Senran Kagura: Yoma War

Introduction part 4

Previously, in SK: Yoma War

"(Tokyo Japanese) Well, well. We'll have a lot to explain, boys." a curled-bob light brown haired girl spoke up, her name is Haruka, one of the said "allies".

Now

Suddenly, Chiyuki's phone rang with the song "Imperial March". "(Kansai Japanese) Alright, lads, the instructor of Hanzo academy is calling, I'll meet him somewhere around here. It seems that you'll have to wait for further instruction until my return. So, feel free to get to know each other." She told her cadets before she faded away into darkness.

Despite his calm looks, Tatsuoka's voice shows his nervousness.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Well, it's not what you think, we were warning you about…"
"(Tokyo Japanese) About the Yoma Forces that is rising around our doorstep as we speak, am I right?" Asuka replied, the conversation continues.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Wait, how did you know that?"

"(Tokyo Japanese) Apparently, I caught your poor messenger and give him some treat. I mean…I made some futomaki rolls just for him, you know?"
Tatsuoka turns toward Kaori with upset look.
"(Tokyo Japanese) Kaori, again with this?!"

"(Tokyo Japanese) Sir, that's not my fault! Kurosame rations taste like sh*t!"

Tatsuoka growled before continue

"(Tokyo Japanese) Alright then, congratulations! You just have 3 weeks suspension of rations"
"(Tokyo Japanese) Fine by me, I prefer rat or shark meat over that thing."

"(Tokyo Japanese) Wait, Do you have any idea what happen when he dropped the call after he failed the infiltration?" Homura intervened and Tatsuoka turned toward her. The conversation continued.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Of course not, why?"

"(Tokyo Japanese) If I didn't stop him, he might commit suicide"

"(Tokyo Japanese) Oh I see…Come again?"

"(Tokyo Japanese) Your junior was going to shoot himself, you hear me!?"

Tatsuoka sigh before replied.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Well, It's totally expected for us to complete the mission, or die trying. Anyway, thanks for saving this sociopath. Now, I know that it's not his fault. It's our drill instructor's miscalculation"
"(Tokyo Japanese) The fallen are still on his side after all. Lucky bast*rd…" Masumune mumbled turned toward Kaori and asked.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Why should they care about a sociopath like you? I wonder"
"(Tokyo Japanese) Maybe because they hate me so much they don't want me to join their ranks." He replied, the conversation continues.

"(Tokyo Japanese) You know, Kaori? I though you'll at least becomes a better and more selfless person after you became a cadet. And you've proven me wrong. You've failed all of us, Kaori."
"(Tokyo Japanese) Well, technically, I actually became better. Although it just a lil' bit, but I still count. And you've already known that what I want to win is not the heart, but the price."

Masumune was stunned. He then decided to cut the conversation after his 10 second of being stunned.

Tatsuoka turned toward the other 10 shinobi girls, 5 of them are from his former adversary, Hebijo Clandestine Girl Academy.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Anyway, you girls there aren't in our list, so why are you here?"

He paused before continued, his voice then full of bitterness.
"(Tokyo Japanese) Especially you, daughter of a bastard…"

He then gave a death glare on the girl with short white hair in Hebijo uniform, her name is Miyabi. She turned toward Homura and asked.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Homura, promised me you won't get mad, how come do you work for these people?"

"(Tokyo Japanese) Well, these guys are the only people who were looking for the new employees as that moment. Not to mention that they give us better than our previous employers. I mean, they gave us a SHIP, you know? Not to mention the best way of regain honor to our school is to picking on…I mean teaching our former enemy's recruits to gain their respect." Homura replied.

The Gessen team turned toward Kurosame team and made a brief bow before the girl with grey bob hair replied.

"(Tokyo Japanese) We apologize for not informing you about our intervention, gunjin-sama. My name is Yumi and this is my crew, the elite shinobi of Gessen Girls Academy. We're here to assist our friends from Hanzo academy and Hebijo Renagade squad."

The Kurosame team saluted back.

"(Tokyo Japanese) It doesn't matter who you are. If you're here to help us, welcome aboard."Tatsuoka replied. He then continued. "(Tokyo Japanese) Well, seems like we have to let the big guys decided"

"(Tokyo Japanese) Alright, kids, if you don't mind, I'll have to go join the "big guys" you were talking about. See you later!" Hanzo told everyone before pop the smoke and disappeared.

"(English) GAS!" Tatsuoka shouted.

All the Kurosame cadets immediately put on their gas mask, while the shinobi girls cough their guts out. They remove it after a while. All teams engaged in casual conversation after that. But for some reason, Tatsuoka didn't join the group.

On the other side, the teachers of 3 school and Grand Master Hanzo discussing about this urgent matter.

Chiyuki showed the rest of the teachers her file. Inside it, there're several recorded documents and pictures of Yoma forces in Mongolia, China, Russia and North and South Korea. Her audiences seems unfazed by what they just saw

"(Tokyo Japanese) Hmm…OK." Kiriya replied.

"(Kansai Japanese) That's…not what I expected." Chiyuki replied "(Kansai Japanese)I though you're going to accuse me of lying and photoshopping pictures or something."

"(Tokyo Japanese) Look, my Akunin cousin, we're shinobi instructors, not the national ministry of defense, we COMPLETELY aware about the existence of Yoma" The young woman in glasses with purple bunned hair told Chiyuki, her name is Rin. "(Tokyo Japanese)So, what is your idea?"

"(Kansai Japanese) How about joint operation?" Chiyuki replied, the conversation continued.
"(Tokyo Japanese) Let's not use military terms, please. Your uniform already told us you are one."

"(Kansai Japanese) I mean the exchange student from my schools. I have my most suitable candidate right here."
"(Tokyo Japanese) Who could that be, then?"

"(Kansai Japanese) Remember that girlish boy who usually hang out with Haruka? That's the one."
"(Tokyo Japanese) I'm not sure about that, not all of my students will agree on your decision for that."
"(Kansai Japanese) I understand that, but I don't have a choice. Masumune, that hot-blooded boy isn't smart enough, the 2 girls are still recruits and don't have enough experience of being shinobi."
"(Tokyo Japanese) How about the leader guy?"
"(Kansai Japanese) I'm afraid he'll try to murder your new students in their sleep, especially that tomboy and the one in glasses. He's Akunin civil-war veteran like them and they killed our former school leader, if no one tell you this already."

"(Tokyo Japanese) Hmm…You don't have much choice, it seems. What do you think, Kiriya-sense?" Rin turned toward Kiriya and asked.

"(Tokyo Japanese) I'm surprised you still think of asking me, Rin." Kiriya replied. The conversation continued
"(Tokyo Japanese) Are you mad, sensei?"
"(Tokyo Japanese) Why should I? Even when you allow me to join, I still don't know much about Kurosame school, so I have to respect her decision."
"So, can I inform the kids about this?" Chiyuki asked while looking at everyone else, uncertain for her decision.

"(Tokyo Japanese)It's all up to you now, gunjin-san." Hanzo replied.
Chiyuki saluted the teachers before walked toward the students, while they were still on their chit-chat.

"(Tokyo Japanese)Oh my gosh! You OK?" The girl with blonde hair and red eye asked Kaori. She's Shiki from Gessen team.

"(Tokyo Japanese) Well, everything is OK except for the fact that my lower leg bones broken in half and the one half impaled my leg inside out, you know why I want to forget now." Kaori replied. The conversation continued.
"(Tokyo Japanese) That's…pretty graphic. So, what's next?"

"(Tokyo Japanese) And as a result, no matter how hard I try, I can't keep up with the other guys anymore"

Haruka, stood behind Kaori the whole time, touched his head and gently stoke his hair, annoying him a little, before she told him. "(Tokyo Japanese) I know you're your life's motivation is winning but…you're forcing yourself too much, sweetie." Kaori growled a little has a respond.

As Tatsuoka saw Chiyuki's arrival he immediately shouted his order as he went toward her front.
"(English) SQUAD, FALL In!"
All Kurosame cadets grouped up in line, he then continued.

"(English) SQUAD, TEN Shun!"
They made an attention stance. Tatsuoka stepped forward, gave Chiyuki a salute and told her
"(Tokyo Japanese) I, 3rd year Cader Tatsuoka, 46th team, 9th company, 3rd battalion, Kurosame Military Academy, is informing you that the 46th team of 3rd battalion is ready for your next instruction, ma'am"
Chiyuki saluted back and replied.
"Good job as always, elite soldiers of Kurosame academy, at ease."
All Kurosame cadets perform at ease stance, waiting for her next word.
