The Unlikely Rider

"Alright, Red Valley! I'm stepping in!"

"What are you doing, Rindou? Stop it, just stop!"

The senior referees were already inching towards Rindou, trying to calm down the chaotic scene.

━━ A little later…

I reluctantly handed my goofy Shimaenaga cap to Rindou and wrapped a white headband around my forehead. Blending in with the other Shimaenaga Guild members at the entrance, I prepared to step into the chaos of the upcoming event.

"So, who am I teaming up with?"

"There's a spot open on one team since someone dropped out."

Great, so I had to find my own team. I sighed, resigned to the task at hand. "I guess there's no other choice." Steeling myself, I began searching for a cavalry group short of one member.
