Rainbow looks with fear and concern at her red-haired pilot, who was seriously injured, bleeding profusely and could barely stay awake. She was on the dragon's back.

With a sad grunt, Rainbow rubs her snout on the assassin's head, who was looking at her weakly.

Chelsea: You didn't obey me, did you...? - She asks, in a barely audible whisper.

The Ghost Reaper lowers her head in shame, but is surprised to hear a weak laugh, which was coming from Chelsea.

Chelsea: Heh... heh... The boss kept saying that you are intelligent creatures... Now I understand what she meant.

With the little strength she had left, she raises her left hand, which contained only her thumb, to place it on Rainbow' head as a loving gesture. The reptile closes her eyes, solemnly accepting.

In the distance, Kurome stared at the scene with fury.

Kurome: Damn...! I can still barely move!! I need strength!!

The necromancer takes a candy from the bag and eats it, recovering her strength.

Rainbow opens her eyes just in time to hear quick footsteps approaching. The Mystery-class dragon wraps her wings around her friend before jumping from where she was, dodging a sword that stuck in the ground.

The Ghost Reaper looks at the girl who tried to attack her. Kurome had a crazed look on her face, her arms holding Yatsufusa's handle trembling.

Kurome: Ghost Reaper, huh?! I've always hated you pests!! - She growls, moving Yatsufusa to cut off Rainbow's head.

The feathered dragon, fortunately, jumps just in time to avoid it. She activates her camouflage and disappears into the environment. Chelsea, who was wrapped in her wings, was also camouflaged.

Kurome looked around fiercely, searching for sounds or murderous urges that would give her where the green and purple dragon was. She stays like that for a few seconds, but is not successful in her search.

She looks ahead just in time to see Chelsea simply appear in the environment a little far from her. The wielder of the Yatsufusa runs to kill the redhead once and for all. However, Rainbow removes her camouflage, revealing that she was flying above Chelsea and holding her shoulders. The dragon takes off into the air, taking the redhead with her, narrowly avoiding a cut from Kurome.
