The Panzer Ameise Store is a Liminal Exchange store run by Honeypot Ant Liminals in Monster Musume, in Tokyo. The shop debuts in the manga series in Chapter 89.
General information[]
Panzer Ameise is a liminal store run by a Honeypot Ant Liminal tribe under the leadership of the Honeypot Ant Queen, who is more of a leader and not a real queen. The store is a rather medium-sized square building, with the image of the head of a soldier's ant above the entrance door. The store sells honey produced by the female Honeypot Ant workers in their breasts.
During the events of Chapter 89, customers were also able to milk the Honeypot Ant Workers manually by hand. Whether the store offers this customer service on a regular basis as part of the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill is unknown, however, as this was one of the grueling tests with which the Honeypot Ant Queen wanted to determine which candidate was best suited for the role of her future boyfriend. But Milme, the younger brother of the Honeypot Ant Queen, mentions that the Honeypot Ant Workers usually use milking machines, so manual milking is probably not a regular customer service of the store.
History[]
The Panzer Ameise Store was built some time before Chapter 89, but directly opposite of another newly built liminal store, the Bee Hive Store of a Honey Bee Liminal Tribe. This led to a fierce rivalry between the two stores, when the two liminal groups, since they both had the same goal, the desire to find a boyfriend for their queens, began to fight fiercely over the human customers coming to them. The Honeypot Ant Liminals were generally far more vocal or aggressive in their advertising than the Honey Bee Liminals.
Eventually, however, an incident in which Kimihito became more or less involved, led to the Honeypot Ant Queen eventually choosing Avis, the Honey Bee Queen's younger brother, as her boyfriend, while the Honey Bee Queen chose Milme, the Honeypot Ant Queen's younger brother, as her boyfriend, after they had previously rejected all other potential candidates with scathing speeches. This also led to the two queens starting to get to know and understand each other better, which also ended the rivalry between their workers and thus also the rivalry of the two stores.[1]
The comment of the Honeypot Ant Queen.
Shortly after this event, however, Panzer Ameise store was hit with another unprecedented crisis when the nutrient storage ant workers, after seeing how well Kimihito had milked one of them, went on strike and demanded better treatment. Since their main demand was that they want to be milked regularly by Kimihito, the Honeypot Ant Queen left a comment on the Darkbreast milk website, after Kimihito gained unwanted popularity as "The Mysterious Master Milker" due to his actions in the chapters of Volume 20, in which she urged him to come back to the Panzer Ameise shop. Kimihito, however, was very uncomfortable because he didn't need nor wanted this dubious popularity on such an illegal website and therefore he was not willing to answer on this request.[2]

Trivia[]
- The name of the shop is unusual in that it consists of German words in both the original Japanese edition and the English fan-translation of Volume 20.
- The name literally means armored ant in German.
- Unlike a ant tribe in real life, the Honeypot Ant Queen is not the mother of her tribe and her workers are not her sons and daughters. However, as can be seen in the request to Kimihito in Chapter 90, the Honeypot Ants still refer to each other as sisters.
- It is not known what role Milme has in the Panzer Ameise Store, as he cannot contribute to honey production as a male Honeypot Ant Liminal. As the Queen's younger brother, he seems to have at least some authority over the female workers -he could give Kimihito a recommendation, so that the latter only had to pass one of the grueling tests for his audience with the queen-, so maybe he could be more or less his sister's deputy.
