Mio had awoken a few minutes ago with Kiara by her side. With confusion in the air as to how they all got separated so easily, they had no choice but to continue forward through the narrow hallway they found themselves at.

"I hope Fubuki isn't alone in here..." Worry was plastered on Mio's face, causing Kiara to try and alleviate her worry.

"I'm sure she's fine, Mio, she's a tough girl! Besides, with Kuro-chan on her side, why wouldn't she be alright! I can already imagine Kuro-chan coming out to save her when things go south!" Mio gently smiled; Kiara's attempts working a bit. But then, Mio's eyes narrowed a bit.

"Fubuki is a patient girl at times. But that's only when she awaits for someone that she's sure would come. So, in an unfamiliar place like this... I can't help but imagine Fubuki panicking right now." Kiara placed her hand on Mio's shoulder and rubbed it a bit as she stopped her.

"She's waiting for us, Mio, don't forget that." Mio stared at Kiara's bright and determined eyes and soon nodded her head. They headed forward again with no idea how to get out of their situation.

"I would say that you're not alone in worrying about everyone else, but a certain someone is already doing so ahead of time. I guess you're going to give a piece of your mind again, huh?" Mio smiled, imagining the face Haru would give her when everyone was safe and sound.

"Although... I am worried about Mumei. She called Haru by another name and announced that she didn't need this world anymore. What could that possibly mean?"

"I wouldn't have the clue, Mio. It might have to with something with Haru's past with her, but that wouldn't make sense. We both know the first time they met." Mio sighed, thinking about a possible solution, but couldn't.

"I won't say that he's hiding something from us because he's terrible at keeping things hidden away from us. If there was something bothering him, it'll all be written on his face." Kiara agreed, thinking about all of the past times he had attempted to hide secrets, shouldering everything on his own and come to the revolutionary side that he wasn't alone to do so.

"But no one should be shouldering anything alone, Mio. You out of all people, who's been with him the longest should know that." It was a brief moment, but her family that she had left behind popped into her head. Oddly enough, she smiled a bit.

"Yeah..." Mio hadn't told anyone of her past about her family expect for for Haru and Kiara. Fubuki had learned of a bit, but from a long time ago, she had ultimately decided that it wasn't too important for her to know. Mio was the that helped Fubuki and that's all there was to it.

"Hey, Mio! Where you going?!" Mio had snapped out of her thoughts to realize that she walked past a room that Kiara was in. Poking her head in, Kiara was seen in front of a metal table with a computer in the center of it.

"Does it work?" Mio asked, getting beside Kiara to see if it would potentially turn on.

"Don't know. It is weird though; this stuff was just made, but why was the computer so dusty? And the rooms too! Why are they so dirty and dusty?!" Mio sweatdropped as Kiara went on about the condition of the room. Although, Kiara hadn't noticed it, but the computer had finally turned on with a short white flash, before the screen had went black again.

Login: Ku/Su

Password: ...

"Su? That's what Mumei called Haru! But who's this Ku person?" Kiara scratched her head in confusion.

"And we need a password... I don't believe that there's anything in the room that could help us figure this out." Mio couldn't help but sigh at her surroundings. Out of everything, the computer was the only thing that was helpful, but even then, they were unable to get anything from it.

Voice: Detected.
Question: Is Su or Ku not in the area?

"Mio, look! It was able to detect our voices! I don't really get how and why, but this is progress!"

"But Kiara, we still don't have a password for the computer, so we hadn't progressed at all." Kiara couldn't help but smile nervously.

"Maybe... we could ask it some questions? We don't know until we try! Okay, computer, Su nor Ku is in the area! Now help us out!" Kiara had answered the question, to which the computer's question had disappeared, only to be replaced with a series of dots.

Detection: Kingdom not in vicinity.

Unsure of location.

Detection: Mumei within vicinity.

Question: Why am I here?

Mio and Kiara couldn't help but keep quiet when the computer continued to type on its own. However, the computer's question had earned a bit of goosebumps. It was odd for an AI to question its reason for being in its area; let alone their existence too.

"Uh... We're not sure why you're here. Could you explain to us what that 'Kingdom' thing is all about?" The computer's texts had disappeared, being replaced with a blank screen.

Answer: Kingdom was a project that was created for the sole purpose of protecting the people of - [Continued Data Cannot Be Retrieved]

"Hmm, I don't know why, but something tells me that we're looking at something bigger than us right now. And by the looks of it, whatever this project was, it's gone apparently."

"Well, Kiara, when stuff like this is created by a concept, then I believe that everything that we're seeing here is beyond us. But for it too mention the project.... I'm guessing this thing has to be very old. Uhm, computer, you detected Mumei in the area, but why not Su? Mumei had said something about our friend being Su, so..." The computer had erased the previous text and for a while and nothing to seem to appear again.

"Did we break it?" Mio asked, worried that their only chance of knowledge as to what's going on is gone.

Before Kiara could respond, they heard a sudden loud noise, before all they could hear was someone screaming.

"OKAYUUUU!!" Kiara and Mio instantly recognized the voice, but the not the loud and now crumbling noise along with it. Before they went out the room, a brown haired girl with someone purple haired went into the room breathing heavily. But before they focused on her, they so a giant boulder moving past the room.

"Korone?! And what happened to Okayu?!" Korone's expression lit up when she looked in front of her to see Mio and Kiara.

"She... fell asleep! I couldn't stop her from taking a nap and she laid down on a trap on the ground and a giant boulder came out of nowhere!" Kiara and Mio turned their gaze to Okayu who was laying on the floor with a satisfied situation. No doubt Korone was screaming so she could wake the lazy cat, but...

"Good to know that the place is trapped at least." Kiara sweatdropped.

"Very much good! Korone, have you seen Fubuki anywhere?!" Mio was starting to panic; the mere thought of the place being trapped is sounding off all alarms in Mio's head.

"N-No... Maybe she's with Haru! Or maybe with Gura or someone!" Korone had sat Okayu up a bit for her to lean on the wall as she slept.

"But the possibility of that... well, they might be higher than nothing, but I don't think Gura's one to think rationally in her situation. Although I'm hoping that she's all right too..." Kiara put a hand on Mio's shoulder before she turned to the computer and stared with shocked eyes.

"Mio, the computer typed something weird now!" Mio, and a interested Korone, looked at the screen, to find that computer had indeed typed something weird.

Detection:

Kingdom within vicinity.
