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!
