The day after, Guam

An's POV:

After McPearson and I talked to Maho about the matter of bringing Miho with us so that she can recover from her injury, she agreed, only on the condition that Miho be an observer in our side, and that she be given the same treatment as the rest of the boys, to which I agreed, since I was planning on keeping Miho with me in my barracks anyways so that I can watch her (not in a bad way, it's just that I don't want anything bad to happen to her without my supervision). The preparations went, pretty smoothly, as Miho's crew gave her belongings to us so that she can at least feel at home and Miho assigned temporary command of the Ooarai Sensha Do team to a girl named Anzu, who was also the school president of Ooarai. We all packed our gear (and me hauling around Miho's belongings as well) and headed back to our base of operations. I was again sitting next to Miho in Anderson's T-15, while the crew and infantrymen were teasing me.

Anderson: So, I supposed you saved a damsel in distress and got yourself a girlfriend?

Me: Anderson. Just because I saved Miho because of her broken leg doesn't mean she's my girlfriend the second after.

Anderson: But judging from last night, you 2 looked awfully comfortable around each other. Though it wasn't just you sir. We saw McPearson with the Commander of Kuromorimine aka the Commander of Ooarai's sister cuddling as well.

McPearson: Hey! That wasn't my decision! It was Maho's!

I snickered while Miho understood a bit and giggled.

Me: Yeah, yeah, sure. And you looked pretty happy as well with Maho, cuddling each other and all.

McPearson: But Miho cuddled with you as well sir!

Me: Yeah, so?

McPearson: You 2 are in love, don't deny it.

Me: And you and Maho are also in love, so why haven't you 2 confessed to each other?

McPearson: Well I barely even know her!

Me: So me too. We have learning to get used too.

McPearson: Yeah, we sure do.

HSAW Infantryman: At getting cozy with some of the girls! (the rest of the crew and infantrymen inside my vehicle laughed)

Me: Private....just....let's just not talk about what happened last night, alright?

HSAW Infantryman: No sir. We'll still keep teasing you about it. It's juicy stuff.

Me: Fine......you win.

The rest of the ride went smoothly, as we arrived back to our base in 5 minutes.

5 minutes later, Pavilion, USAF Base, Guam

The HSAW infantrymen and the HSAW and TIAW crewmembers stood around the pavilion waiting for me and Commander Briggs to speak.

Briggs: So. You guys did a hell of a good job at that city yesterday. Thanks to some of our TIAW M4s stalling Kuromorimine and Ooarai long enough, the HSAW was able to take them by surprise and disabled all their tanks with those infantrymen over there (waves over to the HSAW infantrymen) and those IFV crews over here (waves to HSAW crewmembers). Really impressive on tactics, Lance Corporal.

Me: Thanks. Though we are not done here. Due to the ceasefire lasting for the next 3 days, the schools will be able to get their tanks back their bases and repair them. Also, in the 3 days, I say that we not only train for the next missions that our schools will have, since we still have some towns to capture, but to also rest up. You men deserve it.
