Chapter 313: Kallen and Miyu's Meeting
Chapter 314: Kallen and Miyu's meeting
As someone expected, the next day was indeed a rare good weather. After the rain, the sky cleared up after a long time, making the world seem clean and clean.
However, for Sakutsuki, who had extended her room and decided to be lazy, the magical girls who were still fighting on the front line were not so happy.
Even though Sakutsuki fought to the death in the second singularity and even defeated a disobedient Beast, the story of Illya and Miyu continued steadily.
Then, after the battle to defeat the class card servant Assassin, it took a sharp turn for the worse.
In Ruby's words:
"For the first time, I got the magic wand I dreamed of, and I also got a lifelong friend. The two joys overlapped, and this double joy brought more and more joy. I should have had a dreamlike happy time, but why did it turn out like this..."
Not to mention this stomach-breaking line, in fact, the experience of the magical girls is also very simple-
When facing Assassin's sneak attack, Illya was accidentally hit by a poisoned dagger, and then attacked by countless Hassans based on the Hundred Faces. In a hurry, the power in her body went out of control again, and the huge magic vortex generated not only tore Assassin apart in an instant, but also almost pushed the teammates who followed him into a place of no return.
Facing Illya who lost control again, Miyu said "I don't want to fight you anymore", which eventually caused Illya to collapse emotionally and escape from the mirror world first.
Miyu and Illya, who had just agreed to be friends, had their friendship pushed to the edge of the cliff.
Let’s not talk about Illya who cried herself to sleep at home. On that night, there was another girl who didn’t sleep peacefully.
Without a doubt, it was Miyu.
After calmly dealing with the mess left by Illya and collecting the class card, she refused Luvia’s company, changed her clothes, and walked alone on the street for the first time.
It was already night, and there were few pedestrians on the street, but the lights of civilization remained on the earth. With the Fuyuki Bridge as the boundary, the old city and the new city shone with orange and cold white light. The beautiful scenery that only humans can achieve is still shining proudly tonight.
The girl who was helpless at that time and didn’t even have underwear, I don’t know when she has integrated into it and become a part of this grandeur.
“Heh…” She exhaled a breath of cold air gently. The coolness of the night made Miyu wrap her clothes tightly, hiding her little face in the collar, lowering her head, and walking casually.
She didn't know why she ran out, she just felt uneasy, as if a wandering soul suddenly lost its direction, couldn't see the lighthouse on the other side, and even lost the harbor to look back.
This familiar feeling, the loneliness of being the only one left in the world, is really familiar...
Suddenly, she had the urge to drink millet porridge.
"...Ah." When she looked up as if she had felt something, she was surprised to find that she had come to a church.
There was no one in the square at the door, and the House of God stood there without anyone visiting.
Miyu certainly knew what the church was. It was a gathering place for believers to preach, and it was also a place for prayer and confession, and a place for confession and confusion for spiritual comfort.
I don't know what kind of mood Miyu was in, but she knocked on the door of the church.
"Hello, may I ask..."
"Please come in, girl. The church welcomes visitors who are confused."
Even though her tone was a little surprised at first, she soon regained the calmness unique to the clergy. In the clear voice like a lark made of glass, the girl looked at the statue with pity and lowered eyes curiously. She frowned because of the much lighter but still pungent smell of disinfectant, but she still walked in slowly.
The woman with long silver-white hair and slightly illusory golden eyes standing in front of the church also looked at the overly young girl. After a moment, she suddenly showed a look of realization.
"Ah, it turned out to be you. If Shuoyue...if the priest is right, you are responsible for recycling class cards, uh, one of the magical girls?"
Father Shuoyue?
Miyu was stunned, and then she realized that she found this place inexplicably, perhaps because she subconsciously longed to seek comfort from someone.
It was not Luvia who provided her with food, clothing and shelter, but Father Shuoyue who had only met a few times.
But why?
"Yes, my name is Miyu Edelfeldt, I am a magic girl who assists the Magic Association in recovering class cards... Um, who are you?"
"I am Karen Aldessia, the assistant of Father Shuoyue." Karen replied with a nice and cold voice, without any awareness of being a clergyman, just leaning on the table and said calmly, "It was agreed in advance that the priest had to go out for something, so you come here now, what else do you want?"
Miyu naturally did not hear Karen's intention to drive her away. She was silent for a moment and said seriously: "I have a friend..."
"Puff." Karen made a suspicious sound and turned her face away. Seeing her action, Miyu tilted her little head in confusion.
"Hmm?"
"It's okay, please continue."
Miyu nodded and continued: "She is just an ordinary little girl, but she was accidentally involved in a dispute and was half-forced to do some dangerous things..."
In this way, Miyu recounted her experience with Illya without any personal feelings.
Anyone else might have just listened to a story and had no idea what Miyu was talking about, but Kallen somehow caught her question.
"You want to ask whether your choice is the right one, right?" Still with the same casual attitude, the silver-haired nun nodded in agreement, "Indeed, instead of letting your friends continue to suffer, it is better to take the initiative to stand up. , bear all this for her, even if it forces her friend away temporarily. "
"This was clearly a praiseworthy act and a holy act of self-sacrifice."
"Rather than causing trouble to my friends, I would rather put myself through more pain... Ah, I know this kind of thing."
"Then -" Miyu raised her eyes in search of approval, only to find that those emotionless eyes were staring at her, trying to pry open the gaps in her soul, cut open people's hearts, and use suppressive words to silence her. Step into the deepest part without hesitation.
"But does your friend agree?" The nun clasped her hands together and whispered with the piety of saving the world, "If she is really your best friend, then why would she leave you alone? Even if you are indifferent to each other. If there are thorns planted between them, she will be bleeding because she tries hard to touch them..."
After thinking about it, Kallen added thoughtfully.
"Or, just burn the thorns with a fire and stand in front of you."
Even though her mind was shaken, Miyu still shook her head subconsciously, "...I won't let her do this."
"The question is not whether she will do it." Miss Sister's smile did not change, "but whether she will be willing to let you do it."
The words were like a riddle, but they made Miyu thoughtful. After a while, he bowed and left silently.
It wasn't until long after the unexpected visitor left that Kallen removed the smile from her face, rubbed her sore cheeks, and sighed.
She had forgotten when she had laughed.
Footsteps sounded, and Kato Danzo, who had been hiding in the darkness, walked out, holding a bowl of small porridge steadily in his hand.
... People are like rice and steel, but no matter what, it is not good for guests to see a priest eating in a sacred place.
"You talked for a long time, Miss Kallen." Miss Doll was as upright as Miyu, "Is it because I saw my own shadow in her?"
In order to prevent Illya from forcing herself, she did not hesitate to force her Miyu away.
Kallen accepted the task silently in order not to cause trouble to Sakuyue.
"These words are not just for her, but also for yourself, right?" Duan Zang twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a natural smile.
"Sa, who knows?" Karen picked up the small bowl noncommittally, "But you, your original kimono has been replaced by a combat uniform. What are you doing?"
"Although I'm sorry, according to my judgment, Miss Karen does not need protection at the moment." After a pause, Kato Danzo continued, "That girl might do something stupid. Considering her relationship with her master, I Decide……"
"You don't need to report to me. That girl was brought back to Fuyuki by Shuo Yue herself, right?" Kallen waved her hand half-heartedly and said goodbye to her 'best friend' whom she had been with for several days. "Leave slowly without seeing her off. Don't come." Bother me."
"Then, goodbye, Kallen-dono." Duan Zang was also used to Kallen's way of speaking, so he bowed to himself and disappeared.
After Duan Zang left, the church became quiet again, even a bit eerie at first glance.
Kallen sipped her porridge with a peaceful look on her face.
"We are all trying to change, really, like grass growing towards the sun..."
But when will the sun come back?
The nun expressed her longing for her lightly, but little did she know that a few hours later in the morning, the young man would already know all of this by activating the familiar in the church.
"The progress has been pushed to Berserker. It seems that I can't be lazy anymore. Ah, my brain is trembling."
When thinking of the next action, Shuo Yue licked the corners of her mouth, unable to suppress the fighting spirit in her heart.
"Ah, by the way, before that, let me send a message to my wife. My daughter has been wronged. She should come back no matter what, right?"
