Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 48 — The「Blaze Empress Brigade」

Editor:
I entered the boss room.

A sphere of light descended from above, shining brilliantly — but nothing appeared.

No, something was there. The boss stood right in front of me, meticulously blending into the surroundings, invisible to the naked eye.

After all,【Vital Sense】picked it up, and【Appraisal】showed me its status.

There was no doubt about it — the boss was definitely there.

I immediately activated【Stealth】, closed in, and drove my dagger into its head. The fight ended just like that.


『Magic Power +11 UP』

『Strength +13 UP』

『Endurance +11 UP』

『Agility +11 UP』

『Intelligence +11 UP』

『Spirit +11 UP』

『Dexterity +13 UP』

『Luck +12 UP』


After all, I’d already put an end to a Stampede of monsters of the same rank, and had just cleared an A-rank dungeon before coming here.

There was no chance I’d struggle now. I turned my attention to the treasure chest that appeared and lifted its lid. Inside were the boss’s materials and a green robe.


“I already have a robe, but… depending on its effects, I might switch.”


I returned to the surface through the magic circle and requested material sales and an appraisal.


“The total for the materials is forty-four million yen. As for this robe — it’s the《Cloak of Optical Camouflage》. It allows the wearer to blend into their surroundings, making them harder to perceive, and increases Agility and Spirit by +40.”


Not as perfect as【Stealth】, but more useful than the《Hermit’s Robe》.


“Thank you very much.”


♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢


The next day. After finishing breakfast and getting ready, I sat on the sofa, checking my phone for A-rank dungeons nearby.


Found one! I’ll start with this place.


Tying my shoes quickly, I swung the door open and headed out toward my next target, excitement bubbling in my chest.

As I walked, two men appeared, blocking my path. Judging by their equipment, they were hunters.


“Nice to meet you, Matsubara Yuito. We’re hunters from the「Blaze Empress Brigade」. Could we have a moment of your time?”


Seriously…? First the「Sword King」, and now even the「Blaze Empress Brigade」wants a word with me.

But—

Is this another recruitment attempt?


“I was just about to head to a dungeon. What’s this about?”


“Our leader, The Hellblaze Empress, wishes to speak with you personally.”


“If it’s a recruitment offer, I’ll have to decline.”


“We haven’t been told what the conversation will be about. Please come with us.”


They clearly had every intention of taking me along — whether I agreed or not. Their tone made it obvious they didn’t care about my schedule.

Their arrogance annoyed me, but since I was curious about what this Empress wanted, I decided I’d hear her out — and maybe give her subordinates a piece of my mind while I was at it.

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:
Image
                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
