Kenji and his team were listening to what Nanami had to say.
Nanami: Mom asked if we could do her a favor, the company she work's at found out she's your mom, so they said they'll give her a promotion if we wear the company logo for one match.
Kenji: Is it okay with you guys?
Rafael: Sure, as long as the board is cool with it.
Aoi walked into the room handing Nanami some envelopes.
Aoi: This came for you ma'am.
Nanami: Thank you.
She goes through them.
Nanami: This is for you.
