We suddenly find ourselves in some kind of location backstage. Why are we here? Because kneeling down in front of something out of our vision are Maxine Salt and Pepper Hutchinson. Still battered and bruised from the gruelling gauntlet not long earlier, neither girl seems able to look upward towards whatever they’re facing.
Pepper Hutchinson
“W-We’re sorry that w-we failed you, Sire, w-we have no excuse…”
Maxine Salt
“N-Nonono…”
Pepper Hutchinson
“But we’ve managed to g-get a cameraman l-like you demanded…”
Maxine Salt
“Y-Y-Yeayeayeah…”
Shizuku Yamamoto
“If you think that makes up for your earlier disappointment then you're both wrong. So I expect you both up earlier for training tomorrow.”
Both women wince at the mentioning of this ‘training’ but didn’t dare look upward as the person they were talking to, Shizuku Yamamoto, enters the shot and - without even acknowledging the kneeling pair - turns to face the device broadcasting them across the titantron.
Shizuku Yamamoto
“Earlier this month I declared that this thing-”
Shizuku pulls the Two Kingdoms Championship into view, fully revealing the scraped and scruffy surface of the gold in the process, before unceremoniously dropping the belt without an apparent care.
Shizuku Yamamoto
“Has crowned me as the The King of Failures and my first proclamation as king was that you either kneel to king or become the bones that The Kingdom of Failures is built upon…but it seems that I need to deal with a mere little phrase…‘The Two Kingdoms belong to Donzig-gun’.”
The sigh that departs Miss Yamamoto’s lips shows a lack of anger or bother…but instead potentially shows indifference as Maxine shuffles a little from her position to pick up the previously discarded Title belt off the mat.
Shizuku Yamamoto
“Truth be told I don’t feel anything special towards the Two Kingdoms Championship, neither do I hold any genuine feeling towards this company or anyone involved in it, and probably would’ve handed it over if you asked your monarch nicely…”
The blankness across the short Asian’s face is replaced with irritation.
Shizuku Yamamoto
“But instead, Donzig, you’ve chosen to offend The King. So here is my second proclamation…you may be the man of a thousand nicknames, Donzig, but I have a new - more accurate - name for you…one you’ll have to wait until March 20th, since The King of Failures accepts your challenge.”
Sharply leaves The King’s lips as she pushes the us side, possibly so she and her underlings could make their exit, though the force caused us to fall sideways before a crash could be heard as the scene crashes into static.
