Operator Akekuri, also known as Shiba Momiji, graduated from the Neo Tsukushi Business School and joined Endfield Industries as a reserve operator. She now leads Operations Team Z7 in the Specialist Tech Division, overseeing both field operations and team management. With her background, she could've walked into any renowned TGCC company with a single recommendation. Yet she chose to join Endfield. Even here, she could've opted for a desk job, but during her rotation in the Specialist Tech Division, she volunteered to take on the challenge of rebuilding Operations Team Z7, stepping into the role of a frontline operator. I believe Akekuri has always been driven by ideals and passion, she is exactly the kind of young talent Endfield needs. During her interview, she asked me: "What's Endfield's vision as a "great enterprise", and how does it plan to achieve it?" This is a question only the Endministrator can truly answer. — Martin Marvin Malen, Assistant, HR Division, Endfield Industries
Neo Tsukushi Business School News - Special Edition On the eve of the graduation ceremony, our reporter sat down with top graduate Shiba Momiji for an exclusive interview. "Miss Momiji, you've maintained the top GPA in your major for four years straight and won two gold medals in the TGCC Youth Business Competition. What has kept you so driven all this time?" Shiba Momiji smiled and replied, "It's just how I do things. Or maybe it's the way my mother taught me to approach life ever since I was little." Shiba Momiji interned at several top-tier TGCC companies. Her experiences included an on-site rotation at the headquarters of Shinozu Trading, as well as contributing to a business proposal for TGCC's logistics coordination system. Her key optimization ideas for the risk assessment model received glowing feedback from company leaders. Yet when asked about the achievement she's most proud of over the past four years, she spoke fondly of her work with the volunteer group Firefly Light. "I've always believed that the true value of business and management lies not only in profit, but also in how we support one another. Firefly Light taught me how to stretch limited resources to help as many people as possible." When asked about future plans: "Your mother runs Shiba Trading as its CEO. Many assume you'll follow in her footsteps, especially since you've never publicly expressed other ambitions. With graduation just around the corner, can you share your plans?" Shiba Momiji simply shook her head and grinned, "I've made up my mind. But ... you'll have to wait a little longer to find out." A Self-Recommendation Letter Dear HR Team at Endfield Industries, My name is Momiji Shiba, a student at the Neo Tsukushi Business School. I am writing to express my interest in joining Endfield Industries in a position focused on resource management and personnel coordination. Though I do not come from a technical or combat background, I specialize in logistics, coordination, and on-site problem-solving. I firmly believe these skills can make a meaningful contribution. I am ready to undergo any required training or evaluation and am willing to take on front-line responsibilities if needed. My goal is to be a dependable team member who helps others work more safely and efficiently. Thank you for your time and consideration. I have attached my resume, transcript, internship records, and project examples from past competitions. I look forward to hearing from you! Shiba Momiji
Application for Operations Team Z7 Leader Position APPLICANT: Akekuri ROLE: Rotational Operator, Specialist Tech Division Dear Supervisor Perlica, I have learned that the Operational Axis is currently recruiting a new leader for Operations Team Z7 within Endfield Industries. Therefore, I am writing to formally apply for the position. To my knowledge, Operations Team Z7 was originally a multipurpose support unit. Its former members have since been promoted or reassigned to other teams, leaving the unit inactive. Given the growing multi-front operational demands faced by Endfield Industries, as well as the ongoing personnel shortages within the Specialist Tech Division, I intend to rebuild Z7 as a compact, agile support team capable of independently handling low- to mid-risk missions while assisting other task forces when needed — all without drawing heavily on existing resources. I have completed all required field training, earning A or higher ratings in 32 real missions and over 200 simulations, and I have solid experience in on-site coordination and leadership. If required, I can also take on administrative duties and serve as a point of contact between Management Axis and Operational Axis. If approved, I will begin recruitment and training immediately to get the team mission-ready in the shortest time possible. A summary and detailed proposal are attached for your consideration. Sincerely, Akekuri No wonder that girl nagged me for a whole month, asking in painstaking detail about every tactical role — its duties, skill requirements, training plans... In the end, she even put my name down in her proposal. — Krad, Endfield Security Professional I'll be honest — a few of the people Operator Akekuri brought into Operations Team Z7 made HR raise their eyebrows. But, with Supervisor Perlica's green light and her personal guarantee, I'll give them a trial run for now. — Martin Marvin Malen, Assistant, HR Division, Endfield Industries Akekuri asked me to help train the new recruits — show them how to use tactical maneuvers against heavily armored targets. Oh? You got the same invite? — Conversation between Operator Chen Qianyu and Operator Ember in the hallway We successfully passed the assessment within three months, right on schedule! Great job, everyone! I've prepared some hot drinks and snacks. Once you've had a good rest, we'll take a look at our very first mission together! — Akekuri, Captain, Operations Team Z7
Letter from TGCC SENDER: Shiba Trading RECIPIENT: Human Resources Division at Endfield Industries Dear HR Team at Endfield Industries, Greetings. My name is Shiba Yoko, mother of Shiba Momiji. Pardon me for reaching out in this manner. As the CEO of Shiba Trading, I am accustomed to addressing matters with logic and efficiency. Yet as I write this letter, I find myself overwhelmed by emotions. Momiji is my only daughter. Her father met my younger brother while serving in the war against the Aggeloi. That bond eventually brought him into my life, and later, we had Momiji. While I was the strict teacher in her upbringing, her father and uncle were her playmates and protectors, filling her childhood with laughter and idealism. Everything changed after the Crusade against the Aggeloi ended ten years ago. Her uncle never returned, and her father came back a different man — only to leave home not long after. Since then, I have raised Momiji with care and intention, preparing her to carry forward both our family and our business. I shielded her from the very things that once tore our lives apart. She set aside her childhood game of "fighting Aggeloi" and turned her focus to her studies, growing into a diligent, outstanding young woman. She has never once let me down. And yet, upon graduation, she made an unexpected decision — joining Endfield Industries and volunteering for front-line duty. I was taken aback and deeply upset. We argued incessantly, and our relationship suffered. But over time, I came to realize this was not just a reckless impulse. The same sense of justice and idealism that once guided her father lives on in her. Though these ideals may have cost her a carefree childhood, they now give her purpose — and strength. I no longer oppose her decision. She is determined to prove her worth, even if it means risking everything. That is a resolve I cannot deny. I respectfully ask that you keep her safe, as much as circumstances allow. But please understand that my daughter is more than just academically gifted. Thank you for supporting her journey. Shiba Yoko
Before, reflecting on the past used to come naturally for Shiba Momiji. Back in school, she had a knack for breaking down a year's worth of progress with neat charts and detailed annotations — earning top grades with ease. But now, things are different. It's been a full year since Operations Team Z7 was formed. And instead of stats and milestones, what fills her heart now ... are feelings. She constantly worries about Catcher. As the team's shield and support, he looks after everyone like family. Is he overextending himself...? She pays attention to Estella's condition. Some may see her as unmotivated or laid-back, but Akekuri knows better. Estella is healing her own fragile body while quietly helping Op Z7 heal the world. That takes a rare kind of strength. She watches over Fluorite's moods, not just her frequent outbursts or headstrong ways. Akekuri often asks herself: Am I being a strong enough cushion? One that lets her feel understood and safe? She worries about Antal too. Often labeled an "odd one," Antal is, in truth, passionate and reliable — his way of connecting simply different. She sees how hard he's been working to keep pace with the team. It's because of them that Z7 stands as it does today. She's deeply grateful — for their trust, for their belief in her leadership, and for proving that this team, once seen as inexperienced, could stand on its own. But most of all, she wonders about herself: Has she met the expectations she set — using what little they had to help as many as possible ... and to find her own light in the process? Sometimes she wonders: if the ideals of Endfield are ever fulfilled, and peace finally comes — maybe, just maybe, her parents might reconcile. And perhaps she could go home, just like when she was little ... and share one peaceful family meal together again. She is giving her all to make that future possible. Annual Performance Report SUBMITTED BY: Akekuri, Captain, Operations Team Z7 Dear Supervisor Perlica, This report outlines the major operations and achievements of Operations Team Z7 over the past year. We completed 40 missions with a 95% success rate and zero casualties. These included 16 cross-region supply runs, 9 joint wildlands recon operations, 7 high-risk engineering escorts, and 8 emergency rescues. We've steadily grown from a provisional support force into a reliable, fully operational unit. P.S. While our combat rating remains average in this year's assessment, we ranked among the top in support, command, and management. ...... Regarding the rumored awakening of the "Endministrator," though I have yet to witness it myself, I can feel the excitement in stories shared by our seniors. If possible, I'd like to respectfully request that Operations Team Z7 be involved in missions under the Endministrator's command. It would be a privilege to personally deliver our tactical reports — and even more meaningful to work alongside the Endministrator to bring Endfield's vision to life. Together, we can restore peace to Talos-II...
Prepped and primed! Let's hit it, team!
This is our chance to learn and grow!
Akekuri, Op Z7, reporting in! Excited to join the mission, let's make it a success!
Awesome, another task from the Endmin! What better way to learn than this!
A new weapon, hmm ... definitely feels unique. Alright, I've gotta come up with fresh tactics and strategies!
Hmm, fits me just right! I'll be sure to send my feedback to the Arsenal soon.
This feels like stacking up credits, just not the kind you get from class.
So this is what an elite debriefing looks like ... truly eye-opening!
Ohhh, a promotion? What an honor! Feels like a nod to me and the whole Z7 crew. Rest assured, we'll keep pushing forward!
More risky missions to come? Nope, I'm more excited than scared. It's a sign of your trust, and I see it as a great chance for us to learn and grow.
Endmin, got a bit of time later? The team's throwing you a little celebration party. I baked a Mont Blanc cake just for you, and trust me, you won't wanna miss it!
There's a theory I learned in class that everyone will eventually be promoted to a role they can't handle. So, if I get stuck for too long, Endmin, please be sure to step in and offer me your guide.
Captain Akekuri of Operation Team Z7 reporting in! The operations dossier, budget summary, and action plan are ready for review. Which would you like to read first?
A strong team is one without any weak links.
C'mon, let me do something for Endfield!
You can count on me. I've done the job before.
Small world, Endmin! You just wrapped up a mission as well?
Coffee break, Endmin? I can whip up a fresh pot for you!
Nice to meet you, Endministrator. I'm Akekuri from Operation Team Z7. Oh, it's okay! We may be newly reformed and flying under the radar for now, but I promise — we're going to make our mark.
Knowing you've been guiding Endfield since day one, I thought you'd be a lot stricter. But you're more easygoing than I expected — heehee, I guess that's part of what makes a true leader!
I must say, I'd much rather be here in Dijiang than at those so-called "fancy events" run by the business elites in Neo Tsukushi. People here are way more relaxed and actually making a real impact.
Have you ever had nama yatsuhashi? It's a traditional Higashi sweet with red beans, matcha, and roasted chestnut flavor. If you're up for it, come along to the next Z7 team meeting.
Hey, Endmin. Wanna sit down for a cup of hot tea? We've got cool stories from the mission to share!
I love looking up at Talos-II from the Bridge. It's got all my memories — where I grew up, where my family last was, and the places you've changed. Hey, what's with the surprise face? I totally got A+ in planetary geology and modern history!
Ah, Endmin! I got you a little something from the field mission. Hope you like it!
Wow, a gift for me?! Is it a reward for something I did, or...?
Oh, you wanna know why the valedictorian from Neo Tsukushi chose to join Endfield? Truth is, I'm the one who's grateful they chose me. I like everything about my Op Team, far more than any corporate ladder. Here, I get to be a fellow combatant as well as a pioneer.
My wish? I just hope Mom and Dad can make peace. Dad's been out fighting Aggeloi, while Mom's been running the family store. But why should that mean they have to live separate lives? If they both worked at Endfield, maybe they wouldn't have to choose between duty and family...
When I was little, I used to play this game called "Fight the Aggelos" with Dad and Uncle. I'd ride on their shoulders like I was the commander. Then, ten years ago, Uncle got called up to the north as a shinobi hacker and never came back. That was when my parents stopped speaking to each other. I almost forgot about those "battles" until Endfield brought it all rushing back.
After applying to reestablish Z7, I went through over a year of intense training and trials. But what truly mattered was meeting Catcher, Fluorite, Estella, and Antal. They're the heart of our team and the reason Z7 has a future.
Haha, guess there's no hiding anything from you, Endmin. Yeah, my mom had it all planned out — business school, join TGCC, follow in her footsteps. Welp, me joining here was not a part of her script. Sooo ... please make Endfield the biggest deal on Talos-II, or she'll start calling me back! Oh, by the way, if you ever shop in the Band, take this card. Shh... Yes, the store everyone knows about.
I know I'm not the strongest fighter out there — that's why trust and teamwork are our best defense. Now you see why this flare gun matters so much!
Wanna know how I keep Z7 running smooth? It's actually quite simple — eat everything Catcher cooks, gift Fluorite flytraps, power through Estella's noisy tracks with her, and laugh at Antal's jokes. Trust me, it works.
Our first mission together was just a simple escort gig — helping Endfield engineers build a dam on the frontier. Sounds easy, right? We bungled it so bad we could've written a "101 Things Not to Do" handbook. But when the dam was finally finished, standing waist-deep in that cold water... The sense of accomplishment was real.
If you were leading us, Endmin ... I'd say let Estella and Antal cover us, Catcher and I draw the heat, and Fluorite lands the final blow. Wait, you've got a totally different plan?
You wanna see my report card? Hmm, all A+ except for the business simulation in sophomore year. My teammates were counting on me, so oops... I kinda made the other teams go bankrupt. The professor later told me that in Talos-II, zero-sum strategy isn't the best approach. That was my one and only A-.
Everyone says Catcher's a great teammate, but honestly, he's the one who needs the most care. I kept making coffee for everyone at the team meetings, and he just drank it every time for two months — until we found out he was allergic! That's when I switched him to hot cocoa.
Some people are scared of Fluorite because of the way she speaks and her background. But if you get to know her, you'll see the courage and sense of justice beneath that hood. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Another complaint about Estella lacking motivation? Nah, that's not true. Just look at her record, she's actually all about the thrills, adventures, and hard work!
Oh, you don't get Antal's humor? *Giggle* Try looking at it from his point of view, maybe you'll catch his train of thought and find that funny... Hahaha!
I think I spotted something interesting over there... Let's go check it out!
High-value object identified. Requesting approval to initiate collection operation.
Unidentified area detected. Awaiting additional instructions for action.
High-risk target detected. Stay calm, we've trained for this.
These minerals are essential materials for Endfield.
Let me give you a hand! We're a team, right?
Nice! Looks like we've made quite the haul!
Acquiring Aurylene is our top priority on missions. I wonder what secret it hides...
Alrighty, another hurdle down! Onward to our goal!
Phew, now I can finally sit down and enjoy my coffee. Oh, I should also plan the next steps, fix up my gear, and check my bag.
Stay calm, let's get you patched up first.
A timely treatment!
Take cover, NOW!
A good captain ... should never back down...
Even if I fall ... I won't stay down.
Wow, perfect execution!
Beautifully done! I'm amazed!
It's all about our teamwork!
Couldn't have done it without you all!
We're going head-to-head, execute Plan A!
Let's go! I have total faith in y'all!
Next up is AAR, PCA ... but let's cheer for our victory first!
We're getting there — slowly but surely.
Great job. We've all done our part for Endfield!
A flawless win teaches little. It's the flaws that sharpen us.
Mistakes help us learn. I'm sure we can do better next time.
Watch this!
Piercing strike!
Area sweep!
Make way!
Feel the burn!
Now's the moment!
Let's team up!
Hmph! Blaze through!
Now ignite!
You are finished!
This ends here!
Team, follow my flare! Let's GO!
Let the hanabi rise!
Victory strategy, engage!
