The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Oh my, how surprising! I never expected this little black cat to know who I am."

Ruby's teasing voice rang out, followed by another sentence:

"Ilya, don't fight her alone, go to Kiana and Miyu's side!"

"Huh? But they aren't..."

Just as Ilya was holding the ruby ​​and frantically questioning him...

A pair of fair, jade-like hands gently rested on her delicate, fragrant shoulders.

"Yo."

Kiana's voice always sounds so reliable...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 54 Bazett's Unexpected Appearance

Upon hearing Kiana's voice, Illya paused for a moment, then quickly turned around.

There he was, looking at the familiar white-haired girl with a smile.

"Kiana? And Miyu?! Why are you two...?"

Illya was genuinely shocked that Kiana would actually appear.

"Hehe, since I guessed she would come looking for us, how could I not know that she would target you alone?"

Since Kiana has left Luvia's mansion and is living on her own, she doesn't have to go to school with Illya and Miyu.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she secretly persuaded Miyu to make an excuse and let Illya go home by herself, while she followed behind with her good friend to protect her.

As it turns out, this strategy was absolutely brilliant.

Even with his exceptional counter-surveillance skills, Xiao Hei couldn't resist the temptation of Illya appearing alone, which inevitably led him to slip up, reveal his identity, and fall into Kiana's trap.

For Ilya, this was much better than being tied up and hung from a tree as live bait.

"So that's how it is... Eh?! You two! You really trust me to be alone like this?!"

"Hahaha... Well, I'm really not worried, after all, Ilya, you're very capable~" Kiana chuckled, scratching the back of her head.

Ilya actually found her perfunctory answer quite agreeable.

"Really? Hehe, I'm not that good..."

“Ilya…”

Seeing her friend so easily dismissed, Miyu felt a little helpless.

However, she also knew that now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.

"that!"

Miyu tossed the sapphire gem directly at the girl who stood menacingly atop the telephone pole.

"I don't know who you are, but I will never let you hurt my companions. Leave now! And promise never to show your face in front of us again. Let's pretend we never met, okay?"

"Hehe, how polite you are, Miyu."

Xiao Hei scoffed at Mei You's request.

She didn't come here to hear these words.

In order to live a legitimate life, she must take back the name Ilya!

"Come on, Ilya!"

As Xiao Hei spoke, he took advantage of Kiana and the others' momentary lapse in attention and threw several throwing knives, aiming directly at Illya, who was still in shock.

"Ilya, watch out!"

Miyu realized what was happening and attempted to defend herself.

However, the throwing knife was too fast, and before she could react, it had already approached Ilya.

Just at this critical moment...

'brush! '

The scorching sword wind swept away the hidden weapon that had approached its friend with unstoppable force.

"Since you're prepared for a decisive battle, let's start with a fair fight. Little Black, sneak attacks are fine, but going all out like this isn't a good idea, is it?"

Kiana said these words very calmly.

For her, both Ilya and Black were indispensable and important figures.

Unless absolutely necessary, she really didn't want either of them to get hurt.

"..."

Xiao Kuro truly sensed Kiana's feelings, so she chose to remain inactive.

However, remaining still does not mean she has given up.

In fact, she would never give up the name Ilya, no matter what.

Because this is a chance to survive!

"Stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Hei glanced at Ilya, then slowly turned around.

“Ilya, I know many of your secrets. If you don’t want me to spread them around, come find me in the woods alone.”

"Huh? Why are you..."

"Hehe, I've been with you for a long time, you just didn't realize it."

What Xiao Hei said is actually true.

She and Ilya were originally one, but now, due to the loosening of the seal, she has finally been formed.

Unfortunately, regarding this...

Ilya, the person involved, was completely bewildered.

After uttering these cryptic words, Kuro leaped onto a telephone pole and began to retreat swiftly between the houses in Fuyuki City with incredible agility.

Seeing her leave, Kiana turned to look at Illya, intending to say something.

However, the other side had clearly lost their composure because of Xiao Hei's words.

Wait!!!

Without much hesitation, Ilya chased after him at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to see her.

Seeing this, Miyu and Kiana looked at each other in bewilderment.

We must catch up.

After saying that, Meiyou took the ruby ​​and flew up, seemingly to break up the fight.

Seeing this, Kiana didn't waste any words and leaped into the air to chase after the group.

"Yes, we can't let them cause trouble."

Despite the fact that the three girls flew incredibly fast thanks to the magic trick.

But Kiana had recovered a lot of her power, so catching up with them wasn't too difficult.

Before long, with the system's assistance, she successfully spotted them in the woods outside Fuyuki City.

At this very moment, Ilya and Kuro were locked in a fierce battle, seemingly engaged in some kind of duel.

Outside the open area where the two sides were fighting, Miyu held up her staff and watched the two from afar, as if she might intervene in the battle at any moment.

Seeing this, Kiana realized that the two might have made some kind of agreement, so she slowly stepped forward, greeted Miyu quietly, and then frankly said:

"Miyu? That's quite unexpected. I thought you would make a move right away."

"Hmm... I wanted to help, but Ilya said she wanted to settle things with the imposter."

"A showdown? I bet Kuro must have provoked her with the question of whether it's real or fake, right?" Kiana glanced at the two who were locked in a fierce battle and asked Miyu in a low voice.

"Little...Black? Is that the girl of unknown origin? Indeed, she mocked Ilya, and then..."

Given Xiao Hei's personality, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to propose a duel or competition.

However, she was well aware that when the enemy outnumbered her, this kind of formalized and standardized violent competition was the fastest way to close the gap between them.

That's why she took the initiative to provoke Ilya, and then induced her to ask for a duel.

In this way, even if Miyu wanted to, she couldn't stop it.

"That fits her fighting style quite well."

After uttering this remark, Kiana turned her gaze to the two sides who were still engaged in the competition.

Clearly, despite his swift movements, he possesses the unique abilities of a projection weapon.

But in the end, Kuro was no match for Ilya, who had many cards.

Especially after Illya took out her Saber card and transformed into a swordswoman to start the battle.

Xiao Hei's defeat was inevitable.

"You lost, you imposter!"

Ilya seized the opportunity and launched an uppercut.

The immense force sent Xiao Hei's twin blades flying, leaving her powerless to withstand it, and she had no choice but to kneel on the ground.

"hateful!"

Ilya raised her sword with both hands, swinging the sword of oath and victory with unstoppable knightly might.

However, as the sword fell, she missed the already powerless little black creature...

"You've been a great help."

Standing in the way of the oath and the sword of victory was a pair of strong and powerful arms.

Although the owner of these arms was merely a woman, her incredibly sharp eyes...

It was the kind of look only a warrior could have.
