Things were different. More hectic. Ever since that tournament between Purgatory and Kengan, and everything that happened after, the amount of changes that rocked Japan's business industry was tremendous. This meant more late nights, more meetings...
It's no wonder it would take a toll on her and her relationships. Still, seeing Yuko here was a surprise. A brief flash of annoyance on her expression as the phone slammed down, but it was understandable, and so she pushed those feelings aside.

That silence is noted- but Chizuru doesn't pry. There's something going on, that's for sure.
"Perhaps rather than 'mercy', you could try using 'grace'? The Graceful Goddess, or something of the sort. It sounds less... passive."
๐ฏโThatโs another problem. To this day, I havenโt seen miss Patch ever use her full strength, even when she has been hurt to the fullest degree.โ
๐ฅโโฆโ Papal is oddly quiet as soon as Melv brought that up.
"She certainly sounds formidable, as innocent as she seems." Chizuru closed her eyes in thought. "Perhaps rather than 'merciful', we could try a different approach. A name that suggests she needs to be forced to use her full strength?"
๐ฏโThe reason why I chose that is because of her actions in a fight- Iโm unsure if you have seen it yourself however. According to a few fights Iโve seen, she hasnโt even come close to using all of her strength.โ
"A stage name?" Chizuru repeated, a slight tilt of her head. "Ah, yes. Patch would need one of those for her debut. I heard you saying something about the 'Goddess of Mercy'- it does have a nice ring to it, though I'm not sure if such a title would fit a Kengan fighter."
๐ฅโI wonder what Patchโs stage name should beโฆteehee.โ
๐ฏโMistress, would the name โGoddess of mercyโ work for a tournament such as the one she has joined?โ
๐ฅโPossibly, oh @RakuzenCEO ! Weโre working on a stage name for Patch!โ
Relaxed her a little bit, enough for her to smile herself.
โYou almost look like a kid again.โ She teased, with a small laugh. โHow long have you wanted to come here?โ

Tochigi Destinylandโฆ this was a place Chizuru hadnโt been to in a very, very long time. She felt so out of place amongst the children around, dressed up in her casual outfit (which wasnโt really that casual, to be completely honest). +
But it wasnโt like she had anything against the theme park, and it was hard not to feel a little bit hyped up from the atmosphere.
Plus- it was Yukoโs idea to come here, a date to escape from the stresses of business. And seeing her wifeโs excited, beautiful smile +
She had taken a step forward, preparing to attack, but suddenly retreated into a defensive stance- if one could call it that. It looked as though she was just standing in the ring.
Chizuru stared Retsudo down.
Daring him to come get her.
Waiting.
"I should ask you that question. Let's not play games here, Katahara."
Retsudo was no fool- he obviously had a plan. And as much as she wanted to punch him, patience was one of the principles in her fighting style. +
It seemed like he didn't want to fight her head-on, avoiding a direct clash. However a smile appeared on his face while he was retreating.
"Is this all you've got?"
@WormOfTheKings Not necessarily, Xia is just his surname :D While the character for it is also used in feminine given names, it doesn't necessarily have to be.
