A few days later, Kenzumi and the whole gang were on their way out of town to go to the big open fields. It was the annual migration of the Huebirds of Happiness, and they did not want to miss them passing by. Thankfully Ms. Kohai had a minivan that could carry Kenzumi, Satoshi, Senpai, MC Adore, Ms. Beatia, and Luis.
"Are we there yet?" Satoshi asked.
"Just a few more miles." Ms. Kohai said, keeping her eyes on the road. "And try not to ask that question. You're to old to be asking that."
"Sorry, just excited to see some birds put on a huge demonstration of rhythm."
"I'll say." MC Adore said. "I haven't seen a huebird since I was a little girl."
"I haven't seen one since I was a little girl either." Senpai.
"We haven't seen one at all." Ms. Beatia said, pointing at herself and Luis.
"Then you'll enjoy your first time viewing them." Ms. Kohai said.
Kenzumi decided to change the subject, and said, "By the way, are we going to be visiting our dad later in the month?"
"Yes, we are." Ms. Kohai said.
"Your dad?" Ms. Beatia asked.
"Yeah, our dad has a job as a farmer, giving crops to many companies. So our dad lives far off in the countryside."
"I didn't know that." Senpai said.
"Well, the more you know."
They eventually made it to the viewing site. They got out of the van, gave the ranger their tickets, and made their way to the viewing platform. It was a platform reach by some stairs that was a couple meters above the ground, and gave a huge view to a large open plain.
"When do these birds show up?" Ms. Beatia asked.
"Well, it usually starts with four walking in a straight line." Kenzumi said. "Then more and more show up, and if enough come, you can actually feel them walking on the ground and jumping."
"I heard that if you collect one of each color feather of the birds," Satoshi said. "You'll be irresistible to whoever you talk to."
"Is that true?" Luis asked.
"It did happen once." Ms. Kohai said. "But it's illegal now, as many people tried hunting them for their feathers."
"Makes sense." MC Adore said.
It was then that the saw a bunch of ladies coming up the stair on the viewing platform, accompanied by Fumito.
"Hey girl." He said to Senpai.
"Not you again." Senpai said with a sigh.
"Just ignore him." Kenzumi said.
They then noticed that someone seemed to be pushing through the huge group of girls. When that one girl finally broke free from the crowd, it was revealed to be Mazenta. And when she got through, she ran up to Satoshi and trapped him in a hug.
"Nice to see you handsome!" She said.
"Can't say the same to you." Satoshi joked.
"Who's that?" Ms. Kohai asked.
"One of the Rap Girls. She's affected by the love potion that Kenzumi made."
"I see."
"What are you even doing here?" MC Adore asked Mazenta.
"I like, heard you guys were coming here, and I totally had to come." Mazenta said. "But I didn't have a ticket, so I just snuck in with that guy with an army of girls."
"I knew she wasn't interested!" Shouted a random girl in Fumito's group.
It was then that a big and hefty security guard came through the crowd of girls. He went up to Mazenta, grabbed her by her leather jacket, and pulled her up.
"Hey! Put me down you creep!" Mazenta said, flailing in the air.
"Sorry ma'am." Said the security guard. "But I'm afraid you can't be here without a ticket."
"Wait." Kenzumi said. "Did Fumito pay for all the other girls tickets?"
"Yep." Said the security guard.
"Wow."
So the security guard carried Mazenta. But before he could go down the stairs, Mazenta screamed out, "I'll always love you Satoshi!"
Satoshi simply shuddered.
"Don't worry about her." MC Adore said. "She's a freak."
"Thanks." Satoshi said flatly.
So after that, the group went to watch the Huebirds of Happines, while Fumito and his army of girls watched from the other side of the platform. They were all amazed on how millions of tiny birds could walk in such perfect timing in rhythm. And they could all feel them walking.
