A mysterious member of the Extraction Alliance from a far corner of the Empire. Since the first Day she arrived on The Eternal, curiosity about her identity has never vanished. She has the distinct appearance of an Imperial (or even a Reverberator) and possesses incredible combat abilities, yet almost no other Imperials know anything about her past. All information about her is classified at the highest level on The Eternal, with only a handful able to access it... and you are the only one here who has witnessed her true form.










Most people from the Empire, when they first arrive on the surface, feel a great deal of surprise and discomfort regarding the culture, society, and daily lifestyle there, and Ikara is one of them. She made her mysterious entrance as if descending from the sky, came to your side, then gracefully left, shared an unforgettable experience with you at Freeport VII, and fought alongside you during the crisis at Apoaster Bridge—judging only from these memories, she seems like a miraculous girl. However, when returning to daily life aboard The Eternal, she still lacks common sense to some extent.She throws overly expensive clothes into the washing machine without sorting by color and chooses to directly use her beautiful but excessively Heating flames to warm food because she can't figure out how to operate the kitchen stove on the dining cart. After all this is discovered, she usually just proudly tilts her head, indicating that this isn't something she was supposed to know, "If you want, senior can personally guide me, right?"You don't mind teaching her how to adapt to daily life personally. The problem is, while accepting her various charming, delicate yet harmless requests, you always wonder if she used to be a princess accustomed to giving such instructions to others.
"……So you came to see me specifically to talk about our first meeting... quite unexpected, senior."Contrary to your expectations, when you found Ikara and expressed your intention to rewrite a report on the incident from your initial meeting and archive it, she did not show much opposition but accepted it very calmly.The "first meeting" occurred some time before you two encountered each other at Freeport VII. As a Dragon Child and the "True Dragon Lord," Ikara descended from the Day with her sisters and demonstrated the power hidden within them. Just by touching her fingertip, even a mortal could temporarily gain magical strength. It was during that meeting that she revealed her draconic side and even called you "Lord Demon God." The significance of this title, Ikara's true abilities, and the reason for their appearance here are all unclear, making it a challenging investigation. However, judging by Ikara's current status and behavior, she clearly does not think there is any problem with her present life."Besides, I remember you're not particularly good at writing reports, senior. If you need the help of a junior like me... feel free to say so, I might consider helping."At the end of this conversation, the girl with the dragon's power smiled at you and said. Surprisingly mischievous, indeed.
After the series of events at Freeport Seven came to an end, Ikara temporarily entered a status of having nothing to do. In theory, she should have begun studying at Citadel arranged by the Sublimation Plan, but since various aspects of the plan had yet to commence, her "holiday" was indefinitely extended; until she officially enrolls, she may stay on The Eternal, by your side.As she became more familiar with you, she shared some of her past. These memories were different from those recorded in the "Chronicles of the Archons," which documented your history and that of the Dragon Children. They were more personal and fragmented. She didn't intend to tell you all at once, nor did she plan to deceive you. If one were to make an analogy, her experiences are like a poetry collection that needs to be gently leafed through and softly read aloud. Despite the traces of dragon blood and pain between the lines, it remains quite beautiful.The memories of being regarded as a "True Dragon" in a small village were recounted by her amidst the scent of coconut-scented laundry detergent in the laundry room; the memories of being used as an experimental prototype in the royal court were told in the dining car accompanied by the delightful sound of sizzling fried eggs; the memories of fleeing with Lucavi, being pursued by Theo but unable to have a proper conversation with her, were recounted under the warm sunlight of the bus carriage.She has told you many things. Before you knew it, she had almost revealed all of her past.
FROM: Red Strawberry Dragon Wing TO: COLUMBA Chamber of Commerce President —— Dear Signora Medici, How have you been lately? I have already adapted to life on The Eternal. The crew doesn't intrude much on my privacy and treats me like a friend. The person you hold in high regard, the Conductor, gets along with me quite well... The Conductor is a very good person; your judgment is spot on. Although, as a senior, sometimes they're a bit unreliable. Additionally, I Hope to introduce my two sisters to you soon... though I'm not sure if it will go smoothly. Looking forward to your reply. This is my first time using the email system, so I Hope it won't withhold mail like the royal court's messenger.FROM: COLUMBA Chamber of Commerce President TO: Red Strawberry Dragon Wing —— Dear Little Ikara, I'm delighted to know you've adapted well on The Eternal. You're welcome to come back and meet with me more whenever you have the time. If you'd like, you can return with the Conductor; I do miss both of you a bit. The name "Red Strawberry Dragon Wing" is very cute, haha! *smile* However, I Hope you can change your email username to your own name, as it took me a while to figure out it was you. Little Ikara, I Hope you continue to live happily and joyfully."Senior! Y-you knew they would see this username, right?! Why didn't you remind me to change it?!" Ikara, who finished reading the email while holding the communicator, rushed into the Conductor's office, her face completely red.
Ikara, here as the representative of the Kuiling Alliance and the future trainee Conductor. … When I was traveling, someone told me to call those who graduated earlier at school "senpai"… Should I call you that too?
Is there anything you want to teach me?...Senpai.
Senior, did you stay up late last night watching a robot movie? ...What? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm not the kind of person who sneaks around; it was Dou Dou who told me! Just drink this cup of coffee while it's hot. I just made it casually, so don't overthink it, okay?
After arriving on The Eternal, I tried for the first time to use the surface dwellers' machinery to wash clothes. It turns out that dark and light-colored clothing cannot be washed together... a bit troublesome indeed. Next time, can I put my clothes in your dirty laundry basket? That way, you can do it for me.
The tail... is a bit untidy, I'll need to spend some time tidying it up later... Senpai, maintaining a proper appearance is also very necessary. How about spending some time on grooming yourself? If you lack experience, I can offer you some suggestions.
Senior, you're quite the "influential figure" in TMT, aren't you? Previously, I encountered a Conductor from the same class as you, who kept saying you were a formidable rival. Being shy won't help; this is a "title" you've earned yourself.
Lately, it's been a bit boring... Although everything is more or less on track, it's still not as interesting as when we were together at school. ... If there's a chance, I might still want to be with you... No, I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything at all!
Your hand... what happened? Did you get a scratch while fixing something? Why didn't you tell me! Give me your hand quickly—see, it's healed now. Honestly, you really don't take care of yourself at all, in this regard, you're not like a senior at all!
During the battle, the "dragon" side was split out, so that is also me, also Ikala. ...Don't be afraid, after all, in essence—you said you "really like" it...? From an aesthetic point of view, it's certainly unparalleled. I allow you to like that side of me, but you must not ignore this side either.
...I quite enjoy basking in the sun. The sun on the surface... haah... (yawn) is very warm, different from the glow of a stove or the light of a lamp. It's perfect for... sleeping...
You've worked hard, senior. These are pomegranates I just peeled, please have some. …Why do you look so surprised? I simply wanted to do something for you, and I'm not going to take this opportunity to ask for anything in return. …After all, it was you and President Medici who taught me these things.
I will make a little something to eat. If you need it, I can help with cooking. Last time, when I passed by the bento box cabinet, I saw something that looked inedible... It probably wasn't grilled with flames like I do, right? Or was it overcooked?
One, two, three... senior? Uh, I'm not looking at anything... just dance tutorial videos. After all, I heard there will be a ball when we graduate from school, so I want to prepare in advance. As for the choice of dance partner... I already have someone in mind, and I will personally invite "that person" then.
That camera was eventually taken away by Anita's people... I understand, it's probably for research purposes anyway. However, a few days ago, I saw an advertisement for a new model camera in Bonfire City! If you have time, how about we go pick out a new one together? This time, how about I take photos of you, Senpai?
Fighting... Do I really need to handle something this simple?
Is there really more...?
Gone.
My other half, my bloodline!
Dragon, come here!
Tsk, lost composure...
I want to go back.
Of course I'm fine. What are you worried about? Senior must have tried their best not to get hurt, I know that. Hmph, then hurry up and follow me back!
