The battle on the Teyuba Mountains is over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The members of the 1st Combat Regiment descended to the surrounding ground and began to examine the corpses of the young dragons. The two F-4 Phantom fighters hovering above swung their wings twice and flew away.

Later, after receiving Itami's report, the team members who slipped into the interior of the volcano found the remains of the fire dragon, and finally confirmed that Duja's revenge was successful.

The Self-Defense Forces, accustomed to disaster relief, carefully contained and transported the remains of the Black Elves from inside the volcano. Moreover, in order to transport the corpses of Yanlong and the two young dragons to other places in the name of research, the lifting operation is also being carried out in an orderly manner.

At this time, Itami and the others sat shoulder to shoulder, looking at the scene.

Durga and Lelai were almost leaning on Itami, while Lori was asleep on his lap. As for Yao, she and Itami sat back to back, dumbfounded. Being betrayed by the gods she believed in seemed to be quite a heavy blow to her.

Eva watched them silently.

Whether it is joy or sorrow, it takes physical strength. Being so exhausted leads to emotional numbness, and the only thing left to do is to be there in a daze.

"We're still alive~"

"yes......"

As if muttering, Durga was the only one who responded to Itami.

She had the lowest level of fatigue of all people, as she had been asleep until the battle began.

But Eva simply didn't want to speak.

"I did. ”

"Well, my revenge is on. Duggard replied briefly.

"Don't call me father anymore, do you?"

Duggard looked at Itami slowly, and said in a tone that lacked frustration.

"Don't!"

"Why ......"

"I'm used to it!"

"Yes......" Itami thought, it didn't matter what happened.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Two weeks of suspension, one month pay cut......

As soon as he returned, Itami got the papers from his immediate boss, Hiragaki, and hung his shoulders weakly.

Forget it, although I have been mentally prepared for the results, but when I am actually punished, I can't help but be a little depressed.

The captains of the other reconnaissance teams didn't seem to look at Itami, and they were all absentmindedly busy with the copywriting work in their hands.

"One more, remove you from the position of captain of the third reconnaissance team!"

Hiragaki picked up a new file from the table and handed it to Itami - it turned out to be a dismissal order.

"Yes......"

"I don't know. Anyway, after all, you left your men behind and ran to go alone. After Hiragaki finished speaking, Itami had to nod his head.

"The above are all the results of the personnel sanctions. ”

Hiragaki told Itami this, and-

"Stand up!"

The command from behind made Itami straighten his back, and the others stood up in unison.

Along with the sound of footsteps coming from behind him was Lieutenant General Sayama.

On one side of the narrow room, female self-defense officers picked up the certificates from the black plates one by one.

"Lieutenant Itami. In view of your merits in rescuing the kidnapped (Japanese) hostages, you will be awarded a first-class award from the Minister of Defense (as if it were something similar to a first-class merit). ”

Sasama handed the certificate and medal to Itami.

"The next ones are from all over the SAR. First of all, His Majesty Duran, the king of the Elbe Domain, received it through the Japanese government, and then forwarded Lieutenant Itami's personal thank you - thank you very much for destroying the dragon. Therefore, I give you the title of [Qing], and you will be a noble lord in the future. Secondly, there are letters of thanks from the Shulz Forest and the Black Elf Patriarch Conference to the Self-Defense Forces Special Zone dispatch team and you personally. For yourself, give the title of Honorary Patriarch, and this thing!"

Sasama handed the rough diamond that Yao was holding in his hand to Itami.

Diamonds are the size of a human head and weigh deeply. If you convert it into money, it's just a lot, and maybe ten consecutive lottery jackpots and before and after the jackpot can be comparable.

"Human trafficking is a felony in Japan, so treat this girl named Yao as if she were a daughter!" As soon as Sasama finished speaking, Yao handed the certificate of ownership to Itami.

There is human trafficking in the Special Administrative Region, so of course there are documents proving personal ownership.

"Which one should come next? Dwarven Roubaix? Here's a thank you letter from there. There is also a thank you note from this place in Rezbam. Thank you letter from Toldi Village. Every letter is a thank you for your heroic deeds in destroying the Yan Dragon. Then ......"

Female self-defense officers continue to bring in scrolls, paper, and other things on lacquer plates.

The last letter was a piece of black parchment, and the parchment paper was sealed with black wax dripping on the black ribbon, which looked very ominous.

"Is there such a place for the Temple of Bernag? Alas, it doesn't matter......

Certificates, medals, rough diamonds, and a dozen certificates—Itami could barely hold it in both hands.

In this situation, even the parchment scrolls were shoehorned in.

Next, the last female self-defense officer handed a piece of paper to Sasama.

"There you have it, this is it. Given that you have done something that has been praised by all parties, it is not good for our reputation to just blindly punish you, and spread the word. Therefore, a new task is given to you. ”

"Lieutenant Itami, I appoint you as the head of the SAR Resource Situation Survey!

"Resource survey?"

"Well, the main job of this person in charge is to wander around the SAR casually, looking for useful resources. Isn't that the job you've always looked forward to?"

"It's ...... too"

"That's the end of the suspension, hurry up and take office (so casual!)!"

"Yes, yes!"

Sayama slapped Itami on the shoulder, and then left with the female self-defense officers who were with him.

Itami stood alone with a large pile of things in his arms, and the others seemed to treat him as a transparent person again, and went back to work.

However, this time some people snickered and glanced at Itami with a little jealousy, which made him both embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Ah, I'm sorry......"

As if it was a signal from Itami's words, and then from all directions, jealous scoldings such as "You bastard" were heard, and various paper files were thrown at the same time.
