The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Ultimately, the trial ended with Serena's face filled with resentment.

Kiana was very satisfied with the happy ending of the reconciliation.

In contrast to her simple joy, Huihui's reaction could be described as ecstatic:

"Haha! Thank me, Miss!"

The young magician, having won the case, waved his staff like a child begging for a reward.

Kiana, now free, couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Kiana's large hat.

While comforting her, she also said:

"Thank you so much, Huihui. This has truly broadened my horizons."

"whee..."

The two smiled at each other, then left hand in hand, intending to meet up with Aqua and Darkness and share the good news.

...

A few days later, in a small alley in the town.

Disguised and concealed by a large black trench coat, Serena slowly followed, intending to find clues about the suspect.

However, just as she left the corner, preparing to head to another part of the maze of alleyways to continue her pursuit.

A beautifully dressed white-haired girl slowly descended from the alley and landed steadily in front of her.

"Hey, it's been a long time, Miss Prosecutor."

"..."

Seeing that Kiana seemed to have been prepared all along, Sena gradually realized...

They took the bait!

We must escape as soon as possible!

Without much hesitation, she turned and tried to escape.

However, before the poor prosecutor could even set off, he was shocked to see Kazuma, Aqua, and the others waiting behind him with ill intentions.

This put him in a complete trap...

"Caught? Well... listen up! I am the lord—!"

"Come in!"

Kiana didn't even need to say a word; Kazuma and Aqua, who had been waiting with a large cloth bag, simply put it over the person.

With the sack over her head, Serena had no idea what happened next.

All I remember is being carried on someone's shoulder, and then with a 'whoosh!' I flew into the sky.

After a long and bumpy journey, they were finally able to see the light of day again.

She was bound hand and foot to a stool, surrounded by a dimly lit, dark room.

The culprit who had abducted him to this dark little house stared intently at him with its bright blue eyes, like a white cat hunting for food at night...

A Certain Infernal Affairs in Another World (Konosuba): Chapter Twenty-Five: The Curse of Erasing Memories (Physical)

she?!

At this moment, as the lord's prosecutor, she finally realized that she might have provoked someone she absolutely should not have provoked...

"You're a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army, aren't you! Damn it! They didn't even put you on trial..."

As Kiana drew closer, Sena gritted her teeth, feeling a thousand reasons not to resist but powerless to do so.

With her hands and feet bound, all she could do in front of Kiana at this moment was stare blankly and issue a warning.

Kiana was speechless for a moment as she looked at the girl struggling in front of her.

"Wow, why do you all say I'm some kind of Demon King's army officer? Do I look that fierce?"

Kiana pointed to her delicate nose, looking at the prosecutor in front of her with a blank expression.

She felt that even if she disliked him, he shouldn't look like a fierce and menacing figure, right?

Besides, although I encountered many strange things here that are hard for ordinary people to imagine, at least I was in a pretty good mood, so my expression was naturally quite natural.

But in the eyes of this prosecutor, is she still a particularly fierce and menacing girl?

"To be honest, it's a bit hurtful."

Kiana sighed and then gently placed her hands on the prosecutor's shoulders.

"Serna, can't we just calm down and have a proper talk? Look at my sincere eyes, do I look like I'd hurt you?"

"picture."

The next second, Kiana held the Flame King sword to the prosecutor's neck...

"No...it doesn't look like it!"

"Yes, I'm so glad you understand me."

Kiana smiled and sheathed her sword.

At this moment, she realized more and more that sometimes, appropriately displaying force is truly more effective than a thousand words.

However, while such swaggering behavior may be acceptable occasionally, frequent use is bound to cause trouble.

"You should be more careful in the future..."

[Host, I didn't expect you to actually restrain yourself. If this continues, I feel like you'll dare threaten the lord tomorrow.]

"Hahaha, how annoying, system. Why would I bother threatening that fat guy? But now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered..."

Kiana scratched the back of her head, then fixed her gaze on the prosecutor in front of her.

She wasn't originally from here; she was only employed here for certain reasons, and her primary task now is to obey the lord's orders.

"what?"

Upon noticing Kiana's gaze, Serena turned her face away, a hint of fear faintly visible in her eyes.

Clearly, at this moment, she was already afraid of Kiana.

I started to worry about what kind of torture or forced confession I would be subjected to next.

But all her wild thoughts were actually unnecessary.

After all, Kiana didn't have those thoughts.

"Um, I wanted to ask what the lord wanted to ask of me? He's been sending people over these past few days to inquire about our well-being and has given my team a lot of rewards. It doesn't seem like he's asking for compensation."

When Kiana asked her question, Serena was surprised for a moment, then asked in return:

"You really don't know?"

"Of course I don't know."

"Hmm... In that case, I don't need to..." Sena raised her head, intending to stand up for herself, but Kiana's glare made her immediately lower her head. "I'll tell you right now, don't hurt me."

"Thanks for your cooperation. Haha, don't be too scared, I'm not a bad person."

[Yes, host, you're not a bad person. You're the devil!]

"Nonsense, shut up, system!"

The system fell silent the moment the words were spoken.

No matter what Kiana said, it didn't respond.

It was as if they were listening to their own words.

That's really strange...

Kiana called out to the system several times, but had to give up when she received no response.

After ending her argument with the system, she slowly bent down and began to listen to Serena's confession.

"Oh? Oh...oh?! Uh, so this lord had this in mind? How strange..."

Finally, after some explanation, Kiana understood.

So this is what the lord was planning?

After all that beating around the bush, it turns out the target was the female knight in his own team?

I really don't know how to even begin to complain...

"We need to think about this more carefully... for now."

After much deliberation, Kiana finally called out to the system in her mind.

Perhaps sensing the unusual emotion in her words, the system hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he answered:

What brings you here, host?

"What would be the most appropriate course of action against her?"

Killed?

"Don't do that. I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. In the end, she was just a bit too straightforward. Well... I guess so. Anyway, if a prosecutor dies out of nowhere, it will most likely implicate me."

[A wise judgment. In that case... does the host still remember the Staff of Miracles?]

"Oh! You mean that one?"

Yes! That's the one!

However, when faced with the system's reminder, Kiana just awkwardly rummaged through the system's inventory.

"Uh... what was that again? My backpack is full of random stuff. I should have known better than to bring so many local specialties with me when I came..."

Kiana searched for the staff suggested by the system while dealing with Seina.

To be honest, she has hardly ever taken this thing out since she parted ways with Secretary Fujiwara.

Therefore, the memories in my mind became increasingly blurred.
