Chronology
One evening, when the Melusine Pirates intercepted another group of pirates that had attacked Andika, they were confronted by Miledi Reisen and Oscar Orcus, who were attempting to rescue several acquaintances that had been taken hostage during the attack. As the two of them battled the Melusine Pirates, Oscar was quickly attacked by Kyaty. Despite her incredible speed, thanks to her special magic "Acceleration", Oscar managed to block her first strike with his umbrella before attempting to disarm her daggers with his black coat that he controlled remotely (much to her shock). Kyaty then prepared to attack him once more and proceeded to strike his legs, but he was able to track her movements using the perception enhancing abilities of his glasses, and blocked her attack with both his umbrella and his metallic plate embedded in his boot. He then crushed one of her daggers underfoot. Kyaty attempted to leap back, but Oscar quickly restrained her using his "Metamorph Chains". Oscar then had the remaining length of chain wrap itself around one of the mast’s spars and then hoisted Kyaty into the air. This angered Kyaty and proceeded to insult Oscar by calling him a pervert. Moments later, Kyaty's comrade Chris freed her by cutting through Oscar's chains with his sword. Instead of offering him her gratitude, however, Kyaty complained to Chris for the pain she felt for landing on her rear end after he freed her.

The fight eventually ended with both sides ceased hostilities after the pirate's captain Meiru unintentionally harmed Miledi gravely with her Ancient Magic, and offered to heal her back up as a result. When Oscar was about to engage Meiru for harming Miledi, Kyaty and Chris warned her about his powerful weapons, but Oscar stood down after Miledi told him to trust Meiru to heal her, once she expressed remorse for he actions. Soon after both sides introduced themselves properly, they were attacked by a Devourer: a giant Monster that had been drawn by the mana both sides exerted during their battle. While Miledi Oscar decided to battl the monster, the Melusine Pirates took the opportunity to flee the scene. Kyaty expressed her concerns at leaving the two of them on their own against such a dangerous opponent, but Meiru assured her that they would be alright, though Kyaty was not convinced. In the end, Miledi and Oscar managed to defeat the Devourer and reunite with the pirates thanks to the aid of their other comrade Naiz Gruen Caliente.

Over the next month, the three of them stayed with the pirates, before retiring to Andika, in order to uncover what Meiru's goal was in her bid to conquer it. Soon after Miledi and the other left, they pirates were attack by the Holy Church's Templar Knights. Kyaty fought against several knights under the command of Squad Captain Pell Allby. Throughout the fight, Pell constantly requesting her to accept her fate and die in a polite and meek tone (much to Kyaty's annoyance). Kyaty attempted to use her "Acceleration" to get a quick victory, but Pell was surrounded by four other knights that acted as living shields. Every time Kyaty managed to harm one of he knights, Pell would use her own special magic "Devotion" to drain some of Kyaty's mana, and then use it to heal the other knights. Pell once again asked Kyaty to give up and accept death in the name of Ehit, to which Kyaty replied by mocking Ehit's judgement in an attempt to get them angry enough that she could attack while they were distracted. Pell suddenly became infuriated by that response and proceeded to kill Kyaty with her claymore. Although Kyaty was able to avoid any fatal wounds, Pell had managed to inflict serious damage to both her weapons and body after attempting to block one her attacks. Kyaty, however, was able to quickly heal herself (thanks to Meiru using her Ancient Magic to restore both her and her weapons) and proceeded to kill Pell's subordinates. Eventually, Kyaty and the rest of the pirates were outmatched by the church's forces, and were about to be defeated, but were saved thanks to the sudden return of Miledi and her comrades. With their help, the pirates managed to force the templar knights into a temporary retreat.

After learning that the church was planning to abduct Meiru's younger sister Diene Devault in Andika, the pirates and the Liberators lead an infiltration mission in order to rescue Diene first. Kyaty had disguised herself as a maid in Andika's most prominent casino. She was worried that Miledi and Oscar, who also snuck is as casino employees, would blow their cover due to Oscar openly discussing Miledi's maid disguise. Soon after, Oscar turned his attention to Kyaty and praised her outfit, much to Kyaty's shock. When one of the casino's customer's recognized Miledi from a previous encounter and threaten to ruin the mission, Oscar was prepared to attack him, but Kyaty intervened and attempted to move all of them to a secluded area o avoid attention, to which the man expressed his joy of getting to spend time alone with the two young women (particularly Miledi). However, they soon received a message from Naiz that revealed that the church was aware of their mission. This immediately prompted Miledi and the pirates to relinquish their disguises and proceed to attack Andika's security, followed by the church. Kyaty was briefly taken aback after once more seeing seeing Miledi and Oscar's skills, but she soon joined in the fight and attacked many of Andika's nobles and guards. Eventually, the fight was interrupted thanks to the awaken of the Divine Beast Leviathan that had previously laid dormant under Andika for millennia. It was defeated thanks to Meiru and Miledi, but Andika had sunk as a result, though the citizens managed to evacuate thanks to the aid of the pirates. Over the next several weeks, they citizens established a new home made of various ships that had been formed into a new island for them. Though some of them, including Meiru, decided to join Miledi's group: The Liberators.

Soon after Meiru left to travel with her new comrades, the Melusine Pirates rescued a young woman named Aisha and her two guards Failur and Scurdy, who had bee traded out in the ocean for ten days. They were traveling to Andika in a effort to find Oscar, at Aisha's urging, but they had no prior experience traveling the ocean and became stranded. Aisha learned about the pirate's relation with Oscar, and also bothered Kyaty after finding out that Oscar saw her in a maid outfit.

When Aisha resumed her search for Oscar, Kyaty decided to accompany her group, and they all travelled to his last known destination: Esperado, the capital city of the Entris Federation. After a long and difficult trek, they finally arrived at Esperado. Unfortunately, Oscar had already left the city by the time Aisha's group had arrived. Unable to learn of Oscar's current werabouts, Aisha and the others opted to reunite with the Melusine Pirates with the hope that Oscar would reunite with them. As they headed back, Kyaty and Aisha were bickering over Kyaty's indifferent attitude towards the latter's struggles, as well as her obvious crush towards Oscar. After traveling for hours, they arrived at the small village of Horuo, where they planned to stay for the night. As they were searching for an inn, Aisha suddenly detected Oscar's scent from a young girl named Kiara, and immediately rushed towards her and smelled her in an aggressive manner. When Kiara expressed her distress at being sniffed at, Aisha apologized and explained her reason for sniffing her, while also claiming to be Oscar's wife. Kiara, however, accused Aisha of lying and proclaimed that Oscar was already in a relationship with his companion Miledi, and even went so far as to argue that he had engaged in many sexual activity with her, as well as with Naiz and Meiru (which were all false). This shocked both Kyaty and Aisha, and they argued with Kiara about the validity of her claims. Kiara invited Kyaty's group to the inn she was working at and vowed to prove that she was telling the truth. As they all headed for the inn, the three girls continued arguing with one and other over Oscar's preferred lover.

Kyaty later parted with Aisha and returned to the Melusine Pirates.
