The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The weapons of both sides clashed fiercely. Although they did not choose to engage in a more powerful confrontation, the mere clash between their divine weapons was enough to reveal a destructive power that ordinary people could only dream of.

"drink!"

After a series of exchanges, and finally figuring things out, Kage raised his naginata and swung it down fiercely...

Kiana immediately raised her sword to parry:

"A brilliant strike!"

"Focus! Distraction will cost you the match!"

Finally, after going all out in the fight...

Shadow's naginata was successfully pressed against Kiana's neck, while her heart was already aimed at the Flame King Sword.

A draw?

Despite having achieved such a feat, Shadow showed not a trace of joy:

"Why...did you deliberately lag behind just now?"

"Huh? No, you did a great job, Shadow."

"...This battle avenged my previous defeat. But...I still lost."

Having realized that Kiana was ultimately holding back, Shadow had no choice but to slowly turn around and frankly admit defeat.

"No, Shadow. Your will... is not much weaker than mine."

Kiana's voice faded into the distance, and sensing something strange, the figure slowly turned around.

The white-haired girl who should have been waiting there with her sword was nowhere to be seen, as if she had never existed at all...

"Thank you, Kiana. I hope I can beat you next time we meet."

Ying clutched her chest, feeling a slight, sharp pain for some reason...

"Why won't you..."

The god, representing eternity, choked back tears as he questioned the empty air.

A single tear slid down her cheek.

The clear, slightly warm tears seemed to express the sadness of losing again, yet also seemed to express the hope that they would eventually be reunited soon.

joy...

Well, originally I only planned to write up to the part where Thomas is saved, and then start the next world after the duel.

But before I knew it, I'd stopped writing here...

The next world is Prisma Illya. I'll be back for a while after the new version is released, after all, I promised Miss Shadow...

Well then, that's all for now...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha): Chapter 1 What a big older sister! Eh, so it was me who shrunk?

Fuyuki City, inside the stately and grand mansion of Edfeldt.

Dressed in a white casual home outfit, Luvia picked up her delicate teacup, took a small sip of the delicious afternoon tea, and felt the warm, fragrant liquid slide down her tongue and throat. She couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The weather today is perfect for afternoon tea. The gentle sunlight streams through the window, making the exquisite furniture shine even brighter and more luxurious, and it seems that its value has also increased significantly.

I imagine Tohsaka's silly daughter would be green with envy if she saw this tea set.

Ha ha.

"Miyu, the tea you brewed tastes really good."

Luvia tossed her beautiful golden curls and praised him without any hesitation.

Behind her, Miyu, dressed in a well-fitting maid outfit, looked up and asked very humbly:

"Really? I'm glad Miss Luvia likes it."

"Hehe, no need to be so flustered. I'm very satisfied with this tea. Have you been consulting with the two maids from the Ilya family lately?"

"Yes, Ilya said that if you want to know how to brew tea to make it taste better, you should go to them..."

"You actually went to this lengths just for me, Miyu..."

Luvia was somewhat surprised, and also touched.

She increasingly felt that adopting this younger sister was such a wise decision.

"Hehe, are you tired? How about having afternoon tea with me?"

"Huh? Is it really okay? I..." Miyu blushed and lowered her head, looking a little flustered.

"Miyu, you are my sister. Even if we are not related by blood, we share the same noble surname. Please sit down. Don't keep me waiting too long, or the afternoon tea will get cold."

"Hmm... okay, then..."

At Luvia's insistence, Miyu nervously sat down opposite her.

Despite the many exquisite desserts laid out on the table, she showed no intention of eating them, completely unlike when she dined with Ilya.

Ultimately, she still felt somewhat distant from the elegant and noble blonde woman in front of her.

After all, I have some secrets I can't tell her yet...

"Miyu?"

"Hey! What's wrong...?"

"Hehe, you're daydreaming. I was just asking you how you've been getting along with Ilya and the others lately."

"Yes, Ilya is a very nice person, and everyone at school has been very kind to me. Thank you, Miss Luvia..."

Luvia wasn't particularly surprised by Miyu's thanks; instead, she clasped her hands in confusion.

Why should I thank you?

"Because Miss Luvia gave me the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable environment, to go to school with my good friends, and to..."

As Miyu was narrating, Luvia suddenly seemed to recall something.

"Is the little girl you brought back a few days ago awake yet?"

"She... she hasn't had any fever yet. I don't know if it's because of an illness or something else, but her whole body is burning up. I've tried applying cold water, but it's not helping. Even ice melts in a very short time... it's really strange."

"Is that so?" Luvia stroked her chin thoughtfully. "It seems the only option is to send her to the hospital, but my investigation... it seems this little girl doesn't belong to this world..."

Luvia's unintentional remark struck Miyu like a thunderbolt, leaving her speechless and looking down as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

Her unusual behavior undoubtedly aroused Luvia's suspicion.

Just as she was about to ask why her well-behaved and sensible younger sister would react this way...

'Gurgle, gurgle!'

Someone's cute little belly issued a disgraceful protest.

"Oh dear, I've been sleeping for so long, I'm so hungry... I really want to eat Mei's lovingly made bento."

A dazed Kiana yawned and uttered these words.

However, long after she had spoken, her slow-witted little brain suddenly realized... why did her voice sound so childish?

It sounds like the babbling of a ten-year-old elementary school girl...

"Huh? He's already awake? That's a miracle."

Seeing that the little girl Miyu had rescued had not only woken up, but was even able to get out of bed full of energy and come here looking for food by smelling the aroma of cake, Luvia was somewhat surprised and came to the little girl.

She had flowing white hair, the ends of which were dotted with maple red, making her waist-length hair look like a beautiful skirt. Although her face looked a little messy from just waking up, her delicate features and bright blue eyes, as clear as gemstones, gave her an adorable, exquisite doll-like appearance.

Although this doll-like girl was only wearing a very simple nightgown, the few imperfections revealed a fragile and delicate quality to her.

Luvia crossed her arms and straightened her chest, quietly admiring the lovely girl.

It even unconsciously revealed his true feelings.

"So cute..."

"Ok?"

Sensing that the voice was coming from above, Kiana slowly raised her head.

When they saw Luvia, dressed in a gorgeous dress, whose expression and eyes revealed a noble and specially noble air.

She couldn't help but exclaim:

"Wow, what a big sister... Wait, no, did I shrink?!"

Only at this moment did Kiana finally realize that it wasn't that everything around her had gotten bigger, but that she had gotten smaller.

She shrunk from her original teenage girl size to that of an elementary school girl.

This change... is just too strange!

"What happened? This shouldn't be happening. I only remember the system notification that the next world was ending, and then I suddenly passed out. What on earth...?"

Just as Kiana was wondering why she had become like this.

The culprit who caused all of this has finally appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully entered the new world. Due to the extensive nature of the main quests in this world, you will need to trigger them manually.]

[Friendly Reminder: Due to uncontrollable chaos during dimensional travel, the system has restricted the host's power and altered their appearance to avoid unnecessary danger. Everything will be gradually restored later, so please do not panic.]

[A friendly reminder: The spoils you acquire during your travels are still stored in your system inventory. Disguise will not cause any loss to these loot. Please do not panic, and do not blame the system for any mistakes. Thank you!]

"Hey... is this system getting desperate? Hmm, it seems like it's pretty helpless too, okay."

Under the system's warning, Kiana had no choice but to reluctantly accept the fact that she had shrunk.

She ruffled her waist-length hair, then reached out her soft, white hand to touch her belly, murmuring in a childish voice:

"I'm so hungry..."

"Oh ho ho~ I must be hungry after being unconscious for so long. Perfect, let's enjoy afternoon tea together with Miyu."

Luvia chuckled softly like a noblewoman, then gestured for Kiana to join her for a meal.

After the little one offered his hand, she jokingly smiled at Meiyou, who was sitting upright in a precarious situation, and said:
