"Experiment #496."

". . . ."

"Experiment #496!!"

". . .Yes."

"If you fail to complete this simple task, you know the consequences?

"Yes. . ."

"Off you go! And give us the best result as usual!"

     DO NOT FAIL                                                NUMBER 1                                                            ASSASSINATE

"Fall! Queen of Time!"

The girl wakes up in a room that she knows nothing about. At first glance, it looks like a normal teenage boy's bedroom.

"(That was a dream from last night?)"

"(Wait, last night? It's already morning!?")

The door in the room was suddenly opened and someone enters the room.

"Oh! You're awake? How's your wound?"

It was Light. There's an obvious difference in his appearance. He's covered in bandages at the spots where the girl's swords stabbed him from the fight last night. 

Immediately, the girl summons her clock hand sword and throws it at him right towards the center of his head. The sword, as it reached his forehead, did not wound him. His forehead transformed and absorbed the sword.

"That transformation is really one of a kind, huh?" praises the girl with a slightly mocking tone.

"It really is. If it was any other type of Transformation I'd have died immediately."

"UKH!"

Suddenly, the girl felt a sharp stinging pain on top of her head. She quickly touches her head and realized that her head is also wrapped in bandages.

"Don't push yourself. I'm sorry I smacked you in the head. Also. . . y-your current outfit is a bit revealing. . ." said the boy as he averts his eyes.

"Huh?"

The girl looked at her own body and realized she doesn't have her hoodie on.

"KYAH!"

She quickly grabbed the blanket on the bed to cover her tank top while being flustered as well.

"W-Where is my hoodie?"

"It got some blood so I'm currently washing it, don't worry. A-Anyway. . ."

"(Huh? Wait a minute, this is just my tank top, not my underwear. Why does his presence make me so self-conscious about it?)"

Light walks towards the girl while he carries a tray with a sandwich and a glass of water on it.

"Here, have breakfast!

Light offers the sandwich to the girl. The girl turned her head away but then she took the sandwich silently from Light's hand without looking.

"(WHY WAS THAT SO ADORABLE!?)" Light freaks out in his own head.

*MUNCH*

She took a bite of the sandwich.

". . . ."

". . . ."

"(This silence is so awkward.)"

*MUNCH*

The girl just took another bite on the sandwich in full silence.

*MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH*

The girl finished the sandwich in the next three bites.

"Here have a drink."

Light shoves his hand while holding the glass of water to the girl. The girl took the drink while also not looking at Light, again.

"(IT'S SO CUTE! WHY IS THAT SO CUTE?)" said Light in his own head while his face turned red a little.

"(Have to admit, this is kinda jarring considering she tried to kill me with all of her might last night.)"

*GULP GULP GULP*

The girl drank the glass of water until it's fully empty.

"I'll give you answers."

"Huh?"

"As I said, I'll give you answers! You're interrogating me, right? That's why you even gave me food."

"Sheesh, relax. I do have some questions but it's not as extreme as an interrogation."

"Fine! Consider it a reward for actually defeating me. I win most of the fights I fought my whole life, you see."

"Well, thank you for your kindness. First off, what's your name?"

"I can't say."

"Huh? Then, what should I call you?"

"Still won't tell."

"Sigh. . ., so, what were you doing last night?"

"Classified."

"Classified? That's. . . a weird response. Why did you after that guy?"

"I can't say."

"Hmm, can you explain those expressions that you've been wearing last night?"

The girl did not answer and her face looked incredibly frustrated.

"See, you did it again! What's your deal? Can I help?"

"Don't be so arrogant! You may have defeated me, but what I'm dealing with is on a whole other level."

"Really? Care to spoil?"

"NO! I'll answer any other questions, but not those ones!"

"(I don't even know what those are.)"

"Okay, how about you explain your Faith power?"

"Why? Didn't you already know?"

"Well, not entirely."

"Sigh. . . Fine, I'll explain. My Faith power works. . .!"

The girl suddenly stopped talking midway.

"I. . .I have to go."

"What's with you suddenly?"

"I. . . I failed. I have to return. I HAVE TO RETURN!"

The girl stands up from the bed. She turns away from Light and faces towards the window. The girl's body began to glow in blue light and her injuries are healed in the blink of an eye. Light grabs the girl's hand with his blackened hand.

"TCH! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU! LET GO!" the girl responded angrily without looking at Light.

"No! Let me come with you!"

The girl froze at Light's words. She slowly turns around and looks at Light. It's faint, but the girl felt something in her heart, something that felt so different from all of her other emotions. She felt a little bit of hope. Someone who's actually stronger than her is offering a helping hand.

"Don't mess around! What could you possibly do?"

"You've seen my capabilities last night. You know that!"

"But, I don't wanna involved random civilians. . ."

"I am NOT random civilians! How many times do I have to introduce myself? My name is Light Lunehart. I am the Judge of Lust and I am one of the Seven Layers of Judgment. While saving the bad guys is my primary job, saving the victim is also part of the job." said Light with a confident tone.

"I. . .I. . ." the girl hesitates.

Inside, the girl is struggling heavily.

"Are you being supervised perhaps?"

The girl didn't reply.

"That answers the question. I'll go with you."

Truthfully, the girl genuinely doesn't have the heart to involve strangers in whatever that she's dealing with, but at the same time, she is incredibly desperate. She would say yes to any kind of helping hand in a flash. 

After having a lot of deep thoughts, the girl made up her mind. Without answering, the girl nods.

"I won't let you down! Don't worry!"

The girl suddenly shed tears. She starts crying like a little kid. 

"(Eh? She's crying? A strong girl like her is crying this hard? She is the 4th Strongest Believer in the entire world, what could possibly make such a strong girl cries this painfully?)"

"C-Calm down!! Umm, eeeh, L-Let's prepare ourselves first before anything else, alright?"

"*sobs* okay *sobs*"

They proceed to prepare themselves, taking a bath, wearing clean clothes and etc. The girl wears the same outfit as she can "clean" her clothes without washing them. Light also gives back her hoodie. After she puts on the hoodie, they are ready now.

"Let's go. Lead the way!" said Light towards the girl with a reassuring tone as if he's telling her that everything's gonna be alright.

"Oh, right!" The girl walks closer to Light.

"At least, let me heal your wounds!"

"Uuh, I don't think that's gonna---"

The girl puts her hand on Light's forehead. Her hand glows blue but Light's body did not.

". . . I can't rewind your body. I can't heal you?"

"It's my blessing, God's Holy Grace. I am completely immune to all kinds of indirect attacks. This includes any kind of healing Faith power."

"I see. . ."

"Don't worry about it. Let's focus on your problem!"

"Understood!" answers the girl with a surprisingly hopeful tone.

They both take off and fly towards somewhere that only the girl knows where. 

During the first few minutes of their flight, Light asks the girl.

"Hey, uh. . . Can I have your name now?"

". . . Okay." the girl nods.

"My name is. . ."
