Miho
Is that about it for the tank explanation? How was it?
Yukari
Well, it was a very meaningful time where we could spread the wonder of Sensha-do to students from another school!
Mako
Well, not bad.
Saori
Yeah, yeah, it feels like we're becoming even better friends♪
Kamira
Getting to experience things I didn't know about— this really feels like what a trial school day should be!
Tsubomi
Sensha-do class, huh... Interesting, I shall embark on this new road.
Miho
Tank Road...?
Iroha
Oh! That means Tsubomi-san has decided to take the Sensha-do class, right!
Mito
Mito is also... interested, maybe. I'm curious about what it would be like when it moves...
Kamira
Me too~! I'll take the Sensha-do class!
Miho
So you've decided to choose this class.
Iroha
Yes, we've made up our minds! It's all thanks to you. Thank you very much!
Saori
Iroha-chan and the others are already teammates in the same theater troupe. I'm sure you'll demonstrate great teamwork in tanks too~!
Towa
Ah... That's right, Iroha and the others have classes.
Iroha
Yes! We'll be staying for a while... —Oh! But Towa-chan is here for a field trip, so you won't be coming back, right?
Towa
That's right. Once I submit my report, that's it.
Kamira
So Towa can't participate in a match? Well, we're from different schools so it can't be helped, but still.
Mito
You said earlier that being a gunner seemed fun... Because you're confident in your aiming skills from games.
Towa
Ah, I was just a little interested. But if I can't ride one, there's nothing I can do. I'll just play games when I get home.
Yukari
That's too bad... Aren't there any places in Tokyo where you can actually ride tanks?
Tsubomi
Hmm... I haven't heard of any in our area.
Saori
I see, so Towa-chan can't have a match...
Miho
......
Mako
What's wrong?
Miho
...Well then, shall we have a match?
Kamira
Seriously!?
Towa
...Is that okay!?
Miho
Well, you came all the way to this school. I want you to make good memories.
Iroha
Is that really okay...!? Miho-san.
Miho
Of course!
Miho
Then... let's decide on the format for the match.
Miho
First, we need to form teams. Only us can participate in the match, a total of 10 people.
Miho
So we'll split into two teams of 5 for a one-on-one match. Since it's one-on-one, the victory condition is to disable the other tank.
Saori
How should we divide the teams?
Yukari
How about mixing beginners and experienced people? That way, we can have a more equal fight.
Hana
I think that would be good too.
Miho
Yes, that's right. Um... we briefly talked about this when explaining the tank interior, but crew members have roles.
Miho
The commander gives instructions to teammates. The loader loads ammunition into the main gun to prepare for firing.
Miho
Then there's the gunner who aims at the enemy and fires. The driver operates the tank, moving it and avoiding enemy attacks.
Miho
And finally, the radio operator who coordinates with teammates using the radio... but since this is a one-on-one match, they'll be more of a support role.
Saori
Which role would everyone like to do?
Towa
Yes, yes~! I volunteer to be the gunner!
Hana
Ufufu, how enthusiastic. I'm also a gunner, so I'm happy you're interested.
Kamira
Me! I'd like to be the radio operator! Using a radio sounds cool, and I want to try it~!
Mito
Um... then Mito will be the loader... maybe?
Mito
Giving instructions or aiming at enemies... I'm not very confident in that, but loading ammunition... it feels like I'm cooperating with everyone, which is nice.
Yukari
Cooperation is important. Teamwork is truly the secret to victory!
Tsubomi
I'm interested in driving. After seeing it earlier, I wanted to try it.
Iroha
......
Mito
Iroha-chan... are you thinking? Perhaps the role you want overlaps with someone else...?
Iroha
...Um... If that's the case, I'd like to try being the commander.
Iroha
I'm not sure if I can do it well... I watched Oarai Girls Academy's matches in videos...
Iroha
Well, um...! I thought Miho-san giving instructions to everyone looked really cool...
Miho
...You think so? Thank you...
Miho
Even without experience, you'll be fine. If you're worried about anything, I'll support you, and I'll teach you various things before the match.
Iroha
Th-thank you very much!
Towa
How kind. But since it's a match, there will be a winner and loser, right?
Miho
In that respect, it's a serious match.
Miho
But since this isn't an official match, let's all have a fun game.
Iroha
Yes!
Iroha
(Fun... Somehow, it's similar to Denki too)
