Ylli and Hotaru often worked together. Hotaru wasn’t a stranger to Ylli’s work habits and discipline. She didn’t trust Ylli because they worked together — although that was, admittedly, a large part of it — but rather because they were friends. And because they met through work. So work was a big thing for Hotaru. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, she felt it would be wrong if it wasn’t like that. And still, in the spaces between their jobs, she’d gotten to know Ylli di...

- About this, you're the best at it, Blue! You live in Levitheas, no? You were at the lowest temperature ever! You should try it!    Collett pushes Blue from behind when Lana just stands nearby, watching them. The two girls have decided to go on a trip to Neo-Maera to visit Lana because she has caught a cold after a rough trip when she got into this realm. She was submerged in the water for too long in the winter; what torture! She has been sick for a week and has just recently been ...

Riel seemed to doubt Therasia’s ability to turn the ice block into anything substantial. That was alright — Therasia doubted her own ability to make anything substantial out of ice too. But she’d be damned if she gave up now, especially after she’d dragged Riel all the way there. Or he’d dragged her, maybe, she wasn’t sure. Somebody had to make a suggestion first, but somebody also had to be bold enough to follow through. If she had to bet on it, she’d bet on herself being the b...

   The mission leaves every girl in a terrible, exhausted state. All of them look like they are not waking up anymore. Those who are still conscious have bags under their eyes and have been dozing off at any moment. But at least the realm is in peace now, and gladly, none of them were killed during the crazy, large-scale battle. Their companions are also drained out; they'll need a long time of rest and delicious food to gain back the lost artifact power. Both humans and the critters got to...

   After the day of the promise, she has had enough. Tamao is constantly uncertain about when to give up and which boundaries to honor. She continues to tease her beloved sister and push her past her breaking point.    To be honest, Yashi wished Tamao had dropped dead when she shot at her parachute. Before the mission starts, before the two human teams merge into one, Yashi has told everyone in the squad that she has unexplainable discomfort while staying in the same place as Tamao...

   Tokuko checked the driver of their ship thoroughly before leaving the navigator room. She has been the one who controls this ship since the start of this mission. But now, she's switching to another role that is much more important: sneaking onto the first ship and stealing the vault key, which is secured very well. When the sun is rising, the sky is dimmed with faint light, and the new-day clouds are dyed a pastel pink tone. Tokuko has fluently mastered the control board and all buttons...

Riel had been minding his own business, doing his best to ignore the snow and the biting weather, when a snowball landed right between his hairline and the neckline of his jacket. It shattered on the impact, oozing down his clothes across his skin, and he hissed and ducked on instinct. It was a good instinct, too. Another snowball whizzed right past the stop where he’d been standing. Maybe it wouldn’t have landed right in his face, but Riel was glad that he didn’t have to find out the h...

Makenna hummed along with the music playing on her radio, her fox tail swishing to the beat as she carefully plopped mini marshmallows in the mugs of hot chocolate sitting on her serving tray. Once she had the marshmallows in the mug, she stashed away the bag then carefully grabbed the tray and made her way to the living room where her friends Rhapsody and Lisette were sitting and chatting away on her couch. ...
