Title: Who Is the Closest and Most Important?
As Manaka and Artoria returned to the Natsukawa house, upon entering, they saw Naoki lounging on the sofa, watching TV.
Seeing them return, Naoki turned off the TV and stood up. “Done shopping? Is that what Pendragon’s wearing now? Looks pretty good.”
...
Title: Who Understands Each Other the Most?
At the same time, in the supermarket.

Title: When Five Orcs Surround a Girl
“Ugh!”
The Frenzy Boar leaps in place, letting out a piercing squeal that echoes through the sky.
Yuu’s beast language skills can’t decipher what the Frenzy Boar is shouting, but he feels that compared to the sound it made before dying, this one is far m...
Title: Sword Art Online
Perhaps because it hasn’t been fully developed yet.

Title: Then You’re Really Brave

Title: No Way I’m Working Part-Time
For students, summer in Tokyo feels as leisurely as usual.
Yuu finishes freshening up, changes out of his pajamas, and descends the stairs bathed in golden sunlight, like piano keys.
As he heads to the kitchen, he recalls the 33-day love story that only he remem...
Title: Who Is the One Who Can’t Win?
“Have you heard? About that Mion River incident…”
“Oh, the morning news said it was pretty big.”
“An explosion, right? I saw it last night.”
“Everyone must’ve seen it, right? A gas explosion?”
“Seems like it… When was t...
Title: Who Will Live Together?
The next morning.
Woken by the alarm, Artoria, lying on the floor, rubbed her eyes and sat up. “Morning already? Master… seems to have woken up first.”
Last night, since Artoria had no place to stay, Naoki had immediately told her to sleep on the floor in his roo...
Title: Who Will Fight Alongside?
In the second-floor bedroom of the Natsukawa house.
Sitting face-to-face with Artoria on his bed, with the Holy Sword lying between them, Naoki stared at her. “Alright, now you can explain properly, Pendragon. Who exactly are you? What was that monster? And how did that sit...

In a suite at a luxurio...
Title: Is the Lie Sunlight or Snow?
The pain in his chest was intense. Yuu unconsciously bit his lip, furrowing his brow as he looked up, facing a gray sky that seemed on the verge of rain.
Yet, the tears ultimately didn’t fall from his face.
He held them back, because he had promised to be her he...
Title: The Final Memory Between You and Me
“Here… is…”
As his consciousness returned, Yuu instinctively opened his eyes. His wary gaze swept around, but he froze.
This was clearly not reality, nor any place he recognized.
…Perhaps it wasn’t even the world he knew.
“An...
Title: The Eternal Night Beneath the Snow Will Finally Arrive
Before entering the inn, Haruno went to a nearby convenience store to buy a can of beer.
Due to her “allergy” to soju last time, she didn’t try to persuade Yuu to drink with her. Instead, she grabbed a bottle of sports drink for him and boug...
Title: Recalling the Youth That Has Passed
After getting off Yuu’s back and strolling briefly to enjoy the cool breeze, Haruno showed him her phone screen, displaying a Google Maps route.
“The nearest inn is still a kilometer away. Should we walk or…?”
“I’ll carry you and run there?” Y...
Title: Who Saved the City?
The blinding light gradually faded from view.
As his eyes slowly adjusted to the changing light, Naoki quickly looked around, and then—
“What’s going on?! Why am I so high up?!”
Height!
That was the first thought that crossed Naoki’s mind. Now, ...
Title: Who Is the One Who Can Save the World?
A mysterious creature suddenly appeared.
A colossal being destroying the city.
A dangerous entity that human military forces couldn’t possibly defeat.
A monster.
The moment Naoki stepped out of the house, the moment he looked toward t...
Title: Who Are These Two Who Seem Like a Married Couple?
Naoki was deeply regretting it now—so, so deeply regretting it.
Inviting Artoria to his house for dinner—if he could, he’d go back in time and strangle himself for agreeing to such a request.
“Sorry, Natsukawa, could you add another bo...
Title: The Sun Beneath the Snow
“So, what’s your answer?”
Seeing Yuu only look at her daughter with a hint of resignation, as if prepared for this, neither panicked nor intimidated.
Though she already knew the answer in her heart, Saori still fixed him with a sharp gaze, then asked again with ...
Title: No Matter What, the Woman Yuu Loves Is Still So Perverse
Without answering, Haruno gazed into the distance, muttering softly: “That’s the car.”
“Hm?”
As Yuu wondered, the blinding headlights of a car suddenly swept over their silhouettes.
The sound of brakes was clear in th...
Title: The Long Road, Where Does It End?
Suddenly, Haruno lowered her head, quickly devouring the super spicy curry as red as her cheeks.
“But there’s still a week before school starts. How about three days from now, we go on a two-day, one-night hot spring trip…?”
“If you’re embarrassed...
Title: The Eternal Night Embraces the Light (Final Part)
Finally, hand in hand, the two of them left the spot with feigned affection, amidst the approving gazes and applause from the surrounding crowd.
“Are they misunderstanding something?” Yuu whispered in her ear.
“Mhm… Maybe they thought ...
Title: The Eternal Night Embraces the Light (Middle Part)

“If there were piano wires across the track, once the coaster zooms down…”
“You’ve been watching too much Conan.” Yuu firmly cut off her wild im...
Title: Who’s the One Who’s Not Full?
“You… Pendragon-san?”
“Huh? Oh, yes, that’s me.”
Hearing a voice from behind, Artoria quickly turned and responded. “I remember you… Miss Sajyou, who sits across from me, right?”
“Yes, what a coincidence to meet you here. Are you ...
Title: Who Is Lurking in the Darkness?
The school rooftop.
After Naoki pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was Manaka sitting nearby on the floor, gazing at the sky.
As if hearing the door open, Manaka turned her head toward it and waved at Naoki. “All done, Naoki?”
“Rather t...
Title: Who’s the One with Chunibyo?
The area behind the school building was a wide, empty lot. Typically, no one came here unless they were confessing their feelings to a crush.
Usually, it was just a quiet, vacant space.
“So? What exactly did you want to talk about, Pendragon-san?”
N...
Title: The Eternal Night Embraces the Light (Part 1)
Five minutes before the agreed time.
A young woman with shoulder-length black hair, a slender and graceful figure, exuding confidence in every movement, emerged from the crowd and walked straight toward him.
“Hmph, not bad~”
As if giv...
