Chapter 79 - Day Off
[Dortmund, Germany - 12AM]
(Gero and his team were staying at the new home of the children in Dortmund for a while. It was already midnight but Gero was unable to sleep so he decided to take a walk inside the compound. After a few minutes he caught a glimpse of Assam who was watching the starry sky on the balcony of their safe house)
"Yo.."
"Gero..what are you doing still up?" Assam asked
"I could ask the same thing to you.."
"Was thinking about my family back home..my friends..Darjeeling-sama.."
"I'm sure they miss having you around..don't worry you'll see them again once we get back.."
"I know..but when I get back we only have a few months left before graduation..after that I have no idea what to do.."
"I see..well that is something worth thinking about.."
"What about you?"
"I want to go to a university with Erika after we graduate..but I don't know if she would want to go with me.."
"Why wouldn't she?"
"Because I'll keep on fighting Pandora during my university years..I don't plan on stopping now..I'll keep on pushing forward.."
"It would be dangerous if she went with you..and if Pandora knew about her they'd target her in order to get to you.."
"I know..I want to be with her..but at the same time I want to keep her safe by being away from her.."
"What if being with her is the safest thing to do?" Assam asked
"I don't know..but whatever her decision is I'll respect it.."
"You truly are in love with her.."
"What's with that all of a sudden?"
"Nothing..it's just that I'm kinda jealous of you and Erika-san..both of you found each other..someone you plan to be with no matter what..I wonder if I can find someone like that.."
"I'm sure you'll find someone..we have long lives ahead of us..I just found mine earlier.."
"I do hope so.."
"There's even a chance that you've already met that person but both of you just passed each other.."
"And if we're really meant for each other fate will bring us together?" Assam asked
"Well..if you put it that way then yes.."
"Hmmm..I see..by the way do you have any plans tomorrow like the others?" Assam asked
"No..I plan on just chilling here with the kids..you?"
"Then let's go on a date tomorrow.."
"Ha..?"
"I want to enjoy Germany too but since everyone already had plans with each other you're the only one left.."
"O-Oh so I'll just have to assist you in your shopping ..r-right?"
"Nope..we are going on a D-A-T-E! On a DATE! So we're going to enjoy it!"
"Eeeeeh?" B-But…"
"What? It was you that gave the order to enjoy right? So we'll go on a date tomorrow and have fun..or are you saying that you'll be disobeying your own order Taichou?" Assam said with a grin
"Alright alright let's go tomorrow..a friendly date ok? Just a friendly date!"
"Yes yes a friendly date.."
"And please keep this a secret from the guys..my Kommandant might just kill me if ever she finds out.."
"I can confirm that she will kill you if she finds out..and she might kill me too so I don't intend on telling anyone..don't worry.."
"Alright then..let's enjoy tomorrow!"
"Yeah.." Assam smiled
"Oh by the way..I received word that Kuromorimine will be having a practice match this week.."
"Who will they be fighting?"
"The Seven Seats.."
"In preparation for the finals?"
"Yeah..they should be having their first match right now back in Japan.."
"Who are they fighting first?"
"St. Gloriana..your commander Darjeeling-san will be their first trial.."
[Kumamoto, Japan - Kuromorimine Practice Match Field]
(It was still 7AM in Japan and St. Gloriana had come to Kuromorimine's school carrier for their match. Both teams now have gathered their forces and are now ready to start the match. Erika and Darjeeling met at the middle of the field for their pre-match greetings with the referees)
"This is a 30-Tank Match between Kuromorimine High School University and Saint Gloriana College! It will be a Commander and Flag Tank Battle! You are not allowed to destroy the Commander Tank of your opponent unless you take out first the enemy Flag Tank! The team that white flags their enemy team's Commander Tank will be the winner!" Ami Chouno announced
"Thank you once again for helping us.." Erika said
"You're welcome..I do apologize if we're your opponent right off the bat.." Darjeeling smiled
"It's alright..you could say that we already knew that you'd be the first..and this is our chance to get payback for last time's loss.."
"Ohh? How did you know?"
"Woman's Intuition..besides you'll be the perfect opponents to try out our new doctrine..if it doesn't work on you then it won't work on Red Wings.." Erika smiled
"I see..then it better work.." Darjeeling smiled
"Both teams bow!" Ami Chouno ordered
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" everyone bowed
[Kuromorimine Tank Line Up]
"Alright everyone get ready, the match is about to start!" Koume said
"Listen up! I know this will be the first live match we'll have with the new doctrine..and some of you are nervous about it..but I believe that what we trained for this past week will bear fruit..if this works against Saint Gloriana then we'll have a chance at beating Red Wings..even without Bakatora.."
"Let's do this Kommandant! We got this!" Sakuraba cheered
"We'll show them that we are not getting carried by Gero-Taichou all the time!" Tojo shouted
"Definitely.."
"Uhmm..Kommandant.."
"Yes Alice-san?"
"Why did you make me the flag tank?" Alice asked
"Being the flag tank in this mode has the most responsibility out of everyone..and I think you are the right person in this team right now that can fulfil those responsibilities.."
"I understand.."
"And for your information it was Gero that suggested you to be the flag tank if ever he wasn't present.."
"Ehh..Nii-chan chose me?"
"Yeah..so do your best to not disappoint his expectations of you!"
"Jawohl Kommandant!" Alice smiled
[Saint Gloriana Tank Line Up]
"All tanks ready up! I know that the great White Tiger will not be joining us in our match today but Kuromorimine still has the notorious White Wolf so stay alert and do your best!" Darjeeling ordered
"Yes ma'am!" everyone saluted
"White Wolf?" Sencha asked
"I didn't know that Kuromorimine had someone like that.." Barley said
"That's because Gero-san took all the spotlights when he made his debut during the Joint Tournament..if the White Tiger hadn't shown up the White Wolf would've been the popular one right now.." Pekoe smiled
"Pekoe-sama, who's this White Wolf that Darjeeling-sama mentioned?" Rosehip asked
"Why it's none other than their Kommandant, Itsumi Erika.."
(When Darjeeling got inside their Churchill they had Nilgiri as their gunner since Assam was still in Germany)
"I'm looking forward to your marksman skills Nilgiri.." Darjeeling smiled
"Leave it to me Darjeeling-sama! I may not be as good as Assam-sama but I'll give them all that I got!" Nilgiri said
"Brilliant.."
(The match will be starting soon and a countdown has started in the audience)
5..!
4..!
3..!
2..!
1..!
"PANZER MARSCH!" Erika shouted
"All tanks forward!" Darjeeling ordered
(Both sides begun to move forward in their own formations)
[Seven Seats of Senshado Viewing Platform]
"Not fair! Why does Darjeeling get to go first!" Kay pouted
"We drew straws, remember? Not our fault you got the shortest one.." Katyusha said
"Look at it this way Kay-san..we get to see what kind of doctrine Kuromorimine has now.." Asparagus said
"Ehh but it would be boring knowing what kind of tricks they have..it's a lot more fun with surprises!"
"I get what you mean! Not knowing what the desert is after the meal is exciting!" Anchovy said
"Riiight?" Kay smiled
"Then don't watch.." Katyusha said
"Why are you being so mean to me so early in the morning Kat-chan?"
"Don't call me that!"
"Well we can just ask Maho-san what kind of surprises we'll get to see today.." Asparagus said
"I'm afraid I can't spoil anything for you guys..you're just going to have to watch it yourself.." Maho smiled
"Eehh..then give us a tiny clue!" Kay said
"Even if I wanted to..I couldn't.." Maho said
"What does that mean?" Katyusha reacted
"You'll see.." Maho smiled once more
[Viewing Platform #1 for VIPs]
"I wonder how they'll do without the White Tiger with them.." Chiyo said
"They'll be fine..this isn't the first time they'll have a match without my son.." Shiho said
"Yeah but this time they have a new doctrine which they'll be trying out for the first time..I also heard from Alice that they're betting all on this new doctrine for their match against Red Wings.."
"Anyone would bet everything during the finals..nothing new about that..I'm leaving the planning to Itsumi-kun..she knows what she's doing..I've got other things to worry about.."
"I know..have you heard anything from Gero-chan?"
"Nothing..what if I don't see him again? What if he doesn't come back?"
"Hey calm down..you sent him off because you know he will come back to us..I know Gero-chan will .."
"You're right..sorry Chiyokichi..thank you.."
"Of course..come on let's continue on watching the match.."
(All of them are worried about Gero's condition but little do they know he's already safe from harm and was just cornered by Assam to go on a date. Meanwhile Kaede and Shiori were discussing their own finals strategies together with their mother Mai)
[Yamato Family Household]
"I heard Kuromorimine is having consecutive 30-Tank matches in preparation for the finals.." Mai said
"That's some passion.." Kaede said
"You sure you don't want to watch the matches? Or at least have someone to record it?"
"No need..whatever doctrine they come up with..they will never win against our Yamato Style of Senshado.."
"Are you ready for the match?" Kaede asked
"Yeah..don't worry about it.." Shiori answered
"You already have a plan?" Mai asked
"I do..Kuromorimine only has three tanks that have the ability to penetrate our Jumbo's without problem and that's the Jagdtiger, the Maus, and their new Sturmtiger..as long as we stay clear of those three the rest is not important.."
"I see you're clearly not looking at the White Tiger.."
"Don't get the wrong idea..that plan was meant for the rest of Kuromorimine's forces..I'll personally deal with the White Tiger.."
"What makes you so sure he'll target you directly?" Kaede asked
"Oh he will..I know he will without a doubt.."
"Can you win?"
"I can.."
"What if he doesn't show up?"
"What do you mean?"
"I heard that the heir of the Nishizumi Family has gone missing.." Kaede said
"Where did you hear that?!" Mai shouted
(Yamato Mai unexpectedly raised her voice and scared her daughters a little. She was surprised that Kaede knew about Gero and couldn't help but react)
"W-What's wrong mother?" Shiori asked
"S-Sorry for suddenly shouting..I'm asking where did you hear that?"
"The Seven Seats were discussing something about Nishizumi Maho's older brother..she was asking if they knew where he was and they answered that they didn't..so I just thought he had gone missing.." Kaede said
"I see..it was just idle conversations.." Mai was relieved
"Do you know something about this mother?" Kaede asked
"The Nishizumi heir is not missing..he just had to go somewhere to pass some time..after losing his foster father he needed to rest.."
"That's understandable.." Shiori said
"Well wherever he is..I hope he doesn't come back..he'll be such a pain in the match.." Kaede said
(Just after saying that remark a loud and hard slap hit against Kaede's face enough to make it red. The slap came from none other than her mother Mai because she couldn't accept what her daughter said about Gero. Shiori also couldn't believe that she just saw her mother slap her sister)
"W-Why? Mother?" Kaede was in shock
"How could you say something so cruel? I raised you better than that Kaede.."
"So what if I said that to a total nobody!? I don't know him so why should I watch what I say?! He's the enemy that Shiori has to defeat to win! What more reason do I need!?" Kaede shouted
"But you do know him! You know him more than me and more than your sister!" Mai said
(Kaede didn't understand what her mother was saying. It was as if what she was saying wasn't making any sense for her.)
"What are you saying?" Kaede asked
"The person you're hoping to never come back is the person you have been looking for all your life.." Mai said
"Ha..? I don't understand..the person I've been looking for?"
(Then one name came into Kaede's mind which was Tsukasa Eiji the fake name of Gero)
"It can't be.."
"That's right..the boy named Nishizumi Gero and the heir of the Nishizumi Family..the person you don't want to come back..is Tsukasa Eiji.."
"Tsukasa..Eiji..? Shiori asked
"Impossible!" Kaede shouted
"Who's that?" Shiori asked again
"Your sister's classmate when she was in middle school.."
"Ehh?!" Shiori reacted
"No..you're lying! Eiji-kun is..he is.."
(When Kaede was trying to remember Eiji-kun's face a surge of pain came rushing into Kaede's head. She held her head in pain and fell to her knees)
"Onee-sama!" Shiori got worried
"Kaede! Kaede! What's wrong?!" Mai asked
"M-My head..every time I want to remember Eiji-kun's face..aarrgghh!"
"Don't force yourself! I'm sorry my daughter..I'm sorry for saying that.." Mai said hugging her daughter
(As the pain subsided tears started to fall from Kaede's eyes. The pain of not being able to remember the face of Eiji-kun was a lot harder to bear)
"Eiji-kun..Eiji-kun..where are you? I want to see you..." Kaede whispered
"Shh..it'll be alright..you'll see him again..don't worry.." Mai comforted her daughter
"Gero-san..and onee-sama..have known each other since they were kids..?" Shiori said in her mind
(Shiori was surprised to see this side of Kaede. All she ever saw of her sister was strict and strong. This was the first time she saw her this emotional and all she could do was stare. Meanwhile the said person that Kaede was looking for all her life was still in Germany enjoying a date with Assam)
[Dortmund City - Dortmund, Germany]
"Come one hurry up Gero!" Assam shouted
"Don't rush! We have the whole day.."
"All the more reason! So we could enjoy every second of this day off!"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Dortmund U Tower!" Assam said
"Then let's go!"
[Dortmund U Tower - Dortmund, Germany]
(This place was a former huge factory that was converted into a hub of artistic and creative activities. Works of different filmmakers and photographers are shown here for the public to see)
"Wow! This place is amazing!" Assam said
"Look at all these paintings dating back to the 20th century!"
"Truly something worth seeing.."
[Transport Museum - Dortmund, Germany]
(The next place they went to was the Transport Museum where vintage vehicles and a collection of old trams can be seen)
"It's unbelievable that these old trams were able to carry thousands of workers to the mines, coke plants, and steelworks.."
"Even in the old days they were able to invent these kinds of technology in order to progress further in their economy..humanity can both be competent and incompetent at the same time.."
"Hey! No bad vibes! Saying bad vibes like that is prohibited!" Assam pouted
"Ahaha sorry sorry.."
"Come on let's check out the Automobile Museum.."
(As they entered the automobile museum they saw countless vintage cars of different brands. All of them were beautifully restored and maintained which caught the eyes of Gero)
"Ohhh! These are so cool! Look at them Assam!"
"I am looking and yes they are fascinating.."
"This Jaguar looks so awesome! I wonder how long it took to restore this!"
"I prefer that Mercedes Benz over there..I'm sure it took them years to restore these into working conditions..I applaud their work.."
"I'll be sure to get one of these if ever I get the money for it!"
"Don't you already have the money? The Nishizumi Family is very wealthy right?" Assam asked
"That's the family's money..I want to buy this with my own hard earned money someday.."
"I see..how admirable of you.."
(Both of their stomachs started to grumble signaling them that it's time to eat)
"How about we grab a bite?"
"Sounds good to me.." Assam smiled
[Westfalenpark - Dortmund, Germany]
(After having lunch they headed to their next destination Westfalenpark which was the city's largest and most popular green space. Gero and Assam enjoyed an afternoon work gazing upon loads of flowers and plants which helped them relax)
"This place is amazing.."
"Places like this always blow my mind..who knew that plants and flowers would have so much effect on a person's mental state.."
"What do you mean?" Assam asked
"When me and my crew were hospitalized..believe it or not I was broken..I came very close to losing myself.."
"I didn't know it was that bad.."
"It was..Erika took me to the hospital's Healing Garden..it was kinda like this but it was just a small little garden..flowers and plants everywhere we go..both of us just walked around doing nothing and yet I felt like my soul was being healed little by little.."
"I see..I guess Erika-san saving you meant you being able to save those kids.."
"Yeah..she keeps on saving me every time..I owe her so much and I don't know how I'll ever repay her.."
"Oh please that's easy.."
"Is it? How can I repay her?"
"Just go back home and return to her.."
(Hearing those words surprised Gero very much. Because it was such an obvious answer and somebody else had to say it to him for him to realize)
"And once you are back and together with her again never leave her like this ever again..even if it's dangerous..even if it feels like it's the wrong move to make..stay beside her no matter what.."
"Did you just give an order to your commanding officer?"
"Of course not..I was merely scolding a friend.."
"Scolding huh?"
"So? Will you do it or not?"
"Yes ma'am.."
"Very good..come on let's go to one more place before we return to the sanctuary.."
"Where?"
[Game Center - Dortmund, Germany]
(Gero and Assam went to a game center to enjoy the last hours of their date. They first went to play air hockey)
"I challenge you to a duel with the games in this arcade!" Assam said
"Accepted! Don't go crying to Darjeeling-san when I beat you!"
(As their friendly match started in air hockey Assam quickly took the lead. Gero started to come back by scoring quickly immediately. After a few minutes of fighting Assam won 10-1 against Gero)
"Half of your score is from my mistake of hitting the puck back to my own goal!"
"Ara ara..could it be..?"
"Don't say it.."
"That the great White Tiger..who is a genius in Senshado..?"
"Don't! Please!"
"Actually sucks at games like this?" Assam teased with a grin
"NOOOOO! You actually said it! It's not my fault I'm not good at games arcade games!"
"It's quite surprising that you have something you are not good at.."
"Damn it..I'll show you! I'll beat you in the next games!"
(The next game they moved on to was a driving game and their match was best out of five. The first match started in Gero in the lead but Assam caught up and reached the finish line before him. This led to Gero getting tilted and ending up losing two more straight games. Assam won three to zero once again)
"Yaaay! That's two wins in a row!" Assam cheered
"Damn it's not fair! My car was drifting so much and my gear shift is too hard to move when changing gears!"
"Don't be a sore loser now..blaming it on the equipment.." Assam teased
"Grrr..I'll win the next one!"
(The third game they tried was a fighter plane game. Gero and Assam flew the skies in military jets fighting each other with missiles and machine guns. During every engagement Gero was eager to win because of his losing streak and ended up having his moves predicted by Assam every time. After being outsmarted and outmaneuvered by Assam his plane got shot out of the skies five times)
"Ara ara..looks like I'm the ace of the skies.." Assam bragged
"One more! One more! I have no future in air battles! Let's duke it out in ground battles!"
"Are you sure? I think I have this competition in the bag.." Assam said with a grin
"Oh don't count your chickens before they hatch! You might regret it!"
(The last game they played was a gundam battle game. It was one of the classic ground battle games where it was a one versus one match between gundams of different designs. They had jet packs on their backs but they couldn't fly up in the sky only dash quickly left, right, forward, and back. Gero then picked a heavy armored gundam while Assam picked a light armored one)
"Ohh? Are you sure that's your choice? One shot from me and I'll blow your robot apart!"
"That is if you can land a hit.." Assam taunted
"Oh you know I will!"
(As the match started Gero quickly dashed to the battlefield filled with complete confidence of winning. But soon his confidence disappeared when he couldn't land a single hit on Assam's gundam because it was too fast. Every shot by Gero missed the target and all shots Assam made hit him directly because he was too slow to dodge quickly. In the end Gero lost again to Assam ten to zero)
"What was it you said? Don't count your chickens before they hatched?" Assam said
"You are too strong Assam..I had no chance of winning.."
"This is the sweetest taste of victory I have ever experienced!" Assam smiled
"Can we go home now?"
"Let's go!"
(While walking through the game center Gero's soul was exiting his body after the match and Assam was very happy with her flawless victory. She then saw a photo booth by the entrance so she decided to pull on Gero's arm and brought him inside)
"Hey! What are we doing here?"
"Well since we can't tell this to anyone I'm going to get a photo to remember this day.."
"Geez..just one ok?"
"Great! I want you to choose what kind of frame we'll use!"
"Ok ok give me a sec.."
(While Gero was browsing the frames Assam looked at him very closely. It was the first time she'd spent a whole day with a guy and she was filled with mixed feelings. She was both happy and excited while sad because it was about to end. She was confused why she was feeling down then she remembered what Gero said)
"I'm sure you'll find someone..there's even a chance that you've already met that person but both of you just passed each other.." Assam recalled
"I see..I finally understand now..I guess I've already met that person we were talking about..I just never noticed that it was you all along Gero.." Assam said in her mind
(As she was recalling all the times that she talked with Gero and all the times that they had been close to each other and yet she never noticed her own feelings for him. She thought she just wanted to beat him and be better than him in Senshado but she also wanted to stand side by side with him. She found it very funny and cliche that she just blushed slightly at the thought)
"Alright this should be a good enough frame don't you think?"
"You sure picked a very cute one.." Assam smiled
"Eh? You think so?"
(Assam knows that the only person that Gero is looking at is Erika and she knows as well that he will never look at her more than a friend or a comrade. She accepted it and she didn't feel any pain in her heart as she accepted her defeat in the war of love)
"I'll accept this loss.." Assam smiled
"Loss? You won every match!"
"It's nothing..look smile! The timer's starting!"
(As the timer for the camera ran she thought of doing something that would truly let her move on from this loss. She suddenly tugged on Gero's arm pulling him down on his left side then he felt a warm and soft sensation on his left cheek. Just right before the camera took their picture Assam had given Gero a kiss on the cheek)
"Sayonara, watashi no hatsukoi.." Assam thought
[Farewell, my first love..]
(As they were going back to the sanctuary Assam was just looking at the cute picture of him and Gero. She was very satisfied and she will now treasure that picture forever until she finds her next love)
"Geez..now you really can't show that picture to anyone..especially Darjeeling-san! If she finds out she'll definitely tell Erika!"
"Don't worry I'll be careful not to show it to anyone.." Assam smiled
"My life is literally in your hands now.."
"Gero!"
"Hmmm?"
"Thank you very much for this day..I really had fun.." Assam smiled with a blush
"Sure thing..I had fun too.."
[Sanctuary - Dortmund, Germany]
(Gero and Assam have now returned to the sanctuary and they met with their team who also just got back from their day off)
"Tadaima!"
"Okaeri..looks like you two had fun.." Naomi teased
"If by fun you..did you mean getting wrecked by Assam at every game in the game centre then I don't want to have fun anymore.."
"You do suck at those games.." Ono said
"Shut up!"
"Let's have a go sometime! If I can't beat you in Senshado then maybe I can kick your ass in games!" Kal said
"You're on! By the way where's Ray and Alisa?"
"They just called in and said they'll be back tomorrow morning.."
"Why? Did something happen?"
"Oh no they're fine..they just checked in a hotel in Hamburg..they'll stay the night there.."
"Hmmm..Ray is a lot more bold than I thought..early honeymoon?" Ono said
"Or Alisa tied him down and is now about to be violated by her.." Naomi said
"Not a pretty sight.." Kal said
"Rest in peace..Ray.."
(As they were laughing about Takashi and Alisa they were just being watched by Klara and Assam. Both of them were happy to see smiles on the faces of their friends even after all that had happened)
"You look a lot better..I'm glad.." Klara said
"Yes..sorry to make you all worry.."
"Did Taichou take care of you on your date?" Klara teased
"Well I dragged him all over the town..we did enjoy.."
"Hmmm..I think something else happened..I wonder what?" Klara teased again
"Maybe? It's a secret.." Assam smiled
"Alright since the two love birds are coming back tomorrow, we're going to start helping out with the place tomorrow when everyone is here..let's make a very warm home for the children!"
"Roger!" everyone saluted
"Young master!" Sgt. Sakurai called out
"Yes Sakurai?"
"I just received word that Kuromorimine won their practice match against Saint Gloriana.."
"Ohh! Nice!" Ono cheered
"Your Kommandant sure is amazing winning against Darjeeling-san.." Naomi said
"Looks like Erika got her revenge for the loss they experienced before.."
"I'm sure Darjeeling-sama is feeling down right now.." Assam said
"Don't worry I'm sure she'll bounce back from this.."
"But still managing to beat Saint Gloriana without you is something to be proud of..I'm not sure if Katyusha-neesama is capable of such a thing.." Kal said
"Your sister is gonna knock you out if she heard you say that.." Naomi said
"She's not here so it's fine..besides she also admitted that to me before.."
"I was confident that even without me they could handle it..I trained them so that they could win on their own..we'll be graduating soon so I won't always be there to help them.."
"I know what you mean.."
"Anyways I've got to send them a gift for their win.."
"What did you have in mind?" Klara asked
"Something very awesome!"
[Kuromorimine/Saint Gloriana Practice Match - Kumamoto, Japan]
(Everyone of the Seven Seats was shocked as they watched how Kuromorimine defeated Saint Gloriana)
"W-What the heck happened?" Asparagus reacted
"I don't know..everything happened so fast.." Anchovy said
"I've never seen Darjeeling get cornered like this.." Katyusha said
"All of her moves were read and countered.." Kay said
"This is the doctrine that Erika came up with..she has already surpassed me in being a Kommandant..that makes me very proud.." Maho smiled
(The audience was screaming their cheers for Erika's performance and some of them had forgotten who she was because Gero took the spotlight during his debut)
"The White Wolf is amazing!"
"Kuromorimine's White Wolf and White Tiger is the strongest!"
*TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA *TORA
*OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI *OOKAMI
(Along the battlefield everyone saw tanks from both schools destroyed and white flagged. Bits and pieces of metal and tracks laying on the ground as two powerhouse schools clashed. Darjeeling was on top of her Churchill with a white flag on top of it and her expression was a very shocked one)
"You truly are one unpredictable woman..White Wolf.." Darjeeling smiled
"Saint Gloriana Commander Tank has been taken out! Kuromorimine Wins!" Chouno announced
"Yoosshaaaaa!" Sakuraba shouted
"We won!" We won!" Tojo shouted
"Erika-san! It worked! Our doctrine worked!" Koume said
"Yeah..with this we have a chance against Red Wings.."
(Erika was wearing her tanker uniform on her shoulders like a cape. Koume noticed that there was stitches on the sleeve and realized that it wasn't Erika's uniform but Gero's)
"That uniform.."
"It's Gero's..I stitched it up because it was badly damaged after the semi-finals..wearing this gave me the confidence I needed.."
"I see..that's a wonderful thing.." Koume said
"Did you see me, my love? I did my best..I'll continue doing my best so please come home soon.." Erika said in her mind while thinking about Gero
"Kommandant!" Alice called out
"Well done Alice-chan..your nii-chan will be proud.." Erika smiled
"Thank you very much!"
"Good work everyone! Return to base!" Erika ordered
"JAWOHL!"
