#ahaha our 1 rare interaction and it goes like this...

[xkuja]

🌷 - my muse brings yours flowers

      “Ugh, what are THESE?”

       “Roses!? I wanted CAMELLIAS you useless girl.”  And they’re flung off the balcony, scattering softly. Gently. “Thanks to your negligence, valentines is going to be RUINED. I hope you’re happy.”

[eng-hypnosismic]

[TL] Drama Track 「Know Your Enemy Side F.P VS M」

[Gate unlocks]

Gentaro: Pardon the intrusion...ugh. Ramuda, you’ve made even more of a mess. Can you really work in a place like this?

Dice: Uwa--! Colorful as usual...it hurts my eyes!

Ramuda: Hey! Coming into my office just to start complaining is a no-no! Nope, nope! ☆

Gentaro: I guess that makes sense. It would be unreasonable of me to come to your office just to complain about it.

Dice: Ahaha, you ain’t wrong!

Ramuda: All that aside, you two must be getting along well to show up here together!

Gentaro: I suppose.

Female Gentaro: In our past lives, Dice and I were a princess and a knight fated to be star-crossed lovers. Now that we’ve reunited in this life, isn’t it obvious that we don’t want to be apart from each other?

Ramuda: Is that so?! Dice was a knight! Suuuper cool! ❤️

[Dice hits Gentaro]

Gentaro: Ow!

Dice: Cut the crap. We just ran into each other on the way here.

Ramuda: Whaaaa…? So Gentaro wasn’t really a princess?

Gentaro: Ahaha...

Female Gentaro: It was a lie!

Dice: I’d never have a weirdo like him as my lover in a past life, anyway.

Gentaro: Indeed. I wouldn’t want that, either. ...well, that’s a lie, though.

Dice: If you’re lying about “not wanting that,” then…[jumps back] Uwah! Stay back!!!

Gentaro: Ahaha, that was also a lie, though.

Dice: I’m done. There ain’t no talking with this one without tiring myself out, running in circles.

Ramuda: Ahahaha! You guys are so funny! ☆ Hey, hey, what should we play today?

Gentaro: Ramuda, tell us the reason we came here today.

Ramuda: Eh? You guys came to my office to play, right?

Gentaro: He truly has the audacity to say that, huh...

Dice: “You guys came to my office to play, right?” As if! We’re here to go to Chuuoku.

Ramuda: Oh, right! Totes my bad, I’m sowwy~! ☆　

Dice: [scratches head] Aaahhh, this guy’s totally playin’ us for fools!!!

Ramuda: Ehh? That’s so mean! Why would I toy with my two favorite people of all time?

Gentaro: Dice, arguing with Ramuda is a waste of breath. So please calm down. 

Dice: *grumbles*

Gentaro: *sighs* So, tomorrow’s territory battle pits us against Shinjuku Division’s Matenrou, doesn’t it? Their leader Jinguji Jakurai is an old acquaintance of yours, isn’t he, Ramuda?

Ramuda: Ahaha… I guess so.

Gentaro: What kind of person is he?

Ramuda: He’s a good person.

Gentaro: Anything else?

Ramuda: He’s a good person.

Gentaro: Anything else?

Ramuda: He’s a good person.

Gentaro: Ramuda, is it possible that... you hate Jinguji Jakurai?

Ramuda: Don’t say that, Gentaro! Hate’s a strong word, do you really think I could hate anyone?

Gentaro: Yes, of course. I’m aware that Ramuda is a person whose true nature is more difficult to unearth than my own. After close and careful observation, I just can’t help but think so.

Ramuda: Hahaha…Can’t help but think so, you say? What do you mean?

Gentaro: In your life, there are no flaws. Usually people have very “human” moments, but you’ve nothing of the sort. It just feels like a lie, all of it. Consider it a liar’s intuition. There is something up with “Ramuda”.

[something snaps inside Ramuda]

“Ramuda”: Gentaro…get your nose out of my business. I(1) don’t want to talk about it.

[Gentaro gasps]

“Ramuda”: Listen well. I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Don’t you ever make that mistake again. I won’t tell you twice.

Dice: H-Hey… What’s wrong, Ramuda?

Ramuda: Aha! Hey, hey, was I scary just now? Was I? An Onee-san I’m close to told me that she liked this type of character, so I practiced!

Dice: Aw, so that’s all it is! I freaked out for a sec, what with how suddenly your personality changed. Ramuda, ever thought of becoming an actor?

Ramuda: Yay! I got praised by Dice! I did it!

Gentaro: Well...that’s fine. To each their own story. As long as I can complete my mission, these things don’t matter. That said, this felt like the first time I’ve ever interacted with a “human” Ramuda.

[cuckoo clock rings]

Dice: Hm? Oh, it’s already this late? Hurry up, let’s go.

Ramuda: Oh, oh! It really is time. We gotta go! Let’s go, Gentaro.

Gentaro: Ah, yes. Let us go.

Ramuda: Now, onwards! To Chuuoku...let’s go!!!

—————

[knocks on door]

Hifumi: Hey, Doppo, I’m coming in. Uwa! Your room’s a dump again…!

[Hifumi starts cleaning up]

Hifumi: Even though I just cleaned it, it always ends up like this…

Doppo: Hmmmgg...

Hifumi: Come on! Hurry up and wake up, Doppo! We’ll be late meeting Sensei!

Doppo (sleeptalking): Ah, Manager, sorry, sorry. It’s…it’s my fault. It’s all my fault that our department's sales have been plummeting this month, and my fault that the department head had a meltdown, and my fault that you’re balding...I’m sorry...I’m sorry...sorry...

Hifumi: Yikes, he’s even apologizing in his dreams! Just how much of being a corporate slave is imprinted in him... Come on, it’s quitting time for the office in your dreams!

[Hifumi starts slapping Doppo awake]

Hifumi: Come on…come on…come home…!

Doppo: ...It hurts.

Hifumi: Ah, you’re up, Doppo.

Doppo: Hifumi, can you think about my feelings like a normal roommate when you wake me up?

Hifumi: It’s your fault for not waking up! You even kept apologizing in your sleep. You’re way too much of a corporate slave, you know?

Doppo: Eh…? L-leave me alone…ah, that’s right… I was even working within my dream…they better pay me overtime.

Hifumi: Get up, I made breakfast, so hurry up and eat so we can head over to the meeting place.

Doppo: Today’s breakfast is *sniff sniff* …Grilled salmon, huh?

—————

[Car races by]

Doppo: Sensei, I’m sorry for making you drive on top of providing a car.

Jakurai: Don’t worry about it, I don’t dislike driving.

Hifumi: For reals, sorry for always hitching a ride!

Doppo: Hm? Wait a second, “always?”

Hifumi: Yeah? What about it?

Doppo: Why are you “always” riding in Sensei’s car?!

Jakurai: Ah, when Hifumi and I go fishing, I always drive, Doppo-kun.

Hifumi: Yup, yup! Sensei and I are fishing buds!

Doppo: I-I never heard about it…

Jakurai: Huh, is that so? But I’ve always told Hifumi to invite you, too...

Hifumi: No way you “never heard about it!” I invite you every time, but you always say, “I’m going to sleep, talk to me tomorrow.” And then I couldn’t ever tell you ‘cause your body clock is in reverse!

Doppo: Hh...you might have said something like that on my days off...

Hifumi: See?

Doppo: This time it’s actually my fault for not listening to you but… I still feel kinda left out or something…

Hifumi: Haha! Why would I ever leave you out?!

Jakurai: That’s right. The next time our off days align, let’s all go fishing together.

Doppo: Hifumi, Sensei, thank you very much! Even if I have to use my hypnosis mic on the balding manager, I’ll get a day off!

Hifumi: Oh! It’s rare to see Doppo so fired up! [happy noises]

[Hifumi starts hugging Doppo]

Doppo: Stop it, Hifumi. Don’t cling to me…!

Jakurai: Even if it’s to get a day off, do not use your hypnosis mic, alright, Doppo-kun?  

—————

Ramuda: Aha, such a cool and tall wall! Every time I see Chuuoku’s outer wall, I’m totally wowed!

Gentaro: Ramuda, please circle around me more. It sets my heart all aflutter to see you have fun.

Dice: Hey, Gentaro! Don’t say necessary things! He’ll just get more annoying!

Ramuda: Ehehe! Then I’ll start running off more! Woooossshhhh!

[Ramuda starts running around]

Ramuda: How’s that, how’s that!

Gentaro: Well, that was a lie though.

Ramuda: Huh?! That was a lie?!

Gentaro: Yes. Quite frankly, you’re being a nuisance, so stop running around.

Ramuda: Ehehe! I won’t be fooled anymore~! That’s a lie, too, right?

Gentaro: No. This is not a lie.

Ramuda: Sure it’s not~! ❤️

Gentaro: Ramuda, you may not know this, but Dice loves to have people run around him, even more than food. Therefore, go run around Dice.

Dice: Hey, dude, stop messing around!

Ramuda: Really?? Then I’ll run a whole lot around Dice! Wheeeeeee!

[Ramuda starts running around Dice]

Dice: AHHHHHHHH! SHUT UP! Chill the hell out!  

[Ramuda runs around Dice]

Dice: AHHH!

Ramuda: Ahaha! Can’t catch me~!

Dice: Get your ass over here!

[Dice chases after Ramuda]

Gentaro: Ramuda’s acting as he usually does. No, it’s different. He hasn’t shown us his “true self” since then. Let’s test it.

Gentaro: Oh right, Dice.

[Dice stops running]

Dice: Huh? What do you want?

Gentaro: I left something in the car. Go fetch it for me.

Dice: Huh? Why I gotta do that? Do it yourself!

Gentaro: Is that so? I suppose that’s that, then. I was thinking we could all have a gambling session tonight, so I brought along a deck of cards, but I guess we can’t…

Dice: Yes, sir! I will go get them right now, so hand me the keys.

[Dice runs off to the car]

Gentaro: Now, Ramuda.

[Ramuda comes to a halt]

Ramuda: What is it, Gentaro?

Gentaro: There’s something I want to ask you.

Ramuda: Sure! Ask away! But are you gonna ask me about that boring thing from earlier? If so just know I hate that stuff~

Gentaro: Then it’s fine. I’ve no intention of waking the beast.

[Ramuda hugs Gentaro]

Ramuda: Eheh~! I loooove Gentaro~! ❤️

Gentaro: Yes, yes. The same goes for me.

[Dice returns]

Dice: Gentaro! There wasn’t a deck of cards!

Gentaro: Of course not, I was lying.

Dice: You bastard!

Ramuda: Oh! It’s Ichiro! Hey~! Ichiro~!

[Ramuda runs off to Ichiro]

Gentaro: Amemura Ramuda...quite the intriguing case, isn’t he?

—————

[Everyone gets out of the car]

Hifumi: Ah, we’re heeeeere! As always, Chuuoku’s wall is super tall.

Doppo: Yeah, I guess. This impenetrable wall and top-notch security were both provided for by taxes, collected from the money I’ve been killing myself just to earn...thinking about that makes me cry blood.

Jakurai: This wall is the manifestation of our world’s distortions.

Hifumi: Speaking of, Sensei, you know that one guy from Shibuya Division’s Fling Posse, don’t you?  Amemura… Shiguma, yeah? You used to be teammates, right?

Doppo: Hifumi, it’s not “Shiguma” it’s “Ramuda.”

Hifumi: Right, right, Ramuda! The person with a weird name, So what kind of “type” is he?

Jakurai: Amemura-kun, huh? Let’s see…

[Doppo flicks Hifumi]

Hifumi: What was that for, Doppo?

Doppo: You idiot! Everyone knows that Sensei and Amemura Ramuda don’t get along. What are you going to do if you upset him…?!

Jakurai: Haha, thank you, Doppo-kun. But it’s alright, you needn’t trouble yourself over it.

Doppo: Sensei…!

Hifumi: See! Sensei says it’s fine!

Jakurai: Let’s see… Honestly, I don’t have a particularly positive opinion of him.

Hifumi: What did he do for someone like Sensei to hate him?

Jakurai: While it’s true that I find odd people interesting and likeable...humanity...well, perhaps one could say that he has lost his humanity. Something of that sort.

Doppo: So Amemura Ramuda is the reason your previous team disbanded?

Jakurai: That is a part of it, but it’s not the whole reason.

Hifumi: How ‘bout the whole “lost his humanity” part?

Jakurai: That’s… No, let’s leave it at that. Unfortunately, this is unfavourable towards him, so it is against my principle to talk about the details publicly. I’ll have to decline answering your question.

Hifumi: Eeehh? It’s fine, isn’t it? Tell us--

[Doppo slaps his hand over Hifumi’s mouth]

Doppo: Hifumi! He said that he doesn’t want to answer! Don’t try to force him!

Hifumi: *grimaces*

[Doppo lets go]

Hifumi: Okaaaay...

—————

Samatoki: Well, if it ain’t Sensei...what a coincidence, enterin’ the same time.

Jakurai: Hm? Ah, Samatoki-kun, it has been a while. You haven’t changed at all.

Samatoki: Yeah. You two, introduce yourselves.

Juto: Glad to meet you. I am Mad Trigger Crew’s Iruma Juto. I have heard talk about Jinguji-sensei for quite some time. It’s an honor to meet you.

Riou: It is nice to meet you at last. I am Busujima Mason Riou. Treat me well.

Jakurai: How polite of you. I am Matenrou’s Jinguji Jakurai. Though we will be fighting in the future, the pleasure is mine.

Samatoki: Are the ones behind you your team members?

Jakurai: That’s correct. Please introduce yourselves.

Hifumi: Hey heeey! I am Matenrou’s MC Gigolo, Izanami Hifumi! Nice ta meet’cha!

Samatoki: Hah? Why ya runnin’ your mouth?!

Hifumi: Haha, whoopsie! I made the yakuza angry! Doppo-chin help me~!

[Hifumi hides behind Doppo]

Doppo: H-Hey! H-Hifumi…!  

Samatoki: Who’s the white collar?

Doppo: Hh! Y-Yakuza…!

Hifumi: Come on, Doppo! It’s rude to not properly introduce yourself!

[Hifumi pushes Doppo forward]

Doppo: Uh...

[Doppo pulls out his business card]

Doppo: This...is me...

[Samatoki grabs and crumbles the card]

Samatoki: A business card? Pain in the ass.

[Throws it on the ground]

Samatoki: You got a mouth, at least use it!!!

[Grabs Doppo by the collar]

Doppo: I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I’m Kannonzaka Doppo, your average salary man…!

Juto: Hm? I feel like I’ve met him somewhere.

Samatoki: Say that to begin with, dumbass!

[Releases Doppo]

Doppo: ...I have a fate of being yelled at no matter where I go… Tomorrow, I’ll probably say something unnecessary and it’s going to be my fault we lose… And tomorrow it’ll be my fault that it rains. I’ll appear a wet mess without an umbrella in front of women… Hah… It’s all my… My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my…

Riou: What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? If you don’t feel well, drink this homemade special drink made with lavender (2).

[pours Doppo a drink]

Riou: Here.

Doppo: Huh? Thank you for your kindness…

Samatoki: Hey, Juto. Didn’t we try to drink that before and get knocked out cold in seconds?

[Juto starts shivering]

Samatoki: Huh? Hey, Juto, what’s up?

[Samatoki tries shaking Juto]

Juto: ...Ah! S-Stop it…! I don’t want to remember it…! Don’t make me remember that cursed taste…

Samatoki: O-Okay… Well I don’t gotta tell him.

Doppo: Now, I’ll gladly drink it.

[Doppo gulps down the drink]

Doppo: Ooh! I think I feel somewhat better...! It’s a bit bitter, but it’s a good feeling. Um, please tell me how to make this next time!

Riou: That’s good. Of course, I’ll tell you. Next time, you should come to Yokohama Division.

Samatoki: You shittin’ me? He drank it, no problem.

Juto: That’s unreal…

Hifumi: Heehh? Doppo, let me drink some too!

Doppo: Geez, Hifumi. Busujima-san, is that okay?

Riou: I don’t mind.

Doppo: Thank you very much. Come on, you thank him too.

Hifumi: Thankiiiieee!

[Riou pours another cup]

Riou: Go ahead.

Hifumi: Down the hatch~!

[Hifumi throws it all up and collapses]

Doppo: Huh? H-Hey! Hifumi, what’s wrong?

[Doppo tries slapping Hifumi awake]

Doppo: This isn’t the time to fool around!

Hifumi: HHHHuUUUhHGGG!!

Samatoki: Well, that’s a normal response.

Juto: Yeah.

Samatoki: Huh? What’s up with you, Juto?

Juto: No, it’s nothing. In any case, Samatoki, you have the District permits with you, right?

Samatoki: Duh. I’m the one in charge of ‘em...

[Samatoki pats his pockets]

Samatoki: Huh? Agh! Dammit!

Juto: Huh? Could it be, you left it at the office?

Samatoki: No! They’re there, you know, on the dashboard of the car!

Juto: Well that’s great. Then let’s go get them. Riou, you too.

Riou: Roger.

[Juto & Riou begin walking back to the car]

Samatoki: See ya, Sensei.

Jakurai: Yes, see you tomorrow, Samatoki-kun. Now, Doppo-kun, Hifumi-kun, shall we go on ahead?

Doppo: Yes.

Hifumi: Kaaaay...

[Everyone walks off]

—————

Hifumi: Oh, the big gate over there is the entrance, huh?

Doppo: Huh? Are the people over there from other teams?

Jakurai: It seems so. It’s Ichiro and his team and… Amemura is there too.

Hifumi: Oh! The Amemura Ramuda that Sensei hates!

Doppo: I know Sensei said not to worry about it, but have some tact! Right, Sensei? …Sensei?

Hifumi: Sensei went ahead already.

Doppo: Sensei…

Jakurai: It has been a while, Ichiro-kun. And the same to you, Amemura-kun.

Ichiro: Hello, Jakurai-san.

Ramuda: Eeh, that geezer Jakurai’s here, too...ahaha! Long time no see, Jakurai!

Jakurai: I can hear you, Amemura-kun. As always, you show no courtesy towards your elders.

Ramuda: Ehhh? I don’t know what you’re talking about~! ✩ So the shitty old man’s ears work just fine.

Jakurai: Haa, how long are you going to continue with your childish act.  

Ramuda: Bleeeh! That’s none of your business! Hmph! Bleeeh! Why don’t you say something, huh?

Gentaro: Oh? So that’s Matenrou’s leader, Jinguji Jakurai. He’s not as temperate as I’ve heard.

Dice: Huh? What do you mean?

Gentaro: They say Jinguji Jakurai is so saintly he wouldn’t hurt a fly. But for him to suddenly lunge at Ramuda...

Dice: Oh…

Gentaro: Or on the other hand, Ramuda could have done something that angered even someone so divine.

Dice: Prob’ly. That’s something Ramuda would do, not that it’s any of my business.

Gentaro: Are you not curious about what happened, Dice?

Dice: Of course not. I came here for a gamble, not a history lesson.

Gentaro: Heh, that’s just like you to say something like that. However, knowing your enemy is essential for victory.

Dice: Then I’ll leave the complicated stuff to you. I’ll just have fun betting my life against the enemies in front of me.

Gentaro: My goodness. Well, obviously I couldn’t rely on someone as reckless as you. Let’s just play to our strengths and focus on our individual duties.

Dice: I kinda feel like you’re trash talking me, but since you’re taking care of that annoying stuff, I’ll let it slide and leave you to it.

Gentaro: That’s fine. Hm? The ones entering over there...

[lights cigarette]

Samatoki: The damn hypocrite, Yamada Ichiro-kun. I’ve missed you.

Juto: Well, well, it seems that everyone is here.

Riou: Hm. So these are the former Dirty Dawg members, Yamada Ichiro and Amemura Ramuda. I see. They do have a certain aura about them. I wonder just how good they are. I’m looking forward to it.

Doppo: H-Huh? It seems that the policeman from Mad Trigger Crew is walking towards me...

Hifumi: What’s wrong, Doppo? Someone you know? Just kidding, to meet someone you know in a place like this…

Juto: Hey, it’s been some time hasn’t it? You changed quite a bit, so I didn’t recognize you earlier.

Doppo: Huh? “Been some time”...?

Juto: I don’t blame you for forgetting. My appearance has changed quite a bit as well. I’m Iruma, we used to talk for quite a bit during questionings.

Doppo: Huh… Ah! The corrupt cop!

Juto: That’s a bit of an odd way be remembered as… But I’m glad that you recognize me.

Hifumi: Hey! It really was someone you knew!

Juto: You seem to have quite the unique friend there.

Doppo: S-Sorry…

Juto: Aha. It seems that you still have a habit of apologizing, Kannonzaka-san.

Doppo: A-Ah, sorry--

Juto: There is nothing for you to apologize for. Then, we shall part here.

Doppo: Ah, yes. I hope to see you again…

[Juto walks off]

Hifumi: Doppo, how’d you get to know him so well?

Doppo: It’s not like I know him well or anything...there were just a few complications back then...

—————

Ramuda: Wah! Sa-ma-toki! ♡ It’s been a while~!

[hugs Samatoki]

Samatoki: Aahh, pain in the ass! Don’t fucking touch me!

[tries to throw Ramuda off]

Ramuda: Hehe! It’s been so long, it’s fine, right?

[Samatoki continues to struggle]

Samatoki: Asshole, if you don’t cut the crap, I’ll kill you for real.

Ramuda: Samatoki scawy~! ♡

[Jakurai removes Ramuda]

Jakurai: It is rude to suddenly walk away when someone is speaking to you. Moreover, a proper adult would not do what others do not like.

Ramuda: Then, I’m fine being a kid -3-.

Jakurai: Haa, I am astonished beyond words.

Ramuda: In that case, keep your trap shut for eternity.

Jakurai: Amemura-kun, as I have said before, I can hear you.

Ramuda: Ahahaha! So annoying~!

Ichiro: Ramuda, enough already.

Ramuda: Wha?! Ichiro is picking on me too?! Boo hoo…!

Samatoki: Sensei, I’m sorry for the trouble.

Jakurai: No need; I had simply not finished my conversation with Amemura-kun.

Doppo: T-The Dirty Dawg members are all here!

Hifumi: Hyaaa! If I snap a pic and upload it to SNS, it’ll go viral!

Gentaro: The legendary group fallen from glory reunites out of pure coincidence...if this were a novel, it’d be an awesome scene, though I’d rather not encounter it in real life.

Dice: Don’t care, though. I just wanna hurry up and gamble.

Jakurai: Amemura-kun, to continue with the conversation from earlier--

Ramuda: I’m not being a real bother to you, so just leave me alone.

Jakurai: If you really think that, then I really question your sensitivity.

Ramuda: What are you talking about? I don’t understand.

Jakurai: Personally, I am deeply intrigued by the behaviors of the twisted, hence, I can’t hate them. People like that tend to be rather magnetic, pulling all those near them towards misfortune, but that’s just life. I don’t harbor any hatred or disapproval towards it.

Ramuda: Jeez! Your speech is so difficult and boring!

[Ramuda jumps and grabs Jakurai’s collar]

“Ramuda”: That’s enough, Jinguji Jakurai. If another word comes out of your mouth, you’ll regret it.

Jakurai: What?

Ramuda: Like I said~ Boring talks are a no-no!

Jakurai: *deep chuckle* Amemura-kun.

Ramuda: Whaa?

Jakurai: My sincerest apologies, but I truly don’t believe I can ever come to like you.

Ramuda: Ahaha~! I don’t mind because I de-de-de-de-de-de-deeeeespise you~!

Jakurai: *deep chuckle*

Ramuda: Hehe~

The faster, the better, since I’ve had enough of your face. No need to wait ‘til tomorrow.

[hypnosis mic on]

Jakurai: There is no helping it. This is self defense.

Ramuda rap:

None of your business, geezer

Cast away ghosts with this flow, the best!

Like a monster that keeps respawning, but

This rap is gonna end you, gramps!

[hypnosis mic attack wave]

Jakurai: Ghhaa...! Fufu… It’s been a while since I’ve felt this… He’s especially good with such dazzling style...this dizziness is unbearable.

Ramuda: Huuuuh? You’re down already? Jakurai, so lame~

Ramuda rap (cont):

Ha! Weak, weak, painful, painful

You look good in the grave, like a zombie

To respect you even though I hate you is impossible

Jakurai betrayed my expectations too much!

[hypnosis mic attack wave]

Jakurai: The same old amazing flow, I must say.

[hypnosis mic on]

Jakurai: This time, it is my turn.

Jakurai rap:

Indeed your rhyme, its style is superb however

I won’t show mercy to patients like you

Beneath the scalpel of words, can you win? No!

So let me give you some advice, if it’s your medical report, it’s pediatrics

[hypnosis mic self-recovery wave]

Ramuda: Woah! What a recovery!

Jakurai: I’ll be continuing.

Jakurai rap (cont):

There is no hope for you, a troubled soul’s child’s play

Respect raises a person to be strong

That is why I am strong (strong); respect fuels my strength

You will come to understand it in death, farewell (farewell)

[hypnosis mic defense wave]

Ramuda: Ghh--! Your raps are so dark as always. Your raps aren’t for attacking but are aimed at yourself. And then you elevated your mentality and upped your defense.  

Jakurai: Battle tactics differ based on the individual; only a third rate rapper would complain.

Ramuda: Tch! I’m gonna keep coming at you though!

Ramuda rap (cont):

Annoyed, irritated, on edge, out of patience

Who do you think you are? A god? I hate you!

Being a pain as you so please

Getting on my nerves everytime

Such an arrogant zombie!

[hypnosis mic attack wave cancelled]

???: You will cease now, you sickening men.

[several women run in]

Jakurai: That’s…

Ramuda: Tch!

Hifumi: H-Hhh! There’s… so… many…Hh--!

Gentaro: What a sight…

Dice: What a fancy way to greet us.

Doppo: S-Sensei… Could those scary women possibly be…

Jakurai: She is the advisor to the Prime Minister and Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department, Administrative Supervision Director-General, Kadenokouji Ichijiku. She is the number two of the current government.

Doppo: S-So it really is…!

Kadenokouji Ichijiku: Next, Jinguji Jakurai.

Hifumi : Hh! S-She’s coming this way…!

[Ichijiku walks towards Jakurai]

Jakurai: Yes, what is it?

Ichijiku: I’m the one who should be asking that, you fool! Have you a defense for this siutation?

Jakurai: No, none.

Ichijiku: Hmph! So you too are no more than a man.

Doppo: A-Ah… Pardon me…!

Ichijiku: What is it?

Doppo: Um… Sensei had no choice since Amemura Ramuda activated his hypnosis mic-

Jakurai: Doppo-kun, I’m fine.

Doppo: But--!

Jakurai: It’s okay. Anyways, Hifumi seems to be terrified so go to him instead.

Hifumi: *crying sounds* Doppo… Don’t leave me...

Doppo: …I understand.

[Doppo runs back to Hifumi]

Jakurai: I apologize for the trouble.

Ichijiku: He has a good heart, but you know what happens when people tries to make excuses before me...

[Ichijiku walks towards Fling Posse]

Ichijiku: Alright, next. Amemura Ramuda.

Ramuda: Yes, yes~! What is it, what is it?

Ichijiku: Shut up! Your voice is grating to hear!

Ramuda: Waaaah! Onee-san got angry at me!

Ichijiku: It irritates me to talk to someone like you. Listen well, I’m only saying this once so pay attention.

Ramuda: Naah~! I don’t like difficult talks so I won’t listen! Bye bye!

[Ramuda runs aways]

Ichijiku: It’s not worth talking to an idiot. Alright, we’re departing.

[all the women leave]

Jakurai: Hifumi-kun, are you alright?

Hifumi: L-Lots of… women…

Doppo: Just take a look! They’re already gone.

[Hifumi looks in all directions]

Hifumi: That was suuuper scary!

Doppo: Amemura Ramuda is an odd one, as predicted.

Jakurai: Yes. He is an oddball, but he has first class skill.

Doppo: *grimace*

Doppo: With what we’ve seen of the other team members, they all look very skilled.

Jakurai: It may not be reassuring coming from me, however, I believe with you two, we can win.

Hifumi & Doppo: Sensei…!

Jakurai: Now then, shall we enter Chuuoku?

Hifumi & Doppo: Yes!

—————

Gentaro: It was my first time seeing someone as respectable as Kadenokouji Ichijiku.

Ramuda: That Onee-san doesn’t really have a reason in going out, so we were totes lucky to see her!

Dice: That important-seeming woman has such an exaggerated title.

Gentaro: Dice, she doesn’t just seem important, she is that important.

Dice: Oh, for real?

Gentaro: Dice, could it be that...you don’t know of her?

Dice: Not a clue. Not like her name will do me any good in gambling, anyway.

Ramuda: Ahaha, that’s so like you Dice!

Gentaro: Haa...all else aside, Ramuda, you dared to use your Hypnosis Mic under such a woman’s jurisdiction...this kind of situation—

[phone rings]

Ramuda: Sorry~ I need to take this, ‘kay?

Dice: Just pick it up here, who cares?

Ramuda: It’s a call from Onee-san so I don’t really want you to hear about it~ Unless you want to hear our flirting~? ☆

Dice: Never mind, take it outside.

Ramuda: See? Then, I’ll go out for a bit~!

[Ramuda runs off to take to call]

[exits the building]

Gentaro: Hmm…

[phone continues to ring]

[picks up call]

Ramuda: I thought you’d call, Onee-san!

Ramuda: Yup, of course no one is listening.

Ramuda: Yeah.

Ramuda: Like I said, sorry ‘bout that!

Ramuda: Yeah. I know, I know.

Ramuda: Yeah, uhuh.

Ramuda: Uhh yeah...

“Ramuda”: Yeah, that won’t be a problem. Without any delay. If there is anything suspicious about the other divisions, I’ll report it immediately. Yes, if you can.

Ramuda: Mhmm!

Ramuda: Okay~!

Ramuda: Aha~!

Ramuda: Of course, Ichijiku onee-san! ❤️

TL notes

1. “Ramuda” uses “ore” to refer to himself instead of Ramuda’s usual “boku”. Both mean “I” or “me” but “ore” is relatively less polite and more masculine.

2. Lavender has many health benefits including treating anxiety, stress, insomnia, and relaxation. But who knows what else Riou threw in there.
