Chapter 14: Tell us about you.
10:15 am
The break came, and Katyusha was eating in the canteen with Miho and Yukari. At one point a group of girls approached her, greeting her.
"Hi!" Said one of them, who had short brown hair tied in two pigtails and eyes of the same color, wearing a pair of glasses and a red headband with an ideogram on her right arm.
"Hi ..." The blonde replied.
"You are Ai, right?"
"Yes, but you can call me Matrioska."
"I am Taiga Ou, from the broadcasting club; instead they are Azusa ... "
A girl with short brown hair and eyes of the same color greeted her with a nod.
"... Oryou ..."
"Nice to meet you!" Said a girl with short black hair and eyes of the same color.
"...Cutlass ... "
"Nice to meet you." Asked a blonde with bobbed hair and brown eyes.
"... Piyotan ..."
"Very happy!" Said a girl with short gray hair and eyes of the same color.
"... Akebi, from the volleyball club ..."
"Welcome!" Greeted a blonde with her hair tied in a tail.
"... And finally Hoshino."
A girl with long black hair and green eyes squeezed her hand.
"Nice to meet you." Kat said, smiling.
"Pleasure is ours ... Now tell us everything." Taiga invited her.
"All that?" She replied sharply.
The others stared at her strangely, caught by surprise by that sudden change of mood.
"Tell us about yourself ... You will not expect us to share the same class with a stranger." Azusa said.
"Ah, yes ... Well, to begin with I am originally from Kumamoto."
"The hometown of Miho and Maho!" Piyotan exclaimed.
"Exact."
"What kind of school is Bellwall? I hardly know her ... " Taiga asked.
"It's a mix between Kuromorimine and Pravda."
"You mean Russian and German?"
"Exact. Our commander, Emi Nakasuga, is a tough girl."
"So you were in the sensha-do club?"
"What role did you have?"
"How did you get into the last tournament?"
"Calm down, girls! One at a time, or send it on tilt! "Miho reproached her, so far left aside.
"Yes, I was in the sensha-do team, I was a tank commander (a Jagdpanther) and in the last tournament we did not take part ... But to the previous one, we were eliminated in the quarterfinals by BC Freedom."
Fortunately Yukari and the others instructed me properly last night or otherwise I would have been in trouble.
Katyusha thought.
"I am your avid fan, I also have your banner as a background on the cell. Do you want to see it? "Cutlass intervened.
Matrioska nodded.
The blonde put her hand on her smartphone and handed it to her. The girl looked at him carefully: a red and black shield with the word Azul in yellow letters on a blue background.

"A perfect logo for my old school!" She exclaimed, proud.
"Yeah ... But that is the banner of the Blue Division High School." Cutlass retorted, becoming suspicious.
Katyusha then swallowed and began to sweat cold, while the others looked at her uncertain or even suspicious.
Damn ... Is it possible that nobody explained the situation to her? I'll have to do it!
Miho thought, panicked.
"Er ... Cut, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Tell me, Miho-san."
"In private."
"Agreed ... Let's move into the corridor."
"So what did you want to tell me?"
"Nobody warned you?"
"About what?"
"That is Katyusha, the commander of Pravda."
Cutlass looked at her in disbelief for a few seconds, then asked:
"What are she doing here at Ooarai? And why is she pretending to be another?"
"According to what says her deputy and others are plotting to kill her. But she discovered the conspiracy and fled her school, taking refuge here. "
"And you agreed to give her hospitality."
"At least for now, yes, until we find out if the danger is real or not. Meanwhile, I ask you to keep silence on the whole affair."
"To a friend of Momo-san I can't say no." It was the response of the blonde, who winked at her interlocutor.
Miho smiled in response.
"Come on, let's go back inside."
"With pleasure."
Having returned to class, the two students saw that their companions had resumed conversing with Matrioska, as if nothing had happened.
"Favorite color?"
"Red."
"Favorite animals?"
"The cat and the wolf."
"Do you like Boco?"
"Er ... I don't know him."
"Why did you decide to leave Bellwall to come here?"
"I'm a fan of Miho Nishizumi, and I wanted to be part of her team."
"I don't know if that's possible ... The sensha-do club is full, as far as I know." Azusa said.
"There's always room in our team!" Saori stated, joining the conversation.
Thank goodness ... None of them suspects anything.
Miho thought, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Miho-san, the newcomer is really nice!" Akebi stated.
"Yeah, and it's available, too!"
"Pleased to hear it ..." Nishizumi admitted junior, genuinely pleased.
At that moment the sound of a bell was heard.
"The break is over ... Lessons will resume soon. Better get back to your desks."
Her companions nodded, returning each to her place.
