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 think that when someone is good at what they do, it's even more frustrating when they act like that. Because you know that they know better.

At least with the girls that annoy me, I know that it's because they haven't been at it for very long.

[lightning_strike]

I think so... I also kind of think that it's because they're under a lot of pressure, they act crazy.

Just kids hmm?

[fightbymoonlight]

That could be the case. Everyone copes with stress differently.

Yes. Well, they all start out like that and they don't improve until later. But I'm afraid they won't last long enough to improve.

[lightning_strike]

Yes. That's... probably the case.

Maybe give them advice?

[fightbymoonlight]

If you're really worried, you could talk to them about it. That could help you take care of some of your worries, at least.

That... would not be very helpful, I'm afraid.

[lightning_strike]

Well I'll try.

Really? I guess... [These two are way too alike for their own good.]

[fightbymoonlight]

Even if nothing comes out of it, you'll understand one another better.

Whatever advice I could give would come from a method that has proven not to work. And even if that wasn't the case, they need to figure out how to get stronger on their own, or later on they won't know how to adapt to even stronger enemies.

[lightning_strike]

True enough.

Oh I see. That does make a lot of sense in retrospect.
