The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

When Beatrice saw this, she was so angry that she started pulling her hair.

"Don't touch my treasures! Lord Julian will be angry!"

As she spoke, Beatrice raised the wand she was standing on high, and in that instant, the wand transformed into countless rays of light.

A moment later, the staff disappeared down the corridor.

The ruby...ran away?

"Varied!?"

The sudden turn of events greatly surprised Beatrice.

She never expected that the witty and sarcastic staff would choose to run away at this moment.

The key issue is that he's not in the mood to hunt down this piece of junk right now.

"Ugh!!! I'm so angry! Angelica's not here again! I'm talking to you two!"

After Ruby escaped, Beatrice didn't pursue her. Instead, she rushed into her room, dragged out the two maids, and started tidying up the room herself: "Go and bring back that broken staff!"

"Yes..."

The two maids nodded and then began to hurry down the corridor...

...

The Ainsworth family's plan was very simple.

After bursting into the mansion, the group quickly dispersed and searched for Miyu's whereabouts according to their respective groups.

That was such a simple plan, yet it encountered rather serious difficulties.

The space of this mansion... is extremely eerie.

"Ilya?"

After rushing into the mansion, Kiana and Illya were running down the corridor together, but after turning around, Kiana and Illya...

Ilya behind her was gone, and her location had changed drastically.

It was as if I had been teleported away in an instant.

"Cirin, are you there?"

Kiana knocked and looked around, somewhat skeptical, opening and closing the door repeatedly, only to be surprised to find that the location each door led to changed drastically each time it was opened and closed.

The space here feels almost distorted.

Such a bizarre phenomenon is hard not to feel astonished and panicked.

Fortunately, Kiana wasn't alone.

"what happened?"

Celine appeared at his side as if she were just called upon, and asked in that irritating tone, "You're not so bored that you want me to sing you a song, are you?"

Can you sing?

"Of course not, you can't!"

After making the joke, Kiana felt much less stressed.

She swung the Blazing King Sword and slashed at the window of the mansion's corridor.

As a result, I asked a question that I was really concerned about.

Why is the space here so strange?

"Because this is the territory of that family, they control the technology of spatial manipulation, and you are not their friend. Hmm..."

Xilin sat on the large scissors to shield her feet, and continued in a rather casual tone, "In that case, isn't it normal that they deliberately played a trick on you?"

That's really annoying.

Knowing she might be being manipulated, Kiana didn't hesitate and charged towards the other end of the corridor with her sword.

Since I've already fallen into a trap, I might as well try to reach the end of the corridor.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death has never been her style.

In this frantic run, Kiana passed through one corridor door after another, although the surrounding scenery seemed to remain unchanged, merely repeating the scenes she had walked through in the past.

But Kiana firmly believes that as long as she moves forward, the road will continue to unfold!

Not long after...

As another door opened, she bumped into... two maids.

Kiana froze the moment she saw the two of them.

If it were just two maids, she wouldn't have acted this way.

The reason she was stunned was that she knew both of them.

"Rin? Luvia? Why are you here too???"

Kiana couldn't help but reach out her hand, wanting to confirm whether these two were indeed her friends, but before she could even touch them...

The attack then arrived...

"Suspicious person spotted, advance!"

Rin was the one who launched the first attack; her eyes were lifeless, and she looked like a machine.

The broom she held now exuded a menacing, spear-like aura...

Magical Girl's Parallel World Journey (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 20 The Darkened Junior, Matou Sakura

Kiana never expected that she would see Rin and Luvia in their maid outfits here.

Of course, that may not be important; what is important is that at this moment, these two people seem to be hostile towards me.

Two young girls with vacant eyes wore maid outfits in different colors, subtly revealing the elegance and beauty that someone their age possesses.

They were like two blooming flowers, beautiful, noble, and aloof.

But their delicate faces were blank and lifeless.

"Why is that? They're all my good friends!"

"How could my good friends, who once fought alongside me and Ilya, now become enemies?"

Kiana looked at Rin and Luvia's expressions and muttered to herself in disbelief.

"We are the enemy."

Rin spoke in a flat voice, which sounded particularly jarring to Kiana's ears.

"Tsk, Rin. That's not a funny joke!"

Kiana couldn't believe it; she looked at her two friends.

My mind was filled with doubt.

She didn't understand why the two girls suddenly became hostile towards her.

What exactly happened?

Does that mean they don't know who they are?

Kiana's mind was filled with countless questions, but she had no way of answering them.

This feeling troubled Kiana greatly. She looked at the two girls, hoping to find a trace of memory in their eyes.

However, all they saw in their eyes was emptiness, an endless emptiness.

Nothing.

"Could it be that these two are being controlled?"

Kiana thought to herself.

No matter what, she would never allow her friends to become enemies.

"Stop now, the two of you can't defeat me."

Kiana rushed toward Rin and Luvia, but just then, a cold dagger was placed against her neck.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill you!"

Rin's voice was cold, like that of a queen, exuding an irresistible aura of dominance.

"I never imagined that one day you would hold a weapon to my neck. Rin, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

Kiana remained unfazed; she knew that the beautiful young woman before her was absolutely true to her word.

However, given her strength alone, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream for her to kill him.

"Die."

Upon hearing Kiana's reply, Rin gave a disdainful snort and then exerted a little force.

The next second, Kiana grabbed her hand and pulled her over with force.

He executed a near-perfect over-the-shoulder throw, forcefully slamming the maid dressed in a maid outfit to the ground, rendering her unconscious.

"Phew, thankfully she didn't use magic in this situation. If she had, it might have put me in a difficult position..."

Kiana asked somewhat nervously, "Luvia, are you also planning to be as stubborn as Rin?"

Whether it was to confirm Kiana's guess or not, Luvia immediately drew her weapon to fight back.

However, before she could even get into position, Kiana suddenly unleashed a chop to the back of Luvia's head.

'Clang!'

With a muffled thud, Luvia, who was being controlled by some unknown force, was knocked unconscious.

Kiana, who easily defeated the two, wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"A quick victory definitely has its advantages. Luckily, the two of them were a bit careless, otherwise it would have been bad if they had been hurt."

“Hmm…” Celine, who witnessed the whole process, tossed her ponytail. “Indeed, these two guys were controlled, but it can’t be said that they were completely controlled.”

They were the kind of people who could be saved with a little effort. Your ability to subdue them really prevented a lot of accidents, Host.
