Canon Bump - The Day After Sortie

[lightning_strike]

[Normally one wouldn't notice this, but the community seemed to decide to show it off. A young woman in a pantsless military uniform was addressing a small council of people, discussing the new recruit and treating Yoshika Miyafuji as a Sarge in the military.

For anyone who would know their history, the two men in the room was Winston Churchill and Hugh Dowding of the World War II Allied Airforce. But the girl, Minna, looked distinctly German in appearance.

It seemed they were discussing why the Neuroi were coming irregularly, but Minna promises that they will be able to defend against their aggression.

The scene changes abruptly to the base where Perrine is getting food when she makes a face.]

Miyafuji, what is this?

[She holds up a bowl of natto and she holds it at arms length.] This is intolerable! This food is rotten, you can't serve it to us!

Yoshika: Eeh? But natto is good for you. And Sakamoto-san liked it.

[Perrine sputters.] Saka...! You can't call her that! It's Major to you, MAJOR!

Yoshika: But Sakamoto-san told me to call her that!

That's not the POINT! Even I don't call her Sa-... saka... saa... [She goes bright red trying to force it out] That's not the point! Just don't call her that anymore!

I feel your pain completely.

[lightning_strike]

You've been fed these, ugh, rotten beans before as well?

[unknownrival]

Natto's common in Japan. I was more referring to the name thing.

[lightning_strike]

[!!!] I-It's really just annoying. That... that raccoon girl can call the Major that...

[unknownrival]

People can be so casual so soon... what happened to respect for their leadership?

[lightning_strike]

It's really not proper! She should be referring to her by rank, not Sak... Saka... [her face turns red] You know what I mean!

[unknownrival]

I understand. Yet there's no convincing some people to be proper.

[lightning_strike]

Honestly, she's so crude. She slurps her tea, is loud and unruly...

[unknownrival]

I'm sorry you're having difficulties with her.

[fightbymoonlight]

What's wrong with natto?

[lightning_strike]

It's horrid! It's rotted throughout! I can't believe that someone would eat this willingly!

[fightbymoonlight]

I'll admit that it's something of an acquired taste, but there's nothing wrong with it. It's pretty healthy, actually.

[lightning_strike]

But the stench! How can anyone stand it?

[fightbymoonlight]

I don't think it's that bad. You're just not used to it.

[lightning_strike]

Ugh I just.... [C'mon Perrine stop being stubborn. As such, she's grasping for straws why she doesn't like it.]

[fightbymoonlight]

There's not anything wrong with not liking it, of course. It's very much a Japanese dish, so it's probably very different from what you usually eat.

[lightning_strike]

I'm used to Fuso food, but this is something I've never encountered before to be perfectly honest.

Are you all right? You looked like you were about to explode.

[lightning_strike]

I'll live, but I cannot believe Miyafuji would serve us that stuff. And call the Major by her last name!

Re: text

[oceanicbutterfly]

What's wrong with her last name?

Re: text

[lightning_strike]

It's improper! She's the Major, she's not supposed to be called Sakamoto-san! Especially not so casually by a new recruit!

Re: text

[oceanicbutterfly]

If she's a new recruit, then isn't she the person most likely to address her improperly? I mean, obviously she needs to be corrected, but you have to keep things in perspective.

Re: text

[lightning_strike]

I keep correcting her, but she insists that the Major told her to call her "Sakamoto-san". It's really quite frustrating.

Re: text

[oceanicbutterfly]

Well, then, isn't it entirely possible that that's what happened?

Re: text

[lightning_strike]

Ugh... you have a point. That's probably what happened and I still can't wrap my head around it. How did that Miyafuji get so close to her suddenly? Just because they're from the same nation...
