Bruno Bangnyfe, the director of the Inks division of the Wing Bind, came out today to purge Balgo Parks, a normal young man who became a Dragonclad after prolonged contact with a Dragon and has a tendency to attract the very dangerous Dark Dragons.
Using Macy Baljure, a very rare Watcher, and her illegally reared Dragon, Bruno pinned the crime of endangering the normal people on Balgo Parks to get the justification for his execution.
The Witches who are tasked to look after Balgo, Ninny Spangcole, and Noel Niihashi, went against this purge directive and fought against the director of Inks to save the young man from this unfair judgment.
But in the middle of all of this, the illegally reared Dragon unexpectedly and suddenly molted into a Dragon categorized as Marchen, also known as the progenitor of Dark Dragons.
While in the middle of taking care of this legendary Dragon, a young lady with flaming red hair suddenly came in between them and blocked the Dragon's attack. Bruno Bangnyfe, in the height of his adrenaline, was very infuriated that someone disrupted his battle and saw the young lady as someone who came to steal his prey and achievement, "Huh!? Who are you brat!?"
The red-haired young lady ignored Bruno's outburst and just said in Japanese, "Boss, this guy has really lost their mind."
Ninny Spangcole, a green-eyed young woman with blond hair that she keeps tied up in two long pigtails with red, spiked metal bands, recognized the language and turn to her partner, Noel Niihashi, a tall, curvaceous teenage girl with blue eyes, waist-length black hair, long bangs, a perpetually solemn expression, and a small, white, horn-like extension on her left temple, "Niiha, that was Japanese, isn't it? What is she saying?"
"I don't know. I'm not fluent in Japanese."
"..." Ninny looked defeated by her 'Japanese' friend.
But all of a sudden, the witches and wizards heard another set of voices and it was directly behind them, "...Dragon Tamer?" "Smells like Asia."
Bruno, Noel, and Ninny hurriedly turned around and saw two black-haired ladies that had the same face as the red-haired one standing in front of Macy and Balgo.
"That I understood. She said 'Dragon Tamer'." Noel said calmly but she was tightly clutching her Witch Kit, the counterpart of a Zanpakuto in the east, in her hand, '...I didn't notice them?' Noel took a peek at Bruno and Ninny and saw that they also had a similar complicated expression.
Regardless, the Marchen known as 'Cinderella' won't wait for them and sends another gust of explosive dust.
"Tsk..." Bruno clicked his tongue and was about to intercept the attack with Noel and Ninny intending to support him from behind.
Fortunately or unfortunately for them, they didn't have to do anything as the red-haired lady in front of them suddenly sighed while raising her right arm, "Too deep in resentment that you've already lost the meaning of what it means to be a Dragon. Even the worst of the Evil Dragons still have their pride."
This time, the lady in front of them was speaking in English. But before they could comprehend what she meant, she suddenly swung her raised arm down and a red wave was ejected from her hand, cutting through the dust unimpeded until reaching the white rampaging Dragon and cutting it in half.
"!?"
"Are you fine with that?"
This time, a masked man with long black hair appeared and talked to the lady.

Kisuke silently watched the Dragons do their thing and when Flanna killed the feathered white Dragon, he appeared beside her, "Are you okay with that?" He understood why Flanna suddenly started talking in English so he did the same.
"That was no Dragon. It's just a monster that lost itself and has no intention of admitting it's lost." Flanna threw her hands on the back of her head, "I've lost my interest. I'll go to Sera-chan."
Flanna didn't wait for Kisuke and just flew off in a certain direction.
"W-wait!" Bruno wanted to stop the flying lady but when he tried to follow, he found that his partner and Dragon mount, Rickenbacker, refused to move, "Huh? Rickenbacker?"
But what his partner sent back was the contradictory feeling of dread and respect, "...What?"
"Ophis-chan, Lilith-chan, let's go," Kisuke called out to the other two bothering the young man and his small dog that was emitting the aura of a Dragon.
Kisuke then turned to the Dragon corpse and took half of it, 'The Patchwork Division should be able to do their job even with just half the corpse.'
As Ophis and Lilith came to his side, Kisuke pivoted towards the Witches and Wizards riding their Dragons, "I apologize for the disturbance that we've caused."
After a short apology, Kisuke used Teleportation Magic and the three of them disappeared.
"Hey..." Ninny raised her voice softly, "What was that? And my Marshall couldn't move."
"I don't know." Noel shook her head, "But my Wordsworth also refused to move."
Bruno jumped down from his mount and patted Rickenbacker's head, "I don't know about those three twerps, but I'm pretty sure that the masked man is a Shinigami from the way he stands in the air."
" "Shinigami?" " Noel and Ninny asked. Although they knew about them, they hadn't seen one in their short life as newbie Witches.
"Do your research if you want to know. But before that, contact the Patchwork Division to take care of the corpse. I'll go report to the Gallows."

Kisuke, Ophis, and Lilith reappeared inside of a hotel room that Serafall had rented out to let the kids rest.
"How is it?"
Kisuke dispelled his disguise and sat down, "Based on Flanna's reaction, not that great."
"Really? That's unexpected." Serafall looked at Flanna lying down on one of the beds.
From this, Kisuke could see the difference between the Dragon God and the True Dragon.
While Ophis and Lilith were more interested in 'small' Dragons, Flanna's attention was mostly on the strong ones.
"I don't know what you're dissatisfied about but I think that's how the Dragons of this world operate." Kisuke approached Flanna while explaining, "Dragons can't come into contact with normal people, dead or alive, because they are like sponges that easily absorb negative emotion. Those are called Dark Dragons and they are targets of extermination."
"It's not that Boss. I already figured that out when I landed my eyes on it. I just don't like how it wasted its potential just to act like an unintelligent animal. It just dreamt of death and destruction as if it's not alive."
"Is that so? It's probably a lot more complicated than that so let's figure out more about it."
Flanna turned her head to Kisuke, surprised, "Aren't you busy?"
"This is a trip with all of us. My goal is not your goal. If you want to do something, just tell me. I'll help out. That's the least I could do."
Ophis then suddenly raised her hand and excitedly said, "Let's make a hidden base! I want a castle on a floating island!"
