CLAN - Episode 1

Noah: Leon.
About what Agata-san mentioned the other day…

Leon: You're talking about the Chaos World incident that the MadGuy encountered, aren’t you?

When Mightus, Ulseven’s Might of Mask, appeared.

Noah: Yes. I think we should share this information with everyone from each class as soon as possible.

It's possible that Chaosism is on the move again. [1]

Leon: Hehe… Noah-sama, you’re steadily growing as an Agent!

I, your humble butler, Leon Aijo, have dedicated myself to you. It's truly rewarding to see how far you've come!

[1st choice: It’s no big deal…!]

Leon: I've witnessed it with my very own eyes, so I'm not mistaken!

Then, allow me to take care of the arrangements for the Second Rider Summit! [2]

Noah: Will the leaders finally gather this time?

[A few days later — The day of the Rider Summit]

Leon: To all class leaders! I deeply thank you for attending the “Second Rider Summit” amidst your busy schedules.

Jigen: Sorry. I will be attending for Justice Ride instead of our leader, Iori.

Leon: Gamo-sama?

Jigen: Yeah. Iori is currently away on a business trip as requested by the Kamen Rider Co. [3]

Don't worry. I will take responsibility and report everything that will be discussed in the meeting to Iori and all the members of my class.

Leon: Thank you, Gamo-sama, you’re reliable.

Jo: As for Wisdom Thinks, I will be stepping in instead of Soun.

Leon: Why you, Jo-sama?

Jo: Uhm—
Our Manager is really busy at the store…

Leon: Is that really why?

Jo: I was told something like “Instead of playing around with women, you should do some work for our class.”

Leon: …. Is that so…

Uryu: My apologies, but I will once again attend as the representative of Tower Emblem's leader, Takato Taiten. [4]

Leon: If I remember correctly, his schedule was booked for three whole months, right?

Uryu: Yes…

[BLAM]

Noah: ?!

Leon: —What on earth was that?!

???: Sorry for being late!

Kyosuke: I will be attending for MadGuy!

Leon: Is Agata-sama, who kindly attended as the only leader last time, also absent this time?

Noah: Araki-kun, did something happen?

Kyosuke: Agata-aniki was all set to attend, but, you know. The old man at the fish market where he works came down with a high fever. [5]

So, I’ll be attending in his place.

Leon: Is that so…

Kyosuke: What? You not satisfied with me or somethin’?

Leon: No, I didn’t mean it like that…

Noah: But Araki-kun, you were quite late weren’t you?

Kyosuke: Yeah. On my way here, I was passing by and saw a gramma being bothered by som’ delinquents' so I had to intervene. [6]

I ended up getting caught in between those punks and helping out gramma with her bags and other things.

Noah: Hahaha, I see…

Leon: Ahem. Um…
Are all the members here already?

Justice Ride, Madguy, Wisdom Thinks, Tower Emblem….

… Looks like we’re missing someone?

Rui: Ah— shit.
I missed out on the login bonus…

Leon: Rui-sama?!
You were here the whole time?

Rui: You don't have to shout so loudly, I can hear you. I was here from the very start.

Leon: Pardon me… Thank you for attending as the Leader of Slam Days!

Rui: …Just start already.

Leon: …..and about the recent events, we were informed by Agata-sama the other day.

Jo: Hmmm… A Chaostone that created a Chaos World unlike anything we’ve encountered before…

Leon: As I’ve mentioned in the previous Summit, Ulseven is becoming more active and is on the move.

… Araki-sama.

Kyosuke: Ha?

Leon: Regarding this matter, Agata-sama and Araki-sama were in the same Chaos world, correct?

Kyosuke: Ah, yeah.

Leon: Have you noticed anything particular about this new Chaos World?

Since we have all Kamen Riders gathered here, it would be great if you could give an explanation to what happened during that time.

Kyosuke: Explain… it’s kinda tough, ya know? But it looks like our clothes have changed or somethin’.

Jigen: Your clothes changed?
What do you mean?

Kyosuke: It's like the chaos world was a world straight out of a Yakuza movie, you know?

Jigen: A Yakuza Movie? [7]

Kyosuke: Yeah. Once we entered the Chaos World, even the clothes we were wearing changed into the ones you see in movies.

Event: Ninkyo Eiga Den

Jo: I see… So it’s the impact the Chaostone had on the Chaos World. Interesting…

Uryu: But I'm still not quite clear on the matter. So, what exactly will that change for us?

Kyosuke: Even if you ask me that… I'm just telling you what happened.

Jigen: Was there anything else that changed?

Kyosuke: Lemme think…
Oh, there was a talking Katana.

Jigen: It’s not unusual, though.

Kyosuke: No, it's not just that. That Katana seemed to know something about Aniki’s past.

Rui: … His past?

Jo: Interesting that you'd show interest after staying out of it until now.
Do you have some kind of past you're curious about?

Rui: … It’s not like that.

Leon: Rui-sama, do you have any reports or suggestions?

Whether it's about this issue or events in the Entertainment District, which is the base operations for Slam Days. I'm open to discussing anything.

Rui: ….It’s not like I care. I don’t know nor care about whatever is happening in the Entertainment District.

Jigen: Hey, Rui.

Rui: Huh?

Jigen: You're the leader of Slam Days, right? How about taking this meeting more seriously!

Uryu: I agree. It's honestly uncomfortable when you're sitting here playing on your smartphone instead of participating in the discussion.

Rui: ...Stop making so much noise.
I'm just here because I lost a draw, that's all.

Jigen: Wha… !
A draw…?!

Rui: I don't know about other classes, but Slam Days’ motto is freedom.

Just because I’m a leader doesn't mean that it’s my job to do things like this.

Kyosuke: What’s up with that?
Instead of ‘Freedom,' isn't it more like ‘Laziness’ at this point? [8]

Rui: ....Whatever, whether I attend the meeting or not is my call, right? Just let me do my thing.

Noah: Now, now, everyone. Let’s all calm down.

[After the Rider Summit]

Leon:…With that being said.

We somehow managed to tell everyone about that unusual Chaostone and Chaos World, but...

Are they going to be okay? Especially Slam Days.

Noah: Well, Rui-san is free-spirited, so he doesn’t wanna be tied down to many responsibilities.

As a Kamen Rider though, his skills are top-notch.

Leon: According to the documents left by your Predecessor, Slam Days, led by Rui-sama, are said to "fight to pursue their own freedom."

Noah: Freedom, huh…
Thinking back on what Araki-kun mentioned…

[Flashback]

Kyosuke: No, it's not just that. That Katana seemed to know something about Aniki’s past

Rui: … His past?

Noah: Maybe Rui-san wants to retrieve his memories from the past, just like what Jo-san said.

….so that he can truly be free.

Leon: I see, that interpretation definitely makes sense.

Noah: …In any case, as agents, all we can do is believe and support Rui and everyone in Slam Days.

Let's focus on doing one thing at a time.

Leon: Absolutely...!
That's what makes you Noah-sama!

Next Episode | To Translation Masterlist

Translation Notes:

[1] {Main Story Spoilers} The event story took place shortly after the events of Main Story.
[2] A rider summit is a very important meeting that's arranged by Leon or the Agent. It's a discussion between leaders of each class and provides important information they've gathered throughout their investigation. The first Rider Summit happened in Ninkyo Eiga Den (MadGuy Event Story).
[3] This was after main story, where Justice Rider created a business for handymen, which is basiaclly helping people out/or that are in trouble and call themselves as "Kamen Riders" which is why their business is called "Kamen Rider Co." This business is separate from the investigations that Noah/Leon request from them.
[4] Uryu’s speech is generally polite and formal, he uses "すみません" (sumimasen) which is a more polite way to apologize than "gomen" (ごめん) so I tried putting more emphasis on his formal speech in the dialogue.
[5] Araki refers to Agata as "阿形の兄貴" (Agata no aniki) meaning Big bro Agata but I kept it as Aniki.
[6] There’s a different spelling with Araki’s sentence here where he said ば一ちゃん (baa-chan) instead of ばあちゃん (oba-chan) so I translated grandma as “gramma” for his rough speech.
[7] 任侠 (Ninkyo) on its own, is translated as Chivalry but it’s a term associated with Yakuza (organized crime) culture. 任侠映画 (ninkyo eiga) on the other hand is a kind of Yakuza-focused film that focuses around the themes of duty/honor. MadGuy was involved in a Chaos World that was like a Ninkyo-eiga hence the event name “Movie Tales of Chivalry and Madness ~The Manly Path to Power~” You can read more about Yakuza-movies here (huge thank you to vera for explaining it to me!)

For Ninkyo-eiga Den story, you can read it here: Event Story: Battle with Honor and Humanity (by @DOCTORMIGHTYXX on twt)

[8] テキトー (tekito) is a word that Kyosuke used which can mean two things but in this context is a gesture that someone isn’t putting everything in their role or just half-assing it what they’re supposed to do hence the word ‘Laziness’.
