Ikuto managed to seize the number one spot at the joint exhibition after two days of fierce competition. Having received high praise from his rival, Toh Ayano, Ikuto is now taking steps to go independent. However, despite his high motivation, everything isn't going as smoothly as he had hoped. He might have a knack for designing, but he's just not cut out for managing a business at all! In order to create a brand that can exhibit at Paris, he will need someone who can help him out with this, as well as patternmakers! A patternmaking contest will be held to decide who his patternmaker will be. Just who will be the first to join his brand?!
