And then Lin Zhaohe’s New Year’s wish became hoping for the second dimension to disappear so they could work safely until the age of sixty and retire. <<less

After 12 years of training, Cedric Finn Raphael became a perfect paladin.... more>>

Religious enough to be treated as a separate species, he is assigned to the palace of Princess Pine, the darkest and most eccentric in the Mihadas Empire.

“Are you going to sleep with me?”

“… … What did you just say?”

“Sleep with me.”

A garden like a monster forest, carefree servants, a life that changes day and night, and even strange commands that are beyond common sense.

“I am a paladin. A priest with a sword.”

“I’ve slept with a priest before.” Cedric, who has been waiting for the day to be transferred to a place where everything is as strange as the character of Pine, the owner of the palace, one day learns the princess’s secret…

… .

* * *

“Would you like to guess what to do here?”

Pine naturally climbed onto his body. Pine stood up on his thigh and looked closely at his protruding trouser dance, before taking off his clothes. Then she took Cedric’s hand and led it between her legs. As she grabbed his hand again, as he was about to pull it out in surprise, Pine showed him where he should go.

“Hey, I think it’ll be fine because it’s wet… … . I’m not going to put them all in because you’re a big guy, so I’ll try a little.”

The smooth liquid touched the tip of his finger. Cedric couldn’t face Pine any longer and lowered his head with a reddened face. <<less

Year 3154, after the failure to suppress the Evil God, undercurrents surged in the Citadel and panic spread.... more>>

I was captured by the Evil God and became a Saintess…

When I saw my new self in the mirror, my face turned ashen at once.

“Become my servant… Mr. Saint… hmm… should I call you Ms. Saintess now?” The little Evil God smiled, the outline of the Citadel of Academia reflecting in her blood-red eyes.

Are you kidding me?! There is no way I, Xing Mo, a guardian of the Citadel, would help you, an Outer God, infiltrate our city!

Do you think that by turning me into a beautiful girl and branding me, I will be easily corrupted? I am the Goddess’s… ah!

……

The following day, I endured the humiliation of putting on a skirt. I helped the Young Ancestor to infiltrate the Citadel, all the while secretly plotting to take down the hateful loli Evil God…

Just you wait! Watch me as I tame you and make you yield to me!

Beritt was feared by the children in Fraulia’s abbot for her unkind and dark demeanor, but Fraulia did not have that impression of her. She even felt like she knew Beritt's voice even though it was her first time meeting her.

Ahead of a match, she came to possess Saintess ‘Maria Estelle’ from her favorite otome game [Hero Maker].... more>>

In order to return back to reality, she had to gather all of the powerful male protagonists one by one and defeat the Demon King.
The problem was that this s*upid game only had bad endings.

However, things got a little complicated.

* * *

“Move aside.”
“…….”
“I said move aside, Allen Iroas.”

The Demon King’s Castle was just a few steps away.

“You’ve always been like this. Always forcing me to make difficult decisions.”
“What are you doing right now.”
“Maria Estelle, there’s only one thing I want.”
“Let go of me.”
“I just need you to stay by my side forever.”
“…….”

Forever.

"If that's true, then I will prove your innocence!"

The realization that the demon hadn't committed a sin changed the course of their encounter. Initially just a ploy to delay the inevitable confrontation, this desperate declaration significantly altered Meril's destiny. <<less

The Iron Wall Priest, Payne.... more>>

For several weeks, an unknown fever of pleasure had been overwhelming him.

“Priest, come to your senses!”

During morning prayers, not only did his body grow hot, but even during confession, lust would surge within him.

‘How did my body end up like this?’

While hurriedly avoiding others’ gaze and hiding, he inadvertently a–aulted a maid who had entered the room.

What should he do about this sin?

His heart was torn, and his once sacred past was now covered in filth.

The most horrifying thing was that a lifetime of atonement wouldn’t be enough.

As he was about to kneel and apologize to the wounded maid, she whispered.

“Well, I actually, enjoyed it.”

“…Excuse me?”

“What I did with the priest… I liked it.”

He stared at the maid, dumbfounded.

“Shall I help you then?”

The succubus in a maid’s disguise, said this as she began to undo the priest’s robes. <<less

One day, Alan, a mere commoner, met a girl who was being bullied by a few boys.
The moment he saw her beautiful silver hair, memories of a world he didn’t recognize flowed into his mind.... more>>

W-What kind of memory is this ……?

He managed to fight off the bullies, and as he talked with the girl, he realized that this world was a world in a light novel, and that the girl in front of him was Charlotte, the saint heroine of the story.
At the same time, he realized that he is a character who dies early in the story.
He tries to escape as soon as possible, but Charlotte’s smile attracts him and they become friends, playing together every day.

Five years later, Charlotte is adopted by a nobleman because she is a saint.
Charlotte thought she would never see him again, but when they parted, they vowed to meet again at Nobilitas Academy, where the nobles and high-achieving commoners gather.

Then, after overcoming the threat of death, he is reunited with Charlotte for the first time in a long time at the school! ……he was so happy about that but……

“I don’t want to be apart from you forever. Let’s be together forever.”

“Who is that woman? Are you no longer satisfied with me if you are cheating on me? ……”

Yes! Something’s very heavy!
At first he was puzzled by the fact that Charlotte had become a yandere.
But then he realized.

Isn’t she still cute after all? Then anything is fine. <<less

How could I make my voice be heard?... more>>

“The person I want to hear the most from is not opening her mouth.”

“........”

“My wife just sits quietly all the time.”

Escallion moved with heavy steps towards Belladonna, who was sitting still on the bed. Then, he forcefully grabbed her chin and lifted her head up.

'How can I speak?'

“..........”

Looking at her shaking eyes, he cl…ked his tongue, relaxed his hand holding her chin, and turned around. Her eyes were filled with Escalion's massive back muscles as he picked up the gown that had fallen haphazardly on the floor and put it on.

“...Hiccup.”

Oh no! Belladonna closed her eyes tightly, in despair. I hope he didn't hear it...

“Hiccup? Was it you?"

He heard. This is bad. I hope he doesn't come here. Please leave... Escallion slowly turned his head. His dark, shining eyes fixed on Belladonna.

"Did you just make a sound?"

His lips curled dangerously upwards.

‘The last Saint of Astanya.’

‘Astanya’s smile.’

‘A living portrait of Astanya.’

When I opened my eyes, I found myself the only daughter of the Pope, praised by everyone, and a Saint who could not speak.

​
My young husband stutters. Has a face with scales on it. Hands with scars on it. I worked hard to look after my husband who looked like that.

“Keep eating. You have to eat a lot so you can be taller than me.”
“Do I have to be taller than Cheria?”
“…”
“Well.. I- I like that Cheria is taller than me…”

Did I work too hard? Where did my soft and squishy husband who used to be so fluffy go? Instead he just became a slightly insane man.

“Did they die? It’s become easier now.”
“…What?”
“People who look at human lives like they were bugs. That’s the type of person I think is tr*sh.”

Is he watching what he does around me? <<less

Brain damage and amnesia caused by the bombing.... more>>

That's how I lost myself. But I have a husband.

"Even if you were to kill me, I would willingly die because I love you enough."

He would gladly sacrifice his life if I wanted to.

"Do you want me to kill that person for you? If you want, I can do it."

He is a husband who would willingly sacrifice others' lives if I wanted to.

"I want my memories back."

"Forget it. Me, you, everything."

But the only thing he can’t give me is memories.

"Not knowing anything is the remedy."

Because there is a terrifying truth lurking in my past.

And when I finally face the truth.

"You swindler, you deceived me!"

I wanted to kill my husband. <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...
