As both humans and demons are only united by their common enemies, she points out, it's almost inevitable that no matter which side wins the war, the various factions of the victors will turn on each other. However, if the adorable "King" had a collaborator on the human side, together they could end the war in a way that would ensure lasting prosperity for both sides!

In a deadly business where a single mistake can mean instant death, the lady falcons of the Kotobuki Squadron will outfly and outshoot anything else in the stratosphere!
