An Exciting World Tour

Yae: Wow…!

Yae: Fufu.

Yae: Huh?!

Chisa: …Oh.

Chisa: (World Encyclopedia…?)

Yae: Uh-huh…

Yae: Wow, how did they do it…?!

Yae: Ah…

Yae: But what do I do? Every country seems so fascinating…

Chisa: Welcome back. Traveling around the world is fun even when you do it via a book, right?

Yae: Kya?! S-Sasuga-san…? When did you come in?

Chisa: Around the Spanish Tomato Festival, I think.

Yae: You’ve been here this long?

Chisa: It was fun to watch the faces you made. Panda probably would have taken plenty of photos.

Yae: My emotions were showing that much? Now it’s a bit embarrassing.

Chisa: It was cute. Seems like you’ve been enjoying this book a lot.

Yae: Yes! The librarian recommended it to me, so I borrowed it, and it really turned out to be very interesting!

Chisa: World Encyclopedia, a nice book indeed.

Yae: Sasuga-san, did you read it too?

Chisa: I was glad to see that somen noodles were listed under Japanese specialties. The editor has a good taste.

Yae: Fufufu, Sasuga-san, that’s something you would say.

Chisa: But why this book exactly? Are you planning a trip abroad?

Yae: A trip would be awesome. But in truth I need it for my school assignment.

Chisa: Ah, that’s nice. When I was in elementary school, we also worked on a similar assignment with Panda.

Chisa: Have you chosen a country already?

Yae: Actually… The more I read, the more interesting every country seems, so it’s been hard to choose…

Yae: Um… If you don’t mind, could I ask you for advice?

Chisa: No sweat. So, what countries have you picked out so far?

Yae: First of all, America. Its Broadway shows are the first thing that comes to mind, so I thought it would be nice to do some research on that.

Yae: The second one is France. It also seems to have a rich theatrical tradition. There are opera houses, and it’s famous for various fine arts.

Yae: Then there’s Egypt with its pyramids, but the Spanish Tomato Festival also seems interesting…

Chisa: I get what you mean. At a closer look, every country has its charm.

Chisa: But… Fufufu, seems like I came right on time.

Yae: ?

Chisa: My fellow explorer, take a look at this flyer!

Yae: Explorer…? Italian… Fair, huh?

Chisa: Yup. My Legendary World Expedition Team was about to go on a journey to discover the wonders of Italy.

Chisa: Why don’t you take part in it too? Let’s step into the unknown together.

Yae: Wow, that sounds fun.

Yae: I wonder what we can find there.

Chisa: It’s Italy, so surely tomatoes and olive oil. And plenty of delicious pasta and pizza tastings you can eat to your heart’s content.

Yae: I don’t think we should eat too many of them…

Yae: But it’d be nice to be able to try authentic food!

Chisa: And it looks like the works of art exhibited there are on par with those of other countries.

Chisa: Of course, nothing’s wrong with choosing a country based on what you’ve read in a book, but don’t you think it would be good to choose after engaging with the real thing?

Yae: You’re right… It’s better to make the decision after seeing things with your own eyes.

Yae: Please, let me join!

Chisa: Sure. Then, let’s depart on our Italian expedition right away!

Chisa: Are you ready, my fellow explorer?

Yae: Please, wait a moment, I’ll let mom know!
