Type-Moon: The Human Love Simulator [157]

The Chu Kingdom, scornfully referred to by the Central Plains states as a barbarian land.

In the early days, successive kings of Chu cleared forests and cultivated lands through arduous labor, transforming their small kingdom—one that once had to steal cattle from neighboring states at night for sacrificial rites—into a powerful state rivaling the great powers of the Central Plains.

However, the ruler of Chu was merely a viscount, akin to the titles in Su. Yet Chu’s strength...

"I'm not going. Same reason you turned down the Yellow Emperor back then," Su Kai replied, glancing at the fox girl. "I’m afraid you’ll ruin me."

"Ugh… how mean!" Xiaoyu's orange fox ears drooped, her cheeks puffing indignantly. "Migu, Xiaoyu’s not some kind of crazy stalker!"

She swished her tails, looking hopeful. "Migu, I just want to marry you! Heroes like you, with noble ideals and grand ambitions, are exactly my type!"

"Yeah, no thanks. Marrying you would be a ...

The capital of Zheng, Xinzheng.

Among the many great cities of the Central Plains, Xinzheng stood out as one of the most prominent. Since Duke Huan of Zheng moved the capital and Duke Zhuang of Zheng rose to hegemony, successive monarchs had worked to improve the city. Even now, it remained the political and military heart of Zheng.

The war between Zheng and the Han clan of Jin, a noble lineage, was not a recent development. In truth, the conflict between Zheng and Jin had persist...

“Yue, the ultimate hegemon, truly arrogant in its stance…”

Su Kai reviewed the demands issued by Yue's envoy. Every feudal lord capable of mobilizing an army of ten thousand was summoned to Di for a grand alliance, where they would acknowledge Yue's supremacy as hegemon of the feudal lords.

The choice of location was intriguing. Just a few years ago, King Yi of Yue had taken advantage of Tian He’s preoccupation with solidifying his control over Qi, la...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [125]

The sun rose, heralding the start of a new day.

Though Kiichi hadn’t slept the entire night, she remained full of energy.

She recalled her high school days, where she juggled five morning classes, four afternoon sessions, and three periods of evening study—a grueling twelve classes in total. Despite this, she managed to sleep through ten of them, finishing her homework during the remaining two study sessions. She was also the first to sleep during lunch breaks and at night, ea...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [124]

Kiichi froze momentarily, her gaze fixed on the strange figure before her.

The armored man wasted no time exploiting her hesitation. Retracting his cross-shaped spear, he smoothly shifted from a thrust to an upward swing.

But Kiichi was no ordinary opponent. As the founder of the Kyohachiryu sword style and a great tengu yokai, she recovered quickly. By the time the armored man adjusted his stance, she had already raised her blade, blocking the spear's side blade in a calculated d...

Sara lay on the bed, unable to sleep. It wasn’t due to the unfamiliar surroundings.

Though this environment couldn’t compare to the house her master, Kiichi, had created, it was far better than the days she spent living in the forest. Back then, she could sleep soundly on branches, rocks, or in the grass. A warm, comfortable bed should have been no issue.

What kept her awake was Chika—or rather, everything she had experienced in this sealed space.

Chika’s words from ...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [122]

“Everyone went out?”

Went where?

Wasn’t the area outside the village supposed to be dangerous, teeming with vicious monsters that made it imperative to return home before nightfall?

And why had everyone gone out?

Sara sensed something odd in Chika’s words but couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was, as though the truth were shrouded in thick fog.

“Chika…”

Unconsciously, Sara’s expression grew more serious.

“What exactly d...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [121]

As dusk slowly fell, Sara found herself once again questioning this world.

The sun rose and set, there were villages and people living here… Was this truly the sealed space her master had mentioned?

Calling it another small world didn’t seem far-fetched.

Leading the way was a girl named Chika, whom they had just met. She skipped ahead, her long, braided flaxen hair swinging side to side.

So lively, so well-behaved—who could possibly dislike such a charming little...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [125]

Choosing Rocket Team rookies unfamiliar with Luo Yuan and Sabrina was essential to making the operation look authentic. Selecting new recruits also helped reduce the risk of Rocket Team secrets leaking if they were captured.

But Luo Yuan’s plan wasn’t just about quelling Silph’s president’s suspicions.

It was also a chance for him to showcase his strength and play the role of Silph’s “savior.” He planned to use this attack as the key moment to gain the Silph presiden...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [124]

The appearance of Deoxys made Hunter J visibly tense.

Her rigid stance and the look on her face revealed her nervousness.

It was clear that her previous defeat by Deoxys—so easily overpowered—had left her with a lasting fear of it.

“Let me introduce you,” Luo Yuan said with a smile. “This is Deoxys. It has remote-tracking abilities, so once it remembers someone’s characteristics, it can locate them across thousands of miles.”

As he spoke, he reached out a...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [123]

“Blaine, you’ve been exposed!”

The Rocket Team executive appeared suddenly at the doorway, calling him out by name.

Although Blaine didn’t recognize this particular executive, given his current standing with Rocket Team, he knew there was no way this could be a friendly visit.

As Cinnabar Gym’s Leader and the second-strongest Gym Leader in Kanto, Blaine’s instincts were sharp.

In a practiced, professional motion, he reached for his Pokéball.

“Ninet...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [122]

Good times never last long.

After a pleasant night at the hotel with Sabrina, Luo Yuan received a call from Giovanni the next day.

“Boss Giovanni!”

On the other end of the screen, Giovanni was in his usual attire, stroking his Persian’s fur, which seemed to never bore of the attention.

Honestly, Luo Yuan felt that if it wasn’t for Giovanni’s persona, a Glameow or even a Delcatty would’ve been a lot softer and nicer to pet than his Persian.

“Luo Yuan...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [121]

“Pokémon get daze~”

Humming to himself, Luo Yuan watched as the airship appeared against the night sky and slowly descended.

Sabrina stepped out from the cabin.

Luo Yuan had to admit, having his own airship made everything a lot easier. Things like picking Sabrina up were far more convenient now than they’d ever been before.

It just burned through a bit more fuel, but that wasn’t an issue. Rocket Team’s logistics department took care of all the expenses anyw...

"Saku-senpai, have you been following the news or weather reports lately?"

Ikuyo Kita casually struck up a conversation.

"Not much, honestly. Is there some strange weather forecast on the horizon? Like maybe… snow?"

Weather forecasts made Saku think of those kinds of strange news events, and he couldn’t help feigning cluelessness.

“Oh, come on, snow in May would be pushing it!”

Ikuyo couldn’t resist a laugh, then continued, “It’s actually a typhoon....

After letting her mind wander briefly, Chihaya Anon quickly snapped herself out of it. Gotoh Hitori might share a few similarities, but she was certainly not her daughter.

Anyway, it was more important to focus on the real task at hand: helping Hitori study.

“For this one, start with…”

As Saku continued his detailed explanation, Hitori realized something troubling—she wasn’t absorbing a single word he was saying.

Her entire attention was fixed on him alone. 2024-12-02 21:37:21 +0000 UTC View Post

“Even the manager accepted her set. You’re not going to be the ones to refuse, right?”

Kamigawa Saku turned to the others with a smile.

“…”

Seika Ijichi, realizing she’d been subtly coaxed into accepting, blinked in mild surprise. But, having said it already, she couldn’t take it back.

“Leave it to me! I’ll definitely give you a top-notch review!”

Chihaya Anon was the first to agree.

She was already interested in cosmetics, and now tha...

Was it possible that marrying Kamigawa Saku could eliminate all her future worries?

Hiroi Kikuri found herself pondering this thought.

For starters, he was undeniably easy on the eyes—enough to make anyone’s heart race.

Not to mention his wealth. The fact that he could casually buy a mountain of expensive cosmetics as gifts showed just how well-off he was.

The more she thought about it, the more Saku seemed like an ideal marriage prospect.

The only catch was�...

“It’s nothing, really. Just some cosmetics I brought as gifts for them.”

Kamigawa Saku shifted slightly, making space for Seika Ijichi to peek inside the box.

“Oh, and there are sets in here for you and PA-san as well.”

“For me?”

PA-san, who had only come over to join in on the fun, perked up at his words and hurried over.

“That’s right.”

Saku confirmed with a nod.

“What about me? Did you bring anything for me?”

Godfather Owl: Guardian of Batman [125]

“The Dreamweaver’s Charm?”

Bruce frowned. “How is that different from the Hallucination Charm?”

“There’s a big difference,” Kathoom explained. “One involves you constructing an illusion, while the other traps the target in their own dream."

“One depends on your imagination; the other uses theirs. See the gap?”

As Kathoom elaborated, Bruce quickly grasped the implications.

The Dreamweaver’s Charm was likely f...

“What do you serve here?” Homelander asked casually.

In truth, no alcohol, no matter how strong, could stimulate his taste buds.
Getting drunk? That was a luxury beyond him.
Coming to a bar to drink was, at best, a symbolic gesture—a ritual with no real meaning.

“Anything,” the woman behind the counter said suddenly. “It depends on what you want.”

Bold claim, Homelander thought, letting out a dry laugh.

“Do you even know who I am? Yo...

The Deep’s swimming speed was legendary, and by the time Bruce leapt onto the cargo ship, the outcome was already decided.

With the power of magic, taking down a group of smugglers was almost laughably easy.

As the cargo ship returned to the port, the smugglers were unceremoniously tossed onto the docks, bound tightly. Waiting reporters swarmed in like a tidal wave.

“That was incredible!”

One reporter couldn’t help but exclaim. “For a moment, I thought the mi...

At this point, the rest of The Seven finally began to see Bruce in a new light.

They were starting to realize that the boy sitting among them wasn’t just any ordinary thirteen-year-old.

If Bruce wanted to, he could probably even become a shareholder in Vought International.

After fully understanding the company’s operations, Bruce had also come to grasp just how corrupt and inept Vought truly was.

Though it appeared to be a corporate giant, internally it was riddle...

A-Train clapped his hands over his ears in a panic.

“I didn’t hear anything!”

He exclaimed, “I just had some ringing in my ears!”

“It’s too late for that, Mr. A-Train,” Bruce said with a sly smile. “Now, there’s no turning back for you.

“We’re going to work together to overthrow the current system at Vought!”

“I don’t want to hear this! Stop saying these things to me!”

A-Train desperately covered his ears, shaking his head fu...

“So, why did everyone decide to become adventurers?”

With the halfling scout still unconscious and no actionable intelligence available, the group decided to set up camp at a safe distance from the cave.

As night fell, they gathered around a crackling campfire. Fina, perched on a stone, broke the silence with her curious question. Her bright eyes lingered on the Trailblazers, clearly eager to hear their stories.

“For me,” she began, “it was because I turned fifteen...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [124]

I’m finished.

The halfling scout darted through the dark cavern, frantically dodging shadows and clinging to survival.

He worked for the guild’s intelligence division, tasked with reconnaissance missions that often required surveying dangerous terrain or gathering critical enemy intelligence. Such tasks varied widely in difficulty, from scouting goblin-infested hideouts to charting the lairs of dragonkin.

This mission wasn’t as high-stakes as the latte...

The commission March 7th selected wasn’t something novice adventurers could typically handle. However, the Trailblazers were far from ordinary, and the town of Gretlow was lucky to have even a few silver-ranked adventurers in residence.

Expecting gold-ranked adventurers to investigate a cult was pure fantasy.

Humanity’s main forces were occupied holding the Demon King’s army at bay on the border, leaving little room to address smaller but still significant threats. Ever sinc...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [122]

Receiving unexpected support and intelligence from the guild was a morale boost for the Trailblazers.

This meant there might be a “shortcut” in their current expedition—an enticing prospect.

Of course, to leverage the guild’s resources and reputation, they would need to contribute in return. Simply boasting about their abilities without proof would only invite resentment and unnecessary trouble.

With that in mind, after a restful night at the guild’s inn, the next ...

“Hoho, such a rare sight—new faces. So, it’s them, huh? The ones reported by the appraisers to have defeated the Ruin Goliath. Quite impressive for the younger generation.”

The branch head of the Adventurers’ Guild chuckled meaningfully. He was a seasoned silver-ranked adventurer, whose strength had once approached the pinnacle, just shy of the kingdom’s knight commander. However, with age, his vitality had waned, his fighting spirit dulled, and his strength receded signific...

Jiliang’s voice quivered slightly with emotion. "A Hydro Vision bearer, yet one day her body succumbs to chronic illness. Even the soothing power of water cannot restore her health."
