One day aboard the Zuikaku, Saori was busy showing off her recently done nails to Hana. Both were in their school uniforms. Saori's nails featured tank designs on them, mainly those representing the Panzer IV. Among the particular design details were an outline for a later KwK 40-armed Panzer IV, the track patterns, the front drive sprockets, and the road wheels.

"Oh my, Saori, what lovely nails!" Hana complimented as Saori showed off her nails to her.

"Yesterday, I found this awesome nail salon," Saori revealed with an elated smile. "I just got them done today! I'm keeping these babies secret from the Public Morals Committee."

A bit later, she showed them off to Erich, as well, who was in his normal school attire. The blond-haired German ultra-ace just happened to be passing by her area when he took notice of Saori's nails.

"Ooh, Panzer designs," he commented with a smile. "Those look real pretty."

"I know, aren't they?" Saori replied with a smile and a bit of a blush at getting another compliment.

"Yeah, I agree. But, well, when you're doing some of these kinds of sports, I heard from Miholein that nails can get cracked or gouged, and that fake nails can peel off. I can only trust her word on that, but, hey, do your best if you love them so much!"

Saori lost a bit of her eagerness as she looked at her nails after hearing Erich's words.

Erich looked on at her current state with his usual smile. 'I hope she's not the kind of person that shoots the messenger,' he thought at the same time.
