Yahiro and Iroha finally arrive in Kyoto, only to find the head of Galerie Berith waiting for them. The man has conspired to take the Relict Regalia from Karura Myoujiin, and prepares to invade the Imperial compound. To rescue Karura, Yahiro and Iroha infiltrate the compound, and in the process come to know the truth about the dragon mediums and the reality of their world. At the same time, Sui Narusawa finally opens her eyes.

Three years after the ploutonion closed, the world that narrowly escaped destruction has steadily rebuilt itself. Though they saved everyone, Yahiro and Iroha's whereabouts are unknown. One day, peace is disrupted when Gallery Berith receives information that moujuu have reappeared. Meanwhile, on an unnamed island in the south, Yahiro and Iroha have been kicking back and taking it easy. A mysterious girl washes up on their island, and Iroha has her guard up--the girl seems to know quite a bit about Yahrio and the reality of their world. Not to mention the girl is being targeted by monsters. Not the moujuu, but a new creature entirely.

Yahiro and the gang head to Kyoto hoping to figure out how to turn the Japanese populace back into humans. When Galerie Berith’s armored train stops in Nagoya, the Chinese Federal Army, the current occupant of the former Nagoya Station, demands that the Galerie surrender Vanagloria’s Regalia in exchange for safe passage. By that time, the powerful Relict has fused with Ayaho, and handing over one of Iroha’s siblings is the last thing they’d do. Can they protect her, negotiate their way out of the situation, and defend against a herd of Moujuu all at once?

Yahiro Narusawa once lived alone in the ruins of Tokyo, but things have changed for him in the blink of an eye. Now his job is to protect a dragon medium—a girl named Iroha who wields the power of fire and the ability to summon a dragon. Yahiro’s sister, Sui, is also a dragon medium and responsible for the cataclysm that destroyed Japan. He’s been searching for her all this time, and he’s finally discovered that she’s allied with the shadowy organization Ganzheit. Determined to kill Sui for what she’s done, Yahiro agrees to work with arms dealer Galerie Berith to eliminate both her and the dragons. That said, Yahiro won’t have any trouble finding them, because the dragon mediums and their Lazaruses are coming for him!

«Мне нужно, чтобы ты соблазнил принцессу. В течение 10 месяцев.»

Пока его бывшая невеста, принцесса Фиарка, которая, как считалось, погибла, не появляется перед ним. Чтобы спасти свою родину, которой грозит аннексия, она забирает Раса обратно в свой дворец и рассказывает ему свой план — заставить Раса «рогоносца» кронпринца, соблазнив его невесту Тицину, принцессу из соседней страны…
Фантастическая история политического брака между наёмником и принцессой в мире магических существ, где на кону стоит судьба целой нации.

When Iroha’s channel surpasses a million views overnight, Yahiro and the others know the reason can’t be anything good. As it turns out, a sleuthstreamer called Yamadou has exposed her as a dragon medium on his channel, and now the whole world is watching Iroha’s every move! Before Yahiro and Galerie Berith can do anything to retaliate, the Guild detains Yahiro…as a suspect for a rash of murders?! While Yahiro is away, the Galerie’s Japanese branch comes under attack by a foe with an old grudge. And with more Lazaruses appearing to shake things up, Iroha and her siblings may be in more danger than ever.

Four years ago, a dragon filled the sky, the nation of Japan fell, and Japanese people around the world were wiped out. Yahiro, a survivor of the tragic event, works as a salvager who obtains Japanese artwork and artifacts for foreign buyers. Not many are willing or able to brave the ruins, which are crawling with monstrous beasts called Moujuu. But Yahiro’s the best man for the task. After all, thanks to his regenerative abilities, he can’t really die. He’s approached about a job to search for the Kushinada, which is capable of controlling the Moujuu, but it will require delving into the most dangerous parts of the city. This is the story of a dragon girl and a dragon slayer.
