"Well, well, sir, today's conversation has greatly benefited me, hahahaha."
"If what you say is true, and in my lifetime I can lead the Ryougi family back to prosperity, I truly have no way to repay you."
In the reception room of the Ryougi family courtyard, bursts of hearty laughter echoed from time to time.
If it weren't for her extreme familiarity with her husband's voice, Mrs. Ryougi would never have thought that this joyful laughter came from her rather stern husband.

The Two Heavenly Dragons... Red Dragon Emperor... had just completed its rebirth.
"ROOOOOOAR!"
The moment the Red Dragon Emperor was reborn, it let out a fierce roar, a sound that reverberated across the entire small world.
August narrowed his eyes slightly. If it had been the Red Dragon Emperor at full power, he might have been worried, but with only Satan-level strength, it was no trouble at all.
However, what happened next left August stunned.
The Red Dragon E...

The huge monster within the base was being bombarded alternately by high-explosive grenades and magic cannons. The once dozens of meters tall monster, under the continuous bombardment, had its powerful self-repairing ability overwhelmed, causing its body to shrink down to just over ten meters high.

So that's it, the reason she's not at school at this time is because she's visiting the hospital for treatment?
From atop a tall building, Roy watched Fujino Asagami enter the hospital and finally understood why she was in the city at this hour.
Does she believe that her condition, congenital analgesia, can be cured by modern medicine?
That's a bit too naïve.
Now that he understood the reason, Roy didn't linger any longer and turned to leave.

After wandering the Dungeon for several hours, August quickly grew bored and decided to return to his small world.
The small world had long since become August's "paradise." In just one year, it had gathered quite a number of monster girls, especially with the thirty-six mermaids led by Mero. Together, they had created a small village of sorts, with the recently moved tavern now serving as their gathering place.
August spent three days in this world, living a life of luxury akin t...

Although he didn't know the exact time when Kara no Kyoukai began, he could infer that it was very close just by looking at Shiki's age.
He had arranged for Touko Aozaki to keep an eye on Shiki's safety, but since he was here, he wouldn't just stand around.

Upon entering the Dungeon, August immediately expanded the mists of his world, fully engulfing the area. Everywhere he went, monsters were swiftly consumed, without exception.
August walked at a leisurely pace, as though taking a stroll, while slowly making his way deeper into the Dungeon. He was curious to see what the deeper layers were like. Although the Dungeon was in chaos, most of the monsters flooding towards Orario were from the upper levels. The middle layers had few monsters, ...

From the entrance, Altair couldn't see the full picture, but now, having fallen below the large gate, he finally got a clear look at the vast military base square. At this moment, it was a gigantic circular blood pool. From the entrance, it appeared to be a blood pool, but if viewed from above, one would notice that the edges of this blood pool were filled with various gaps.
This indicated that the blood pool was not sourced from outside the square, but rather was dug out from beneath t...

None of them were fools, and none were willing to sacrifice their own children for the sake of others. After all, once peace returned to Orario, if their child had died in the process, even if they had saved Orario, it would be a bitter loss.
As for threatening Loki and Freya, to be honest, they didn't dare.

Yokosuka City, located on the southeastern Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture, is considered part of the Tokyo metropolitan area in economic terms. Broadly speaking, this place could even be called Tokyo.

After Altair drove his Hummer off the highway, he entered the city. But as soon as he did, he was greeted by a ...
