Half an hour passed since we leave the base. Karen took the driver's duty while I sit next to her, listening to Itami squad squabbling between themselves which was funny. We just left the Coda village. Good thing that I already learn the language of this world along with my girls. It was easy for me to learn it just by hearing our prisoners talk to each other.
"The sky's so blue! As expected of a different world." said Itami, his walkie talky already on.
"This kind of scenery, there are many places like this in Hokkaido." said Kurata to his word.
"Aaah, I imagine Dragon and Fairies flying around. Everyone we've met so far is just a Human. What a bummer!" he continues.
"You really want to meet with Cet-Eared girls so much huh?" answer Itami.
" It's not like I just want to meet catgirl, it would be good even if I just meet with a voluptuous sorceress." Kurata answer.
"Then you just not looking enough! There are a sorceress live in Coda Village just now you know!" I said through the com and he was shocked.
"Ehh, Aikawa-san! Is what you said really true?" he asked.
"Yeah, but she's not voluptuous like what you want though. She is more toward Itami preference of Mahou Shoujo. A flat chest sorceress!" I said.
"Eehh, Taicho you like Mahou Shoujo?" asked Kurata.
"Ahh Yeah, Emyuu of Meicon" he answer.
"Seriously?"
"Hmm, what is this. If you dare to badmouth about my wife I'll get angry you know!" said Itami.
"But, you know I also can sing the opening song!" said Itami subordinate Tomita through the Com. "Imma Sugu, Meicon Meicon!"
"Whoah, you sing it!" said Itami.
"I also want to sing!" shouted Haruna through the com and they start to sing together.
"By the way, Ayumu!" said Itami.
"Hmm?"
"What with that uniform?" he asked me.
"How it is? Good right?" I asked.
"You look like you're going to a Cosplay event!" he answer.
"Hahaha, of course it is! I take the inspiration from Anime when designing it."
"Which one?"
"Forgot about it, I just search for cool anime military uniform and combined the one I like." I answer him.

Not long after, I see a fire in front of us.
"Oi, Itami! There seems to be a forest fire in front of us and from looking in the map that seems to be an Elf settlement!" I said to him.
"I will go there to look for survivors. You all stay here!" I said as we stop the car.
"Saras, Haruna, Kurisu, and Karen come with me. Your ability will help stop the fire!" I said and we teleport toward the forest.
As soon as we touch down we see a Dragon breathing fire to the elf settlement while the elf was fighting it using a Bow and Magic.
"Saras, Karen put the fire out! Haruna and Kurisu help the elf. Leave the Dragon to me!" I said before taking out Yamato.
Although I can just defeat it with Gate of Babylon by firing the anti-Dragon weapon. But, that was too boorish and I like it more to fight it on.
"Are you okay with taking out those things yourself?" asked Kurisu in concern with the other nodded at her question.
"Heh, that's the thing Kurisu. Dragon is just a bigger Swallows. If it was cutting Swallows I am quite a master in it." I said with a smirk.
Taking a stance I shouted with all my concentration. "Hiken, Tsubame Gaeshi!"
Slashing Yamato out, three strikes come out at the same time. One on the wing, one on its chest, and the last one on its neck. I dodge the strike and I only cut off its hand and blinded one of its eyes. Knowing that itself being dominated, the Dragon fly away to run and I go after it. But, it fly too high so I let it go as we will meet again later.
I look back to see that Saras and Karen have already put down the fire and now helping Haruna and Kurisu in saving the Elf.
"You girls work fast!" I said as I defeat the Dragon as fast as I can but they also finished their job in the same amount of time that I defeated it.
"It was easy with the help of Magic." answer Kurisu.
"How are the Survivors?" I asked her.
"I don't know we are about to have a talk with the Elder who was now counting the one that survived." as we talk one of the Elf comes over to me.
"Thank you for saving our Village. Can we know the name of our savior?" he said while bowing with the rest of the elf follow after him. I count over them and find out there are fifty people that survive the attack.
"You are welcome! It is quite fortunate that we just passed over this village when we see the attack. My name is Aikawa Ayumu, we come from the other side of the Gate that the Empire open up." I told him.
"I see! We want to give our Savior a welcoming party. But, as you can see our condition is not good for that kind of activity." he said with sorrow. " We also have to bury the dead that was killed by the Dragon."
"Hmm, If you don't mind. Why don't you people come with us? We from the other side has technology to bring back the dead as long as we have the body and it is not too long from the time of their deaths." I said and he was surprised by the news.
"Is it okay? What do we have to pay for this?" he asked cautiously. Must be because of human interaction with this world human.
"Hmm, you people don't have anything I want except yourself. I want you to be a citizen of my country. You see, our world from the other side did not have many other intelligent race besides humans. So, if we can bolster our civilization with more race it would be good." I said to him.
"But, is it okay with the other human? From our interaction with humans so far over here. They were greedy and did not like other races so much." he said.
"I won't deny that we are greedy. As for being racists, you don't have to be afraid. The people in our country will most likely love you races instead of hating. You will see it yourself when you come. You also will have my protection as I was the one that invite you!" I held him. He is still hesitating but was cut out of his musing by one of his people.
"Elder, why don't we just go first so we can save our dead comrades. We can think about his offer after we see his country with our own eyes!" he said, and I look at him with appreciation. But, when I look closely he seems to be Tuka father that sacrifice himself just to make Tuka survive. Behind him there is Tuka looking at me with curiosity.
"This, is this okay with you Mr. Aikawa?" he asked.
"Of course, I can't just force you to make decisions for your race survival without thinking about it." I said and we start to mingle. While I already contact the other to come over. I also did not forget to call EVA to send us a frigate class Space Ship to bring the Elf back to the base.
Not long after the other arrived here. Kurata and Itami were gushing over meeting an Elf. Eu seeing the injured immediately go help healing them with her magic.
The Elf girl that Itami try to talk laughs at them funnily as they did not understand what Itami and Kurata was talking about. The Elder and Tuka father look at them and asked me.
"What are they talking about?" they asked.
"Hahaha, the idiots are trying to impress them. Even though they don't know your language. Even though there is no Elf in our world, we have literature that talks about it and our people quite like about Elf. That what will happen when you live in my country. You will be adored by people." I said.
"You says that there is no Elf over there. How come you know about an Elf if that what you say." the Elder asks with Tuka walking closer to hear our conversation.
"Hmm, I don't know about that. But, I have a theory about it." I said and the look at me attentively along with my girls that also quite curious as they also from the supernatural side in our world and they haven't met with an Elf once in their lives.
"Maybe, we also have an Elf that lives with us in the past. But, like right now. There is a gate open up to the other world close to their village and they come over there. But, the gates close up not long after they arrived here so they were stranded here from then on any live hereafter!" I said my theory and they nodded at it.
"That actually might be accurate! From the record of our history we know that our race comes here from Alnus. Our ancestors might have crossed over the gate in the past." the Elder said making connection with my Theory.
It was after another five minutes of talk that the Space Ship arrived. I send the Elf along with Karen ahead to help them. I still have other objectives from coming here which is meeting Rory on the way back. So, I will go with Itami back.
