As the two girls finished securing their gear, they still found the time to get a few quips in to one another - the latest of which from Nashi made Yukino roll her eyes.
"Is it really an 'accident' when you use an armbar? I guess you were taking after your dad even then..." she added with a chuckle. But she pat Nashi on the back regardless, and she turned toward the door. They both knew they couldn't just stand around and talk. Even if they were here on vacation, they were still here to represent both the Idol Dragons and the WOWW Tag Team Championships! They might not have been on the card at Fight the LAW, but no one could deny they would make their presence in Austria known!
The grin on Yukino's face grew even wider when Nashi passed her her belt, and she nodded excitedly to her as she buckled it around her waist, giving the front plate a pat.
"It's hard not to feel important when you're wearing one of these, huh?" That proved a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy - already, Yukino could see a few camera flashes go off from the fans who were already starting to fill the room, eager to get a sneak peak of the champions. But as eager as she was to wear her championship with pride, it still proved a little overwhelming for Yukino to take in all at once. She should've gotten used to it at this point, already being in the public eye as an idol - but sometimes, she forgot just how famous she really was, and it left her head spinning every time.
"Eep-!" she yelped as a flash went off when she wasn't expecting it.
"Uh, Nashi, are they allowed to do that-?"
Yukino got down in her seat at the desk, straightening out what was laid on the table before her - she had a pen and paper to keep track of things, and a locked box to deposit money in. Nashi, meanwhile, was looking through the photos available - and when she held up the one of herself submitting to Astrid, Yukino chuckled a little nervously.
"Uhh...well, don't take this the wrong way, but I guess it is an iconic moment!" When Nashi turned to a photo of Yukino holding a screaming Nashi's arms in her legs with the Lotus Lock she'd dubbed the Snowpiercer, as seen in
their Apex match, that made Yukino blush even harder - not so much because it was a low point of their career, but by contrast, because it stood as proof of just how much fame and attention she had won. With Yukino used to being as modest as she was, that rush of emotions hit her harder than she'd expected. Just looking at it, the memories of that Apex match - with all its spectacular moves and all the cheers that celebrated each one - came flooding back, reminding Yukino once again of just how much she'd accomplished.
"Well...I guess it's still an Idol Dragon being dominant?"
Soon enough, the autograph signing was underway. Fans were lining up toward their table, and Yukino signed her name on all sorts of merchandise, from posters to T-shirts to even a few of their old magazine covers from their idol days. From the looks of it, they had fans coming from all across the world - a thought that made Yukino smile to think about.
"Did you ever think we'd be doing one of these all the way in Austria, Nashi?"
However, one fan in particular stood out from all the rest.
"NASHI! You made it!"
Now at the head of the line was Sanae Saitou - a fellow idol, a fellow LAW wrestler, and someone who
Nashi had beaten in a Two out of Three Falls match not long ago, earning Sanae's friendship in the process. When the green-haired girl saw her, she leaned across the table, not even hesitating to pull Nashi into a hug.
"It's been too long, huh?"
