"So, what beast did you tame, Satoshi?" Shiroi asked while a cute mini penguin slowly sway-walked beside her.
The penguin was the fluffiest penguin Satoshi had ever seen, and it was also one of the smallest ones. If it were to be compared to earth's standards, then it would be classified as a nestling. Furthermore, it's fur had a shiny tint to it. Satoshi and the others then realized that even though the penguin had the same color palette as the penguins from the earth, the tips of its fur had a golden hue on it, making it look sparkly as it is cute.
When Shiroi asked him the prying question, Satoshi had no idea how he'd respond. There was no way he could tell her that he caught a human— the apex predator in that region. Even though they'd become aware of it sooner or later, Satoshi still couldn't bring himself to tell her as well as the group. Some part of him felt guilty, despite Ryoko's sincere feelings of gratitude.
"I... I'm actually not sure..." Satoshi vaguely answered, scratching his head. He couldn't really answer honestly because of Ryoko's complicated status as both a beast and a human.
"Let's see it then!" Hiroshi called out, beside him, a Red Salamander was bobbing its head up and down.
Before Satoshi could respond, a girl their age came up to them. She had a Frost Elephant with her, matching her cerulean hair and clear blue eyes. "You don't have to show it, Satoshi. For anyone who doesn't know, there will be a mini-tournament after lunch so we'd get to showcase our beasts." Upon saying that, the girl sat beside Satoshi before opening her bento, self-inviting herself to the group during lunch.
"Aaand... you are?" Satoshi asked. Somehow, the girl looked oddly familiar but he couldn't quite tell who she was. "I'm sorry, have we met before?"
"Of course we did... but you probably don't remember since we were small back then." The girl responded. "The name's Lydia Schwarz."
"Ah!" Satoshi pointed out as if a light bulb turned on in his head. He recognized who she was— she was none other than Aquaborne's daughter. "No wonder you look familiar. Your dad used to visit a lot back then."
"Yeah, but it's gotten busy ever since he became the number one superhero in our country, Switzerland. I've seen you a couple of times in live streams, Satoshi, who would've thought you'd awaken your superpower at a later age." Lydia smiled before eating the onigiri in her bento box.
"Y-you're Lydia Schwarz?! And Aquaborne's your dad? Wow so cool!" Midori burst out out of the blue, joining in on the conversation. "I've seen your dad on news channels, and he's pretty cool! From what I can remember, he has the superpower called Water Integration, right? It allows him to transform himself to water, allowing himself to integrate with liquids."
Unsurprisingly, Shiroi and the others know very little about Aquaborne (Joseph Schwarz) and that's because no one actually knows the number one superhero of a country. Unless one's a die-hard fan of superpowers and superheroes, they won't even know much about the superheroes in other countries. As for Midori, it was by pure chance that he became a fan of Aquaborne, that's why he knows about him.
"So you came here for the Beast Dimension, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Emma Leisenberg." Emma mustered the courage to introduce herself. As someone who's also the same age as Lydia, she thought that maybe introducing herself would be her first step in making friends. That's how she got a tad bit close to Shiroi and the others,
"Nice to meet you too," Lydia answered casually. "And no, I actually came to Japan as an exchange student... but... there will be an entrance exam in a few days' time before I'm guaranteed a spot in school. You're all studying in the USA, right? That's where I'm going."
"So you're also transferring to our school, that's great!" Shiroi chimed in, sitting with the group and scooting over towards Satoshi's other side. "I guess Emma would have company once she applies for our school as well."
"Ah, right. I almost forgot about that." Emma continued.
"By the way, Midori, what beast did you tame? I tamed a Red Salamander, awesome right?" Hiroshi pumped his fists in the air while his Red Salamander continued to bob its head up and down. No one knows why it does that but it looked cute so no one complained about the weird behavior.
"Ah, me? Hehe..." Midori snickered. Just then, a plant-like beast came out from behind him.
It had green vines that covered its entire body, and its eyes could be seen from within the thickest parts of the vines. It had a sinister red glow as eyes.
This time, it was Kim Jin Seok who came up to the group. He realized that Lydia's group was the biggest one there was so he decided to join them for a bit before lunch break was over. He just finished lunch and striking up a conversation would be nice with a full stomach. "That's a Vinerinna, right? Wow, it's the first time I've seen one."
"You see, with the hot climate in this portion of the Beast Dimension, it's hard to find a grass-type beast. I'm surprised you were able to find one. Funnily enough, ice types and fire types are more common in areas like this." Kim Jin Seok continued.
"So that's how it was. I was wandering around when I suddenly fell into a deep hole. And there I found this beast. I figured I should try taming it so it could get us out of that hole." Midori responded, scratching his head as he chuckled. "Well, at least everything worked out in the end. I've got myself a tamed beast and I escaped from that pit."
"An unexpected encounter that resulted in a destined meeting, huh? What a nice story." Kim Jin Seok nodded his head while tapping his finger on his arms. "Well, lunch break is already over so are you prepared for the next segment of this excursion?" He asked.
Everyone knew what the next segment was going to be, that's why they cheered a resounding 'yes' before Kim Jin Seok announced the commencement of the 'Unofficial Beast Tournament'.
