As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"Great!" Alicia cheered happily.

“Okay,” Linis agreed from the side.

"We need to buy Fate a new outfit."

Just as Presia finished speaking, Alicia suddenly stood up, looking somewhat displeased.

"Always giving it to Fate, that's so shameless."

“This is a reward for getting a perfect score on the magic exam. Alicia, you have to work hard too,” Linice said, bending down to Alicia.

“That’s right.” Even Elf agreed while eating her meat.

“Fate…”

At that moment, Alicia jumped down from her seat and lay down on Fate's lap.

"Please help me review before the next exam."

"Ah."

Nodding, Fate agreed to Alicia's request.

Then, she looked up at her surroundings: the peaceful environment, her smiling family, and her older sister who would act coquettishly towards her.

Seeing all this, she suddenly felt her eyes well up with tears.

This is... the time I've always wanted, the time I've dreamed of so many times... so many times.

Thinking of this, Fate couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chapter 182 Everyone's Perseverance

In the vast expanse of space, Nanoha and the Book of Darkness are engaged in a one-on-one battle.

Although the two appeared to be exchanging blows, Nanoha's attacks couldn't even break through the Dark Book's defenses, while the Dark Book could inflict considerable damage on Nanoha as long as it reached her.

At this moment, Nanoha had no choice. Perhaps someone would come to her aid in a while, but for now, she could only fight the Book of Darkness alone.

"Night, pierce her!"

Seizing an opportunity, the Book of Darkness rushed to a short distance in front of Nanoha and then fired a magic ball at Nanoha at close range.

Nanoha hastily defended herself against the incoming magic ball, but such a defense was no match for the attack, and she was sent flying by the force of the magic ball.

However, although she was sent flying, Nanoha had a chance to catch her breath.

Then, Nanoha looked at the Book of Darkness from afar.

There are three magazines left, with 18 rounds loaded.

While counting the number of magazines she had, Nanoha swapped one of them onto the Rising Sun Heart magazine.

We need to unleash a more powerful shot.

"Let's go, Rising Sun Heart."

"Let's go, master."

Immediately, Nanoha rushed towards the Book of Darkness.

At this moment, in a chaotic space, Hayate Yagami was in a daze.

"sleepy."

"Go to sleep now, my lord."

Standing in front of Hayate Yagami, the Book of Darkness whispered to her:

"I will fulfill all your wishes."

"What exactly... did I wish for?" Hayate Yagami asked, somewhat confused.

"I hope to erase all the tragic reality and obtain the happiness I desire."

"The happiness I want..."

"A healthy body and a life with loved ones, please sleep, so that in your dreams you can always be in a world where no one will hurt you, a world without sadness or pain."

"Hmm... I wish that were really the case..."

Like a whisper in a dream, Gale drifted off to sleep again.

At that moment, the surrounding space trembled.

Nanoha had launched another attack on the Book of Darkness.

In response to Nanoha's attack, the Book of Darkness fired a magic cluster cannon at Nanoha, who was unable to dodge in time and was hit directly by the magic cannon.

However, Nanoha's defense is indeed very strong. Even though she was hit directly like that, she wasn't seriously injured. Although it wasn't minor either.

"You can go to sleep now too," the Book of Darkness said softly, watching Nanoha from afar.

"It will happen someday, but not now!"

Having said that, he also turned the Heart of the Rising Sun toward the Book of Darkness.

"Heart of the Rising Sun, Phoenix Mode!"

Rising Sun Heart: "Magic Unleashed!"

"Let me end sadness and nightmares!"

Even at this point, Nanoha still refused to give up.

With a casual wave of her hand, the Book of Darkness created a golden magic circle beneath her feet.

"Photon Gun: Extinction Flash!"

Immediately afterwards, a huge number of golden magic orbs appeared on the battlefield, forming a band of light that directly surrounded Nanoha.

Faced with such a massive swarm of magic orbs, Nanoha did not back down in the slightest.

............

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the clear sky, thunder rumbled, and a downpour seemed imminent.

"Fate, let's go back." Alicia looked at the sky, then turned to Fate, who was sitting on the roots of a large tree, and said.

"I said, Fate?"

Alicia was puzzled when she saw that Fate did not respond.

"Sorry, sister, I'd like to stay here a little longer."

"Oh, okay, then I'll stay here with you... to take shelter from the rain."

As she spoke, Alicia ran happily to Fate's side and sat down next to her.

At the same time, it started to rain heavily, but the two of them were kept dry thanks to the protection of the lush trees.

"I said, sister, this must be a dream."

"Fate always says strange things, how could it be... a dream?"

“I know very well that this situation is impossible now. Although this is the life I have always wanted, Mom has done everything she could to bring you back to life and to give us a better future. She was even willing to give up everything.”

"Yes, Mom is a very gentle person, but she works a little too hard, trying to bring me back to life after I've already died..."

"Um......"

"Hey, Fate, even if it's a dream, it's not so bad, right? Let's stay here and stay together forever. Here, I can be Fate's older sister, and Mom and Lilith will care about Fate a lot. There will be lots of happy things when the whole family is together. I can give you all the happiness that Fate wants."

As Alicia spoke, she took Fate's hand in her own.

However, Fate hesitated for a moment, then stood up, took a few steps forward, looked into the distance, and said to Alicia with her back to her.

"Thank you, sister. I'm sorry, but I... have to go."

"I'm the one who should apologize."

At this moment, Alicia also jumped down from the tree root, talking as she walked towards Fate, and then came to Fate in front of her, opening her hands. What she held in her hands was the Lightning Battle Axe.

"Actually, I already knew, but even if it's just for a moment, even if it's in a dream, I hope our family can be together."

Alicia then grasped Fate's hand and placed the Lightning Battle Axe in Fate's palm.

Looking at the lightning battle axe in his hand, Fate hugged Alicia tightly.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, sister."

"It's okay, am I Fate's sister? Someone is waiting for you, your dearest friends and kind people."

"Ah."

"Then I wish you a safe journey, Fate."

"Thank you, sister, I love you!"

"I love you too, Fate. May you always be safe and well."

Just then, Alicia's figure suddenly turned into starlight and disappeared.

"One day, our family will be able to live happily together like we do now."

Looking at the vanished Alicia, Fate knew very well that this was a phantom from her memories. The real Alicia should still be on Earth, waiting for Linice to return. And her mother, Precia, was living in seclusion in some other world, waiting for the day she could reunite with Alicia.

More importantly, I have my best friends waiting for me. How can I stay in this illusory happiness?

Meanwhile, outside, Nanoha and the Book of Darkness are locked in a fierce battle.

After the Dark Book dodged another barrage, it approached Nanoha and knocked her away. Looking at the figure hovering in the distance, the Dark Book said to her:

"Do you think a monotonous bombardment approach will work?"

“Yes!” Nanoha shouted.

She then raised the Heart of the Rising Sun, loaded it twice in quick succession, and pink wings appeared at the front of the Heart of the Rising Sun.

Rising Sun Heart: "High-speed assault system ready!"

"The Heart of the Rising Sun gave me the strength to save those who are crying!"

Heart of the Rising Sun: "Thrust into the solid blade!"

At the same time, a red energy spike appeared at the front of the Heart of the Rising Sun.
