The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Huh? Kiana? Is that you? No, no... How could Kiana be so young? Could it be that you're her sister!?"

Paimon appeared from mid-air and practically shouted those words out.

Her shout came at just the right time, as Kiana crawled to the bedside to wake Ying.

Because of the unfortunate coincidence, Kiana had no chance to retreat and could only watch helplessly as Ying slowly rubbed her sleepy eyes and then looked at her.

Kiana?

At first glance, she was stunned into silence, staring at the white-haired little girl in front of her as if she had discovered a new continent...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha): Chapter 26 You're so cute, be my little sister from now on, I'll take care of you!

Ying's mansion.

In the living room, where tables, bowls, stools, and chopsticks were set out, Ying picked up a bowl and fed the little girl who was sitting obediently on the stool porridge.

However, the white-haired little girl did not appreciate the rice porridge offered to her mouth.

"I'm not hungry... Ying, what are you doing?"

"Don't talk, just eat it!"

"Ugh! Ugh..."

"Is it tasty?"

Ying put down her chopsticks and gave Kiana a sweet smile.

For some reason, looking at Ying's sweet smile, Kiana suddenly felt an invisible sense of pressure.

It seems that if I answer "it doesn't taste good" next, something terrible will happen...

"Uh, it's delicious, of course it's delicious."

Although she felt that there was too much sugar in the rice porridge, Kiana thought that overall the taste was still good, regardless of the sugar content, so she gave this honest answer.

Ying seemed very happy after hearing her answer.

She chuckled softly, covering her mouth, and then picked up a photograph from the table and placed it in front of Kiana.

Is this you?

"it's me."

The photo shows Kiana drinking water. At that time, she had not yet been restricted by the system, and her tall and voluptuous figure was enviable.

I was a little curious as to why a photo of myself drinking water ended up in Ying's hands.

Kiana felt that this was not important; what was important was to tell Ying her true identity as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However...

"This isn't you." Ying deliberately put on a stern face, intentionally or unintentionally fiddling with Kiana's neatly braided pigtails, as if she were playing with a beautiful doll.

You're saying she's not me?

"It's not you."

"I said she is me!" Kiana crossed her arms and pouted as she argued.

"Impossible, tell me honestly. Where is Kiana right now?"

Seeing that her travel companion, who had inexplicably become so adorable, was angry, Ying's smile became even more flamboyant.

She held down the little girl who was trying to get up from her seat, then jokingly said in a serious tone:

"Who are you to Kiana? Sister? Niece? Surely not her daughter?"

"I am her! Ying, why won't you believe me!"

It seems that the film went too far, to the point that even Paimon couldn't stand it anymore.

She turned around, appeared in mid-air, and then spread her hands, complaining:

"Ying, please stop. Kiana has finally come back. Didn't you keep saying you wanted to see her?"

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Feeling that was enough, Ying clutched her belly and laughed heartily, even laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Seeing her like this, Kiana pretty much realized that she had been tricked. She immediately crossed her arms and pouted, looking rather childish and unwilling to play with her anymore.

"Sorry, sorry, I just didn't expect... Kiana, you've become so cute."

While apologizing, Ying took a napkin and rubbed Kiana's little face.

She has to admit that after her size decreased, she found her companion to be incredibly cute.

Especially her delicate, chubby little face, which is so tender it's almost dripping with moisture when you reach out and pinch it.

"Wow, this skin... Kiana is amazing!"

"Waaah, stop pinching me!"

Kiana reached out her little hand and grabbed Ying's arm, eagerly hoping that her old friend whom she hadn't seen in a long time would behave herself.

"Huh? It's okay to squeeze it, but why does it smell strange?"

Do I have some strange smell?

Upon hearing Ying's words, Kiana sniffed herself and didn't smell anything strange.

However, Ying insisted that there was some strange smell and shamelessly began to squeeze her little face against her.

"I think so! Come on, let me smell it."

"Hey! Don't smell there... Ugh!"

After being teased repeatedly, Kiana finally lost her temper and delivered a chop to Ying's hand.

"Oh! Uh, sorry, sorry. I was probably too excited because we haven't seen each other in so long."

After finally accepting the fact that her friend had shrunk, Ying sat down on the other side of the table and began to ask Kiana what she had been doing during the time she was missing.

Not wanting her to worry too much, Kiana simply replied that she had gone to a very new place and, due to some uncontrollable reasons, ended up looking the way she does now.

Now, she is trying to free herself from this uncomfortable position.

"Huh? Maybe we shouldn't try so hard anymore. I think things are fine as they are. Come back, Kiana, I'll take care of you! From now on, you'll be my little sister!"

Ying patted her chest and assured him, not joking at all.

It seems he genuinely intends to adopt Kiana as his younger sister.

This scene shocked the person involved, who hurriedly waved their hand.

"No, no, no! You still have relatives to find. Isn't it too hasty to add another relative out of nowhere? Let's just forget about it, Ying..."

"So it still doesn't work? Sigh, you... But if it were you, you would definitely give the same answer."

Despite being rejected, Ying didn't feel ashamed; instead, she smiled at Kiana with great satisfaction.

He seemed to be delighted that the woman he knew, even after experiencing the setback of her shrinking body, still retained that fiery passion.

"Kiana..."

Ying couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Kiana's head, wanting to say something encouraging to cheer her up.

However, before she could even speak, she heard the sound of tables and chairs colliding suddenly coming from a room in the distance.

"Oops! I messed it up..."

The soft call attracted the attention of the three people present.

Following the direction from which the sound came, they all simultaneously focused their attention on a room in the mansion.

"Strange...who's there?"

Realizing that there might be uninvited guests at the mansion, Kiana immediately became alert.

Without a second thought, she drew the Blazing King Sword and struggled forward, dragging the massive sword, which was larger than herself, with all her might.

"Ying! Take care of yourself, I'm going to see what's going on there—!"

"Alright, alright, you're already in this state, and you still want to shoulder everything by yourself?"

Ying simply smiled helplessly at Kiana's volunteering, showing no surprise at the unexpected guest in the room.

It seemed she already knew who was in which room...

Such an expression naturally aroused Kiana's curiosity.

"Ying? What's going on in the room...?"

"Oh, you haven't met Gan Yu yet. She's here to rest at my house today. Come on, let's go see what she messed up."

After saying that, Ying smiled at Paimon beside her, and then took Kiana's hand.

I'm going to go see what this great immortal, who occasionally hides here to handle official business, is busy with in that room specially prepared for Gan Yu.

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 27 The Clumsy Little Rain

At this moment, in her room, Gan Yu looked at the chair that had been overturned by sitting on it with a sense of helplessness.

"Oh no... I dozed off and didn't notice, and the chair broke! What will Ying think if she finds out..."

She was completely baffled as to why the chair had suddenly collapsed.

After simply assembling the chairs, Gan Yu sat on the bed, looking up at the ceiling with a sense of unease.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, she gently pinched her slender waist.

Oh, so it's because I've gained weight...

Eh!!!

"I've gained weight... How could that be! Could it be because of these days... Sigh... I need to lose weight again."

Gan Yu felt utterly helpless about her weight gain.

Her biggest fear is turning back into the chubby girl she was as a child. However, because there are so many delicious foods, she often can't help but eat a little more.

Then, out of fear of gaining weight back, I had to work overtime on an empty stomach.
