T.A series Volume 7: Feathers of Fury

Chapter 29 - New York City

As the plane touched down in New York, the excitement reached a new high. The students disembarked, their energy renewed as they stepped onto foreign soil. The bustling airport and the city's skyline in the distance were a sight to behold, filling them with a sense of wonder and adventure.

Ranran couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation as she walked down the aeroplane's ramp and onto the tarmac at the New York airport. The air felt different, charged with a unique energy that was distinct from what she was accustomed to. The sights and sounds of the bustling airport were exhilarating, and she couldn't help but glance around in awe at the new surroundings.

The students gathered together, chatting excitedly as they made their way through customs and baggage claim. The city's skyline loomed in the distance, a testament to the vibrant and dynamic nature of New York. It was a far cry from the familiar streets of her hometown, and Ranran was determined to make the most of this opportunity.

As they stepped out of the airport and onto the streets of New York, Reina took a deep breath, savouring the mixture of scents and the feeling of being in a completely new environment. The towering buildings, the honking of taxis, and the hustle and bustle of people going about their day added to the sensory overload, but she embraced it wholeheartedly.

Takuma walked beside her, a smile playing on his lips as he observed Reina's wide-eyed wonder. "This is way better than that damn island our class 1-A was out camping in the wilderness, right?"

"Absolutely! No bugs, no uncomfortable tents. This is the kind of adventure I can get behind." Reina chuckled, her eyes still taking in the vibrant cityscape around her.

Even the other kids were amazed by the sight, one of them said, "This is better than that time we were miserable under the tent for 2 weeks in a row!"

The sentiment was shared by many as they continued to explore the city. The students' excitement was infectious, and their laughter filled the air as they walked through the bustling streets of New York. The towering skyscrapers and iconic landmarks seemed to beckon them, promising a multitude of experiences waiting to be discovered.

Ranran's eyes sparkled with a mixture of excitement and determination. She had faced challenges and uncertainties back home, but here, in this new and vibrant city, she felt a renewed sense of purpose. The dream she had earlier felt distant now, replaced by the thrill of the present moment.

Shinichi walked alongside Ranran, his own curiosity and enthusiasm evident in his gaze. "Welcome to New York, Ranran. The Big Apple has a lot to offer, and I'm sure we're going to have an interesting time here."

"Speaking of which, you mentioned coming here before, right?" Takuma suddenly remembered.

"Ah yes, once when I was around 4, my parents took me here," Shinichi reminisce, "My mother was a former silver screen actress, so she used to take me to visit various movie sets and events. I got to see a bit of the glitz and glamour of the entertainment world back then."

Takuma grinned. "That's pretty cool. So, any recommendations on what we should do first?"

"Well," Shinichi began, "I think a good way to start is by exploring some of the iconic landmarks. We could visit Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and maybe catch a Broadway show."

"But can we catch up doing all of that?" Reina reminded the three, "You guys mentioned you all had to look into Professor Shibuya's missing stolen eagle here, right?"

"That's right! That NASA company!" Takuma groaned a bit, "But I want to play too."

"Considering Professor Shibuya had vanished abruptly since 9 am days ago, I don't think he would've managed to fly all the way from Japan and end up here, because I had Sergeant Genzo seize his passport, which is why Michio, Emiko and Junko who is back in Japan will try their effort to either locate Professor Shibuya and Professor Hoga. So there is no harm letting loose a bit." Ranran decided.
