The Legends Still Live On
Bogen Vier: Mehr Sommer in Ooarai!
Kapitel Ein: Ein überladener, verdächtiger Amerikaner
XXXXXXXXXX
Hey there, eh! Nathan McBraun here from Projekt Jägermeistern's newest installment, The Legends Still Live On! Here's what happened from the last chapter!
Since it's summer, we cleaned out the pool! But in the end, it was all the members of the Public Morals Committee who finished the job! Also, a suspicious American arrived.
And now here's the rest of what happened!
XXXXXXXXXX
"Oh, nice!" Dittmar commented. The aeronautics guys were now at the pool as well in their swim trunks.
"Oh, looks like they're done with the pool!" Brown noted as he looked around the area.
"That aside," Yeager began as he spoke with Aprikose. He gestured to the new arrival that was currently looking around the area with great intent. "This guy was way too suspicious-looking, so we brought him along with us."
"Nicely done!" Aprikose congratulated as he flashed a thumbs-up gesture.
"Wait, this is...!" the new arrival began but trailed off to himself as he saw everyone.
Ron was jumping into the pool from the high fence nearby with a lot of adrenaline flowing through him. Lemu was trying to berate him for the action, but he couldn't dissuade Ron at his current levels of energy.
In the meantime, all but two of Erich's and Miho's friends were having fun with each other in the water. It was notable that Nathan and Yukari were in full special ops scuba gear. Miho and Erich themselves were off alone with each other elsewhere in the pool. Miho had wrapped her body around Erich's torso yet again, and so Erich supported her by holding onto her ass as he was subject to Miho playing around with him in a suggestive manner.
Over still in the relief area were all of the gamers plus David and Mako. Mako had moved so as to sleep while lying across all of the girls of Anteater Team, and David had similarly moved so he way laying across all of the guys for Blitz-Sieben as he slept on. David also had a foot he was pressing against Mark's face during his sleep.
Abe was currently swimming through the pool with haste, but Gustav zoomed past on a snowmobile fitted with paddle-like tracks. He was able to drive over the surface of the water with said tracks as long as he stayed mobile, hence his current high speed.
The two sports groups were playing a very aggressive game of beach ball within the water. Nearby were also the freshmen groups messing around with each other, excluding Matthias and Azusa. The two of them simply looked on at their fellow freshmen, unable to do anything about them.
Up outside of the pool, Wolf and Leonidas were relaxing in the sun along with Erwin and Caesar. They were all habitually making historical references with each other again.
'They're just fucking around in the water!' the newcomer, otherwise observable as Ray in disguise, thought in a bit of anger.
"But first, the investigation..." Ray began to himself as he started furiously writing down things in a small pocket book. "These guys may consider this a ritual!"
Currently observing him from a short distance was the student council, and they all came to similar conclusions of the 'new' American.
"He's a spy," Zitrus determined with a smile.
"Yup, a spy," Aprikose agreed.
"Definitely a spy," Pfirsich also concluded with his more iron-like face. The three girls nodded in agreement with the conclusion.
Anzu then turned to everyone else at the pool. "Hey, boys!" she began. "Now that you're all warmed up, let's start with the game!"
"Already done with gymnastics?" one person wondered upon seeing Anzu finally done with her stretches.
"What?!" Ray reacted as he quickly turned to face Anzu during her announcement.
"What game are they playing?" Miho asked.
"Hm..." Anzu thought as she raised her finger to her chin. She then held up said finger as she came to a conclusion. "How about they have a cavalry battle first? It'll be plenty exciting."
XXXXXXXXXX
Eventually, the first cavalry battle was set to begin. It was Orkan-Drei versus Wildkatze-Fünf.
"The time has come!" Ron proclaimed with great adrenaline. He was atop the rest of the badminton players that currently supported him. He himself also had a white band around his forehead.
"W-W-We're totally up for this, but..." Matthias began with a nervous look. He was atop his fellow freshmen boys as they supported him. He also had a white band around his forehead. "There's this really strong aura..."
"Are there humans that can win against that?" Julius wondered with some of his own nervousness. The other freshmen also had varying levels of nervousness at the sight of their opponents.
"Uh..." Erich said from up outside the pool as he watched two of his pilots stare each other down. Ron was very clearly winning the stare-down. Erich himself also had a microphone in one hand.
He then looked to Miho who had come up behind him. "I was going to sing something fitting, but..." he trailed off as Miho wrapped her arms around him and pressed herself against his back.
"I think it's best to let that go for now," Miho suggested with a smile as she relaxed against her blonde knight.
"Au, fick das! I don't care how this ends!" Matthias proclaimed with a renewed vigor. He then pointed forward. "Start!"
"Hurra!" Erik and Julius cried out in a similar vigor as the freshmen team advanced forward to their foes.
"Don't underestimate us erste Jahre!" Mesut taunted.
"Let's beat them to death!" Christoph called out in similar motivation. Bastian just went along with everyone in his usual silent manner.
In response, the badminton guys lifted Ron up into the air and tossed him at the freshmen. "Serve's up!" they called out.
As Ron flew through the air and tumbled through it, some people offered comment.
"They threw him?!"
"What is this, gymnastics?!"
"Isn't that wrong?"
"Amazing turn!"
"He's coming down!"
"Ah!" all of the freshmen reacted as Ron landed straight in the middle of the group and took Matthias down underwater with him.
Ron soon surfaced with something in hand. "I got it!" he called out.
What he had grabbed were Matthias' swim trunks. Matthias was, predictably, staying under the waterline while the rest of the freshmen floated around in a daze.
Momo blew a whistle to end the fight. She and Anzu were both serving as referees.
"Yeah, Orkan-Drei loses due to foul play," Anzu determined in her carefree manner.
As such, Orkan-Drei was disqualified while Wildkatze-Fünf was beyond recovery.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Fuck, we were careless again!" Ron said with great displeasure when he and the other badminton guys got out. Ron still had Matthias' swim trunks in hand for some reason. Many of those around them started chanting, "Muscle-brains" at the four of them in a derisive manner.
Meanwhile, the disguised Ray was writing things down in his small pocket book.
"The strange pilot that managed to surpass the catalog specs of the Ki-10!" he remarked to himself as he continued writing. "To think that this monster is the one flying it... The rumors of the F4F having leeway are also true!"
Ray then looked to the crew of Blitz-Sieben. He found all of them still lying down out of the sun's rays, so he dismissed them and walked away. Nevi, however, sat up and looked at Ray walking away in confusion.
"Given the situation, the greatest threat is the Me 410's crew!" Ray determined to himself as he adjusted his glasses. He then paid his attention to the next fight coming up. It was Hornisse-Vier versus Komet-Acht.
"Our time has come, too!" Abe declared. He and the other history guys were currently pushing a Gatling gun to the pool. The other three besides Abe were clearly struggling with pushing the heavy gun, but Abe continued on anyways with vigor. He also had the white band around his forehead. "To the front! Let me hear your battle cr-!"
He was interrupted when the four finally pushed the Gatling gun into the pool, but all of them were dragged down with it to the bottom as well.
"What luck," Dittmar observed upon seeing Hornisse-Vier self-destruct. He and the other aeronautics guys were supporting Yeager, who had the white band around his forehead.
"So is that an unearned win for us?" Yeager asked.
Ray was looking on in a stunned state at how the fight went.
XXXXXXXXXX
Eventually, Ray recovered in time for the next fight.
"Up next is the most important target for investigation," Ray determined to himself. "The Bf 109 pilot!"
The next fight was Messer-Ein versus Stürmer-Sechs.
During the preparations for the coming fight, the crew for the Bf 109 was mounting up in their arrangement. David was being supported by the other four as he wore the white band around his forehead. Erich was at the front of the arrangement.
"David, you good?" Anton asked.
"Yeah," David replied in his monotone.
"Are you awake this time?" Erich asked with his calm smile.
"More importantly... sorry," David continued as he grew a sick look. "I'm super scared of high places."
"But you're always up high off the ground with our vehicles!" Anton retorted.
Erich's group then quickly realized the Public Morals Committee group charging for them.
"You're wide open, Mr. Faul!" Lemu taunted. He was being supported by Kolari and Satiainen plus one of the other committee members. Lemu also had the white band around his forehead.
"Three steps, Mahlzeit!" Erich quickly ordered as he entered his commander mindset.
The arrangement obeyed and moved three steps back to their five o'clock. This forced Lemu's group to overshoot and miss with their attack.
"Perform evasive while flanking and cut in!" Erich ordered next. The arrangement maneuvered as such to flank Lemu's group.
"Increase speed, five steps forward!" Erich ordered next. The arrangement obeyed and started closing with the enemy. "Herz, faster!"
Soon, Erich's group got close enough. "Jetzt! Nathan, throw David upwards!" Erich ordered.
The group accordingly launched David directly toward Lemu. "David, angriff!" Erich ordered.
Lemu tried to reach for David's white band while David flew through the air and closed with him with similar intent. Both soon splashed down into the water as the rest of David's team looked on in anticipation.
Soon, both rose to the surface, and David had managed to rip off Lemu's white band.
"Winner: Messer-Ein!" Anzu announced the result.
"Ma-Magnificent..." Lemu commented in a dazed manner as he and David lied in the water.
"Thanks..." David responded in a similar manner.
"Yeah! That was awesome, Bubi!" Nathan congratulated as he and Erich shared a high-five.
"I couldn't have done it without you guys," Erich replied with his calm smile. "And Miho's suggestions were very helpful, as well."
"Stop being so humble, Erich, and be proud of yourself for once!" Herz responded.
"That was great, Bubi! That was so amazing!" Anton congratulated.
"I'm grateful..." David moaned out as he floated back to the other four. He was still in a daze.
As Erich's group made its way to the pools edge and Miho jumped in after her lover, Ray was still taking notes in his small pocket book.
'Erich-Dietrich Hartmann...' he thought as he looked on at Erich's group. By now, Miho was giving Erich a congratulatory kiss as the two embraced each other. '... And Miho Nishizumi... As I thought. These two seem to be the key for their forces!'
"Hey, spy-no, wait... Hey, Ami!" Aprikose called out.
Ray stopped with a start and turned to him in response. "Wha-What is it?!" he replied on edge.
"Since our team doesn't have enough members..." Aprikose began.
At the same time, Pfirsich and Zitrus began stripping Ray down out of his disguise down to his boxers. He still kept his fake glasses, though, which prevented him from being recognized in his mind.
"Huh?" was all Ray could react with during the strip-down.
"Would you mind helping us out?" Aprikose ended his request.
XXXXXXXXXX
Eventually, the final battle was ready to begin.
"The final will be a battle royale among both the winning teams and, making an entrance from above, Würger-Zwei!" Anzu announced from the poolside.
All of the involved teams, that being Komet-Acht, Messer-Ein, and Würger-Zwei, were already mounted up into their arrangements. Aprikose was the bearer of the white band for his group, as were Yeager and Nathan for their groups.
"Hey, I'm not too heavy for you guys, right?" Nathan asked those supporting him from below.
"No, you're good," Erich replied.
"Hey, I've got an idea," Yeager began with his group, and they all listened in.
Ray was looking on in the meantime from the front of Aprikose's group. 'Now that things have come to this...' Ray thought. 'I have to get back to safety somehow!'
"Let the finals begin," Satiainen declared. From beside him, Kolari blew the whistle to begin the fight from the poolside. Behind them in the relief area were David and Lemu. They were still in a daze from their fight earlier.
"Um..." Ray began as he looked around and assessed the situation. "First we should-"
"Left!" Aprikose ordered as he kicked Ray in the left side of his back.
"Ouch!" Ray reacted.
"Don't you know? That's how you signal a turn," Aprikose revealed with a raised finger.
"Just say either left or right!" Ray barked as he looked back at Aprikose. "I can hear you perfectly fine anyway!"
"Hey, Messer-Ein," Yeager whispered over to Erich. Their groups were close to each other for now.
Erich looked over in response as he listened.
"You want to smash the student council first?" Yeager suggested with a conspiring grin.
"Verstanden," Erich replied with a similar grin. He then called out, "Start!"
"Oh, here they come," Aprikose remarked without a care as the two enemy groups charged forth to his.
"Fuck!" Ray cursed in slight panic as he also saw the enemies.
"Get ready!" Erich ordered his alliance. Nathan and Yeager got into position to lean down toward the water.
Upon getting closer, both of them called out, "Take their vision away with water!"
"Unternehmen Spritzen!" Erich declared at the same time.
Nathan and Yeager concurrently swept their arms up and splashed a great amount of water toward the student council group.
"Guh!" Ray reacted as most of the water hit him.
"Say, Lemu..." David began at the recovery area. Both he and Lemu were still recovering from their fight.
"What?" Lemu replied.
"Now that we've done a cavalry battle, I heard that the game that leaves the most dripping is water polo."
"Hmm..." Lemu said as he listened.
"... Well, not like that matters for us anyway," David ended with a grin.
"Leave me alone!" Lemu complained.
"Fucking stop already!" Ray barked at everyone in anger from his point in the pool.
Everyone stopped their doings and stared at him in silence.
"... Huh?" Ray said. His glasses were no longer on his face, and his identity was plainly revealed to everyone there, as their stares indicated.
"It's a fucking spy!" Anton finally declared with anger as he pointed at Ray. "From Saunders!"
"Why don't I show you the way of a true spy, eh?" Nathan taunted as he cracked his knuckles. "After all, you guys never detected me!"
"A spy you say?!" Ron spoke up as he and the badminton players came dashing towards Ray ready to perform flying kicks.
"Beat him to death!" Christoph proclaimed as he wielded two tombstones as weapons.
"Get that coward!" Abe ordered as he aimed the Gatling gun at Ray.
"Förstått!" Gustav confirmed as he charged forth toward Ray with a Carolean sword at the ready.
Meanwhile, Erik and Matthias were also charging forth to Ray to help beat him down.
Ray was looking around in great panic as he tried figuring out what to do.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Ah!" Ray grunted sometime later.
He was by now completely tied up in rope by Pfirsich. He predictably had injuries from the beat-down he suffered.
"Abide by the Jägermeistern regulations with your treatment of POWs!" Ray stubbornly insisted. Pfirsich tightened up the ropes a bit to silence him.
"Shut it!" the PR Rep barked. "Now start walking!"
As he started on a forced march, Ray determinedly muttered, "I'll make it back alive for sure! Once I pass on this intel to Saunders..."
XXXXXXXXXX
Later, the rest of the Saunders crew was relaxing at the pool as well. All of the Americans were in their swimwear. They all had sunglasses with them, too, but only a few were wearing them for now. Alisa was silent for the time as she sunbathed with her sunglasses over her eyes.
"Wait, what?" Kay wondered as she lied on her stomach under a sun umbrella. "What's with this spy uproar? I don't like this, Christian."
"It doesn't concern us, Kay," Christian replied from beside her sitting up. He was in a black pair of swim trunks with his sunglasses up on his forehead. He was applying sunscreen to Kay's back. "We should just enjoy the summer."
"No, that's not it," Chuck spoke up from nearby as he removed his pair of sunglasses from his eyes. He and Naomi were standing up as they looked on at something ahead. Chuck had some swim trunks styled with the Stars and Stripes of America's flag. "It's that geek looking over here. Naomi, is he an acquaintance of yours?"
"Hey, what are you saying there?" Naomi retorted with a grin. "I may have a lot of boyfriends, but I'd never approach a spy kid."
Kay and Chuck both unleashed huge bouts of laughter as Naomi and Christian shrugged off in a dismissive way with grins. Alisa chose not to intervene as she continued her sunbathing. In front of them way Ray who was still tied up and currently seething in rage.
"Goddammit!" Ray loudly yelled out in frustration.
"Normally it'd be Kay or Chuck that would invite us," Erich noted with a smile as he stood by Miho.
"Well, let's get back to playing!" Anzu proclaimed. "After all, summer has just begun!"
And so it still continues, this time with the swimsuit round.
XXXXXXXXXX
Throughout the day, everyone was still hanging out at the pool, which now included the Saunders crowd.
"Huh?" Matthias wondered. He was in the water with Erik. "Isn't the pool water kind of salty?"
"Ah, about that..." Zitrus began from up on the ground. Also there were Aprikose who was eating another jerky strip plus Christoph and Julius, who were currently messing around with a still tied-up Ray.
"We had to mix in just a bit of seawater due to our limited budget," Zitrus informed. "Sorry about that."
"Isn't it fine?" Aprikose spoke up with a jerky strip in hand. "It's just like a pool in a coastland hotel."
"Well no wonder it's easier to float here," Harry commented as he and Alex floated relaxedly on their backs.
"That's right," Alex agreed.
Soon enough, both Seth and Ron came with racquets in hand and shuttlecocks in their eyes as they both smashed Harry and Alex over their heads.
"Ouch!" both of those hit cried out as they sunk under the water.
XXXXXXXXXX
Elsewhere, Sodoko was in the pool in a daze. Mako and David were watching her from the poolside.
"Ah, it's hot..." Sodoko began. "I wonder if I should go head-first into the water."
"Why don't you?" David asked.
In response, Sodoko bent over and entered the water head first. Soon enough, her helmet-like hair started to float away from her body, and David and Mako grew alarmed at the sight.
They both shot up and started covering up the scene from the poolside by spreading out their bodies as they kept an eye out for anyone looking at the scene.
"Sodoko!" Mako began in alarm. "We'll keep quiet about this, so hurry!"
"Hurry and put it back on!" David spoke up.
Under the water, Sodoko was still fully together. It was just Pazomi who was swimming through with her own helmet hair above the water.
'Underwater clone technique!' Sodoko thought with a triumphant smirk.
XXXXXXXXXX
"That looks interesting!" Mesut commented. He and the freshmen boys were with Gustav and his paddle-tracked snowmobile.
"Can I look at it?" Christoph asked with some eagerness.
"Hmm..." Gustav entered thought. "Want to try riding it?"
XXXXXXXXXX
Soon enough, Christoph was in the pool piloting around Gustav's snowmobile.
"Wow, awesome Chris!" Matthias cheered from the poolside.
"Yeah!" Christoph whooped as he rode along.
"Man, he's doing good," Gustav commented.
Soon, though, Christoph wiped out and went under with the snowmobile. The others at the poolside looked on in alarm.
"Jäklar!" Gustav cursed as he immediately dove in with Mesut and Julius to rescue Christoph and the snowmobile.
XXXXXXXXXX
Later after sorting out the mess with the snowmobile, Christoph, Erik, and Julius were hanging out at the poolside.
"Hey, what's that?" Christoph wondered as he saw something begin poking out of the water. As the object continued climbing out of the water, the freshmen saw it as looking like a monster. "Uwah! A person!"
"What's this?!" Julius similarly reacted.
Soon, the person fully emerged, and the 'monster' was revealed as just being Nekota with water dripping down her body and hair.
"Oh, my," Erik began. The freshmen no longer appeared terrified after seeing who it was that emerged.
"It's like a monster movie!" Christoph proclaimed.
Julius laughed for a bit before he remarked, "It's like a dream!"
"Ah, it's Nekonya!" Erik identified. "Amazing!"
'They got it,' Nekota thought with a smile as she put her glasses back on. 'Thank goodness.'
XXXXXXXXXX
Later, the freshmen were messing around again within the pool. Christoph, Erik, and Julius were on a large float decorated like a shark. Christoph was at the front with Erik behind and Julius hanging off the side at the rear.
"Hey, excuse us for a moment," Yeager pardoned as he and Dittmar approached the rear of the float. Dittmar had a small rocket in hand. The rocket was similar in size to a firecracker.
"What?" Erik wondered in confusion along with Christoph.
"A rocket?" Julius observed similarly.
"We'll be done quickly," Dittmar assured as he mounted the rocket up to the rear of the float. Yeager also had a wrench out.
XXXXXXXXXX
Later, the three freshmen were seen on the float that was now roaring through the water at high speed. Julius was at the rear hanging on for dear life.
Upon reaching the end of the pool, the float skipped up out of the pool and into the air. The freshmen aboard were also propelled into the air.
"Oh, boy," Yeager observed the scene with the rest of the aeronautics guys. He himself had a hand on the back of his head. "I think I overdid it again..."
"Make sure you check the thrust levels next time," Brown spoke up.
XXXXXXXXXX
Later, Chuck was looking on at Yeager who had now come out of the water. Yeager had already finished getting the freshmen out of trouble.
"You're not from Saunders, are you?" Chuck asked him.
"No, I'm from Ooarai, remember?" Yeager replied.
"Hmm..." Chuck hummed as he meticulously inspected Yeager with his eyes. He noted how he seemed awfully similar to himself in appearance, almost like a long-lost relative. But Chuck knew that Yeager was not related to him. He would've recognized him if he was.
"Why?" Chuck eventually spoke up with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" Yeager wondered in confusion.
'You're both Americans anyway, Chuck...' Aprikose thought as he looked on at the scene from further away. He was relaxed with his arms behind his head.
XXXXXXXXXX
Elsewhere in the pool, Erich was participating in some beach ball fun with his and Miho's friends before he noticed a spray of water pass by him. Miho looked to the source behind him in curiosity.
Erich also turned around to find the source of the spray. It was Christian who was holding two water guns modeled after M1903 Springfields.
"You're the pilot of the 109, right?" Christian spoke up as he twirled one of the rifles with his right hand. He also was chewing on some more bubble gum. "From the first match."
Erich was confused, but he nodded anyway.
In response, Christian tossed the rifle in his left hand over. Erich caught it, but he was still confused.
Christian popped the bubble he had blown with his gum as he grew a competitive grin. "Let's party!" he said as he cycled his Springfield's bolt.
"Oh, so that's what this is about," Erich realized as he evaded Christian's first spray. While she looked on, Miho raised her hands to her mouth as she gasped. She soon hopped out of the pool and ran off to get help.
"Man, you don't give up, do you?" Erich calmly remarked as he maneuvered through the water and evaded Christian's next two sprays. He evaded two more sprays from him as he cycled his own Springfield's bolt.
He then took advantage of Christian having to reload after he ran out of water. Erich quickly lined up a shot and fired a single spray of water.
"Guh!" Christian reacted as he was struck directly in the face.
XXXXXXXXXX
After hearing of the fight, Miho and Anton were running along the poolside to Christian and Erich.
"Wait, so there's a bad mood between Christian and Bubi?" Anton wondered as he followed Miho.
"Yes!" Miho replied. "Christian may have started it, but... Well, now they're having a silent shoot out..."
She trailed off as she and Anton arrived at the poolside to find that Erich and Christian had laid their guns off to the side. The two were now talking with each other. They soon laughed a bit as they slung an arm around each other like old friends would.
"So what am I looking at here?" Anton wondered at a loss.
"... Um..." Miho replied at a similar loss as she watched her lover getting along just fine with Christian, as if nothing ever happened.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Thanks for calling us over, Miho and Erich!" Kay thanked Ooarai's two commanders later that day. She and Chuck plus Miho and Erich were sitting on two beach chairs, one for each pair of commanders. They were all still in their swimwear.
"Yeah!" Chuck agreed. "Having something fresh like this pool once in a while is nice!"
"'Like this?'" Miho wondered about the choice of words in a bit of confusion as she lied against Erich's side.
"Well you should know that every house in Saunders comes with a pool!" Chuck elaborated. "Or a jacuzzi!"
"No way," Aprikose remarked as he held his arms behind his head while relaxing nearby.
"You're boasting!" Pfirsich accused. "Damn bourgeois!"
"There's also a garden where we can have a barbecue..." Kay continued in a carefree manner.
"We can do that much on our grounds, too!" Pfirsich insisted.
"No, we can't!" Lemu retorted.
"And there are also some paranormal activities happening..." Chuck continued wearing a glazed look mixed with a grin.
"Man, the CIA follows you that far?" Erich wondered offhandedly.
"Anywho!" Chuck began as he snapped out of it and returned to normal. "It was fun today, you guys!"
"We had fun, too!" Miho returned with a smile typical of her.
"See you!" Chuck wished as he leaned closer to Miho's face.
"Ah..." Miho reacted as she froze up and blushed.
Before Chuck could close the distance, though, he was met with a hand wrapping around his throat and lifting him up to the level of a now pissed pair of blue eyes belonging to a certain blond-haired German ultra-ace. It looked somewhat comical given Chuck was somewhat taller in comparison.
"Did you not get the memo saying she was already taken?" Erich coldly stated to Chuck as he held him by the throat while standing. "If you had laid your lips on her, then just know that I would have already annihilated you by now." Erich then forcefully shoved Chuck back in the direction of the other Americans.
As Chuck regained his breath after being released, Kay looked on a bit awkwardly at the scene. "... Well, thanks for today, Miho," she eventually spoke up. "And sorry for, well... what just occurred... Anywho, see you!"
She and the other Americans then walked off. Kay was helping Chuck walk along as he still recovered from Erich's iron grip. Ray was hopping along with the group. He was hopping because he was still tied up completely.
Miho then turned to Erich as the Americans left the area. "Erm..." she began unsurely. "I want to say thank you for that, but at the same time, I don't like seeing people get hurt..."
Erich didn't respond for a bit before he sighed in defeat and hung his head a bit. "I know. I'm sorry, Miholein," he began. "I shouldn't have gotten so overprotective over you..."
Miho came forth and wrapped Erich in another embrace. "I'm not mad at you, Bubi," she assured with a calm smile. "I'm fine with you being protective of me. You have every right to be. But I just want you to know that you shouldn't resort to the kind of action you went to just now, okay?"
Erich soon cracked a smile as Miho leaned closer to him. "Alright," he replied.
Miho then softly kissed him in response, and Erich returned it.
"Man, it was almost like '90210' for a second there," Anzu remarked. She and Aprikose had witnessed the entire scene, which included the current scene of Erich and Miho kissing again.
"Well at least it didn't end up being like the Twilight saga," Aprikose spoke up.
Anzu smacked him upside the head in response. "Hey, that series is good! The ratings speak for themselves, so don't you dare deride it!"

Even when Saunders comes over to play, it's a battle!
