The group arrived at the river, away from the Yae Village.
"Didn't you cover their kitchen with ice? Why is there smoke coming from the Yae Village?" Theresa asked, noticing the smoke.
Amane looked at Kiana, who scratched her head and said, "HEHE, I used an inextinguishable flame."
"Why would you use such a weird flame to cook?" Theresa couldn't help but ask.
"I used to watch my dad use his judgment gun or something to fry pizza, so I thought of using a flame at a similar level," Kiana answered, avoiding looking at Theresa, who twitched her eyes, knowing Siegfried used Judgment Shamash to bake a pizza.
"Then where did you get the idea of using water to put out the fire?" Theresa asked, unable to contain her frustration with Kiana.
"I forgot that I used that flame," Kiana answered, scratching her head.
"I'm going to shove Oath Judah in your father's face once I meet him," Theresa said, her eyes turning menacing.
"May the gods have mercy to you father, for Aunt Theresa has none," Kiana prayed in the corner.
"A blood," Amane said, getting their attention as he pointed to the river where blood was flowing.
"Let me check it out to see if something is wrong," Amane said as he followed the trail of blood.
Suddenly, a Honkai beast jumped out of the water and pounced at Amane.
"Be careful," Sakura said, getting her katana ready and chasing after him. However, she stopped when he flicked it with his finger, turning it into ice, and kept following the blood trail. "Thanks for the warning, Sakura," Amane said as he continued ahead.
"Did you see that, Onee-san? It's really cool! The Honkai Beast jumped out, and then it turned into ice," Rin exclaimed, trying to mimic the motion with her hand.
Amane followed the trails with the others behind him.
Finally, Amane found the source of the blood and saw a nun in a river who had a similar face to Kiana and Theresa. "I might have found your ancestors, Kiana and Theresa," Amane said as he looked at the girls.
Theresa's expression was shocked upon seeing the familiar girl who had helped her before.
Amane immediately brought her out of the water, removed her clothes, and inspected her wounds. "She was healing slowly and only lost consciousness due to exhaustion," Amane said as he tended to her wounds.
Theresa was looking at the familiar black box and brought it next to Amane. "Amane, can you help me fight the Honkai beast sealed inside this thing?" she asked, looking at Amane with a firm expression.
"I wouldn't fight it," Amane answered, shocking Theresa.
"Why?" Theresa asked.
"We will go to the past and bring it back to the current era," Amane said, planning to leave the black box before PE RIN died at the hands of the soldiers. This brightened Theresa's expression.
"Do you really have the ability to do that?" a voice from the black box was heard by the others, making Sakura wary of it and Theresa shocked.
"How? Everything should have returned to the start," Theresa asked, noticing that the beast sealed within the box was less aggressive than in the past.
"I'm the Herrscher of Corruption. I left a part of myself within you and returned to my real body, which was sealed inside this black box," the HoR explained. "Now let me ask you again, do you really have the ability to return that far, using your ability to rewind time?" The HoR asked.
"I do," Amane answered as he unsealed the black box.
"Thank you," a girl who looked like Rin said.
Rin and Sakura were shocked to see someone who looked like Rin, complete with fox tails and ears.
"You can call me Higokumaru," she said, transforming into a little version of herself and sitting on Amane's shoulders.
"I must thank you too, Kaslana," Higokumaru said. "If it weren't for you, I would still be imprisoned by my hatred."
"I'm Theresa Apocalypse," Theresa introduced herself. "I'm not a Kaslana."
"No, you are. You have the genes of Vishnu within your veins and have the exact genes as Kallen over there," Higokumaru said, as she possessed Theresa's body in the past. "I almost harmed the exact look-alike of my sister if it weren't for you helping her."
"Onee-san, she looks like me," Rin said as she looked at her older sister.
"I'm also shocked, just like you, Rin," Sakura answered.
"If Aunt Theresa's genes are similar to Kallen's, does that mean she's Aunt Theresa's mother?" Kiana suddenly asked, and Amane also started thinking the same thing.
"Amane... When are you planning to put something on her?" Sakura asked, concerned because Kallen didn't have any clothes, and her whole body was on full display.
"Sorry, I forgot about that," Amane answered as he removed his clothes and covered Kallen.
"W-Wow," Kiana said as she touched Amane's body. "I didn't see it clearly in bed, but you have a beautiful body," she said as she touched his muscles.
"Kiana, stop that, it's ticklish," Amane said, but Kiana continued without caring about his words, panting heavily.
"Kiana, did you two really do that? But you're too young," Theresa asked, blushing and shaking Kiana. "And stop that, you look like a pervert."
"Oops," Kiana scratched her head as she admitted that the two of them had indeed done that, and she had really enjoyed the experience. However, in the end, she needed some help due to Amane's outstanding stamina.
"Was his stamina really that impressive?" Sakura whispered to herself upon hearing Kiana's comment about Amane's exceptional stamina. "As his partner, I should become stronger and stand by his side," she vowed, determined to become stronger.
"This is the first time I've seen a man's body. It's nothing like Onee-san's," Rin said as she touched his muscles. "It's hard, unlike Onee-san's which is soft."
"Rin, don't imitate that pervert," Amane said, pointing at Kiana. "She's a bad influence on kids."
"Hey!" Kiana retorted.
Sakura blushed upon hearing Rin's words and didn't dare to look at Amane's body.
"Ugh..." Kallen's voice was heard by the others as she slowly opened her eyes. "I'm hungry!"
"Told you, she's your ancestor," Amane said to Kiana and Theresa.
"Sigh, the Kaslana bottomless stomach," Theresa muttered as she rolled her eyes.
Amane laughed as he carried Kallen in a princess carry, running like a ninja and jumping through trees away from the Yae Village, followed by the others.
"Are you kidnapping me?" Kallen asked.
"Uhm... No?" Amane answered, sweat dropping, and not knowing what to say because it looked like he was kidnapping her.
"I see," Kallen nodded as she looked ahead, amazed by his speed. "You're strong. Oh, thank you for tending to my wounds," she said, noticing her clothes had changed.
"D-Did you change my clothes and see me naked?" Kallen asked, stuttering and blushing. For her, being seen naked by a male was only allowed for her husband or someone she deeply loved.
"I changed your clothes because they were covered in blood," Amane answered truthfully.
"B-But, the only ones allowed to see a girl's naked body are my husband and the person I would love. What should I do now that you've seen me naked?" Kallen asked, her mind racing.
"There are two options: marry me, or think of me just like a doctor," Amane answered, aware that doctors in the past used to examine patients' naked bodies since there were no modern medical tools available.
Kallen nodded and decided to regard Amane as a doctor. "Why are you not wearing a shirt?" she inquired, noticing Amane's lack of clothing.
"Oh, you have my shirt on," Amane clarified, explaining the situation.
As they continued their journey through the forest, Amane explained the situation to Kallen and introduced her to the rest of the group. Kallen was surprised to learn about her resemblance to Kiana and Theresa and their shared ancestry.
