You don’t say anything, just winking at them before turning around to walk to the bus. Erika looks a little thrown off by the wink and Maho just gives you a small smirk in return. Miho follows suit and once you’re all aboard, the bus slowly begins moving off.

It’s a short trip back to your tanks and once you are back, you all quickly mount up. You’ve already done your pre-match checks, so you're able to quickly start up your tank.

It’s not five minutes before the other tanks startup as well and you’re soon ready and waiting for the start.

“Remember everyone! Team Delta will be heading south to block the bridge while the rest of us head west for the mountains where we’ll set up for a long engagement. Everyone understand!?”

There’s a chorus of yeses from the assembled tanks and you contribute your own.

“Fritz, incoming from Anglerfish team,” Leo informs you.

“Put it through,” you reply. It takes a second but you soon here Miho in your ear.

“Fritz, we have a problem,” she says. “Two problems in fact.”

“Which are?” You ask.

“The JagdTiger and the Elefant. They can go straight through all of our tanks, including our heavies.”

“So they need to be dealt with,” you surmise. “What do you need me to do?”

“There’s a forest in the centre of the field, do you think you could use it to flank them and take them out?”

You consider it. If both you and Echo team split off the mountain team will be dangerously low on tanks.

The Shermans are better on elevated ground, and the Whizzbang can't really fight effectively in the forest. Let's not stretch the teams too thin.

You take a second to consider the idea as the flare signalling the start of the match pops. It’s a good one, but if too many tanks are in too many places, you’re liable to your flag tank just getting pushed and demolished.

“Alright Miho, we’ll do it but take Echo team up the mountain with you so don’t get overwhelmed.”

“Deal,” she replies. Your radio cuts off for a second before Miho’s back on the air. This time however, she’s talking to the whole team. “Alright, everyone! You know the plan! Team Delta blocks the bridge, Team Bravo head for the forests in the middle and the rest of us for the mountains. Panzer Vor!”

With that, you’re off. Your tanks roar forward, surging towards their destinations.

“Leo, Team Bravo radio please,” you ask. You wait a minute for your radioman to switch the channel then start talking. “Bravo team, Werewolf. Our mission is to hide in the forest at the centre of the field so we can knock out the JagdTiger and Elefant tank destroyers which are the biggest threats to our heavy tanks. Understood?”

You get a chorus of confirmations from your subordinates which is good enough for you so you stop transmitting and focus back on the journey.

The cruise is uneventful. Delta team reach their ambush point first, Turtle and Cheetah teams setting up in the forests after pushing shark team into a position blocking the northern end of the bridge. You don’t expect Shark team to last very long, but it should slow them down enough, you’re also going to be in the bushes nearby anyway so you can assist once the enemy tank destroyers are dealt with.

To your north-west, you see the main force rumbling off towards the mountains. Leo is monitoring their comms and relaying anything important back to you, but none of it is immediately relevant to your mission so you tune it out for now.

“Careful Max,” you warn as you enter the river. You hear Max snort at your warning before he replies.

“Please Fritz, you hurt me. How long have I been driving for you to say that?”

“No harm in reminding you,” you chuckle. You turn to look behind at the other members of your team as you chug forward. Erika is handling it like a pro, barking orders at her hapless driver as they ford it. Ocelot is also doing well, the high profile of the Challenger helping with river fording if nothing else. Hippo team is struggling, however, not something to be immediately concerned about, but something to keep an eye on while crossing.

As you near the southern bank of the river, you consider your options for placement in the forest. Due to the hill to your west blocking a significant portion of your sightline, you have several options. You could place yourself to the north of the forest, ready to hit anything that engages the main force in the side. Or, you could head for the south forest to hit them as they cross as well as provide support for Delta team.

> Head for the south of the forest (Red)

You reach up to your neck and key your microphone.

“Bravo team, Werewolf. We’ll make a run for the south of the forest where we can hit both bridges.”

“You got it, Fritz!”
“Aye, Mackensen.”
“We’ll follow your lead, Commander.”

Comes the replies from your team. As you continue to cross the river you keep an eye on Hippo team. Thankfully their problem seems to be fixed as they’re moving through the water without any issue.

As you climb onto the southern bank, you cast your eyes east. You can barely make out the silhouette of Turtle and Cheetah team in the forested hills compared to the easily visible MK IV on the bridge.

“Eyes up, Fritz.” Your driver Max says. You look forwards and promptly duck a low hanging branch as you enter the forest. Erika to your right is not so lucky and you wince at the thwack and string of curses as one hits her in the face. Hippo team is luckier given the lower profile of their tank and Ocelot’s commander Mikan isn’t dumb enough to sit with half her body out of the tank.

“Hold it here, Max.” You order as you arrive at the south-western edge of the forest. You pull up your binoculars and look towards the bridge. Maho and Erika pass by before you have a chance to hit them though you see a Tiger II with a snapped track immobile. More importantly, you see the Elefant just finish crossing the bridge and the JagdTiger on the bridge, crossing slowly. You’re sure there’s other tanks on the far side of the bridge but you can’t see them right now.

“I be seeing one of the wee rapscallions!” You hear over the intercom. “A Lil’ one! Approaching the eastern bridge!” You turn to look and sure enough, a Panzer III zips into view.

“Bravo team, target the JagdTiger on the bridge first, we take that out and we block both bridges. After that, we take out the Elefant and if we have any time spare, the Panzer III to our east. Understood?”

You don’t wait for a reply, instead, you start calling out targets for the entire team.

“First target! JagdTiger on the bridge! Range 600 meters!”

CRACK-BOOM

Ocelot’s 32-pounder whizzes past you first. You track the shell as it travels straight towards the side of the JagdTiger. The side of the heavy tank destroyer is thick, but no match for the sheel which slams into the side of the casemate and detonates on the protective carbon. The tank is stationary for a minute before the white flag pops out the top.

“Scratch one JagdTiger,” Mikan says, almost bored into the radio. You turn your attention to the Elefant and call out ranging information.

“Elefant! Turning towards us! About 600 metres!” You shout.

“We got it!” Erika announces. Hound team fires next, the 75-millimetre gun screaming as the shell tears forth. Unfortunately, it hits the front plate, bouncing off and detonating harmlessly on the grass. “We don’t got it.” Erika corrects with a sigh.

You ignore your troubled imouto and focus on the tank as Ruby minutely corrects the turret. The Elefant is turning towards you, but you have a bigger gun than Erika so maybe…

“On the way!” Ruby shouts. You watch the round sail forth and almost groan as it hits the armoured fighting compartment, bouncing off just as harmlessly as Erika’s shot.

CRACK

Hippo team fires next, their shot streaks forward. They shouldn’t be able to penetrate the front of the Elefant, but the whistling you can hear from their shot tells you its HVAP. Sure enough, Saemonza lands a neat shot into the lower glacis which promptly explodes on the carbon.

“Nice shot Hippo,” you say into the mic before switching back Werewolf team’s intercom. “Ruby, Axel. Hit them as many times as we can!”

“Aye, Aye!” Ruby confirms as Axel slams another shot into the breach. “On the way!”

The round is a dud, as soon as it exits the barrel it begins to tumble, exploding mid-air less than halfway to the target.

“On the way!” Ruby shouts again, ignoring the failure of her second shot. This one flies true, slamming into the Ferdinand almost on top of Saemonza’s shot. The gun of the heavy tank destroyer falls limp and seconds later the white flag pops out the top.

“Scratch another one,” you say to cheers from your gunner.

> Head north around the hill. Yourself and Ocelot can’t fire but Hippo and hound might be able to finish it. (Yellow)

“Bravo team! Let’s head north around the hill, close in and finish the match!” You order. Max, listening in below you doesn’t need to be told again and promptly guns Werewolf’s engine. He roars in response, the turbine spinning up as you press forward. The rest of Bravo team follows behind you, Ocelot remaining at the back given their current vulnerability.

You quickly move north of the hill, and round the corner. Sure enough, the JagdTiger is still blocking the bridge but it’s slowly being pushed forward by a massive tank.

“Holy shit, Fritz! Is that a-“

“It’s a Maus,” you confirm, interrupting your sister. “I don’t want to believe it but if anyone could get one it’s them.”

“I hate to interrupt, but we have bigger problems,” Mikan interrupts. You’re tempted to point out there literally is no bigger problem but refrain from doing so and instead focus on the Tigers. All three of them are pointed straight at you, turrets slowly traversing to aim at you. On the other side of the canyon, you see tank destroyers lining the edge, trying to get a shot at you. You look back to the mountain, Azusa and Leopon are close enough they can probably contribute to the fight though the others are further back.

> Everyone who can fire on flag tank, Hippo load HESH, smoke for retreat, whizzbangs.

You immediately jump into action.

“Everyone! Flag tank spotted! Open fire with everything!” You shout into the team radio. You then quickly switch to Bravo team’s. “Hippo, use HESH.”

“Copy that,” comes Erwin’s reply before hell breaks loose.

Your sister fires first. The round screams forth from her gun straight towards Maho. Unfortunately, while it hits, it hits the turret, bouncing off and exploding on the gun mantlet. You ignore another string of curses from your sister as rounds continue to fly.

Rabbit team’s shot lands next. Unfortunately, it’s short of the Tiger and explodes harmlessly in the dirt. Maho fires next, snapping off a shot towards you but thankfully, it seems Erika’s shot threw off her gunner’s aim so it goes wide. You take that as a cue to make yourself scarce and trigger your smoke grenades. As they pop around you, obscuring you from view you shout an order to Hippo team.

“Take your shot then we move!” You say. You don’t get a verbal response, but Hippo fires, misses then begins backing up. Just in time as shots from across the canyon start to come in.

Anglerfish fires next. Hana is as accurate as ever, her shot screaming across the river and straight into the side of the closest Tiger II. It’s not the flag tank, but it’s one less tank shooting at you which you’re grateful for.

As you disappear into the smoke, three things happen. Firstly, Leopon manages to hit Maho from the mountain, exploding in a way that lets you know it was a penetration. Secondly, Erika takes a shot at you. You don’t stand a chance, the shot screaming forward and straight into your glacis, detonating in a manner that rocks you about painfully. You can’t take another like that. Then, the rockets land.

The three Tigers are showered in debris as the rockets land around them. You see one hit Maho’s gun barrel, damaging it and another destroying Erika’s track as you slip into the smoke.

You take a second to listen to the radio as you do. On the other flank, the MK IV got destroyed but managed to take the Panzer III with them. The Cromwell of Cheetah team also took a hit, but not before Turtle team managed to hit the lead Panther.

“Erika, cover me,” you say into the mic. You don’t bother to elaborate, instead barking out orders. “Max! Full power to the engines! They won’t be expecting us to charge them!”

“Fritz? What do you mean!?” Erika shouts back. You ignore it to try coordinate what you’re doing.

“Then what?” Your driver asks as the turbine quickly spins up.

“You get us behind Maho.”

“Understood.” He guns the engine and the turbine roars. When you charge out of the smoke, it’s obvious they didn’t expect it. It takes several key seconds for them to react, and with your sister charging out of the smoke behind you, Erika is unable to react to you. Unfortunately, Maho is. She immediately starts reversing as you appear out of the smoke, turning to keep her face towards you.

“Now Max!” You order. He kills the power to your left track and the tank drifts round in a way that should put you behind her. Unfortunately, she turns with you, tucking herself in next to Erika to keep her sides and back safe. Even worse, you see the Maus finally push the Jagdtiger off the bridge and reach the other side. It’s not in a position to shoot yet, but it will be soon. Maho’s gun is pointed straight at you. You’re not sure if it can fire, but if she can there’s little method of escape.

It's pretty much point blank,it should do damage. Use the suped up HE if we still have it, otherwise use HESH. Pop smoke right after the shot and try to high tail it out of there, firing the MG131 as we do. Has hippo been in place long enough for their auto success on accuracy? If not, do we still have an auto success from gun stabilization upgrade? If we have either of those, use HVAP. Otherwise have them stay in place and keep shooting with regular ammo. The rest of Bravo to advance, with the challenger providing cover to little erika. Lil Erika will advance to try and take out Maho if we fail.

You decide to risk it.

“Bravo team! Advance and destroy! Load your best ammunition!” You order.

“Moving to support,” comes the cool response from Mikan. You get no such response from Hippo team but you see the Jagdpanzer lining up on the Tiger II blocking their shot at the flag tank.

“Axel! Suped-Up HE! Ruby! Target! Tiger flag tank dead ahead!” Ruby quickly adjusts her aim as Axel unloads the normal HE you had loaded and reloads it with the Suped-up HE. “Fire at will!” You order. Ruby takes a second to adjust her aim then shouts back.

“On the way!” She shouts. She squeezes the trigger and as she does, several things happen at once.

On the other side of the field, a rapid fusillade of fire is thrown between the two sides. Turtle team takes a hit and Cheetah team is knocked out by the combined weight of several Panthers and tank destroyers. They immediately move to either reinforce the tank destroyers opposite you or push the bridge but they’re too far to get anywhere in time.

A volley of shells rings out from the mountains. They land all around you, one bouncing off the Maus’ front plate as it turns to aim. Black Forest’s tank destroyers on the opposite side of the canyon also fire though once again, not quick enough to make a difference.

When it comes down to it, it’s just you and Maho. Several shots from the tank destroyers slam into you as your sister and Ocelot abuse the 32-pounder to hammer away at her. You ignore all that though and open up with your MG at Maho and trigger the smoke as Ruby lets loose.

Maho replies, almost instantly, her gun roaring as a shell flies towards you though thankfully, your MG fire forced her to duck and threw her gunner off as the shot goes wide.

You spaced armour is torn away by the tank destroyer shots but does its job, slowing down the shell as its destroyed and letting it detonate against your roadwheels. You wince at the thought of replacing them but ignore it in favour of focusing on Ruby’s shot.

Her shot screams forward, travelling for less than a second before impacting Maho’s front glacis. You can tell from the way the armour resists the shot that her tank is one of the better Tigers, made at the start of the war properly instead of one of the lesser, inferiorly armoured ones made as resources run out. Her armour holds valiantly for a fraction of a second, juist long enough that you don’t think your shell’s going to penetrate but thankfully, your luck seems to hold and the shell continues through, detonating on the carbon.

All is silent for a second and you watch with growing dread as the Maus lines up a shot on you. You ready for what’s likely to be a very painful hit but thankfully just before it can fire the white flag from Maho’s tank pops out.

“Black Forest’s flag tank has been eliminated! The victory goes to Ooarai Academy!”

You breathe a sigh of relief as the Maus holds its fire.

“Too fuckin’ close,” Leo murmurs, eyeing the Maus wearily from his hatch.

“True, but it worked,” you reply, slightly hysterical. “Take us over, Max.”

“Aye,” Werewolf trundles towards the crippled Tiger. You see Maho climbing out of her tank, slightly sooty. You climb out of the turret and walk over to her.

“Fritz,” she greets you. “You were faster than I expected.”

> ”That’s what she said.”

That gets a snort from Maho and you can’t help but remember your very first conversation with her where a similarly crude joke made her laugh for the first time.

> ”Well, you were the one that gave me a very nice engine earlier.”

“I suppose I was,” she replies, slightly ruefully. “Though in reality, it was only due to my Mother’s interference that said engine was necessary, so really the fault isn’t mine.”

“Are you shifting the blame onto your mother?” You ask.

“Nothing of the sort,” she replies glibly. “If anything, I blame those gottverdammt rockets, if I hadn’t had my gun taken out, you would be knocked out.“

“Is that a challenge?” You reply with a grin. “We both know how the last one ended up and besides, you had a Maus.”

“For all the good it did,” Maho grumbles looking at the massive tank. “Next time we fight Fritz you will not get so lucky.”

You’re about to hit her with a killer roast, but that’s the moment Miho choose to arrive.

“Fritz!” she calls as she arrives. Her tank pulls to a stop meters away from you and she doesn’t waste a second climbing down and running over to you. “I was expecting you to take out the tank destroyers! Not singlehandedly win the match!”

“Well, it’s not my fault the tank destroyer was on the bridge,” you shrug. “And besides, I wasn’t single-handed, I had Bravo team.” You gesture to your sister and Erika who are either about to fight or kiss. Knowing the two of them you reckon it’s more likely to be a fight. It doesn’t help that Rosehip has appeared from somewhere and is egging the two of them on.

Miho heads over to her sister and the two of them begin to talk. It’s slightly awkward given the context but there seem to be no hard feelings involved.

> You got a text forwarded from Anzu from Director Kodama to meet as soon as possible, you should see to that

While you’d prefer to do almost anything else, unfortunately, duty calls. You walk back over to Werewolf where your crew are lounging atop the tank.

“Ruby, you’re in charge. Take Werewolf back when its time, I have business to attend to.”

“By business, you mean sucking face with Vice-President Koyama, right?” She drawls to laughs from the rest of your crew. You don’t dignify that with a response, instead, walking north. A few minutes later, the Hetzter putters into view. It’s slightly damaged, but Yuzu is driving it well. It pulls up alongside you and you climb on top and into the tank. As soon as you’re through the hatch, you’re accosted by all three members of the Student Council.

“We won, Fritz! We won!” Comes the excited voice of your girlfriend as she hugs you. You can feel Anzu wrapped around your waist and Momo one of your arms.

“We sure did,” you reply, content to remain in that position. Unfortunately, it ends shortly afterwards as Yuzu returns to her driver’s seat.

“Alright, what’s up Prez?” You ask as you head towards the stands.

“I know as much as you,” she shrugs. “I was just told ‘we need to meet’ so here we are.”

You arrive behind the stands a few minutes later, sure enough, Director Kodama is waiting there, a pleasant smile on his face.

“Well done on your victory! It brings a smile to my face to see you all competing so earnestly!” He begins. “Unfortunately, I didn’t bring you here to discuss your win, I’m here about your next match, the one with the All-Stars.”

“What about it?” You ask.

“Tsuji has made his move, he’s trying to up gun the All-Stars to worsen your chances, as well as change the terms back to a proper elimination match. The latter I can delay, but the former I cannot, at least not without experienced bureaucrats.”

“So, we have to fight soon?” Anzu asks. The Director nods

“The sooner the better, every day, the chance he goes over my head and changes the terms increases so I’d say haste is the better part of discretion.”

Anzu looks to you.

> “Give us a week for repairs, do everything you can to stall them, Director. If we can get ready faster, we’ll let you know.”

“I will,” The Director promises. “I hate that it has come to such skulduggery but unfortunately his position is such that its necessary, even if his removal from office is all but inevitable at this point.”

“We’ll get our tanks operational as soon as possible,” Anzu promises. “Most of them are perfectly fine, so hopefully repairs should be quick.”

“Hopefully,” he echoes before looking at his watch. “Unfortunately, my time here grows short, so I must depart, I’ll keep you updated.”

“And we’ll do the same,” Yuzu promises. The minute he leaves you spin round to Anzu, ready to put your plans into action but she holds up a hand.

“Not yet,” she says. “First we go celebrate us winning the tournament and tomorrow we go hard on saving Ōoarai, capiche?”

“Fine,” you grumble. You take some comfort in Yuzu pressed into your side, sigh then nod. “Let’s get to it then.”

The four of you walk towards the stands as well as the rest of your team. A large stage has been set up, with a large red flag adorned with an eagle on it. You spot the rest of the team rapidly climbing the steps up and onto the stage. You quickly join them, taking your spot next to your crew.

It’s a tight squeeze, but you find yourself jostled next to Miho in the centre.

“Fancy seeing you here,” you quip. Miho laughs at that and offers you the flag to hold. Traditionally, only the Commander of the victorious team should hold it on stage, but on the other hand, you personally worked hard for this, as anyone from Ōoarai would attest.

You reach for the flag but as Miho’s about to let go, you wrap your other hand around hers.

“Fritz?” She asks, flushing slightly.

“Together,” you reply simply. It takes her a second to realize what you mean but her face lights up when she realizes.

“Together,” she repeats. The two of you lift the flag. It’s slightly awkward given the height difference, but you make it work. The cheers from the Ooarai section of the crowd get even louder and the cameras start flashing even faster.

After the ending ceremony is done and Miho is presented the massive 100 credit cheque for winning (which Anzu snatches gleefully) the lot of you head back to the massive staging area where your tanks were parked before the match and are parked again. You inspect Werewolf and while he’s seen better days, he’s still combat-ready. You pat the old tank and take a second to rest before you get back to work. On the other side of the structure, you see the Commanders of the various teams approaching Miho. You begin to walk over to them to begin putting your plan into motion but before you can, you’re intercepted.

“Are you forgetting something young man?” A very familiar voice asks. You pause when you hear it and when you turn around you see your mother standing there, hand on her hip. “You send Erika to say hello but ignore your dear old mother? Joseph, what happened to my son?”

“Don’t drag me into this!” Your dad exclaims from behind her. He rapidly gestures to your mother which you’re able to interpret as ‘get a move on!’ and you walk towards her.

“Took you long enough,” she grumbles as you wrap her in a hug,

“Sorry, I was busy.”

“I’ll forgive you this once,” she says magnanimously. “Especially since you gave us that brilliant display during the match, I’ll be able to brag about that for months.”

You chat with your parents for a few minutes, during which they extract a promise from you to visit them sometime during the week their in Japan as well as bring Yuzu and Maho to see them again. Unfortunately, that also means the other Commanders are beginning to leave. You can probably reach one in time to talk to them tonight.

You take off after Darjeeling. As you approach, you see she looks slightly annoyed. She’s trailed by Orange Pekoe and a very amused looking Rosehip.

“Darjeeling!” You call. She slows down and you jog up to her. “Is this a bad time?” You ask seeing the expression on her face.

“No Fritz, it isn’t,” she takes a minute to visibly compose herself before turning to you with a smile. “Apologies, I just got finished smoothing things over with Black Forest after my subordinate egged on a fight.”

“She was asking for it!” Rosehip chips in. Orange Pekoe elbows her in the ribs, shutting her up.

“Thank you, Pekoe,” Darjeeling nods. “What can I do for you Fritz?”

“We need your help,” you say. Darjeeling gestures for you to continue so you do. “Ooarai’s being targeted by a MEXT official with a personal grudge against the school. In particular, he has a grudge against us doing Tankery. If we want to stay open then we have to win an upcoming match.”

“And I assume there’s some sort of catch?” Darjeeling asks, you confirm it with a nod.

“The fight is an elimination match using adult rules against the University All-Stars.” Darjeeling makes a sound of understand at that. “So any logistical help you can give us or help you can lend we’d appreciate.”

“Well, I don’t know if we can much in the way of repairs, we could help with your Cromwell, but your other damaged tanks are outside of our area of expertise,” Darjeeling murmurs. Orange Pekoe whispers something in her ear and it looks like a lightbulb has gone off in Darjeeling’s head.

“Of course! Fritz, you go about acquiring allies for this battle and you can leave the co-ordination of it to me. We’ll also do our best to supply an expeditionary force.”

“Thank you, Darjeeling. Anything you can give us we appreciate.” She waves you off.

“Anything for an ally. Come Pekoe! Rosehip! We have work to do!” They take off, a pep in their step that wasn’t there before. You watch them leave, then head back to your tank once they disappear over the horizon.

After they leave, you and your team begin the trek back to Ooarai. Your school ship is docked at a port that’s several hours away, so you load up onto the train then head to one of the carriages at the front. Anzu informs everyone of a non-negotiable parade tomorrow afternoon which is met with a mixed reaction.

Saturday 18th August (Day 132)

You wake up relatively late that morning. With the fight against Black Forest done you can afford one morning in. Erika has no complaints about you staying in and is content to use you as a pillow until you eventually do roll out of bed.

You don’t bother with a fancy breakfast today, instead opting for some cereal. Erika might complain, but she hasn’t cooked successfully once in her life so isn’t really in a position to complain and demand more.

You’re at a loss for what to do for a minute. You then remember that nine times out of ten, the Student Council is working on something so you decide to pay them a visit.

After the short walk to the bridge where the Student Council’s main office is located you walk up and head in. After a knock on the door and the customary ‘enter’, you head on in. Sure enough, the Council are there. All three (Momo and Yuzu) hard at work.

“Good morning, Fritz!” Anzu says cheerfully as you walk over to Yuzu’s desk. “What brings you to our office this lovely morning?”

“Well, I am a member of the Student Council,” you say, flicking your badge. “Do you guys need any help with anything? I have the morning free.”

“Do we need any help…” Anzu repeats. “Well, thanks to our win, we have some money that we can use to look into more tanks before the All-Stars match.”

“Or you could help me out with doing an inventory,” Momo chips in. “Food’s being used at a greater than usual rate.”

“And there’s always paperwork,” Yuzu smiles, patting a large pile. “But if you want to do something more exciting go ahead.”

>Buy tanks, you’re not sure if you need them or not but you have money to burn

> Help Momo with the inventory, it sounds interesting enough

“Let’s go deal with the inventory,” you say. “Sorry Yuzu,” you lean down to kiss your girlfriend on the head. She pouts for a second but sighs and waves you off. “Go have fun galivanting around the bottom of the ship while I’m stuck here, doing paperwork with no help.

“Don’t worry Vice-President, you have me!” Anzu chips in from her desk. You and Momo take your leave before Anzu can really piss Yuzu off.

“Are we actually going into the depths of the ship?” You ask as Momo as the two of you head downstairs. From the office on the bridge to get beneath the ship you just have to continue down the stairs past ground level.

“Not really, just the first-floor underground. There’s no point in keeping the food too far from the kitchens.” Momo explains. She flicks a light switch and the hallway barely lights up, the old lights struggling and flickering to illuminate the hallway.

“It’s just down here,” she says as she walks down it.

You follow her, having to duck every so often to avoid a low hanging pipe or dangerous looking light fixture. After a few minutes of that, you stop in front of a large door.

“This is the place,” Momo announces, she pulls out a ring of keys and after fiddling with it for a minute, inserts one of the keys. The door opens to a massive storeroom, choc-full of crates of what you assume is foodstuff.

“Alright, let’s split up,” she says. Have a look around and tell me if you see anything out of place.

“Will do,” you say with a nod as Momo walks off. You pick a random direction and begin walking.

It seems you’ve picked a good direction, as almost instantly you’re able to see plenty out of place. Open crates, some crates destroyed or gnawed through and even foodstuff just left out in bags. You lean down to examine one of the damaged crates. There’s a small hole at the bottom, leaking food out onto the metal floor, all stuff that’ll need to be destroyed. You take a look at one of the bags next and it’s the same story: gnawed through and food wasted. You’ve about come to a conclusion on what’s causing it when you hear a shriek from the direction Momo went in.

You sprint over to her and see her standing atop a crate, broom in hand.

“Fritz! It’s-“

“Rats?” You finish. Momo doesn’t reply, too busy whacking away at them.

You walk over to her calmly, casually kicking away a rat or two that gets too close for comfort. You then proceed to grab Momo, sling her over your shoulder and walk out of the room. You put her down and she takes a minute to gather her bearings.

“Rats and poor food storage,” you say as she recovers.

“Rats and poor food storage,” she nods. “This never happened, Fritz.”

“What never happened?”

“Good,” she turns around and begins walking back towards the Council office and you follow her, slightly confused.

>Go to Anzu’s parade

After returning to the office and reporting your findings, the four of you head to the garage. You’re mildly surprised to see the Cromwell already back in working shape thanks to some of St Gloriana’s mechanics who are chatting with the automotive club. You walk over to Werewolf where your crew are slowly setting him up for the parade. The side-skirt on the right that got hit has been removed though the damaged roadwheels are still there and probably need to be repaired or replaced. As you mount up and begin preparing to move off, Anzu buzzes you on the Radio.

“Hey, Fritz. Where do you want to be?” She says. “Mostly it doesn’t matter where people go, but I thought you’d like to pick your spot.

> Upfront, with Miho and the heavy tanks.

“I’ll go up front,” you decide.

“Sure thing, Fritz. Just roll out after Miho. With that, Anzu cuts off the radio. A few minutes later, everyone starts up their tanks and begins to move. Miho leaves first and you follow her out. You’re followed by Rabbit team, who are followed by Leopon team. After them come your tank destroyers and finally, bringing up the rear are the remainder of the medium tanks that make up the bulk of your forces.

You rumble off the school ship onto a spiral ramp specially designed for getting tanks off a school ship. You don’t remember Ōoarai having one before, a new investment perhaps? Either way, it’s useful for you so you don’t question it. Instead you simply follow Miho down.

You’re lead down a route from the port that takes you towards Ōoarai’s main street. It’s packed, far more than you expected. The sidewalks are lined with people, cheering and waving flags.

“A lota flag wavers for a bleedin’ high school tournament,” Max mumbles from his spot inside Werewolf. Him and Leo both have their hatches popped, as does the rest of the team. Unfortunately, Werewolf only has the one hatch on the turret so Ruby and Axel are stuck inside.

“Commander Nishizumi, head for the main square,” Anzu crackles over the radio. Miho adjusts her course correspondingly, following the path blocked off specially for this parade. It’s a short trip, but the slow speed you’re moving at turns a 10-minute journey into an hour long one.

You soon reach the main square. There’s a new statue on display. It takes you a couple seconds to realise what it is.

“The Type-5!” You hear from the History club. Sure enough, the tank you found has somehow moved from the warehouse to Ōoarai’s main city square.

> “Couldn’t you have at least asked?”

You say over the radio, slightly annoyed.

“Oops,” Anzu replies, entirely unrepentant. “It was just sitting there so I thought, ‘why not put it to good use?’ Besides, look. Everyone loves it.”

You take a look around and sure enough, the Type-5 seems to an item of interest for a lot of the crowd.

“Just don’t take stuff without asking,” you grumble back.

“Sure, sure.” Anzu dismisses you. The rest of the parade is uneventful. Thankfully, Anzu
didn’t give away everyone’s entire day and after a lap of the main square, you turn back the
way you came towards port.

After you return to port, you re-embark the carrier and return to the warehouse. You drop[ Werewolf off then head to the nearby airfield. It’s less an airfield and more a warehouse with several landing pads but the budding aviation club has made it work. It’s not difficult to find a crew that needs some more flight hours and after figuring out where Saunders’ carrier is located, you’re off.

It’s a pretty long journey, but thanks to the helicopter it’s not an all-day one. You arrive in Nagasaki about an hour later and sure enough, Saunders’ school ship is sitting in port. Your pilots announce your arrival and ask for landing permission, sure enough, a minute later you’re given it.

As you set down you see Kay and her vice-commanders approaching.

“Hey!” Kay shouts, waving as she walks over. “Didn’t expect to see you around here! What’s up Fritz!”

“Unfortunately, this isn’t a social call,” you sigh.

“Business?” Kay asks. “Let’s head for my office.”

> Some help matching the All-Stars’ numbers

You follow Kay away from the landing pad to a waiting jeep. Naomi jumps into the driver’s seat and Kay the passenger’s seat, leaving yourself and Alisa at the back. The drive is long, longer than you expected anyways. It’s probably due to the sheer size of Saunders which as far as you can tell is literal miles longer than Ōoarai is.

You arrive at Saunders University High School but you don’t enter the building. Instead, you continue past the gate to a very large barrier. Someone makes to stop you but upon seeing Kay they move back and open the barrier. Naomi doesn’t stop, and you’re forced to duck as the barrier misses your head by inches.

After that near miss, you look up and see a large warehouse. Far bigger than yours at Ōorai. When you voice that opinion Kay just smirks.

“Wait till you see the main one.” Is all she says. Sure enough, you go into the large warehouse, which is packed with Shermans, down a spiral ramp into a even bigger warehouse that is also packed full. This time, you can see bigger tanks mixed in such as Layla’s Pershing and the T28 you sold them which they’ve upgraded to T85 standards.

You continue through that warehouse right to the end where a single desk sits with several chairs around it. On the front of the desk is a simple wooden sign saying ‘Kay’s Office’ hanging from the front.

“Nice place,” you say as you climb out of the jeep.

“Thanks!” Kay takes the big seat and gestures to one opposite her which you take. “I like to keep my finger on the pulse ya know?”

You take the seat opposite her as Alisa and Naomi take a seat on a nearby sofa.

“So how can I help you, Fritz?” Kay asks as she slumps into her chair. You tell her exactly how, and explain your situation with MEXT, Tsuji and the University All-Stars team. By the time you’re done Kay’s characteristic smile is gone.

“That blows,” she says, summing up the situation. “Of course we’ll help. What do you need?”

You take a second to think. Darjeeling has already promised help but you don’t know exactly what she’s bringing.

>”Your best.” (You’ll get the Pershing, T95, T29 and the firefly)

You say. “Shermans are great, but honestly they’d be out gunned Kay.”

“Yeah I understand,” she nods. “You’re probably used to working at a numbers disadvantage anyways.”

“More than we are being at an advantage,” you joke. That gets a laugh out of Kay.

“Ain’t that the truth?” She replies. She sighs before talking again. “So the All-Stars huh?” Our ex-Commander’s one of em you know? Megumi. One of the Bermuda trio.”

“Bermuda trio,” you echo. “They pick that name for a reason?”

“None I can see aside from the triangle,” Kay shrugs. “I wouldn’t waste any brainpower on it.”

You decide not to and instead the two of you talk more about the match. You tell Kay of Darjeeling’s role and she promises to Coordinate with Darjeeling.

Once you’re done with your meeting Kay drops you off back to the landing pad and you head back to Ōoarai. On the way, you text Yuzu and your parents asking if they’re free and thankfully, they all are.

The helicopter arrives at Ōoarai shortly afterwards. You thank the helicopter crew then leave for your apartment to get ready. After a quick change of clothes, you exit your room and are accosted by Erika.

“And where are you going, all dressed up?” She asks upon seeing you. “There are better clothes to break the bed in.”

“It’s not a date,” you scowl. You take a swing at her but she expertly ducks out the way and hits you with a cheeky grin. “If you must know, myself and Yuzu are going out with Mother and Dad.”

“So a boring dinner,” she somehow pulls from that. She slinks over to the sofa and collapses on to it. “Have fun, or try to at least.”

>"I'm sure you'll make it plenty interesting, dear sister. You're coming too. But you'll have to explain to mom why your girlfriend Rosehip won't be there."

“She’s not my girlfriend,” Erika says automatically before she paused and realises exactly what you said. “You can’t tell Mom! She’ll be asking to meet a girlfriend I don’t have!”

“And if you come with me, you’ll be able to deny the allegations there instead of letting the idea fester in her head.” You can see the gears in Erika’s head turning as she tries to think of a way out of it.

“I hate you,” she grumbles as she stomps past you into the bedroom.

“Remember to wear something formal!” You call back.

“Absolutely despise you!” She howls again. You can only laugh at that. A few minutes later she emerges from the bedroom in a blouse and a skirt, still glaring at you.

“Brilliant, let’s go get Yuzu.”

The two of you head out towards Yuzu’s apartment. She’s waiting for you by the door and begins walking over as soon as she sees you.

“Erika!” She cheers as soon as she sees your sister. “You look so pretty in that blouse!”

“Oh, uh thanks,” Erika mumbles, suddenly self-conscious. “You look pretty too…”

After a few minutes of mutual complimenting you eventually manage to steer them towards the port. Erika insists on stepping on your heels from behind, but you ignore it with practised ease and soon reach port. From there, it’s a short trip into town by bus. After a few minutes of walking, you reach the prearranged meeting point. Sure enough, your parents are there.

“Fritz! Erika!” Your dad shouts the minute he sees you, playing up all of the worst of western tourist stereotypes. “And Yuzu too, brilliant!”

“It’s nice to see you again too- erk! Mr Hermann,” Yuzu manages to squeak out as the three of you are crushed by your dad.

“Please! Just Joseph or Dad!” He says as he lets you all down. Your mother approaches as he does. She’s far more subdued in her greeting but it’s just as warm.

“It’s good to see you all again,” she says. An outsider might mistake it for being a cold greeting but you’re able to tell from her eyes and the way she gives Yuzu’s hand a quick squeeze. “I wasn’t aware you were going to join us, Erika.”

“I convinced her,” you say before Erika can get a word in. She gives you the stink eye but doesn’t say anything to contradict you.

“Well I’m glad you did,” your mother says. “Do you have anything planned Fritz? Since you invited us out?”

> “Dinner and a visit to a statue they set up in honour of us?”
> “I hear there’s a nice park around here we can visit after dinner.”
> “I was thinking dinner and…” frantically but subtly gesture to Yuzu asking for help.

Unfortunately, that's it for tonight since I have work tomorrow. Apologies, but sometimes life gets in the way. Regardless, thanks for playing
