Thanks to that newspaper photo, Tom had suddenly become the talk of the French wizarding world. Plenty of people recognized him the moment he appeared in public.
Most in the market were content to watch curiously from a distance, but a few enthusiastic types came right up to him.
France had a much stronger alchemy culture than most countries—at Beauxbatons, students could take alchemy as an elective starting in their third year, and anyone who achieve...

On the high ground at Rome's northwest corner stood the Papal States.
Barely half a square kilometer in size, this tiny city-state was still the spiritual heart of over two billion believers worldwide.
And today, that sacred heart was about to receive three very unwelcome guests.
"I regret this already."
Under the blazing sun, Alice sat on a bench, parasol in hand, wearing a white dress with a light shawl, and let out a heartfelt groan. "I r...

Duke Goddodin's estate
At Princess Alice's warm invitation, Ryo arrived at the mansion and headed straight for her bedroom.
The estate was lavish, filled with priceless art and furniture arranged by masterful hands, elegant yet refined, exuding an air of history.
Walking through the gothic-style halls, Ryo smiled faintly at the figure ahead of him and said, "So, Alice, I think you owe me an explanation. Why call me here alone, lea...

Seeing Tiramy, Macaron, and Moffle all burning with passion, Takuma nodded.
He then turned his gaze to the Elementario quartet.
"Muse, Salama, Kobory, Sylphy."
"You four are tomorrow's trump card."
"When guests arrive at your stage, exhausted in body, mind, and spirit..."
He paused, his tone full of temptation.
"Your performance will brand this experience into their memory for...

Takuma snapped his fingers, and his grin turned just a little wicked.
"So tell me—why should we act like some pathetic beggars, wagging our tails and pleading for scraps?"
His gaze swept over Isuzu, then the entire crowd.
"Deep down, you've already decided that Amagi Brilliant Park is worthless garbage. That's why your first instinct is to slash prices, beg for visitors, and lower yourselves just to survive.
"The more pathetic you act, the...

"I'll just eliminate every last one of you."
The instant Tohru's words fell, the space behind her twisted violently. A massive, terrifying, emerald-green dragon silhouette loomed into existence, flickering like a nightmare.
That raw projection of a high-tier lifeform instantly gripped every fairy's soul like a vice.
Isuzu's entire body locked up as if she'd been thrown into an icehouse.
More than anyone else present, she understood what that...

Amagi Brilliant Park
This time, the place was nothing like the gloomy wasteland it had been yesterday.
Right now, the entire park was buzzing with a wild, almost manic energy.
Finally, it became worth the word "Brilliant."

Inside the "Real Employees" dorms—

Moffle was clutching his phone, shaking all over from excitemen...

Many of the guests stared, wide-eyed. None of them had expected the Rosier family to make a move so early.
No wonder, after Tom's article was published, the Rosiers didn't get angry—instead, they immediately ran a follow-up piece thanking Tom for his rational and objective analysis, indirectly confirming that all of his information was accurate.
Even the few families with Muggle ancestry publicly admitted it.
Turns out there had been a secret de...

Everyone immediately grabbed their notebooks, turning them over and studying them carefully.
The basic enchantments—self-repair, waterproofing, fire resistance, and durability—were obvious at a glance. But the deeper secrets lay hidden within. Opening the notebook revealed the familiar registry page Fleur had seen before, with the rest of the pages still blank.
It didn't take long for Leonel, Beauxbatons' alchemy professor, to notice something unusual.

Rome – Outskirts
A young girl approached the edge of the city.
She looked no older than twelve or thirteen, a white-skinned beauty with golden curls and a face so flawless it seemed like a master dollmaker had poured their whole soul into crafting her.
She wore a black dress that looked almost like mourning attire—hardly the kind of outfit for running—but she moved quickly across the grassland until she stopped at a patch wh...

Alice finally let out the breath she'd been holding when she saw the two Campiones leave.
She even patted her chest dramatically, muttering, "Whew, that scared me half to death. I really thought those two were going to fight right here."
Even if she was just a spirit projection, she still had a soul fragment. If it got damaged, she'd be bedridden for months.
And since her real body was already so weak she...

After boosting her Desert Eagle to Amplification +3, Gwen could clearly feel its divine attribute had risen to 133.1% of its original strength.
Not the raw but the divine attribute.
"So these ten percent boosts… they apply to anything we put through either machine?"
Shiroyasha's eyes gleamed with excitement.
If that was true, she could already imagine just how much these two machines would shake up their increasingly dull Little Garden.

Shared Space, Main City
Inside the grand palace marked as the "Members-Only Zone."
Several figures were gathered around two nearly identical machines. They had the same design and shape, except for a few decorative details — one trimmed in gold, the other in red — to tell them apart.
"Enhancing and amplifying…"
Shiroyasha, who had once seen the unfinished prototypes in Veyron's hands, tapped on the golden machine. "So...

If there was a way to pull this off without relying on Carl or any underhanded schemes, Morgana wouldn't mind rewriting her plans entirely.
And now that this guy had appeared, she had the creeping feeling that her partnership with Carl might not even work anymore.
In fact… she was starting to think Carl himself might be in danger.
After all, the one who actually wanted to stir up chaos and death on Earth was Carl, not her.

Nicolas had called the gathering formal, so bringing a companion—like Fleur—wasn't out of place. Tom, however, had no intention of bringing Gabrielle along.
But you can't give the older sister new clothes and leave the younger one out. Once again, Tom stepped into his role as the great balancer of the household and simply ordered a set of dress robes for each of them. Hardly cost him anything anyway.
In certain social circles, wearing the same outfit twic...

"Achoo!"
Kicked out by Grindelwald, Tom sneezed while buried in research on Firestorm.
He didn't even need to think—Snape was definitely cursing him somewhere.
So ungrateful. After all, Tom had spent two and a half hours in the romance section of a bookstore picking out that Christmas gift.
And don't think it's impossible for that kind of book to show up in a British shop. Shakespeare was the original master of melodrama—Romeo and Juliet...

In the corner of the parking lot.
Takuma leaned casually against a car, sizing up the blonde girl standing in front of him.
"Tohru. I can take you in."
"But in my house, we play by my rules."
"Mm-hm! No problem!"
Tohru nodded like a bobblehead, golden eyes sparkling with anticipation, terrified he might change his mind.
He raised a finger, like he was lecturing a mischievous husky.

The morning air was damp and cold with mountain mist.
Tohru, the ugly green dragon, hadn't slept a wink.
Takuma's silhouette refused to leave her mind.
When he dispelled the divine curse, he was calm.
When he seized half her power, he was ruthless.
When he tossed her roasted meat, he was merciful.
And that coat—still carrying his warmth—that he'd draped over her battered form.
Everything about him was full of contradict...

The first rays of sunlight slipped through the curtains.
Mai Sakurajima opened her eyes, still half-asleep, but the first thing she felt was her body—warm and real. She hadn't faded away. She was still here.
Turning her head, she saw the face sleeping beside her, unreal in its manly beauty.
Takuma Kurosawa.

Downstairs, outside the apartment, at a 24-hour convenience store.
Takuma pushed a cart lazily through the aisles, as if he had all the time in the world. He picked up a set of men's loungewear, a towel, a toothbrush, then casually added two cans of beer and a bag of chips.
The whole time, Mai Sakurajima's face was burning red. She kept her head down, letting him hold her hand tight with interlocked fingers.
At checkout, Mai darted ahead and slapped dow...

"Someone like me, who's smart and hardworking, ends up with him? Ugh! Don't let me find out who wrote this, or I swear I'll test out a Transfiguration spell on them."

Inside the guild hall, Rimuru looked utterly devastated.
The reason? He was wearing a girl's school uniform.
The skirt was ridiculously short, barely covering his thighs. His pale, slender legs were completely exposed, and to top it off, someone had stuck a cute little hairpin in his hair. At this point, he just wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
He never thought he'd see the day. 'Tomorrow,' he swore, 'he was going to burn down Whitebeard's shi...

But Alec immediately took a subtle step back, replying coolly, "Drop that nauseating act, you venomous witch."
Alice's smile never wavered. She even feigned surprise.
"Oh my, how cruel. Aren't we friends?"
Alec let out a sharp laugh, eyes full of scorn.

Athena must be a true god.
No, no. Impossible. There was no way a Campione and a God could actually cooperate.
After the initial shock, Alice quickly dismissed the ridiculous thought and scrambled to find a more reasonable explanation.
Athena was a triple goddess. If she descended in her complete form, she would hold at least three divine personas.
If a Campione killed Athena and bound her as a subordinate, they'd only take one of those pers...

Campiones were willful, terrifying beings. If they found out a group of 'ants' had been treating them as research subjects, Witenagemot's fate was sealed.
