Not being that familiar with the Strike Witches source material, I had thought Neuroi were a 'crystals as a part of every mechanism' thing.

Tangentially, are the Strike Witches canon shows worth tracking down in their own right?

Remilia is a wise older sister. Who also probably wouldn't listen if asked not to get involved, depending on other circumstances. Besides, Flandre needs exercise/target practice, and no one is likely to complain about using Neuroi for that.
