All Hana wanted was a simple life. Instead, she has her hands full sending a terrorist organization packing, saving her school from destruction, and rescuing her twin sister from the clutches of their terrible parents! Plus, she has to stay on her toes to keep her husband's romantic advances at bay. At this point, living a normal life and flying under the radar are simply impossible. News about who she is has spread far and wide, finally reaching Yukizasa Sankourou, a famous scion from one of the five clans and Saku's old friend who vehemently opposes Saku's marriage to Hana. He isn't content to just grumble either; he fully intends on taking drastic action, and he's not above teaming up with Hana's parents to get her our of the picture!

Hana held up her end of the deal and is ready to follow through with the plan: get married, repair the barrier, get divorce, and cash in on a big payday! However, Saku has caught feelings for Hana, and he deviously changed the terms of their contract. He's not letting her divorce him that easily, as he's on a mission to persuade her to reciprocate his feelings. While Hana is trying to dodge his steamy advances, troubles rears its ugly head. Twins from the Nijouin clan turn up and make it incredibly hard for Hana to lay low at school. Things with her own twin, Hazuki, are as tense as ever. And to top it all off, terrorists are weaking absolute havoc, and Hana may have to reveal her power in order to stop them!

For thousands of years, Japan has been protected by five clans wielding barrier-weaving magic. Born to a branch family of once such clan, eighteen-year-old Hana has always been stuck in the shadow of her more capable, beautiful, and popular twin sister. When a strong power awakens within Hana, she chooses to hide it so she can continue living a quiet life out of the spotlight. But that ideal lifestyle begins to slip out of reach when Saku Ichinomiya takes over as the new head of the Ichinomiya clan and sets out to find a bride strong enough to stand by his side. Eager to keep her abilities secret, Hana steers clear of Saku... but will she be tempted to sign a marriage contract if it guarantees the peaceful, quiet future of her dreams?

The new dungeon, Chalk Tower, is riddled with unpredictable situations! Boss-class foes wandering the halls might not sloe down Alina, but the annihilation of Rufus's party at the hands of an unknown enemy stops her and her temporary comrades in their tracks...! Silver Sword reluctantly opts for a withdrawal - that means escape from adventuring duty for Alina and a return at last to her beloved job as receptionist! But for some reason, a sense of unease lingers. Meanwhile, Rufus joins Silver Sword as the vanguard, and the party attempts to clear Chalk Tower once more. But do they have any chance against a humanoid monster with a Dia Skill?!

The boss found out about Alina's side hustle?!

Seeing Glen Garia, the highest authority of the Adventurers Guild, standing in front of her reception desk is terrifying enough for poor Alina, and what he has to say is no relief: His skill, Sigurth Chronosm, let him look into the past and glimpse beneath the hood of the "Executioner", Alina's alter ego!

Glen invites - or rather, orders - her to guild headquarters and offers her a way out. If she wants to keep her comfy job and avoid getting press-ganged into the Silver Sword party, all she has to go is defeat the Guildmaster himself!

Alina Clover thought being a receptionist for the Adventurers Guild would be her ticket to the good life... but her dream gig turns into an overtime nightmare whenever adventurers get stuck clearing a dungeon. To save herself from paperwork, Aline turns to the simplest solution at hand - beating down the monster herself!

A mysterious adventurer showing up out of nowhere, soloing the boss, then disappearing without taking credit is bound to create rumors, and Alina's treasured job forbids side hustles. So there might be trouble when the leader of the Silver Sword party discovers her secret...!

Sunny Skies, Sandy Beaches, And The Shadow Of Death

Having overcome the Wall of Thirty, Yuki restores her lost fingers and make a full recovery. Not long after, she reaches her next milestone: clearing her fortieth game. It seems like smooth sailing from there, but everything changes during Cloudy Beach - Yuki's forty-fourth game, packed with seasoned players who have also overcome the Wall of Thirty. On the isolated island venue, Yuki stumbles upon a dismembered body that is eerily reminiscent of the work of that sickening psychopath from Candle Woods. She and the other players look high and low for the killer, but night after night, the corpses continue to pile up. Just who is the culprit, and how are they taking out veteran players so easily? More importantly, why does their grisly method of execution resemble the way Yuki's mentor died? To live to see another game, Yuki must answer these questions before it's too late...

The Pitfalls Of Experience

Three months after the events of Candle Woods, Yuki plunges back into the world of death games. This time, she's participating in Scrap Building, a race to escape an abandoned structure filled with deadly traps. But ti make it out alive, she must contend with Mishiro, a haughty, pretentious player intent on getting in her way. Then time goes by, and Yuki finds herself in a game called Golden Bath, staring down the Wall of Thirty - a curse in the industry where misfortune befalls players around their thirtieth game. Whether the effects of the curse are real or her awareness of the phenomenon is tripping her up, one thing is for certain - Yuki is in bad shape as she contends with her toughest game yet.

Building A Life Out Of Death

Yuki wakes up to find herself in an unfamiliar manor, wearing a maid uniform and lying on a luxurious bed. Soon, she discovers five more girls, all dressed the same as her. This is the Ghost House, and the only way they can survive is to make it through the traps that lie in wait - deadly games full of blowguns, buzz saws, locked rooms, and weapons. It's a hopeless, terrifying situation for everyone there... well, everyone except Yuki. After all, this is her career at seventeen. Do you think that's odd? She would agree. But that's how some people are - they earn their living playing death games.

What you forget, I'll always remember.

Subaru Natsuki had just been trying to get to the convenience store, but he wound up summoned to another world. Worse, he has only one special ability, and he has to die to use it! At least now he's got a goal - save the girl with the silver hair and bring a smile to her face. But how many times is he going to have to die a terrible death in order to make that goal a reality?

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions... and a member! They're eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they're sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: "Let's eat the monster!" Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons... none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!

It's time for the Ousei Academy camping trip! Yuuya and his classmates head into the wilderness, where they'll need to build shelters, find food, and otherwise fend for themselves. Yuuya quickly steals the show (and several of his classmates' hearts) after saving the day, thanks to his maxed-out survival skills! And back in the other world, the day Yuuya promised to meet Princess Lexia has arrived. But an ambush cuts their reunion short when Luna moves to complete her mission and assassinate the princess! As Yuuya recalls their time training together in the forest - and the bond they forged - will he be able to do what's necessary to stop her...?

After sending Challe away, Anne is left with only Mithril to assist her in her quest to make a candy sculpture to satisfy the Duke of Philax. But no matter what she does, her work is never good enough for her client, whose patience is wearing thin. With the pressure on and no time to waste, can she complete her sculpture and reunite with Challe? Find out in the heart-pounding conclusion to the series!

With a renewed determination to become a Silver Sugar Master, Anne aims to participate in next year's Royal Candy Fair. But first, she must find a way to replenish her dwindling travel funds. After all, even the finest (aspiring) Silver Sugar Master has to make a living! When she hears of a money-making opportunity for candy crafters, Anne heads for the Duke of Philax's castle, where an old rival awaits...

Upon arriving at the Oriana Kingdom, Cid is blindsided by the news that Princess Rose is set to wed Duke Perv! This unexpected plot twist throws a major wrench in Cid's future plans - after all, the brighter the light, the darker the shadow, and Cid had been counting on Rose to illuminate the world for him. It seems like it's be a good idea to crash the party and get the deets about what's going on, but are there even bigger schemes at work behind this unholy matrimony?

After years of the Mitsugoshi group quietly using Cid's Shadow Wisdom to reshape the world from behind the scenes, the time has finally come to pay the piper. The quagmire of a credit collapse threatens Shadow Garden and the Cult of Diablos alike in an economic disaster orchestrated by one man - Super Elite Agent John Smith! (Don't tell anymore, but it's Cid in disguise.) Weaving a web of betrayal from threads of chaos laid throughout the market, Cid finally succeeds in entangling his enemy, but in the wake of his treachery, will things ever be the same between him and the girls...?

A troubled wind is blowing - Mitsugoshi's new innovations have put them in the sights of entrenched business interests,  and the filthy quagmire of shady underworld schemes is escalating to all out economic warfare! Naturally, there's no way Cid would ignore something that cool-sounding! If it looks like the girls are getting in over their heads, he'll just have to step in and betray them to save the day - not as mild-mannered Cid or the grim and mysterious Shadow, but as Super Elite Agent John Smith, he who destroys all and rebuilds it anew...!

"Hikaru's" unexpectedly violent encounter with the mysterious hamster-toting Tanaka only worsens his already weakened condition. Without knowing Tanaka's intentions, the boys must act quicky to uncover the mountain's secrets. Investigating the Indou family's "sin" will be difficult now that Hikaru's dad has passed, but they may be able to get some answers out of his closest friend - if Yoshiki's father is willing to talk...
