A Momentous Occasion

Attention all players!

It's your support that has kept Coin Rush going strong.

We have all sorts of new drinks, games, and variétés shows on the slate for you.

To célébrer this occasion mémorable, we will be holding a special event,

which we will be calling Bunny X 777!

This event will be held in one week's time, right here at Coin Rush.

We'll have a variety of games available, and a pléthore of prizes as well, including a spécial prize for the main winner of the event!

What is this oh-so-wonderful prize, you may ask?

We've got something special in store for vouz: a smooch from our very own Rabbit Twins!

What kind of games will be in store?

Who will be the lucky guy or gal who gets to pucker up?

All will be révélé in one week, right here at Coin Rush!

P-Pit Boss!

Pit Boss!

Huh? What was that?

We didn't scare you, did we?

Sorry for barging in like this all of a sudden.

Save the apologies for later.

Pit Boss, do you know about the event that's being unveiled at Coin Rush?

Then you must know what the prize for the ultimate winner will be:

Then I will explain it briefly.

Business has been booming at Coin Rush, and we've experienced something of a revival.

To celebrate this, we're holding an event.

And the prize is...

A kiss from the two of us.

Can you believe that? We're supposed to lock lips with someone we don't even know!

How embarrassing! I don't think I can go through with it.

No, I know I can't.

If you're not going to do it, then I'm definitely not.

But they've already started promoting the event.

The list of contestants is a mile long!

So we were wondering if you'd be able to help us?

Yeah, would you?

I-if you end up being the winner,

I'd be okay kissing you.

O-of course, you don't have to if you're not interested!

Please, there's no way Pit Boss would turn down a free kiss from you.

Anyway, back to the main point.

We need you to participate in the event,

and win!

Straight to the top!

We're not sure ourselves.

They haven't told us anything.

Woohoo! You're the best!

Also, try and have more faith in yourself.

You've got this in the bag.

With two lucky charms like us, how can you lose?

Like two rabbit feet, but supercharged!

Welcome, Highroller.

I'm sorry, but we aren't open quite yet, so I can't let you in.

Oh? Then how may I assist you?

I see.

Registration can be done via our website.

Oh...

I suppose Noir and Blanc came to see you?

A kiss from the two of them...

I've considered changing the prize,

but it's already included in all our promotional materials. It's too late to change it now.

I feel bad for the twins, but my hands are tied.

Huh?

What other option?

Hmm...

That's not a bad idea.

If you win, they won't mind giving you a smooch.

Heck, they might even be into it.

But...

where exactly do I come into all this?

!!

Absolutely not.

I cannot do that. Not even for you.

...

Allow me to demonstrate.

Tell me.

Do you have any way of knowing whether it will be heads or tails?

Precisely. That's how the world operates.

There are some things we have no way of knowing, so we take risks.

It's all dependent on your luck.

That's why I cannot help you out.

No, there is no need to apologize.

...

Then again,

there's nothing wrong with tipping the scales in your favor.

After all, there are often times when our luck skews one way or another.

If you're able to call it correctly,

then I'll give a few pointers about this event and its activities.

If not, then just consider it a run of tough luck, and be on your way.

Call it.

Heads or tails?

...

Seems like you're on a hot streak.

All right, here it is:

First, there's a one-on-one showdown,

followed by a treasure hunt.

Finally, there will be a number-guessing game.

Luck factors heavily in all of these events.

I can't tell you any more than that, so you'll have to depend on your own luck for the rest.

You're welcome.

Best of luck.

See you in one week.

Welcome, Pal.

Would you like a milk coffee?

Ha! Have you got a screw loose?

You must be loony, coming in here and challenging me.

The sheer hubris! The more I think about it, the more my blood's starting to boil.

That's it. The cafe is closed for today.

It's go time!

Oh, hey Noob.

What brings you here?

Are you going on a raid?

!!!

I knew this day would come.

So you want a PvP match with me?

Just a moment.

If I'm going to be battling someone who's the same rank as me, I've got to get my head in the game.

Let's swap out all our weapons and skills, and meet in the lobby.

Morning, Commander.

What are you doing here?

Ask away!

Let me know how I can be of service to you.

The A.C.P.U. exists solely to serve and protect the people.

Did you say treasure?

That's easy enough. All you've gotta do is use your nose.

Well, that's definitely the easiest method by far,

but if you want another way...

You've got to get inside the mind of the person who hid it in the first place.

Take the treasure and picture it as something else, like say, a bomb a criminal hid away somewhere.

In this example, they'd probably stash it in a place where it could inflict the most damage.

So chances are it would be somewhere in the streets downtown, or at the park.

Welcome, Old-Timer!

Are you looking to buy a toy?

Treasure hunts?

I've never done it before, so I'm not sure, but I think I would.

Sure!

But how do we do that?

Don't we need treasure first?

I don't really have any treasure...

Oh, that sounds fun!

I'll turn around so I don't see where you put it.

Let me know when you're done hiding it.

Commander? You're the last person I expected to see.

Considering the fact you came here willingly,

I doubt it has anything to do with your health.

It's written all over your face.

You're fit as a fiddle.

Haha, you think so?

I suppose I do have to keep my wits about me,

dealing with as many patients as I do.

For example...

...

...

Isn't that obvious?

What?

I have to be, considering how much pressure I get all the time from my superiors.

Although I don't exactly think it needed to be pointed out.

Why are you here, anyway?

Excuse me?

First, there's a one-on-one showdown,

followed by a treasure hunt.

Finally, there will be a number guessing game.

Luck factors heavily into all of these events.

I can't tell you any more than that, so you're on your own for the rest.

Me and a can of soda sitting on a tree,

K-I-S-S-I-N-G...

Huh?

Hey, Commander! What's got you so down in the dumps?

You look like someone stole your lunch money.

Luck?

Did you buy a lottery ticket or something?

First things first, you've gotta change that expression, pronto.

Even if luck were to come your way, it'd turn heel and run the instant it saw that frown of yours.

Actually,

that makes me kinda curious.

How exactly can you tell if your luck has improved or not?

Normally, the only way we know when luck is in our favor is when something good happens.

That means that until something good or bad happens, there's no way to tell which way your luck will swing.

For example, today could very well be the luckiest day in your life!

The point I'm trying to make is that

luck itself is abstract.

There are probably weirdoes out there who'd feel super lucky about stepping in dog poop.

Anyway, you get my meaning.

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with you, but why don't we head to Coin Rush?

Didn't you hear?

If you manage to see both Noir and Blanc at the casino, that means you've hit the jackpot!

Coin Rush is so palatial that most people would thank their lucky stars just to catch a glimpse of one of them.

Let alone both of them at the same time.

If that happened, you'd be super duper lucky.

Also, try and have more faith in yourself.

You've got this in the bag.

With two lucky charms like us, how can you lose?

Like two rabbit feet, but supercharged!

Waddya say? You up for a trip to the casino?

Hehe, don't mention it.

But if you end up winning the top prize, I want a cut!

Welcome to Coin Rush.

If there is a particular game you are interested in playing, please have a seat.

One of our gamemasters will come to assist you.

No, no, no! It can't end like this!

Just one more round!

Hey, wait just a minute! Are you cheating?!

If I win this round, a bottle for everyone at this table, on me.

Hey! There they go!

Are they the twins everyone's talking about?

They look different than I thought they would.

What lookers!

Howdy, Lupins!

Can you all hear me okay? This place is noisy to the max.

We decided to stop by Coin Rush for their special event.

Apparently they've got all sorts of new games on offer.

We're gonna scope it out and see what's the latest and greatest.

Today I'm wearing something modeled after Coin Rush's very own mascots, the bunny girls.

What do you think, everyone? Did I pull it off?

Oh, right!

We have a special guest with us today.

Tah-dah!

Hey there, everyone. Nice to meet you.

I'm Viper, Rupee's friend.

We're both gonna

be checking out Coin Rush today.

Sweetie!

Small world!

Hey, Honey.

What a pleasant surprise.

Rupee has been giving me some good deals on merchandise.

It turns out we had both made plans separately to come here tonight,

so we decided to come together. I even put on something special for the livestream.

What do you think? Don't go falling for me, now.

Thanks! But this outfit isn't the most comfortable in the world.

It's skin-tight, especially in this area.

I can't imagine how Blanc and Noir put up with it as often as they do.

By the way, what brings you here?

Come to try your luck?

Then you're in luck, since you've already seen us, hehe.

That's right, and these two bunnies are on view for tonight only. Hehe!

Anyways, we should take a look around so we can show all the Lupins as much as we can.

We better get going before even more people come.

Have fun, Sweetie!

Best of luck, Honey.

By the way, I believe I saw Rouge at the table behind you.

If you're looking for Noir and Blanc, I bet asking her would be the fastest way to find them.

Talk to you later.

Hello, Highroller.

We still have one spot open. Have a seat.

If your expression is any indication,

you haven't come here to gamble.

If you want to see them so badly, why don't you call them over?

What's the use in coming all the way over here?

... Ah!

I get it now.

Then you chose the right time.

They're putting on a performance today.

It will be starting in 10 minutes. Before then, would you like to enjoy a quick game?

Very good.

Allow me to quickly go over the rules.

Pick a card,

but don't look at it.

Instead, raise it to your forehead

so that I can see it.

You will then be able to ask me three questions.

I cannot lie, and must answer truthfully.

You could ask about, for example, the color of the card.

In turn, I will respond truthfully.

Once your three questions are up, you must guess what card you are holding.

However, be aware that you must also guess the suit.

Shall we begin?

Ask your first question.

Yes.

No, it is higher than 6.

Your second question?

Yes, it is.

Yes.

You've got one more question.

Think carefully before you ask.

Yes.

Your confidence is admirable.

I'm afraid that was your last question.

Now, if you will, what is your answer?

*Bzzzzt*

I'm sorry, but the correct answer is a jack of clubs.

Better luck next time.

You got the right answer!

That was an impressive process of elimination.

How'd you like the game?

At any rate, it killed a bit of time.

I think the performance is about to begin.

In that case, how about we chat for a bit?

Of course. Chewing the fat with the players is part of my job as well.

Let me guess, you came because of the rumors, right?

If you catch a glimpse of Blanc or Noir while they're inside Coin Rush, your luck is bound to turn.

You're an odd duck, you know that?

You're extremely exacting in many ways,

yet you still believe in these silly superstitions.

To be honest, you kind of sound like me.

Of course I do.

Every morning, I flip a coin to determine if my luck is going to be good or bad that day.

If it's heads, it'll be a lucky day.

If it's tails, not so much.

On the days when I end up getting tails, I make sure to stick close to Blanc and Noir.

They're my good luck charms.

On the flip side, whenever I see heads, what euphoria!

I feel like everything is gonna go my way.

Oh!

The show is about to start.

Hello, everybody!

It's showtime, with your favorite twin rabbits!

Take all the luck you can get!

T-take all the luck you can get...!

Blanc, those sweet lips of yours are gonna be mine tomorrow!

Noir, you're so beautiful! I can't wait for tomorrow!

...

... A bunch of fools, the lot of you.

What'd you think?

Isn't it?

It's a big hit with all our guests.

If you ask me, the fact they can bring so much happiness to such a large crowd proves how much power they have.

Which reminds me...

since you came all the way here, you should make an appearance.

I'm sure Blanc and Noir will be happy to see you.

I'll show you to the waiting room.

Wait right here in front of the door. It'll be just a moment.

They usually change after each performance.

I'll check to see if they're all done.

Ow! Blanc!

Stop poking me! What's gotten into you?

What can I say? I like doing it.

Hehe, so much fun!

Then I'll poke you right back!

Oh boy...

here we go again.

Just a moment.

You can come in now.

Huh?

Pit Boss!

Pit Boss?

You were in the crowd?

I wish I'd known!

I would have put some more effort into it.

I can't believe you saw me dance...

How embarrassing.

I screwed up one of the movements halfway through.

What are you doing here at Coin Rush, anyway?

I doubt you came here just to see the show.

Did you come to do some gambling?

Ah-hah!

You must be here for the special event.

Yes, that must be it!

Whoa!

Pit Boss...

Pit Boss...

We're so touched!

As a token of our gratitude, we'll give your luck a supercharge!

We'd like to apologize as well.

We asked you for a favor, without promising anything in return.

The least we can do is give you a little support.

So... luck supercharge, activate!

How does that feel? Feeling lucky yet?

Did it work?

Perfect!

J-just to be safe though, in case you need more,

we'll hold your hand and walk you back to the Commander's Room.

If you're okay with it, that is.

Wow, that's a great idea, sis!

Really?

Hmm... are you going back to the Commander's Room now?

Then we'll walk you back, and you can hold both our hands.

We'll keep giving you a charge on the way.

Good idea, Blanc!

Bienvenue, everyone!

I am Mustang, the CEO of Tetra.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the turnout we have today.

Now that everyone is here, we'll get things underway.

First things first, I will expliquer the règles.

We have a total of three games préparés today.

The first person to win all trois games will be the recipient of a kiss from our two lucky ladies.

So give it your all, mesdames et messieurs!

Woohoo!

Next, I will introduce the first game.

Blanc, if you could come here, s'il vous plaît.

Okay!

Hello, everyone.

For the first game, the opponent everyone will be going up against will be me, Blanc.

Yahoooooooo!

Blanc, have my babies!

Haha, thank you everyone!

The first game we will be playing is...

Rock paper scissors!

That's it? I thought it'd be something a bit more multifaceted.

If you ask me, this is perfect. You don't need to use your head too much.

Everyone will, in unison, go up against me in two rounds of rock paper scissors.

Only those who win twice in a row may progress to the next stage.

Only two times? That's easy.

So we're disqualified even if we tie? Brutal...

It may be a simple game, but don't make the mistake of thinking it's easy.

Rock paper scissors requires both skill and luck.

In a moment, I'll be demonstrating to you all why luck is my middle name.

Everyone seems raring to go,

so let's begin.

Everyone, lift your hands in the air.

Rock...

Paper...

Scissors... shoot!

Whahahaaaaaa!!!

Noooooooooooo!

For those who are disqualified, I'm sorry, but I'll have to ask you to move to the back corner.

Ahem...

There's no way they'll notice if I don't leave, not with all these people.

...

Blanc!

Yes?

That man over there, over on the other end, he lost but is refusing to leave.

Understood.

Excuse me, sir. Yes, you. The one in the front.

*Gulp*

A-are you talking to me?

I'm sorry, but cheating is strictly forbidden in today's festivities.

I'll be keeping a close eye on you all,

so, if you will, be honest and go with the rest of those who have been disqualified.

Okay, sure thing!

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I almost missed it.

You're welcome.

Hehe.

Now, onto round two.

Rock...

Paper...

Scissors... shoot!

Ughhhh..!

Once again, those who lost this round, please back up.

Blanc, that person over there seems suspicious.

Huh? Who?

Pit Boss?

Yeah!

No, I had my eyes on them. They won fair and square.

Oh...

Erm, sorry. My mistake.

It's all right.

Anyway, did you win this second round?

Ye-yes, I did. Why?

Oh, nothing. It's just that I didn't get a proper look at you during the round.

At any rate, I can't imagine someone who reported others for cheating would themselves be a cheater.

Congratulations.

... Thank you.

Well, then!

For the first game, we have a total of...

9 winners!

Jeez, nearly everybody lost.

Oh my...

I told you all that luck is on my side.

The same goes especially for the lucky few who managed to beat me. Fame and fortune surely await you all!

I'll be cheering you all on!

...

Congratulations once again to our 9 participants!

Just FYI, whenever I play rock, paper, scissors with Blanc, I can never win more than once.

You're a lucky bunch, that much is certain.

Anyway, without further ado, let's move onto the next game.

Noir, if you would?

Y-yes!

Hello, everyone.

Beating Blanc in rock, paper, scissors is no mean feat.

Having said that, allow me to introduce the second game.

There is one thing in my life that I treasure above all else.

In this area, there are several hidden items that are related to this "treasure" of mine.

The first two who figure out what the actual treasure is and bring it to me, win.

Be forewarned: If you bring me the wrong item, then you will be disqualified immediately.

So only two participants will be progressing to the finale...

I've gotta get my hands on that treasure so I can get a smooch from Noir!

...

Is everyone ready?

On your marks...

Get set...

Go!

Time to haul ass!

I'm going this way!

???

Pit Boss?

What are you doing?

What?

...!

!!

Pit Boss!

You're the first to come.

... and you've guessed correctly.

Noir...

Blanc!

Huh? Me?

Blanc?

Of course I like Blanc!

How could I not? Her pulchritude is unmatched.

The sight of her cascading white hair flowing while she grinds on the pole is sublime beyond all measure...

Huh? Where's this coming from?

Ah!

I see.

I'll help you, but you've got to promise me that you'll win!

And please...

let me know what it's like to kiss her luscious lips.

Ah...!

Pit Boss!

You are the first to come.

And you have a picture of my treasure.

This picture came out so nice. May I have it?

Yes, of course.

... Thank you.

I'm rooting for you!

... Noir.

Yes?

I brought it.

What you treasure the most.

You got it! Well done.

This is a doll that strongly resembles Blanc.

But...

Is there something wrong?

No, it's just...

Well...

It's just that this doll looks exactly like the one I used to have.

I always treasured it because it looked so much like Blanc.

I misplaced it a couple days ago, and it's been tearing me up inside ever since.

Y-you don't say?

Guess I happened to find one that looks just like it.

...!

No.

It's even got the same rips on the seams.

This is my doll.

Erm...

Well, either way, the rule was to bring something that you treasured, wasn't it?

It just so happens that I stumbled across this.

That's true, but...

Come on, you're spoiling the event.

Everyone's waiting for us to move on.

Erm...

V-very well.

These two will be the final participants in the last game.

Congratulations...

... Thank you.

No! I was too late!

Argh! So close!

...

And with that, the second game has come to a close. C'est terminé.

Félicitations to you both!

Since you have reached the final stage, I would like to conduct an interview with you both.

For our first participant, I'd like to ask:

How does it feel making it this far?

Confident, I like that!

Très humble. C'est bon!

Such arrogance. Most unbecoming.

Well, we're all looking forward to seeing how you perform in the finale.

Onto our next participant.

How are you feeling?

...

Hoho, un homme of few words, I see.

Very well, then do you have anything to say to your opponent?

Let's get one thing straight.

You will never beat me. Ever.

My my, we seem to have some smack talk going on!

And with that, let us move onto the final stage.

Now, I present to you, le moment you've all been waiting for!

La grande finale!

Rouge, if you would, s'il vous plaît.

Yes.

The last game is one on one.

I will only be here to provide commentary.

Please listen, and I'll explain the rules.

In front of your seats, you'll see a machine.

This game is called Lucky 21.

The 21 in the name refers to adding the three lucky numbers 777 together.

Once you press START, it will start cycling through the numbers 1 to 10.

When you press STOP, it will stop on a number.

You can press the button up to three times per round, and the player who reaches a sum closest to 21 is the winner.

If your total comes out to 21 exactly, you win automatically. If you go above 21, you lose.

There will be a total of three rounds, with an extra round in the event of a tie.

Do you understand?

Try and make the numbers add up as close to 21 as possible.

Just be sure not to go over 21.

Good.

This is a game that requires skill, attention, and luck.

I can't do anything to tip the scales in your favor, but

I'll be rooting for you in my mind.

I hope you win.

Now!

Let's begin the game.

Are you both ready?

Yes.

Let the first round begin.

Both of you, please press the START button.

Whenever you feel the time is right, press the STOP button.

Contestant No. 1 has 10, and Contestant No. 2 has 8.

Would you like to continue pressing the button?

Yes, I would.

Very well, then both of you, go ahead and press the button.

Contestant No. 1 has 8, and Contestant No.2 has 6.

The total score is 18:14.

Would either of you like to press the button one last time?

Yes.

Very well.

Both of you, please press the button for the last time.

Contestant No. 1 has decided to forego his final button press, leaving him with a total of 18.

Contestant No. 2, please press the button for the third and final time.

...!

Congratulations.

Contestant No. 2 has 21, making him the winner of the first round.

Moving right along, we'll proceed to the second round.

Gentlemen, press your buttons.

10 for Contestant No. 1, and 9 for Contestant No. 2.

5 for Contestant No. 1, and 5 as well for Contestant No. 2.

Total score is 15:14

Will you press the button a third time?

Yes.

Very well.

Both of you, please press the button for the last time.

Tsk...!

6 for Contestant No. 1, and another 6 for Contestant No. 2.

That gives Contestant No. 1 a total of 21, securing him as the winner for the second round.

Moving onto the last round...

What's the matter?

What? What are you getting at?

Are you insinuating something?

Hmmm...

It is rather unusual.

I'm sorry, but just to be safe, can you please take your hands out of your pocket?

And if you would, remove all the contents as well.

What is this? This is absurd.

So I keep my hands in my pockets, so what? I always do that!

That's no reason to treat me like a criminal.

We're merely doing this as a precaution to ensure a level playing field.

Take your hands out of your pocket and remove the contents.

*Sigh*

I-I was so nervous and...

when I hold this doll, it calms me down.

...

From the outside, I don't see anything wrong with it, but...

if Commander wishes to,

we can stop the game and examine it further.

What?!

...

...

Oh, you will, will you?

Okay, let's do this!

We will soon be starting the final round.

Gentlemen, please press your buttons.

Contestant No. 1 has 7, and Contestant No. 2 has 4.

...

Press your buttons again.

Contestant No. 1 has 7, and Contestant No. 2 has 1.

Total score of 14:5.

Damnit!

Would either of you like to press the button one last time?

Of course!!

Also, try and have more faith in yourself.

You've got this in the bag.

With two lucky charms like us, how can you lose?

Like two rabbit feet, but supercharged!

Ha! You've got guts, I'll give you that.

Let's see how this pans out.

All right gentlemen,

press your buttons for the third and final time.

...

...

!!!

Th-this is impossible!!

!!

Contestant No. 1 has 7, and Contestant No. 2 has 2.

Contestant No. 1 has gotten the lucky 777, for a total of 21!

The final victory goes to Commander, winning 2:1.

I can't believe it!

It's magnificent!

Sacre bleu!

I can't believe I saw the lucky 777 with my very own eyes!

Congratulations are in order!

Wait!!!

This doesn't make any sense.

How could you possibly have gotten 7 three times in a row?!

You cheated!

They would never do something like that!

You're out of line. If anyone cheated, it's you.

Wha... why are you taking his side?

This has all been a setup from the very beginning!

Yes, that's it! You all arranged it so that he'd win!

I call foul! This entire competition is forfeit!

What are you doing?!

Why?

Why does it always have to end this way?!

What...?

?!?!

What is this?

I should have known!

You were the cheater all along.

Curse you all!

Trying to cheat in Coin Rush? You must have some kind of death wish.

How did you make this thing?

Why should I tell you?

How cooperative you are, or aren't, from here on out

will determine how severe your punishment is.

So I suggest you spill the beans.

I heard that Coin Rush's grand reopening was going to include a new game called Lucky 21.

I figured they'd be incorporating that game into their promotional events,

so that's what I prepared for.

I wasn't even sure if Lucky 21 was even going to be a part of this event.

That's what I'd like to know. Security here is beyond tight. You couldn't have just waltzed in carrying contraband.

We check everyone's belongings at the doors.

That was simple enough.

I made it inside Coin Rush.

Inside the building? But how?

I'm pretty handy with circuitry.

Every day, I would sneak in small amounts of material inside the building.

Stuff that wouldn't get flagged during the inspection.

Once I snuck past security, all I had to do was find a place to hide the stuff.

Lo and behold, I stumbled across that adorable little doll.

My doll...!

I tore it open and made some alterations.

I created a remote that could send a disruptor signal to the machines.

Then I hid that doll inside the casino, where no one else could find it.

That way, I could enter the building without any problems.

How could I have?

That's why I was freaking out.

How could I possibly rig rock paper scissors?

Now I understand.

You weren't able to fix the game, so you kept talking to me to divert my attention.

Then you played it off as if you'd won.

But what about my game?

How did you know the bunny doll was one of the items I'd accept?

I didn't! It was just a coincidence!

It just so happened that doll was what I'd used to stuff the remote control in.

The jig was nearly up when it turned out to be Noir's beloved doll.

You're asking me?!

Isn't it obvious?

I get to swap spit with these two hotties!

All of this subterfuge, all of these underhanded tricks, just for that?

You even tore up my doll!

I'll never forgive you for that!

It may not seem like much to you,

but that's only because everyone adores you.

You couldn't possibly understand how unlucky I am.

This world has discarded me.

Ever since I was born, my entire life has been nothing but a series of disasters.

Even now, I've failed yet again.

I got caught in the end.

...!

...

For you though, luck pervades every facet of your entire life.

I know it sounds crazy, but I thought if I got a kiss from you two, my luck might change. That's why I came all the way here.

I see now that it was all a waste of time.

What?

That was a fluke, not luck.

I'm telling you, that's just a flu--

It's not a fluke!

That's a textbook example of luck.

You've been misattributing moments of luck as mere flukes.

You've deluded yourself into thinking that you're unlucky.

B-but...

If I were so lucky, there's no way my life would be in such shambles.

Hmm...

How about this?

We'll give your luck a little top-up.

From zero to hero!

So there, you're no longer unlucky.

From now on, all of these supposed "flukes" can be considered pure, unadulterated luck.

...!!!!

I... I...

am very lucky.

It's not often that we give people's luck a boost like this.

Today's your lucky day.

...

I'm sorry... for ruining everything...

Ah, c'est bon. It's all right.

All's well that ends well.

However, I'm afraid we cannot let you off completely, given how you've tainted Coin Rush's réputation so.

You will need to pay for your actions.

Yes, of course...

However.

You managed to fabriquer a remote control using tiny spare parts?

Incroyable!

After you have paid for your crimes, we would love to hire you as our electrical engineer here at Coin Rush.

... Come again?

Unless you're entertaining other offers, and would préfériez to decline...

N-no!

I'll do it!

I'll work hard, I promise!

Thank you... Thank you...

Très bien. I'd also like to extend a sincères apology to the contestants for this most ignominious conclusion to our event.

You may leave this little scoundrel to me.

We will also be giving a gratuit gift to all those who participated.

Having said all that, the final winner is--

Commander!

Congratulations!!

Woohoo!

Rouge, if you could please conduct the awards cérémonie on my behalf.

I have some affaires urgentes to attend to.

Yes, sir.

First of all, I'd like to apologize once again to all the participants.

We will be stepping up all of our security protocols

and conducting more thorough searches of all belongings coming and going.

Moving on from that, may the final winner, Commander,

please come center stage.

Thank you so much, Pit Boss.

We couldn't have solved this problem without you.

Naturally, since you've got us in your corner.

However, you made your own luck today.

Exactly.

Thanks to you, we don't have to kiss a stranger that we don't know from Adam.

That other man seems to have a new lease of life too.

It's all thanks to you putting your best foot forward.

So, thank you.

Congratulations on your victory.

Congrats!

Here's your prize!

Ugh, so embarrassing...

Yaaahoooo!!

At least it wasn't a full-on kiss...

Who cares?! I'm still jealous!

And with that, ladies and gentlemen,

the Bunny X 777 event has come to a close.

We hope to see you again here at Coin Rush.

Woooooooo!

Right back at you.

Yeah.

I suppose so.

Before we go though,

can we...

give you another present?

Yes, something special.

A kiss from both of us.

That was just a prize for the contest winner.

This is a gift from the heart.

A real, honest-to-goodness kiss!

Are you not interested?

If you're not,

feel free to decline.

Noir is right, but I won't lie:

I would be a little upset if you turn us down.

Yippee!

Let's all get a little closer then.

Actually, I'm feeling a bit nervous.

Feels like my heart is going to leap out of my chest...

Can I hold your hand?

... Thank you.

Noir, you go first.

I'll go second.

No way!

I'm not ready yet...

You go first.

I don't know the first thing about kissing.

How does it work, exactly?

Wait, I've got it!

Pit Boss, you can go first.

Yeah, you start.

!!!

!!!

!!!

!!!

Your luck is definitely charged to 100% now!

Ha...

Honey, I heard about what happened at the Coin Rush event.

How awful!

At least you won in the end.

Too true.

Now that I think of it, wasn't the top prize a kiss from Noir and Blanc?

In that case, it might have been better to lose.

Why the long face?

We don't know the details, but

Mustang seems to be cooking up a new event.

Apparently the last event was a major success.

Coin Rush really made bank.

Hello, Pit Boss!

Hey!

What do you think, Sweetie?

Can you catch four rabbits?

Think you've got it in you? If you can, there's plenty of luck in it for you.

You'll have more luck than you can handle!
