It happened, the Gate. It opened in Japan, and Pina Co Lada led forces beyond it, and started a new era of, Free and Peaceful trade between The Empire,
and Japan. But, we all know, 'Gates' like 'doors', open 'elsewhere'.
Pina was out for a ride, sharpening her riding skills.The JSDF has their 'transports', but you may never know, a horse would be handy.
She heard a low 'droning' overhead. ' A 'drone'?' She looked upward, and seen.., ' A young girl, with 'animal ears and tail' and 'flying devices' on her
legs and feet? A 'metal Harpy? ' ' The Princess, rode to inform the JSDF.
Christina Barkhorn, landed and put on her shoes. "Sargent?", asked a man of neat Brown hair and narrowed Blue eyes. " Colonel Fairbourne, there is another
'military' force here, besides the 'natives'." , said Christina. "What did they look like?", asked Fairbourne. " A 'fortress', with jet aircraft, and 'advanced' defenses.
The flag, similar to 'Fuso'.", said Christina. " ' Fuso'?", asked Fairbourne. " Yes, sir. Considering what I saw, I didn't take any risks.", said Christina.
" You did right. Grab some chow, check a staff car out. I, Lt.Cmdr. Sakamoto, and you, are going to talk to these people.", said Fairbourne.
Fort Alnus
" ' Metal Harpies'?", asked Itami. " Don't deny, what I seen.", said Pina. " Princess, for decades pilots and military members deny seeing 'strange' things.
But, for 'reasons'. Of course, those 'attitiudes' are changing.", replied Itami. They spotted other JSDF running past them.
"Shino, what is it?", asked Itami. " Visitors.", replied the female sargent.
Once outside, they seen the old, 'antique' staff car, a woman in 'WW2' Navy dress uniform, a 'German' girl in uniform jacket, White panties,
and Brown shoes, with a man, who is the 'leader'. " Colonel Karl Fairbourne, LNAF." " Lieutenant Commander Mio Sakamoto, IFN." " Sargent Christina Barkhorn,
Karlsland Military." " Where is your, ' ears and tail'?", asked Pina. " My familiar * shows tail and ears * mini pitbull. My 'magic power' is, 'adaption'.
Any demonstraition done live or in movies, I learn, and make my own.", replied Christina. Most women present, could only think , ' Precious.'
" Hazama, General, JSDF, and Commander of this post. How did you get here?" "A structure of unknown 'origin' opened outside Berlin,
and we established our 'post' not far from here. But, upon our arrival, we discovered one, beside it.", replied Fairbourne. " Sorry, to interject.
The second ' structure' is opening.", said Chrisitna hearing it, from her Comm. " RC3 will come with you.", said Hazama. " And, the Rose Knights.", said Pina.
Massive forces from both Sedaria and neighboring Salutania with JSDF and new 'friends', prepare to cross.
A 'structure' appeared between businesses at the edge of a small Missouri town. It opened, and the 'forces' moved through.

"America?", asked Fairbourne. " Yes, sir. North America.", replied Itami. They were in the Administration tent/Fairbourne's Office. " I sent Sgt. Barkhorn out,
to survey the area, she should return in a 'bit'.", said Fairbourne. " Wilcke reporting in.", said Minna. The Red head stepped in. " Colonel, Captain, 'another' is
forming besides the one we have, and a General Potter is coming, to take command.", said Minna."I'll deploy Miyafuji to the new 'Gate'. No sense having Sgt.
Barkhorn do everything.", said Fairbourne.
" I'm not here to 'horn in', Fairbourne. But, this WAS an Allied Command decision.", said Potter. " The 'Secondary' formed, and I deployed Miyafuji. But,
Karibuchi, Shibuya, Hattori and Lt. Karibuchi, followed.", said Fairbourne. " Barkhorn could, go later.", said Potter. Radar ran in. " Barkhorn flown back,
dropped the 'stuff' and flown into the 'Secondary'." " So, much for, 'standing down' Barkhorn.", said Potter.

The Takanashi and Misono families, reunited at Akiba Station.
Count Formal observed the 'Luminous Witches', in 'Lumine', a 'Grand Market' with smallers inside. They were looking at
'trinkets' to 'art shirts'. He couldn't help think, if Myuri would act the same, if she got to 'that' age. " 'Something' the matter?"
He seen Grace Stewart, being an 'inch' or two shorter. The lettering on the Yellow Bag she held, indicated she went to the ' shoe market .'

these ' moving stairs'. ", he said. " ' Escalators'.", replied Grace. " I imagine, there's not many in 'Italica'." "I wouldn't mind a 'few'.", replied Colt.
Colt known, he found his ' Lady Formal'.
Christina and some 'youngers' looked into the arcades, and had their prizes taken to H.Q., by Lila's 'blinding' speed.

" I, may had 'spoken' out of 'context'. Apologies, Ladyship.", said Head Maid Kane. He took Grace inaone arm hug, and kissed her forehead.
