The children, thrilled to see Taiga wearing the same style of uniform as Asuka, grabbed him by the hand and dragged him straight into the warehouse, eagerly introducing him to the other members of the defense team one by one:
Nonoko and Maomi, who were in charge of machinery repair and inspection, and Risa, who was responsible for looking after the children. (Yes, it's the same name here; there was nothing to be done about it, as that was simply her name in the original story.)
Catching sight of Taiga being pulled along by the kids, Risa froze for a moment, momentarily mistaking him for Asuka. But she quickly snapped back to her senses.
Taiga flashed a cheerful grin and greeted her, but Risa ignored him entirely, walking straight up to Takeru. With a mixture of worry and gentle reproach, she said, "Takeru, thank you goodness you're safe. Why did you run off on your own? You must have had a reason, right?"
