4★ Kyosuke Araki - The Biggest, Baddest, Wildest (Part 2)

Kyosuke: Tch! All bark no bite!

Delinquent in a tokkofuku: Um…

Um... Thank you for helping me!

Kyosuke: I didn’t help ya or nothin'. I just couldn’t stand seein’ 'em ganging up on one person.

Delinquent in a tokkofuku: …That waas….

Kyosuke: Did ya say somethin’?

Delinquent in a tokkofuku: That was amazing!!

Ryugo: My name’s Ryugo. I’m the leader of a gang called "Mad Crimson Lotus of Nijigao" and we run this area in the Industrial District as our turf!

Noah: M-mad Crimson Lotus of Nijigao?

Ryugo: I admire your bravery and strength! Please let me call you 'Aniki'!

Noah: A-aniki?!

Kyosuke: …..

Ryugo: I wanna be strong just like you!

Kyosuke: Aniki huh… That doesn’t sound bad at all.

Noah: Huh…?

Kyosuke: Ryugo, huh? I like you! Glad to know ya!

Ryugo: Yessu! Our hideout’s just around here, so if you're interested, come visit us Aniki! Bring in your buddy too!

Noah: W-Wait, what do you mean by buddy...?

Kyosuke: Alright, let’s go!


[ —At the Hideout]

Mad Crimson Lotus Delinquent: Ryugo-san, good work out there! Who’s that with you?

Ryugo: This is Kyosuke Araki, the guy who helped me out earlier, and this is his buddy.

Mad Crimson Lotus Delinquent: Welcome to Mad Crimson Lotus of Nijigao! It’s a bit messy right now, but c’mon in!

Hey everyone, we’ve got a guest!

Noah: (They’re not as scary as I thought… actually, they’re giving us a warm welcome!?)

Children: Ohh!! Nice to meet you!

Noah: N-nice to meet you too~

Ryugo: Here, please have a seat.

Noah: Um… Ryugo-san.

Ryugo: What’s up, Noah-san?

Noah: What are those little kids doing in a place like this?

Ryugo: It started out with a main group of members 'round our age...

Before we knew it, this place turned into a sanctuary for those feelin' lost at school or dealin' with rough home lives. Basically, the outcasts.

Child A: Ryugo~! Come play with us~!

Ryugo: I keep tellin' ya to add 'san' after my name! We’ve got a guest here, so let’s play later!

Child B: Eh~! What’s with you, Ryugo~? You’re no fun~ Let’s goo!

Noah: This group feels really cozy and welcoming.

Ryugo: I kinda feel like it could be a little more serious, but... I was also an outcast at school and home too...

Kyosuke: ….

Ryugo: If this place has become a safe haven for them, then I’m cool with it.

More importantly, Aniki, I actually have a favor I’d like to ask you.

Kyosuke: Oh, what is it?

Ryugo: I’ll get straight to the point. I need you to train me!
