Yukari's Equal (OC in Girls Und Panzer)

What's with the Uniform?

The match having ended with Rin victorious, he asked his friend to drive the Somua S35 back to his garage, and got out of the tank. He made his way up the slopes to be in vision of all the downed tanks. There, he awaited for the inevitability of the crew members of the beaten tanks to get out of their armour. 


Slowly, seeing as they did not know who was in this Somua S35, the crew members of each tank got out of their tank. In the Anglerfish Team, Miho, having the most easily accessible hatch, turned out first, followed by gasping. This truly intrigued the other crew members, inspiring to rather rashly open their hatches for a look. 

Mako opened her hatch slowly, not seeing the point in being rash like the others. Slowly standing up from her seat, she turned out to see something a bit uncanny. Even she, the king of sloths, widened her eyes to the sight. It's a boy, with brown, fluffy hair, and bright green eyes. However, the most intriguing thing about this boy was..

Once every girl had finally turned out to spot the boy, and started gossiping, Momo called for everyone's undivided attention, and then Anzu made an introduction.

"This guy here, who beat us all pretty much single-handedly, is Rin Mitsue. He will be taking part in our Sensha-dō Club, so please treat him with care." Rin raised a greeting hand and a gentle smile in response.

"Hello! As she already said, my name is Rin Mitsue. I will be taking part in your Sensha-dō Club from now on. Let's have a great time! Any questions?" For all, of course, there was one obvious question;

"What's with the Uniform?!"

"Eh?" Rin was surprised by this question. Yes indeed, Rin was wearing a uniform. With a shiny belt buckle and black strap across his chest, and a dark tie tied to a white buttoned shirt with a dark double-breasted jacket over it, as well as some dark leather gloves. Additionally, he apparently had cuff links on, as evidenced by the apparent 'shirt' ends stretching out further beyond the the jacket. Of course, the question was met with yet another simple answer to everyone's dismay; "Because I like wearing it. Why else would someone wear something?" Rin said, after which everyone's head popped downwards, dumbfounded by the answer. At that moment they came to the understanding that this guy who had just beaten all of them might not be the brightest. "Any other questions?" There was a short silence, in which everyone had to recover from the answer of the previous question, followed by a raising of 3 hands. "You," Rin pointed at one of them. The girl lowered her hand and proceeded with her question. 

"How did you manage to join the team even though you are a boy?" Rin smirked.

"Trade secret. Next, you!" Rin pointed at another of the 3 girls with questions. 

"Why did you join? Did you join just for the girls?" 

Rin laughed.

"No, I joined because I just wanted to take part in Sensha-dō as much as I could. It's been a life-long dream. And last, you!" Rin pointed at the last girl with a hand up. She lowered her hand and eagerly spoke her question.

"Which team will you join?" Rin thought about this for a moment, and as he was going to open his mouth, a girl with fluffy chestnut hair interrupted him from the Panzer 4.

"Umm, can he join us?" Before anyone including Rin could object, Anzu butts in.

"Yeah, Sure! Then it's official! Rin is now a part of the Panzer 4 team!" And that settled it, except it didn't as Rin wanted to object, but didn't get a chance to. "Alright, any other questions? No? Okay then! That'll do it for today! We'll have the Engineering Club take care of the Tanks! Make sure to be there for the next training session tomorrow! Dismissed!" 

On the walk from the practicing areas, Rin walked alongside his new tank crewmembers in complete silence. It went on like this for a bit, just step, step, step, step, step.. All crewmembers stepped in sync..

Step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step...

Rin started to idle.

Step.
Step.
Step.
Step..
Step..
Step..
Step...
Step...
Step...

"So um, who are you anyways?"

"Wah! Step!" Rin was startled by the sudden talking, so much so that he tripped, fell off rightwards, and fell over. However, he was lucky enough for something soft to stop his fall. He grabs the object, and uses it to lift himself back up again. "Phew.. Eh?" As Rin raised his head he came to the realisation that what his head had fallen onto was not just any object. As a matter of fact, he had fallen onto the amazing cherries of the girl with the fluffy hair who had asked for them to join their tank group in the first place. "Umm..." Rin paused. Her face was fully red, and her eyes and mouth wide open.

Cute.

Wait a minute..

"Wah!"

As Rin's head started to finally kick in again, he yelped and jumped back, followed by an immediate bow.

"My gravest apologies!" The fluffy haired girl turned away in embarrassment.

"No worries, it wasn't your fault after all.."

"Okay.. Ah, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, have we?" Rin stands up from his bow and gives a gentle smile to the shy girl slowly peeking around.

"My name is Rin Mitsue."

"M-My name is Yukari Akiyama."

"I look forward to working with you in the future." Rin held out his hand. Slowly, Yukari turned around and, with hesitation, took his hand and shook it lightly." 

"I am Hana Isuzu, and this Mako Reizei." Hana said, pointing at herself then at the energy deprived girl behind her.

"And I am Miho Nishizumi! I look forward to working with you!" Miho said as well.

"Okay! So.." Rin started. "What role do I take in your tank by the by?"

"Well, the only spot that is left; Radio Operator!" Miho said with gentle yet passionate enthusiasm.

"Alrighty." Rin simply accepted, and continued walking. Now, although he may look idle, Rin is doing some thinking. And what he is thinking is; "So, whether or not we actually win this practice match is entirely out of my hands. And everything depends on surviving this practice match. Neat." He didn't feel like thinking more about it. He'd get to it when the time had come. Suddenly, Mako stopped, and turned around. "My way home parts here." She announces blankly. She then turns, and proceeds to walk down a different street.

"Alright then. See you later!" Hana gently calls after with a wave. The rest continue walking.

Step, step, step, step, step, step, step..

"So, um, I guess I take a different turn here, goodbye!" Yukari says.

"Goodbye & goodnight! See you tomorrow!" Miho says, then continues walking.

Step,

step,

step,

step,

step,

step,

step,

step...

Miho stops in front of a building, and turns around.

"So, um, this is my apartment. Guess yours is further away, goodnight." Miho walks up the apartment stairs.

"Mhm." Rin nods. "Goodnight." Rin the proceeds to continue walking down the street. Now that he isn't worried about social convention, he reflects.

"This Miho girl is said to be the sister of some really famous and good tank crewwoman, and her family has a long history of sensha-dō.. She, like her sister, might also have some leadership skills. Hana seems to be the type of person to be very refined, and very calm at all times, a good attribute to have as a tank crewmember. Mako is probably a person with low blood pressure. I can't draw any more conclusions on this Mako, as I didn't get to find much out about her. Last but not least we have Yukari. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about tanks, and her fluffy haircut is very nice," Rin concludes. With that he turns to the right of the road to enter the front door of his house to- Wait a minute... Oh. His house was the other way. Bloody hell.
