Fresh meat?! The whole tail?!

Yup. With greater speed, we could carry it as is! We can take it with us and have big brother Rafa feast on it, okay?

Sounds great! Im sure he will be happy!

Okay then, Ill bring it over!

And then

Lets go, Rani!

Yeah! Wait for us, big brother Rafa! Well save you and give you mister dragons exquisite meat, thats for sure!

Inglis and Rafinha nodded at each other with serious expressions. Inglis was carrying a whole dragons tail on her shoulder, while Rafinha was holding a huge chunk of dragon jerky in both hands

Incidentally, Redas was also carrying jerky as their porter.

Their faces are beautiful and yet the sight is a bit

W-, well, that is how they always are The fact that theyre bringing so many souvenirs for Sir Raphael shows how determined they are to help.

Rather, this means theyre back on their usual track Thats much better than feeling grim, aint that right?

Im sure they will be okay! If anything, we should be the ones making sure Inglis and Rafinha dont regret going back to Charalia!

Whilst the rest of the group watched over them, the hangar at the bottom of the flying battleship opened and a person peeked out.

Thats some luggage! Well bring the ship down, just wait a sec!

No need, were in a hurry! Would you mind backing away a little?!

? Whatd you wannaAAAAH?!!

When the Ironblood Chain Brigade soldier asked her, Inglis was already furiously running at them with the Dragon Gods tail in her grip. As she did, she looked back to Leone and the others.

Well then, everyone! Ill see you at the Academy! HYAAAaahh!!

With an earth-shattering kick to the ground, her figure soared weightlessly into the sky as though the dragon tail weighed nothing, and she was promptly sucked into the ships hangar.

The impact of Inglis and the huge Dragon Gods tail diving into the ship caused the hull to lean heavily for a moment.

OOOOooooohhhhh?!!!

Sh-, she flew?! While carrying such a huge thing?!

I-, inhuman! No wonder the general bothered to summon her!

In the midst of the dismayed Ironblood Chain Brigade soldiers, Inglis politely bowed.

Im told you can give us a ride to Charalia! I look forward to our trip.

O-, okay?

L-. looking closely

Sh-, shes hella cute even cuter than Lady Cystia, maybe?

Cmon guys, dont say that in front of Cystia, kay? She loathes little Inglis, after all.

From amongst the soldiers, Leon appeared.

I bear no hatred for her though?

Coz shes quick to lose temper, right?

Yes. I love people who love fighting.

Hahaha! You never change, even during such times. Though, thats why youre dependable right now.

It was then, Rafinha came in through the hangar onboard the Star Princess unit.

Mister Leon! Rather than this, have you spoken to Leone at all? We still have time!

No, time is of the essence right now. We gotta send you ASAP! Besides, I have no right to face her No matter how you spin it, fact is she went through hell cause of ol me. In fact, she might be lost with how to restore our familys name now that she knows the truth. Dang, Im a pathetic big bro

Leon awkwardly scratched the back of his head, turning away from Inglis and Rafinha.

Its okay. No matter what the circumstance is, I will still defeat my brother! Thats what she said.

Rani?

After learning the truth, Leone didnt say such a thing, but When Inglis looked at Rafinha puzzled, Rafinha made a shushing gesture at her.

I see No, thats good. Thats the best for her!

I lied.

Eeh?!

She told me that if we could save big bro Rafa, she could be more forgiving to you, Mister Leon, so she urged us to go.

! I see thats what she

Which one do you prefer?

Rafinha smiled mischievously at Leon.

Good gods, dont ask me such a mean question.

Leon raised both hands, seemingly giving up.

You can leave big bro Rafa to us. Thats why, Im not forcing you to do it now, but you should apologize to Leone and make up with her! Understood?!

Rafinha

Well, I wont be doing anything since its mostly Glis, though!

Its all right, Rani. My power is all yours to use, so think of me as your own power, okay?

Hahaha You two really are chummy! Man, I hope what you said is true, Rafinha!

Good! Now, lets hurry it up! Full speed ahead!

Come on, Rani! We are the guests here.

No, its fine! Rafinha has this strange charm that makes you want to listen to her! Come on, lets go! Were off!

In high spirits, Leon ordered the soldiers.

Roger!

In response, the soldiers scattered to their respective stations.

Now, Ill show you your cabin. But first here.

Leon handed Inglis and Rafinha a folded thick black garment.

What is this?

Inglis asked.

The uniform everyone is wearing. This is for female soldiers. With your clothes like that, everyones gonna gawk at you. Feel free to change if you want, or throw it away if you dont.

What do we do, Glis? Im conflicted

They were lending each other help for now, but the Ironblood Chain Brigade was an anti-Highland guerilla organization. From the standpoint of Charalia Knights, they were a conflicting group that must be defeated.

Even if only temporarily, Rafinha wasnt sure if they should be dressed in their uniform. The uniform itself was chic, so she wanted to try it on. Which was why she was concerned.

Why not? The clothes did nothing wrong!

Inglis liked the uniform just as much. Simply put, new clothes were always exciting. She could look at herself in the mirror and appreciate herself with a fresh experience. Which she would do the moment she had the chance.
