A little later in the evening, Ai arrived at Satow Stadium. Ken had told her that she needed to go to the ticket booth in order to claim the reserved seat since he hadn't been able to hand it over in person.
The line wasn't too busy and she was able to secure the ticket.
After passing through security, Ai made her way into the designated seating and saw an attractive woman with her long blond hair tied up in a bun right next to her seat.
Ai sat down and turned her attention to the field. They were good seats and she could see the two teams going through their warm-up drills below.
"Hi there."
Ai turned to see the woman smiling at her. For a moment she didn't know how to respond, but she eventually replied, "H—Hello."
Her English was still not the best, but it had been getting better. The hardest part was when someone spoke too fast, or if they had an accent that she didn't recognize.
"You must be Ai."
"Eh? You know me?"
