Sigh… "How'd it come to this…?"
Rampage eyes the Chairman's permit for her Holy Hoof Day stream. URA's stunned—Shinzan's actually coming. A legend among legends. They insisted on a grander venue than Tresen's festival, but—
"No way. Your setup's stiff and no fun. I promised to join my friend's stream with TTG. Break that?"
Shinzan shot them down. Classic. URA begged Rampage to negotiate, but she's outmatched. White flag.
Sigh…
Another sigh. Happiness supposedly drains with each one, but she's already drained. No matter. To cope, she considers backup for the chaotic stream. Who'd handle this mess? Tazuna and the Chairman want help, but who?
"Ten-crown's rough… This kinda hassle's unreal."
Even for a ten-crown champ, this is absurd.
"…Got one idea."
She grabs her phone, calling a legend.
"I see… Quite the mess, huh?" "Yeah, rude to ask, but… help?" "Of course, for my little sis! I'll help on the day, don't worry♪" "God, Buddha, Maruzen-neesama, thank you!" "Teehee, call me neesama more!"
Maruzensky, a Japan Cup legend, agrees. A year after TTG, she's perfect for handling them, easing Rampage's load.
"In return, I'm joining the stream♪" "Sure… Shin-san, TTG, now Maruzen-neesan? URA's gonna lose it." "Not that bad, right?" "Brains are already fried."
A legend to manage legends—looping chaos. Maruzensky's milder, but still a legend.
"You okay, Rampage?" Rudolf asks, entering with Ramone and CB. "Look fine to you? I'll pay for your eye exam and full checkup, jerk." "Rough day."
Rudolf, Ramone, CB—Tresen's elite trio (four with her). Rampage, dead-eyed, hammers her laptop.
"What's that?" "Stream prep for the Chairman. URA needs it." "With them coming, no wonder," Ramone says. Sigh… "Ten-crown life's a pain."
Rudolf wants to yell it's just her.
"What's up? I'm busy. Just checking? Scram." "We need permission," Rudolf says. "Permission? Student Council prez, VP, and a Triple Crown want what?"
Her words drip with stress. She's cornered.
"We want to join your stream," Rudolf says. "Whatever. Do what you want. URA's the one freaking out, not me." "Seriously, handling them alone's tough, right?"
They're offering a lifeline. TTG were Student Council; Rudolf says they're unavoidable.
"Why CB?" "Uh, I'm kinda Tresen's… thing, y'know?" "Wild vocab. Fine, join. TV stations'll flip."
Tresen bans TV for safety, making Rampage's stream a rare info source. Legends piling in? Broadcasters are doomed.
"Got content planned?" Ramone asks. "Plan what? Shin-san and TTG—what fits?" "…Tricky," Ramone admits.
Even Ramone's stumped. No fitting plan for this lineup.
"Recounting their records? Shin-san'd hate it. She's anti-formal. Only a talk show fits." "Sounds good enough," CB says. "Why not a live performance?" Rudolf suggests. "Last resort, please…"
No progress. Rampage decides to wing it. Her channel, her burden—or desperation. She's half-tempted to call the grandmas.
"Sis, I'm done… No clue 'til the day comes…" "There, there. Big sis is here~"
Creek comforts a broken Rampage, lending her lap.
"What a mess… Even we can't help. Big eating contest?" CB says. "I'm in," Oguri chimes. "Oguri versus legends sounds fun…" Rampage mumbles. "Sweetie, lean on big sis all you want~♪"
