An event where boys and girls who have turned 10 years old go to forests, caves, and other places designated near their residential area—places commonly called dungeons—to test their skills and courage. That is what the Trial Ceremony is. In this world, 10 years old is an age where, while not yet an adult, it's inappropriate to treat them as a child, and they receive treatment as if they're half-adult. Accordingly, from this age many children need to learn martial arts and magic and do things…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
We were making steady progress deeper into the forest. Our destination was the Sacred Rock, as it was called—a large boulder located at what was considered the deepest part of this forest. The condition for clearing this trial was to reach that point and bring back a fragment. It wasn't particularly difficult. The atmosphere might be somewhat intimidating, but this forest didn't have very strong monsters. Even children could defeat them if they tried hard enough. Well, of course, if you…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
- After that, we didn't encounter any monsters at all along the way. It might be because we took a relatively open and safe path, but even so, I hardly sensed any presences. Did the guards exterminate them all? I did tell them to at least leave some small fry monsters, keeping in mind the purpose of the trial ceremony. Well, I suppose I should think of it as not having to waste stamina or nerves unnecessarily. So that's how we proceeded without any obstacles and reached the Sacred Rock, the…

- "Uwaaaaaaah?!" The moment I realized it was a slash meant to cut me down, I twisted my body and leaped back. It could be called a reflex at this point—I instinctively judged that getting hit would be bad. And that judgment seemed to be correct. The black shadow that was released passed through where I had been standing, then sliced through the trees behind me as if meeting no resistance at all. A gust of wind assaulted me belatedly. Branches and leaves were blown wildly about, rustling…

- "Uwaaaaaaah?! What, what is it?!" "The rock, the rock is split...?!" As expected, the children were in a state of panic. Well, it was no wonder—their missing friend had suddenly appeared, and just when they wondered what would happen, the giant rock behind them was destroyed. ...That was close, really close. If I'd been one second late, it wouldn't have been the rock that was split in two but everyone here. The boys, Eleanore, everyone... Thinking about it made my spine…

“Wedding… gift?”Rosvitha didn’t quite understand.A wedding gift she could comprehend – although Grandmother Veronica was strict, she had always been good to her and her sister Isabella. When they were young, both sisters would receive gifts from their grandmother on important holidays.Her “marriage” to Leon had been very… low-key, and her grandmother had only found out about it later.So receiving a wedding gift now wasn’t particularly strange.What really puzzled Rosvitha was:Why would…- 140.4 K • Ongoing

- "I hope our family's dinner suits your taste, Helena." Leon's family of five and today's little guest sat around the dinner table. The dinner was very lavish, with several additional dishes added to the original welcome-home meal for Noia to express their hospitality toward Helena. Helena was also very polite, never dropping her formal speech, and her manners were impeccable, giving people an impression of sincerity and grace. It was impressive to see such social skills at such a young…

- On Friday evening, Leon's family sat in the pavilion in the temple's front courtyard, waiting for the 'school bus' Leviathan. Muen stood in the yard, shielding her eyes with her small hand, gazing at the distant burning clouds. She stood on tiptoe, her tail swaying back and forth, her anticipation for her sister's return home evident without words. "Muen, your sister won't be back for a while yet. Don't be so anxious, come sit and wait with us," Rosvitha reminded her. Muen reluctantly withdrew…

- In the Empire, within a certain underground facility in the Imperial City, the sounds were swallowed by thick stone walls, creating a mysterious and cold atmosphere. In this deep, hidden space, Ailandy, the Imperial Court Sorcerer and highest commander of the Empire's Dragon Slaying Army, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze stern and composed. "Even though it's been dead for so long, you can still faintly feel its majesty," Ailandy's voice echoed softly in the secret chamber, his eyes…
