"Damn sir... you quite very luck." Takeo exclaimed with a hint of envy in his eyes, while Itami only look back with a wry gaze as he slightly shift when Itami felt a brief sudden movement in his lap.

"Why are we bringing her with us again anyway?" Shino questioned looking at the new occupant that was riding along side them... sitting on Itami's lap with a bright and unreadable smile etched on their new occupant sitting on Itami's lap.

"We didn't... but Lelei suggested that we just bring her along since she is well known by the natives." Itami replied as he looked a bit uncomfortable with the way that their guest was looking at him.

"Besides they do not seem her as hostile, so I don't see any problem bringing her along." Soichiro added while looking at the army Sirens and Cavaliers that is following just behind their own vehicle.

It has been a while now since they have gained a new member... said member is a bit provocative and teasing to their leader as some of them had noticed just moments ago when they brought her in.

"As if there's anything that can challenge them on an equal footing." Shino remarked knowing that no one in this world could stand a chance against the Celestial Directorate and it's own forces.

"If that were possible I doubt they live to tell the tale." Itami replied already imagining the fate of that fool who tried to challenge the Celestial Directorate only for them to die, without resistance.

"True, by the way did anyone know who killed that dragon?" Takeo questioned being confuse at what exactly happened to the dragon that had tried to assault the caravan that they were all escorting.

"No ideas... but I can tell that it is one of them." Shino replied pointing at the Sirens and Cavaliers as the likely culprit who had taken out an apartment size dragon that the villagers now harvested.

Dragons scales of that quality is deemed very rare and expensive due to the incredible durability it possess which was used to make powerful armor that most noble in the empire would fight to be able to purchase such rare materials.

Though for Itami and his teammates the scales were useless as they could easily be penetrated by anti-tank rounds or missiles but for the Celestial Directorate it be nothing more than scrap to them as it can't survive against their weaponries.

Nothing in this world would be deemed valuable by the Celestial Directorate most see it as just materials for jewelry ornament rather than for military purpose... which was a useless material.

Most mineral that Falmart possesses are of low quality and unimportant with no practical use for the Celestial Directorate and given it was scarce kind of resource Itami concluded that they wouldn't care about the exotic material.

Though it still made them wonder. What kind of weapon was used against the dragon as Mari noticed what was likely the dragon's nervous system was burned off from the inside... which speaks volumes of what weapon used against it.

A weapon most shuddered to imagine as they had seen it's brain completely fried beyond recognition... it was completely charred... it's inner organs were reduced to charcoal and ashes inside of it's body.

The scarred veins that looked like tattoo on its skin was noticeable after they had investigated what killed the dragon... it was a horrendous weapon that kills the inside, rather than the outside part of it.

A gruesome yet effecfive way to kill any target without the need to leave a mess, a dried husk would be more appropriate to describe of what was left of the target once they were eliminated.
