Tanya applies full tactical brilliance to a problem that should never require tactical brilliance: boiling pasta in a desert without water. The comedy lives entirely in watching a ruthless mage commander treat dried pasta logistics with the same intensity she brings to actual warfare. One ONA episode, zero pretense, just the absurd collision of military precision and food scarcity that the main series only hints at.

Tanya and the 203rd Air Mage Battalion she commands are sent to fight on the front line in the southern desert. To give the troops something to eat in such punishing conditions, Colonel Rerugen ships dried pasta out to the battlefield. The catch is that water is scarce, so the question becomes whether Tanya and her soldiers can actually enjoy the pasta at all. The story is a single-episode Action and Fantasy ONA.
