Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

Then, Su Ning projected Rule Breaker and plunged it into Chloe's abdomen.

"Sister?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm helping you! Trust me!"

The sharp pain in her abdomen made Chloe's whole body tremble, but looking at Su Ning's clear eyes, she still decided to trust Su Ning and didn't resist.

"Boom!"

The magical prohibition shattered under the effect of Rule Breaker, and Acht lost his control over Chloe.

"Alright, that old monster Acht isn't a good person. The magical prohibition he planted in your body has been broken, so he can never control you again... Now, let me stop the bleeding first..."

Chapter 8: Miss Is Truly Too Smart

A faint, emerald-green light flowed slowly from her fingertips into Chloe's wound, rapidly stopping the bleeding and promoting recovery, until not even a single scar remained.

Healing magic was something she had just learned as well; with Illya's magical talent, it was basically as easy as breathing.

"Then... do I still have to obey the clan leader's orders?"

"Of course, you listen to what you think is right and ignore what isn't. You're free now, you have to learn to think and judge for yourself!"

Chloe stared blankly at her, and only after a long while did she gently nod.

Having just come into contact with this world, she didn't know what was right or wrong, nor did she even understand how important freedom was. But she knew that Su Ning was doing this for her, so she felt she should continue to help Su Ning and win this Holy Grail War.

On the soft, large bed, two small figures slept embraced.

Originally, Su Ning had prepared a room for Chloe, but after gaining her freedom and finding a new goal, Chloe suddenly became a bit clingy.

Warm sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, landing on her small face.

Thanks to the winter sun rising relatively late, she slept soundly until one in the afternoon.

"Haah~"

"I really haven't slept this comfortably in a long time--"

Su Ning glanced at Chloe, who was still fast asleep beside her, quietly got out of bed, and stretched long.

In the past few days, to avoid Acht's surveillance, she had hidden under the covers every day to secretly learn magic, sleeping less than four hours a day—she was even more diligent than when she was a senior in high school in her previous life.

"Miss--"

"Shh!"

Perhaps hearing the commotion in the room, Sella opened the door and walked in.

After seeing the gesture Su Ning quickly made, Sella immediately caught on and lowered her voice.

"Miss, should I prepare lunch now?"

"Mm, go ahead. Also, prepare the car and some money. After we eat, we'll take a trip into the city."

"Yes, Miss."

Probably because she was too tired from walking nearly all the way around Fuyuki City last night, Chloe only slowly opened her eyes after Su Ning had already washed up and changed clothes.
