“Go to sleep, Michiko, we have to get up early. Our talk is at ten o’clock. I left a note for Daisuke to make sure we were up by eight.” 21
The room was crowded the next morning when we walked in. We were introduced by the man who had met us at the airport.
“I’m not sure if you’ve observed the interaction between these two extraordinary women this weekend, but I did, and I’ve been amazed. At the opening banquet, Michiko stood behind her Mistress and waited patiently for orders. She only sat down on the floor when Yuriko told her to and gave her a plate of food to eat. In addition, I’m sure you all saw them onstage last night. The energy between them was extremely sharp, and everything they tried was phenomenal. I complimented Michiko after the demo and all she said was “I do it for my Mistress.” Wow, that’s dedication. Now, I’d like to introduce Mistress Yuriko and slave Michiko.”
There was applause and Yuriko started speaking.
