The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Miyu, if you don't eat quickly, this little guy might eat all the cake!"

Sentimental Magical Girls (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha): Chapter 2 Miyu, you'd better take good care of this little sister.

"Ugh...ugh..."

Faced with the delicious desserts, the ravenous Kiana couldn't resist her hunger and started eating them voraciously.

Her little hands would grab things here and there, and any dessert on the table that she got her hands on would eventually be wolfed down.

It's fortunate that she can eat so wildly that Luvia and Miyu were both dumbfounded.

Who hasn't seen a glutton? But this is the first time the two of them have ever seen such a gluttonous little girl, and... is her stomach a bottomless pit?

Seeing the table quickly devour all the desserts, Luvia's lips twitched involuntarily.

"I was just kidding, I didn't expect you to actually finish it all, hehehe..."

"Uh, hiccup."

Having finally satisfied her hunger, Kiana felt much better, and even her thoughts became clearer.

She quickly realized that her actions seemed to have gone too far.

"Sorry, I'm just so hungry..."

"Hehe, don't be too nervous, I don't have any particular thoughts. It's just a bit of a pity about Miyu, since she made the desserts herself."

Upon hearing Luvia's words, Miyu finally realized what was happening and quickly lowered her head humbly, saying:

"No...it's nothing, Miss Luvia, I'm fine. Rather, it's enough that she likes these desserts."

"Really? Well, that's good."

Luvia picked up her teacup, which had narrowly escaped disaster, and continued to enjoy her afternoon tea.

For her, desserts are best enjoyed in moderation; if she can't control her appetite and eats too much...

The lady's weight is about to become uncontrollable.

Since Miyu doesn't have any ideas, let's consider these desserts as nourishment for the little girl to recover from her injuries.

By the way, what's her name?

"My name is Kiana, and... I'm currently an unknown traveler."

“A traveler? A homeless wanderer? How pitiful. Is there anywhere for her to go now? Or…” Luvia looked at Kiana’s delicate and lovely face, as well as her long white hair that most people wouldn’t have, and thought of this little girl.

It's definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface...

Before we find out what secrets she has, let's stay here for now. If Miyu could find a close friend in a similar situation, she might be able to integrate into this family a little better.

Do you have a place to stay?

"Huh? I have... cough cough, let's just say I don't."

Kiana originally intended to take out the Dust Song Pot and then perform a demonstration of the Liyue Celestial Artifacts for this young lady from a family of magicians.

But after thinking about it, she realized that with her strength depleted and her body shrinking, it would be a bad thing to overexpose her unusual features.

Besides, strictly speaking, I really have no place to belong in this world, don't I?

"Your answer... well, perhaps you have some past events you don't want to reveal." Luvia stopped drinking her tea, then looked at Kiana, who seemed to want more, and smiled, saying, "This mansion is empty and needs someone to clean it. Are you interested in staying here? If you want to leave someday, I won't stop you."

Although Luvia appeared calm and collected, she seemed to be trying her best to persuade Luvia to stay.

Her unusual reaction naturally did not escape the notice of Kiana and Miyu.

"This blonde lady named Luvia is really nice. It feels like she's deliberately looking out for me. It would be too hurtful to refuse her."

"Huh? Why is Miss Luvia taking such good care of her? Is it because she's suddenly overcome with compassion?"

Although it's not nice to say it like this, Miyu suddenly felt that Kiana's arrival posed a slight threat to her position.

In response, the innocent and bewildered girl cupped her face in her hands, looking flustered.

Seeing Miyu's reaction, Luvia became even more certain that she needed a partner in the same situation.

"So, Kiana, what's your answer?"

Luvia continued to sip her tea, her tone conveying a calm yet authoritative pressure, as if something would happen if she didn't agree.

Seeing this, Kiana finally nodded and then said:

"Well then, thank you, Aunt Luvia!"

"Hey, hey, hey," Luvia suddenly reached out and covered Kiana's mouth, her narrowed eyes revealing a chilling sense of oppression, "It's not appropriate to use that word to address a lady, Kiana. Do you understand?"

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

"Ah, very good."

After successfully correcting Kiana's mistake, Luvia slowly released the cute white-haired little girl and then turned her gaze to Miyu.

At this moment, the little girl he had adopted was sitting upright in a maid outfit, looking extremely nervous.

I don't know exactly why, but let's give the two of them some time alone.

With that in mind, Luvia slowly sat back down in her chair, enjoying her delicious afternoon tea while adding fuel to the fire.

"Miyu, Kiana is new to this house and still a little unfamiliar with it. Why don't you show her around? Of course, if either of you gets hungry, feel free to use the kitchen."

"Eh? You want me to take her... Okay. Miss Luvia, would you like me to make some more snacks? You don't seem to have eaten much..."

"No need, maintaining a good weight is an essential lesson for a lady. Hehe, you'd better take good care of this new little sister."

At Luvia's special request, Miyu had no choice but to slowly rise and bow before approaching Kiana.

I have to say, this little white-haired girl is really beautiful, even more exquisite and adorable than the dolls her brother used to give her.

After a brief observation, Miyu slowly approached Kiana and offered her hand.

"Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen to make something delicious."

"Huh? Really? Yay!"

Kiana, feeling like she hadn't had enough, licked her lips and then smiled happily.

Upon seeing this, Miyu let out a knowing smile.

Calling her a little sister is certainly not wrong.

After leading Kiana out of the afternoon tea room and into the corridor of the Edelfelt mansion, Miyu suddenly had this thought in her mind.

This feeling stems not only from her youthful, innocent appearance, but also from...

"He's even shorter than me? Was he abandoned by his family at such a young age? How pitiful."

Because of her slight height advantage, Miyu naturally regarded herself as the older sister and Kiana as the younger sister who needed help.

After having this thought, she suddenly realized that she could actually accept this little girl.

"We're here. This is the kitchen. Wait outside for a moment. I'll be right there..."

Kiana, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, naturally had no chance of agreeing to Miyu's request.

She reached out and tugged at Miyu's skirt, then started yelling in a childish voice:

"Eh? No, no, I want to help Miyu-neechan, is that okay?"

"You called me...sister!?"

As Kiana called out softly, Miyu felt a tremor in her heart, and her heartbeat quickened considerably.

She cupped her flushed cheeks, her pretty face revealing a look of surprise and joy, completely exposing her inner ecstasy...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 3 - Becoming a Unique Transfer Student.

Despite being young and attending the same elementary school as Illya, Miyu always harbored the expectation of becoming an older sister.

That's why she's particularly unguarded when others call her "sister," especially when the other person is a cute and charming little girl.

Miyu couldn't help but close her eyes, hugging her shoulders tightly, trembling slightly with overwhelming joy.

"Well, since Kiana is so insistent, hehe... I'll agree."

With a blush, she happily agreed to Kiana's request.

However, she didn't know the consequences of her actions...

It's no different from letting a wolf into the house!

After all, how could Kiana possibly fill her stomach with just the meager amount of desserts on the table?

She had promised to come in and help, but when Miyu picked up the pots and pans to cook...

She would either steal milk and cheese from the kitchen refrigerator, or eat all the washed strawberries, cherries, and other fruits without leaving a trace.

If Miyu hadn't noticed her little trick so early, the cake she made might have only had cream to flavor it.

Kiana!

"Ugh... I'm sorry, I'm just too hungry."

"Honestly, you. Just wait for me a moment, it'll be quick."

"Ah."

In short, after making several small moves that almost angered Miyu, Kiana finally calmed down and started wandering around the highly modern kitchen.

After being warned, she could only look at the ingredients and drool, but she couldn't start sneaking a bite as she pleased.

However, just as Miyu said, it really only takes a short while.

With a soft sigh, Miyu, wearing a cute pink apron, wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Kiana with a very forced smile.

"Alright, come and eat."

"Really? Yay!"

After waiting for a long time, Kiana, who was already starving, didn't hesitate and took off with her short, fair legs to enjoy the food.

However...

'thump!'
