Let the Bizarre Adventure of the Joestars begin.

A fiery aura struck Yae Sakura's face, causing her to feel a slight sense of panic. However, Kiana's next words were something Yae Sakura could not accept.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Yae Sakura asked after confirming Kiana's words.

"Answer my question first."

"Okay, but are you really going to do that?" He repeated the question he had asked earlier, not to question Kiana's order, but to confirm something.

"Yes, see you later, Yae Sakura." Kiana didn't hesitate at all when asked about Yae Sakura's question.

The instant Kiana gave her answer, Yae Sakura swung her sword and slashed a long, narrow wound across Kiana's chest.

After that, Yae Sakura lifted Kiana's forehead and pressed her own forehead against it.

At this moment, a brand new Stigmata was born.

Afterwards, Kiana, bearing the most severe injuries she had ever suffered in her life, appeared there before Raiden Mei and the warship finished their battle.

It successfully attracted the attention of both parties.

Thus, he successfully infiltrated St. Freya Academy.

And these last two people, who had confirmed Kiana's current progress in her plan by relying on the spatial rift, left this place.

What roles they played in this incident is something for later.

Honkai Stone Gate: Chapter 28 - What Miss Jeanne Did

He was fully conscious, yet he couldn't move even a single finger...

Am I... having a nightmare?

A kneeling girl had this question, but the scene around her clearly showed what she had done; at the very least, it was certain that this girl had killed someone.

My body hurts so much... Why am I here?

'I... I kind of remember now, I overslept this morning and got scolded by my mom...'

The woman kneeling there tried desperately to recall what she had done, and soon she came up with an answer that wasn't really an answer.

"Then I arrived at school. The first class was math. The white-haired girl sitting on the edge of the bed was dozing off; there was just no way to deal with her."

What happened after that is a little blurry, but I can still vaguely recall some of it.

Then… a scream came from the hallway. The class monitor suddenly stood up, rushed to the podium, and bit the teacher's neck…

'What happened? I…'

Who is it again?

"I have brought the deaths of three people: one is yours, one is mine, and the other is hers," said a silver-haired woman standing in front of the girl.

Beside the silver-haired woman was another silver-haired woman. The two looked somewhat similar, but not in a way that made them indistinguishable.

"It must be very uncomfortable, your body is being constantly eroded by Honkai energy, but you still retain a little bit of consciousness." Sirin said this as if she were talking about something she had experienced herself.

However, if I had to say, perhaps she really did experience it. Sirin has the same memories as another version of herself, so from this point of view, it can be seen that Sirin really did experience the same things as another version of herself.

That's why Xilin can empathize with her now.

Of course, it's not just that kind of empathy; it's also empathy in another sense.

"However, I think if it were you now, you probably wouldn't feel that much, or rather, you should be thanking the gods for choosing you." Just as Miss Jeanne thought, Sirin's next sentence directly revealed her wolfish ambition.

"So, please die." The girl who heard Sirin say this was pierced through the body by the Spear of the Void in the next second.

'Oh no, shouldn't she be the one to die?' the girl thought to herself, but she never considered what Sirin's abilities were, and such an opponent would be the weakest opponent in the eyes of Miss Jeanne or Sirin.

Or rather, anything that can't break through Sirin's imaginary space defense is weak, so weak that Sirin doesn't even need to take it seriously.

And that's where Sirin's daily mishaps come from.

"How did it go, Sirin?" However, Sirin wouldn't mess things up with Miss Jeanne around; perhaps she wanted to show off a little in front of Miss Jeanne?

But in short, no matter what Miss Jeanne or Sirin does, as long as things don't go wrong right now, that's fine.

"You must be wondering right now why I wasn't pierced," Sirin whispered in the girl's ear, but whether the girl heard her or not, Sirin didn't know.

“Yes, it’s resolved.” Turning around, Sirin answered Miss Jeanne’s question in this way.

"Cirin, do you think a fire can cover up the traces, or a building collapse can cover up the traces?" Miss Jeanne asked Sirin as she turned around, completely ignoring what Sirin had done before.

"child……"

"You want it all? How greedy! But there shouldn't be any living people left in this building, right?" Miss Jeanne tapped Sirin's head lightly with her knuckles.

The sound is quite pleasant; it must be a delicious pufferfish.

Such thoughts echoed in Miss Jeanne's mind. As for why she had such thoughts, it was probably because Miss Jeanne had been a housewife for more than ten years.

"Well, it would be better to have both together." With that, Miss Jeanne used her magic to ignite the area.

Sirin did something else entirely: she used the Spear of the Void to pierce through the load-bearing pillar of the school building.

"She might come back to life." Finally, standing in front of the teaching building, looking at the collapsed building, Xilin felt strangely uneasy.

"Cirin, we should go." Jeanne said this as she stood behind Sirin, but there was no urging in her voice.

"Hmm, Jeanne, are you sure you gave Kiana the Grail for location tracking and messaging?" Sirin's sudden question didn't cause Jeanne much distress, because she had already given the Grail to Kiana beforehand, deciding which Grail to use as the coordinates to return to this world.

Yes, we'll take Cecilia with us.

"I'll leave it to Kiana safely," Miss Jeanne said.

“Then I can set off with peace of mind.” Similarly, Sirin believed everything Miss Jeanne said.

"Really, if you're so worried, why didn't you stop Kiana a few days ago?" Miss Jeanne's question carried a hint of a smile.

"Didn't I already help you?" Upon hearing this, Sirin instantly became unhappy. After all, she had promised to let Kiana go, but now she was worrying about things on her own.

"Alright, alright, although I'm quite worried too, let's trust Kiana for now." Saying this, Miss Kiana gently hugged Sirin.

Such a gesture has been rare in the past decade or so, so Miss Jeanne's action successfully made Sirin sense something.

"Ugh, why did you suddenly hug me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to hug you, at least right now."

"What kind of answer is that? Let's start over, start over."

Slightly startled by Miss Jeanne's sudden action, Sirin revealed a hint of her true nature that she occasionally showed.

For example, a very shy child, or a child who is very afraid of the people around them leaving.

"Alright, alright, what I wanted to say is that we should get going; there are people waiting for us." Avoiding answering Celine's question, he found a new event to distract her.

Although Sirin still cared about this matter afterward, the door to the world had been opened, and it was time for Jeanne and Sirin to set off.

Just like before, it's time to release it.

Ripples of light within the arena: Prologue - Two people who took the wrong path

We are not unfamiliar with this old woman; in fact, we are more familiar with her eyes and the scars on her face.

Forty-nine years after the disappearance of Jeanne Josda and Cecilia Shaniat, time has changed dramatically.

Stray inherited his teacher Doppeldt's mantle, while Speedwagon became an oil tycoon. At this time, they were traveling to Mexico to see something.

That was a discovery made by the excavation team of the Speedwagon Foundation, something that has not yet been made public and is known only to them.

However, the whole story doesn't begin here, but elsewhere, for example.

"Cirin, can you tell me why I'm here?" Miss Jeanne asked Sirin, her expression quite unfriendly.

As for the reason? Perhaps just looking at the surrounding situation will make it clear.

Yes, Miss Jeanne is standing on the summit of a mountain. As for how high this so-called summit is, perhaps we can tell from the fact that Miss Jeanne can't find the way down at all.

"It's different. We didn't arrive in a world that has collapsed. Something must have interfered with my judgment," Sirin said. But no matter what Sirin said, she couldn't shake off the blame.

"Alright, alright, at least next time you leave, please find the source of the interference first, Sirin." Hearing Sirin's explanation, Miss Jeanne could only sigh in the end and forgive Sirin.

“However, before that, Jeanne and I might not have been so unlucky,” Sirin said, but judging from her expression, it seemed she had discovered something.

"Did you hear that too?" Jeanne asked Sirin, because under the previous circumstances, Jeanne was not sure if what she saw was a hallucination, but now that Sirin and she heard the same voice, it meant that...

That voice did not represent an illusion.

After several minutes, as Ms. Ciel and Ms. Jeanne watched the sound fly overhead, they were able to determine the era they were in.

"Cirin, probably..."

"From the 1820s to the 1840s, considering that these things were common among the general public," Sirin added, completing the part Miss Jeanne hadn't finished saying.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that there is no ability to accelerate overall technology. Sirin's judgment technology is perfect, well, it can only be considered perfect.

“But no matter how we analyze it, we can only follow along, right?” Miss Jeanne said. However, both Miss Jeanne’s and Sirin’s analyses made sense.

After all, Sirin wasn't confident she could teleport the two of them there, while Miss Jeanne was confident, but who knew what Miss Jeanne meant by "confident"?

Therefore, Miss Jeanne's confidence is not taken into consideration.
