- [Misogi - Maki: Start]: Maki's Habit
- Maki: Give me a status report!
- Toji A: Unit #1 collapsed after being hit with an enemy ambush!
- Maki: An ambush...? This platoon maneuvers training only just started though!?
- Toji B: Still, we've confirmed it! We tried sending backup immediately, but by the time they got there, they were already unable to fight!
- Maki: Kgh...
- Maki: (Did Suzuka predict the orders I'd give? Then that'd mean...)
- Maki: It's dangerous staying here too... We're moving!
- Toji: Shidou-san! It's an ambush!
- Maki: Huh!? Another ambush...? But then they'd have to know we'd come this way!?
- Toji B: We'll open a path for you! ...Don't let them get Shidou-san!
- Toji A: Leave her to me! Shidou-san, over this way!
- Maki: I didn't think this would end up being so one-sided.
- Toji A: I'm sorry, Shidou-san; we just weren't strong enough for them...
- Maki: ...No, none of you did anything wrong. They were just one step ahead of us.
- Maki: (I never thought she'd have such a good read on me...)
- Toji A: There's only me and a few others left... What should we do?
- Maki: ......
- Maki: (Regrouping from this would be almost impossible... All that's left is...)
- Maki: I'll go out there. We're just too outnumbered right now... I'm the only one who could this around.
- Toji A: Alright... Good luck out there, Shidou-san.
- Maki: Thanks!
- ???: Shidou Maki started moving independently from the rest.
- ???: Just as expected. Mm, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist.
- ???: Is everyone ready and waiting?
- ???: Yes.
- Suzuka: ...This is checkmate, Maki-san.
- Suzuka: Now then, let's begin the review meeting for our platoon skirmish.
- Maki: ...I got outmatched so badly I can't even tell what I'm supposed to review.
- Maki: Could you tell everything I was thinking, Suzuka?
- Suzuka: From your past tendencies, I could tell you would bring your platoon at us from the front.
- Suzuka: Given our different approaches to leadership, if our platoons were to face each other so directly, I would be at a disadvantage.
- Maki: So that's why you went with an ambush.
- Suzuka: Yes; if I wanted to win, our best plan of action was to come at you from where you were most exposed.
- Maki: You had me completely caught up in it. Especially with how well you pulled off those last waves of attacks.
- Suzuka: That was the cornerstone to our strategy. I wouldn't be exaggerating to say everything else was simply to bring you to that point.
- Maki: ...So you knew I'd do all that?
- Suzuka: That's right. When your unit finds itself in danger, you always attempt to recover the situation on your own, don't you?
- Maki: ...Do I? Wait, now that I think about it, maybe you're right...
- Suzuka: ...We'll have to put this review meeting on hold here.
- Maki: Right... Let's move out, Suzuka!
- [Misogi - Maki: End]: Somebody I Can't Beat
- Suzuka: It seems we'll already be able to put today's training to good use.
- Maki: Today's training...? You think we'll have to watch out for any aradama ambushes?
- Suzuka: Well, I wouldn't say it's completely out of the question, would you?
- Suzuka: ...We're just about to make contact.
- Maki: Why are there so many!?
- Suzuka: This could take quite some time...
- Toji A: HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
- Toji A: Damnit! After every one we kill, another one comes out!
- Toji B: How long is this going to go on for...?
- Maki: (...They're already showing signs of fatigue. At this point, I should...)
- Suzuka: That's right. When your unit finds itself in danger, you always attempt to recover the situation on your own, don't you?
- Maki: (...If I did that, there'd be no point to the training... But, still...)
- Suzuka: ...It's getting to be rather difficult, isn't it.
- Maki: ...Yeah. Everybody's close to their limit.
- Suzuka: What should we do about them...
- Maki: (If we keep fighting like this... we might get overwhelmed by their numbers.)
- Maki: (And then, what's going to happen to these girls?)
- Maki: (If that's going to put them in danger... I just have to do whatever I can!)
- Maki: Suzuka!
- Suzuka: Yes?
- Maki: I'm leaving my unit with you! You'll take good care of them, right?
- Suzuka: Fufu, how very like you, Maki-san.
- Maki: Yeah, it doesn't seem like I can do much else. So... I'm heading off.
- Maki: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!
- Aradama: GEEEEEEEEE!!
- Suzuka: We somehow managed though all that.
- Maki: ...Sorry, Suzuka.
- Suzuka: What are you apologizing for?
- Suzuka: Many girls were injured, but none of it was serious. And they all owe it to you.
- Maki: Still, I ended up going off on my own in the end. That made the whole training meaningless.
- Suzuka: It's true that you should reflect on that, from the perspective of preparing the next generation.
- Suzuka: But, to use yourself as a shield to protect those by your side... I think that's one of your best qualities, Maki-san.
- Maki: You... do?
- Suzuka: I do. So, why not learn to operate your unit in your own way?
- Maki: Hmph! Hmph! Hmhh! Hmph! Huph--!!!
- Maki: (Operate in my own way... Since I have the day off and I'm done training, I might as well go through some simulations.)
- Suzuka: You're out here training again? Don't you think you ought to take the time to rest every so often?
- Maki: Hey, you're the one who said I should keep doing things my own way.
- Maki: I'm not busy today, so I'm going to really think over how to lead around a unit.
- Suzuka: Honestly... This is exactly what's no good about you, Maki-san.
- Maki: Weren't you telling me the exact opposite before!?
- Suzuka: That was then, this is now.
- Suzuka: So go on, shower yourself off. After you've finished, you can come along with me to an art gallery.
- Maki: ...I really can't hold a candle to you, can I.

- [Misogi - Suzuka: Start]: Someone I Can't Take My Mind Off Of
- Yukari: Shidou, Konohana, I want the both of you to leave to conduct an inspection tomorrow.
- Suzuka: Will you not be traveling with us, Yukari-sama?
- Yukari: That's right; there's other business I'll have to attend to. I'd like for you two to handle this.
- Yukari: The details will be sent to you later, but essentially...
- Yukari: The idea is to have two active duty toji give their perspective on plans made with the railway association to resolve issues dispatching toji to sites of aradama outbreaks.
- Maki: Yes ma'am!
- Suzuka: Understood.
- Yukari: Konohana, after accompanying me to several inspections, you should have an idea of what to do. Give Shidou your support.
- Suzuka: Certainly.
- Maki: I'll be counting on you.
- Suzuka: (Yukari-sama said to support Maki-san, but, even without me, she likely would have been fine on her own.)
- Maki: ......
- Suzuka: (Shidou Maki... Even before facing each other in the finals of the tournament, I was already aware of her. Being the owner of that okatana, Usumidori.)
- Suzuka: (Usumidori has a deep connection to my Kurama-ryu... I had expected to inherit it myself one day. But, it never happened.)
- Suzuka: (Ever since then, I think... I might have been conscious of her.)
- Suzuka: (And-- then came the tournament where I'd been determined to prove my superiority over her. Only to be defeated in the end... What's worse, it happened two years in a row.)
- Maki: ...zuka?
- Suzuka: (Even now, after following her into the elite guard, I can't help but never want to be outdone by her.)
- Maki: Suzuka. Um... It's awkward, with you staring at me not saying anything... If something's bothering you, could you tell me?
- Suzuka: ...!? Ahem... I'm very sorry about that. I was just a bit lost in thought.
- Maki: Oh.
- Suzuka: ......
- Maki: You really helped me out today. I'm glad you came along.
- Suzuka: ...Maki-san?
- Maki: Suppressing aradama is one thing, but I still can't get used to this inspection stuff.
- Maki: Even when they go over it for me, I can't come up with a lot more than, "Ahh, so that's how it is."
- Maki: Compared to me, you're incredible.
- Suzuka: Wh-Where is all this coming from?
- Maki: Weren't you asking all the right questions?
- Maki: If it had been just me, I wouldn't have been able to come back with a report that'd make Yukari-sama happy.
- Suzuka: ...That's the entire reason I was here. There's no reason for you to be concerned about it.
- Suzuka: More importantly, what are you thinking, flaunting your weakness in front of me like that?
- Maki: ...What do you mean?
- Suzuka: I'm shocked is all. You used to be so stubborn, and yet you seem to have grown awfully open minded.
- Maki: You're good with situations like those, right? Since you know how to look at things from different angles.
- Maki: All I was thinking all day was, I'm really glad someone as reliable as you is with me.
- Suzuka: Wha...!
- Maki: I still keep it in mind; how you told me it'd be better if we took on different roles that show the best of our abilities.
- Suzuka: ...If that's all this is about, then that's fine.
- Suzuka: (Maki-san has been like this ever since we agreed to start calling each other by our first names...)
- Suzuka: (...It makes me seem strange for being the only one so wary around her...!)
- Suzuka: (Really... Maki-san, you're just so...)
- [Misogi - Suzuka: End]: Crossing Okatana as a Refresher
- Suzuka: Maki-san. You've left a few errors in this paperwork, you know?
- Maki: I did? Sorry; could I fix it up later? I'm running short on time.
- Suzuka: It's not an issue. I've already corrected them for you.
- Maki: Thanks for that. Anyway, I'd better get going.
- Yume: Hey, hey, Suzuka-onee-san. Aren't you kinda getting friendlier with Maki-onee-san now? You are, right?
- Suzuka: Nothing's changed between us in the slightest.
- Yume: Ehh; you're definitely friendlier now!
- Suzuka: (She's not wrong... It feels as if there's less distance between Maki-san and myself...)
- Suzuka: (But, even so... I still want to make up for the losses I suffered to her...)
- Suzuka: Sigh...
- Suzuka: (How can I relieve these pent up feelings... It seems I'll have to do something to refresh myself.)
- Maki: This is the first time we've fought seriously since the tournament, isn't it?
- Suzuka: Thank you very much for accepting my sudden proposal.
- Maki: It's fine by me.
- Suzuka: ...This time, I'll be victorious.
- Maki: I'm not planning on losing either.
- Suzuka: Good. There wouldn't be much point if you were.
- Maki: Then, let's get started. Come at me whenever.
- Suzuka: I'll take you up on that then!
- Suzuka: EII--!
- Maki: Ggh... You're especially aggressive today.
- Suzuka: I can't have you thinking... I'll only stay the same old Konohana Suzuka--!!
- Maki: Having you come at me head on's kind of exciting.
- Suzuka: Don't you think... you're talking a little too much?
- Maki: You're right; let's leave it at that. Here I come.
- Maki: --YAAAAAAHH!
- Suzuka: (She really is... so strong! Her strikes so straightforward... so heavy!)
- Suzuka: (Even still, I won't lose!)
- Suzuka: HAAAAAH!
- Maki: [pant... pant... pant...]
- Suzuka: I'm beaten... It's your win.
- Maki: That was a great match. You really are amazing. You had me scrambling to keep up; I've never seen you fight like that before.
- Maki: Let's keep getting stronger like that together, to support Yukari-sama.
- Suzuka: (That attitude of hers-- As straightforward as her swordsmanship. Maybe that's what Usumidori recognized in her.)
- Suzuka: (This marks my third consecutive defeat. And yet...)
- Suzuka: Of course. But, someday, I will overtake you. ...I hope you won't grow complacent, unless you'd like me to take your precious okatana off your hands.
- Maki: I'm glad for the competition. I won't be losing either; I'll show you how strong I can get.
- Suzuka: Take good care of Usumidori for me.
- Maki: Course I will. That's my trusty partner you're talking about.
