The Tigers of Chi-Ha-Tan ReRise Volume 3: The Tigresses Trial

Chi-Ha-Tan Vs Oaria Alliance Part 2

The fans in attendance were finally allowed to feel excitement run through them as the match of Chi-Ha-Tan Academy versus Oarai Girls Academy had finally kicked off, with part of the Ooarai scout force being ambushed in a small village by a large force of Chi-Ha-Tan tanks, effectively pinning them in. All around the bleachers, people began to talk animatedly about the tide of battle going Chi-Ha-Tan's way early on, with some now understanding why Chi-Ha-Tans had used such an unusual sort of tactic against Oarai at the start of the match.

If anything it was something Viggen High School was known for with not engaging their foes for long periods of time and allowing them to get complacent, giving them the perfect chance to strike. Though said school found out it wasn't effective all the time and were handled with ease by Viking Fisheries High School in the first round of the tournament who they try this tactic on. Yet here in this match, this tactic was proving its effectiveness, while also playing to Chi-Ha-Tan's new identity of ambushes, annoying fire, and sniping. At the same time, people were beginning to wonder how deadly commander Miho Nishizumi could become, if she was willing to play mind games with her opponents to unsettle them, while also seeming to show her flexibility to use other team tactics to only enhance her own team, instead of sticking to one doctrine to win.

The animated talk in the stands began to shift with the casual viewers to Chi-Ha-Tan's favor. Some predicted that Commander Miho was only getting started and was going to make short work of Oarai, while also dealing the American team a thrashing as well, all with smaller and under gun tanks. While some were proud to see their nations own tanks from the war showing off that they were not rubbish as most experts said they were.

Yet one man sitting in the bleachers with a faint black mustache, short black hair with glasses on was a bit annoyed by all the talk around him about his daughter's team possibly being beaten.

That man was Yukari Akiyama's father, Jungorou Akiyama, who with his arms crossed, spoke out in an aggravated voice, "their talking like everything is already decided, and don't they know how awesome of a commander my daughter is."

Jungorou's wife, Yoshiko Akiyama who like her daughter had curly brown hair, chuckle at her husband, then spoke, "calm down honey, you're going to blow a vein in that head of yours if you keep scowling like that."

"I'm trying dear, but that's my little bear out there and even after all the greatness she's shown in the qualifier and first round, people still doubt her," Jungorou said with an annoyed look.

"I know, I know, yet we're in the same boat. We use to doubt our daughter's fanatical love for tanks, thinking it was not a healthy thing for such a young lady," Yoshiko said with a pleasant smile.

"Exactly, I was her biggest critic, yet because of tanks she has more friends than she can count and I never have to see her put on a smile for me when I ask her if she is alright. She's happy and I want her to stay this happy," Jungorou anxiously said as he watch the screen displaying the Chi-Ha-Tan ambush still going on for the crowd.

Yoshiko just beam with pride at her husband who loved his daughter unconditionally, then took his hand in hers as she spoke. "Daddy just can't help but want his little bear's happiness. You were her biggest critic then, but now you're her biggest fan since she join the tankery team."

The barbershop owner, now crack a smile at his beloved wife who was always his encouraging voice he needed to hear whenever he was down or aggravated, as he spoke now. "It helps to have the world's greatest mama bear at my side."

"Oh you, always a sweet talker even at our age," Yoshiko said with a happy voice, then lean into her husband's side watching the large display, with her belief in her daughter never wavering not even for a moment.
