The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Sentimental Magical Girls (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha): Chapter 42 This is an end, but also a beginning.

Fuyuki City.

The peaceful rooftop was suddenly distorted by a spatial distortion, and the vortex-like depression that appeared out of nowhere was a truly astonishing sight.

If any bystanders were present at this moment, they would surely be deeply shocked by this extraordinary phenomenon...

Before long, several girls appeared on the previously empty rooftop.

Rin and Luvia helped each other back to the real world, while Illya and Miyu each held one of Kiana's arms, carefully bringing their friend back to reality.

"It's all over now..."

"Yes, it's over."

Ilya and Miyu said something with a touch of emotion.

Seeing the two laughing so happily, Kiana remained silent.

Although she knew very well that things were far from over, she did not reveal Miyu's identity prematurely, but simply spoke slowly in agreement:

"Yes, that was a beautiful victory."

"This is our victory."

Ilya chuckled and rubbed her face against Kiana's dust-covered half-face, then looked at Miyu with a smile.

Unaware that the peaceful life she longed for was slipping away, she gave her friend an innocent smile.

Seeing this, Miyu returned the same kind smile.

The three girls smiled at each other, as if all their troubles had passed.

Next came the final reward ceremony and farewell.

"Thank you so much."

Rin looked at the large stack of cards in her hand, a smile of immense satisfaction spreading across her face. She felt that there was nothing left to be afraid of.

Once the card is returned and the task is completed, one can become the apprentice of that great magician.

Haha! Will we still have to worry about not having enough gems to use then?

Knowing full well how powerful and wealthy that great magician was, Rin desperately wanted to become his disciple.

This would save them from the predicament of not being able to afford the high cost of gemstones.

And now, the opportunity to the future is in our hands, all we need is—!

'Whoosh! '

Rin looked at her empty palm, clenched it in disbelief, and instantly realized what was happening.

The card was stolen—no, it was snatched away!!!

"Who, who is it?!"

She was furious and looked around, but for a moment she couldn't even notice that someone was missing.

It wasn't until she heard the noise from the propeller that she belatedly realized what was happening.

It turns out the person who stole the card...

They are precisely your most formidable competitors!

"Oh ho ho! How careless of you, you brat from the Tohsaka family!"

Luvia held onto the rope with one hand and stepped onto the helicopter ladder with the other. The smugness on her face could not be described as merely triumphant; it was downright arrogant and domineering.

At this very moment, the curly-haired beauty, her face beaming with ecstasy, was waving the stack of cards in her hand.

"I'll take these cards back to complete the mission. You can stay in your hometown and live out the rest of your life peacefully. Oh ho ho!"

"Hey! Wait, no! Wait!!!"

The hard-won victory was ultimately stolen without mercy by a colleague.

Rin was on the verge of a breakdown.

She yelled and screamed at Luvia without regard for her own safety, so angry that she wanted to rush up and bite her.

However, the harsh reality forced her to decisively go downstairs to chase after the fleeing, obnoxious woman...

Watching the two sides engage in this friendly interaction of stabbing each other in the back and kicking each other in the back.

Ilya and Miyu couldn't help but smile helplessly.

All I can say is that Luvia's move came as a complete surprise.

Rin even forgot to ask for the ruby ​​and sapphire back.

As a result, the two of them are now on their honeymoon, chasing each other around, and it seems they won't be coming back to ask for the staff anytime soon.

Whether they'll even remember this in the future is another question.

If that's the case...

"My peaceful life won't just vanish again, will it?" Ilya grimaced for a moment, then turned her gaze to Kiana, who was now slightly taller than her. "Um, Kiana..."

"Hey, is something the matter, Ilya?"

"Well..."

Looking at the white-haired girl in front of her, whom she could no longer regard as a younger sister, Ilya was devastated.

The main source of this feeling is that simply terrifying silhouette, which is just too... in short, very discouraging.

"What did you eat? How can you be like this...?"

"Huh?" Kiana was completely confused.

"No, no, it's nothing. Hehe! I was just curious..."

Ilya smiled, then leaned forward, compared her height to Kiana's, and continued with a sigh:

Why do I feel like you've gotten a little bigger? Is it just my imagination? Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to your figure before, but now... maybe I should call you "older sister"?

"Forehead."

Although it's discouraging to think this way, Kiana has to say it.

If we sort by age, you really should call me "sister".

"Ilya, let's not talk about this anymore. Sigh, those two are too casual."

Seeing that her two friends hadn't continued talking, Miyu thought they were having a fight, so she tried to smooth things over.

"Kiana, is there anywhere you'd like to go next? Are you going to stay with me, or...?"

"What's next..."

Kiana felt her body recovering somewhat and realized that she could move almost completely, so she signaled to the two of them to let go of her.

She stretched her muscles and, after the soreness subsided somewhat, slowly spoke:

"I will continue to stay in Fuyuki City, but... after bothering you for so long, sometimes I still wish I could live on my own for a while."

"Huh? But...do you have a place to stay?"

"Don't worry, there isn't. There is."

Kiana smiled brightly, then waved weakly at the two of them.

"Well then, goodbye. Let's talk again in a few days when we go to school."

"Oh..."

Although it's unclear where this drastically changed girl could go.

But since it was her wish, Ilya and Miyu didn't say much, and could only pray for her in their hearts.

I hope nothing serious happens to this friend.

It was during their prayers that Kiana opened the rooftop door and slowly departed...

...

For Kiana, there are actually other places to go in Fuyuki City besides Luvia's house.

And this place, neither on the streets of the city nor in a small inn in the countryside, is within herself.

To be precise, it's in the Dust Song Pot in the system inventory...

"Awoo~~~"

Amidst a swirling, ethereal mist that distorted space, Kiana slowly departed from the Dust Song Pot.

"I slept so well, although I'm still a little uncomfortable, but at this rate... I'll get better soon. It's better to move around more to recover quickly. Hmm... I've got nothing to do, let's see what Miyu and Luvia have been up to lately."

With this thought in mind, Kiana set off without hesitation, heading towards the streets of Fuyuki City, intending to visit Luvia's mansion.

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 43 What a Terrifying Woman!

Outside the Edfeldt Mansion in Fuyuki City.

Kiana looked up at the grand and imposing house, recalling the time she had spent living there with Miyu and Luvia.

While it can't be said to be particularly novel or interesting.

But such a peaceful and serene life can certainly be considered wonderful.

Now that she has left without saying goodbye, only Miyu and Luvia remain in this huge mansion.

Considering their roles as mistress and servant, and the fact that Miyu has something on her mind, it probably won't be very lively.

"I wonder if Sister Luvia has missed me these past few days, hehe."

Filled with curiosity about this question, Kiana slowly rang the doorbell at the mansion's main gate.

A short while later, Miyu ran out of the house.

Kiana!

"Beautiful travel!"

It feels like three autumns have passed since we last met.
