Exams had never really been a challenge—at least, not for Ichin or Utaha.
Even with others aiming for the top spot in the grade rankings, it didn’t pose much of a threat.
With their steady routine of reading and working through practice problems, the midterm exams a week later went smoothly, and once again, the two comfortably secured the top two positions in the year.

In the living room on the first floor of the Wonderland space.
When Nolan and Lisa came down, they found that Ningguang had already gathered several key figures—Lumine, Acting Grand Master Jean, Raiden Ei, and Nahida.
They were the last ones to arrive.
"You’re so slow," Paimon, floating next to Lumine, cast a disapproving glance at Nolan.

“Sensei, can you tell us what this is about?” Ichin asked.
With her lesson plan in hand, Hiratsuka gave them a rare smile.
“Don’t worry, it’s good news. I’ll explain once we get to the office.”
Soon, the three of them a...
2025-07-02 04:12:53 +0000 UTC View PostOn Tuesday afternoon, after school, Ichin and Utaha spent some time in the Service Club before skipping a trip to the company. Instead, they drove to the supermarket, bought a bunch of groceries, and returned home.
Half an hour later, the front door opened, and Ichin’s parents returned, dragging their suitcases behind them.
“We’re back!”
Ichin was busy in the kitchen p...

Aside from meals and playing with the cats, they now also went downstairs after dinner to hang out with Kō and the others—chatting, gaming, and relaxing—thanks to Eriri temporarily crashing with them.
On Monday morning, as usual, Ichin and Utaha got up early. After a rou...

“Seriously, am I even their daughter?! They only told me this morning that they were going on a trip—and not just for a day or two, but four whole days! And now I’m supposed to take care of myself?!”
Hearing that, Utaha couldn’t he...

Utaha turned her head to look at Peppa nestled in Yukino’s arms and chuckled.
“This little one’s just like that—goofy and laid-back. All she does is eat and sleep without a care in the world. I thought the same as you at first, but Ichin said it’s totally normal for orange tabby cats to be a bit dopey.”
“R-Really?”
Yukino lowered her head...

Wedged between Eriri and Haruno, Yukino adjusted her posture slightly before commenting, “I still can’t quite believe it… Mom actually agreed to come out for dinner—and even went to the beauty salon, of all things.”

Unknowingly, large snowflakes began falling from the sky.
Hajime didn’t feel cold at all. He continued until dusk, only stopping when Ryo returned.
“Captain, there’s a mission.”
Hajime nodded and leapt down from the rooftop. “What mission?”
Ryo replied, “We’ll set out tomorrow...

Hearing her mother’s cheer, Eriri visibly flinched.
Her teammate immediately noticed and whispered, “Eriri, are you nervous?”

At the same time, she noticed her older sister Haruno sitting between their mother and Utaha.

After the second-year boys’ 50-meter sprint ended, Ichin glanced around and asked, “I’ve been meaning to ask—where did Eriri run off to?”
From the other side, Sayuri S...

Instantly, Nolan found himself cloaked in shadow.
He carefully felt the change—yet discovered that the suppression from the crimson moonlight hadn’t lessened at all.
Could it be due to reflections from the ground and surroundin...

Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Hajime refocused his thoughts entirely on the development of his space-time ninjutsu.
Tomorrow was the day his status would refresh—he didn’t have much time left.
“Relying solely on clones for positioning is still too limiting.”
Returning to the inn, Hajime thought to himself,
“Looks like I need to proceed from two fronts.”
“One, control a logistics officer in Sunagakure to gather intel.”
“Two, investigate where the supplies from Sunagakure are being transported.”
“As for the logistics officer… I’ll make my move tonight.”
