During our flight to Japan with The League's another private jet, I was discussing with Bushido. Ken initiated the talk, "What now? What do we do to expose her? She's famous, not infamous. It'll be hard to do it too as we're the ones who did all these... things".

"I'm gonna inform Hina about this, see her reaction." I then gave Hina a call.

"Hey, Hina, how you doing?" I greeted. "I'm fine, what's up?" She replied. "So, remember that rally incident, tire swap, and my oil leak? It's all Chisato's doing, she wants us to split." I explained.

Hina went silent for a bit before replying, "Pfft, are you high or somethin'? Chisato wouldn't possibly do somethin' like that, she even helped us!"

I knew her reaction is going to be like that.

"Joseph. I gotta go doin' some rehearsal bye-" huuuuuuuuuung.....

"Good Lord," I sighed.

Great thoughts suddenly came into my mind.

"Mates, I have an idea".

"What is it, Joseph?" Shizaki asked me to elaborate, so I did it, "Let's do the Super Promotion races in Japan".

"Whoa!" "What?" "Seriously?" Bushido wasn't really happy about it.

"Let me explain. We're currently disguising, right? Names and face and stuff. Look, Ken now looks like a 40 year old," I pointed at him, then continued, "Now, we just need to change our crew name, then register, dominate until the final, then boom! Pastel*Palletes will sure show at the peak of the event. I've asked Eve".

"We have to make a new crew name and build our reputation by winning the races, and then we can take a shot at the final port event!" I recounted.

"I mean come on, Man, we're already been through enough struggle, and aren't our names off the record now? It won't be a problem." Shizaki countered.

"But people around will recognize us, the news said we're already under arrest, so we have to go undercover." I said.

"Hmm, i suppose you do have a good point, so what's our disguise names and new crew name?" He continued.

"I hope our disguise names aren't anything too weird." Eirine muttered.

"Simple," Hana joined. Rare condition. "Name it Warrior's Path. Same meaning as Bushido, roughly".

"For a crew name, it's slightly too long isn't it? What about the 6speeds?" I gave a pretty dumb suggestion.

"I prefer Warrior's Path, actually," Eirine synchronized with Hana.

"Hana's idea is better, Jojo. I think," Ken merged in too.

After Shizaki listened to all his members' opinions, he declared casually, "Okay. It looks like 4 out or 5 agree with "Warrior's Path" as a temporary crew name. For now until certain point of time, we're Warrior's Path!"

"Well, since y'all are going with it i guess I'm going with it too." I joined in. "But what about our names? Our epithets?" I added.

"Should we use names, like full on fake names or should we just use nicknames, like Ace, Blitz, or, Jojo, i guess." I continued.

Hana's stiff hand handed a paper written in extremely readable Japanese, "I've write them. If you like".
