Suddenly, a car drove up to the school.
"Zia, what are you still doing here," the man asked. "you missed supper and it is getting late!"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I lost track of time while I was trying to learn Koharu's Wave Motion Swing." Zia answered.
"Who's this Koharu with the Wave Motion Swing?" the manasked Zia.
Koharu stepped forward, "That'd be me, Sir." she said to the man.
"Well, tell me where you live, Miss Hotta," the man said. "and Zia and I can give you a ride home."
"My current residence is the Shino Oden Restaurant located in Minazuki Alley." Koharu answered the man.
"I know exactly where that is! I stop by every day for lunch," the man said to Koharu. "and you may call me Samuel."
After being dropped off at her current residence, Koharu called out, "See you later, Samuel! See you tomorrow, Zia!"
Her father heard her, "Who are Samuel and Zia, Koharu?" he asked.
"The Andersons are new to Japan, Dad, Mr. Samuel Anderson stops here on his lunch hour before going back to work, and his daughter, Zia attends school with Ryo and me and is on our baseball team as a stand-in player, since Mao is sick this week, Zia is filling in as catcher." Koharu answered.
