The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

As the arrow fired by Xiao Hei exploded, an astonishing shockwave suddenly erupted within the Mirror World.

A shockwave swept in, and everyone quickly covered their eyes to barely see the powerful explosion.

"So, at least it should be... um?"

Little Black, slowly putting away his bow, keenly noticed something thanks to his excellent eyesight.

Amidst the fiery shockwave of the explosion, a shield stood firm and unyielding...

"It's blocking the way, damn it!"

"Watch out, Little Black!" Ilya cried out and tackled Little Black to the ground, protecting him from the rain of swords.

The treasures that had been scattered from the King's Treasury flew toward the others with lightning speed.

Seeing this, Kiana suddenly swung her sword, and the surging flames instantly shattered those Noble Phantasms.

Even if any escape, she will strike them down with the lightning power to conquer gems.

After successfully withstanding the attack, everyone turned to look at the unyielding king...

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Perhaps it was because the repeated failures of his fierce attacks had worn away the last bit of patience of this king.

He suddenly made a move and took out ea from the treasure vault.

With the appearance of the sword that tears the world apart, an astonishing wind pressure followed.

"Uh! What is this...this..."

The intense wind pressure nearly blinded everyone.

The aura emanating from the swordsman was far more terrifying than the invisible wind pressure...

"Operation has been a complete failure! Sapphire and Ruby! Teleport us away, now!!!"

Realizing that danger was imminent, Rin decisively chose to retreat.

"As ordered!"

Because this was a critical moment, the two staffs stopped talking and simply continued casting spells.

They were teleported away from this place.

However, just before they were about to escape, the king who remained in the Mirror World slowly swung his sword.

In an instant, the entire mirror world began to shatter.

Everything became utterly vulnerable under the power of that sword.

"quick!"

Finally, after much urging from Rin, the teleportation spell was completed.

The group managed to escape the battle at the critical moment and appeared at the very bottom of the facility.

However...

"Finally out of danger, phew... Kiana, Miyu, Kuro, you guys are still—!"

Ilya wiped the sweat from her forehead and was about to check on her friends when she heard a strange sound.

In a mere instant, the barrier of space was shattered, and the king who should have remained in the Mirror World...

It has arrived in the real world!

"How could this be!"

Watching the black figure soar into the sky aboard an unknown flying object, Rin and the others looked up, too shocked to utter a single word.

As Kiana watched the king escape the Mirror World, amidst her excitement, she also felt a touch of melancholy.

"Our journey in this world is coming to an end. In the final battle... will we be able to defeat him, who has regained his physical body?"

With these questions in mind, Kiana sheathed her sword and looked at Illya, Rin, and the others who had finally come to their senses.

"Y-you! You're Kiana? I...I haven't quite come to my senses yet, why are you?"

Rin stared at Kiana's face for a long time, and after confirming that it was indeed the face she was familiar with, her gaze unconsciously shifted downwards.

After realizing that she had been utterly defeated, she was extremely discouraged and put her hands on the ground, pounding the floor with her fists.

"Why did you get so big?!"

Rin's sudden and unusual behavior made everyone forget about Kiana's sudden growth and instead turn their puzzled gazes to her.

"Why do you... Eh? Oh, eh!"

Ilya didn't understand what was going on until she slowly raised her head and looked at Kiana, who had become like an older sister to her.

She then touched her chest as if suddenly realizing something.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of shared frustration, a feeling of empathy with Rin...

Thanks to the reminder from these two kindred spirits, the others finally understood what Rin was going through.

"I mean, shouldn't that be the focus?"

The straightforward Xiao Hei covered his forehead, feeling helpless yet amused by the two's reactions.

How childish! To be so upset over something that isn't as good as something else's is utterly ridiculous...

Xiao Hei touched his own, then looked at Kiana's, and prayed in his heart that he would be able to surpass this strange older sister who had suddenly grown taller when he grew up.

"Look at you! Look at you! Little Black, you're disappointed too!"

"Tch, I'm talking to you!"

"Gentlemen, let's stop fooling around here. Otherwise, if we continue wasting time, I might just go and collect the last card."

Seeing everyone chatting and joking around, completely ignoring the card,

Unable to bear it any longer, Bazett sighed, then slowly walked up to Kiana and carefully examined the woman who had repeatedly embarrassed her.

But the girl who had just fought alongside me.

"Surprisingly, is this what you originally looked like?"

"Um, yes...that's true."

"Why did you show yourself in that form before?" The straightforward Bazett didn't waste any words and directly questioned Kiana, "If there's no special reason, why are you showing your original form now? Please tell me the reason, and based on your answer, I will consider whether to continue cooperating with you."

Bazett's blunt question was honestly quite frustrating.

Knowing exactly how straightforward this woman was, Kiana knew that if she didn't answer, the foreign aid would most likely go off to collect cards on her own.

"Phew, okay, I'll confess. Actually... I'm not from this world."

Kiana honestly confessed that she was not a resident of this world.

This wasn't actually the first time she had revealed her identity.

In fact, she had confronted Rin a long time ago, but he just laughed it off as a joke.

Now, so many facts are laid bare before us.

Even Rin must have realized that her words back then weren't just idle teasing, right?

"...Hmm, I see? I understand the situation now."

After Bazett finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the stunned crowd, and after a moment of thought, she stared at Rin for a long time.

Is what she said true?

"Uh...yes, it's true."

Recalling Kiana's earlier words, Rin had to admit that her initial disregard was utterly ridiculous.

Now it seems that this white-haired girl... really came from another world?

Since she, as the leader, had said so, the others silently put aside their doubts.

Seeing this, Luvia turned around with some surprise and comforted Miyu:

"Unbelievable, Miyu. Are you... alright?"

"No...it's nothing."

Miyu stared at Kiana for a long time, her shock lingering.

Kiana became aware of her gaze, but remained silent.

Now, the final moment has arrived.

Even if my identity is exposed, it doesn't matter anymore.

Once the main quest is completed and Gilgamesh is defeated, the journey in this world will come to an end.

"Now, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

After making up her mind, Kiana urged everyone to leave and head towards the surface.

After wandering around for a long time, they finally arrived at the school's rooftop, gazing at the strange flying object soaring in the sky.

"Why hasn't this guy left yet?" Ilya looked up and asked slowly.

"Yeah, why is he circling around above Fuyuki City?"

Xiao Hei stroked his chin and turned his gaze to Rin beside him.

"Are they looking for something?"

"I think so?"

Rin gazed at the black unidentified flying object and finally agreed with Xiao Hei's statement.

She felt that, if there was no ulterior motive, this crazed enemy should have gone on a killing spree and then left the city.

Why would he choose to stay here?

"The information is far too scarce. Think carefully about how many people witnessed everything tonight... Sigh... If the head chef knew all this, I wonder what he would do..."

Just as Rin was clutching her head, feeling a headache about what was about to happen.
