Strike Witches: Fallen Humanity

Memory

It was the afternoon of the same day, all the witches where showering away that orange paint who covered them head to toes, all while Andrea was somewhere in the hangar preparing for the next round.

Some were talking, others were more concerned with their hair, some (you know who) were playing pranks on the shy ones (Sanya obviously excluded because it was Eila) and finally others were comparing the size of their breasts. Many were classified by the "experts" as consolation prizes.

Despite the silly nature of the situation, important and dutiful questions arose.

"Dammit, we got crushed by you all!" Lyudmila said, frustrated.

"Eh eh, we're special forces for a reason!" Eila noted.

"Judging by how you act out of the battlefield I'd say you're some really special special forces" Aira said with a grin on her face.
In turn Eila responded with a Sumoan Bras d'honneur.

"Eila, stay calm please" Sanya, who was next to her, said with that lightheartedness of hers.

"Uuuh, i see someone's a bit concerned about her partner" Lyudmila joked, siding with Aira.

At this point Sanya just stick her tongue out in sign of disrespect and together with Eila minded their own business.

Meanwhile, as Silvie and Perrine were just trying to relax, Charlotte was talking with Ursula about some changes to be applied to her P-51 striker; this before they got interrupted.

"You two really seem to hang out well when talking about strikers, are you?" Erica said.

"That's because we're from two of the three best nations, the third one being Fuso, when handling strikers" Ursula stated. "Though may I say, firepower should be prioritised over speed"

"Nah, how can you shoot if the Neuroi's faster than ya? Speed beats everything, have you forgotten about that one time I killed one reaching Mach 1?" Charlotte said.

"You can't just charge the enemy and penetrate it with your own body, it's not tactical at all!" Gertrud explained.

"But Trude, that's exactly what I do" Erica made her notice.

"I know, but that's because you have a proper ability that suits that type of attack. I'll say it forever, what a soldier needs is more firepower"

"I disagree" Erica said, but none cared.

"Well, technically she's right" Ursula defended her "Without an agile striker, both speed and armament become useless. I think we should focus on protecting ourselves more than single handedly assaulting whatever it's in our range of view"

So a heated debate started between the four of them.

Moreover, while Francesca, Joanna, Maria and Mana were fighting over who had the biggest breasts, some more important things were going on just next to them.

"So, your father is the one who invented the striker unit" Virginia asked curiously.

"Yes, he's one of the scientists who proposed and built them" She lightedly answered.

"I see... I'm very sorry to know just now he died, I didn't know"

"Please excuse her, she's very naive about... Everything" Inori added.

"It's fine, with time it all passed away" She answered again. "And you? They say you're a special witch"

"Yes, apparently I'm a natural born night witch, one night many years ago I had contact with Moffy and we made a contract"

"He's a swan, right?" Lynette asked.
"Yes, but that only when he unleashes all himagical power, usually she's just a... How should I describe her?"

"I'd say a very cute and fluffy Bird" Inori suggested
