Chapter 101 - Tiger and Princess

[Practice Arena #7 - 3:30PM]

"TIME UP! THE MATCH'S TIME LIMIT HAS BEEN REACHED! SINCE BOTH FLAG TANKS ARE STILL OPERATIONAL THIS MATCH ENDS WITH A TIE!" the announcer said

"HHHHHAAAAA?!" everyone reacted

"Time up?! Has it already been one hour?!" Shiori asked

"Nope, it only has been 30 minutes according to my stopwatch." Kaede said

"Then why?"

"This is probably Eiji-kun's doing.." Kaede chuckled

(Back to where the terrific twins were fighting the Nishizumi sisters, their battle was hard fought but in the end both Miho and Maho were white flagged because they couldn't keep up. They were very frustrated and filled with regret)

"Damn it! Damn it!" Maho shouted

"It was a fun fight, raise your head up high Maho-san.." Ingrid said

"We still lost.." Miho said

"In our ways, there is no losing in tankery, only winning and learning. You may have lost today but you are now stronger than who you were yesterday, so learn from this loss so that you'll even be a lot stronger tomorrow." Ilse said

"Thank you very much for the match!" Miho and Maho bowed

"Thank you as well! Oh and we apologize for the harsh words we said, it was the only way to push you both past your limits." Ingrid said

"We know, was it onii-sama that suggested it?" Maho asked

"Of course not! You think your brother would put you through all that?"

"Then who?"

"Erika-sama asked us to do this since she knows that your brother wouldn't."

"I see, it was Eririn.." Miho smiled

"Please don't hold it against her! She was only thinking of you! It's your brother's fault for being overprotective of you!"

"Onii-chan has been through a lot so I understand why he's doing this much to protect us."

"I guess it's also our fault for being too dependent on onii-sama. From now on we'll get much stronger on our own!" Maho smiled

"You'll definitely be stronger! If it makes you feel any better, the last moments of our fight was so intense that we thought we were fighting the White Tiger himself." Ingrid said

"Really?!" Miho asked

"Really really! Your moves were just like his! Only a little more and you'll be able to catch up to him!" Ilse said

(Ilse and Ingrid then saw the sweetest and brightest smile on Miho and Maho's face after hearing those words)

"I'm so happy!" Miho and Maho smiled

(Meanwhile, Erika was interrogating Gero of what just happened)

"Please tell me this was planned?" Erika asked

"Yup! I made the time limit to 30 minutes on purpose when I reserved the practice match.."

"Why though? We would've won if we had more time."

"Winning this practice match will have more demerits than merits for us. If we win then rumors will spread that we beat the almighty Germany Team and the other teams will be more cautious of us after this. Not to mention the rumors about the Terrific Twins losing to us while you and I did not even fire a single shell will also spread which would damage the reputation of their team."
