The first game of the third round took place against the Monkey Majik, a Simyin team who became alchemists after turning their backs on their previous lives. The Maidens had the FAME advantage for this game, and they chose to receive after winning the coin toss.

In the first half, the Silverback named Anderson Silva spent a lot of it roaring angrily while down. Meanwhile, Chiyo-chan got the ball on a touchback, but then gets knocked down in a blitz immediately due to not getting into cover before the team's turnover. Thankfully, Chiyo-chan gets it back before passing it to Sora-sama, who tries to get it down the field with Matsuta. Then Kei gets Badly Hurt by G Rilla as Sora-sama gets wrestled down by Zee Chim Pan. Sora-sama then gets the ball and evades 3 monkeys to score, making it 1-0. Then the weather changed into a blizzard, and Zee Chim Pan manages to score before the first half ends as the monkeys manage to make a few armor breaks as they make it 1-1, including G Rilla inflicting a serious concussion to Takara-tan which was averted by the apothecary.

The second half began with Oingo Boingo picking up the ball and heading to the north side of the pitch. Takara-tan was quick to put an end to that by Badly Hurting the chimp with a blitz, but then Zee Chim Pan then gets the ball and stuns Takara-tan. Then Sora-sama blitzes that chimp and gets the ball before trying to get away, but then Zee Chim Pan gets his revenge with a blitz of his own. Then he surfs Takara-tan and takes cover in a makeshift cage before Chiyo-chan knocks him down with a blitz. Matsuta somehow got the ball and was able to escape the gang of monkeys with some assistance from Takara-tan's Hypnotic Gaze. Zee Chim Pan tries to stop the thrall with a desperate blitz, but he only got a Pushback, so he just pushed him into the endzone, making the score 2-1 in favor of the Maximum Marvelous Maiden.

After the game, the team won 70k gold, Anzai became the MVP, and the Maidens got +1 Fan Factor. Meanwhile, Sora-sama was thinking that the team needed someone stronger in case they had to go against a strong player like a Minotaur or Silverback, so she decided to do some strength training along with taking some steroids. Eventually, her strength went up by 1, putting her current strength at 5. Takara-tan had the occasional headache due to the concussion that was averted by the apothecary, but she was happy that she at least was able to inflict a casualty (even though it was a Badly Hurt). Chiyo-chan was glad that they won despite low morale coming into this game. Now if they can just get 2 more points, then they would be a good enough team to not retire, although their chances of entering the playoffs are rather slim due to their tiebreaker score being -5, which is the second worst in the Rookie league with the Fruitimal's -7 being worse.”
