Keiko defeated Georgina at T2

You would find Keiko backstage in the priestess's area... although she was still in just her chest-wrap and fundoshi, she didn't seem to mind at all when you entered. Perhaps she was still thinking about Georgina and how effortlessly that girl had shrugged off all embarrassment that would normally be associated with nudity. Either way, it was a pretty good situation for you!

"Ah... Katappashikara-dono... I was just thinking about what a strange thing this tournament is... And after what we've seen... How glad I am that I was paired with such a relatively normal god, with relatively good intentions..." Keiko mused, looking at the blade in her hands pensively.

It was nice to hear her confide in you, you had to admit. You asked what she thought about her opponent this time, Georgina Godstate?

"I think... She's a confusing woman, to be sure. But I'm glad that she was able to find her way in the end. People do need to be free to choose... No matter how benevolent the god that watches over them, as long as he ultimately holds them on a leash, they'll never truly be free..." she spoke thoughtfully, knitting her brow. "In contrast, your lazy way of doing things is much better. The gods should never interfere... Well... I suppose a wise god interfering on behalf of his priestess is not so bad," she finished, giving a small smile that caused your heart to leap in your chest.

Finally, you were a wise god! Not just a lazy one!

"... I can see that went to your head. Your strategy this time was still too reckless," Keiko complained, readopting her usual frown. "We should go over strategies before-hand so that this doesn't happen again."

... The two of you would discuss boring priestess battle strategies until night-time...
