The four walls of the room that Akiyama Yukari found herself in was bare except for the steel door that led into the small chamber. The only adornments of said steel room was the two chairs on each side of a small metal table and the young woman found herself sitting in one.
She knew where she was. Yukari was on the Graf Zeppelin, the school carrier for Kuromorimine Girls' Academy, that was floating off the east coast of Japan. She was pretty sure she was in one of the heavier outbuildings of the school itself since she could see here the heavy rains beating heavily on the roof above.
Normally, she would be excited to be here. The odds of seeing a Panzer IV Ausf. G or a Panzer VI Ausf. B Königstiger was enough to get the wild haired tanker's heart race. It was racing for a different reason.
In two days, Oarai Girls Academy was having a battle match against Kuromorimine and it did not help her case that the girl was sitting in earlier mentioned chair while wearing the gray uniform with black trim of of Kuromorimine.
Yukari looked down at the table waiting and trying to keep her breathing calm. Her video camera sat to the side, the SSD card only ten percent filled before Iruma Anna spotted her walking towards the hangers where the registered tanks that their school would be using were hidden. Yukari only got about five feet sprinting before Anna had flattened her, held her down, and tied her hands declaring her a prisoner of war.
That was why her hands were together and tied with a red satin ribbon in the cutest bow. It wasn't tight nor did it actually restrain her. It was the supplementary rules to Sensha-do that Yukari had to follow. Everyone knew about the Federation's rulebook but there was a second book of conduct that all the schools had agree to between themselves to cover situations that the National League did not make illegal. Spying was completely legal and the ribbon was a sign that you were captured and you couldn't take it off yourself.
Yukari sighed and tapped her heel not quite sure if everything was still going to go to plan. The plan didn't take into consideration she would be captured.
The door banged open and the young woman jumped. Yukari swallowed seeing the mischievous grin of the one woman she did not want to see.
Istumi Erika.
"Well, well, well. Anna did catch a big fish," Erika crooned as she strode into the room pushing her platinum blond hair out of her eyes. The woman was already wearing the black and red combat uniform of Kuromorimine and under her one arm, she carried a manila folder.
"She's fast," Yukari admitted.
Anna followed Erika in with a smile on her face.
"You did put up a good struggle, Yukari-san, but you were no match for me."
"I admit it but...can I have my panties back at least?"
Erika sat down in the chair and threw the folder down between them.
"No," Erika said with a malicious grin. "It's more of a guarantee that you won't try to escape. Our uniform skirts are quite short and it would be seriously unlady like for you to be prancing around with nothing underneath."
A red blush came to Yukari's face as she tried to pull the hem of her skirt just a little bit lower.
"What are you going to do with me?" The Oarai tanker asked.
"Simple. We plan to ask you a few questions and then you're going to make yourself at home in one of our lovely, little, guest rooms in the lower decks until the upcoming match is incomplete."
Yukari's eyes went wide.
"Wha…what? But...Miho-domo is going to need me!"
"Exactly," Erika cackled. "I'm going to take every advantage I can when it comes to Nishizumi-san and having her prize loader cooling her heel pantyless in a cell is just icing on the cake."
"You won't win!" Yukari squealed slamming her small fists on the table. "Miho-domo is amazing and strong and smart and beautiful! She'll whip her sister again just as she did last time."
"Oh?" Erika asked opening the folder and taking out the questionnaire. "that's going to be hard when Maho isn't going to be in command."
"What?" Yukari asked shocked. "But...Miho-domo is sure she's going to be going up against her siste.r That's why we're prepping the Sturmgeschütz III with a longer barrell-"
The tank covered her mouth with a squeak. "You...you didn't hear that."
"Too late," Erika chuckled writing it down. "You are seriously a horrible spy."
Yukari hung her head her trying to hide the shame that was covering her face and Anna gave the girl a soft pat on the shoulder.
"Don't fret," Anna said sweetly. "Erika-sama is really good that these interrogations. She got the Saunders girl to give up her entire line without realizing it last match."
"If they're going to field the Sturmgeschütz III, " Erika said to Anna standing with a sigh. "We need to consider swapping out our supports for Panzer IV Ausf. Gs. Nishizumi-san is excepting the orderly movement and is going to try to snipe us so I want heavies that can break their attack and crush them."
"Yes, ma'am. I'll tell Hida-chan so we can get them all ready to go."
"Anything else you want to tell us?" Erika asked mockingly. "Help us out and we might consider getting you transferred here where you can learn real tankery."
Yukari jut glared back.
With that, Erika stood and made her way out while Anna gave the captured tanker and apologetic look.
"You want me to move her?"
"Nah, she's not going anywhere. Not unless she wants to flash the entire school. The wind is rough right now." Erika laughed and Yukari was all alone.
The room had gone silent again except for the rain that was pounding the roof. Yukari noticed that the folder had been left. She spun it around to look at it and not only saw that it was the little notes that Erika had made but she had the officially submitted list of tanks, reserves, and commanders that was submitted to the official list.
"You got to be kidding me!" Yukari broke into a big grin. "This is better than a video!"
Standing abrupty, she scooped up her camera and tossed it into the backpack they had left in the corner and shoved the folder there to. It took a moment to put the backpack around her neck since her hands were still bound as she wasn't going to violate the rules.
She leaned down to whisper into the iron cross symbol pinned to her lapel.
"You're not gonna believe what I got. This is working out sooo much better than I thought! I'm moving to Point Bravo for extraction!"
pushing the door open, she saw the short hallway was also empty and Yukari found herself peering out the door down the field towards the landing pad where the helicopters would land. It was a good run across open fields and even in the rain, The girls were drilling their march formations.
Yukari looked down at her short skirt. Losing her panties was not in the plan but the humiliation was worth it if Miho-domo got the information she needed. She would suffer a thousand humiliations for her commander.
Gritting her teeth and looking to where she was going, Yukari started to sprint. The rain struck her hard soaking through her clothes almost immediately and as she ran, the wind pulled her skirt right up around here waist. She was too focused to run and keep from losing her backpack even knowing that she was fully on display.
"What? No!" came a screech and Yukari looked over her shoulder to see Anna in the distance start running towards her.
At the pad, one of the helicopters started spinning up and Yukari gave a bee-line towards it. She knew she was going to make it before Anna could catch up to her.
"Fooled ya!" squealed Yukari at Anna whose disbelief was written completely on her face. She wiggled her ass at Anna who blushed. "You'd think this is enough to stop me from helping my beautiful commander Miho!"
All the students were watching the show down as Yukari made it to the helicopter. If anyone had been paying attention to the coming and going, they would have noticed that the helicopter wasn't even a Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Drache but a American Sikorsky R-4 painted in Kuromorimine colors.
The hatch flew open as Yukari pulled herself up on the landing strut, the helicopter already screaming to life and preparing to take off.
A hand reached out from the helicopter and pulled trying to tug the overly enthusiastic girl into the co-pilot's chair.
"Stop taunting them and get in Guderian!" Erwin ordered as she released her friend and began to get the helicopter to lift off the ground.
Erika had finally caught up where Anna was watching, still in disbelief as the rotery bird lifted off the ground, banked and darted away from the aircraft carrier. Yukari made sure to give Erika the middle finger as the blond jumped up and down screaming what had to be expletives in their direction.
Erwin tugged on the bow releasing the ribbon around Yukari's hand and she threw her arms around her friend.
"Ew! You're gonna get me wet! I'm trying to fly here, ya floof!" Erwin laughed trying to shove the soaked girl away whose hair was getting in her eyes.
Yukari pulled open her backpack and saw the envelope was still there.
"You get some good stuff?"
"They're entire submission form," Yukari cackled. "They can't change it, they can only modify their setup. We know exactly whose going to be fielded. Itsumi-san literally left it in front of me."
"I heard in the mic they stole your underwear?" Erwin asked. "And you still ran out in this weather?"
"They think that's going to stop me?"
"You do realize you flashed an entire field of students. They got to see everything...I can see everything. Cover yourself, woman!"
Yukari hastily pulled her wet skirt back down that had been riding up.
"I'm really glad you came along with me this time," Yukari finally said. "You were right. They were expecting me. I'm so glad you had this backup plan."
"And Miho will be happy to know she's not going up against her sister. Erika is good but so easily to piss off. I'm just wondering how Miho is going to respond that her girlfriend was flashing a school."
"Can we not tell her?" Yukari offered.
"Are you kidding?" Erwin laughed. "That story is gonna get me free spiced sake."
Okay. Now Yukari was embarrassed.
