01 Kaleidoscope ★ Why is this not a dream?!

[magicalillya]

[So today, while passing by 1448 Kramden Road, you might notice the new resident there. Specifically, a distinctive yell of this certain loli can be heard from the house. As you see, when Illya woke up in a place that wasn't her room, wearing something that definitely was not hers, her immediate conclusion was that she was still dreaming, and

[Though Illya knows the two girls hate each others' guts, what Rin just said contradicts the events in her past few months, and so Illya is even more confused than before]

But you guys were-[Oh well, let's answer Rin's question first and she can voice her confusion later]

Well, I don't really know what you mean by "fifth", but I just know what mama told me about it. Which is that her family was starting it, and that I was born to become the key for that ritual? Somehow it didn't pan out, but I don't really know the details about that either.

[And Illya immediately shrinks away. If there's something she knows about Rin, it's best to keep her mouth shut when ever that look comes up]

Oh, r-really? [Illya is relieved at the fact that someone seems to be understanding the situation at hand. Sadly, that relief didn't last long as the following question continues confuse her]

But...we met just a couple of days ago [But Illya decides to follow the other girl's request anyway since her experience tells her that whenever she encounters something strange, it's best to listen to either Rin or Luvia for the time being]

Well...Kuro isn't really fighting with us anymore. [Hmm...maybe Rin is asking about her assignment instead? Yeah, she should go with that] And...we got all the cards, or was there something wrong with that ritual thing before?

[magicalillya]

You mean...Onii-chan? D-Did something happen to him? He's alright, right?

[magicalillya]

I...Why would you even need to ask that? He's my brother, Rin-san!

[magicalillya]

...fine. [She grumbles for a moment before answering] I don't know what you mean by that, but Onii-chan is fine like always. My father took him in when father wasn't officially in mama's family register, and that's why Onii-chan has a different last name than me. He's a really great cook, and is in the archery club. And...I don't really know what else I need to tell you. You ...and Luvia-san meet him everyday in school anyway, so you should know most of this already.

[magicalillya]

...Rin-san, you're joking, right?

[Then she immediately tries to check her pocket, and to her shock, trollstick Kaleido-Ruby isn't with her

R-Ruby!

[magicalillya]

But that's...just [Though she wants to say impossible, the fact that she became a magical girl, defying what she thought was possible before, kind of stopped her. W-what are we going to do then?

Familiar? Ruby would be angry if she heard that I meant Ruby, you know, Kaleido-Ruby!

[magicalillya]

[nodding] ...Alright then. I...hope that Ruby is okay in the mean time though.

Cat? I didn't know you had one. Is she cute?
