Miho told Emi she understood her feelings, as she had had the same experience, and she hoped to befriend Emi, Hitomi, and Chihiro because of their common interest in Sensha-do. Emi told Miho that she do not like Japan, as everyone played kids' games instead of Sensha-do. In their conversations, Miho learnt about Emi's older sister, who came to Japan from Germany to practice Shensha-do. With that in mind, she went after Emi to talk with her and get to know her better. At first, Miho was demoralized by the situation but, after remembering advice that her sister Maho gave her when she was younger, she decided to persist and solve the quarrel between Emi and Hitomi. At school, Emi and Hitomi had a falling out that made them quit their meetings. Though Miho thought she had created a bond of friendship with the three girls, things did not immediately work out smoothly. Albeit with some reluctance, Emi joined the group. Miho asked her for help driving the tank back with all of them, having guessed she had some previous experience. Luckily for them, at that moment, Emi was passing by with her bicycle. Miho, Hitomi and Chihiro started to get along while driving one of the Nishizumi family's personal tanks, a Panzer IV, but during their first day driving it, Hitomi fell from the tank while getting out and sprained her ankle.
