Just then, footsteps echoed through the empty corridor.
Everyone turned to see a tall, fair-skinned beauty with short hair approaching.
She had large eyes and wore an all-white outfit, with striped accents at her cuffs and waist. The ends of her elegant coat flared out in nearly parallel lines.
"So you're the Brother Chen that Yuko keeps talking about. I never imagined you were the League's youngest Intermediate Breeder. My apologies for not realizing."

"If you don't mind, I'd be honored to have a meal with all of you."
Diantha smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we're traveling together."
"Sorry for the trouble. Yuko is rather introverted, so please be patient with her."
