The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Even he himself couldn't help but be attracted by her beauty.

Who could resist the allure of a girl like that?

but...

My appreciation and love for beautiful things does not mean that I will develop feelings of love for them!

In my heart, there is only Mei... and Kage?

Why do those two look so alike?

The mere thought of a shadow makes one feel...

Kiana's heart skipped a beat at the thought.

My heart was pounding wildly during this time, and the feeling was so strange.

What's wrong with me?

Kiana was puzzled, but she dared not think about it any further.

Because if she were to delve deeper, she feared she might lose control of her emotions and do something she would deeply regret!

"Miss Kiana, may I ask you a question?"

Seeing Kiana's changing expression, Emilia suddenly asked.

"all right."

Kiana nodded and then asked, "What do you want to ask? Go ahead and ask. I'll try my best to answer."

The two smiled at each other, seemingly having become good partners.

Seeing this, Xilin smiled with satisfaction.

Parker, standing to the side, looked puzzled and surprised.

"you..."

Emilia blushed slightly as she faced Kiana.

"I?"

Kiana tilted her head, somewhat puzzled as to why the girl had suddenly become shy.

"Hoo..." Finally, Emilia mustered her courage, raised her head, and asked with a determined look, "Can you become my power?"

If Miracles Have Color (re0): Chapter Thirteen Let's be friends, okay?

Become...your power?

When Kiana first heard those words, she didn't understand what Emilia meant.

Does he want to become her protector? Or is he just a tool to be used by her?

Two answers came to Kiana's mind.

But no matter which answer she received, Kiana was somewhat unwilling.

Because Kiana is not someone who likes others to manipulate her destiny.

“Emilia, right?” Kiana called out.

"What's wrong? Oh, I'm so sorry, I haven't asked your name yet."

Emilia answered Kiana, her voice tinged with timidity and restraint.

"Oh! I should be the one apologizing. I should have told you earlier. Cough cough! My name is Kiana, a nameless traveler. I'm currently looking for work."

Are you currently looking for work?

Hmm, very good!

If she could help me...

Emilia glanced at the solidified molten iron and felt that the girl in front of her was truly a hidden talent.

With a single, effortless strike, he melted the enemy's weapon into molten iron...

Such formidable strength is truly terrifying.

I don't know where she came from, but I have a feeling...

Emilia recalled Kiana's earlier performance and felt a sense of warmth mixed with... a strange kind of amusement.

It's like realizing that you're a little bit smarter than the real person and can find a way to take advantage of them.

However, this candidate's idea may be wishful thinking.

after all...

"What if I refuse?"

Kiana spoke her mind directly.

Upon hearing this, Emilia was instantly speechless.

Hmm, it seems getting a guardian is really difficult. But if we try, it should be possible, right?

"If you have any objections or unspeakable difficulties, then I won't force you, hehe..."

Emilia smiled gently, then didn't rush to leave. Instead, she looked at Kiana with a helpless smile, clearly not ready to let the matter rest.

Kiana didn't seem to care much about this.

She never considered herself a saint, although she did not really like being controlled by others.

If given a choice, Kiana would most likely choose to actively break the status quo, and even if there are many setbacks ahead, she would choose to continue moving forward, just to find a solution.

But now, Kiana doesn't know what to do, because her fate is no longer in her own hands.

"I...don't have any requests."

As soon as Kiana finished speaking, Emilia looked at her with some surprise.

Emilia originally thought she would make all sorts of demands, such as lots and lots of money, titles and fiefs after the deed was done, or some magical items or something.

But Kiana said she had no requests...

What should we do?

Could it be that what she desires is not these material things?

Emilia stared at that uniquely pretty face for a long time, finally focusing her attention on those bright, piercing blue eyes...

"Then, sir, may we become friends?"

Emilia smiled.

She didn't believe Kiana would give up such a good opportunity.

After all, he might become king in the future, and if we set aside material things, the other party might have ulterior motives.

It seems to be just friendship?

Although somewhat surprised, Emilia had to admit that she made the right bet.

"Of course, I also hope to become friends with you."

Kiana also smiled brightly.

Seeing her warm smile, Emilia felt a warm current flow through her heart.

This girl is of superior appearance and temperament, but she doesn't have that kind of nobility; instead, she exudes a sense of approachability.

She exuded a faint, intoxicating fragrance.

Its fragrance carries a warmth that is captivating...

Emilia knew what she was thinking, and she knew what she should do now.

"I didn't expect you to be like this..."

Emilia was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded. Her cheeks were flushed, and although she felt a little flutter in her heart, she tried her best to calm herself down.

Kiana was very satisfied with Emilia's answer.

Honestly, most people would probably just turn around and politely decline such an abrupt friend request.

But she didn't do that, clearly she had her own opinions.

It seems this girl isn't the naive type.

"Since you're so agreeable, then... we'll be good friends from now on. However, I should remind you that my name is Emilia. I'm one of the candidates."

“Emilia…” Kiana murmured to herself, then smiled and said, “I know.”

"I know, this... could you please let me organize my thoughts?"

They gained a great helper for free and also escaped danger.

Emilia was somewhat surprised, feeling that her mind was a little overwhelmed by the information.

She then covered her forehead and waved her hands repeatedly at Kiana.

"So... you're going to help me unconditionally? Just because you're my friend?"

"Well... not really."

Kiana thought it over and over and realized that her motives weren't entirely sufficient, so it couldn't be said that they were entirely out of friendship.

Therefore, I really need to figure things out myself first.

Emilia found her attempts to conceal things rather normal.

After all, although it was unclear what the girl's true intentions were, it was at least clear that she had something in mind.

That alone is enough.

At least that's what Emilia thinks.

The two girls smiled at each other.

“Then, my dearest friend,” Emilia smiled and waved to Kiana, “can you do me a favor?”

"What kind of help?"
