Exchange at the Training Ground!

Miho
This is the training ground used for Sensha-do classes.

Iroha
So this is where you drive tanks and have practice matches. That's amazing...

Kamira
It's so huge... Wait, thinking about it again, is all of this scenery really on a ship!?

Mito
I know. Not just the school, but there are many shops in the town area too... It really feels like an entire city.

Iroha
It does... It's completely different from where we live, I'm impressed...

Miho
I see, this is Senju-san and everyone's first time on a school ship, right?

Iroha
Ah...! Please feel free to call me Iroha! We're in the same grade after all.

Miho
Is that okay...? Then, I'll call you Iroha-chan.

Saori
Hey~, that's not fair! I want to call everyone by their first names too, and I want to be called by mine! It makes it easier to become friends!

Saori
Hey~ Mito-chan, try calling me Saori-chan?

Mito
S-Saori-chan...?

Saori
That's it! Looking forward to being with you!

Mito
Ehehe... looking forward to it.

Kamira
This is nice~. Making friends like this feels very much like what a trial school day is about.

Hana
Fufu, indeed.

Tsubomi
...Hmm?

Mako
yawn...

Tsubomi
Excuse me. You said this is a training ground, right? There seems to be someone sleeping over there... Isn't that dangerous?

Yukari
That is... Reizei-dono! Sleeping on the training ground... how bold!

Kamira
What, what, is she an acquaintance?

Miho
Yes, she's our friend. We were on the same team for the Sensha-do tournament.

Saori
Geez, Mako~! It's dangerous to sleep in a place like that!

Mako
Saori... Who are those people?

Miho
They're Senju-san and the others, trial students.

Mako
Why is everyone together?

Miho
Well, that's because...

Mako
I see, you've been showing them around the school, and now you've come to the training ground.

Hana
Though the choice is free, there are "Sensha-do" classes, so we thought it would be good to show them the training ground too.

Mako
Elementary school students came for a field trip earlier, there's been a lot of people coming and going lately.

Iroha
Elementary school students...?

Mako
Yeah. They were over there just now...

Kamira
Wait, Towa!?

Iroha
Isn't that Towa-chan over there!?

Hana
Towa...chan? Is she an acquaintance?

Tsubomi
Motosu Towa, an elementary school student who belongs to the same theatre troupe as us.

Mito
Then, the ones on the field trip are...

Iroha
Towa-chaaan!

Towa
Huh? Why are you guys here?

Kamira
That's my line.

Tsubomi
We're here for a trial school day. Right now, we're being shown around the school.

Towa
Eh, Tsubomi and the others too...!? What a coincidence.

Mito
Yeah...Towa-chan, what were you doing here alone?

Towa
I'm in free time during the field trip. I was looking around to write a report.

Saori
Field trip?

Towa
This high school won the national Sensha-do tournament, right? They showed us the actual tanks earlier.

Yukari
You know about it! My, my, such enthusiasm for Sensha-do at such a young age... You have a promising future!

Towa
That's why it's a field trip. It's part of our lessons.

Mito
But...why are you alone, Towa-chan? What about your friends and teacher?

Towa
gulp

Mako
Most likely, she's been slacking off without following the group.

Towa
That's not it! I was just thinking about what theme to choose. I-if I have the chance, I want a special report that's different from everyone else's, right?

Miho
I see...you're studious!

Towa
H-hahaha...

Tsubomi
But, have you figured out what this "special report" of yours will be about?

Towa
Well...I'm going to look for it now.

Saori
I see~, I hope you find it soon.

Towa
......

Kamira
A Sensha-do field trip, huh... We also have Sensha-do as an elective class. Though we haven't decided whether to take it yet.

Towa
Hmm, is that so?

Saori
We do tanks, and it's pretty fun!

Mako
We even entered the tournament. It was for the perk of overlooking tardiness, though.

Iroha
That's right...! I know that you won the championship too!

Towa
Seriously...!? You guys are the championship members!?

Miho
Ehehe...actually, yes.

Tsubomi
National champions...that's quite an achievement.

Tsubomi
If they help you, wouldn't you stand out from the other students?

Towa
That's right...! So, will you help me?
