The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Kaguya then poured out all her worries.

In short, they wanted to give the president a gift, and also wanted to bring a gift for his sister.

But because I didn't know what kind of gift the president liked, I came here specifically to ask.

"So that's how it is?"

After hearing Kaguya reveal her true feelings, Secretary Fujiwara immediately realized everything.

He also accepted Kaguya's request.

She enthusiastically grasped the other person's other hand:

"Alright! Kaguya-chan, we're friends, after all."

“Hehe, that’s right,” Kiana chimed in.

"Um... thank you, really, thank you all."

Kaguya was naturally overjoyed to receive help from her friend.

She then named the recipients of the gifts she thought would be appropriate.

Most of them are things that young girls like, such as hair clips and necklaces.

If you're giving it to someone who is also a woman, then that's certainly acceptable.

But if it were given to Guild Master Shirogane... to be honest, it's a bit ridiculous.

It was precisely because of Kaguya's silly mistake that Kiana and Fujiwara were both trying to suppress their laughter.

“That…is a really suitable gift, isn’t it, Kiana-chan?”

"Uh-huh."

The two interacted in perfect harmony for a while, and then turned their attention to the person who had raised the question.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

"I think gifts don't need to be considered so much; the thought is what counts. If you're looking for practicality or value without any sentiment, then..."

"I think so too."

"You two... well, can I give the president a hair clip?"

Kaguya's question stumped the two of them.

A grown man giving a hair clip... While it may be a thoughtful gesture, the recipient would probably be quite puzzled.

After thinking about this for a moment, Kiana said:

"I don't think the president needs it, and it's impossible that she's so poor that she can't even afford a hair clip. Hmm... maybe I could give her something like a literary classic?"

"Huh? Literary classics... Wow, I've never thought of that before. This should be a good idea!"

After saying this, Lady Kaguya stroked her smooth, jade-like chin and nodded slightly, muttering to herself.

Clearly, she already had a plan for what gift to give.

Next, it's time to choose a gift and a time to send it off.

Kiana felt that she could handle this well without much intervention.

"So, the problem is solved? Right?"

"Yes, thank you so much. Phew... it's getting late... shall we rest? Secretary Fujiwara, may I ask where we'll be sleeping...?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Fujiwara followed Kaguya's gaze to the clock and realized that it was indeed getting late.

But it wasn't particularly late.

She rarely gets to spend time with her close friends, so naturally she wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

"Huh? Resting so early? No, let's play a little longer?"

"Want to play a little longer? What would you like to play, Fujiwara-sensei?" Kiana released Kaguya's hand and asked the question with a slightly puzzled tone.

Upon hearing her question, Secretary Fujiwara covered his thin lips and pondered for a moment.

It was after a long period of contemplation...

Suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, she clenched her fist and slapped it against the back of her hand:

"Want to play cards?"

"Eh? Play...cards? Okay, if you want to play, I'm in. Where's Kaguya-san?"

"Since everyone's here, why don't you count me in?"

The three girls exchanged a smile, and then Secretary Fujiwara took out a slightly old deck of cards.

They then started playing cards...

During this time, Kiana was not very familiar with the rules of the local card game, which led to her making a series of embarrassing mistakes.

Whenever she made a fool of herself, Secretary Fujiwara would enthusiastically teach her the rules.

He would also pat her on the shoulder like an old friend and comfort her, saying, "It's okay, as long as you control the quantity, you won't make the same mistake again."

"Is that so? Hmm, continue."

The three then continued playing cards.

Time slipped away quietly amidst their friendly interactions...

Finally, exhausted from playing, Fujiwara yawned and then collapsed onto the table full of cards along with Kaguya.

"I'm going to take a nap..."

"Ah."

Looking at the two who had fallen into a deep sleep, Kiana felt...

We can start the purification process now...

The Troubles of a New Student Council Member (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War): Chapter 31 Kiana's Akihabara Trip

In her sleep, Secretary Fujiwara slightly parted her crystal-clear thin lips, soundly fast asleep.

With her lovely purple hair, she looks so charming and beautiful.

The bow pinned to her head swayed gently with her even breathing.

It looks particularly appealing...

"So cute..."

Seeing how soundly Fujiwara was sleeping, Kiana, feeling very gratified, couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the cute bow.

"Ah~ Ooh... Don't do that, Kiana-chan! Ooh, it feels so good..."

Perhaps sensing the approaching warmth, Secretary Fujiwara uttered a soft, languid whisper.

Perhaps at this very moment, she is having some strange and beautiful dream?

But is this truly an act of one's own volition?

Kiana didn't know, and didn't understand.

However, she knew that once the purification spell took effect, the answer to this question would be found...

"I am Honkai!!!"

Accompanied by the shouting of the transformation slogan.

Before long, a terrifying black mist shot into the sky.

In just a moment, the black mist enveloped Kiana.

As the black mist washed over them, a little girl with white hair and blue eyes appeared before the two sleeping girls.

"No matter how many times I experience this, I will always feel like this... It's very uncomfortable."

Kiana tugged at her super short, gorgeous black dress, still finding it hard to accept even after her second transformation.

It's not just that her childlike appearance is unsettling, but more so because she would lose her prized fighting prowess after transforming into this tiny form.

This feeling of weakness and powerlessness is truly hard to accept.

Fortunately, a little magic is all it takes to free me from this state...

"Phew, sleep well, Fujiwara-sensei. I hope when you wake up... we'll still be good friends."

After saying this, Kiana slowly raised the Miracle Wand.

Then he gently tapped Fujiwara's head...

With the completion of this action, the purification spell is cast.

It took effect.

...

A few days after the sports meet ended.

School is out for break.

Before the holiday started, Kaguya invited Kiana and Fujiwara to go shopping together.

Her original intention was to go to a high-end shopping mall to select suitable books.
