34My friend recommended this anime, and I loved it, even though it was short. It won't interrupt my other story, but it will slow it down a bit, I haven't given up on it though. I do not own Girls und Panzer, all I know is it belongs to some Japanese company.
It was a bright, sunny day for Oarai. The school ship was no longer at risk of being shut down, but winning the Tankery championship could only keep it like that for so long. That was why Anzu, the student council president, was working hard to find a way to obtain extra funds, her desk covered with papers.
"There has to be something, anything, here." She sighed. "I never had to deal with this at my old school." There was a knock at the door. "Yeah?"
Opening the door entered her vice president Yuzu. "You still worried about the budget?" She asked. Anzu nodded. "It's been over a month now, we saved the school. Why is it bothering you?"
"I can't say." The four-foot tall female answered. This made Yuzu confused.
(Meanwhile)
Out in the courtyard Momo Kawashima, PR of the student council was headed for the garage, where the automotive club was supposedly finished with their latest "project". She heard propellers, and turned around to see a helicopter big enough to hold two panzers and a Maus. She approached the flying machine as it turned off. "You aren't allowed to land here!" she exclaimed to the pilot, who was exiting. Her face turned from annoyed to shock to see a boy, not much older than her, was the one piloting. He had a black trench coat on over a plain t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, shades, and a single glove covered his left hand. "Who are you?" she asked the stranger.
"I need to see Anzu Kadotani. Can you lead me to her?" He asked.
"Who are you?" she repeated.
"Forgive me for not introducing myself. I cannot tell you my name yet, but any who know me call me Dragon." Dragon explained.
"Why can't you tell me your real name, 'Dragon'?" she questioned defensively, not wanting to let an unknown male see the president.
"You don't need to know right now." He said, flashing a badge.
"Official Tankery Investigative Officer." She read. "You can follow me." She grumbled.
(Back in the student council room)
Twenty minutes had gone by, and Anzu had not made any progress. She was almost glad when Momo told her she had a visitor. She didn't know anyone by the name of Dragon, but she was at least curious.
"He's an official from the International Tankery Association." Momo stated.
"Thanks Momo." Anzu said as the man walked into the room.
"Please allow us to talk alone, if you would be so kind, Momo." Dragon said. She was about to object when Anzu gave her a nod. She quickly left the room.
"So why are you here?" Anzu asked.
"You don't remember me?" he asked.
"Should I?"
"It's only been three and a half years."
"Oni? Is that you?"
"Good to see you cousin, and congratulations on the win at nationals."
"Thanks, but you know we aren't supposed to see each other. So why are you here?"
He sighed. "Because you won at nationals."
"Huh." She said, wondering why that warranted a visit.
"As Momo said, I am a detective, you could say, for the International Tankery Association, and your school is now a target." He explained, seeing her confusion. "There were only six people besides the Association who had information about this."
"You, me, Nonna, Erika, Kay, and Aya." She said quietly.
"That's right, and that's why we were separated, for our protection. But now, they know Aya is here. The others were safe; being in high ranking schools they were protected. Oarai is a small school, and by winning nationals, you have exposed you and Aya."
"Do we have to switch schools again?" Anzu asked, tears forming in her eyes. She really liked Oarai.
"No, the past year, I have investigated the people behind that incident. And since Oarai is now presumably a target, I been requested to join this school and the Tankery team. It's to hopefully end what's been going on, as well as to protect Aya and you."
"What!?" she practically yelled. Oarai was an all-female school and Tankery was girls only too. He could be considered just as knowledgeable when it came to tanks. Their past school had allowed him to work on and test the tanks.
"I have the papers. The Association has allowed me to participate in Tankery. Getting into this school was more difficult. I eventually had to bribe them."
"How much?" She asked out of curiosity.
"1 million yen." He said. Anzu nearly choked on her breath.
"What has been going on these past three years?" she exclaimed.
"You know I was a genius, who only stayed in high school to watch over Aya."
"I remember."
"Well, once we were separated, I went to an Australian school for a year, getting all my credits except for six. Then I traveled around, building machines, designing software, and selling them. I built up a small fortune. The million I offered was to for the school, they couldn't reject if I was offering that much. I'm only going to take Tankery, since the only credits I need are electives."
The two sat in silence for a few minutes. "Well… I guess, welcome to Oarai."
Things about this chapter.
The Maus is a gigantic tank (I would guess about one and a half medium tanks)
Panzer means tank
That's pretty much it.
