418,
While Cyclone works hard and studies, Yuna sits above in the warehouse, gazing up at the night sky. The surroundings have been confirmed, now located near the small harbor southwest of Kakarl, not too close to civilization, but with several escape routes to choose from, making it an advantageous location. More injured individuals arrive, and Yuna observes them from above.
"Promise?"
Recalling the words Cyclone once said to Yuna at home.
"Yes~ It's a promise, I'll work hard on medicine, and you should also work hard on magic."
The man who once considered "home" a gift to Yuna, now presented a surprising gift, a "goal".
"How's that, darling~"
Embraced from behind by Cyclone, Yuna's heart had long surrendered.
Without much thought, Yuna nodded.
"Magic, huh..."
Yuna, who only specialized in a few practical spells, was a perfect killing machine.
"Although that's true, working hard on magic..."
Yuna sighed, pausing to ponder. Neither Cyclone nor Yuna knew what it really meant to "work hard on magic".
Under the night sky, amidst countless stars, Yuna hoped the answer would be found there.
At that moment, a cold sensation washed over her.
Though faint and distant, Yuna could indeed feel it.
Amidst the vast sea of magic at the Dragon Festival, Yuna sensed a hidden magic, strengthened by her enhanced magic detection, and the chilling sensation only confirmed it – it was someone she recognized.
Standing up, Yuna gazed into the distance.
From the skylight, Yuna glanced at Cyclone inside the warehouse.
"I'll think about magic some other time."
With a smile, protecting Cyclone was Yuna's top priority.
With her decision made, Yuna leaped and traversed the rooftops of Kakarl.
In a final graceful landing, Yuna stood behind a certain girl in white.
"Why are you here?"
Yuna spoke directly, summoning her scythe into her hand.
But the girl ahead not only didn't turn around but didn't respond to Yuna's words either.
"You..."
Yuna pondered.
"I don't know why you're getting close to my husband, but if you dare to harm him..."
Lifting her scythe, Yuna pointed it at the girl's back.
"I won't be afraid of you, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will kill you!"
With a threatening tone, Yuna showed an expression not usually seen.
However...
The girl paid no attention to Yuna.
"Several times now?"
On a certain evening, Yuna and Cyclone interacted in bed.
"You said you wouldn't hide anything from me, right?"
Yuna turned around and straddled Cyclone.
Adjusting herself, with a perfect connection, Yuna displayed her skilled riding technique.
"This..."
"Speak~"
To prevent Cyclone from thinking, Yuna intended to force him to give the most direct answer through continuous attacks.
"You know, I have no interest in flat-chested women!"
"Oh, is that so?"
As Yuna rode faster, Cyclone admired Yuna's magnificent riding skills and spoke truthfully.
"It should be the third time now~ The first time was in Allen City, then it was that maze, and finally just the other day..."
Yuna increased her speed, and Cyclone could feel Yuna's unease.
"Yuna... I might be an important pawn to that woman..."
Before finishing the sentence, Cyclone, with a smile, turned around and began to demonstrate her own riding skills.
And so, that day, the two of them competed several times in riding techniques.
In the end, Cyclone simply replied to Yuna,
"It's okay, no matter what happens, just follow the path you want to take."
Cyclone was Cyclone, Yuna was Yuna.
Cyclone didn't mind, but Yuna did.
Slowly, Yuna moved forward, staying cautious and getting closer.
"I know..."
Yuna tried to provoke the other with her words.
"Klein never gave the order to the Grand Vizier to kill the Isnila family. Looking at it this way, the only person who could have killed the Isnila family that day was..."
Yuna's sickle was already pointed at the girl's neck, at this close distance, there was no room for error.
"The traitor of Allen was not your sister Sophie Isnila, but you, Mikoni Isnila!"
The night wind blew between the two of them, and in the end, only Yuna spoke.
The prophet of Allen, rumored to have the strongest prophetic power of the time...
Yuna shook her head, dismissing all speculation.
"Mikoni Isnila! Don't waste any more of my time. Why did you get close to Cyclone!?"
