The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Yun Jin's singing voice is exceptionally beautiful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the best in Liyue Harbor. Respectfully addressed as "Sir," she is currently showcasing her voice from the stands. Her beautiful singing voice spreads far and wide...

Below the stands, the Liyue people gathered together in joy.

Kiana reluctantly opened her mouth, forced to accept the "feeding treat" from Mei and Kage. Unfortunately, these two, in their eagerness to prove their overflowing affection, had already perfectly demonstrated what "force-feeding" truly means...

At the next table, Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Ning Guang discussed the future development of Liyue Harbor, while Ying and Paimon sat to the side enjoying their meal.

Behind the group, Yanfei was explaining the rules of law and order in Liyue Harbor to Shenhe, and at the end, she didn't forget to promote her lawyer status, saying that he should ask her if he had any questions in the future. Of course, it would be even better if she could patronize his business...

Among the many Liyue residents who came to join in the fun, a table that seemed out of place stood out and was avoided by everyone.

Anyone whose gaze fell upon this table inevitably shifted their attention and lowered their head to whisper among themselves. The prevailing reaction was a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.

The reason for this outcome is that the people at the table are unusual.

One is the head of the Hall of Rebirth, one is a guest minister of the Hall of Rebirth, and one is the executive officer of the Fools' Clan.

Although at this moment, Hu Tao was attentively listening to the lecture, Zhong Li was savoring his tea, and the young master... was holding his head in his hands, looking utterly bored, their special identities destined them to attract everyone's attention...

"The cranes returned at that time"

In the vast world, I have no one to rely on.

Departing alone

Goodbye today

The room was filled with both new and old friends.

Gathering here at this moment...

As Yun Jin finished singing the last line of the opera, the entire Qunyu Pavilion was filled with cheers.

Not long after tonight, Liyue finally entered the important day of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new.

What exactly should we do during the Chinese New Year?

Kiana didn't know either...

"Mei, Kage, do you have any places you want to go for fun?"

Kiana, who had been squeezed into the corner of the bed in the inn she had stayed at before, looked helpless. At this moment, Kage and Mei were sleeping in a rather unseemly manner, because the bed was originally meant for one person, which meant that she was squeezed so much that she had almost no room to rest.

That's why I suggested going out for a walk.

However...

"Ah~ umm... Kiana, what are you saying? As long as you're by my side, that's enough."

"Yes, I really wish this moment could last forever..."

These two 'sisters,' whose expressions and appearances were remarkably similar, sat up together. Clad only in their undergarments, they looked so alluring and captivating that, for some reason, Kiana felt... well, a little...

Heartbeat.

I don't know why...

Ever since her encounter with Kage and Mei, Kiana had been filled with anticipation, constantly fantasizing about being intimate with them. However, she had never had the courage until now, when she finally mustered the courage to...

"Hmm?...Kiana, why is your face so red?"

"Yeah~ Kiana~ Do you have a fever?"

Kage and Mei noticed Kiana's unusual behavior. When they saw Kiana's appearance, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, as it was the first time they had ever seen Kiana's face turn so red.

"I...I'm fine."

Upon hearing what Kage and Mei said, Kiana quickly shook her head and then changed the subject:

"Kage, Mei, it's almost noon now, do you two want to continue sleeping?"

"Okay, go back to sleep."

Shadow nodded and then closed her eyes. Mei nodded as well.

"Uh... okay then... you guys keep sleeping, I'll get up and prepare lunch?"

Kiana got out of bed somewhat hastily, preparing to leave.

Kiana!

Just as Kiana stood up, Mei suddenly got out of bed and called out to her:

"Kiana, wait a minute!"

"what happened?"

Kiana turned around and looked at Mei with a puzzled expression.

Your face...

Mei reached out and touched Kiana's cheek, looking somewhat worried: "It's hot!"

"No..."

Kiana touched her cheeks and felt a little hot, but not very hot. In fact, she felt quite comfortable and didn't feel any discomfort.

"No fever?"

Upon hearing Mei's concern, Ying opened her eyes and got out of bed.

Both of them gently touched Kiana's cheeks with the backs of their hands, making Kiana somewhat puzzled. She touched her own forehead, but there was no sign of it being hot.

"Kage, Mei, you really don't have a fever. I don't feel any discomfort."

"Are you really sure? I just touched it and it felt a little hot!"

Shadow grabbed Kiana's shoulder, made her look at him, and said seriously.

"No! I feel really comfortable."

"Are you really alright?"

"It's really nothing."

"Okay, please let us know if you feel unwell."

Mei's words echoed in Kiana's ears, making her feel very warm.

However, it is very regrettable...

"We've rested enough, we can head to the next world now, Kiana."

Kiana, who was urging the kitchen to prepare the meal, turned around and looked at Sirin, who had appeared behind her at some point.

At this moment, the doll is standing with its arms crossed, legs crossed, looking at me calmly.

His expression didn't waver in the slightest...

"How many days left?"

"Around the end of the New Year, right?"

"That still gives me some time. Ah... oh~ what will happen when the time is up?"

Kiana yawned, then asked with a concerned look.

They each returned to their own worlds, and everything went back to normal. As for you and me, we will continue our journey...

"Is that so...? It's a little hard to say goodbye..."

Kiana sighed. Although she had thought about stopping her journey more than once, she now found herself unable to do so...

Perhaps only in the intervals between travels can one truly experience the freedom and peace that belong to oneself, and only then can one truly become oneself...

Looking at Kiana, who seemed a little melancholy, Sirin pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, our time together may be long, but it won't be too long. Just like this moment, all good things must come to an end. One day, you'll be able to stop, soothe your weariness, and enjoy the peace of your twilight years..."

Sirin's voice was gentle yet firm, and this tone and voice warmed Kiana's heart.

"I never knew you could comfort people."

"What are you saying? I'm very considerate, okay?"

"Hehe... Hmm. Let's hurry up and bring the food over, those two lazybones probably can't wait any longer!"

Kiana smiled sweetly, casting aside the sadness of parting, and bravely resolved to embark on a new journey...

If Miracles Have Colors (re0): Chapter 1: Must I Clear It on My First Blood?

A gentle breeze swept across the grass.

Among the grass, a wild rabbit was running quickly. It seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly stopped, turned around and looked in a certain direction in the grass, as if trying to confirm something.

But at that moment...

A 'thump!' sound came from the bushes in that direction, followed by a cry of surprise: "Ouch!"

Then came a calmer female voice: "How are you? Are you alright?"

The hare turned around.

It quickly ran towards the source of the sound, as if it were searching for the origin of the sound.

soon.

It then found the direction from which the sound was coming from.

It was a raised mound of earth.

The hare stood beside the mound, pushed off with all its might, and quickly leaped onto the mound. It raised its head and looked in that direction, a hint of fear in its eyes.

"what to do?"

Its eyes became confused at that moment.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from the nearby woods.

The figure was dressed in a special white battle suit, and the fluttering cloak was as dazzling as a flag. She was of medium build and was carrying a dizzy little guy in her hand.

The mere sight of this girl filled the hare with genuine fear.

What terrified it even more was the giant sword held in the young girl's hand...

The sword radiated intense heat, its crimson color making it resemble a branding iron; even from a distance, one could sense its unusual nature.
