The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Despite her severe injuries, she dragged herself to her feet, her expression calm as if the bleeding wounds weren't on her body.

The reason he adopted this attitude was not because she was a tough nut to crack.

The reason for this is simply that she doesn't have anything that can be called emotion.

In order to suppress that card with its strong sense of self, Angelica cannot have any emotions, otherwise she will be dominated by the card, which is a unique characteristic of the King's Card.

After all, he was a king who was difficult to control no matter what.

Therefore, his cards, as he claimed, were indeed half his life, a terrifying tool capable of controlling their holders.

Although Kiana was unaware of this, she understood that the battle was nearing its end.

What was originally a covert operation has now turned into a large-scale invasion. It is likely that before long, many rebels will emerge in this residential area to stop them.

If we don't end this quickly, we'll be facing a full-scale war with this family.

Because she was unsure whether her allies were reliable, Kiana decided to retreat for the time being.

Of course, it would be even better if we could bring Miyu's brother back with us.

Achieving this goal doesn't seem particularly difficult. After all, although the door is sealed with many magic spells, don't forget that we have a master magician on our side.

If we bring him in to make up the numbers, we should be able to solve it, albeit barely.

"Angelica, surrender!"

Realizing she should do something, Kiana rushed towards the fallen blonde woman almost without hesitation.

Since the other party was already seriously injured, he had no strength left to resist.

Not to mention that there was a powerful king guarding him from the side.

Therefore, the capture battle ended with Kiana and her companions achieving a great victory, almost without any suspense.

"call..."

After successfully capturing Angelica, Kiana didn't hesitate for a moment before dragging the heavily injured woman to the cell door: "Where's the key? Tell me!"

Since this is their family's prison, she must have a key to open the cell door.

If you have the key, everything will be alright.

After all, according to the current plan, rescuing the imprisoned people is definitely a profitable deal.

Unfortunately, some minor issues arose regarding the opening of the cell door.

"I don't have a key."

Despite losing a significant amount of blood, Angelica maintained her cool and collected expression. However, given her extensive knowledge, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the consequences of such severe blood loss.

Faced with the choice between life and death, this woman, who was almost devoid of emotion, ultimately chose to eke out a living.

Perhaps for him, death meant utter and irreversible loss. But if he lived, at least he would have a chance to return to his family or achieve his new life goals.

Therefore, she answered almost every question Kiana asked.

Of course, there were some questions that she absolutely could not answer, and she was forced to keep quiet.

Those magical restrictions weren't something she could easily break.

Once the secret is leaked, death will still be the ultimate fate awaiting her.

After asking many questions without getting any answers, Kiana finally had to give up.

There's nothing we can do; it seems this guy genuinely doesn't know.

In that case, the only option is the most direct and straightforward 'lock-picking method'.

"Everyone, stand back!"

Kiana slowly raised Wang Jian, her azure eyes fixed on the tightly locked door, her words filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"Kiana? Are you planning to just chop the door down?"

Ilya asked with some concern.

"Huh? Hahaha, so hehehe. What an interesting method, very interesting! Give it a try!"

Gilgamesh laughed heartily, as if he had heard something wonderful and novel.

Under the watchful eyes of these two people, Kiana suddenly swung her sword and charged forward.

The target was heading straight for the tightly locked gate.

Magical Girl's Parallel World Journey (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter Fourteen - Shirou Emiya from Another World

"Boom..."

A dull thud echoed through the sky.

Under the force of that sword strike, the sturdy prison door crumbled instantly, revealing the dark passageway.

"Crack..."

Just as the gate shattered, a piercing sound came from the depths of the passageway—the sound of chains scraping against the stone wall.

"I never expected you guys would actually be able to open this door..."

Just then, a soft footstep came from the depths of the passageway: "Thank you, you have given me my freedom, so let me help you, no... please let me do my part."

As the words were spoken, a person who surprised everyone slowly appeared before them.

He had short orange hair, and his muscular physique was visible through his tattered clothes. His scarred body was covered with wounds, each a mark of his past battles and the price he had paid to protect his loved ones.

He is Shirou...

And this Shirou, well, he looks exactly like Illya's brother.

The resemblance was so striking that even Ilya stared in disbelief.

If it weren't for the fact that she knew her older brother couldn't possibly have such a resolute gaze and such a strong physique.

She almost thought it was her own brother who had been arrested and brought here.

However, the attitudes and reactions shown by the other party fully demonstrate that he and Ilya's brother are not completely unrelated; on the contrary, they are two completely different people.

Illya's gaze swept over Shirou, finally settling on the white rope binding his arm: "So you're Shirou from this world..."

Shirou smiled and nodded, his smile full of confidence and charm.

Ilya felt a slight tremor in her heart.

This aura was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar—that confidence, that domineering presence, that quality that made Ilya's heart race.

"You're all Miyu's friends, right? I'm Shirou!" Shirou stepped forward and took the rope off his hands. "Are you all alright?"

"Hmm...it's alright."

Kiana coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, then wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "But it would be very difficult to fight. I don't know how powerful the magic in this world is, so let's retreat for now?"

To be honest, he was also very surprised and shocked.

She hadn't expected that the man named Shirou in front of her was actually Miyu's brother, and he looked exactly like Illya's brother...

Could this be the inevitable fate of someone who is a vessel for the Holy Grail? Perhaps Illya is Miyu from a parallel world, and Miyu is Illya from a parallel world.

“Ilya…”

Kiana reached out and gently patted Illya's head, saying in a gentle tone, "Don't worry about it too much. Don't forget this is a parallel world, and he's Miyu's brother."

After being reminded, the confusion in Ilya's eyes faded slightly.

She turned back to Kiana and gave her a forced smile, then nodded emphatically, saying, "Okay! Well... let's keep looking. It would be best if we could find Miyu. Or the ruby ​​and sapphire would be fine too."

Although it's frustrating to admit, she has to acknowledge that without the staff, she wouldn't be able to help at all.

Kiana was well aware of this, but...

"We don't have enough time, we'd better hurry up and leave."

After saying this, Kiana didn't give Illya much time to choose, and then winked at Gilgamesh, who was staring intently at Shirou behind her.

Perhaps because of his resounding victory, this aloof king unusually responded.

"Hehe, let's go."

After saying this, the group left the manor area under his and Celine's guidance.

Just before leaving, Ilya seemed to remember something and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Miyu!!! Wait for me here, I will definitely rescue you!"

The heartfelt cry was so loud and so full of genuine emotion.

If that person could hear this, a glimmer of hope would surely well up within them...

...

On the campus covered in heavy snow.

The group began to rest.

Specifically, this involved imprisoning Angelica and then using the power of flames to melt all the snow covering the school floor.

Gilgamesh, who had successfully retrieved his own card and protection, then carried out a covert operation on the school. After the entire process was completed, the school was finally transformed from a desolate place into a place that was barely habitable.

"What a bunch of cowards, making me, the king, do such a thing. Humph, never mind."

Although he was ordered around to do some work, Gilgamesh didn't complain much. Before leaving, he told everyone not to damage the Noble Phantasm that was providing cover, and then he went out to have some fun.

Yes, that does fit his personality quite well.

After all, for him, getting back his half was equivalent to completing half of his goal. The next step was to seek revenge against that family, and he didn't know what else he wanted to do.

He was incredibly relaxed about this kind of thing.

"I really don't understand whether he wants revenge or not."

Kiana looked away and turned to Shirou: "Are you feeling better?"

"Cough cough!"

Clearly, the torment of many days is not so easy to recover from. At least for Shirou, who is only human, he will need to rest for a few days before he can barely serve as a combatant and be fully fit for battle.

During the break, Shirou also told everyone about the various things he had experienced in this world.
