This mini-episode serves as a comedic introduction to Tanya’s character in the mini-series format.

Tanya, known for her ruthless battlefield tactics, is shown struggling with mundane office work — piles of paperwork, bureaucratic meetings, and the tedious side of military administration.

Tanya and Viktoriya are having a quiet conversation when Tanya suddenly spaces out (i.e. her expression changes, she becomes distant). Her grim expression and laughter terrify Viktoriya, who calls out to her but can’t immediately bring her back to her senses.

Tanya and Viktoriya are standing together in front of a nutcracker. Tanya is lost in thought, mentally complaining about a few things: being subject to “Being X,” problems with her superiors (like Doctor Schugel), military issues, etc.

Visha being unaware that her Captain was once a man

Characters Rhiner, Viktoriya (“Visha”), Vooren, and Wilibald are gossiping about Tanya’s harsh training methods in the Imperial Army’s 203rd Air Mage Battalion.

Weiss expresses his doubts/concerns to Viktoriya about their war conduct, specifically that he (Weiss) was merely following the manual / orders as an Air Mage.

Rhiner and Koenig visit him. Weiss expresses that he really wants chocolate to lift his spirits after the tiring fight.

Tanya asks Viktoriya if she can tell the difference between a normal and a rotten potato. Viktoriya responds that the only way she can tell is by taste. Tanya then explains the proper way to recognize a rotten potato and the aftereffects of consuming one.

The group is playing cards, and Vooren is on a losing streak, becoming increasingly frustrated. He suggests that betting alcohol instead of chocolate might make the game more serious.
