On a snowy night in the JDR, Prapor and Karin unexpectedly find Hannah passed out drunk by the roadside. However, rescuing the intoxicated "Black Panther" is no easy task...

In the early hours following the snowfall, Prapor and Karin were making their way back to camp after a work trip, strolling along at a leisurely pace and chatting casually…
Prapor ……So, before joining the Eighth Squad, Karin worked in the Security Bureau's containment and medical team, right?
Karin That's right, every winter, one has to patrol the streets carefully. Especially at night, you really need to keep an eye on dark corners along the roadside or places like sewer manhole covers...
Karin Intoxicated people will instinctively huddle into these spots; if they aren't discovered in time, they will almost certainly suffer frostbite or even lose their lives.
Karin For instance, take a spot under the eaves where a mound suddenly rises up from beneath the snow, it might look like a pile of roadside trash or debris, but it could just as easily be someone who has passed out from drunkenness...
Karin Huh?! Wait, that's actually a person!
Prapor Let's hurry and check on his condition!
Prapor and Karin quickly stepped forward to take a look...
Hannah ……
Karin Yes, it’s Hannah! She... she must have had too much to drink again!
Prapor and Karin checked on Hannah...
The layer of snow covering Hannah had melted significantly, soaking her clothes through, but fortunately, her complexion looked normal.
Prapor We need to help her up right away, the ground is too cold. Karin, hurry and contact Ababil to bring an ambulance.
Karin Wait, Prapor, you can't just touch Hannah right now...
For a moment, Prapor didn't grasp what Karin meant—he reached out to grab Hannah's arm, intending to pull her up from the ground...
Hannah Ha!
Hannah’s body curled up, her back arched, and she was making strange sounds.
Prapor Is she talking nonsense because she’s had too much to drink? Hannah sounds so strange.
Karin Comrade Prapor, get away from her!
Hannah Ha! ~
Hannah Gwa!
Hannah, who just moments ago had been lying stiff and motionless on the ground like a heap of muck suddenly began flailing her limbs, wildly slashing and clawing at Prapor...
Prapor Hiss... It felt like her fingernails had torn a bit of skin off my face, thankfully, Hannah was too intoxicated to use proper military combat techniques...
Karin Um... Comrade Prapor, this is how Hannah gets when she's dead drunk, she scratches anyone who touches her... like a cat in a panic...
Still, she wasn't completely unresponsive to their attempts to help; she drunkenly rolled over onto her back, curling up her limbs...
Prapor Hannah exposed her belly, I recall a saying that when animals expose their bellies, it’s a sign of friendliness.
Karin Really?
Prapor That should be right,let me try again... Whoa!
However, Hannah’s reaction didn't exactly signal friendliness; as Prapor tried to pull her up again, he was met with another wild, frenzied flurry of clawing...
Hannah Ha!~
Prapor It seems my theory was wrong. I was wearing thick enough clothes today, so getting scratched on the body didn't really matter, it's just my face…
Karin Hmm, let me think... to handle a big cat that's in a state of high stress like this, the thing to do is... grab her by the scruff of the neck!
Prapor We're reduced to treating Hannah like a cat... Alright, I'll give it a try...
Prapor braced himself for the prospect of getting scratched again...
Prapor I'll grab it!
Hannah Meow?!
The moment Prapor grabbed the scruff of Hannah's neck, her body shuddered, and she immediately froze completely still.
Prapor It really works! Hannah's neck is so cold; we need to get her somewhere warm right away...
Karin Right, and next up is... grabbing Hannah under the armpits and lifting her up off the ground!
Prapor So, is this also a method for catching cats? ...Wow, this big black cat is really heavy...
After paying a heavy price, Prapor and Karin finally got Hannah to a rescue center...
[The scene changes to a shooting ground]
Two days later, Prapor arrived at the Security Bureau's training grounds...
*Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!* (Sound of machine-gun fire)
In front of a row of dumbfounded officers, Hannah was demonstrating how to fire a general-purpose machine gun from a standing position.
Hannah See that? There’s no such thing as recoil, that’s just an illusion caused by tension in your arm!
Officer A Comrade Hannah is truly impressive... firing a general-purpose machine gun from a standing position with such stability…
Hannah It’s not just about firing from a stationary position; firing while on the move works just the same, watch this!
*Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!* (Sound of machine-gun fire)
Officer B Wow! That is truly unstoppable firepower. I wish I could learn that move too.
Prapor (It seems that incident the other night didn't leave Hannah with any serious frostbite; she's full of energy now.)
After the demonstration.
Julius Well done, Sergeant Hannah; you've really broadened your comrades' horizons.
Hannah It's a piece of cake for me.
Julius The next step is to compile a set of handouts and roll out this knowledge across the board.
Hannah Handouts , Handouts about what?
Julius Think of the handout as a textbook, just not as thick. You simply summarize the key technical points and compile them into a written document.
Hannah Wha-what technical points? Written materials?! ...What’s the point of all that fancy, unnecessary stuff? If someone wants to learn, I’ll teach them,it’s as simple as that.
Julius Sergeant Hannah, you can't possibly teach everyone personally; compiling the information into written materials would make it easier for everyone to understand.
Hannah If you want it tidied up, do it yourself!
Julius What? How could you do this…
Just as the two of them seemed on the verge of an argument, Julius spotted Prapor nearby; she hurriedly suppressed her anger and put on a polite expression.
Julius Ah, Prapor! Please forgive me for failing to welcome you properly; I have been occupied with official duties of late.
Hannah Prapor? Well... anyway... thank you and Karin for coming to my aid the other night…
Prapor As a fellow comrade, this is only right.
Julius Prapor, why is there a bloody scratch on your face? Although it doesn't look deep…
Hannah Ah... well…
Prapor It was scratched by a stray cat.
Hannah ……
Julius Even someone as amiable and easygoing as Comrade Prapor can get scratched by a stray cat?
Hannah ……
Prapor I wouldn't put it quite like that, although I did want to help that stray cat at the time, my approach was too rash and made her uneasy.
Hannah ……
Prapor Besides, I didn't end up suffering any serious injuries anyway!
Hannah !
Julius Well, I have another meeting to attend shortly... Anyway, Hannah, I’ll discuss the handouts with you later. Prapor, please excuse me.
Prapor Goodbye, Comrade Julius.
After Julius left…
Hannah You are a really annoying person.
Prapor Huh? Me?
Hannah Yeah, I hate it! I absolutely hate guys like you who make me owe you a favor!
Hannah I really need to find a way to repay the favor I owe you; otherwise... well, it feels like being covered in static electricity, just incredibly uncomfortable…
Prapor So that's the reason... Hmm... There are plenty of ways to return a favor; we can take our time and discuss it…
Hannah No, that won't do! If a favor goes unrepaid for too long, well, if something were to happen to you, Prapor, there would never be another chance to pay it back.
Prapor Well, surely it wouldn't go that far, would it? …
Hannah Alright, let's leave it at that, drinks are on me today!
Prapor Wait, are we drinking? And just today?
Hannah Yes! I’m going to bring out a prized bottle I’ve been saving, one I usually can't bear to drink,to treat you!
Prapor (Although I don't usually drink much, it wouldn't be right to keep making Comrade Hannah worry about social obligations...)
Prapor Since this is a prized possession of Comrade Hannah's, I really must savor it properly!
That very evening…
Prapor Comrade Hannah...
Hannah Huh?
Prapor I'm not much of a drinker, and I'm no expert when it comes to tasting... [Option 1] is this liquor supposed to taste this spicy and harsh? [Option 2]
Prapor I took two sips and felt my tongue go numb…
Hannah Well, the taste of alcohol... it's just... all sorts of things, really…
Prapor D-don't tell me... is it a fake botlle?
Hannah Impossible... absolutely impossible! I paid a fortune for this…
Prapor Another thing, Hannah, do you never eat anything when you're drinking?
Hannah Eating is Eating, why eat when you drink?
Prapor Yeah, exactly. Hannah, don't you think that just drinking leaves a really strong taste in your mouth, like you need something else to balance it out?
Hannah Speaking of that, of course there’s a way to switch things up! Just catch a whiff of your sleeve.
Prapor Ah?
Hannah Sniff, sniff... Hmm, sour and salty, perfect with a drink.
Prapor Just sniffing your own sleeve?
Hannah I'm getting a bit tired of always smelling my own sleeve, hmm, let me smell yours!
Prapor ……
Hannah There’s absolutely no kick to this cuff! It’s neither sour nor salty, and there’s no trace of the taste of blood! Just like Sylvia’s cuff!
Prapor ……Since someone has been looking after me lately, my clothes get washed fairly often.
Prapor (Wait, did Hannah also use Sylvia's cuff as a snack to go with her drink?)
Prapor Hannah, apart from sniffing your sleeve, isn't there anything you can put in your mouth?
Hannah Oh, something to put in your mouth? Yes, I have that…
After rummaging through her pockets, Hannah tossed a few shiny objects onto the table. Prapor ……This is a bullet.
Hannah That's right, the taste of a bullet pairs perfectly with liquor!
Prapor Hmm, Comrade Hannah, is it your habit to wash down your liquor with bullets? Do you swallow them whole, or chew them up before…
Hannah I'm not a machine gun, I'm certainly not going to *eat* the bullet! Just a lick to get a taste in my mouth, isn't that enough?
Hannah "Here, Prapor, have a lick of this armor-piercing round; it packs a real punch!"
Hannah sniffed her sleeve, took a deep swig, licked the bullet, and downed the glass. Meanwhile, Prapor’s suspicions about Hannah’s way of drinking only deepened...
Prapor Better to be careful, where’s my lighter? ...
Prapor lit the liquor in his small glass, the flame burned a bright yellow, a sign of excessive methanol content.
Prapor Sure enough, there is something wrong with the alcohol! "Comrade Hannah, you mustn't drink any more."
But Hannah’s arms lay sprawled across the table; she showed no reaction at all.
Prapor Comrade Hannah?
Prapor shook Hannah’s shoulder, she was limp, with no strength left in her.
Prapor Oh right, I shouldn't just go around touching Hannah at a time like this... though this time, I didn't get scratched immediately…
Hannah Meow~
Prapor What?
Hannah (Rub, rub~ rub, rub~)
Prapor Hannah is actually... rubbing her hair against me? She must be drunk…
Hannah Hehe, hehehe, Prapor~
Prapor What's wrong, Comrade Hannah?
Hannah ...You smell so good~~
Prapor ……Since someone has been looking after me lately, I’ve been bathing quite regularly.
Prapor (Wow, Hannah is starting to rub her cheek against mine. If I were to treat her like a cat, this is the moment to...)
Prapor Rub Hannah's cheek [Option 1] Rub Hannah's chin [Option 2]
Hannah Hehe, hehehe... *snore*
Karin Comrade Prapor? How are things going with your drinks with Hannah? I’m here to drive you back…
Karin Huh? Wait, wait, wait... Oh, sorry, I... I'm interrupting your... interrupting your drinks!
Prapor No! You’re not interrupting anything at all!
Karin Comrade Prapor... it’s perfectly fine to keep drinking with Comrade Hannah; there’s no need to rush back!
Prapor No, no, no, I have to go back! It's time to go back!
Karin Yet Comrade Hannah, who usually kept everyone at arm's length, was actually being so affectionate toward Prapor.
Karin This must be love! It is the power of love that has broken down Hannah's defenses!
Prapor It was clearly the power of the fake alcohol!
