The woman looked at Kiana and made sure that she wasn't hurt after catching her from her fall, after that she put Kiana down.

Kiana steadied herself and stood straight and then said gratefully, "Oh~ Thanks for saving me, I nearly fell to my death."

The woman smiled and replied, "It's all right. When I suddenly saw you falling out of the sky from afar, it gave me a big scare too."

Kiana stared at the woman in front of her with her mouth slightly opened and thought honestly, 'She's so pretty…'

The woman had long white, single braided hair and ribbon-tied with a black bow and cerulean eyes.  She also wears a black and white nun outfit, that looks to be slightly torn, and a red ribbon around her neck. Her hands were tied with a metal handcuff connected with chains and she has several bruises on her right shoulder, left cheek, and left wrist.

The girls head suddenly turned around and spoke to Kiana without moving her eyes.

"Oh. Here come the people who are here to pick me up. Young miss, I suggest that you quickly leave."

In front of them, several people wearing black robes and donning bird masks walked towards the white-haired woman, the person at the front then asked the woman.

"Miss Kallen, why did you want to escape?"

The woman called Kallen then replied unhurriedly, "Master Arthur, I never had the intention of escaping. I just saw this girl falling out of the sky, and ran over here to save her, nothing more."

After hearing Kallen's claims, the people wearing bird masks behind the man called Arthur pointed at Kallen angrily.

"Nonsense! Nothing that you, a traitor to the organization, could say is credible."

"Don't forget, it was you who stole the organization's crystal half a year ago."

Hearing their criticism, the person named Arthur raised his hands to silence them, seeing this, they quickly shut up and hang their head down.

Arthur then said to Kallen," Miss Kallen, if you are willing to repent. I could still plead to the Grandmaster on your behalf."

Kallen just shook her head and spoke calmly, "It's useless, Father had already made his decision. And… the current me, has already lost the reason to live quite a while ago."

(E?D: The "Father" here is not the one the parent, but rather the Father which is the head priest in the church."

Hearing Kallen's protest, Arthur pulled on the  chain that was binding the handcuffs on Kallen's hands, "What the hell are you babbling about! Come with me!"

*BAMM!*

"Ugh!"

Arthur, who had just pulled Kallen's chains, suddenly received a kick in the chest, courtesy of Kiana, sending him flying towards his companions, fortunately, or not, the two people behind swiftly caught him.

"What do you think you're doing to my savior(Who's also a pretty lady)!?"

She then posed Kallen and has a confident smile plastered on her face, "I might look cute, but when it comes to fighting, I am very powerful!"

One of the robed men looked at Kiana before turning into a blurry shadow and appearing right behind Kiana.

"Careful! Behind you!" Kallen warned.

Not giving Kiana a chance to react, the man in the robe hit Kiana's nape from behind, making her fall down unconscious.

Nighttime (VR Simulation)

"Ouch... That... Really hurt…"

Kiana opened her eyes slowly, she was currently lying on the ground with only a thin cloth below her, the moonlight passed thought in between the metal windows above that showed that she is currently in a dungeon prison, Kiana also noticed that her hands were now tied with a rope.

Suddenly, Kallen's voice sounded in front of her.

"You really are impulsive. Master Arthur is my martial arts teacher; he is not someone you could defeat."

Hearing that, Kiana perked up and raised her head to the direction of the voice, there she saw Kallen, also being held captive inside this prison with her, the only difference is that Kallen's feet were not tied, whereas her does.

Kallen then spoke again.

"But don't worry, I have already explained Master Arthur that you and I have only just met. You may leave this place tomorrow."

Hearing that, Kiana felt relieved and retorted, "I just got careless!", but then, as if realizing something, she said in a worried tone, "Wait, what about you then?"

"Hmm, I would have to stay here for a while longer."

Kiana became silent for a moment. She then said to Kallen, "Oh right, I still haven't gotten your name. I'm Kiana"

"I am Kallen, cute little missy."

"Miss Kallen, why would you be locked up in here?" Kiana asked.

"That's because I've stolen other people's property."

"Stealing? A kind person such as yourself would never do such a thing! There must be some kind of mistake!" Kiana said in surprise after hearing her answer.

Kallen the said seriously, "No, I've actually done it…"

Hearing Kallen's serious answer, Kiana seemed to think of something and spoke enthusiastically, "I get it, it must be stealing from the rich to give to the poor~ Just like Robin Hood~"

Kallen denied Kiana's words, "If you want to know... I didn't do that. The thing I stole was a very powerful artifact used by bad people for their own benefit."

"A powerful artifact?"

Kallen didn't say anything else after saying that, she just closed her eyes and said "We've been talking for too long, its time for you to rest, Kiana."

Hearing Kallen's words, Kiana could only obey and lay on the thin cloth and closed her eyes to sleep.

In morning.

In front of the dungeon prison, the guard on duty suddenly shouted to wake up Kiana, "Kiana! Your father is here to bail you out of prison!"

Kiana woke up got up immediately after hearing the guard shout, but still half-asleep.

"Hmm? Wait a minute, Father?"

The guard then opened the prison door and shouted at Kiana.

"Alright, get out of there! I don't want to see you anymore!"

Kiana didn't leave immediately, she looked at Kallen who was still inside.

"Miss Kallen, would you be-"

Kallen cut her off and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Don't keep your loved ones waiting."

"Quit babbling! Move it!" The guard said as he pushed Kiana forward.

A familiar man then walked towards them and said to the guard.

"Ehem, I'm sorry, sir. My daughter has caused trouble for you."

After saying that, the man turned his gaze to Kiana with a worried expression.

"Kiana, my daughter. Where have you been? You made your father worry"

Kiana looked at the man in front of her with a deadpan stare.

This man is of course Kouro, he is currently disguised as Kiana's father, and it made it more believable considering his current appearance, which dumbfounded Kiana.

Kouro is currently wearing a medieval suit with a black fedora hat, his pants and shoes are black, coupled with the incredibly real fake mustache and black sunglasses that Kouro has, made him look more like a famous mafia boss, even Kiana took a while to recognize Kouro.

Kouro winked at Kiana and continued, "Kiana, come out. Your sister misses you so much."

Kiana just nodded stiffly and walked out to meet her 'sister'.

Of course the so-called sister is Bronya who is also in disguise.

Kiana looked at Bronya who was wearing a medieval dress while carrying an umbrella, compared to Kouro who was total, Bronya only changed her clothes, but she ignored all that and then asked Bronya.

"Bronya, this program is a lot more dangerous than you said! I nearly fell to my death yesterday~ They also have this Arthur guy; he is an invincible boss. And why is it that I can still touch other objects in this era; didn't you say it was all virtual?"

Bronya answered all of Kiana's questions in calmly.

"This is a hidden section in the file system, only accessible to those from the Kaslana family. It took Bronya a lot of effort to even hack in, Bronya had to use a lot of high-level programs and bugs just to access this file."

Kiana then took an apple from the fruit vendor, and said.

"That Miss Kallen- I would like to have known more about her… Oh, and I also have to study this VR Apple." Finishing her sentence, Kiana then took a bite of the apple.

Bronya turned to look at Kiana with a straight face, "Kallen Was it Kallen Kaslana? By the way, that VR Apple has no calories."

"She's a Kaslana!?" Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

Bronya stared at Kiana like she's looking at a fool., "She should be your ancestor, and this region should have been built for her."

After saying that Bronya then showed an interface that showed information data about Kallen Kaslana, "This is her information."

Kiana stared at the virtual interface without blinking.

[Kallen Kaslana born in 1453, as the eldest daughter of Francis, the 29th patriarch of the Kaslana Family. When she was 16, Kallen had already passed the test to become the captain of Schicksal's Anti-Honkai squad, the Valkyries.]

[Within Eight years, Kallen had been on the frontlines fighting against the Honkai, with over a thousand Honkai Beasts sealed by her alone. To commend her achievements, Schicksal has made for her a weapon that only she could use, "Oath of Judah".]

[In 1477, Kallen stole a Honkai Crystal Schicksal was researching. Feeling to the far east, she had fallen in love with 'Yae Sakura', an imitation of a Herrscher, a Pseudo-Herrscher, that was infected by the Honkai Crystal. On the same year, for reasons unknown, both the Pseudo-Herrscher and the Honkai Crystal had disappeared, and became a major hurdle in Schicksal's research.]

[Seriously wounded, Kallen was captured by Schicksal's intelligence squad, and brought back to the European headquarters. At the headquarters in front of the council…]

"At inquest, Kallen said: 'The girl who became a Herrscher is innocent, and I have fallen in love with that girl.' Was what Kallen proclaimed in front of the council, which made them think that she had gone mad."

"The council then decided that she was to be hung. Kallen was executed soon after."

Kiana spontaneously shouted while remembering Mei.

"Falling in love with a Herrscher? Herrschers are humans too. It's just that their hearts have been distorted by Honkai Energy, they are not monsters… Is it wrong to love a Herrscher!?"

"Yes, I also agree with what you said, Kiana." Kouro suddenly appeared and gave his opinion.

Kouro's appearance made both of them stare at him.

Kiana then said to him "Then Kouro how about we save her?"

Bronya heard Kiana's plans and reprimanded, "Save her? This is only a virtual world within data constructs, the real Kallen had already dies 583 years ago."

Kiana ignored Bronya's reprimand and shouted at her, "This is too much! No, we'll go save her! Bronya, tell me the time and place if the execution! I don't care even if this is a virtual world, I still can't let her die on my watch!"

Bronya just sighed when she heard Kiana's words.

"There's really no helping it… Bronya will need to properly plan. IN this world, we don't have weapons… Bronya just wants to play a game. Bronya will definitely play a game after this."

"Who said we don't have weapons?"

Kouro, who was once again ignored, said while lowering his glasses, he then took out a suitcase from his pocket and gave it to Bronya.

Since everything in this world is created by data, Bronya deduced something just by looking at the suitcase, and the suitcase Kouro gave her turns out to be filled with data of weapons ranging from a pistol, knives, blunt weapons and so on.

Bronya looked at Kouro flatly, but it could be seen in her eyes that she was surprised.

Kouro just adjusted his fedora and said coolly to Bronya.

"Hehehe... When you want to do something, you must be totally prepared for it, right?"

"What's in that suitcase Bronya?" Kiana asked.

"... Weapons."

Meanwhile in the dungeon, Mr. Arthur and his subordinates were seen, staring at Kallen who was in chains with a calm expression from afar.

"Is everything in place?"

"Everything is ready, Master Otto."

"Don't worry my dear Kallen, I won't let you die."

"I would not let you die, my dearest… Kallen."

Mr. Arthur, or now identified as Master Otto, stared at Kallen.

No one knows what his expression behind the bird mask.
