Iroha
Wow! It's my first time seeing a tank up close like this!

Mito
Right...! I never thought we'd get to see one before taking the class...

Miho
This tank is called a Panzer IV Ausf. H.

Iroha
Wow... What kind of performance does this tank have?

Miho
Hmm, it has balanced performance that can handle both offense and defense... I'd say?

Miho
It can reach good speeds, has good turning performance and mobility, and we added armor to increase its defense.

Tsubomi
I see... Even so, to be able to examine a tank in such detail before choosing classes...

Saori
It's easier to make a choice if you see what it's like beforehand, right? I think it helps you imagine it better!

Yukari
We'd be happy if more people became interested in Sensha-do!

Towa
But we were already shown these during the field trip earlier...

Miho
Yes. That's why I thought maybe you'd like to actually touch it.

Tsubomi
Touch...? You mean go inside the vehicle?

Kamira
Ehh~!? Are we allowed to do that!?

Miho
Yes. We got permission.

Mako
It's for a special report, after all.

Towa
Grr... Then I'll gratefully accept the opportunity to go inside...

Tsubomi
Hmm... so this is what it looks like inside. Amazing...

Kamira
Incredible... Is that the shell? It's so big...

Yukari
Yes! The loader loads this, the gunner takes aim, and then fires!

Yukari
Let's see, and — over there is the driver's seat.

Kamira
Driving, huh~. Even when I drive in racing games, I find it pretty difficult.

Yukari
In our team, Reizei-dono usually drives.

Kamira
Is that so!? Amazing!

Mako
Anyone can do it if they read the manual. Here, you can sit down.

Kamira
Senpai, what do you think? You were staring intensely earlier!

Tsubomi
Is it alright? Then excuse me...

Tsubomi
...Oh. So the steering is like this...

Mako
It's not that complicated, right?

Tsubomi
Hmm... I don't know if I could do it, but it certainly seems interesting to try moving it.

Yukari
Right!? I'm glad you're interested!

Miho
And... this is where the commander stands. They open the hatch to check the situation outside and give instructions to everyone.

Iroha
The commander would be the position you usually take, right, Miho-san!

Miho
Yes, that's right.

Towa
I've played tank games before, but I never thought I'd actually be inside a real one.

Mito
Inside the tank, there are so many things I've never seen before... This is... kind of fun.

Saori
Right? It's exciting!

Mito
Yes.

Iroha
Excuse me, what is this?

Hana
That's the gunner's seat. When the commander gives instructions, the person sitting here aims at the opponent and fires the shell.

Towa
Hmm~... The gunner, huh. I'm good at FPS games, so I'm confident in my aiming skills!

Hana
Fufu, is that so? As you said, when you see a target, first you align the sights and aim precisely, which is important.

Hana
But sometimes we have to shoot while the tank is moving, so coordination with everyone is also important.

Towa
I see. That sounds interesting.
