Schwertleite is starting to think that she may have made a terrible mistake.
And everything was going so well before, too!
First things first, actually finding this place didn't turn out to be so hard.
Turns out? That Hildr they mentioned? She was one of Odin's former bodyguards, just like Rossweisse.
Schwertleite thought that name sounded familiar, and it was because she ...

Okay, how do I go about explaining this without sounding like a dick?
…Fuck it. If it comes off that way, it comes off that way.
Right. So, Norse food.
I don't know what I was expecting, to be entirely honest. Granted, considering clearly what this establishment's purpose is, I think it's safe to say I didn't have any expectations.

I don't know how, I was sick the other week, started getting better, and was fine last week, then it came right back around and smashed me in the nose this week. Been done in the past few days as a result.
Ever since I woke up, I tried to force something out for today, but what little I've got down isn't any good.
I'm so so sorry guys, really. I really truly hate doing this, but I just...can't today.

"Alright, let's see here…" I hum, looking down at our menu consideringly, and after an incredibly brief moment, I decide, "Yeah, there's no way I'm reading this."
It's all Norse Runes! To me, the entire thing looks like someone made a spreadsheet out of the days left of their prison sentence.
In quick order, I set the menu down and slid it over to Rose.

This isn't exactly anything unusual for me, granted, it's a tad earlier than normal...but eh, I'd rather it now than at the start of April. Usually hits me around there, screws with my birthday, lol.

As Rose started leading me around, I could only imagine the extremely stupid look on my face as I looked around, back and forth, to and fro.
Somewhere between 'a kid in a candy store', and 'blatantly awed tourist' is probably a good approximation.
It's just that as we went along, I simply couldn't stop comparing the place to Takamagahara.
I know it's kind of unfair, considering the circumstances I got to ...

Within a beam of golden light, I appear directly outside my residence in the Kyoto Palace, back home at long last, finally letting me breathe a sigh of relief.
Well, I say 'at long last', but it hasn't been that long. Ama couldn't hold me forever, she had actual work to do and all that, so I'm only really looking at being back a good few hours or so later than I expected.

I'm not going to lie.
I've got no idea how the hell I'm supposed to start this conversation.
Or, if I even should start one at all.
Instead, I'm lying in a bean bag chair in her room, probably the same one I was lounging in the last time I was here, with my mother clinging to my chest and using me as a body pillow.
Her room hasn't changed at all since then, by the way. Not that I expected it to.

There was a chance the weather would put a stopper on today, letting me post, but it looks like it'll be clear today, so no dice.
So, pushing the chapter back to next Friday! Sorry you lot, but duty calls.
Shame that. The next chapter would have been sorta perfect for today, lol.

Admittedly, it took a moment for me to get moving, sort of just staring at the consequences of my actions as I was.
Funnily enough? What finally got me moving again mentally was the same random guy in the crowd who was screaming earlier.
It was him screaming though.
"UGH!"
…It was him getting sucker punched in the face by another random person and sent straight to the ground.

Unfortunately, though, it seems someone else is going to get to her before I can.
Kuroka shuffled in from the side with a light airy giggle, I could tell she had just very recently woken up, as her smile was loopy, her entire posture was droopy and her clothes were barely hanging onto her body.

How does someone fly through the air, with a sunburn so bad that even just a stray breeze is enough to cause bouts of incredible pain?
Dulio can answer that.
Very carefully.
Additionally, wrapping himself up within a layer of chilling winds helped massively.
It took several minutes of painstakingly careful flight, balancing speed with caution to not agitate his condition while still making ...

That one attack should have been enough.
That's what Dulio was thinking as he blasted through the sky in the direction in which he flung their new friend turned unfortunate enemy.
He should have known, of course he should have known.

It's kind of hard to explain, but Dulio Gesualdo had always been one of those characters from the series that was sort of on the periphery for me.
Which, considering how strong he was in the source material, always felt weird, but it's true.

As dawn just begins to break over the horizon, I let out a triumphant grin, holding my latest creation up into the light.
I really shouldn't feel so good about making a glorified prop, but come on now!
My gaze swivels to look at the true spear, where it sits atop a cushion and leans against the wall like a model, before walking up to it.
I place the prop right next to the real article, and my smile only g...

Damn shame, but yeah. I hope ya'll had a good Christmas (or whatever you may celebrate) and further still have a wonderful New Year.

I have made a terrible mistake.
Now, granted, I probably should have expected this.
After all, everything up until this point has been going swimmingly!
Far too swimmingly.
It wouldn't be an anime world if something didn't come along and put a bump in the path so to speak.

"Hey hey, wakey wakey!"
"H-Hnnggh…?" Lint groaned out a low rumble from the back of her throat, as an annoying voice broke through the haze of her deep and dark unconsciousness.
Granted, the voice wasn't annoying because it sounded annoying, it only became annoying because it was waking her up!
Then she felt something, likely a finger based on how smooth it was, poking her cheek.

Emphasis on I, because I’m just a clone sent out to do some early scouting while Prime and Uzume talk more details.

God I really hate doing this, but yeah, exactly as it says on the title.
I was busy all day yesterday, pretty much from the moment I woke up till right after the sunset, I was out of the house, doing stuff, real busy.
Then I woke up today, and it was like I never even went to sleep last night.

Meanwhile, said new couch began increasingly wriggling underneath me.

With a small sigh, and a light groan, I plop down onto the floor amongst one of the many, formerly, unused rooms of my palace home, setting my morning cup of orange juice next to me.
I say formerly because it was turned into a warehouse by Rose to store everything Ama had been sending me ever since Odin left and we made that alliance with the Norse.
And oh boy, was there a lot.

2024-10-11 22:58:36 +0000 UTC View PostSo, you may have noticed that Chapter 68 vanished.
That's because it got hidden by the site. The auto-mod caught Kunou calling Nori "a certain word" and assumed they were related.
Of course, we all know they aren't, but the auto-mod can't comprehend that. I shot them a message, but it might take a day or two to get back from them about it.
So! If any of you lot haven't seen it, or are new here for it, give it a little bit, and we'll see what happens.

“Well now,” I muse with a smile, “it’s been a while since I’ve seen you wearing that, hasn’t it?”
“Hush you!” Kunou quickly fires back, “It has! But, you know…” she blushes, and turns away, and although she tries to hide it, I can still see traces of a small smile spreading across her face, “It’s a special day, and I remember how much you liked it, so I figured…why not?...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rose look quite so distraught before.
And it’s not the kind of distraught that I saw etched on her face when she had to deal with Odin’s tomfoolery, no, this was a whole new breed of distraught.
