**Hirkane Parpe** is the director of the Ancient Superweapons Analysis and Tactical Operations Department of the Imperial Ministry of Countermeasures Against the Ancient Sorcerous Empire in the Holy Milishial Empire.

## Personality

Hirkane Parpe is responsible for the analysis and integration of these superweapons into the Empire’s military assets and sometimes, the maintenance, analysis, and operation of weapons that are still functional. He is also the chief administrator of the excavated ancient weapon, the aerial battleship Pal Chimera. He is a rare person whose name and surname are shown in the story. He is sometimes referred to as Hirkane.

Perhaps he was in an important department despite his position as a chief, he often had conversations with people who were much higher in rank, and every time he did, he got nervous. Also, after the Great Naval Battle of Baltica, his position was weaker than Meteos', and he was in a miserable situation.

## Chronology

### Great Naval Battle of Baltica

During the dispatch of the fleet to the Gra Valkas Empire, Hirkane Parpe was summoned by Emperor Milishial VIII to receive a request for two aerial battleship Pal Chimera. He protested that the parts of the structure of the Pal Chimera didn't function and they didn’t have any replacements and couldn't manufacture new ones. After some arguments on obtaining permissions for the day of deployment, he bowed in agreement and left the room. However, the Pal Chimera Unit 02 was shot down by the super-dreadnought battleship Grade Atlastar's gunfire and the Pal Chimera Unit 01 suffered heavy damage in the Great Naval Battle of Baltica.

### Great Naval Invasion of Japan

Hirkane Parpe was an unusual attendee at the Imperial Conference regarding the invasion of Japan by the Great Fleet of the Gra Valkas Empire. He reported that he was preparing the Pal Chimera for another sortie, but that it was unlikely to be ready in time.

### Post-Great Naval Invasion of Japan

After the destruction of the Gra Valkas Empire Great Fleet in the Great Naval Invasion of Japan, Hirkane Parpe participated in the meeting with Emperor Milishial VIII and all high-level governmental officials at the Castle Albion in the capital city of Runepolis. The meeting’s agenda had already been discussed through preliminary reports and fragmentary videos of the naval battle between Japan and the Gra Valkas Empire. They watched the video by recording from the aerial battleship Pal Chimera, showing an anti-ship guided missile landed on a cruiser, causing a more violent and bigger intense explosion. Unable to find any other words beyond shock, Hirkane Parpe and other officials stayed silent as they watched the video. Japanese cruisers bombarded the battleship Grade Atlastar with multiple missiles and shells, making them wonder how thick the armoring was on the enemy battleship.

After the video ended, Hirkane Parpe and other officials were shocked about Japan’s strength. He listened to Intelligence Bureau Director Arneus explaining the anti-ship guided missiles, causing Military Minister Schmill Pao's anxiety and humiliation on Japan’s advanced weapons development.

National Defense Minister Agra handed out the documents and discussed the necessity of the operation about the Liberation of the Hinomawari Kingdom first before Leifor. Japan wanted to build an airfield around Valkyries for an attack on Leifor’s west coast, which was a considerable distance between the vicinity of Valkyries and Leiforia. Hirkane Parpe and the governmental officials read the documents. According to what’s written in the documents, once the Hinomawari Kingdom had been liberated, Japan would set up an airfield around the Valkyries base, then destroy the Gra Valkas Empire fleet off Leiforia through airstrikes. In addition, attached to the document is a request to the Holy Milishial Empire to dispatch a fleet to carry out a naval blockade once they’ve secured air superiority.

The Holy Milishial Empire has decided that after they’ve confirmed the destruction of the enemy fleet off Leiforia, it will send a fleet led by magic battleships to spearhead a naval blockade.
