Konbini Ossan Volume 16 — Epilogue: The Story of a Certain Middle-aged Man | | Chapter 1 — A Grand Happy Ending

Ten years after the catastrophe of the corruption incident caused by the Douki, the great disaster later named the “Douki Incident.” “Wait up, wait up~!” Gathered in our garden, playing together, were the goblin children of the Great Forest Autonomous Region, along with a pink-skinned goblin boy. Yes, him. The one who had once been the Douki. Despite all that talk about living inside me and what-not, less than a month later he declared, “ I’m bored! ” manifested himself, and has been living normally like this ever since. Back then, Arisa had stared in exasperation and quipped, “ So you can just come out normally? ” In any case, over these past ten years, the boy has completely become a familiar face, doted on by the goblins of the Great Forest Autonomous Region. Though he himself claimed he was the one looking after the brats. “Yūichi.” A voice called out from behind me. I knew who it was without even turning around. “Arisa.” When I answered, Arisa sat down beside me. “It feels nice.” ...

Konbini Ossan Volume 16 Chapter 16 — To God

When I came to, I was lying in a pure white space. On a whim, I checked my own status. “Status, open.” ━━━━━━━━━━ Name — ERROR Level — ERROR Strength —          ERROR Magic Power — ERROR Vitality —            ERROR Speed —              ERROR Attribute — ERROR Skills — ERROR ━━━━━━━━━━ Even my name, everything, was displayed as ERROR . I understood at once. So this was proof of having reached godhood. “Well done, Yuichi Otogi.” Suddenly, a voice echoed from nowhere. And then the one who appeared was a familiar face. The goddess we had met when we were summoned to this other world. The former Hero, Avril. “Though I guess there’s no point making a dramatic entrance like that~★” The moment she said that, Avril dropped the act, her expression softening into something much more casual. “So, you’ve probably got all kinds of questions, right? Go ahead, ask away?” “Then I won’t hold back.” Things we...

Soul Devourer Chapter 6 Episode 25 — A Summons Without a Choice

The Second seat of the〈 Semi-Tsar 〉, Vlas, who had secretly recruited S-Rank-class major criminals, had reserved an entire luxury restaurant and summoned the masters of several dark clans. On the surface, they appeared to be unremarkable mid-tier clans. Behind the scenes, however, they were full-fledged criminal organizations involved in illegal trading, assassinations, mercenary work, and other illicit activities. The clan masters who led these rough men were all veterans who had survived countless life-and-death situations. Their sharp, blade-like gazes converged upon Vlas. Yet the man himself accepted them all with an easy smile. “Thank you for gathering despite your busy schedules.” Gently swirling the wine in his glass, Vlas spoke calmly. “There is only one reason I called you here today… I have a job for you.” A brief silence followed. Eventually, one of the clan masters asked in a low voice: “...A job for us? Then this is... that kind of work?” “You catch on quickly.” Vlas nodd...

Konbini Ossan Volume 16 Chapter 15 — Warmth

Watching my movement, the boy placed a hand on his own chest as well. “I remember. Looking down on everyone but myself and mocking them. Living while belittling myself. The people I hated so deeply that I thought I could never forgive them.” Admitting it is a little irritating. But I do remember those foolish sides of myself. “I’ve put all of it away inside here.” “Inside... your chest?” The boy lowered his head bitterly. “But I’ve stored warm things there too.” As I said that, I remembered. “Memories with the people precious to me. The moments when I was happy. The people who guided a fool like me. All of it, everything together, exists inside me.” At those words, perhaps the boy was remembering something too. He closed his eyes as though in thought. “So no matter how much there is to resent, I can still remember. I never forget that precious people, things, and memories exist.” Then I asked the boy: “What about you? Is there something warm inside your chest too?” Still holding his ha...

Konbini Ossan Volume 16 Chapter 14 — If You Must Curse

“I will accept both your dream and your curse. Even if you think yourself ugly, I will accept it until the day you can believe that you are not.” As I said that, I moved to the heart of the matter. The words needed to free the world from this boy’s curse. “So, do not curse the world. Curse one of the humans who failed to save you. One of those responsible for creating a world so terrible that it made you curse it. Would you curse me instead?” I did not exist in the era when the boy was alive. I had not harmed him directly. But the present exists only because of the ages that came before, including the age that hurt him, and I live while receiving the benefits of that. If a debt must be repaid, then not someone else. At the very least, let me be the one to pay it back and bring this to an end. “Why?” The boy threw the question at me. “You should have hatred too! Hatred for the world that forced other people’s unfairness onto you!” The moment the boy shouted, the scenery around us change...
