Volume 1 — Chapter 7: The Power Stone — Red (Part 2) — The Legend of the Power Stones

The Mystery of the First Power Stone

After the incredible events at school, Airi Mizuhara and Rina Tachibana couldn't stop thinking about the Red Power Stone.

Until recently, it had been nothing more than a mystery mentioned in an ancient legend. The girls knew that the Power Stones possessed extraordinary abilities, but they had never imagined just how immense their power could be.

Now, everything had changed.

They had witnessed with their own eyes how a single stone had transformed their familiar school into an enormous labyrinth. Ordinary corridors stretched endlessly, doors changed their positions, and staircases led to completely unfamiliar places. The space around them had stopped obeying the laws they had always taken for granted.

And all of it had happened because of one Red Power Stone.

If a single stone possessed such incredible power, what were the others capable of?

And what would happen if all the Power Stones fell into the hands of one person?

These questions wouldn't leave Airi's mind.

After the danger had passed, the girls decided to learn as much as they could about the stone they had found and the mysterious enemy who was searching for it. They had already encountered his minions and understood that their enemy wouldn't hesitate to use dangerous creatures to achieve his goals.

However, they had never met the person behind the attacks face-to-face.

They knew only his name: Reiji Kurogane.

Even that wasn't enough to understand who he really was, why he wanted the Power Stones, or what he intended to do with them.

Airi sat beside Rina, thoughtfully examining her Miracle Phone.

"Rina," she finally said, breaking the silence. "Why do you think that person wants the Power Stones so badly?"

Rina turned away from her device and looked at her friend.

"We don't know exactly what he's trying to accomplish yet. But if he's sending Shadow Beasts after the stones, they must be extremely important to him."

"I understand that. But he must know how dangerous they are! The Red Power Stone nearly turned our school into a place nobody could escape from."

Airi frowned as she remembered the endless corridors and the walls that had moved right before her eyes.

"What would have happened if we hadn't found it in time? What would have happened to all the students?"

Rina thought for a few seconds.

"Perhaps the labyrinth would have continued changing. We don't know how long the stone's power could have lasted or where its limits were."

"Exactly!" Airi clenched her hands. "That's why I want to understand why Reiji wants these stones."

"Then we should start with what we already know."

Rina glanced at the Book of Legends, which contained information about the Power Stones.

"If we want answers, we need to study it carefully. Perhaps the information we're looking for is right here in front of us."

Airi immediately brightened.

"Then let's read!"

She moved closer to the book, ready to listen carefully. This time, she didn't just want to discover another amazing story. She wanted to understand what they might face in the future.

Rina carefully opened the book.

The old pages rustled softly as she turned them one by one. Ancient words covered the yellowed paper, and between the lines were illustrations of stars, glowing stones, and unfamiliar warriors.

Some of the symbols looked so old that they were difficult to decipher. However, as the girls concentrated on the text, they began discovering more and more information about the mysterious artifacts.

"Let's see what it says," Rina murmured.

She began reading.

Before long, they discovered a story far more frightening than either of them had expected.

The World Destroyed by the Power Stones

Rina slowly read the first lines.

"In ancient times, the world faced a terrible catastrophe. The cause was the Power Stones..."

Airi's smile disappeared.

"A catastrophe?"

Rina continued reading.

According to the ancient book, the Power Stones had existed long before the present world took its familiar shape. Even those who had recorded the legend didn't know their true origins. However, one thing was certain: each stone contained power capable of changing the world around it.

Some could influence space. Others might possess completely different abilities. But the Power Stones became truly dangerous when someone attempted to use them without understanding the consequences.

Over time, knowledge of the stones spread among those who desired power.

People began searching for them, hoping to obtain strength greater than anything they had ever possessed.

Everyone wanted to become stronger than the others.

Everyone wanted to claim power capable of changing their destiny.

But not everyone considered the price such a desire might demand.

Rina paused for a moment before reading the next passage.

The book stated that the power of the Power Stones had once led to the destruction of the world.

Airi's eyes widened.

"Wait! Are you saying the world was already destroyed once because of these stones?!"

"That's exactly what it says here," Rina replied.

She looked at the page again, hoping to find additional information.

"But it doesn't explain precisely how it happened.

The book only says that the Power Stones caused a great catastrophe."

Airi frowned.

"Does that mean someone gathered them all together?"

"Possibly. But we can't be certain. There aren't enough details."

Airi fell silent, thinking.

The Red Power Stone no longer seemed like an unusual object they had managed to find and protect. It was part of something much older and more dangerous.

She remembered how the stone had floated in the center of the enormous chamber, surrounded by red energy.

Even after they had found it, it continued resisting, as though it didn't want to leave the place where it had been resting.

And then the entire school had begun to shake.

If they hadn't managed to work together and take the stone, the consequences could have been unpredictable.

"So these stones really can destroy an entire world..." Airi whispered.

Rina nodded.

"According to the legend, yes."

Airi thought for a moment.

"Then why were they created in the first place? Didn't anyone realize how dangerous they were?"

Rina didn't answer immediately.

"We don't know whether the Power Stones were deliberately created or came into existence for another reason.

The book doesn't give us a definite answer. But perhaps the problem isn't just the stones themselves. It may also depend on how they're used."

Airi looked at her friend.

"Does that mean they don't necessarily have to destroy the world?"

"Exactly. At least, the following passage suggests that their power can serve another purpose."

Rina turned the page.

On the next spread was an illustration of several glowing stones. Each one had a different color, and thin beams of light connected them in a single pattern.

Beneath the drawing was an inscription describing the power that could be obtained by gathering the Power Stones together.

When the stones were combined, their power increased tremendously. 

What might affect only a particular part of the world individually could become an energy capable of changing the fate of all existence when united.

But this power had no single purpose.

It could bring about complete destruction.

Or it could become a means of salvation.

Airi remained silent for a while.

"So the Power Stones can either destroy the world or save it?"

"Yes," Rina answered. "It all depends on who possesses them and how they use their power."

Airi looked down at the book, her expression growing serious.

"Then we can't let Reiji collect them all!"

Determination filled her voice.

She no longer thought of the stones as unusual objects that might grant them new abilities. Now she understood that something far more important was at stake.

If the Power Stones really could destroy the world, they couldn't allow such power to fall into the hands of someone whose intentions remained unknown.

Rina closed the book for a few seconds, considering what they had read.

"We need to find out exactly what he intends to do with the stones."

"But how? We don't even know where he is!"

"All we have right now is the information in this legend. That's why we need to keep searching for answers."

Airi looked back at the book.

"Then let's see what else it says."

Rina opened the ancient volume again.

On the next page, the girls discovered words that would change their understanding of the Power Stones even further.

It told the story of two Star Warriors.

And the birth of the legendary Warrior of Two Stars.

The Birth of the Warrior of Two Stars

Rina carefully examined the heading on the new page.

"The Legend of the Warrior of Two Stars," she read aloud.

Airi immediately leaned closer.

"The Warrior of Two Stars? Who is that?"

"It seems to be one of the most important parts of the legend."

Rina continued reading.

In ancient times, when the world was threatened, two Star Warriors appeared. Each possessed her own power, her own will, and her own personality.

They were different from each other in almost every way.

Their views of the world didn't match. Their methods of acting were different. Something one considered right might be viewed in an entirely different way by the other.

One warrior might rely on courage and determination, preferring to act immediately whenever danger appeared.

The other might first try to understand the situation, carefully consider the circumstances, and only then choose the most suitable course of action.

They weren't alike.

And that was precisely what made their partnership special.

Together, they faced a force that couldn't be overcome alone. Before them stood a threat capable of swallowing everything they wanted to protect.

At first, their differences made it difficult for them to work together. They struggled to understand each other, and one warrior's decisions didn't always satisfy the other.

But gradually, they began to realize something they hadn't noticed before.

Their differences didn't have to become a source of conflict.

On the contrary, those differences could become their greatest advantage.

What one warrior lacked, the other could provide. Where one noticed danger, the other might discover an opportunity for victory. Their abilities didn't cancel each other out. They complemented one another.

They began to trust each other.

They learned to listen to their partner, accept her decisions, and act together even when the situation seemed hopeless.

Then, one day, something extraordinary happened.

Their hearts began to beat in unison.

The power of the two Star Warriors combined, creating an energy that surpassed their individual abilities.

Their light no longer appeared to be two separate streams. Instead, it became a single, radiant brilliance.

Thus, the legend of the Warrior of Two Stars was born.

A warrior who united the power of two stars.

A warrior who was stronger than either of the two Star Warriors alone.

A warrior whose true power emerged through trust, unity, and harmony between two hearts.

Rina finished reading the passage.

For a moment, the girls remained silent.

Airi was the first to speak.

"Two warriors... who became the Warrior of Two Stars?"

"That's what the legend says," Rina replied. "When their hearts began beating in unison, they were able to combine their powers."

Airi looked down at her hands.

She remembered their battle against the Minotaur.

When the Shadow Beast attacked the school, Airi and Rina couldn't afford to act separately. They had to protect the students, dodge the monster's attacks, and find a way to stop it.

Each of them possessed her own abilities.

But what ultimately mattered was that they fought together.

When Airi and Rina combined their powers, their pink and blue energy merged into a single stream. Their joint attack proved powerful enough to defeat the Minotaur.

Back then, they hadn't known that an ancient legend described something similar.

"Rina," Airi said quietly. "What if this story is connected to us?"

Rina raised her eyes.

"Why do you think that?"

"Remember our battle against the Minotaur? We become much stronger when we fight together, too."

Rina considered her words.

She couldn't deny the similarities. Their Miracle Phones responded to both girls, and when they transformed, their powers combined in a special way.

However, similarities alone weren't enough to reach a definite conclusion.

"It's possible," she answered cautiously. "But we need to learn more before we can say the legend is actually about us."

Airi nodded.

"Yes, of course. It's just... I don't think this can be a coincidence."

She looked at the page again.

In the center of the illustration, two stars shone side by side. Their rays crossed, forming a single glowing symbol.

For some reason, the image seemed familiar to Airi.

She couldn't explain why, but it stirred a strange feeling within her, as though the words of the ancient book were touching something important that she couldn't yet understand.

Meanwhile, Rina continued studying the text.

"It says the Warrior of Two Stars wasn't simply a powerful fighter. His strength came from the unity of the two warriors."

"Then it's not just about magic?" Airi asked.

"Apparently not. If everything depended on strength alone, they wouldn't have needed to learn to trust each other."

Airi smiled.

"Then we're already good at something!"

Rina looked at her in mild surprise.

"What exactly?"

"Trusting each other! We've already fought together more than once."

"That's true," Rina agreed. "But we still have a lot to learn."

"And we'll learn!"

Airi spoke with such confidence that Rina couldn't help smiling back.

They still didn't know how far their adventure would take them. They didn't know what challenges awaited them or how many dangers would appear along the way.

But now they had a new clue.

Perhaps the story of the Warrior of Two Stars wasn't merely an ancient fairy tale.

Perhaps it held the key to understanding their own powers.

And the more the girls read, the more they became convinced that the legend might be far more important than it had first appeared.

However, one question remained.

Why was their enemy so determined to find the Power Stones?

And what did he intend to do once he gathered them all?

Two Completely Different Warriors

Rina turned the page and continued reading the description of the two Star Warriors.

The book didn't mention their names. It didn't explain where they had come from or how they had obtained their abilities. Even the details of their first meeting remained unknown.

But the legend described their differences in detail.

One warrior possessed extraordinary courage. She hated backing down in the face of danger and was always ready to help those who needed protection.

Sometimes she acted before considering the consequences, but her determination helped her overcome obstacles that might have stopped others in their tracks.

The second warrior was more cautious. She preferred to understand a situation before taking action. Her calmness allowed her to notice details that could easily be overlooked in the heat of battle.

At first, working together wasn't easy.

One believed that hesitation could lead to disaster. The other believed that rushing into action might create even greater problems.

They argued, disagreed, and sometimes struggled to understand why her partner chose a particular course of action.

But gradually, each began to recognize the other's strengths.

The first warrior's courage helped them move forward even when hope seemed almost lost.

The second warrior's careful thinking allowed them to avoid unnecessary mistakes and find solutions when brute force was useless.

They realized they didn't have to be alike to become true partners.

They didn't need to think exactly the same way.

They needed to learn to listen to each other.

Their trust grew with every challenge. Whenever one found herself in danger, the other came to her aid without hesitation. Whenever one lost confidence, the other helped her believe in herself again.

Their hearts gradually learned to beat in unison.

That unity allowed them to unleash the true power of the two stars.

Airi listened carefully before slowly turning toward Rina.

"You know, I think we're a little like them, too."

Rina raised an eyebrow.

"A little?"

"Well..." Airi thought for a moment. "All right, maybe quite a lot!"

Rina laughed softly.

"And what similarities do we have?"

Airi raised a finger.

"I like to act quickly, while you always think everything through first."

"That is certainly true."

"Sometimes you spend too long thinking, and sometimes I rush ahead too quickly. But when we fight together, those differences help us find the right solution!"

Rina considered her words for a moment.

"Perhaps you're right. During the battle against the Minotaur, we couldn't win by simply using our individual powers separately. We had to coordinate our actions and rely on each other."

"Exactly!"

Airi smiled proudly.

"So our differences make us stronger!"

"When we know how to use them properly," Rina clarified.

"And that, too!"

The girls looked back at the book.

The legend reminded them that strength wasn't always measured by how powerful a single attack could be. Sometimes, the ability to work together, support a partner, and maintain trust during the most difficult moments mattered far more.

Airi and Rina were only beginning their journey as Miracle Hearts. They didn't know all the abilities their Miracle Phones possessed, and they still didn't fully understand the magic that allowed them to transform into warriors.

But they had already experienced several dangerous events.

They had encountered Shadow Beasts.

They had uncovered the mystery of the Red Power Stone.

They had fought the Minotaur together and managed to protect the students.

Each of these trials had taught them something new.

Now they understood that their partnership might be more important than they had ever imagined.

And perhaps that was why the ancient legend told the story not of one great warrior, but of two stars that became a single whole.

Yet another question remained.

Why was the enemy searching so relentlessly for the Power Stones?

And what did he intend to do once he gathered them together?

The Enemy Who Seeks the Power Stones

Rina bent over the book again.

After reading about the two Star Warriors, the legend seemed far more important than before. But the girls hadn't forgotten what was happening in the present.

Somewhere out there was an enemy who wanted to obtain the Power Stones.

And that enemy had already begun to act.

Airi remembered the Shadow Beasts they had encountered. Each time one of those creatures appeared, the girls had to fight to protect those around them. They didn't know how many more monsters might be under Reiji Kurogane's control.

"Rina," Airi said, "the book says the Power Stones once destroyed the world. That means our enemy might know about this story, too."

"Most likely," Rina replied. "If he's searching for the stones, he must understand how powerful they are."

"But then why does he want to collect them? He must know what could happen!"

Rina studied the text carefully.

"Perhaps he believes he can control their power. Or perhaps he needs that power to achieve some personal goal. But for now, those are only possibilities."

Airi frowned.

She didn't like the thought of someone deliberately gathering objects capable of bringing about a catastrophe. Especially when that person had already sent dangerous creatures to attack them.

"We can't let him obtain the remaining stones," she said firmly.

"I agree. But we need to be careful. We still haven't met him in person, and we know almost nothing about him."

Airi nodded.

So far, their opponents had been Reiji's minions. They had seen Shadow Beasts, fought them, and managed to win. Yet none of those victories had brought them any closer to understanding the true intentions of the person behind the attacks.

They didn't even know how powerful he was.

Perhaps his abilities surpassed those of the Shadow Beasts. Perhaps he had other ways of achieving his goals. Or perhaps he needed the Power Stones for something the girls couldn't even begin to imagine.

But the book offered no answers.

It spoke of an ancient catastrophe, two Star Warriors, and a power that could either save or destroy the world. However, it revealed nothing definite about their current enemy.

"Then we'll have to discover everything little by little," Rina said.

"Then we'll keep searching!" Airi answered determinedly. "We've already found the first Power Stone. If the others are somewhere in the world, we have to find them before Reiji does!"

Rina looked at her friend.

"We need to remember that every stone may possess its own power. We can't assume they'll all work in the same way."

"I remember! The Red Power Stone changed space. The others might be even more amazing."

"Exactly. That's why we need to keep studying the legend."

Airi turned her attention to the book again.

She understood that many challenges awaited them. But the thought that other Power Stones might be hidden somewhere in the world filled her not only with worry but also with a desire to act.

If these stones could destroy the world, they needed to discover how to prevent such a disaster.

And if their power could truly save the world, they needed to learn how that might be possible.

Either way, they couldn't stand aside.

Now Airi and Rina shared a common goal.

They would protect the Power Stones from their enemy.

And they would uncover the mystery of the ancient legend.

The Prophecy of the Two Star Warriors

Rina turned another page.

At the bottom of the spread was a passage that differed from the rest of the text. The words had been written with particular care, as though the person who recorded them wanted to preserve every line for future generations.

Beside the passage was an illustration of two stars.

One shone with a pinkish light.

The other glowed blue.

Their rays crossed in the center, forming a brilliant glow resembling a single heart.

"There's something else here," Rina said.

Airi immediately looked at the page.

"Is this part of the legend, too?"

"It seems so. But the text is different from the earlier passages."

Rina carefully examined the ancient symbols without touching the inscription itself.

"I think it's a prophecy."

"A prophecy?" Airi repeated.

Rina began reading aloud.

The book stated that two Star Warriors would one day be born into the world. They would be different from one another, possess distinct personalities, and wield the abilities of their respective stars.

At first, their paths might appear to be separate.

Their decisions might conflict, and their hearts might beat to different rhythms.

But when the time of a great trial arrived, the two warriors would have to learn to understand each other and unite their powers.

Then something would happen that neither could achieve alone.

They would form a single, unified warrior embodying the power of both stars.

It would be more than an alliance between two fighters.

It would be a unified force born from their mutual trust, determination, and harmony.

The Warrior of Two Stars.

Rina finished reading.

For several moments, the girls remained silent.

Airi stared at the illustration of the two stars without saying a word.

"Two Star Warriors..." she finally whispered. "And they're supposed to become one warrior."

"That's exactly what the prophecy says," Rina confirmed.

Airi slowly turned toward her friend.

"Rina, we received our Miracle Phones because of two mysterious stars, too."

Rina froze.

She had already been thinking about that possibility.

From the very beginning of their adventure, the unusual devices had been connected to mysterious stars. Their Miracle Phones allowed them to transform into Cure Pink Heart and Cure Blue Heart. Thanks to those devices, the girls could use powers they had never even known existed.

Now the ancient book spoke of two Star Warriors who were destined to unite their powers and become a single warrior.

The similarities seemed too significant to dismiss as a coincidence.

"Yes," Rina said slowly. "There might really be a connection."

Airi leaned closer to the book.

"Then could the prophecy be talking about us?"

"Possibly. But we don't know that for certain yet."

Rina reread the passage.

The prophecy mentioned no names. It offered no precise descriptions of the warriors' appearances. It didn't say exactly when they would appear or what events would lead to the fulfillment of the prediction.

However, one thing was clear: the two Star Warriors would have to unite their powers in the face of a great threat.

Their destiny was connected to more than their own lives.

It was connected to the fate of the entire world.

Airi fell silent, thinking.

She had never considered herself particularly special. Until recently, she had been more concerned with ordinary school lessons, friends, and everyday worries. Even after receiving her Miracle Phone, she had struggled to imagine how dramatically her life would change.

Now she was looking at an ancient book describing a prophecy that strangely resembled her own story.

"If this really is about us," Airi said, "then we have to keep fighting together."

Rina looked at her.

"Regardless of what the prophecy means, we've already learned one thing: our powers work better when we act together."

"Then we'll succeed!"

Airi said it confidently, but there was excitement and uncertainty in her voice, too.

She didn't know what it meant to become the Warrior of Two Stars. She couldn't understand how two separate warriors could unite into one or what power such a transformation might hold.

But she wanted to discover the truth.

And if the prophecy really was connected to them, she wanted to understand what they were supposed to do.

Rina didn't close the book immediately.

She continued looking at the illustration of the two stars, trying to find another clue.

"It says the two warriors will embody the power of both stars," she said. "That means their unity must have a special significance."

"Do you think our abilities could become even stronger?"

"Possibly. But we don't know how that would happen yet."

Airi smiled.

"Well, then we'll have to find out!"

Rina shook her head slightly, though she smiled as well.

"The important thing is not to jump to conclusions too quickly."

"I'll try!"

The girls looked at the pages again.

Before them lay a story that had begun long before either of them was born. A story about the Power Stones, a world that had suffered destruction, and two warriors whose hearts had learned to beat in unison.

And now, perhaps, Airi and Rina would discover how that ancient legend was meant to end.

The Light of the Stars Shall Save the World

At the very end of the passage were the final lines of the prophecy.

They were separated from the rest of the text, as though the author wanted to emphasize their special significance.

Rina slowly read the inscription.

"When the two stars unite their hearts, a power capable of changing the fate of the world shall be born. And when darkness seeks to consume all existence, the light of the stars shall show the way to salvation."

Airi held her breath.

Rina continued with the final words.

"The light of the stars shall save the world."

After that, the passage ended.

For several seconds, the girls remained silent.

The words sounded simple, but they carried a meaning neither of them could fully understand yet.

The light of the stars shall save the world.

Perhaps it was a promise.

Perhaps it was a warning.

Or perhaps it was a sign of something that would happen in the future.

But now Airi and Rina knew that the ancient legend wasn't merely a story about catastrophe. It also spoke of the possibility of salvation.

The Power Stones could destroy the world if their power was used incorrectly. Yet that same power might become part of the solution if someone could direct it toward protecting all living things.

And at the center of this story stood two Star Warriors.

"A light that will save the world..." Airi repeated quietly.

She looked at Rina.

"What do you think it means?"

Rina considered the question for a while.

"I can't say for certain. But the prophecy seems to connect the world's salvation with the unity of the two warriors."

"Then we have to stay together."

"Yes. At least, we've already seen how much that helps us."

Airi remembered their first battle together and how they had stood side by side in the face of danger. Then she pictured the Minotaur, the enormous Shadow Beast that had threatened the students.

Back then, they hadn't known whether they could win.

But they hadn't retreated.

They had trusted each other, combined their powers, and managed to stop the monster.

Now the girls understood that their victory might not have been a simple coincidence. Perhaps their ability to fight together had a much deeper meaning.

However, they couldn't allow themselves to believe that they already knew all the answers.

Too many mysteries remained.

They didn't know how many Power Stones existed.

They didn't know what abilities the other stones concealed.

They didn't know what Reiji Kurogane truly wanted or why he had decided to gather these dangerous artifacts.

And most importantly, they still didn't understand what it meant to become the Warrior of Two Stars.

But one thing had become perfectly clear.

They couldn't allow darkness to seize a power capable of changing the fate of the world.

Airi held out her hand to Rina.

"Whatever happens next, we'll fight together, right?"

Rina looked at the outstretched hand and took it.

"Of course. We're partners."

Airi smiled.

"Then we'll definitely discover the truth!"

Rina nodded.

"But first, we need to keep studying the Power Stones and figure out how to protect them from Reiji."

"And we will!"

The girls looked at the ancient book one last time.

The illustration of the two stars still shone from the page, their light joining in the center to form a single pattern.

Airi and Rina couldn't know whether the prophecy was truly about them. But now they understood why their meeting and the appearance of the Miracle Phones might be part of something much greater.

Their adventure was connected to an ancient history, the mysteries of the Power Stones, and the fate of the world.

And the more they learned, the clearer it became that challenges lay ahead that they couldn't prepare for in a single day.

A New Path for Miracle Hearts

When they finished reading, Airi continued thinking about everything she had learned.

She thought about the ancient world that had been destroyed because of the Power Stones. She thought about the two warriors who had managed to unite their powers and the prophecy that promised salvation through the light of two stars.

It all seemed unbelievable.

But the Red Power Stone had already proved that the ancient legends weren't just stories.

Its power was real.

It really could change space.

And now it was safely stored inside the Box of Power Stones in their Miracle Phones.

Airi looked at her device.

"So this is only the beginning," she said.

Rina nodded.

"Yes. If we want to understand the entire legend, we still have a great deal to learn."

"Then we'll find the other Power Stones and make sure Reiji doesn't get them!"

"We'll have to be careful," Rina reminded her. "We don't know what dangers lie ahead."

Airi smiled.

"We'll handle them together."

Rina returned her smile.

They already knew that their powers complemented each other. Now the ancient legend had given them another reason to continue their journey side by side.

Perhaps one day they would discover the meaning of the prophecy about the Warrior of Two Stars.

Perhaps they would understand why the mysterious stars had chosen them to receive the Miracle Phones and what role those two stars played in their destiny.

But for now, there was only one thing they could do: move forward, learn to use their powers, and protect the world from those who wanted to misuse the Power Stones.

Reiji Kurogane remained their unknown enemy.

They had never met him personally, and they didn't know what plan he was preparing. Yet after reading the ancient book, his search for the stones no longer seemed like an ordinary hunt for rare artifacts.

The fate of the entire world might be at stake.

And Airi and Rina had no intention of backing down.

They were two different girls, with different personalities and their own ways of looking at the world.

But now they shared a common goal.

They were Miracle Hearts.

And their story was only beginning.

Somewhere ahead lay more Power Stones, more mysteries, and more challenges. Along with them came the answers to questions that remained unresolved.

Airi and Rina still didn't know when they would finally face Reiji Kurogane in person.

They didn't know what powers he possessed or how far he was willing to go to achieve his goal.

But they knew they could no longer ignore the danger.

And if the ancient prophecy truly was connected to them, they would have to discover how to fulfill it and prevent the great catastrophe from happening again.

The final words of the book remained in their minds:

"The light of the stars shall save the world."

The phrase continued to echo in their thoughts.

Although they didn't yet understand its full meaning, both girls felt that it would become an important part of their future.

New discoveries awaited them.

New battles.

And the mystery of the Warrior of Two Stars, which was only beginning to unfold.

To Be Continued...

End of Chapter 7.
