The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Seeing this, Kiana once again wore a helpless smile:

"This doesn't seem like something I can get involved in. Um... could you let me go?"

"can."

"real?!"

"But you have to promise not to tell that bread roll about me. Can you do that?"

"...Hoo~~~Hoo." Kiana turned her face away and whistled, showing no intention of agreeing.

Seeing this, Rin realized that if she wanted this little guy to behave, she had to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.

So let's start by getting emotional.

Kiana?

"Ok?"

"Do you like me?" Rin asked crisply.

"Huh? Huh!!!"

Kiana was already feeling somewhat overwhelmed by this problem from the very beginning.

As Rin pressed closer, her previously steady heartbeat suddenly quickened considerably...

"What are you thinking about? I'm asking, do you think I'm a good person?"

"Yes."

"How about we just pretend nothing happened?"

"Uh." Kiana still didn't agree.

"Ugh! So annoying! Why won't you listen to me!"

Rin let go in a bit of a panic, clutching her twin tails as if she was about to break down.

She never expected that her flawless escape plan would be completely ruined by the appearance of a little brat.

It's been so long since that bread roll fell asleep; if we don't leave soon...

When she wakes up, won't my debts increase again?

The worst part is that this guy, in order to pay off his debts, actually threatened to take away his house and everything else!

The most terrifying thing is that she also guaranteed that he would never have the chance to pay off his debts and would forever remain her servant...

The thought that I might spend the rest of my life with that blond bread roll is unbearable.

Rin felt a chill run through her body, as if she were about to be doomed at any moment...

"Um, Rin-nee, I think sometimes proper communication is necessary. Are you planning to run away like this and live the rest of your life as a fugitive?"

"What should I do? That blond bread roll guy is so shameless, he even threatened to hire a bunch of lawyers to make me lose everything, what should I do..."

A sudden knock on the door instantly drew the attention of the two people in bed.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, one could see Miyu, dressed in a proper maid outfit, standing calmly in front of the door.

"Sister Lin."

She slowly withdrew her hand and placed it neatly in front of her, appearing poised and elegant, as if she were not a maid at all.

Instead, she seemed like a young lady from a prestigious family.

"Luvia invites you to the afternoon tea room to discuss the debt with her in detail."

"I'm not going!"

Having barely escaped with her life, how could Rin possibly be willing to go back?

She sat upright on the edge of the bed, crossed her arms, and raised her head high, trying her best to adopt an arrogant posture.

The purpose was to maintain his usual arrogance...

However, her actions only elicited an awkward smile from Kiana and Miyu, who looked at her as if she were a child.

"Let's go talk, Rin. If we don't go, are you really prepared to become a fugitive?"

Out of concern for her former colleague, Kiana slowly offered a suggestion.

Seeing her say that, Rin's expression gradually softened, but she hadn't spoken yet.

Just then, Miyu appeared in front of him and said:

"Sister Rin, actually Sister Luvia is a good person. She won't make things too difficult for you, really."

"Really? You really won't make me spend the rest of my life paying off this debt?"

Absolutely!

"Uh..."

Seeing that Miyu agreed so readily, Rin's originally resolute heart gradually wavered.

She slowly turned her head to look at Kiana beside her, as if seeking her opinion.

Under her gaze, Kiana slowly got out of bed and then extended her hand to her:

"Let's go, Rin-nee. I believe you can reach an agreement."

"Tch, okay."

Finally, under the perfectly coordinated attack of the two girls, Rin slowly reached out her hand.

Putting aside their escape plans for the time being, they began to head towards the afternoon tea room, drawn by Kiana and propelled by Miyu.

Preparing to settle things once and for all with that mortal enemy...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 45: An Elegant Way to Collect Debts

The tea room has a pleasant environment, elegant decorations, and exudes an aristocratic atmosphere.

Luvia slowly picked up her teacup and calmly looked at the tightly closed door.

Dressed in a magnificent blue gown, she shone exceptionally brightly in the sunlight. Her golden curls swayed gently as she sipped her tea, and the ribbon around her neck accentuated her ample bosom. Her slightly exposed, snow-white skin radiated a pearly luster.

All of this made her appear so elegant and noble...

Of course, without that conspicuous bump on her head, perhaps this elegance and nobility would be more easily noticed.

However, because her appearance was so comical, what should have been an elegant and noble demeanor instead gave off a silly and absurd feeling...

"Ouch! You brat from the Tohsaka family... Ouch! That hurts!"

The large lump on the back of her head was so painful that Luvia could no longer grit her teeth and maintain her noble manners.

She silently put down her teacup, then gently rubbed the large bump on her head, revealing a look of gritted teeth.

"How dare you make me look so pathetic! Humph! Just you wait, I'll make you—!"

Before Luvia could finish speaking, there was a loud 'bang!'

The door to the afternoon tea room was flung open.

Rin, dressed in a maid outfit, walked in. She looked poised and elegant, but her demeanor was somewhat rugged.

"Here I am, bread roll!"

"Uh...cough cough! Welcome to my room. How are you? Thirsty? This is some black tea that I specially asked Miyu to prepare for you."

Instead of flying into a rage as the other party expected, Luvia smiled in a friendly manner when faced with her nemesis who had knocked her unconscious.

She gestured for Rin to sit opposite her, then glanced sideways at Kiana and Miyu behind Rin.

"Come on in, there are lots of desserts here!"

"Uh, no need, Luvia-nee. I..." Faced with the invitation from her foster mother, Miyu didn't immediately accept, but instead lowered her head shyly.

"Hey? There's food? Yay!"

Compared to Miyu's reserved demeanor, Kiana's reaction was much more lively.

Without saying a word, she pounced on the small table, then reached out and began to devour the desserts on the table with great gusto.

His ravenous eating brought a smile of satisfaction to Luvia's face.

But this only made Rin, who was already confused, even more confused.

"Bread rolls... I'm talking to you?"

Seeing that her nemesis's reaction was so different from what she had expected, Rin slowly approached her, looking at the beautiful girl in a dress having afternoon tea with disbelief.

"Are you planning something bad?"

"It's really heartbreaking, Rin." As soon as she finished speaking, Luvia suddenly reached out and gently touched Rin's cherry lips.

This seemingly insignificant little gesture was far too intimate, resembling a romantic interaction between lovers.

This caused Rin, who had been expressionless and with a stern face, to immediately panic and retreat.

"Hey you! You! You!"

Rin pointed at the woman in front of her in disbelief, her face flushed with embarrassment and confusion.

She couldn't understand why her arch-enemy would do something so incomprehensible to her.

she...

Did you drink too much tea and mess up your brain?

"So cute, Rin."

Seeing that her seduction had been so successful, Luvia tossed her hair and then let out her signature mesmerizing laugh.

"Oh ho ho ho! You actually blushed over something so simple? You're even less capable than Kiana. You're still so naive, Rin."

"What? I don't know what you're saying!"

"Um... As the person involved, I can say that it is true. Burp... I think I ate too much."

Upon hearing Kiana interrupt, Rin and Luvia both shifted their gazes from each other to the white-haired girl and... the messy dessert table in front of her.

It's hard to imagine that just a moment ago there was a table full of desserts...
