The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

As soon as they met, they grabbed each other's hands, expressing how much they missed each other.

After a brief exchange, Kiana learned that at this moment, she and Luvia were not the only two people in the mansion.

Due to certain unforeseen circumstances, Rin is currently working as a maid in the mansion.

"Rin is a maid... I think it's a blessing that she doesn't break anything."

"Uh, not long ago Rin broke a vase in the hallway. She spent quite a while cleaning it up..."

"Oh? Then this really is... a sad story."

Generally speaking, breaking a vase is definitely not a good thing.

They might even end up with heavy debts as a result.

Given Rin's current financial situation, she probably feels like crying right now...

"I wonder how she is now. I'll go see her after I finish seeing Luvia."

With this in mind, Kiana asked Miyu where Luvia was and learned that Luvia was currently in her usual afternoon tea room, enjoying Rin's service while savoring desserts and fragrant tea.

Thinking about it, she must be very happy right now, right?

After all, not only can they reconcile with their former colleagues after obtaining the card, but they can even turn their colleagues into servants.

"Poor Rin, I never expected things to turn out this way—"

As the doors to the afternoon tea room slowly opened, the elegantly decorated and well-arranged tea room came into view before Kiana.

However, in this elegant setting, what is most concerning is not the homeowner lying on the ground.

Instead, it was the twin-tailed maid who was holding a frying pan, dressed in a neat maid outfit, and panting heavily...

cold.

At this moment, her face was filled with a complex expression of guilt and joy, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Luvia on the ground.

He appeared both terrified and smug.

"Ha...ha! You got what you deserved, bread roll! You always laugh at me, hehehehe...hahaha! Ahahaha—!"

"Uh..."

Looking at the crazed Rin and Luvia lying unconscious on the ground with a big bump on her head, she realized that she might have come at the wrong time.

She didn't know, nor did she want to know, how complicated the reasons were.

All she knew was that she needed to get Miyu's help, otherwise Luvia would probably stay unconscious like this forever.

Thinking of this, Kiana spoke slowly to Rin, who had already discovered her:

"Hi, long time no see, Rin-nee. Well then..."

After saying hello, she tried to leave without saying another word.

However, how could Rin, who had already committed the heinous act, let her, a witness, leave?

"Hey you!"

Almost instantly, Kiana's shoulder was grabbed by a fair and delicate hand.

The owner of these hands stood guard behind them with an incredibly 'kind' smile on his face at this very moment.

Judging from this situation...

If I ignore it, the consequences could be dire...

Thinking of this, Kiana could only smile and then said, "I came at...wrong time?"

"That's right, stop talking nonsense and follow me obediently!"

Without saying a word, Rin grabbed Kiana and rushed down the corridor of the mansion.

During this time, Kiana repeatedly expressed her hope that Rin could calm down, but her words were simply ignored.

Finally, after passing through door after door of room and window after window.

Kiana was successfully pulled back to her room by Rin.

A loud 'bang!' was heard.

The door to the room was tightly closed.

Kiana was about to say something to calm Rin down when Rin pounced on her and threw her onto the bed.

"Why did you come back here?"

Feeling the aggressive pressure from the other party, Kiana hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not answer Rin's question.

At this moment, her pretty face had never been so close, and the ponytail tied on either side swayed with every move of the girl in the maid outfit.

If it weren't for her tendency to always have a serious expression, Rin would probably look much prettier in a maid outfit.

After a moment of contemplation, Kiana, whose mind was filled with these whimsical ideas, finally returned to the present moment.

"Um, didn't you take me back to my old room, Rin? It's only been a few days, why has my room changed so much?"

"Huh? What do you mean? This used to be your room?"

"correct."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Rin brought her face close to Kiana's small face, as if she wanted to see into the girl's heart.

"I'm not sure if what you're saying is true, but...did you see that just now?"

"What...did you see?"

Because Rin's face was so close, the intoxicating fragrance was practically filling her mouth, Kiana had no choice but to turn her face away and silently ask in return.

Seeing her turn her face away, Rin assumed it was a sign of guilt, so she pressed on directly:

"Don't play dumb, I'm asking you if you saw it!"

"Um, okay. I did see her. How is Luvia doing now?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I held back and didn't use any magic. With her strength, she should have woken up by now and be cursing and swearing, trying to get compensation from me."

Perhaps it was because she was thinking about something troubling that Rin had such a long face.

If it weren't for the fact that she was pressing down on her and refusing to get off, Kiana would have thought that she was the one being suppressed.

"Demand compensation? Hmm... I can pretty much guess why you're helping out here, Rin."

Seeing Kiana claim to know something on her own initiative, Rin immediately sat up angrily and complained sharply:

"Help? Are you kidding me? That bread roll is a vampire! I broke a plate and she meticulously recorded it, and she even boasted that the interest alone would make me listen to her for life. It's terrifying!"

As she said this, Rin didn't forget to wave the frying pan in her hand.

Putting everything else aside, at least they've got the momentum.

Kiana couldn't help but think to herself, "You're pretty scary for knocking out your creditor like that, aren't you?"

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fairy Tale): Chapter 44 After all, I'm not exactly a devil, am I?

Honestly, this can't be explained as just friends joking around.

Luvia's actions and Rin's countermeasures cannot be described as normal.

But for a magician, what is normal and what is abnormal?

Kiana wasn't clear on what the criteria for this judgment were, but she knew...

The feeling of Rin pressing down on me was so uncomfortable.

"Um... Rin, could you... let me go first?"

Kiana, with one hand held down, wore a helpless smile, somewhat at a loss for what to do with Rin's forceful approach.

She's really being overly sensitive. All she did was knock someone out, right?

They didn't kill him; the only problem is that Luvia will hold them accountable afterward.

Is it necessary to hold yourself back and prevent you from leaving?

Given this trend... does she intend to silence herself?

"cold..."

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Huh? Uh, I wanted to come and see you guys today."

"Oh really? Okay then, where are we going next?" Rin stared intently at the girl he was pinning down, with no intention of letting her go so easily.

Rin didn't intend to let her off the hook until she was sure she would keep it a secret.

"Could it be that they're planning to go somewhere nearby to tip someone off?"

"How could that be! Uh...why do you sound like you did *that* to Luvia..."

"What? The meaning is unclear. I'm planning to run away! Do you think I'd let you ruin my plans?"

Although Rin's tone was very serious, her expression was indeed very calm and without a trace of fear when she said this.

It seems that for her, this was not an incomprehensible decision, but just an ordinary thing.

"Oh...wait? Escape?"

Rin's reaction was so casual that Kiana didn't realize it at first, until she remembered the fact that she was burdened with a huge debt.

Then it dawned on me.

So Rin is planning to quit and run away?

Hmm, this doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?

"Rin, what exactly did you do to owe Luvia money?"

"It's nothing, I just shot down her family's helicopter while I was chasing after her for the card, and incidentally bought a few gems on a mortgage. I also broke a few of her vases in the last few days, and she actually dreams of making me work my whole life to pay off the debt? Humph!"

Clearly, Rin was furious at Luvia's actions.

Her desperate desire to escape from here speaks for itself.
