Before anything goes in the story, a random conversation between Hajime and Kyrie takes place.

Kyrie: "So that's what an orbital strike is!"

...

She grins.

Hajime: "... Ain, no."

He said, sternly.

Kyrie: "And we'll call it Exterminatus."

She says with growing anticipation.

Hajime: "No...!"

He spoke, even more sternly, like an owner telling his dog no.

Kyrie just gets more excited.

Kyrie: "Heh. Soon, we will make the Exterminatus! Now, about that topic on your world's weapons, what's this... A10 Warthog?"

Hajime: "Ain! Please! Have some humanity...!"

He says like the soul's being drained from his body at the number of things Kyrie wants to create and "learn" from him. Her enthusiasm for creating weapons and for understanding innovations continues to make Hajime question whether or not Kyrie is insane.

Kyrie: "I reject my humanity! I embrace innovation!"

She extended her hands open as if she was welcoming the world.

Hajime: "Ain, no!"

Yue: "Onee-sama, yes!"

Yue cheers.

She is eager to know more things, especially from Ain. (Mostly so she can use that against her and get Ain to hopefully fall for Hajime or at least get them together in the end.)

With the newly-founded Haulia Cadia Tribe sorted out and Shea no longer being a problem, they make their way to Reisen Gorge to get more powers to fuel Kyrie's innovation.

In all honesty, Hajime just wanted to find ways to keep himself alive so he has enough time to take his revenge. He also wanted to make Kyrie happy, though he didn't consciously think about it.

Yue continued scheming, though it was getting harder for her to come up with ideas to get the two together since Kyrie was either cunning enough or oblivious enough to avoid or misinterpret the situations she puts Kyrie and Hajime through.

As they went into the next labyrinth, Kyrie noticed something through a feeling. Remembering that the labyrinth made by Miledi Reisen was to test how one would go about without magic, Kyrie feels the materials and/or magic used had some latent null attributes.

To her, this would make sense. Since she knew that each world had its own version of the Warp, everything magical is hypothetically under the rule of the Warp, inevitably always being connected to it in one way, shape, or form.

Psychic nulls, or Blanks, can be used to suppress a psyker. Blanks, to some degree, are immune to any psychic attacks. Only if a psychic might is powerful and overwhelming enough could a psyker destroy a null.

Kyrie was more than powerful enough as a psyker for her powers not to get affected, but she still rolled with the roleplaying experience.

The summary of events goes as follows.

Kyrie managed to help them not get lost and start from the beginning.

When the three were in a hallway with all the doors getting blocked off by walls, Yue quickly borrowed Kyrie's Quickiebomb Launcher to sticky-spam the boulders. Kyrie is proud to have raised a new Demo main.
