Chapter 47: Chapter 45
Author's Note: Phew, I nearly got kicked out of the house. Everyone in my family was staring at me – some eagerly anticipating drama, while others were waiting for an explanation. My uncle found it so amusing that he couldn't stop laughing. Fortunately, the situation was resolved when I explained that I was just sleeping the whole. Adding to the chaos, my sister saw my cousin sneakily removing my clothes at that time. She found it hilarious to observe my reaction if I woke up.

(Seele pov)
I'm not sure how many years have passed since I got stuck in this never-ending time loop, all while waiting for Bronya-Onee-Chan to come and save me.
"How much longer do you plan to wait for Bronya to rescue you?" My other self asked with a cold look.
"You're right," I responded.
I don't want to just rely on Bronya-Onee-Chan for my rescue. I want to support her too, and stand by her no matter what happens.
"Then let's get out of here," I suggested to my other self.
She's the only one I can talk to in the Sea of Quanta and the Infinite Loop timeline. I know she's worried about me.
After that conversation with my other self, I decided I couldn't wait around any longer for rescue. Instead, I'll have to save myself.
"Okay," my other self agreed, floating beside me.
As I walked, the unfamiliar surroundings shattered like broken glass.
"Did we finally escape the endless time loop?" I wondered aloud, looking around at my new surroundings – a laboratory or maybe a prison.
"Are you alright?" I heard an unfamiliar voice say. I turned to see a woman with long pink hair and rabbit ears, reaching out her hand to help me up.
"I was worried when I found you unconscious here. But when I got to you, you were already awake," she explained as I took her hand.
"Thank you, Onee-san. But where am I?" I asked, tilting my head as I looked around the lab or prison.
"Shhh," the Onee-san whispered, pulling me behind a wall as a Mecha suddenly passed by.
She let out a sigh of relief once the Mecha was gone and removed her hand from my mouth.
"I'm Sakura. What are you doing in a place like this? A little girl like you shouldn't be here," Sakura said, glancing around.
"Tsk, come with me, and I'll help you escape from here along with my sister," she offered, motioning for me to follow her.
As we hurried through the corridors, I realized that Sakura was actually friendly. Although I was scared of her at first, I started to feel more at ease around her.
"What are those Mechas patrolling the area?" I asked, curiosity piqued since this seemed more like a military base than a lab or prison.
"They're guards patrolling to capture me," Sakura replied, her wariness evident as we moved through the corridor. "I'm from an organization called the Moth who chases the flames (MOTHs)."
"We fight against the Honkai," she added without going into further detail.
I found myself confused about why she would be fighting against her own comrades and who she was searching for.
"Let's wait here," Sakura suggested as I took a deep breath, feeling tired from all the running.
"I'm going to hack into the database and help you escape from this place," she explained, using something on her arm.
While waiting, I looked around and became curious about a giant monitor. I read through the available files stored in the massive computer.
According to the database, the world had suffered greatly due to the 11th Herrscher. Humanity was on the brink of extinction, and the MOTHs were slowly falling apart.
We hurried around the corridor and reached another corner, where we saw a man with white hair waiting for us.
He stood in front of the elevator, which could only be used to go to the lower floor.
"Sakura, as your comrade, I suggest you stop this nonsense immediately," he said, blocking the way to the lower level.
"Kevin, blocking me won't stop me," Sakura replied, unsheathing her sword. Suddenly, the surroundings changed.

Using her ability to stop time drained a large amount of energy from her, and she carried Seele. Stopping inside the elevator, she cut the wire that connected it, causing them to fall.
Sakura panted, nearly kneeling down and using her sword for support as she regained her stance.
As time started working again, Seele was able to move once more.

"Are you okay, Sakura-nee?" I asked, quickly helping her stand.
"I'm fine, Seele," Sakura answered, then pointed.
Both of us stood before the prison cell. "Finally, I've arrived," she remarked, opening the door.

At the moment, Amane and his friends are playing a game of Jenga blocks.
In this game, players take turns removing one block at a time from a tower built with 54 blocks. Each block removed is then placed on top of the tower, creating a structure that becomes increasingly unstable. That's Jenga.
"That's what happened before I arrived here," Seele explained to Amane, who was playing the game alongside her.
"I should play more with Onee-chan," RIN and Hikkogamaru both said simultaneously. They exchanged looks at eachother and giggled.
"How about we set her up on a blind date with Amane-Onii-Chan?" Rin suggested to the others.
RIN and Higokumaru exchanged another look and agreed, saying, "The Council of Rin's approves."
