Shiho sat in her office after having informed Miho of the planned double date with Captain Chono, thinking of ideas about where to go. She wanted to keep with the idea of making it as public as possible, so they could have the most exposure. She sent a text message to the Captain to get her input. 'Hey, do you have any ideas about where we should go with the girls?'

The response took a few minutes. 'Sorry about the late reply. Was in a meeting with JGSDF command.'

'Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt anything. How did your meeting go?'

'Well. They ordered more of the specialty ammunition the schools use from the other militaries.'

Shiho looked at the map on her computer screen, at one of the places she had thought of, and sent the name to the Captain. 'I was thinking we could go to Kushinoya. It's nice and quaint, and they serve wonderful Kushiages, made right in front of you.'

The Captain thought about it, thinking about the setting, trying to make things more close and special. 'That place is nice. Take a look at Watahan and tell me what you think. We could all sit together close.'

Shiho looked up Watahan on her computer, seeing that it's small but noting from the reviews that they serve a rare type of beef. The beef is so rare, only 1,000 of them are processed per year for all of Japan. They also serve Tamba Matsutake mushrooms in the fall, which are very expensive. 'That place looks nice. I'll make the reservations.'

'And I'll tell the girls. I'm meeting with them after I get out of here.'

Captain Chono stopped by the hotel the ladies were staying at. The only strange part was that she did so in her Type 10 MBT. She managed to park it straight, although it was large enough to take up two parking spaces. All of the ladies that were there rushed out to meet her, having heard her approach from the whistle of the turbochargers on the engine and the clicking of the tracks on the road. "So, nobody else parks their tanks here?" She chuckled as she stepped out.

"Captain, where'd you learn to park like that?" Mako asked, semi-jokingly.

"When you're in the army, specifically an armored division, you learn to park all manner of abnormal vehicles in normal parking spaces. Two spaces, in this instance."

"What brings you to our little hotel?" Miho asked.

"I wanted to have a quick word with you two. Miss Nishizumi and myself have set everything up for our date. She's made reservations next weekend for Watahan. They serve sukiyaki and shabu-shabu."

"She's really going through with this, huh?" Miho said, pleasantly surprised.

"I think it's nice that she's made such a turnaround." Yukari said.

"Yep. Anyway, next weekend we'll be going there. Bring your appetites."

Shiho was continuing her work at her office peacefully, with light, relaxing music playing in the background. Her intercom buzzed, the receptionist letting her know that Maho was coming in. She took her seat across from her mother, who had a rare smile about her. "Hello, dear. Anything I can help you with today?" Shiho inquired.

"No, not particularly. Everyone is abuzz about you and the Captain." Maho answered.

"Well, I guess that's a good thing. The more people know, the better."

"So... you actually don't mind that people know?"

"I'd rather they know. I'm doing this partially to punish myself for my horrible treatment of Miho and her girlfriend. But I suppose it isn't all bad, at least I'll be seen with Miho. That, and there is another positive or two."

Maho thought about it for a moment, unsure of what the others could be. "What other positives?"

"Well, the Captain is a Lady of class and integrity. As you know, those are both things I really like. The other being that she's an officer in the army. That shows she's intelligent and a competent leader."

"I guess image is important."

"Yeas, she is good looking, too." Shiho said, stopping quickly when she realized what she had said.

Maho looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You might actually like her, then."

"It's important to like the person you're going on a date with, right?"
