"Well, I guess I should be honest with myself. Maybe I should

Have paid more attention. In the end, I fear the Mystic Carrot Bowl was definitely rigged from the very beginning. And,

Yet, at this point, I just don't care anymore. I feel like I probably should, but I just

Don't. Maybe I should have considered this from the beginning to start with. Everyone warned me. I guess I should have taken this into account. But, it's too late now.

Or, is it? Maybe it's not actually too late. I know

I can still back out, there's still a chance, but I also don't think think I should do that. That's definitely want the godbuns want out of me! I can just feel it. I know, that's what they expect.

For me to pull out during the first round. I

Especially won't be doing that! Not even if that's what they

Expect me to do!

Look, I could end this right now, and then maybe things would turn out fine. I wouldn't get my redo, but, oh well. I'll find another way to get a redo on my divine naming ceremony! It's not

Like there aren't other ways! I'm sure there's other ways

I could let it happen! Maybe I just have to wait a year after my naming ceremony and it'll be redone! Well, I guess that could be an outcome, but I guess I

Keep thinking things that simply aren't true and have so for awhile now.

Eh, I'm sure there's other options, but

Maybe, in the end, I should just fight until the very end.

Yes, why think about dropping out now? It's already too

Late to back down! I know I have what it takes! I

Am going to win this whole thing! Now, I'm starting to wonder, who's going to be the finalist? Maybe I

Should ask Zhulong and Niquel who

They think it might be.

Or, not? Maybe I'm better of just finding out myself.

Probably. To be honest, it would be a shame for the surprise to be ruined, I guess. I'm

Pretty sure one of the godbuns entered and is pretending me be a mortal!

Okay, no, I already know that's

Not the case here! Or, it is? Maybe it could be? No!

Even I know that's ridiculous! There's absolutely

No way that's the case, and I know

That it'll never be. I'm pretty sure the godbuns are forbidden from entering the

Mystic Carrot Bowl! Not like

I know much about it, but still! I doubt the

Godbuns would throw themselves into the ring! So,

Hmm, who else could have entered,

Then? Now, that, I don't know. I feel like one of those contestants looked

Eerily familiar. Or, maybe

Not? To be honest, I

Don't know. Most of the people I fought were buns I met previously, all except Agitated Rat, of course. And,

Uh, to be

Perfectly honest here, maybe it's

Better that way. I'm not saying that I would have been worse off if I had fought complete strangers, but

Eh. I don't know how much worse I would have fared either way.

I guess things turned out this way entirely on purpose.

Now I wonder if all the other matches were rigged, too. I

Guess that's also possible, too. But, I'm

Starting to think about last year's match also. Agitated Rat, what did she wish for?

One thing's for certain, it

Might not have been for a redo. Or, maybe it

Ended up being for a redo? What if the wish prize at the end is nothing but a farce.

Oh, no, oh, no, what if it is all just a farce?!

No, no, happy thoughts, Siorc, happy thoughts! That definitely won't

End up being the case here! I'm sure it won't be! Come on, it'll be

Fine! This is the last match!

And, whoever it ends up being, things

Might end up being interesting!

I'll win this, and I'll get to be Farmer Bunny! And, I'll have my job ceremony redone!

Let's do this,

I know I have what it takes to finally win!

And, everyone will witness my

Renaming ceremony! Look at me, Frosaro. You

Never heard of Unhappy Bunny, because

Once I'm done here, Farmer Bunny

Will be carved in history!

I won't be the godbun's little plaything, either!

Mark my words, everything is going to

Change! Everything is going to be redone!

Everyone will see what I'm

Really meant to be! I was always meant

To be Farmer Bunny! Everyone knows this!

And, I won't let this go

If I lose!

No, no, I won't lose!

There's no way that's going to

Happen! Of course it won't!

Everything will be totally fine! This

Mystic Carrot Bowl will be something special!

Yes, that's right,

So, you gods had better be watching me!

This will be quite the show!

I got this in the bag! I

Can't lose here! I

Can't, no matter what!

And, if they so much as think I'll

Reach my end now, they've got another thing coming!

Roar, I got this! I got this in the bag!

Obviously, this time around,

This will be the end of the road! I'll give them a

Big show like they've never seen!

Once and for all, I'll be the

Winner! Everyone will see what a real win

Looks like! You hear that, godbuns? You

Will be giving me that redo,

And will get my true destiny!

So, you'd better be watching!

Rigged or not, this

Is going to reach its proper conclusion! I'm

Going to

Get the true name I always deserved!

Each and every one of you will get to witness what a true

Divine name looks like!

And so, you'll all witness what I'm really

Like! I'm not Unhappy! You'll all

Live with mistake for

A trillion years!

Let it be known how wrong you were!

Once this reaches the end,

No one will even remember who Unhappy Bunny was! This is

Going to finally go the right way!

So, mama, you'd better be watching! Your son is going to get the right name this time!

Once and for all, this

Will go right! I won't have to life with this curse anymore!

Haha, you hear that, final opponent? I

Am going

To cream you!

No matter what, you are going down!

Once and for all, I'll

Win, and this redo is mine!"

Next morning sneaking up on him from behind, the bun braced himself. Today's the last match, does he have what it takes? What if the last one was against a godbun?! No, no, come on, Siorc, snap out of it! That's totally not going to happen! Or, is it? Why is he starting to feel like that's probably the case here? He doesn't know, maybe it might happen. Haha, please, don't let that become a reality!

"Are you ready?" Zhulong asked. "I'm pretty sure you know what to expect by now."

[I'm ready.] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"Right, if you're ready then, let's go to the stadium," Niquel said. She then closed her eyes. "But, try not to get your hopes up."

Reaching the stadium, the vampa gulped. What if the last round ends up being with one of the godbuns after all? No, no, come on! That's definitely not the case! But, what if it does? What if he's facing Divisee?! There's no way he'll be able to beat the divine! Godbun peanut gallery surrounding him one after another, the bun gulped. What is this energy they're giving him?

"Well, well, well, so you made it to the end after all!" Excabu shouted. "Wasn't expecting that!"

"Well, we'll see if he can handle today's opponent!" Sapphbu shouted. "Better get up on stage now! Oh, and just so you know, no rematches! Now, hurry!"

"And we're finally down to the finale, everyone! Can Unhappy Bunny win it all?" the announcer shouted.

Crowd awfully quiet, the bun broke into a sweat. Um, where did all these crickets come from? Something doesn't feel quite right about all of this. What should he do? Tiptoeing onto the battlefield, a surprise face soon awaited him that almost made the bun want to turn around for the next hundreds of years.

Spotting those familiar light purple drills, the bun backed two steps away. Wait, is that? Reading the shirt Curious Hare, the vampa's head spun. Wait a second, no way, this has got to be a big mistake here. Is there a shapeshifter in front of him? Maybe there was. That's all this was, right? Surely.

"It seems like we have a last second change!" the announcer shouted. "Unhappy Bunny's final opponent is Curious Hare!"

Crowd screaming one after another, the bun's jaw dropped. Wait, just, hold on a second! Who decided this? Alright, where's his real opponent? Come out! But, no one else ever came. Wait, is this for real? Alright, godbuns, thanks for the prank! He's not laughing, by the way. Eyes soon locked onto him, a headshake had come his way.

"I'm sorry, Siorc, I know this is probably not how things were supposed to go for you," Deigr said, sighing. "I wasn't supposed to be here, either." She then rose a sharp rake. "Let's get this going, shall we?"

[I won't lose to you, even though we're family!] A crackling voice shouted through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"I'm sorry, Siorc." Deigr said, weapon raised up high.

Weapon glowing, the vampa's eyes opened wide. What is this intense feeling of doom washing over him right about now? Something's not right. Is it just him, or did Deigr feel like she had gotten a secret upgrade to her powers? Forget this, he's not going to lose here, not like this! Supercharged rake coming his way, his ears were caught up into it all.

Zap, zap.

Agh.

Lightning dancing upon his ears quicker than he could keep up with, the bun huffed. What was that just now? Something about this isn't quite adding up. But, what's different? He doesn't know the answer to that. He needs to find her weakness! Earring blade ready to go, he struck back. Her tail's wide open!

Tail given a nice beating, the bun let out a battle cry. Take this, Deigr! She's not going to get him off that easily! Sister letting out a tiny screech, the bun prepared himself for the next hurrah. Did she feel that just now? That's the path to victory! Or, was it? What is this feeling of doom washing over him?

"I must admit, that was pretty good, but," Deigr said, she then flapped upward. "I'm sorry, but, here it comes."

Something large dropping onto the battlefield, the bun backed three steps away. Wait a second, that's?! What are chocobats doing here?! No, not now, not at a time like this! Swarm coming his way, the young adult huffed. He has to get rid of these right here, right now! He's not going to let this be the end of the road for him! Not today!

Vermin returning from the dead one after another, the young adult's eyes pulsated. No, don't tell him, these fiends are invincible? Oh, great! Just what he needed right now! This is going to go so well for him! Biters becoming one with his left hear, the bun had begun to wobble. It's so over, there's no way he's got what it takes anymore. No, no, stop, he can do this! Keep going, Siorc!

Leaping past the crowd of plenty, the young adult flew upward. Take this, her back is wide open, too! Slicing and dicing, the bun swore their health bars were dead even. How much did he have left? Oh, a few slithers. He can do this. He was meant to win this entire thing. But, a sigh had come his way.

"I'm sorry, but, looks like I have to pull out the last resort." Deigr shook her head.

Oh, no.

It's coming.

Little smoky round creature bouncing onto the battlefield, the bun knew. It's over, for both of them. Timer racing towards zero, in an instant, a white flag had soon been waved. This is it, the end of the road for him. Can he at least get a consolation prize? Dropping down onto the ground, he swore Deigr soon did as well.

"And, we've got ourselves a draw!" the announcer shouted. "That concludes this year's Mystic Carrot Bowl!"

What?!

No!

Please, can he have a rematch with the real opponent he was supposed to face here?!

Everything cracking into pieces, tears streamed down the hyena's face. What happened just now? Was this what Zhulong and Niquel meant when they said the Mystic Carrot Bowl was rigged? Haha, he should have known! He should have listened! Sister looking at him, an apologetic look painted her face.

"Look, I didn't know this was my job today, either," Deigr said. "I'm sorry I ruined your last fight."

[It's fine.] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"I'm sorry, Siorc, I really am," Deigr said. "I'll see you at home."

Sister leaving, the bun let out a sea of laughter. Of course, this is how it all went down! He should have known! Please, can he have are do on this entire Mystic Carrot Bowl? Haha, as if that'd ever happen. Let him guess, he's stuck with this name now for all of eternity, isn't he? Go on, godbuns, rub it in!

"Look at our favorite little loser!" Excabu shouted. "Guess what? No wish for you!"

[You rigged this entire thing, didn't you?! I want a redo!] A crackling voice shouted through the Talkmaster B's speakers.

"Hahha, you're so funny, Unhappy Bunny!" Sapphbu shouted. "Not happening! You'd better prepare yourself for the next few weeks, because you can kiss the farm goodbye!"

Dashing back off towards his accommodations, the bun tossed himself onto his bed with a loud thud. Tears streaming down his face, everything raced on through him. It was rigged all along, he should have known this would happen! Haha, haha, too late for that now! World of sleep ready to stab him from behind, one last thought threw itself out into the open.

The godbuns are going to pay for this mistake!

How?

He doesn't know, but he'll find a way!

He'll find a way, so they'd better watch out!
