End of Century Chapter 02

"The World Twenty Years Later" "Huff, huff, huff, huff..."    Kato and the man panted heavily. "For now, it's safe here. Well, relatively."    The place the two had taken refuge in was the ruins of a supermarket.    someone must have lived here For a while. Remnants of makeshift barricades made of iron bars were left behind, and torn futons and bags were scattered around. "Um, I don't know who you are, but... thank you for saving me." "Ah. But what were you doing in a place like that?" (...That's what I want to ask)    Thinking this, Kato briefly recounted what had happened until now. "No, I don't know either... I woke up in an  unfamiliar room on some apartment. And When I went outside, the city was like this..." "What...!?"    The man looked at Kato with a puzzled expression.    Kato, in turn, gazed out at the desolate cityscape from the supermarket window, feeling that dangerous creatures might att...

TOD Chapter 02 part 2

An incident involving a car accident about ten years ago must have caused Mrs. Raffes to endure an extraordinary heartache.  A sorrow that still hasn't completely vanished from her mind.  It is her longing for her loved ones that drives her to shelter abandoned and less fortunate children in her home.  As a diversion from her sadness, it also rekindles her long-buried love for fellow beings in the ocean of grief. There are ten children she cares for in her home.  They are Kim Marcus, Zac Cullum, Lola Penty, Joanne Kirsty, Toby Brown, Deborah White, Lily Gordon, Sara Harlone, Tom Wildblood, and Isla.  These children each have different stories, which is why they reside in her home. The first child she took in was Isla.  The name Isla itself comes from a writing on her hand, likely made by the person who left her.  Ten years ago, Mrs. Raffes found Isla crying loudly under a large oak tree near the lake, in the middle of the forest.  At that time, Mr...

Little Apostle Chapter 07

"Sacred Beasts"     The day after Minato formed a contract with Pipi...    When Minato woke up, he found Taro flipping through Sarakia Tome, While humming. "Taro?" "Kyūn."    Minato looked at the page Taro had opened. ––––––––––––––––––– ※ Minato is not at the level where he can make a contract with divine beasts. With effort, it might be possible someday. ––––––––––––––––––– "...Wafu."    Taro looked dejected.     It seemed he had been secretly researching how Minato could make a contract with him. "Even if we don't make a contract, Taro, you're special to me." "Wafu."    Minato hugged Taro tightly. Taro slowly wagged his tail. "I'll work hard too!" "Wafu wafu!"    While they were doing this, Pipi was sleeping comfortably.    After a while, Pipi woke up and Minato went with him to catch river fish and collect rocora fruit.     Once they secured their food, they returned to the cave entra...

Little Apostle Chapter 06

The Meaning of "Borrowing Strength" "It's a Strange way to flying, isn't it?"  "Wafuu~"    Minato and Taro murmured as they watched the flying phoenix.    It wasn't like a normal bird flying. It was hovering inside a nest.    But it wasn't flapping its wings rapidly like how a hummingbird hovering.     It was fluttering gently, floating in the air. "Maybe because it's a sacred beast?"  "Wafu~"    As Minato and Taro were discussing this, the phoenix descended.    Then, it hovered in front of Minato. "Kyu~!"    The phoenix thanked Minato and Taro for their help. "It's okay, don't worry about it."  "Wafu~"    Over these three days, Minato had been gradually understanding what the phoenix was trying to convey.     This was thanks to the effect of his skill "Apostle" and his language comprehension growth.    However, Minato didn't pay too much attention to it. "Kyuu...

Mrs Raffles Residence Ten years later...  This is Edensor, a beautiful village located in Derbyshire, England. The seventh house on the western side of the apple orchard is almost indistinguishable from the surrounding houses, its foundation of mountain stone appearing steadfast in supporting the main structure despite standing for many years. The house fence is a faded red, having gone years without a fresh coat of paint. Some of the wood appears brittle and weathered. A swarm of termites is busy constructing their earthen nests. A large dark blue dragonfly is seen poised atop a wooden fence, its expression calm, eyes darting, its quest for the finest dragonfly princess seemingly yet to yield joyous results. Nectar-sipping winged insects flit about, selecting and settling on the chosen blossoms. Perhaps for Them the most beautiful flowers will offer the sweetest nectar as well. Bees and beetles hums in harmony, eager not to be outdone in their quest for nectar, displaying their fi...

"Pursuer of the End of the Century" Chapter 1: "The Awakened Boy" "---Wha...?"    I awoke with a sharp headache.    The first thing that greeted my sleepy eyes was an unfamiliar ceiling. In a dilapidated room. "...?"    While Rubbing his head that still tingling from the headache, Hyogo Kato slowly got up.     With short black hair and an average build, aside from his menacing gaze, Kato Hyogo, a seventeen-year-old boy, didn't possess any particularly distinctive features.     Seeing himself wrapped in the school-designated tracksuit, he wondered if he had just returned from club activities.    Kato made this judgment based on his own appearance.    ---After all, Kato completely failed to comprehend the current situation. "Returning from club activities... right? So, where is this?"    The last thing he could remember was the club activities at school.     And yet, the place he sudde...
