Now, Giulia La Rocca knew that there were some hot and spicy matches taking place in LAW, but
this hadn't been exactly something that she could have still envisioned beforehand. An Ironman Sauna match? What was this, some kind of freak show? Or a porn movie? Well, OK, there were plenty of things in LAW that fit both of those categories... But still! Surely this wasn't something that she had signed herself up for? Could they really just force her to fight in this type of match?
Well OK, they were saying that the wrestlers weren't supposed to be naked though. So that part was fine. And the main problem that Giulia had with the whole thing was actually the fact that it was likely going to be hot as... Well, in a sauna. And she wasn't really sure how she was going to be coping with that... But on the other hand, her opponent was going to be dealing with the same thing.
And also, from what she had heard, he seemed to be a rookie one as well. So, with any luck, maybe he was going to be just a hapless newcomer, easily succumbing to anything that Giulia might be having in store for him... Letting the Italian to simply enjoy the heat.
Arriving at the entrance of the sauna, La Forza Italiana could see an unusual sight... A referee, an opponent, and an interviewer waiting for her! "
Mamma mia..." the Italian thought to herself, somewhat annoyed by all the seemingly match-specific commotion beforehand. This was certainly the first time that she was going to be interviewed while wearing a bikini...
"
Ciao." the Italian simply said in a bothered tone, taking a look at Daichi from head to toe. First of all, his attire certainly seemed appropriate for sauna as well... And while he was, unsurprisingly, taller than her, and he did look rather fit, he did not appear overly big or strong, and with any luck, Giulia could have actually held a weight advantage over him granted by her thick and muscular body.
But first, there were apparently some PR duties to fulfill.
"
Well, ciao, Giulia! How do you feel about this match?"
"
Ahh... Nooo, well, I'm ready to beat up this guy anywhere, so..."
"
Oh, so you're confident about your chances then?"
"
Of course!" the Italian replied with an annoyed look at the interviewer. "
He doesn't stand a chance!"
"
Not even in a sauna?"
"
Eeeey, especially not in a sauna! I mean, I thought you were supposed to be naked in a sauna... But I guess they made me wear a bikini for his sake!" she added, glancing at Daichi with a mocking look.
"
So the heat is not an issue?"
"
Well of course it is... It is going to make it very hard for him..." she then added, raising her eyebrows at Daichi with her words.
Finally, the interview seemed to be ending, and the contestants were about to get into the heated room. But before that, Giulia grabbed the referee for a clarification. "
So wait... What even are the rules of this match then?"
