I'm Gonna Be Number One

Werebeast Village

You

...What are you two doing? Why are you both on your backs like that?

Beni

Rufo... Master's here... get up...

Rufo

Cannot... I don't even want to lift a finger...

You

Did something happen?

Beni

I'm so bored that I can't stand it, Master...

Rufo

Without our Captain, nothing's fun anymore...

Captain sets the stage, I use my intellect, and Beni...

Well, anyway... The Chow Rebels only work with the three of us together!

Without Captain, the Chow Rebels are finished...! Urgh...

You

Where did Tig go, then?

Beni

A few days ago, she went to do some closed-door training and told us not to go looking for her.

Rufo

Ever since she started training, we haven't been able to catch a glimpse of her...

You

Really...?

No wonder it's seemed quiet for a while... Tig's been away...

Rufo

This works out perfectly!

You

Wh-What?

Rufo

Master, you should go to the training grounds and drag her out!

Beni

Please, Master, we're begging you...!

*Teary-eyed stare*

You

D-Don't look at me like that!! You're basically giving me no choice!

Inside Werebeast Forest

You

*Sigh* They practically forced me here with all their begging...

???

Heeya! Haaa! Heeeya! Ha!

You

That sounds like her. Seems I'm in the right place.

Tig!

Tig

I told you not to come looking for me—oh, Master?

How did you find me?

You

Ah, the thing is... Well, I was passing by and heard someone shouting, so I came to check if it was you.

What were you up to?

Tig

As you can see, I'm honing my swordsmanship.

Soon enough, I'm gonna crush Diana with my strength and become the top werebeast! Haha!

You

What? You're going to crush Diana?

Tig

Yeah! Here, can't you see this?!

Tig excitedly points above her head, where an image of Diana stands politely with her hands folded.

You

Th-That's...!

Diana? Acting respectfully toward Tig?

That's got to be Tig's Yearning. There's no other explanation.

Tig

You see it too, don't you, Master? I knew it!

You know what this is? This is what's in store for the Chief!

Rufo always says, if you wish for something hard enough, it'll come true.

That's why I went around shouting it at the top of my lungs!

You

What've you been shouting?

Tig

"I'm gonna be the top werebeast!"

And one day, this thing just shows up!

I ran straight to the Chief to show her...

But no matter how much I shoved it in her face, she said she couldn't see it.

I knew she was just putting on a show because she was too proud to admit it.

You

Um... That's probably not it...

Tig

Yeah... I'm sure she just couldn't accept this soon-to-be version of herself.

You

Her head's really far up in the clouds, isn't it...?

Umm, listen, Tig...

Tig

Ugh, you've really eaten into my training time, Master! This is why I didn't want anyone to come looking for me!

Stop getting in the way and get out of here!

Come looking for me again, and I'll show you what the next top werebeast is capable of before the Chief even gets her turn!

*Click, clack*

On the way back after my exchange with Tig...

Tig's shouts echo behind me.

I just hope she doesn't take it too hard later...
