Angela was in awe of the festival. So many people eating, cheering, chatting, and playing music. The occasional firework lighting up the sky, it was a nice sight. Some people even recognized Angela as the champion, despite her looking different. Rather than wear her normal clothes, she went along with the festival and worry a more extravagant attire. A beautiful blue kimono with a flower pattern design on it, with matching footwear. She even had her hair put up in a bun. She blushed a bit from all the attention, if her mother and sister could see her now. Eventually the festival lead up to her and Bakuto being taken to the back of a stage. Minutes later, it was clear for them to come out, a massive crowd sitting in front of them. Apparently they had to give some sort of speech about the experiences and plans for the future, or something like that. Bakuto went up and gave his speech, pretty much just stating that next time he'll be stronger and how honored he was to participate and make it as far as he did. He finished and walked back past her, commenting on the situation. She gave a small sigh. [color=fff79a]"You and me both... I'm not good with speeches..."[/color] She mumbled as she stepped forward. She was quiet for a second, trying to figure out what to say before taking a deep breath. [color=fff79a]"What can I really say? Heh... Well... I guess the first thing I can say is that this was honestly my first major tournament... Well, to be more precise, my first ever real fight... I entered this tournament for an important reason, to help my family, and I'm happy to say that I can finally do just that. This tournament had some strong fighters, really strong. I'm proud to have gotten to face them."[/color] She said, looking around the crowd. [color=fff79a]"And you can bet I'll be here for the next tournament... Whenever that happens."[/color] She added before stepping back. [color=fff79a]"Ugh... My heart is pounding..."[/color] She mumbled to herself. The sound of fireworks caught her attention as a massive showing of fireworks lit up the night sky above the festival. [color=fff79a]"Dang... Sis would love this..."[/color]
