Hello, my comrades, I was going to post this chapter earlier but college said no, you're gonna finish that finals test. And so I did. Anyway, here's the latest chapter and the third chapter maybe going in soon too.
To the reviews first before we start:
bri1967: Yeah, that's how I want to put it, considering how much FoZ has been crossovered.
Robo Reader 21: Can't find a good name for it, maybe later, maybe.
Faldorion: Thanks for pointing it out to me, I still quite suck at German.
Now, Back to the show:
DISCLAIMER: GuP and FoZ is owned by the people who made them, I'm not plagiarizing.
Senshado und nichts - 2『Die Mutter und das Anfägerin 』
[Shiho]
Dear Miho, every one of us faced a dillema in life, our lineage in tankery is one of them. Before, I tried to run away just like you but my mother was ruthless, she hunted me and tried to bring me back again and again into our methodology in tankery but I never liked it one bit.
"Shiho-san!" Aya shouted from the driver's hatch of the Pershing before pointing up.
"Zeppelin, eh." I replied to her without a radio. As the radio officer and the commander, it was vital to me to assess the situation.
"How are we going to do this then?" Soryū-san said from the Luchs' driver's hatch.
"Where are the others?"
"We are down to three and we are playing hide and seek with a Calliope and we only had taken out what, three of them?" Kuga, our loader spoke.
"Four actually," I corrected her.
"And they still have two Pershings!"
"Kuga, calm down!" I shouted, "so we have Waffle tractor, a Pershing and a Luchs, I want Luchs to scout, Pershing on me, we'll ambush them one by one. Luchs, please change radio frequency, Pershing, we'll rely on signal flags but we'll be sending decoy signals."
"Hai!"
It was ruthless, barbaric and inadaptable. A madchen, no, a frau taught me that tankery is just the same as flower arrangement.
"Shiho, what kind of round?" Yuri asked me.
"APCR," I replied. Kuga-san soon then placed a lighter and smaller round into the breech. "Two Pershings, a firefly and two M4s, can't recognize what variant though." The group was just a click ahead and they had just fell for our trap. I soon stood up and started carrying a detonator and an AP round. Three, two, one, showtime. The smoke rounds soon popped and covered the empty part of the forest. Their rounds were fired at the smoke which then hit nothing, but our rounds took out the two Pershings. I quickly passed the round and soon the others fell. I guess that our win is dependent on the Luchs.
Elegance was the key, adaptability was the measure and accuracy was the finishing touches.
"Shiho-san! We found the Calliope! You were right, it was the flag tank!" It was the greatest news that we could ever had. "And bad news, we're spotted."
"Yuri, what now?"
"Give me a place where we could hit them." I soon rushed for the map to find an open field and a tall ridge. Time to copy from Unser Rommel's book. I soon found it, a tall ridge and a large field.
"Where are you now, Luchs?"
"K12, moving towards J11."
"Take a sharp left before entering J11, we'll try to help you out!"
"Well, better do it fast, these guys had some friends with them!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yuri, do you have then on the sight?"
"Hush." Then, the 12.8 cm Kanone lobbed an AP projectile. Ranging over 3 kilometers, this was just an easy shot for a cannon that was designed to hit their enemies from afar.
I also knew from my comrades across the nation that this is not war, this is just a game for friendship.
"Nice game, Shiho!" Christie, the leader of the Saunders Team, shook hands with me.
"That was some fine shooting there, Oarai," Sorbet came near us.
"Have you seen what they did to Kuromorimine earlier, ha, the faces were suddenly blank the moment the game ended, isn't that right tovarishch?" Palova patted me on the back.
"That's a lovely win, mate, so, care to have some tea with us sometime?" Earl Grey came up to us.
"Haha, probably, after we fix things back in the ship that is."
"Okay, okay, tata Shiho." They soon left me for their respective teams.
My mother was the opposite. Since I returned home after our hard yet fun journey, your grandmother drilled the Nishizumi style of tankery in my mind.
"Shiho! You are to return home or else be disowned by me!" Lady Anne shouted at me.
"Why! Why do I need to do this?"
"Because you are the only heir to the Nishizumi-style of Panzerfahren and only a Nishizumi can master the Nishizumi-style, do you get what I'm saying?"
"Yes mother, but pl-"
"Your father is waiting for you, and so is the academy. If this was to continue, I will swear to abolish or help abolish Oarai High School no matter what just to have you back!" That sentence struck something in my mind. Like a slave I was forced, like a monkey I was taught, but I needed to set things aside for the Oarai High School, the school of my beloved friends.
After her death, my father was not pleased with my movements until he died. I still remember those days that's why I got caught up in the flow. After your fight with Pravda, I saw that you had what I didn't back then, you had the courage to face your fears even in the brink of danger. I was to divert you two from the Nishizumi style of tankery but due to the peers of the crowd, I force feeded your sister the traditional style of the family which I soon regretted. Please forgive me, Miho.

"Pack it up ladies, we still have some practice to do!" Momo shouted from the back.
"Yeah, like a radio operator has something to do," I deadpanned, "hey, Saori, want to grab something to eat?"
"No thanks, Porshce-san, I've been looking at my diet lately."
"Okay, if you say so." After being in the garage for a month's worth of time, I've learnt how to fix things and write Kanji, Hiragana, and Latin, well, German and English but that's not the case. I've also became a member of the Anteater team but I'm much more part of the Mechanical Club. Tankery saved me from dying and I also need to pay back, right? The Oarai Girls High School team is the current champion but since it was just opened again, we only have 34 members, including me, and that's not enough to fully man the 8 tanks we have! I soon recognized that even if the smell of iron and oil is different from the smell of sweat and flowers, it was a good game to play. I soon loved the roar of the cannons and after watching lots and lots of TV in the convince store that I part-timed in, it became a passion to me. I also learned each and every one's tactics. From the Kuromorimine's Blitz, to the Maginot's defense, each and every team's tactic is different. It may be a contact sport in some terms but I saw that they could make friends across the country. The bag of raisins that I was eating was soon emptied while I was thinking of what is my future gonna be. I still do want to answer my past but the future should be the one in my mind as the past is irreversible anyway. I still do wonder where we are even if I look at the map.
"Oi, Porsche-san! We need some help here!" Nekota shouted.
"What is it?" Probably the sprocket or the engine.
"How do you actually fire the Co-ax again?"
"You see this trigger? This one is for the co-ax."
"Are you ready ladies, cause we're gonna have a shoot out!"
"Attention girls, we'll have our sparring match as a team effort. A 4 versus 4 death match situation to even the odds. I have four sticks with blue tips and four without, that will decide the grouping." Momo was kind in the grouping but out luck wasn't.
"Arigato Gozaimasu!" It signified the start of the match as what I know. We were grouped with the Mallard, Hippo and Duck teams so it was quite a fair fight. Quite is the correct word as the Hippo team is the only capable tank, besides ours, penetrating the Leopon's Tiger(P)'s sides.
"How are we going to do this?" I asked rhetorically.
Okay, before you react, Christie, Palova, and Sorbet are characters that I made to complete the back story. Earl Grey and Shiho was already in the GuP canon and I assure you that they are going to show up in some later chapters.
Now that's done, yeah, I'm not even asking you to do what the others request you to do.
