2★ Lance Tendo - Slam Days Daze ~Lance Edition~ (Support Story)
Shizuru: Hey, Lance—
Lance: Do you need something?
Shizuru: Don’t you always pull out those weird-mouthed robot things when you fight?
Lance: They're not some weird-mouthed robot things, they’re Apollo and Libra! They have names, so call them by that.
Shizuru: Wait, they actually have names? Really? Lance is more diligent than I thought.
Rui: You give names to characters in games, right? Isn't that the same thing?
Lance: ……
Shizuru: I see~ Apollo and Libra are pretty smart, aren't they? They listen to everything that Lance says, right?
Lance: Well yeah, they are my Rise after all. [1]
Shizuru: So, what I mean is, could they maybe…
Turn into cleaning robots or something?
Lance: ?!
Shizuru: Oh, you know, they’re smart and pretty capable, so maybe they could even do our daily chores and stuff?
Lance: Hey, you can’t just use Kamen Rider powers for that kind of stuff…
Rui: ……
Shizuru: It’s rare to see you stand up so suddenly.
Rui: …. No, I haven't thought of that.
Shizuru: Haha, great idea right? Even the Leader thinks so too.. Lance, why don't you help us around?
Lance: ……
(The next time I transform with Apollo and Libra, I’ll make sure to teach those two a lesson…)
Translation Note:
[1] I don’t think I’ve ever explained it before, but a “Rise” is what a Rider uses during battle, it’s their weapon/equipment.
