Girls Und Panzer - The Missing Heir

Chapter 31 - Poem for My Love

[Ooarai Tank Garage]

"Well since the mood is now a lot better, I'd like to introduce myself properly this time..my name is Matsumoto Shin, and this is my son as you already know.." Matsumoto said

"Nice to meet you sir!" everyone replied and bowed

"Likewise! I'm here today not just to watch my son's match but also to help you all with restoring all your tanks to their original state, I'll even tune them up to get better performance than before!"

"Are you some kind of tank mechanic Matsumoto-san?" Nakajima asked

"I was..and I still am..in the past I was the Chief Tank Mechanic of a Senshado Team in the early days.."

"Wow! How come you didn't tell us that your father was this amazing Gero-san?" Nakajima said

"Ahaha sorry it never crossed my mind to tell you all.."

"So I'm guessing you four are the mechanics of this team?" Matsumoto referring to Leopon Team

"Yes we are!" Tsuchiya said

"Well then..I'll be looking forward to working with you in restoring these babies..got room for one more?"

"Of course sir! We're honored to be able to work with someone like you!" Hoshino said

"It's the least I could do in return for all of you taking good care of my son.."

"I'd say he also took care of us during his time here!" Anzu said

"I see..Now hurry along and clear out the garage you've got an awarding ceremony to attend to right?"

"But Matsumoto-san we can't just leave you here alone with all this work?!" Suzuki said

"Don't worry about it! I'll make sure to leave some tanks for you guys to fix when you get back!"

"We can let my father work here Nakajima-san..he knows his way around..let's all just return back as soon as the ceremony is over.."

"Alright then..thank you again Matsumoto-san! We'll come back soon!" Nakajima said

"Sure thing..ohh and before I forget..Congratulations on winning!"

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" all the girls said

"See you later Matsumoto-san!" Ono said

"We'll be back soon!" Ken said

"Enjoy yourselves boys!"

(As everyone left the garage Matsumoto was left there alone and wanted to start with the White Tiger but he got a sudden visitor)

"Long time no see.." a voice called out to him

(As Matsumoto turned around he saw Shiho standing there with a smile on her face)

"It's very good to see you again Shiho-ojou.." Matsumoto bowed

"You look well..how have you been?"

"As you can see I'm perfectly fine..I'd say the same to you ojou.."

"Thank you Chief Matsumoto..for accepting my selfish request 12 years ago..and for taking good care of my son..I am in your debt.." Shiho bowed

"You know..I never thought I'd see the day where you..the so called "Demon" of Senshado..thanking this old man.."

"I am no longer that "Demon" I am just but a mother who is now reunited with her long lost son.."

"Shiho-oujo..not once have I thought of you as a Demon..you were an amazing tanker..but you sucked at taking care of your tank and it was a pain in the ass back in the day.."
