The Arts of Warfare aren't just about the fights. It's also about everyone that participates in them, including what they do every day outside of combat. What happens when the Panzerkraft girls are let loose in their everyday lives? Very interesting things. What about if the Jägermeistern guys are included as well? Get ready for a lot of tomfoolery.

Upon getting out of the shower in the morning, Saori had hesitantly headed for her scale in her bathroom with a towel wrapped around her.
"Scales..." Saori shuddered at the thought. "I've been eating too much when I'm around the others, Bubi especially..."
She then stepped on the scale and nervously awaited its reading. She then got the reading, but she grew a great amount of surprise from it.
"What?! 'This is light for two people?!'" Saori then entered despair after she interpreted the meaning. "No way! This can't be!"
Outside of her bathroom, Erich was listening in to Saori within his normal clothes. He was by now snickering very hard, almost as if holding back a huge amount of laughter.

Later that day, Saori was with the rest of her friends along with the five boys of Messer Team. Everyone was in their normal school clothes.
"Hmph!" Saori huffed as she held a small box of food. Hana and Mako were beside her. "Well, jeez! I don't know an 'Erich!'"
Erich chuckled a bit from his place alongside Miho. "All right, then," he responded.
"But I have to say," Hana began as she started feeling Saori's arm. "The results of eating extra are appearing in the right places."
"Stop that!" Saori demanded with an expression that mixed being flustered and being mad together.
"A healthy body is indispensable for Panzerkraft."
"But I'm the radio operator!"
"I'm in favor of the results here," Mako commented as she felt Saori's leg. Saori grew more flustered at the contact.
"Miho, save me!" Saori begged as Hana and Mako started leaning up against her.
Miho just looked on awkwardly for a bit before she leaned close to Erich. "Please tell me you're going to return her scale to normal soon," she whispered.
Erich snorted a bit before he responded, "I'll get to it later, but this is just so much fun to watch."

Over the next few days, Saori had been continuing on trying to watch her weight.
"Guten Appetit!" Erich spoke up before he dug into his massive meal. It was mostly made up of potato-derived dishes, but there were other things there depending on Erich's tastes at the moment. The other guys and girls of his group of friends were there as well.
'I have to pay close attention to my portions when eating with Bubi and the others!' Saori thought determinedly as she looked on at Erich absolutely obliterating his meal. 'I can't be drawn in! I have to moderate myself!'
For two of their meals as a group, Saori had been closely watching Erich's eating as she monitored her own in relation to his. Erich's servings were usually at least five times those of Saori's, and they all included a large amount of potato-based foods mixed in with whatever else he felt like having at the time.
But for the next three meals the group ate, Saori had gotten careless with her monitoring. She had started taking on increasingly larger portions until Erich's were only about three times larger than hers by the third meal.

Later in her apartment one night, Saori was on her bathroom scale again wrapped in her towel. She was crouched on the scale as she remained on her toes waiting for the reading, literally. Eventually, she got her reading.
"The scale increased!" she grunted out in a bit of a shriek.
Outside her bathroom, Erich was snickering heavily again as he listened to Saori's plight.

The next day, Saori was with everyone in the group for the moment.
"Yukari's the type who doesn't get fat no matter how much she eats!" Saori noted in frustration. "No fair!"
"Nah, I'm a maniac, so I only eat the absolute minimum," Yukari responded with innocence, highly contradictory to Saori's current mood. "My allowance goes to my hobby!"
Saori lost her fire as she listened on. She now appeared confused.
"I don't eat any snacks, so I'm always somewhat hung-"
Yukari was interrupted by a loud growling sound. Saori looked on for a bit before she jumped back in a cowering-like manner.
"Was that a growling stomach I just saw?!" Saori exclaimed.
"Miss Takebe looks tasty, right?" Yukari remarked now with a real hungry look. "Somehow."
"I can relate to that," Erich spoke up in agreement from behind.
"Don't relate!" Saori loudly retorted.
Miho then came up beside Erich and grabbed hold of his ear.
"Ouch ouch ouch ouch!" Erich struggled as Miho pulled him along by force away from the group.
"You're fixing this, now," Miho determined with no room left to argue. She had had enough of seeing Erich's prank torture Saori. "And you're going to apologize, too."
"Why can't you learn to have some fun every once in a while?" Erich replied as he struggled against Miho's grip in futility.
