It wasn’t quite what he’d imagined. What was that thing? Dan’s expression stiffened slightly. But he still reacted quickly, and even more out of expectations— This little creature was fast, not like those ordinary monsters. And its strength wasn’t small, either. Right as Chu Zao shifted back midair, spinning and kicking, he instantly conjured a… Continue reading Cub 135: A Fluffy Little Head Squeezed In

The sky here was a hazy color. It seemed to be bright, yet there was hardly any light, and there didn't appear to be much change between day and night—basically, it always looked like this, similar to an overcast, rainy day. Around were small patches of shrubs with some withered leaves, as if water was… Continue reading Cub 134: The Man with the Same Name as Zao Zao’s Great-Grandfather

Feeney loosed the bowstring in his hand. The arrow raced forth, psionic power exploding behind Feeney in a shockwave, giving the opponents no chance to react as it slammed directly into several of the Hymn Organization’s small starships. Instantly, a few lead ships were blown up. The squad, hesitating only a moment, scattered at once.… Continue reading Cub 133: Poor Little Fluffy Ball Zao

The Holy Cas Empire’s starships hovered above their heads. There weren’t actually that many. But with precedent, a wave of tension swept through the conference hall. Emperor Yakai entered briskly from outside: “Attempt to contact the Holy Cas starship comms.” “Your Majesty.” Inside, the other national and regional leaders rose as Yakai entered, calming somewhat.… Continue reading Cub 132: Feeney: Why Is It You Guys Again

Chao Huangmu looked up—and froze, finding Chu Zao’s face reflected in his clear black eyes. Though a young man now, perhaps due to his immortal blood and the fact that his nature had never really changed—not to mention his face—Chao Huangmu still radiated that handsome, sunny, eternally youthful charm. Chu Zao had just cupped his… Continue reading Cub 131: No Need for Such High Morals—Baby

The long blade fell. In the stillness of space, shards scattered in all directions. For the members of the Holy Sanctuary—it was yet another new understanding. Frey watched the fragments, quietly hovering in the small vortex formed from the piled debris he’d created. The floating detritus of this starfield was so thick that it easily… Continue reading Cub 130: I Really Didn’t Care That Much About That Kiss, Really

Everything happened in a flash. Chu Zao went in with zero delay, biting down with absolute resolve. No one had time to react—only Zao Zao’s great-grandpa Ebinino’s stunned, muffled roars echoed through the area. Was anyone going to do something or not? Today he bit someone’s crown—what would he do tomorrow, the possibilities were unthinkable!!… Continue reading Cub 129: Holy Cas Is to Be Feared, Not to Be Liked

Once again fuzzed by a fever from his rapidly increasing power, Chu Zao walked forward. His fluffy wings, after a look, had been folded behind him, so he just walked along, wings puffed up, cheerful and happy. “Zao…Zao Zao?” Halfway there. Chao Huangmu, looking as if he was about to head out on mission, hurried… Continue reading Cub 128: Your Cub, He, He’s—

Though pollution was a force that could not be clearly seen, when it grew stronger, one could still notice some indications—a scene slightly resembling flames twisted and deformed by a faint power. And at this moment, when that pollution controlled by that "god" swept forward rapidly, it was hit by the twin flame-wreathed arrow shot… Continue reading Cub 127: The Holy Cas First Army Group, Return to Ranks

The starships were descending rapidly, and before even touching down, countless Holy Cas soldiers leapt out in orderly ranks. They moved quickly to establish a containment zone. Some mecha teams, having received the news late and been slow to retreat, found themselves completely surrounded by the Holy Cas advance unit. Who were these people— They… Continue reading Cub 126: Make Holy Cas Unshakable; Ensure the Empire’s Dignity Forever.
