Even in a mall specializing in anime and cosplay apparel, Tsuzuki Chihiro and Nagasaki Soyo still managed to draw quite a bit of attention.
It wasn’t because of their looks—one was in a suit, the other in a school uniform, neither particularly eye-catching.
The real reason for the stares? They looked like a mother and daughter shopping for a maid outfit together. 2025-03-18 04:12:17 +0000 UTC View Post
"Mom… do we really have to go to the UK…?"
Even though her mother hadn’t driven to pick her up today, Nagasaki Soyo wasn’t thinking about that. In her mind, it was probably because they hadn’t had a chance to walk and talk like this in a long time, so her mother had chosen to forgo the car.
Of course, the real reason was simple—Chihiro didn’t have a car. Even if she di...

If Wakaba Mutsumi's silence was something rather common, then the fact that Togawa Sakiko had been sitting there, maintaining that solemn expression, unmoving like a statue for nearly an hour—only showing any reaction once Nagasaki Soyo and her mother left—was certainly surprising.
But what truly caught Togawa Sakiko off guard was how quickly the doubts she had about So...

The longsword pointed forward, and countless lines surfaced in Saber's vision.
The air around them seemed to freeze, yet behind Saber, a powerful melody still played. The stirring music filled her with an unshakable fighting spirit, igniting the blood in her veins.
Standing before Lancer, Saber felt her power surge once more.
Saber turned around. Before her lay the other side of the river of swords. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she gazed at the Holy Grail, momentarily forgetting her pain.
"The Holy Grail... the Holy Grail..."
No matter how hard Saber had fought in the past, victory had always eluded her. She had never even once truly touched the Grail. And now, a mere mortal summoned to the battle...
