Summary
Qifrey knows by now not to expect anything less than an ambush when he’s summoned to an audience with Beldaruit, but there’s a tiny, ridiculous part of him that holds out hope each time. For what, he’s not entirely sure. That his old master simply wants to see him, with no ulterior motive? Would that be too much to ask?
At least today, Beldaruit wastes no time with niceties. “You need a break,” he announces the moment Qifrey crosses the threshold of the Argentgard.
“Do I?” he replies, then adds, “Hello to you as well.”
“Yes, yes, hello my dear boy.” Beldaruit waves a hand as if he can flutter clean through the niceties. “When was the last time you had a proper vacation?”

Summary
Nicholas D. Wolfwood is hardly what one would call a connoisseur of literature. As far as he’s concerned, it sorts itself nicely into three buckets: smart books, scripture, and drivel. He avoids the first on principle, finds himself unwillingly dragged through the second more often than not, and dabbles in the third if the fancy strikes.
The book that’s caught his eye presents a conundrum he wasn’t prepared to confront at 10 AM on a bright, already-roasting Tuesday morning. He’s been left unsupervised in a general store while Vash takes care of some do-gooder something or other, and his boredom had him gravitating to the rack of double-dime novels tucked in the back corner. The drivel selection is top-tier. Most of the books he can open at random and land on something both intriguingly salacious and horrendously written, and Wolfwood has spent a solid fifteen minutes gleefully paging through paperbacks with covers featuring washboard abs and heaving bosoms before he spots the book that’s going to ruin his life.

Summary
The paper within started off as a typed form letter, addressed simply, “Dear Citizen,” which thanked him for being willing to take on the burden of such intense personal upheaval and such thorough secrecy. Wolfwood skimmed the puffed up nonsense once he clocked that the mysterious, important work they’d be doing would stay both frustratingly mysterious and vaguely important. Further down, he found neat handwriting, the only part of the page that had been personalized.

Summary
Olruggio knew, long before it all came crashing down, that he’d made a terrible decision. That the consequences would catch up to him, and there’d be no avoiding a series of potentially world-ending conversations.
He just hadn’t expected it to happen quite so spectacularly.
The initial idea, prompted by a suggestion from an older noblewoman who’d commissioned him for something completely different, wasn’t bad at all. He’d been working on a set of singing stones, and the lady had made an offhanded comment about the potential of magic that could make an object resonate. She’d meant it as a joke, but where she saw humor, Olruggio saw potential—and told her as much.
And just like that, he’d had a commission. And a problem.

Summary
“They’re retrofitting it for a new set of sorcerers?” Nanami asks, but that can’t be it—otherwise word would have made it to LOCCENT and he wouldn’t have heard it out of legal first.
Higuruma shakes his head. The look in his eyes could plunge a Jaeger to the bottom of the Pacific. “The higher-ups would aren’t wasting Gojo Satoru—not when he’s still got time on his contract. The recovery year they gave him was generous. They’re putting him back in that cockpit, and they’re in the process of figuring out who they can shove in there with him.”
