A/N I'm sorry if I get any Japanese or Korean traditions wrong - I've done some research but I'm gonna make (a lot of) mistakes haha
The plane was still running as I stepped off into the brisk wind that nearly knocked me off the stairs. I drew my coat closer to my body, trying to block the breeze and stay warm.
It's much warmer in Korea, was the first thing that went through my mind. I guess I did partially already want to be back.
I was guided to the back of the plane by two security officers where the familiar dark blue police car carefully drove off the back ramp to the plane. He quickly changed shape just ahead of me, his red visor flashing as he looked at me, and I gave him a small smile in return.
"Miss Tae-Young!" The robot ahead of her was the first to turn his gaze away, and I followed it and turned around. A Japanese man, older, probably in his late thirties or early fourties, with thick black hair that was parted to his right and a suit greeted me with a bow as he approached. His voice was loud but smooth, and could definitely fit as an announcer, had he not spoke as fast as he did. "Mr Azuma. Vice inspector general of the police department. I hope your trip fulfilled expectations, the whole Brave Police unit excitedly awaits you in the hangar!" I glanced back at my robot, and he bowed his head with a smile. I followed Mr Azuma off the tarmac.
Eight robots and one small child.
A child. Couldn't have been older than a fourth grader. I had to do a double take from the robots to the child to make sure I really saw what was in front of me.
"Welcome to Japan, Lynnelle Tae-Young!" the child exclaimed, though it was more of a squeak as he scurried over. "I'm Yuuta Tomonaga, boss of the Brave Police here in Japan, just as I have heard you are in your country." I frowned for a moment.
"Boss?" I repeated, brushing some of my brown hair behind my ear.
"Yeah, yknow, someone who's in charge, or who-"
"Yes, yes, I know what a boss is, I'm just a little surprised that someone of your age could reach such a high rank." He smiled, flustered, and brought his right hand back to rub the back of his head. This action lifted his yellow jacket and exposed the blue phone on his belt.
My gosh, he was their boss.
"It's quite a long story." This came from the blue robot behind him. He wasn't as dark as my robot, and the top of his head was shaped like a police cap.
"Deckerd," Yuuta said simply, beginning to introduce his team as he moved to a white and red robot. "This is Knight, from England. MacCrane, Gunmax, Drill Boy, Dumpson, and Shadowmaru." Each nodded at their respective names.
"I only brought our leader with me so Korea wasn't left completely unprotected. This here is Corion," I said, proudly introducing my companion. "I believe this trip will not only be useful for my knowledge of Brave Police, but to his AI chip also." I could hear metal grinding behind me, and I knew he bowed.
"Of course. We have added a new desk at headquarters for him. How long are you to stay?" Azuma asked from my right.
"Three months, I believe," I answered.
"Plenty of time to see how this unit works. Please accompany us to headquarters."
