SGS 1448: This girl is destined to pierce the heavens
Fuyuki city centerâŚ
This is the most prosperous zone of the city. The traffic here is congested while the streets are lined with various shops.
One can find daily necessities, luxury items, and everything in between here. There are also a ton of stalls and snack shops here, making it the must-visit place for ladies who like shopping.
Illya and Miyu sat at one of the tables of a lovely cafe as they face Wu Yan awkwardly.
Theyâre both students who study at the same school, in the same class, and, theyâre even sitting near each other as they share the same column of seats.
But, judging by the energy emitted by the two girls, it is evident that theyâre not very close to one another. They could be described as girls who just happen to sit next to each other.
But, their fates are inextricably linked.
With Wu Yan near them, the air turned tenser.
Illya wanted to run.
But, she dispelled that notion when someone talked.
âAh, here you go.â
Wu Yan had already gone into the cafe and fished out three Sundaes. He laid them on the table before retaking his seat.
âAs expected of the most famous cafe in town, I canât believe I have to line up and order.â
Illya and Miyu didnât listen to him.
The sundaes caught their attention.
The sundaes easily had three layers of toppings. With the overall dish being as big as an apple, the condiments and snacks that surrounded the sundaes were nothing to scoff at. Peaches and strawberries are also artistically laid at the sides to make the Sundae look super luxurious.
Against such a thing, forget about Illya, even Miyu who lived in the wealthy household of the Edelfelt also couldnât help but be stunned by this absolute specimen of a dessert.
âI hope you girls donât mind, I decided to decorate the sundaes with my own touch.â
Wu Yan commented when he saw the two girls spacing out.
âCome, dig in, donât restrain yourselvesâŚâ
Illya wanted to turn him down but that super-awesome-looking sundae just caused her mouth to water. Miyu also wrestled with her own demons despite her rational mind telling her no.
âGo on, weâre killing daylight here.â
Wu Yan urged them with a smile.
âItâs just a sundae, donât be so stiff about it.â
âIâŚâ
Illya lost to her own mental demon, she grabbed her spoon.
âOkay, I am digging inâŚâ
Miyu also silently grabbed the spoon near her. Both girls took a bite at the same time.
âMwoah!â
The two girls chirped happily.
âThis is incredibleâŚâ
Illya praised. Miyu also looked extremely radiant. She lost her cool exterior.
Wu Yan amused himself with the sight of two girls acting their age and enjoying good sundaes.
He asked Miyu why she was falling from the sky.
Miyu lowered her defensiveness after he offered her a sundae. Although sheâs still hesitant, she fessed up.
Illya and Wu Yan couldnât believe their ears.
Illya wanted to get better at flying because of Caster. It turns out, Miyu also needed to do the same.
Compared to Illya, however, Miyuâs journey of flying is a lot more disastrous.
The Kaleido Sticks gave their wielders access to infinite magic power and can manifest products of imagination as attacks.
The two magical girls can fly but they must be able to conjure a strong image in order to do so.
Illya had no issue doing so. As a normal girl, she always fantasized about flying as a magical lady. She could fly with no issue.
But, Miyu couldnât do it well.
She is extremely logical and her grades are also top of her year. Her basic assumption that humans canât fly is making it night impossible for her to fly or even levitate for a short period of time.
Luvia had a drastic idea to improve this situation.
She decided to toss Miyu off a flying helicopter and make her learn to fly.
That was how a certain wolf captured Miyu.
I see
âIt ainât easy being a magical girl.â
Wu Yan concluded.
âIllya should be fine for now. But, Miyu is probably going to get the business end of Casterâs wand at tonightâs raid.â
âMiyu-sama is trying her best.â
Sapphire commented. She was hiding behind her neck, veiled by Miyuâs hair.
âShe is just too smart.â
âYeahâŚâ
Ruby also chimed in.
âUnlike Illya who loves fantasizing, her logical mind is her biggest hurdle. Since Illya lacked the mental faculties to process logic, this trait combined well with her innocently childish nature and thus gave rise to her ability to excel at things normal people canâtâ
âHmm, it doesnât like youâre complimenting me.â
Illya retorted with black lines coming down her forehead.
âBut, Miyu is the same age as me, she must have some fantasies we can base her magic on?â
âFantasies and dreams?â
Miyu continued.
âDo I have dreams?â
âHah?â
Illya gasped.
âHey, MiyuâŚâ
Wu Yan wasnât sure but he needs to confirm it.
âYouâre not going to say you never dreamed?â
âNoâŚâ
âThe dream of flying just never crossed my mind.â
âAhâŚâ
The other two exchanged a look.
âOkay, MiyuâŚâ
Wu Yan tried to give her a chance to talk.
âWhat do you normally dream about?â
Miyu thought about it before answering.
âThe construction process of a car.â
The other two widened their eyes.
âOr⌠the construction of a submarineâŚâ
The other twoâs mouths turned into âoâ-shapes.
âThe construction of a planâŚâ
The other two started sweating hard.
âThe construction of a missileâŚâ
Miyu is still calm.
âBut, the last one failed.â
âI am sure it did!â
Wu Yan almost flipped over his table.
âYouâre telling me you actually succeeded in some of your dreams?!â
âWhat a scary girlâŚâ
Ruby said.
âHow about you quit being a magical girl and sign yourself up as a lab rat?â
âMiyu-samaâŚâ
Sapphire commented.
âMustâve been hard on youâŚâ
Illya wiped away her cold sweat.
âNow I know just how lucky I got it. If this is how I would turn out then I am glad I am not hitting the books right now.â
âWe can conclude that she is too rational and logical in her approach.â
Wu Yan bitterly laughed before putting down his spoon.
âFrom this, we might need to switch her brain for someone elseâs so she can fly. That would be easier than convincing her that humans can fly.â
