Minor, but... "Rit-chan", yes. "Rits-chan", no.
"Ritsu-chan", possibly, but the first one waaay more likely.

	Snrk.  Irony.  In "Those who Hunt Elves", Asuka's VA played a girl
who was called Ritchan.

	Moreover, Rit-chan in TWHE looks like Asuka, and is a
Kensuke-style military nut. She brings her own tank with her, even. Hweh.
