The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Despite possessing extremely high combat prowess, their survival skills are exceptionally poor; one could say they cannot survive without their extraordinary abilities.

She possesses a special Noble Phantasm and is able to use it, making her a rare ordinary person capable of fighting alongside Heroic Spirits.

Despite her exceptional abilities, she herself is not very self-aware and is simply a very straightforward straight woman.

If we could become partners with them, that would be something to be very happy about.

but...

From the perspective of universal reason.

She is a formidable rival to herself and Ilya and others.

"Sapphire, the suspicious person you mentioned, does he have short hair?"

"Yes."

"Are you skilled?" Kiana pressed.

"Um... Miss Kiana, how did you know?"

"Is she carrying something really heavy on her back? But she doesn't seem to feel any burden when she walks?"

"That's right, just as you guessed. But... why are you so sure?"

Okay, the descriptions basically all match up.

It's definitely her, there's no doubt about it.

"This is troublesome... This guy is not easy to deal with. He's fine as a partner, but as an opponent..."

After confirming the emergence of Bazett as a strong competitor, Kiana silently turned her head and looked towards the afternoon tea room where Rin and Luvia were.

They were getting to know each other with smiles on their faces, perhaps unaware of what was going on.

Those cards I painstakingly collected have already been targeted by a third competitor...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 47: If you encounter a suspicious person, shout for help, or you will be captured!

Compared to Rin and Luvia, these two magicians are only able to collect cards because they rely on the protection of sapphires and rubies.

Bazett completely outclassed them in every aspect.

The two sides are not on the same level in terms of positioning.

Rin and Luvia are not yet officially magicians; they are at the apprentice level and not professional magic combatants.

As for Miyu and Illya, they're even worse; enthusiasts are being treated like professionals.

Compared to them, Miss Bazett was an absolute proxy.

Possessing the strength to contend with enemies at the Heroic Spirit level, she could even be called a killer of magicians.

Moreover, the ancestral treasure she carries allows her to subdue the vast majority of heroic spirits.

"To strike before the attack arrives... such a Noble Phantasm that can reverse cause and effect is truly terrifying."

Because of the systematic explanation, Kiana understood it very well.

Just how powerful and formidable is this new magician who has joined the card-grabbing battle?

It would be anything but reassuring to be hostile to them.

"Miyu..."

Realizing that something was wrong, Kiana grabbed Miyu's maid outfit.

"Huh? Kiana? What's wrong...?"

Suddenly grabbed by her, Miyu's face flushed red.

She turned her head shyly and asked softly.

"Shall we go and talk to Ilya about this?"

Judging by the timeline, Kuro should be appearing soon; all that's needed is for Rin and Luvia to discover the problem together.

So then...

"I'm sorry, I might not be able to do that." Miyu slowly turned around and apologized, "Because Rin-nee... has a lot of things that I need to take care of. If you want to see Illya, you should wait until school."

"Huh? Uh, okay."

Miyu currently acts as a servant in this household, although Luvia does not force her to do any work.

But she remained true to her duty, transforming from a well-bred young lady into a capable maid.

Kiana had no idea how much discomfort she would experience during this transition.

However, she respects Miyu's choice.

Therefore, he would not force her to go with him to see Ilya.

However, Miss Bazett's problem... cannot be left unattended.

"We'll be comrades on the same side in the future, so it should be okay to meet beforehand..."

Thinking of this, Kiana stopped chasing after Miyu and instead turned her gaze to the blue staff floating in mid-air.

As if sensing her gaze, Sapphire slowly turned her head.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Kiana?"

"Ahem, Sapphire, can you tell me where you found that suspicious person?"

"Huh?" Sapphire paused for a moment upon hearing Kiana's question, then asked in return, "Why are you asking that?"

Hearing her words, Miyu also turned her head and cast a questioning look at Kiana, her slightly furrowed face as if to say, "Why are you asking this?"

With the two men staring intently at her, Kiana naturally couldn't remain silent and unmoved.

She then scratched the back of her head.

"I think if there are any suspicious people, then we should keep an eye on them."

"Oh, is that so? Hmm... Since Miss Kiana asked, then I'll tell you where the suspicious person is. You two should also be careful, absolutely, absolutely do not wander around that area, otherwise, if you are captured by the suspicious person, something terrible will happen!"

As he spoke, Sapphire swayed from side to side, seemingly gesturing wildly.

"Something terrible?" Miyu paused for a moment after hearing Sapphire's words, then asked, "What terrible thing?"

“Uh…” Sapphire was speechless for a moment.

"In short, it's not a good thing. Miyu, you absolutely mustn't go wandering around there."

"Hmm, I won't. By the way... Kiana, are you leaving now?"

Miyu looked at the white-haired girl with some surprise, wondering why she would leave here for no reason.

In response to her question, Kiana simply smiled and waved, saying, "Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."

"Is that so? Kiana, be careful. If you encounter any suspicious people, remember to call for help. Don't let them kidnap you."

"Well, I will."

Kiana smiled, then turned around and resolutely strode towards the place indicated by the sapphire...

The alleyway behind the mansion looked particularly eerie because it was right next to another building.

The dim alleyway was shrouded in an aura of gloom that was difficult to dispel.

In the dark corners, there was a mess of clutter, with many things left unused and garbage bags carelessly discarded without being sorted, giving the alley an indescribable strange atmosphere.

In this strange environment, a short-haired woman in a suit was quietly waiting with a large bag on her back.

She would occasionally glance at Luvia's mansion, her cold, sharp eyes filled with the alertness of a professional mercenary.

With her extensive experience, she cleverly chose this location as an observation point, so that she could evacuate quickly should anything happen.

If the target appears at the right time, the collector who has come from afar will not mind.

Knock the girl unconscious and take her away...

"Hey, Aunt Bazett, who are you looking for?"

The sudden, clear female voice seemed to herald someone's arrival.

The short-haired woman carrying a large bag did not answer, maintaining her original posture without even making any attempt to observe.

It was as if she hadn't heard Kiana's greeting at all.

However, although Bazett ignored her, Kiana, with her rich combat experience, keenly sensed it.

The other party had actually already targeted him.

Next, if there is even the slightest retreat.

Then this hunter who has come from afar will pounce on you like a wolf hunting its prey, easily knocking you down...

"Don't be so nervous, hahaha... Sister Bazette, are you going to be as particular about being a lady as Sister Luvia?"

Kiana smiled and continued to greet them, hoping to communicate with them.

However...

'Snapped! '

She swiftly blocked the sudden punch.

However, the power contained in this punch was unbearable.

Kiana gritted her teeth and tried her best to steady herself so that she wouldn't be knocked to the ground by a single punch.

"Oh? Just as they said, she's a very suspicious girl."

After Kiana blocked his attack, Bazett finally uttered these words in a cold voice.

She raised her head, her cold eyes filled with a seriousness and sharpness that was hard to look directly at.

Like a lone wolf locking onto its prey, it fixed its gaze on Kiana...

Bazett is an outstanding warrior, not because she has accomplished any great feats or completed any epic missions.
