We've finally arrived! In the United States of America!
Oh, I'll take a photo and send it to my dad to let him know that we've made it over safely!
Good call! I'll do the same!
Hey, quit acting like we're at an amusement park. Have you let Taiga's manager know that we're arrived?
Yeah, when we were at baggage claim.
I'm still waiting to hear back from him.
Okay.
Hear that, Toya?
You get to rest for a while.
It's been a little while now since we got off the plane, but you still don't look that great. How are you feeling?
I'm okay...
Yeah, I don't buy that. Quit the tough-guy act.
We can sit down over there, Aoyagi!
There's even a shop right next to it, so why don't we all grab some drinks and have a seat?
Okay...
Let's do that.
Alright, you guys watch our bags!
No problem.
Oh, hey!
This is gonna be our first American shopping experience!
Yeah, you're right! I hope we're able to put our lessons to good use.
Here, Toya, have a seat.
Thank you...
I'm glad we had a smooth flight, huh.
A little turbulence can make an airplane shake a lot, right?
Yes...
Like a roller coaster...
Actually, it might be worse than that.
Compared to that, I think we got off fairly lightly...
Yeah, I basically fell asleep after watching just one movie.
How about you? Get any sleep?
Only a little...
Yeah, I guess anyone would have trouble sleeping when they're feeling as tense as you were.
I mean, you clung to your seat's armrests like your life depended on it.
Yes, during takeoff in particular.
I felt that I had to hold on tight or else...
But I also feel bad for hogging it.
I'm sure you would've also liked to use it...
Yeah, but I didn't mind letting you use it during takeoff.
(I knew he'd have a rough time with his fear of heights, but I didn't think it'd affect him this much...)
(After the plane took off, he closed his eyes and refused to look towards any of the windows.)
(The flight home probably isn't gonna be any easier. I just hope that it goes smoothly...)
We're back! With drinks!
Thanks.
So, did you actually speak in English at the counter?
Yeah, of course!
Touche.
Oh, Uncle Taiga's manager just got back to me! He says he's really close by...
Close by?
Yeah, he said we'll probably know who he is, so we should come find him.
What?
But we've never met him before.
No, wait. Over there. That has to be him.
Huh? Where?
How did you know who to look for?!
The person over by the exit.
He's holding a sign that says, “WELCOME! Vivid BAD SQUAD!”
Hehe. He's right...
Oh, I think he noticed us!
Let's grab our bags...
You okay to walk, Toya?
Yes, I should be fine now.
I feel a little better after sitting down...
That's good to hear...
Then, let's go over to where the manager is.
No problem.
