The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

She sat down next to Kiana, biting her lip and falling into a brief moment of thought.

After a few seconds of silence, she slowly raised her head, gazing at the exquisite and captivating face before her, and asked, "So... what kind of life do you want? What are your goals?"

Upon hearing this question, Kiana hesitated for a moment before replying, "My goal..."

"The life I want should be..."

As she spoke, Kiana paused, seemingly considering what to say next, and for a few seconds, she appeared to be hesitating.

Seeing this, Emilia, who was next to Kiana, also became nervous.

If Kiana really intends to pursue her dream, then I must be prepared.

After all, girls are prone to fantasizing in this world.

Kiana's goal...

"The life I want is one of freedom and unrestraint, where I can do whatever I want and do whatever I want, and... live happily with my friends, never to be separated."

Kiana said these words with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Emilia immediately stood up.

"you..."

"what happened?"

Kiana, who was still taking a bath, immediately covered her chest when Emilia suddenly approached.

"I really wish you could be with me, but... I wish you success in achieving your goals."

Emilia offered her sincere blessings.

"Huh? Uh, um! Thank you. Hehe, you don't need to look at me like that."

Seeing Emilia's slightly worried face, Kiana couldn't bear it and comforted her.

"At least for now, I will help you."

"Huh?"

Emilia's surprised voice rang out.

She was slightly surprised that Kiana would be so serious and responsible.

"Really? Hmm, but I have a feeling that you'll leave here once everything is over."

“This is what I truly think, Emilia.”

Kiana released her grip and then lay quietly in the bathtub, enjoying the warm water.

"...I see."

Emilia lowered her head, sighed softly, then took off her clothes and lay down in the bath.

Kiana's heart started racing as she watched her come in.

"Um, Kiana, could you close your eyes?"

Emilia blushed and asked softly, "I...I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will do something else."

She stammered as she spoke.

"No...it's okay. I won't blame you, I'm just...a little shy."

Kiana, her pretty face slightly flushed, closed her eyes as instructed, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"..."

Hearing Kiana's shy voice, Emilia couldn't help but think of her relationship with Kiana, and a wave of emotions rose in her heart.

"I'll try my best to control myself, Kiana, don't worry."

"...good."

Kiana nodded.

With her eyes closed, she slowly calmed herself down.

Feeling Kiana's steady breathing, Emilia looked at that charming and alluring face, her heart pounding, and she felt an urge to possess her.

Such an idea came to her mind.

The next second, she reached out her right hand and slowly stroked Kiana's face.

Beneath his palm lay that pretty face that he was so infatuated with.

Emilia became increasingly cautious in her movements, afraid that she might not be able to control her strength and hurt the other person.

"..."

Feeling that soft, delicate skin, her breathing gradually quickened.

"No...no."

She shook her head inwardly, trying to calm herself down, and moved her hand away to avoid touching Kiana's skin. But Kiana grabbed her hand at that moment, and a burning sensation traveled from her fingertips to her heart.

"Amelia?"

Kiana slowly opened her eyes, looking at the girl who suddenly wanted to take a bath with her with some confusion.

"...No...nothing...I just wanted to touch your cheek."

Emilia blushed and stammered.

"..."

Seeing Emilia's reaction, Kiana frowned slightly, but ultimately didn't say anything and withdrew her hand.

This action puzzled the other party, who didn't understand what the other party wanted to do.

"I'm a little curious about your partner. Who is so lucky to be on your mind?" Emilia took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at Kiana with a firm gaze.

"A very, very important partner. You are one too..."

Upon hearing Kiana's answer, Emilia was first stunned, then a deep sense of emotion welled up within her.

She never expected that Kiana would consider her a partner.

This made Emilia very excited.

"Yes, a very, very important partner." Kiana nodded and then said with a smile.

The two of them just looked at each other quietly, neither of them saying a word.

"I...I think...I should go."

After a while, Emilia said somewhat awkwardly.

She was feeling a bit unsettled, so it wasn't a good time for her to stay here.

"Let me take you back to your bedroom. It's unlikely, but it wouldn't be good if that guy from last time showed up again."

Kiana got up and picked up a towel to wipe the water droplets off her body.

"Ah."

Emilia nodded slightly, then followed Kiana out of the bathroom.

If Miracles Have Color (re0): Chapter 42 Her achievements shook all the candidates.

The Duke's mansion welcomed two guests.

The meeting place was still the Duke's living room, but unlike last time, Duke Roswaal L. Mezas, who was dressed like a clown, did not appear this time. Even the two maids in the mansion, Ram and Rem, were very impolite to be absent.

The only people present to receive guests were Emilia and Kiana, who had only recently arrived.

Of course, since the visitors needed something from him, they did not express any dissatisfaction with the cold reception.

"Oh dear, you startled me, meow."

Felix scratched the back of his head, then looked at Kiana with a somewhat helpless smile.

He never dreamed that the White Mist Demon Whale, which had plagued the kingdom for so long, would be killed so easily.

The speed at which they died felt like the same as eating a meal.

As for how magnificent the battle scenes with the killers must have been during his lifetime, he had a deep understanding of it, having actually been to the scene and witnessed the whole picture after the incident.

Such combat power... is he even human?

Felix stared at Kiana, his eyes filled with disbelief and apprehension.

Could this girl with the same hair color as Emilia be some kind of monster incarnation, or perhaps someone connected to that forbidden witch?

"It's nothing serious, no need to panic."

Kiana smiled and extended her hand, gesturing for the knight to sit down. Then she turned her gaze to the old man who was with her.

A burly old man with a resolute gaze and a serious expression.

How should we describe this old man?

Time has faded his hair to white, yet he remains remarkably energetic. Even the deep wrinkles cannot conceal the sharp gleam in his clear blue eyes.

Her back was ramrod straight, a result of her physical exercise.

He then bowed very readily.

Thank you so much!

"What?"

Kiana was somewhat puzzled by the old man's standard bow.

Uh, he didn't come to cause me trouble or warn me?

They bowed as soon as I entered; that's incredibly kind of them.

Anyway, thanks?

What are you thanking me for?

Confused, Kiana turned her gaze to Emilia and Felix, only to find that both of them were smiling gently.

They seemed to think the old man's actions were perfectly reasonable, almost without any fault in them.
