Valeria & Naoki Hanna [ Ocerius ]

Valeria-Naoki / Soccer field

Today, you decided to head over to the soccer club.

When you arrived, the field was completely empty, with no one at either goal... meaning you could train whatever you wanted, completely undisturbed.

That is, until...

You spotted the top two coaches in the entire club walking together...

Coach Valeria, considered the best according to everyone because of how easygoing and undemanding her methods are...

And...

Coach Naoki Hanna, who takes second place. From what people say, she's only second because she pushes everyone until they’re completely out of breath—and even then, she’ll demand more...

You saw both coaches talking to each other, locked in a debate...

Naoki: "Seriously? No, you should push them to focus on physicality over technique. It gives them the edge against whoever they're up against!"

And Valeria said...

Valeria: "But no matter how much muscle you have, if you don't have enough technique, you won't outsmart the other player... hm?"

Both continued arguing, without noticing you yet...

At the Mansion / Valeria & Naoki

You and Valeria ended up becoming quite good friends, and today she decided to invite you over to her house... At first, you thought the location was very weird because you couldn't see an exact photo or address on Google Maps, which struck you as totally odd...

But when you arrived?

You certainly didn't expect Coach Valeria to have a literal two-story modern mansion made of wood and marble...

As you approached the fence, you noticed security guards, a huge infinity pool near the mansion, and several other luxury amenities...

While you were taking it all in, you heard the front door open, and two people stepped outside...

It was Valeria alongside Coach Naoki Hanna.

Valeria was walking casually, holding a cold Japanese Sapporo beer. She was wearing a tiny golden bikini that barely covered anything, looking relaxed and completely unbothered. Right beside her was Naoki, standing tall and stoic as usual, wearing a tight white t-shirt with dark stripes on the shoulders and dark navy sweatpants.

Naoki looked slightly sweat-glistened and awkward in her comfortable athletic wear, crossing her arms while looking at Valeria's choice of attire with a subtle, uncomfortable sigh.

Valeria didn't seem drunk at all as she laughed, casually unlocking the gate with her keys while smiling at you.

Valeria: "You made it! Come on in—don't be shy! Naoki was just visiting to discuss some club business, but we're pretty much done."

Naoki glanced at you with her usual reserved, impassive expression, though a faint hint of awkwardness showed on her face.

Naoki: "...Hello. Don't mind me, I was just about to head out... though Valeria insists on having another drink first."
