hermione interrupted him.

“Let’s run away!”

Her e...

Restart, Spider-Man! [237]

Carol’s arrival silenced the room.

G'iah stared at the "god" before her, suddenly reminded of the annihilation her people had once faced.

It was this woman, with her half-Kree heritage, who had saved the Skrulls.

Without her, the Skrulls would have perished long ago.

All Skrulls harbored deep gratitude toward her.

Yet the existential crisis facing the Skrulls remained unsolved.

They had once pinned their hopes on Nick Fury, but he had failed to deliver sa...

Restart, Spider-Man! [236]

Xia Luo gazed silently at the Spider-Men before him, not saying a single word.

He motioned with his hand, and Harry jogged over.

"Are we leaving?"

"Yes."

A golden portal opened, and the two figures disappeared into it.

At that moment, the golden portal, like a sunrise, framed their departing silhouettes.

All the Spider-Men stared at the scene, momentarily stunned.

"Why? Why didn’t Harry ask him about Spider-Man’s secrets?"

"Yeah, why? I’m ...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [80]

La Signora sat on the ground, leaning against her hands as she gasped for air, the effects of Jia Changjiang’s chokehold lingering.

"You… really think this cheap victory gives you the right to spout such delusions?"

Raising her face to meet his, she sneered. "Keep those wild fantasies to yourself!"

"Oh?"

Jia Changjiang arched a brow, then without hesitation, delivered a kick to her abdomen. The blow knocked the wind out of her, leaving her face pale.

Jia Chan...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [79]

"Madman…"

La Signora's gaze remained fixed on Jia Changjiang, whose injuries only continued to multiply. Despite his condition, there was no sign of him stopping.

For a fleeting moment, she couldn’t help but wonder—was he here to die?

The Fatui’s intelligence had revealed no significant ties between Jia Changjiang and Mondstadt. In fact, most of what he knew about the city seemed to have been learned after his arrival.

What was the point of going to such length...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [78]

Jia Changjiang made the first move.

Gripping the massive warhammer he had taken, he charged toward the Fatui Vanguard. Though lacking elemental power, Jia Changjiang swung the hammer single-handedly, its sheer weight smashing into the ground as he rushed forward.

The Fatui Vanguard, while not as individually powerful as the Debt Collectors or the Cicin Mages, had the advantage of coordinated teamwork. Utilizing elemental resonance and their Delusions, they were able to form defens...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [77]

So, this is what the Gnoses of the Seven Archons look like?

Claim it, destroy it, discard it?

Listening to the system’s incessant prompts, Jia Changjiang shook his head, unwilling to make an immediate decision.

Turning toward Venti, he asked, "Venti, let me ask you something important… Is the Gnosis truly vital to you?"

As he spoke, he casually tossed the aquamarine chess piece—a representation of the Anemo Gnosis—up and down in his hand, watching it g...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [76]

Jia Changjiang gripped his massive axe, slowly advancing toward the church's entrance.

At the same time, Venti and Lumine had already dashed out of the church.

Today... the area in front of the church was eerily quiet. It was as if some mysterious force had driven the crowd away—there wasn’t a single soul in sight.

The moment Venti stepped out of the church, two Fatui Debt Collectors emerged from the shadows on the ground. Their blades gleamed as they lunged straight for...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [160]

Truthfully, Luo Yuan hadn’t expected Giovanni to lend him Mewtwo.

Giovanni’s reasoning was solid, but if Luo Yuan put himself in Giovanni’s shoes, he doubted he’d be able to loan out a Legendary Pokémon—even if the other person already had one just as powerful.

Giovanni’s actions once again made Luo Yuan reconsider the scope of the man’s character.

The show of trust even stirred a faint sense of gratitude within Luo Yuan.

He pushed that feeling aside, th...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [159]

"The Hoenn branch?"

Giovanni raised an eyebrow in mild surprise.

He hadn’t expected Luo Yuan to bring up a topic like this.

But, in a way, Luo Yuan’s suggestion was timely.

Due to their focus on Mewtwo’s creation, most of Team Rocket’s external expansion plans had been put on hold.

Now, with the Mewtwo project a success—even at the cost of the New Island base—Team Rocket’s power had surged. It was time to resume expansion.

Still…

"Can ...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [158]

"Eight Pokémon? Oh, that... I just turned off the auto-transfer function on my Pokédex," Luo Yuan replied.

According to the League’s research and data analysis, six Pokémon was the ideal number for Trainers to raise simultaneously.

As for why not five, four, or three?

Well, that ties into the League’s purpose in promoting Pokémon battles.

For the League, spreading Pokémon battles serves as a means to stimulate regional economies.

As one of the most relia...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [157]

In the end, Rhydon fell to Charizard.

Seeing his opponent down, Charizard opened its mouth and released a stream of flames in a triumphant display.

Watching Charizard look so lively even now, Gary couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. He was still reeling from the fact that his Rhydon had been taken down by a burn.

"It still has energy to spare…"

Suddenly, he didn’t feel so disappointed anymore.

From the looks of Charizard’s current state,...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [156]

A relentless barrage of Fire Blasts.

This was the same move that had taken Blastoise down before.

Watching it unfold again, Gary felt a chill run through him even under the blazing sun, his hands going cold as a shiver gripped him.

Did having massive stamina make Charizard unstoppable?

And yet… the reality was that having so much stamina really did allow for near-limitless attacks.

Professor Oak, observing the scene, couldn’t help but take another long look a...

I Just Want a Single Ending [160]

Nice.

Seeing her agree to stay, Kamigawa Saku couldn’t help but celebrate internally.

He’d finally managed to win her over—it was worth all the talking.

Dealing with Togawa Sakiko was almost too easy.

Practically a walk in the park.

“Oh, by the way, I’m curious. Now that I’ve explained everything, what’s your impression of me now?” Kamigawa asked, genuinely interested.

“A guy who’s only in it for the money.”

After a brie...

I Just Want a Single Ending [159]

The conclusion she reached was simple enough.

The key lay in that sense of gratitude.

Humans are emotional creatures, after all.

Just as she’d thought earlier, the longer it took her to realize the discrepancy in pay, the deeper her gratitude toward him would grow, making her more likely to work hard to repay him.

Especially since she needed money so badly now, his actions felt like a lifeline.

What’s more, Kamigawa Saku had shown her the utmost respect, offe...

I Just Want a Single Ending [158]

“Before we go on, can I ask—what’s your impression of me right now?”

With the frank conversation they’d just had, Kamigawa Saku could feel the tension between them had lessened, so he decided to use the moment to gather some valuable feedback.

“Someone whose intentions are unclear, seems to be planning something, and has a rather unusual personality, I’d say.”

After some thought, Togawa Sakiko gave her answer.

Initially, before she’d noticed the quest...

I Just Want a Single Ending [157]

After a brief celebration in his mind, Kamigawa Saku refocused on Togawa Sakiko in front of him.

For now, he needed to figure out how to handle the conversation. Deciding how to use the learning card could wait until he got home.

“Is that all?” Sakiko asked, clearly unsatisfied with his answer.

Back when she didn’t know any better, she’d accepted his claim at face value. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to a 50/50 ad revenue split back then.

But now, was h...

I Just Want a Single Ending [156]

[Because I’ve always liked you.]

[Because I trust you completely.]

[Because I’m your fan.]

[Because you’re worth it.]

As soon as Togawa Sakiko asked her question, the system options appeared.

Sigh...

Kamigawa Saku let out a quiet sigh in his heart.

So she’d figured it out after all. Looks like Togawa Sakiko ...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [160]

After Stelle treated Zaryus, his pain subsided significantly. Although his remaining time was short, the lizardman, who had long come to terms with mortality, seemed content. For him, what mattered now was witnessing the birth of new legends from those around him.

Fina’s eye injury was also partially healed but required time to recover fully. She chose to stay behind to care for Zaryus and await further developments. Her weakened state left her unable to assist on the frontlines, and ...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [159]

—The border town of Getlow.

This humble settlement had once been the Trailblazers’ starting point as adventurers, and now, it served as a waypoint on their final journey.

Upon arrival, Nahida had reverted to her original appearance. Clad in her familiar green attire and matching hat, her minstrel-like outfit caught March 7th’s eye. She glanced repeatedly at the figure before her.

“Hm? What’s with that nostalgic look?”

Venti, wearing his trademark sly grin, ...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [158]

Two days later.

In the royal court, the elders of the Elven Council exchanged uneasy glances, murmuring among themselves.

Commander Ceria looked utterly baffled, her expression betraying her struggle to comprehend the sudden decision of both the Queen and the Princess.

Though she had never disobeyed a royal command in her life, this time, she couldn’t hold her tongue.

“Your Majesty, I must respectfully voice my objection!”

Kneeling on one knee, her head bow...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [157]

Bath time.

After sharing dinner with the Elven Queen and returning to the royal chambers together, Nahida politely declined the Queen’s invitation to bathe together. Instead, she chose to soak alone in a bath large enough to host a small party.

Now, wrapped in a towel, her hair fading from white to green tied up in a bun, a few damp strands fell loosely around her face. Her skin, glowing with youthful softness, had turned a delicate shade of pink from the warm water. Her vibrant...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [156]

Something wasn’t right.

There was something happening that she couldn’t quite grasp.

Nahida glanced at the gathering crowd, all eyes fixed on her expectantly as if the entire world had converged upon her.

Though their gazes bore no malice, their well-meaning concern only served to agitate her further.

Sensing her unease, the Elven Queen quickly cleared her throat. Her voice, melodic and song-like, addressed the crowd.

“The tree has chosen its princess, but ...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [285]

The next morning, Luo Qing sat at the dining table, dark circles under his eyes, staring at the mountain of breakfast dishes piled before him.

According to Theresa, Buer and Makoto had woken up before dawn to prepare breakfast together, filling the table with their creations.

“Luo Qing, please make sure to try everything~,” Makoto said sweetly from his left, wearing an apron and radiating the aura of a dutiful wife.

“Luo Qing, I made some too. Please have a taste~,” ...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [284]

With just one sentence, Buer had managed to ignite a fiery tension in the room, so thick it felt like the air had frozen in place.

Clinging to Luo Qing’s right arm, her expression was warm and polite, yet her words carried a sharp undertone that made his heart sink.

So Buer’s a closet schemer too, huh? Luo Qing thought, feeling a chill run down his spine.

“I...”

Makoto inhaled sharply, her mind racing.

As expected, Buer’s personality was n...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [283]

“Buer, can you tell me more about the past?”

Luo Qing’s voice was soft and apologetic. “I’m sorry, but I don’t remember anything.”

“Mm...”

A faint voice came from his embrace, tinged with sadness.

Just as she had feared, it was exactly as he’d once said—when they met again, he would no longer remember the past.

But at least, about her being his bride...

That part, he seemed to recall.

“It all started at the beginning o...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [282]

The joy of their long-awaited reunion momentarily made Rukkhadevata forget her current state.

But Luo Qing’s reminder brought her back to reality. Glancing down, she realized she was completely unclothed.

If not for her chest pressing against Luo Qing, barely covering her most private areas, she would have been entirely exposed.

“Luo Qing, I... um...”

A blush crept across Rukkhadevata’s fair cheeks.

If she let go now, Luo Qing would see everything. But st...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [281]

“This place is...”

Luo Qing looked around, momentarily distracted by the lush scenery.

By the sequence of events Lumine had experienced, wasn’t he supposed to fight some monsters and cleanse the corruption first? How had he suddenly appeared in front of the World Tree?

Still, since he was here, there was no point in stopping.

With a thought, he willed his consciousness to delve deeper into the World Tree’s roots.

Before he could get closer, a faint, melod...
