"You'll love it Setsuna, trust me. For Anna, I don't know where you are up to on your uh, list of foods, so I just brought some regional specialties instead. All from Japan, in this case."
This is just unacceptable. I know that we've shifted away from Anna's point of view here, but can we add a vote like
[X] Give all our friends network access to The List so that they can effectively track what foods we have eaten and plan future meals which include us accordingly.
to our actions here? It's likely to be forgotten after next update and is absolutely critical to Anna's future dietary well-being.
 
[x] Well, it's not a plan, exactly; everything you've seen from Anna says that she'll probably take whatever plans you come up with and casually snap them over her knee. There are things you can keep in mind though.
-[x] No missiles, she'll just shoot them down.
-[x] Going by what you've seen of her so far; she not only doesn't have any blind spots, she can see through solid objects as well. Any attempts at setting up an ambush are futile.
-[x] You've seen that clip of her playing tag. She's fast, but a close-combat frame like yours can probably outpace her, and Yukari looks like she has the means to do the same.
[x] In short: Work together, box her in, and either you or Yukari will try to score a hit. You'll have to wing it for the most part.
-[x] And take this seriously. Anna's not going to be happy if she thinks you're not giving it everything you have.
 
Anna is weak to wasabi. We can use that. She is also weak towards assorted breads.
[jk] Attack Anna with bread covered in wasabi and strapped onto your missiles.
-[jk] Use Baguette for its aerodynamic shape

--[x] She may also blast the terrain to kick up dust. She won't be bothered by it, but the three of you would be going blind.

It's a clear consensus , I think.

Let's do it.

If they're interfering with The List, then measures must be taken.
I'd also like a shot at going back to Athletics, if only so Anna can learn how to run again. Or move quickly Without her Valk, which may very well come in handy at some point.

Running! Feh. That's so... suboptimal.

Running is for people without Impeller field.

I'm not sure he's actually smart enough to think of this on his own, but I'm sure it'll work out fine.
 
Huh, Yukari noted that Anna might be able to 'outpace, outgun and outmaneuver' any of them. The last two is a given, but the first...

Either she's overestimating Anna's spec or there's a raw spec difference between Elite Valks and everyone else beyond just skill.
 
Moron with extra moron is what we voted for. I'm really not worried, getting shown up by a support character early on is good for a liad back protagonist.

This.

He'll need something to get him to take things at least a little bit seriously.

By the way @Avalanche, how much does Yukari know about Anna? Could/would she develop a strategy to abuse her traumas?
 
Koujirou's teeth finally slide off Setsuna's hair and his head droops. Setsuna turns her face, beginning a sentence, probably to scold the still sleeping boy again, and their faces meet.

Oh. A kiss.

It was sort of cute-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!"

Wow. Such strength.
Soon Anna will start shipping them!
A sudden impulse to sing strikes you out of nowhere, and you barely manage to resist it. You're quite sure Setsuna wouldn't appreciate the 'K-I-S-S-I-N-G' song. Where did you even know that from?

You shake the impulse off and continue walking, tucking Koujirou under your arm to keep yourself between the two children.
I really think Anna should join the boardgame club, since that would help her distinguish whether Durga is doing something, or she is. Also I imagine this is Durga attempting to narrow down the definition of 'normal'.
An echo of restlessness or maybe dissatisfaction washes out from that part of you that you recognised as your Valkyrie Core.
I get the feeling that the Valkyria Core is hating the simulator limitations?
One hypervelocity cannon. It was awesome, apparently really new too. Anna had two of them. Your melee halberd, apparently just an extendable metal blade that used actual physical contact to deal damage.
That melee halberd is going to turn out hax when outside of the simulator.
All four come together again to form the outlines of another weapon, but this time it looks a bit incomplete, as if there were missing parts to it, before breaking apart and attaching back onto her frame.
We'll need to get working on completing the weapon.

He's been training after dinner every night with Setsuna and Yukari, apparently.

He's not lazy, just green.
I never thought he was lazy, just laid back. He doesn't need a kick in the pants to get going, just a look at where he stands compared to someone who he probably thinks is the best he'll meet at this school. It'll help him set his goals and figure out how to reach them, while building up some more rapport with the squad. All kinds of win here going on.
 
If the main character with support dosn't land a hit on Anna won't that prompt him to try to find out why she is so good at piloting?
 
Huh...

Hey Avalanche, is that something unique to Koji's Valk? Or can Durga do the same with its Hypercannons?
No, you'll need to eat ammunition crates to sustain long term fire with your Hypervelocity Cannons.That or you start consuming missiles, but that's somewhat poor resource allocation.

Your control over internal processes in contrast are good enough that you don't have to worry about head or mechanical wear unless you deliberately overcharge systems.
 
Either she's overestimating Anna's spec or there's a raw spec difference between Elite Valks and everyone else beyond just skill.

Anna isn't just an Elite Valkyrie. She's the Peerless Valkyrie who's rated 'First of the Three Hundred,' aka 'the Most Elite of the Most Elite Group We've Got' despite not having ever had a formal combat education nor having tested if she's compatible with their equipment.
 
[x]Alright, here's what we're gonna do…
-[x]Insert half a plan that won't work here from Yukari and Setsuna.
--[x]Get tired of planing that won't work
---[x]YOLO!Interrupt
