A “seru-fii”…?1

That’s right. Anzu asked us to… No, to be more precise, it was a request from the work staff of a television program we’re appearing on soon.

As they’re doing a special feature on AKATSUKI, it seems they’d like photos other than professional ones.

新生 AKATSUKI
Ibuki's entrance into AKATSUKI has insensitive parallels to the history between Japan and the Ryukyu Islands, specifically the annexation of Ryukyu into Okinawa from 1872-1879 onward. Click for more information

AKATSUKI is a unit embodied by 和 (wa, lit. harmony, but also a self-designator for Japan). The word 和風 (wafu, Japanese style) comes from 和. During the Meiji Restoration, 和 was central to Japan’s efforts to unify and assimilate new territories under a shared cultural identity. On top of his membership, Ibuki's active pursuit of 本当の和風 (true Japanese-style) being the reason he pursues AKATSUKI is inappropriate, bearing this in mind.

Additionally, the Ryukyu Disposition was driven by military interests, particularly securing Japan's southern borders from other nations. In Okinawan schools, national pride was linked to serving Japan’s military goals. This had devastating consequences, particularly during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. This in mind, having Ibuki join the self-proclaimed "war unit" is also inappropriate.

... Take that!

Oh, is that you Transfer Student-dono? My apologies. I was thrown off so suddenly, I swung at you with my sword.

Let me help you up. ... No, wait. Touching a woman so frivilously goes against the tenants of my family home.

Yo...! Hah...!

Oh, it’s you, Transfer Student-dono. What brings you here at an hour like this?

Me? I was preparing dinner. Well, maybe I should say it’s not for me.

One of the "mem-baa"s1 of my unit mentioned he would be late because of work.

Excuse me, Transfer Student-dono, I have a favor to ask of you.

Forgive me for being blunt, but I have a new technique I need to test on...--- Er, I mean, would you accompany me for my "les-son"?1
