The Delinquent's Grand Order

All Magical Girls Together

With Helena now joining them on this magical girl adventure, it was finally time to confront this First Lady. The journey back was on ship this time, allowing Illya the time to finally think things over. Before, things had gone way too fast or Keiji would grab Mash and fly. Sometimes leaving her because Keiji was far too fast, which allowed Ruby the chance to tease her some more. Never letting go of what Illya accidentally saw.

"By the way, Illya, I hate to ask... but do you know how you are going to get back?"

Silence is all that Romani, and the others, needed to see for them to realise that hadn't come to her mind just yet. "I didn't think about that!"

"Yeah, we can see that," Romani commented. "Wait, but if those magical sticks were really created by such an awesome Mage, then would you know how to do it, Ruby?!"

"It wouldn't matter if we knew how to do it, Illya and Miyu are incapable of using that level of magic. It's something they'll have to figure out themselves," Ruby explained. "This is more than just simply being a magical girl. Precisely selecting the location to return to is impossible for their level, especially when it's from the endless alternative worlds that exist."

Keiji nodding. "When you put it like that, Ruby does make a good point."

"Ah, I forgot about Kuro!" Illya screamed.

"Kuro?" Mash replied.

Ruby smiling (as much as one could know that a magical stick was smiling). "She's Illya's sister, a really cheeky one! And that little devil is all alone with Shirou!"

"Sister? I don't have a sister, so I wouldn't know, but I'm kinda surprised you didn't bring that up sooner, Illya," Keiji told her.

Illya definitely feeling embarrassed, especially as the explanation provided by Ruby, while misleading, wasn't inaccurate. A sigh to get the annoyance out of her body, allowing her to think normally. "It's a long story."

"We've got time," Helena said, grinning a bit. "Even though I'm a Servant of Chaldea, I'm a magical girl in this moment. I can humour an explanation."

"We'd love to hear about your little sister," Mash added, not having had anything in terms of sibling endearment. Just as eager to learn anything she could about this.

Illya looking to keiji, who shrugged his shoulders. "Up to you. Now that it would, but it may even help us regarding this whole magical girl case. How? Don't ask me, just guessing."

Having had the full story about Illya to relax, the busy world of being a magical girl and their difficulties was thrust upon them again as Medb's familiars were fighting something. Rushing to the scene, everyone turned to Ruby.

"Looks like Illya isn't the only one who forgot to mention about having a sister," Keiji commented, with Illya meekly commenting about how the 'sister' part between her and Kuro was both wrong and accurate.

Instead of rushing to stop them one by one, Keiji blew them away in one fell swoop, being careful to not send the magical stick flying. "Phew, I thought I was a goner! Thanks for the help!" the magical stick replied.

"Are you looking for Miyu, Sapphire?"

The blue magical stick even more happy to see the support as it rushed forward, shaking as they did. It was bit comical as they naturally didn't have any proper hands to greet each other. "You are here as well, big sister Ruby!"

"So we've got Magical Ruby... and Magical Sapphire?" Mash repeated, with Romani's head hurting from the overload of magical girls. He was going to need to see some Magi Mari.
