### Summary

We are the Black Suits, who has served as the bodyguards of the Hocari Family starting from Chairman Suezo, and are also in charge of the management of BMA! We’ve been quite busy since the appearance of the promising newbie, Cota Coga! There are also many talented people with various personalities, such as the Three Champions and the Bottle Stars. Among them is the lucky boy who is the number one in attention now... How far can he run up!? It’s also a problem for our chairman, who loves caps very much! Our works are increasing, and our suffering continue!

### Plot

Three Black Suit members A, B and C feel that their workload has drastically increased for the past few days, even complaining that they have to stay overnight to work. A believes it is all due to the BMA research facility being intruded and subsequently the damaged bridge caused by Cota and Ponta, but knows he and the other Black Suits can't press all the charges against both boys. B and C say that the bridge is just a temporary construction, but A insists they will be shouldered with the responsibility of having a hazardous structure unattended and potentially harming civilians. B and C then figure out why A placed a large charge against Cota and Ponta.

A then adds that him issuing the large repairs is to tell both Ponta and Cota to stay quiet about the ordeal of the broken bridge. However, B and C note that Cota actually ended up possessing Origin, and C says he almost believed Cota stole Origin. A concludes that neither of Cota nor Ponta's IDs match with the facility's, so it was already impossible for them to sneak into the facility at all, but B believes they cannot rule out the possibility of Cota getting insider help. But overall, the Black Suits are still bothered with how unpredictably eccentric Suezo always is.

To change the topic, A suggests discussing about the Bottle Battlers this year. They talk about Tsubasa's battle against Io, and then Io's son Ryo on how Ryo might be a late entry but is actually powerful. But the three also wonder why he suddenly showed up during the Bottle Royale. They proceed talking about Seimei, who got disqualified mid-battle earlier this year, and they have heard rumors about him being favored by Machiko. They then talk about Kaori, who recently applied with Docpepion DX, but are aware that she usually shuts herself in her home and seldom participates in competitions.

Soon, the three Black Suits bring up about Cota, who has been talked about a lot recently by other players. While Cota has brought new tension to the battlefield, B believes that Cota should be more cautious with his moves due to previously shooting at an unstable foothold and costing the potential victory, while C is optimistic about Cota's potential growth as a battler.

After A shuts C up, he then remarks there are two more Champions out there. However, B states that Leo is still hiding underground and won't be making public appearances too soon. C also adds that the last Champion has been too depressed to battle, ever since Citrus ran away. They wish for a comeback of Citrus, but know it is hard to process the thought process of such a prodigal child. While Citrus's comeback might increase the numbers of Cheer Caps, there is a risk of clogging the collection tubes. A also comments on how ridiculous it is for Suezo's obsession to swim in a pool filled with caps, by applying math logic. According to A, these caps will eventually break the collection tube and spill all over the battlefield, potentially harming the players.

Suddenly, A receives a call on he and his colleagues being assigned to drain all of the ponds of the battlefield from all the accumulated bottle caps. It is said for cleaning up, exterminating invasive species and maintaining water quality, but in reality it is merely because Suezo wants to hoard all the caps that are underwater.

In the end, the three Black Suits are forced to work overnight just to clean all of the ponds. While B and C bemoan their fate, Suezo's voice can be heard cheering for the prospect of collecting more caps.
