The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"You! Get down here!"

"Hmm~ Come and catch me."

After saying this, Alicia turned and ran away.

Kiana and Bronya exchanged a glance, naturally not allowing her to leave so easily.

The two of them suddenly jumped upwards and landed directly on the roof.

However, just as the two of them reached the rooftop, the mischievous fairy had already hopped and skipped away.

"Chase!"

"Come on!"

"..."

...

"Hey!"

Kiana, seeing Alicia running away in the distance, shouted, "Stop!"

Alicia ignored her shouts and continued to run away, and her speed was getting faster and faster.

"Stop running! If you keep running, you really won't be able to catch up!"

Seeing that she still wouldn't stop, Kiana got impatient and gave up the chase. Instead, she took out the Flame King Sword and swung it forward. A long sword made of ink and water shot out and slashed towards Alicia.

"Pfft!"

Alicia had a shallow cut on her arm.

However, this also made Alicia stop.

Upon seeing this, Kiana immediately ran over.

Why didn't you dodge?

Alicia looked at Kiana with a hint of resentment: "I never expected you to treat a young girl so rudely."

"Of course I can treat a young girl politely, but only if she is obedient enough."

Kiana frowned, then turned around to look.

They discovered that Bronya was still leisurely following behind.

There's no way to keep up in a short time.

Seeing that Alicia was in a bad situation, she couldn't leave anytime soon, so he decided to find a way to stall her or capture her directly.

"Hehe, looking at a charming young girl like that makes me blush."

Although she was caught up, Alicia lacked the self-awareness of a bird in a cage.

On the contrary, she began circling Kiana, sizing up her 'love rival' as she did so.

Not

I know why, but no matter how I look at it, it just seems...pleasing to the eye.

"However, if the other person is also a cute girl, then it's fine."

Kiana: "Should I thank you for the compliment?"

To be honest, she found this statement rather baffling.

However, she couldn't think of any suitable words to refute Alicia's statement.

After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you...

Alicia glanced at her expression and continued, "Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. I was observing you from the shadows and you guys seemed special, so I wanted to test you out. But it seems you really are quite capable."

How do you know I have some ability?

"Just a guess!"

Alicia answered with a relaxed expression.

Her expression and tone were as if she were playing around.

So much so that people began to suspect that she was the creator of this world.

Kiana, her face full of black lines, retorted: "...So, next, lovely and charming pink fairy, what are you going to do? Will you honestly confess and join us, or will you honestly confess everything and become a prisoner?"

"Hehe~ Oh, I didn't expect you to want her so much."

Alicia, with her hands behind her back, looked at Kiana with amusement: "However, she's already taken, you know."

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, I'm currently serving a great demon king whose name I can't reveal, but I can't just join you guys without permission."

Upon hearing this, Kiana instantly realized the key point: "What Great Demon King?"

"Hmm~"

Alicia spread her hands, unwilling to reveal too much about her boss.

Seeing this, Kiana no longer held back and directly reached out and grabbed her hand:

"No matter what, you must tell me everything you know!"

"Are you really that eager to get them to talk?"

Alicia blushed, then took Kiana's hand in return: "Okay, I promise you."

"Huh?"

Chapter Seven: Möbius Begins Gathering His Friends

I promise you...

I promise you...

promise...

Kiana was somewhat at a loss.

How could they agree so easily?

Could this be a scam?

Looking at Alicia's tightly clenched hands, Kiana shook her hands speechlessly: "Ahem! You're not kidding, are you?"

"No~ Hmm? What's wrong, are you shy?"

Alicia showed no intention of letting go, as if seeing Kiana's bewildered expression pleased her.

Just by looking at her gloating expression, Kiana could pretty much guess what kind of attitude she had towards Mei.

Well, no wonder Mei said she was difficult to deal with back then.

Kiana thought to herself, then pulled away from Alicia's hand and smiled, saying, "How could that be? I'm just curious, how does your mastermind behind the scenes view your simple agreement?"

"Hehe, let him think what he wants."

Alicia, with one hand on her hip, said nonchalantly, "Since we're in this world anyway, we're all just actors in a performance. In that case, wouldn't it be better if I went with Mei?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana was speechless: "Oh no, Mei is mine."

"Hehe~ That depends on what she says herself."

Alicia lightly touched her red lips, a playful look on her face.

Looking at her like this, Kiana inexplicably felt a little uneasy.

With such a clearly well-prepared team, shouldn't something go wrong?

But if I don't let her join, how am I supposed to explain it to Mei?

Kiana thought it over and over and decided that the only thing she could do right now was to keep a close watch on Alicia.

This is to prevent this mysterious pink fairy from going back on her word and causing trouble.

"Okay, welcome to the team."

Upon hearing this, Alicia immediately opened her arms wide: "Yay, that's great! I knew you wouldn't refuse me!"

However, when faced with her embrace, Kiana immediately intervened and said:

"Don't do that."

"Hmm? Oh, you're still shy after all~" Alicia pouted and complained.

"Tsk, I'm not shy!"

As the two chatted back and forth, Bronya finally arrived late.

She raised the gun in her hand and called out urgently, "Kiana, you!"

However, upon seeing the two of them looking extremely relaxed, the anxious expression on her face vanished instantly.

The meticulous Bronya turned to look at Kiana, her eyes seeming to say, 'If nothing unexpected happens, I think something should have happened to you.'

As she had guessed, Kiana encountered an unexpected situation.

"As you can see, Bronya."

Kiana scratched the back of her head and then said, "Let me introduce you. This is Alicia, as you can see—!"

"She's a beautiful girl, as lovely as a flower~" Alicia interrupted at the opportune moment.

After hearing the pink-haired woman in front of him describe herself as a beautiful girl as lovely as a flower, he was immediately smitten.

Bronya's expression became subtle.

She sized up Alicia's voluptuous figure, then glanced at her...

Even when being chased by two Herrschers, he still maintained such a calm and composed expression.

"A woman who is not easy to deal with."

Bronya thought to herself.

Then, she looked at Kiana.

Even without speaking, Kiana could tell that Bronya was asking her a question.
