It started like any other regular day for Blanc. She woke up to the sound of her Merryio alarm clock, she got dressed, and she stared out to look at the frozen, cartoony landscape of Lowee.
Blanc sighed a bit as she took in the view. She had been lagging behind when it came to the number of shares that she had been accumulating. The latest Lowee console, Lowee U, had vastly underperformed compared to the Lastation 4 and the Leanbox One. Even her sisters seemed to look up to Neptune more than they looked up to her recently.
Blanc wasn't sure what to do with her life right now. All through her life, she tried to make sure that Lowee was a place that's safe and appropriate for kids to live and be happy in. Now those kids have left and gone to Leanbox and Lastation. Worse yet, Blanc had censored some risqué artwork in order to try and get some kids to come back. Needless to say, it only made the adults leave.
Throughout Blancs life, she had gone with her gut in when it came to solving problems. Now, not only has her gut let her down, but it's been getting larger as well. Blanc had recently turned to consuming ice cream as a method of calming herself. As such, she'd gained roughly 15 pounds, all of which went to her stomach. Her middle was now a little bit flabby.
Blanc sighed once more as she turned down and poked her inflated mid section.
"I'm in a real bind........."
Suddenly, Blanc heard a ring on her doorbell.
Blanc answered the door. To her surprise, it was some weird guy with red eyes that was wearing a cape.
"I don't want whatever the hell it is you're selling. Unless it's ice cream" Blanc said, internally acknowledging that it'd be pointless to try to lose weight right now because of the numerous other things that she has to deal with first.
"I'm not hear to sell you so-"
"Yeah? Then leave. I'm not in the mood to deal with creepy men that look like pedos right now. I've had my fill of you Trick-esque assholes for one lifetime."
Blanc tried to shut the door, but the strange man stopped the door from shutting by putting his foot inside.
"Listen! I have a way to fix your little problems."
Blanc tilted her head a little, and then sighed. "Oh well. Come in. If your lying, then at least I can beat you up and use this expirerience for that new book that I'm writing."
The creepy man and Blanc sat down.
"So, I can't help but notice that you've, well, you've been in a spot of trouble these days."
"Yeah? What of it? Make with the solutions, asshole!"
"My, my. You were never this angry when I was a child. Anywho, I've come to let you know that all of your problems can be solved by a little contest that I've decided to hold."
Blanc shot the stranger a look of disbelief. " A contest? I thought that you were some kind of great game designer, or a artist, or even a physical fitness trainer. How the hell will this contest help me in any way?"
The stranger who was starting to seem familiar to Blanc smiled softly and held out a small stone.
"See this stone? All you have to do with it is think your wishes, and they'll come true. If you win this contest, you can have three of em'."
"How do I know that thing wor-"
"Look to your right."
Blanc looked to her right. She saw a giant, hot fudge sundae materialize out of nowhere and onto the table next to her.
"..."
"You see? All that you've ever wanted can happen with the help of this little magical rock. All you have to do is win at an eating contest that will be held for you and the other goddesses in three months."
"Win......an..."
"Yes. You heard me, Blanc. An eating contest. You might want to start training, given avert and Neptunes current, ah, figures." the strange man said, struggling to remain tactful.
Blanc was speechless. A million questions shot through her mind at once.
"But, why-"
"Because I love this country, Blanc. That's why. I know that you can succeed. You just need a little push to get your determination back. Then you'll be back to what you used to be. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and recruit the other contestants."
The hooded man left.
Blanc dug a spoon into her new sundae. She was suspicious, but a man with a stone that could grant him world domination probably didn't have anything to hide from her.
"I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win, and I'm gonna make the other goddesses cry like anime fans on prom night!" Blanc boldly declared.
