Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.7

The next day, the other Vessels couldn't help frowning at the sight of just Erika preparing breakfast alone. To be honest, it was supposed to be the Hoshiyama siblings' turn to prepare breakfast that day. But something must have happened for the older Vessels not to see Itsuki there.

"Eri-chan, is Itsu-chan still resting?" Eichirou started as he approached the pianist.

Erika shook her head as she placed the first of the cooked omelets on the plate. "He went out earlier since he said he still has to do something else. I didn't stop him since he'd rested enough and Hideoki-san already gave him his permission."

"What? What does he have to do this time?" Misae asked this time in exasperation.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.6

Of course, that question surprised Itsuki. But he waited for his sister to continue talking, as he felt like there was something more that she wanted to say to him.

"I'm not sure if you remember. But before you passed out after dealing with Otoguri, you said to Helen-chan while holding her wrist that... she finally came to life." Erika took a deep breath before facing him. "What exactly do you mean by that?"

He gawked at his sister's words. He never expected any of them. Did he really say those words to Helen? With the others around them after he collapsed?

Itsuki looked down, unable to decide whether or not he could tell the truth to his sister. But at the same time, it was exactly for that reason that he had to mention it to Erika. They were siblings, and they stuck together since the tragedy that took their parents' lives ten years ago. He shouldn't be excluding her about anything.

journal entry #1902

It's really, really cold out here! I don't even want to leave my bed because of that.

Done some novella and short story reading. And yes, some of them were meant for adults.

Mama wasn't feeling good the whole day. Even so, she was still able to cut my youngest sister's hair. Now she's short-haired, like me.

The cold weather seemed to make me unable to proceed to do a lot today.

Kept debating if I should continue updating both T7M and LBTE. I want to write them, and yet I can't seem to proceed. That's making me crazy, you know. Then again, I should I just have to proceed. Nothing else. I just have to force myself or else I'd be stuck here somehow.

【silent vlog】in saying the words


I guess I won't be able to do daily posting as much as I want to. But I still want to do this on a weekly basis. Maybe 2-3 videos in a week. That's doable, right? The words I placed in the video was the question that came up to me while doing this particular walk heading to town. I said to myself that I want to include that in my silent vlog at some point, so I did my best to remember it. To be honest, I still don't know how to properly answer that. Maybe it's a lifetime learning process that I should try emulating or knowing over and over.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.5

Shuichi took a deep breath and stood up from where he was sitting. This wasn't the first time that Shuichi had seen Helen like this. In fact, there were a lot of times that the novelist would stare at the wall while tapping her fingers on her laptop. Normally, he would associate it with the fact that she needed to meet deadlines for her novels as Hanasaki Kikue.

But that wasn't the case all the time.

In this case, however, he knew fully well that the reason was something else. The one that even the other Vessels had wanted to ask to Itsuki since they heard his last words before fainting.

He crouched down on one knee before flicking the girl's forehead. With that, of course, she yelped and raised her head to face the one who did it. Helen's eyes widened upon seeing Shuichi face to face in front of her. On her level.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.4

The pain searing in Itsuki's body was steadily becoming too much for him to endure. But he wasn't an idiot to let Otoguri have its way of defeating him. Or worse, killing him. He couldn't afford to die at the moment. Not when he was only starting to fight as a Seitenger.

Then again, he couldn't believe that such an illusion would be shown to him and completely distract him. He tried to push himself back up but the injuries he sustained were deep. He had to get out of there or it would be over for him.

"Damn it... Now I can't seem to stay awake because of this pain..." Itsuki mumbled as his eyes drooped.

"Don't close your eyes!"

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.3

Series of explosions soon resonated in the area, and Itsuki rashly faced its presumed direction. His eyes widened when he realized where it was.

"Cell towers... There were several phone towers and cell towers around that area."

Around that time, his Celestial Shifter started beeping. And he then came to a conclusion as to what had caused the explosions.

"Could it be that the Tareans are attacking again?"

journal entry #1897

I read — the whole day. And I finished 2 books because of that. Thank goodness! Of course, I was reading light novels. So I guess that's one reason why I was able to read faster. Of course, another factor is that the books piqued my interest — somehow. Or I just want to get it over with.

It's still cold and it was also raining. And that was surprising. I mean, we are having LPA in the area or a typhoon? But I haven't seen anything related to storm, so I guess that's scrapped. It's just that the rain was something I consider surprising.

I managed to continue writing Chapter 13 of OMOTD. Still not done, by the way. I mean, I haven't even written 50 words. I just wrote. But I couldn't force to write more. Sorry.

Went out to head to the market again. But I didn't get to buy the personal ones as my loads were a little heavy. I ended up forgetting to do something for myself again. I'd really like it if I would always have the time and the money to actually do any self-care/self-indulgence for once. And I mean, the kind that wouldn't let me think about chores or anyone else for a week or two. Just me. Then again, was that something hard to even achieve at this point? Or maybe I could meet someone that would make me feel really cared for and indulge me. Not just by material things, but also of their time and affection that's exclusively meant for me. 😊❤️

【silent vlog】first 2025 journal entry


I was only able to record one video yesterday since most of what I did was to sleep to make up for the lack of it past midnight after the commotion of the New Year died down. Wait, should I really call it a commotion instead of a celebration? Anyway, this was just a timelapsed version of me writing my first entry for 2025 in my journal last night. I mean, I still want to post here as consistently as I can. Not to mention, this is what my night usually looks like.

【silent vlog】should i or should i not?


Happy New Year! I hope all of you watching (and even those that aren't watching) were able to welcome the brand new year with hope, confidence, and determination.

This is a crazy attempt on this silent vlog, that's for sure. But you know, this could possibly help me with my language learning goals. So yes, I'm open to corrections and any pointers on the (obviously) Google-translated transcripts below the usual English ones I'd put. I want to be able to learn more about the language this way. I want to take it slow, and without putting too much pressure on myself while learning Japanese.
