13 Coda town and a rocket.

[The morning of the next day]

At the base of the fifth division, Itami was being informed about the decision to investigate the people, industry, religion and politics of the region where they were, for which he would be put in charge of one of the six investigation teams. reconnaissance and their mission would be to contact the people in the area that would be assigned to them and determine their nature and, if possible, establish friendly relations with them.

Which is why Second Lieutenant Youji Itami. He was given command of the third reconnaissance team.

And that brings us to this moment where Itami is introducing himself as the new commander of the third recon team.

Old Man: "Formed! Third Recon Team, reporting!"

(From what I remember itami called him that way.)

"old man" itami replied somewhat relieved that at least he knew someone from his new squad.

And with that said I will completely skip the introductions of all but the two female members of the squad.

Shino Kuribayashi is a beautiful young woman with a small body with a height of 160 cm with brown hair with a ponytail on the left side although right now it was not visible due to wearing a military helmet in addition to having brown eyes, with breasts. huge and a slender waist. (You don't ask where the data came from, I'm just assuming her height.).

While her partner Mari Kurokawa is a beautiful young woman who is 175cm tall with beautiful flowing black hair that is tied in a half hanging ponytail. on her right shoulder by a blue ribbon with square bangs hanging over her forehead, while she has a single long strand on the right side as well as having blue eyes.

But putting this aside, itami decided to continue with his introduction.

"I'm Itami, captain of the third reconnaissance squad." He said out loud while muttering to himself under his breath. "All for missing the shinbashi yurikamome, and now I'm a captain." was what he mumbled to himself only for moments later he continued to speak. "Well, let's go" was what he said with a sigh only to be interrupted by a voice he instantly recognized.

"Would it be too much trouble if I joined your unit, Itami ?" kei ask after all for him it was a surprise that they were already there because from what he remembered the expedition, which would take place at that time, should not have happened so fast and it was by pure chance that he came to this place at this precise moment, which showed that the plot armor was doing its job very well.

"Of course I don't think there will be any problem after all, you are also a scientist and we could use a little of your help." replied itami in a carefree way, after all, even if he wanted to he knew there was no way to refuse, he was very clear about the individual value that kei had and he was also clear about the threat that he meant, after seeing the great destruction he did in just after crossing the portal.

"Thank you very much Itami." kei replied with a foxy smile after all itami showed it on his face, even if he tried to hide it, things like that kei wouldn't let it slide and much less with all the skills he now had, but with that said kei decided to introduce himself "Well, it's nice to meet you all and although I'm sure most of you know me from the events of yesterday's fight, I'll still introduce myself. My name is Kei Kirasaki, current head of the Kirasaki family and the lady who is my side is esdeath my maid and girlfriend." Kei said, attracting the excited gaze of most of them, although there were two who, instead of looking at him in amazement, seemed to be in some kind of trance with a small blush on their cheeks and with their pupils fully dilated.

*clap* *clap* (full HD sound effects again XD)

"Well save the questions for another time, we have to go now." Itami said after giving two claps to get everyone's attention and to get them out of the astonishment of some and the trance of others.

Letting out a tired sigh, Itami muttered to himself, "I hope this expedition ends as quickly as possible. I'm missing a lot of events." and though he mumbled low so no one would hear him, kei did.

So kei decided to give him a warning, while the others got into their vehicles and while esdeath brought the vehicle that would transport them, kei decided to get closer only for him to immediately walk past him since esdeath somehow returned to the place where I was almost immediately. "Itami you know well that you just raised a death flag right?" I said in a cheerful way as I walked away.

To which itami responded by rolling his eyes while at the same time he thought that he was quite right, because after all no one would believe before that the Japan Self-Defense Forces would be exploring a whole new world which seems to be taken from a fairy tale, so his comment was logical so that it was possible but he better decided to leave it aside, because, after all, it is not that if out of nowhere they were going to fight a dragon right?, so without thinking too much he got on his car and the expedition began.

And all this happened in the morning for which in all their journey they managed to reach the town of Coda at noon which was the only settlement of which they were aware. (I don't know if it's that way, I'm just making it up XD)

In which it was Mari Kurokawa who made the first contact with the locals since she gives off vibes of an older sister or loving mom which made them perfect for the job although while they were doing this kei decided to get off and investigate a little, finding By accident an animal which looked like the combination of a squirrel and a dog which did not stop following him everywhere, but while he was walking through the town a girl approached the animal, only for moments later to pick him up and to take him in the direction where Kurokawa was only to hand him over and for her to pet him like a dog which immediately gave him a feeling of deja vu.

But while all this was happening in the background, Itami was getting the information on where another settlement was supposed to be found, and that was how after two hours in the coda village they were able to continue on their way to the elf settlement although the only one that he knew it was kei.

But while they were on their way to the settlement kei suddenly stopped talking to esdeath and got up from his seat only for him to immediately tell ciel to stop which caused a big ruckus by kei's car suddenly stopping. which was right behind itami's which was at the head of the formation.

So immediately after getting out of the car, Kei turned his gaze to the sky, in which at first glance there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, but if you had binoculars or a camera you would be able to see the great silhouette of the dragon, but to the bad luck of others. The silhouette of the dragon, given the speed at which it was advancing, quickly disappeared into the clouds.

"Is something wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?" Itami asked after reaching the place where Kei was.

"Yes, I think we should speed up the pace, it's almost dark now and it might be a good idea to spend the night in the next settlement and it will also help us to obtain more exact information." Kei replied completely avoiding the second question.

"Okay, we'll go faster but it'll still take a while to get there after all we don't know the road conditions." Itami answered without trying to put more pressure on Kei, although he had a very bad feeling and this was as strong as the day he was enlisted to do the training of an S soldier (special forces group.)

And with that said everyone got back into their vehicles and continued on their way but right now we're going to focus on a conversation itami was having with one of the filler characters right at sunset.

"But how come we got all this state-of-the-art equipment and vehicles also weren't these supposed to be experimental?" asked the guy itami calls old.

"Well that we must thank our dear sponsor" itami said while making a gesture with his hand pointing behind clearly implying who he was referring to "I don't think there is any problem with leaving the equipment abandoned, after all they can't replicate since somehow everything that was created by him, no one else can investigate or alter in any way because it is immediately destroyed without a trace."

"I guess with this he ensures his own safety as the sole distributor and his place politically speaking." the old man shared his opinion.

"Yes and I don't blame him after all, any government other than him would have used this kind of technology for other purposes, plus he can't get gps to work here either since there are no satellites in orbit." itami said nonchalantly.

At that moment a voice was heard over the radio.

"Oh! I didn't take that into account, don't worry, I'll fix it right away." Kei said happily.

"Thank you very much…. Oh! wait how long have you been listening to us!?!?" Itami asked after his brain had processed the fact that I had answered his request and that I had most likely heard them speak.

But to his bad luck kei had already cut off communications.

[Inside Kei's car]

"Well it looks like we'll have to show off some of the tricks on this vehicle, darling you do me the honors." Kei said with gratitude to Ciel since she was the one who included the rocket inside the car.

"Of course darling~~~" said ciel

So that right after the two cars that were behind kei, they saw how a hatch in the back opened so that right after a blue light came out of it, a light which was getting more and more intense.

"redirecting 20 percent of the reactor's power to the electromagnetic accelerator." Said Ciel, as it is something made by her, there is no need to have any delicacy, regarding speed.

"All parameters stable, launch will proceed immediately." Ciel said to which esdeath and kei only managed to hear a buzz, so that later they did not hear anything and thought that the launch had not been achieved.

But just as Kei was about to ask, Ciel spoke up "launch completed estimated time for orbit placement and setup is 2 minutes." Ciel said so that a hologram would immediately appear in front of them and show them the trail that the rocket was leaving, which was a very striking bright blue trail.

"Kei, were you the one who shot that thing?!?" asked itami somewhat alarmed, after all you don't always see an object shot into the sky leaving a blue trail, plus they lost sight of it as quickly as it appeared.

"Yes, there is nothing to worry about, soon we will be able to use all the electronics and also the internet." kei replied without giving it much importance.

"oh!!! that's fine just let me know next time you do something like that." itami replied trying to hide his excitement failing miserably, after all he was excited because he would finally have access to the internet again to check his games, so he decided to completely forget what kei did for the sake of his games. "Also get ready, we are about to enter the forest and it seems we arrived at a bad time." Itami said because a large cloud of smoke could be seen in the distance.

"Understood!" the two cars behind kei answered.

'Well I guess we'll have to take more survivors, although I don't think there will be many, after all it seems that they will have been attacked for some time' Kei thought, although he didn't care much, the only thing that mattered to him was that at least Tuka's dad is still alive, but if for some reason someone else stays alive until the moment he arrives, he wouldn't mind helping them.

So with that in mind kei spoke to ciel."Ciel when the satellite is in orbit send a message to the family and inform them that we will take refugees."

"Ah what do you mean master kei?" esdeath asked, all this time she's been wondering why kei was behaving so strangely after he suddenly stopped the car.

"Sorry esdeath I forgot to explain." said kei to then explain how he could feel that something large the size of a building passed over them and that it was heading in the same direction, thus explaining why it is that he suddenly stopped the car and also said that this was the reason why who believed that they would have to take refugees, after all the settlement where they are going was in the forest.

But for her part, esdeath scolded herself for not being intelligent enough to decipher kei's plans and what was she thinking besides that with the explanation that kei gave her, esdeath in her mind put kei on a pedestal higher and although even for her it was strange to think this way esdeath faithfully believes that she has to help kei even in the smallest things no matter what and this was not because she was his maid, no, this was because she loves him with all her being and although she does not show it she knows that he is more than satisfied by her mere presence and this is not about her being a trophy or something like that, he literally changes his mood when he is with her for which she doesn't mind staying by his side.
