## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

At the beginning of the Esthirant Air Strike, on the first floor of a beautiful stone building decorated with all sorts of ornaments, communications officer Pai was manning the magic signature sensors in the morning. She looked closer at the screen. One second the wyvern overlords were flying in perfect formation, and now they were flying in all sorts of directions. Before she reported the anomaly to her superior, the twenty points of light representing the wyvern overlords all flashed brightly and then disappeared completely (They were shot down by the JASDF F-15J Kai). She then flipped the switch on her magic communication device, which allowed her to talk on the base’s PA system.

Then, her superior came bursting into the room and asked her if all twenty wyvern overlords were lost. She responded they disappeared one after the other in 20 seconds. He asked her if it was not the sensors, but she got newly overhauled two days ago, which worked well. As the two argued back and forth, the echoes of explosions reached the base, causing those in the Imperial Army Base to feel that something was inexplicably wrong.

As Pai and the others were panicking in the communications room, dragon knights of the 3rd Squadron were already beginning to take off from the runway. However, shortly afterward, the wyvern overlords were engulfed in explosions by Type 4 air-to-air missiles (AAM-5) from JASDF F-15J Kai fighters. The runway was destroyed by Mk. 82 bombs from the F-2 fighters, which the wyvern overlords could not take off. After that, the seventy JMSDF BP-3C bomber formation dropped countless unguided bombs down on the Imperial Army Base. The base was engulfed in explosions, one of which blew Pai away and caused her to lose consciousness. Those explosions must have hit the command center where she was. When the building around her collapsed, Pai had lost consciousness in a gap in between the fallen debris, which had saved her.

In the end, Pai finally woke up and found herself in a small space that only allowed for movement of half her body above her shone a light. She was able to survive without any broken bones. She found out it was the body of her superior, who had given his life to protect her when the bombs caused the collapse of the building. She then tried to push the debris on her back but to no avail. She yelled to anyone for help, but no one came for the eventual search and rescue operation. She frantically switched positions and tried directly pushing away the rubble. With her waist down on the floor, her back pushed upwards as she put all her strength into it. She then retracted her legs to her body to try and get them into the effort. As more and more debris was pushed away, it got a whole lot easier to get up. Seconds later, the rubble right on top of her was pushed out of the way, revealing the sky above. She then got her arms free, which she used to pull herself out of the rubble.

After Pai managed to escape from the pile of rubble, she looked around, but what she was a landscape littered with buildings so destroyed and there were no longer any survivors. Standing in the midst of the ruins of what once used to be an Imperial Army Base, Pai had never seen destruction so utterly complete before. She was shocked and silent as she took in the horrifying scene.

Eventually, the Parpaldia Empire lost to Japan and surrendered in effect. She escaped the country only because Japan had no intention. However, she is not desperate in such a situation and dreams of the revival of the Parpaldia Empire.
