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

Akito
No problem.
