Threadmarks: Chapter 11: The Journey Aboard the Hogwarts Express
To Allen’s surprise, chatting with the Weasley twins turned out to be far more entertaining than he had anticipated. Even though much of what they said could be found in the series of books he'd read, he still found himself hanging on to every word. It was at that moment that Allen truly...
Three days had passed since we set out on the expedition. We were hanging out at the tavern called The Golden Hole in a back alley of Riveria Town, the safety point on the 18th floor. According to Lulune, the person we requested was supposed to send reinforcements here.
Honestly, I was...
Ryuhei Sanashita was determined to forge a stronger weapon for Akashi Asuka.
Nishimori Tomohiko wanted to steal a few more glances at the senior he admired from up close.
When these two collided, the result was, naturally, not a battlefield of rivalry.
Only children pick sides.
Adults want...
Unfortunately, deceit doesn't last long in front of the Weasley twins, which meant Allen's newfound amusement was quickly cut short. Honestly though, being able to fool these two, famously the most mischievous pair in the wizarding world, for even this long was already a miracle. Chalk it up to...
Threadmarks: Chapter 20: Expedition to the 24th Floor
Preparation
“Hmm, what should I do…”
It’s been two days since Loki and the others showed up. Since then, I’ve been feeling chills and sharp stomach pains, so I bought the same stomach medicine Asfi uses. Actually, it was developed by Mercurius-sama.
Now, what I’m really struggling with is Bell...
The gym was buzzing with noise, but the volleyball court where Akashi Asuka stood was completely silent.
Especially his teammate, Kentaro Kyōtani, who just stood there dumbfounded, mouth agape, unable to say a word.
After a few seconds...
“Pft!”
Someone from the Red Team was the first to...
My name is Tobira Chiba.
Today, my friends and I agreed to meet up at the gym to play volleyball.
Partway through, two of my friends had to leave for other reasons, so we had no choice but to each find a high school student to join us as a temporary teammate.
To be honest, our original plan...
Threadmarks: Chapter 9: Did I Cross Into the Wrong Harry Potter?
As the first rays of morning sunlight spilled into the ancient, fog-shrouded city of London, our protagonist, Allen, stepped out of the orphanage with a wand in one hand and a suitcase in the other, full of energy and excitement.
Today was unlike any other day, Allen was setting off to a school...
Threadmarks: Chapter 19: Up Close: The Lost Child of the Abyss!
The Mercurius Familia is a commerce-focused group selling potions and dungeon supplies. When it comes to famous commerce Familiars, you might think of the Dian Cecht Familia, but Mercurius’ Familia isn’t quite as large.
However, what really sets the Mercurius Familia apart is their range of...
“Hey, little bro, you’re okay playing middle blocker, right?”
“No problem.”
“Good, then let’s start the match!”
After agreeing on their positions and confirming with the opposing side, the game officially began.
Chiba and Akashi Asuka’s team was the Red Team.
Kentarō Kyōtani was on the...
The next day.
Akashi Asuka never saw the dyed-hair college students at the court again.
Don't get the wrong idea.
It wasn't because of him.
After all, this was a multi-sports gymnasium. It was perfectly normal for different groups of people to come and go every day on this "pickup court."...
To Allen’s surprise, he’d been tricked.
There was no headmaster waiting for him. Instead, he opened the door to find a bunch of mischievous kids holding candles. The moment the door swung open, two bouquets exploded in his face, showering him with streamers and confetti. In the middle of the...
Threadmarks: Chapter 18: Charge! Next door to the Loki Familia!
The day after a small celebration with Bell, Lili, and The Hostess of Fertility, I had been working on some documents since morning. (By the way, today was a workday.)
The document was about the red-haired woman that Lefiya mentioned three days ago. It wasn’t exactly a request, but from what...
Threadmarks: Chapter 25: Mistakes Are a Very Common Thing, Aren’t They?
A spike follows a downward flight path.
So in volleyball, even though the blocking jump from a stationary position can’t compare in height to a spiker’s jump with a running approach, blocks still often manage to stop spikes.
Moreover, the so-called “highest contact point” is just theoretical...
“Three-on-three, no problem, right, dude?”
“No problem.”
Akashi Asuka replied.
At a casual sports center like this, pickup games were informal, as long as each side had at least two players, the game could go on. But with just two or three players per side, individual skills had to be...
The continent of Valoran was a place of wonders. Every hero chosen to set foot in the fabled Runeterra possessed immense power. Just like the creed of the League of Legends said, there are no weak heroes, only weak Summoners.
But not even the wisest sages or greatest prophets of Valoran could...
The day after my [Status] update, we set out for the dungeon early in the morning. Lili told us she wanted to sign a contract without any fixed time limit... I guess I was a bit too pushy before.
“Bell-sama, Toki-sama, thank you again for hiring me. I’ll work hard so you won’t ever want to...
By the time we returned to the guild from the dungeon, the sun was already beginning to set. After receiving treatment there, the three of us gathered in the lobby.
“Lili, thanks for today.”
“Yes, thank you as well.”
“So, about the contract, what do you want to do?”
Honestly, I wasn’t fully...
Threadmarks: Chapter 23: Even Family Members Are Competing?
After Akashi Kana’s fierce behavior, Akashi Asuka finally experienced firsthand what it means when people say, “There’s no gender difference between real siblings.”
That night.
Akashi Asuka’s parents, perhaps knowing that the whole family would be together, surprisingly didn’t have to work...
