Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

"No, wait—why is Little Black in this world? Isn't she a character from that Magical Girl Illya parallel world?"

"Did I transmigrate?"

Suddenly, she remembered something more important.

"Did Acht send you?"

"Yes!"

Acht hadn't even told her to hide her identity, let alone instructed Chloe to conceal the fact that she wasn't dead.

"Is that old monster part bug too? How is he still alive even after that?"

A shadow flickered in Su Ning's eyes, but she wasn't too worried—after all, she now had Rule Breaker.

"What's your name?"

"Chloe von Einzbern."

"That name's too bad. I'll call you Little Black instead. From now on, you'll follow me."

Chloe nodded without objection. The knowledge Acht had implanted in her didn't include things like nicknames, so she didn't find the address particularly tacky.

"Actually... actually that's fine too... Chloe teaming up directly with Illya definitely raises our chances of winning the Holy Grail..."

Ten thousand miles away, in the Winter Castle, the scepter in Acht's hand suddenly snapped with a crack.

"You must be really tired after such a long flight, right? A bath can ease the fatigue—let's go take one first! Sella and Riesbyfe will prepare a room for you..."

Su Ning walked forward with a smile, ignoring Mordred beside her, and took Chloe's hand.

Chloe, who had been walking through the cold night for hours, felt the warmth of that touch and suddenly her heart warmed too.

In the large bathtub full of bubbles, Su Ning wrapped in a towel led Chloe by her small hand and stepped inside.

"We're both bathing now—that old monster Acht shouldn't be peeping, right? And with these bubbles blocking the view, even if he does peek, he shouldn't see anything..."

Thinking this, Su Ning pulled off Chloe's towel and began feeling around her body.

"Illya—"

"Call me big sister!"

"Big sister... why are you touching me?"

"This isn't touching, I'm scrubbing your back, understand? In this world, girls bathe together and scrub each other's backs—it's common sense, got it?"

"Mm, I understand."

"..."

Su Ning swore she definitely wasn't trying to take advantage of Chloe—after all, the two looked almost identical; she could just touch herself if she wanted.

She was only doing this to check Chloe's body, searching for the magical restraints Acht had placed on her.

"Found it!"

Even without activating her Insight Magic Eye, she quickly located the restraint Acht used to monitor and control her.
