The large figure looked down at the two again after a brief moment and soon pointed up towards the light above the front. Yukari, still shocked from her failed attack, slowly nodded and flipped the lights on with a shaky hand. The light soon flickered on and revealed the large figure to be Patrick with a slight frown on his face.

Patrick: Sorry for the suddenness, I hope I didn't scare you too much.

Miho: N-No problem. O-Our decision might have been a bit......rushed.

Patrick nodded before taking a step back from the door, giving room to Miho and Yukari who began to slowly catch their nerves. It was then that Saori soon rushed up who was excited to try and get a second crack at talking to a boy and one that would talk back.

Saori: May I ask who are you?

Patrick: My name is Patrick Byrne, I'm the oldest child of the family.

Saori: Ok, well, I'm Saori. So why did you come here Patrick?

Patrick soon dug into his pocket and brought out a phone that was nearly enveloped in his large hand. He soon extended his hand towards the girls who took the phone with confusion until they realized it was Yuuki's phone that she lost earlier.

Patrick: A few days ago we noticed that a couple of your girls were chased off by Luka. Apparently he thought they were there to cause trouble, however we soon found the dog they were chasing and took him in. In the process we found this phone on the ground, probably from the girls who were chasing the dog. Luka is sorry for yelling and scaring the girls earlier and I have come to return the phone to you so that you may return it to its rightful owner.

Saori: Thank you for your kind action, but why isn't Luka here to give the phone?

Patrick: I don't think your girls will take his presence kindly.

Miho: That is true.....

Patrick smiled and soon bowed his head before turning to leave however Miho soon stopped him with a hand on his arm. Patrick turned around confused as the Ooarai girls, who have quieted down after hearing Patrick's reason for coming here, began to mummer with confusion as well.

Miho: Uhm, thank you.

Patrick smiled and nodded before waving good night to the Anglerfish crew and going off to his sleeping quarters. Miho soon returned the phone to Yuuki and soon everyone began to trickle back to their rooms. Miho and Yukari soon came back inside their room and the Anglerfish crew soon breathed a sigh of releif as they soon got out their dinnerware.

Miho: I'm glad it was just a misunderstanding.

Hana: Yeah.

Mako: Lets just hope no more noise comes up for the night. I'm tired.

Saori: Mako, your always tired.

Mako gave a small mumble as the girls soon gave a small laugh and soon continue on their nightly routine as the sun finally set signaling the end of the day. 

The next day.

Yukari was up early. Well she always wakes up early, its a time where she can do her normal exercise that allow her to get out of a pinch when spying on other schools. She was about to complete another lap around the camp when she soon saw what seem to be a pair of legs over the roof of one of the shared buildings. She soon stopped near the building which she soon realized was the storage that both sides shared however due to both the girls and boys staying in their respective sides no one used it. She slowly walked around the building and soon saw what seemed to be a ladder leaning on the side of the building.

Yukari (whisper): Strange.....I don't remember the building having this before.

She soon heard what seems to be paper being turned and she soon crept to the latter and soon slowly climbed up before taking a peek over the roof's edge. She has often heard Saori say that boys their age like to read certain types of books however she had no idea what the red haired radio operator even meant. Her eyes soon found who the legs belonged to and to her surprise she recognized the person who was laying on his back and reading.

Yukari: Simo?

Yukari immediately regretted speaking out loud as the gunner soon shot up from his book. He soon stood up and whipped around to look over at the Ooarai loader who gave him a small wave before her eyes soon turned from him to his book. Her eyes widened with shock and before she could stop herself she soon lunged up towards the gunner with stars in her eyes.

Yukari: Is that the The World Encyclopedia of Tanks and Armored Fighting Vehicles by George Forty and Jack Livesey?! I've been looking for that book for so long!

Simo gave her a look of shock as he slowly looked down at the book, then back at Yukari who was still in her panzer high as she scoped into the book with eyes still starry. Simo cocked his head a bit before standing up a bit straighter which soon snapped Yukari out of her trance and into a quick bow.

Yukari: Sorry, sorry, sorry, I get really excited whenever I see something that has to do with tanks.  Especially something as awesome as that book.

Simo raised an eyebrow and raised the book as if trying to believe that the thing in his hand caused her such joy. Yukari nodded and Simo gave her a slight stare before giving a silent smile before sitting back down to read. Yukari looked at the roof top with a bit of embarrassment from her previous moment however her expression soon turned to shock when she heard the sound of hand on concrete and she looked towards Simo who was patting the ground next to him, book reopened to the first page.

Yukari: You.....want me to sit there? Is that ok?

Simo shrugged and held up the large book before soon pointing towards Yukari and setting the book down on his legs while making the motion of flipping pages with his hands.

Yukari: Oh, are you sure? I mean, I did interrupt your reading earlier.

Simo again shrugged and Yukari slowly sat next to the Finn who shifted the book so that it was in-between the two. Soon the two were reading again with Yukari in a panzer high like no other as she fawned over every detail in the book. Simo was also reading, however was smiling at the fluffy haired gunner's comments and fast facts only to quickly move on to another tank and do the same. He shook his head to himself as he soon looked back down to read, and the two would continue to read until the loud clang of a bell soon alarmed both of them.

Yukari: What was that?

Simo looked up as well and soon got up and ran to the ladder, signaling Yukari to follow him.

Yukari: Follow you? But what does that bell mean?

Simo quickly stopped before he went down the ladder and made a hand motion that made the Ooarai gunner turn pale. They got visitors, lots of them. And most importantly they were armed.
