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.

On yet another evening aboard the Zuikaku, the friends of Miho and Erich were all gathering at said pair's apartment again for another dinner together. Everyone there so far was in their usual school outfits. There was only one more person that hadn't arrived yet.
Miho herself was buzzing around the place getting everything set up for their guests, which included all of the food there. There was notably a decent amount of kotatsu amongst the food. She had learned how to make it from Saori earlier, and she now felt confident she could make it well. Everyone else simply stayed clear out of her way.
Erich was off doing something that would be considered normal for him. He was sleeping on the bed and letting Miho do all the work with setting everything up.
Soon enough, Miho heard a knock on the door. "Bubi, kannst du das bekommen?" she asked as she held a dish of food in each hand.
"Zwei mehr Minuten…" Erich muttered sleepily from the bed. He was sprawled out all over it with no particular way as to how he slept.
"Zwei mehr Minuten, mein Arsch! Aufwach!" Miho commanded. She kicked him against the shoulder to emphasize her point as she walked past him. The kick wasn't nearly powerful enough to hurt him, but it was powerful enough to emphasize her point. She was able to balance herself upright during said kick without spilling over any of the food she was carrying, a remarkable feat.
"Ugh… Fein, fein…" Erich relented and sleepily got up. He then headed over to the door in a similar manner.
He opened the door to find Saori standing there waiting in her school uniform. She also had her bag with her. Most distinctive about it was that it had a black cat's head on one side of it.
"Hey, I'm here, you two!" Saori greeted cheerful as always. She then shivered a bit as she brought her hands together. "Brr… It's a bit chilly outside, isn't it?"
By this time, Erich had fully woken up. "Oh, hey Saori," he greeted with a calm yet inviting smile. "Glad you could make it. Come on in," he beckoned as he waved his hand in a beckoning motion.
"Thanks!" Saori thanked and entered the apartment. She took off her shoes and left them at the entry way for the apartment just inside.
After she entered, Erich shut the door and headed back into the apartment's main area with Saori behind him. "Miho made some… kotatsu, if that's how you say it…?" he briefly wondered. He then waved off in dismissal. "Anyway, she made some of that for all of us."
"Oh, sounds great!" Saori remarked as she took a seat at the table. Said table had a tablecloth that decorated it for the moment, which extended down to the floor. "I'd love to try some of hers!"
At that same time, Erich also went back to his bed and flopped into it as he fell asleep again. Miho was walking by at the time with two more dishes in hand, and she just rolled her eyes in resignation at the sight of her boyfriend being his usual extreme level of laziness.
"Kotatsu, kotatsu…" Saori heard a voice speak up relatively quietly from nearby.
"Huh?" she wondered in confusion as she looked around. "Who was that?" Miho was nearby and had a raised eyebrow. She was evidently confused as well.
Saori then saw a hand shoot out from under the tablecloth and grab her ankle.
"Aaaaaaaaah!" she screamed in terror as she immediately pulled her foot back out of the hand's grasp. She had also stumbled back, and she ended up curling up on the ground with her ass facing up while holding her purse over her head as she started trembling.
Miho grew a look of alarm at the sight, and she set down the food on the table so she could go concern herself with Saori's current scared state of mind.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you earlier," Erich sleepily began from the bed as he raised a finger high up. "But David got here before you did."
As Erich implied, David popped out from under the table through the tablecloth to find Saori trembling still. "Oh," he realized with his normal emotionless look. "Sorry about that, Saori." Evidently, it was him who had grabbed her by the ankle and scared her shitless. Why he was under the tablecloth was most likely because he was using the darkness provided to sleep.
