1. Before the battle
26 linesDragons... Those imaginary creatures...
But in truth, they're neither imaginary nor creatures, per se.
In the London of ages past, it used to be that 72 percent of all deaths were related to the grotesque beings know as dragons.
That is why London's coat of arms displays a pair of dragons so prominently.
Rampaging dragons tend to harm humans, so the need arose for those who could manage them.
People living in Front London cannot perceive the beasts with the naked eye.
The ones who can live in Reverse London. Yes, the residents of the opposite side of London, so to speak.
Out of necessity it became their job to conserve and control the dragon population.

Again?! You say this every day. And you're the one who insisted on fixing the screen first, Ninny.
Cram it, Niiha! Of course they should fix the screen first! Everyone wants to see my commercial.
And for the last time, don't call me by my first name! Not when I've got seniority!
You could just call me Noel, Ninny. I prefer using first names.
Niiha's way cuter, so just accept it! Besides, Noel's a boy's name!
It's a girl's name in Japan. Didn't you know?
You've never been to Japan, so stop pretending to be Japanese!
Oh? Look at you two having fun as always.
What's fun about this, Director Baldy?! Compared to your boring life? Maybe!
Oof. Good thing I ain't balding. But all your yelling's gonna traumatize me. Here. Punch in.
Where to today?
Ninebrook Pastures. A fun place.
Yeah, well, you called that one bug-infested place "fun" too.
So I'd say your gauge for fun is good and broken!
What if it'd been frogs instead? That'd be fun.
Too bad hypotheticals don't count!
Let's get going. Screaming won't alter our destination.
2. After the battle
26 linesDragon is an umbrella term for any aberration that the citizens of Front London can't control, but they vary greatly in form and disposition.
And the majority of them serve the residents of Reverse London as natural resources of one sort or another.
Textiles, minerals, heating, chemicals, electricity, some are even farmed as sources of meat.
The boonies, huh?
It's not a bad place. So pastoral.
No, no, no! I wanna get promoted to the Sabres unit and protect London!
You too, yeah?!
This suits me just fine for now. Besides, Sabres unit isn't superior to Pipers.
Hey! You the witches from Wing Bind?
Greetings. I'm 1st Umbrella Niihashi, and that's 2nd Umbrella Spangcole.
Hold it! Don't introduce me like I'm beneath you!
A lovely couple of conservationists, you two. Sorry for the short notice. I need help with an A-rank harvest.
Honestly, I think they got the right idea over in Japan. They just kill them all, no questions asked.
Right, of course, you think it's barbaric.
How would I know? I was born in London.
Waddaya mean you don't know? Thought you were a Japanophile!
Going this far, though? All just to get some grapes for making champagne.
Keep climbing and stop complaining. It's obnoxious.
Don't talk to your senior in that way!
*Buuurrrppp*
Ugh, this thing's burps stink!
How high do we have to climb, anyway? Where on earth do these grapes grow?
In its nostrils.
Yech!
This is the worst! Why can't they hurry up and promote me?!
Sure. Sure.
