"Air Asset, Air Asset, Grimm 4-1-6, good work, good work, the area has been clean"

("Copy, return to Headquarters")

In space, three A-10A Thunderbolt planes began to raise altitude and fly away from the city.

The sight where the pile of shattered bodies were everywhere was something they had to endure until the cleaning operation began.

In the midst of confusion, fear and anxiety of the people there, the King and the royal knights who arrived at the location along with Amane Rin and Shizuku Houki, the king, starting to approach Tokiwaki who seemed very happy about something.

"They're from our world, right?"

Houki began to whisper to Rin who was still in disbelief at what he saw, in front of them eighteen humans with much more modern equipment than this era seemed to be watching around, looking around, some of them walked up to the injured residents and started to take care of them

"I'm not wrong, they're from our world"

Rin replied when he saw the flag logo on their right arm, modern military clothes complete with the weapons they used, not to mention the aircraft they had just witnessed, it has become a real proof that they are really soldiers of their world.

Tokiwaki himself, he seemed quite excited along with their world army, he was not as usual where normally Tokiwaki always behaved as if everything would be fine, but this time...

'Jeez, he's like a kid '

Houki smiled when he saw how happy he was with them.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt you"

The royal knights began to march as the figure of the adult man with iron armor walked towards them.

Rin and Houki immediately quietly tried to behave as usual where he was respectful to the nobility

The worry that is in the minds of everyone here except the Marines, is the fact that Rosella who is the queen of demons is currently together with humans who come from another world.

Houki and Rin begin to wonder what and why Rosella is together with their world army.

"Gentlemen, I am the King of this kingdom, I, as the supreme ruler here, am very grateful for what you did to save our city from disaster"

Said the King to the Marines and Navy SEALs who stared at him shortly after saluting.

Jad and Fujiwara began to walk before the King while giving a head bow once as a sign of respect.

"Include me, Lieutenant Fujiwara, we came from the same world as the humans who are by your side today. I'm also sure you have questions for us, so can we come here for a while?"

"Of course, I'm very happy to welcome you here, I mean"

The king then glanced at Rosella who seemed to not care and remained standing beside Jonathan in silence.

"You, Miss Rosella"

"Humf" Rosella replied in a haughty tone still unconcerned if the King tried to greet her respectfully.

'May he don't cause trouble'

Jonathan's prayer when he saw the look on Rosella's upset face that seemed ready to explode in anger, it was only natural that he felt very upset, his kingdom has always been in conflict with the human kingdom of this world so it is very natural that Rosella feels very unacceptable if she is here.

Delta Headquarters, 0624 Local time, February 2023

Health Check Room.

"Are you okay, Riria?"

The 19-year-old girl shortly after entering the room, began to ask the girl who was sitting on the bed of the treatment room.

The half-British and Japanese blonde girl sat on her bed with a sad look.

"Ryria?"

Suzu began to sit next to the mattress with a worried face, both of whom were wearing patient clothes seemed to start to improve after experiencing severe anemia due to losing a lot of magical power.

"Nothing, I'm just confused what to do"

"Buddy?"

Seeing Riria's blank face, Suzu began to worry about what was bothering her friend's mind during their time in this world.

Riria soon starts picking things up from inside her bed blanket where she shows her long-dead phone running out of battery, seeing Riria who pulled out her phone Suzu began to assume that Riria could turn on her phone and get news about their world, but Riria's expression that still looks empty began to make her a little uncomfortable.

"I used to think that my parents never thought about raising me, I always assumed that my servants didn't even care about me"

Riria's phone starts to turn on, in front of Suzu he saw a variety of news flashes and even a variety of communications trying to get into his phone.

Riria began to cry when she saw one of the news that came to her social media where the message was about someone who died.

"I'm a fool, right?"

Suzu knew very well what Riria was feeling at this moment.

Looking at the crying Riria, Suzu knew what news Riria had gotten from her phone, but what about her?

In her pocket, Suzu still has her old phone, each of them still keeping their old phone as it is the only memento they have of planet earth, but this time, it is, they can go home, will Suzu be brave and mentally ready if she receives news about her family who are worried about her?

The question managed to silence her, Suzu and Riria were still silent in the treatment room where not a single voice came out from the two.

At first they thought that this was some kind of adventure in another world where they were kind of protagonists in a legend, but as time went on, they were made aware of a reality where, as time went on, they were conscious of, they are ordinary people who have their own limitations.

They are still naive children and that is what bothers them every day.

Operation Room and Command, Delta Headquarters.

"First Class Warrant Officer, give me a report on the results of the two girls' health check"

Lieutenant General Norman orders when he finishes seeing reports about operations in the city.

Early in the morning at the headquarters, at 0700 local time, Lieutenant General Norman began reading written reports from the medical team about the two girls.

"Sir, the medical team did not find any symptoms of foreign diseases in the body of both, from the report of the results of the examination while they looked physically fine, he said, only they are undernourished due to dietary factors in this world that do not seem to meet the standards"

"Then, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

The First Class Warrant Officer then handed over his tablet where he showed them the results of the recent background investigation of the two and what happened during their disappearance

"As you can see Lieutenant General, news of their disappearance still seems to be spreading in the Japanese police network, one of the five most striking ones being Sarashiki Riria"

Lieutenant General read about the background of Riria where this girl is the daughter of one of the military branch companies engaged in the production of munitions, the loss of Riria caused the public to be a little shaken especially no clue about the loss of Riria added a sense of community mistrust to the authorities.

'It would be a serious matter if we didn't act cautiously about them'

Seeing how complicated the problem was, the Lieutenant General who initially thought he would return them within 2 months from now, had to step back in time to prepare a reason he could give to the public about how they could find Riria.

"We put that matter aside first, what about the status of Raidsoc and Alpha Company?"

The officer then returned to his seat where he sat among the five other officers in this command room.

The officer in charge of monitoring the condition as well as the air assets, began to speak to the Lieutenant General clearly about the development of the situation that XO Jad had just reported.

"Sir, According to Jad's report, the team is currently in the castle of the king of this world along with the demon queen Rosella, there seems to be no problem to date, there seems to be no problem, should I ask them to report in detail about the meeting?"

"Sure, order him not to act anything that causes our position to be hostile to them"

"understand"

"For now, keep an eye on the progress, I'll be out for a minute"

As the Lieutenant General began to exit the operating room, the rest of the room returned to work in their respective positions, along the way to the temporary building of the hospital section, and, The Lieutenant General can see the Combat Engineers who are still busy with their respective tasks where they are busy building land and air defense fortifications and building temporary ports for Aegis ships and supply ships.

The airbase also seems to be being worked on by engineers without stopping, if all is in accordance with the plan, then this headquarters will be fully completed in one month.

'I doubt we can even stay here for a year'

"Commander General, what can I help you with"

Welcome the medics who happened to be in the corridor

"I want to see the two girls, can I see them?"

"By pleasure, come with me"

She and Norman begin to walk towards the treatment room where Riria and Suzu are currently, in silence Norman began to stare at the door where the two patients were currently.

"Lieutenant General, I'm sorry"

"Thank you"

As he walked into the room, the two girls who looked glum at something, immediately turned their eyes towards him.

"Miss, how are you guys doing"

"Y.yes! We're good!"

Suzu immediately stood up in a strange pose where she was seen standing as if facing a creepy person.

"Don't be too rigid, son, please sit down, I just want to check your situation"

Norman began to walk towards them while taking the chair in the corner of the room, as he sat beside the mattress, this time the atmosphere did not feel tense between them.

As Norman sat down beside Riria, Riria began to look at the Norman General who looked like he was ready to ask questions about what he wanted to know.

"Commander General, may I ask why and what America is doing here? How the hell did you get here?"

The question he anticipated came towards him, Norman nodded slightly at the question, Suzu listened in silence to what Norman explained to the two of them.

"We're here on a mission to observe some sort of portal anomaly in the middle of the Pacific, but because the anomaly acts like a bridge of sorts, our government decided to send us here, that's all I can explain to you"

What Norman is saying is the truth but details like OPSEC are very unlikely to be revealed to teenagers like them

"That's it, yeah"

Said Riria in a half-slow tone, looking at the grim face of Riria, Norman began to suspect if something had happened to his family.

Until he remembered what the Waran officer had said about Sarashiki Riria's information.

'Did he hear about his family on earth?'

He thought as he stared at the mobile phone located on the table.

"Lieutenant General Norman, can I go home now"

".... Unfortunately we can't return you right now, you have to be here for a while"

The gloomy face of Riria was increasingly visible on his face, Lieutenant General Norman who knew a little about the background of the five of them, could not comment anything but silently look at Riria.

...****************...

'His father died of a stroke and from what I know, the maids in the mansion kept looking for his whereabouts'

Lieutenant General Norman began to read the news topics that appeared in various articles. Given this situation, it was highly unlikely for him nor the Ministry of Defense to take any reckless action by repatriating them without any preparation.

At least the process of making a much more reasonable excuse takes quite a long time.

The Pentagon is still silent about the existence of the world in this alien Solar System, if this situation gets to NASA's ears then everyone will panic because alien life that they had thought did not exist, it turns out to exist in this universe.

The Lieutenant General began to walk the other way where he headed to the helicopter runway while he would meet and ask the Admiral about the actions of the Admiral who was considered unethical.

The situation in the Human City stabilized as the Marines began a clean-up operation of the chaos created by the impromptu attack that night.

Navy SEALs and a joint team sent by Delta Headquarters also helped in treating civilians injured in the attack.

Elsewhere, in the royal castle, the Alpha Company and the Three Summoned Heroes seemed to be waiting for the King to enter the Throne room, awkwardness enveloping the three summoned heroes, one reason is the fact that Demon Queen Rosella is here with four strange humans in strange uniforms that no one has ever seen.

But for those three heroes, that strange human was a human they knew very well where it came from.

"Gentlemen, once again I thank you for saving our city"

Said the king while sitting on the throne seat, the man who looked around in his 40s looked elegantly sitting staring at the marines who stood without kneeling respectfully like the knights here.

"No problem, we're also here because there's a special interest"

"Is that so? Personally I really want to give you something for what you're doing, do you want something I can grant you?"

Lt. Fujiwara and Jad, both of whom were facing the King, began to turn their eyes toward the three humans standing beside the King, three of whom looked like teenagers at the age of 18 or 19.

"I'd like to speak privately with the three heroes who are here"

Said Jad in a clear tone with a gaze he directed at the three teenagers.

"......."

Seeing the request from Jad, the King slightly raised his eyebrows, but when he wanted to speak, the King chose to remain silent.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll allow you to use the main room as a meeting place"

King said, after he finished speaking, the two strange humans saluted and walked towards the main entrance where the rest of the strange human team was waiting.

"Tokiwaki, are they also from your world?"

As Fujiwara and Jad walked out of the room, the King immediately spoke to Tokiwaki who looked as if looking forward to their meeting.

"Yes, they're from our world, they're soldiers from a country called the United States"

"Ho?"

The king seemed interested in this topic, but for Houki himself, he was worried about why Rosella could be with the American soldier.

"Ehm, I'm sorry if I interrupt, is it okay to let Rosella be in this town, Your Majesty?"

Houki who could not help his worries immediately asked this matter, for two years they were assigned to defend and eradicate the Demon Queen but why was the Demon Queen here

"I also want to know that, but from what I see, it seems that Rosella has no other intentions to the kingdom. Anyways....."

The king began to think of the posibility of having another demon lord who was actually their main enemy but they were unaware of that to this day.

...****************...

"Ahhh bored~"

Rosella de Voir Junois, the Demon Queen, is currently sitting on Jonathan's back where this morning, the Team who had at least finished cleaning up, began to rest for a while

For Rosella herself, she was so bored that she had to disturb Jonathan who was enjoying his daydream.

"Yes Jona"

"gh"

Jonathan, who is called Jona by Rosella, can only complain in silence when Rosella is casually leaning on his back.

"What?"

Rosella stared at the sky for a while before she answered Jonathan.

"That flying iron thing, is it made of magic?"

"You mean that plane? Well, it has nothing to do with magic at all"

"Hooo's?~ Attractive"

Rosella is increasingly showing interest in what they have, and whenever Rosella behaves like this, Jonathan must refrain from swearing at Rosella's upcoming rain of questions.

'The language barrier we have is also very annoying'

He thought as he had to open a book to be able to talk to those in this world.
