[This is problematic.]

[matsubokkuri]

I don't know why everyone keeps calling me stupid.

[doesntfallfar]

You truly can not phantom an answer?

[ididntsaybanana]

Be quiet.

[matsubokkuri]

Fathom!

[Hah!]

Wait, who the hell are you?

[matsubokkuri]

Maybe I don't wanna! You're only sort of the boss of me, you know.

[ididntsaybanana]

Tch! Annoying.

[doesntfallfar]

[I do mean phantom, but why not give you the benefit of the doubt]

That question is delayed.

[justlivemore]

You definitely brought this on yourself.

[matsubokkuri]

Easy for you to say, you don't have to listen to yourself talk all the time!

[ididntsaybanana]

No one asked you.

[ididntsaybanana]

Poor you.

[matsubokkuri]

[Who even says that]

So what? That doesn't mean you shouldn't answer.

[justlivemore]

Ah, but it was right out there in the open, I kind of had to.

[doesntfallfar]

[maybe in the future you'll under-- no you wont]

Those with proper manners on a battlefield offer their name first.

[ididntsaybanana]

Had to shove yourself into a place where you're not wanted? Aren't you a sucker for punishment then.

[matsubokkuri]

[Staring blankly around for a moment]

Uhh. But we're not on a battlefield.

[doesntfallfar]

[...Let's go over this slowly]

You took the Sengoku Driver, didn't you?

[justlivemore]

Yeah, yeah, whatever. According to you, I don't belong anywhere, so I guess it's a good thing you don't tell me what to do.

Doesn't seem like you're doing a good job of bossing anyone else around either.

[matsubokkuri]

[Slowly's good, I like slowly]

Yeah, obviously. But I'm not wearing it right now.

[doesntfallfar]

You took it to support the banana rider, right?

[ididntsaybanana]

Still as dumb as ever, I see.

[matsubokkuri]

Psh, yeah right. That's just the cover story. I took it to support myself, and my team! I'm not anyone's pet!

[doesntfallfar]

Meaning you took it to fight, right? That makes anyplace you venture a battlefield.

[matsubokkuri]

Oh. Huh. Well, I guess if you say so.

[Don't worry, he's already forgotten where this conversation began]

[doesntfallfar]

[Maybe if he actually paid attention to who Sid gives drivers to, situations like this could be avoided.]

You're a warrior who lives on the battlefield now. Act accordingly.

[matsubokkuri]

[Now he remembers!]

Hey, I still don't know who the hell you are to try and tell me what to do!

[doesntfallfar]

As I said, a warrior gives their name before requesting the names of others.

[ryuugen]

They do?

[matsubokkuri]

You are some kind of broken record, man.

[matsubokkuri]

Yeah, and it's really starting to-

[Stares for a second, then looks away chin up]

What's it to you, anyway?

[doesntfallfar]

Then listen to what I said.

[really now.]

[matsubokkuri]

Why should I? You're not the boss of me either.

[doesntfallfar]

This is why there are those who deem you mentally deficient.

[Wait, that might be too much for him]

This is why people think you're stupid.

[matsubokkuri]

I knew what you meant.

[Rude.]

But I think you're full of crap! What exactly is stupid about not wanting to be bossed around by some creepy dude in a suit?

[doesntfallfar]

Kureshima Takatora, Project Manager at Yggdrasil Corporation. Armored Rider Zangetsu.

[matsubokkuri]

[Unexpected acquiescence! Is this because he called you creepy?]

I'm Hase Ryouji, leader of Team Raid Wild.

Can't say it's really nice to meet you, though.

[doesntfallfar]

I don't expect it to be. [flatly]

[ryuugen]

[folding my arms, a little defensive]

...I just like to know about people.

[matsubokkuri]

[scowling]

Yeah, well, I'm not stupid enough to go talking about my personal stuff with a competitor!

[matsubokkuri]

Well... good! Because... It's not!

[doesntfallfar]

What you think of me doesn't matter. It's what everyone else thinks of us that is the topic here.

[ryuugen]

That's a pity.
