"How is her situation?" Amane asked Himeko, who was holding a pad and looking at Theresa.
"She hasn't regained consciousness since the Herrscher attack wounded her," Himeko answered with a sigh.
"I see," Amane replied, starting to think of ways to help Theresa.
"Bronya knows a way to help, Amane-Onii-Sama," Bronya said as she arrived at the bay with Kiana and Mei.
"Is Aunt Theresa alright?" Kiana asked Amane, panicking.
"Muffle her down, Amane-Onii-Sama. Idiotka is affecting the patient's comfort," Bronya suggested, handing Amane a towel.
Kiana looked intently at Bronya, feeling provoked. "What are you saying, pipsqueak?" she asked, leaning her forehead into Bronya's.
Chisato arrived and imitated Kiana's gangster pose, leaning her forehead into Kiana as well. "Are you bullying our Bronya, kid?" she asked playfully.
"Stop that, you two," Himeko said, hitting them with her tablet and giving them a sermon.
"I'm sorry," the two apologized, with tears in their eyes.
"Bronya's, diagnosis suggested that the principal wouldn't wake up anytime soon," she said as she looked at Theresa's picture on the tablet. "It is suspected that the cause is the stigma on her back."
"Stigma?" Everyone tilted their heads as they didn't know what the stigma was.
"Stigmatas are neither natural nor artificial. They provide the stigma user with resistance against Houkai energy, allowing them to fight zombies and Houkai beasts without getting infected by the source."
"However, Valkyries without natural Honkai resistance since birth are forced to have artificial transplants to protect them from the Honkai, but side effects can occur from the artificially created stigma," Bronya explained, preparing some sort of device.
"The Bronya detected abnormal spikes of data flow volume from the stigma within Principal Theresa's back," Bronya said as she showed them a three-tomoe mark behind Theresa.
"Such high volumes can interfere with the principal's physiological and mental functions," Bronya explained.
"Oh my God! I have never heard this before," Kiana shouted as she panicked and shouted around the place.
"Muffle her, Amane-Onii-Sama, Mei-Onee-Sama," Bronya asked, annoyed by Kiana's voice.
"I see, Metis, any suggestions?" Amane asked his skills.
"Inspecting individual 'Theresa Apocalypse'... Complete."
"Transferring the Stigma into the Imaginary Tree... Failed."
"Finding another solution... Complete."
"Sacrificing World number 90015624569... Complete."
"The Stigma was successfully moved. It is suggested to enter inside the Stigma as an Herrscher is inside it," Metis answered, presenting him with a thousand options, from directly killing the Herrscher with the help of Prometheus and Metatron to personally dealing with it.
"I would go there," Amane answered, as Metis only transferred the stigma's space and didn't sever the connection to Theresa.
"I'm going to Theresa's Stigma space," Amane said to everyone as the Imaginary Tree materialized, and its roots formed a circle, creating a portal for him to enter.
"I'll go with you," Kiana volunteered as she jumped into the portal after Amane.
Although the others were worried, they still put their trust in Amane and waited for him to come back, choosing not to follow him.
Chisato, Gu Yuena, and Amou didn't follow because leaving would make the entire Saint Freya organization vulnerable to attacks from other organizations.
______________________
Arriving in a small village with a bunch of burning buildings, the whole place was destroyed and everything was in chaos.
"Did we arrive at a time when the nine-tailed fox attacked Konoha or something?" Amane said as he looked around the place.
"Wait, did we go to the Naruto world?" Kiana asked with her eyes sparkling.
"I'm just kidding," Amane answered with a wry smile. "Let's search for Theresa."
Kiana nodded her head, and the two of them heard a huge explosion coming from somewhere nearby. They saw a massive fox fighting Theresa, who was protecting a little girl with pink hair.
As the fox's claw neared to wound Theresa, Amane suddenly appeared and shielded her using his body, surprising her.
"AMANE!" Theresa shouted as she hugged his body and helped him stand up.
"Die, you vile fox!" Kiana exclaimed as she threw a void spear at the fox, wounding it in the stomach.
"How dare you!" The angry voice of the fox was heard while writhing in pain. "You're nothing but a vile human."
"And you're nothing but a dog," Kiana taunted as the fox got angrier. "Die!" Kiana threw a spear and killed the fox on the spot.
"How is this possible?" The fox muttered as it turned into white particles of light and showed Amane and the others her past memories.
"This is cruel," Amane said as they watched the pink-haired girl and other girls tied up in a tree, being tortured, and eventually killed just to become offerings for a single drop of rain.
Kiana was shocked to see this happening, covering her mouth in disbelief. She felt bad when she realized that the fox she killed was the same girl who suffered such torture and death.
Theresa clenched her fist in anger and frustration, looking at the girl lying on her lap.
"Prometheus, do it," Amane commanded, feeling that they needed to go back to the start, where everything began.
"Examination complete... Rewinding time as per the master's command," Prometheus said as Amane and the others were sent back inside a house where a little girl with pink hair was lying and coughing.
"Are you okay?" Theresa asked, looking worriedly at the little girl.
"Don't worry, it's natural because I have a weak body," the girl replied. Suddenly, Amane held a beating heart in his hand, attracting everyone's attention, while Kiana glared at him.
"You may have many questions, but this is a gift from me for being a good girl," Amane said as the heart turned into particles and entered the little girl's body.
"Onii-san, Onee-san, what's happening to my body?" the girl asked, panicking as she felt something changing in her body, making her feel healthier.
"Calm down," Amane said as he patted her head.
The girl finally calmed down and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth that was spreading through her body.
"How do you feel?" Amane asked.
"I feel... energetic? No, I feel healthier than before. Maybe I can use a katana now, like my big sister," she said as she stood up from her futon, clenching her fist and running around the place, making everyone smile. "But, Onii-San, Onee-San, who are you?"
"I'm Fujimiya Amane, and this is my wife, Kiana Kaslana," Amane said, introducing Kiana, who proudly smiled as being introduced as his wife. "And this is Theresa Apocalypse."
"Are you okay now? But how did you do that, Amane?" Theresa asked, getting confused about what he did.
"It's magic," Amane said as he clapped his hands and a rainbow appeared.
"_" Theresa looked at Amane with a speechless face, and the pink-haired girl and Kiana clapped their hands, enjoying the sight of the rainbow.
"Wow, Onii-san, are you a god?" she asked with her eyes sparkling.
"No, but what's your name, cutie?" Amane asked, looking at the pink-haired girl.
"AH, I'm Yae Rin," Rin said as she introduced herself.
"I'm Home, Rin, do we have visitors?" a voice of a girl said from the entrance of the house.
Rin's eyes brightened up, and she ran excitedly towards the entrance, tackling her sister with joy.
"Rin, don't move recklessly," the girl said worriedly, expressing concern for Rin's well-being.
"Onee-san, guess what," Rin asked, and her big sister tilted her head curiously.
"I'm cured now," Rin said as she ran around without getting exhausted. In fact, she seemed to be getting faster at a visible rate.
"H-How?" Her sister asked, tears forming in her eyes as she covered her mouth in astonishment.
"Hehe, the Onii-san and Onee-san over there cured me," Rin said, pointing at the group of three people.
"Amane, Thank you for helping them." Theresa voiced out her voice while tearing up.
