Hello everyone! Your probably wondering what's with this sudden sprout of chapters after almost half a year of inactivity. Well the thing is...my writer's block's gone! I feel motivated now to finish this novel and my other novels from now on!

And as a little treat, for those who have read AIYF Productions novels before you may spot a reference to one of their novels! And if it's you AIYF that's reading it(cause I know I have been hinting at it for a while), you'll surely love it!

Enjoy the novel up to now and I immensely appreciate the support!

Chapter 6

Takashi Seras

In the sports fields….

The loud sound of construction work barely lets us talk with each other.

"...and this is how you deal with the transmission if it goes bad on you!"I try to explain to Sakoto but struggle to get her to understand me.

"Repeat that last part again?"She says loudly" I couldn't understand that last part! Is it something else related to the T29's transmission?"

I shake my head.

"No, that's it!"I say" If you have trouble doing maintenance on my tank let me know!"

She nods and walks back to the other members of team Leopon, leaving me to sit on top of Eagle.

"Struggling to focus Takashi?"I barely hear Ami-sensei ask me.

I look down and see her standing below me, carrying a few spray cans.

"Kinda!"I respond once I get off Eagle and stand next to her" How long is the construction of the new hangar again?"

"By monday!"She says as she hands me the spray cans and what appears to be a spray template" I think you should be the one to put the Õarai emblem on your tank!"

I look at her then at Eagle. Now where in the world am I going to put this thing…?

"Oh wait I know where this can go!" I say suddenly, as I jog to the front of my panzer.

A few sprays later and some coating, the Õarai school logo was imprinted on my tank.

"There we go, fits perfectly~" I say loud enough to hear myself

I nearly jump when I hear a voice loud and clear, the construction noises seem to have stopped.

"Now your panzer looks like an Õarai one!" Miho's voice talks close to my ear, scaring the absolute lights out of me.

"Aaaaah!"I jump and end up falling on my rear, prompting a distinct giggle.

"Hehehehehe…."The giggle comes from Miho herself, who I now spot after the accidental spook.

I pout a little bit, kinda annoyed at her for doing that.

"Miho, seriously!"I huff and puff a little

She offers her hand to help me stand up.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you there."She still has the smile on her face, giving her a cutesy look momentarily.

Before I can say anything, one of the girls of the Shensado team pops out of nowhere.

"Are you sure your not confused about that Miho…?"The girl asks as she jabs her side

"Q-Quit that Saori, it's not funny!"She complains, pushing the girl, who's called Saori away from her" My private life is no buisness of yours!"

I can't help but chuckle a little bit, this is definetly going to be an interesting year…

Miho Nishizumi

Later that day, back in Miho's apartment

I cling to my plushie and curl up a little bit next to my futon.

"D-Damn Saori…."My voice cracks a little"...i-i-it's not that I like him...I just want to know him...a-a-as a teammate of course!"

I close my mouth feeling incredibly stupid. Who am I trying to justify right now? Myself?

"Meta….your softness is the only thing keeping me thinking straight."I hold up the plushie against the light. It was an odd plush I had found in the convenience store a couple of months back but I couldn't help myself from buying it, it's cuteness was uncanny."...hehehe….now im talking to a stuffed animal...I think I need some sleep."

I start getting ready for bed and get into my futon after a while, slowly falling asleep with the thoughts of all that had happened today fresh in my mind.
