Takumi: Haah! Gaah! $Wc

Ryoma: Watch your stance, Takumi!

Takumi: Gaah! YAAAAH!

Ryoma: All right. That's enough for today. You can lower your sword.

Takumi: Already?! Don't you have time for more?

Ryoma: What's gotten into you? I don't recall you taking your training so seriously before!

Takumi: Well, it's just that... Uh...

Ryoma: Come on. You can tell me.

Takumi: I want to beat you.

Ryoma: Beat me?

Takumi: One day you're going to be king, and I need to be strong enough to defend you. Right now, you're the one protecting me in battle! I've gotta earn a place by your side!

Ryoma: That's not how it works.

Takumi: Well, I can't rely on you all the time! I'm not a kid anymore.

Ryoma: Takumi, getting stronger is important, but it doesn't happen overnight. You can't rush it. I understand how you feel. I really do.

Takumi: I don't believe you!

Ryoma: Let's stop for today. I'll train you as much as I can, but not when you're like this.

Takumi: Ugh! Fine!

(Takumi leaves)

Ryoma: Takumi! Wait!

Ryoma: Are you ready to start training, Takumi?

Takumi: Yes!

Ryoma: Good. But first, there's something I want to say to you.

Takumi: Ryoma, if this is about the other day, I'm sorry...

Ryoma: There's no need to apologize. Actually, you made me very happy.

Takumi: I did?

Ryoma: Yes. I'm glad you want to fight by my side! ...But I need more than strong soldiers.

Takumi: Huh?

Ryoma: One day, I will rule all of Hoshido, and I'll need all of my siblings to support me. When that time comes, I need more than your strength on the battlefield.

Takumi: What do you mean?

Ryoma: I will need wise counselors. Takumi, have you thought about studying government?

Takumi: Government?

Ryoma: Yes. You are a skilled warrior, and you're only going to get stronger. ...But you're smart as well! With your sharp mind, you'd make an excellent advisor.

Takumi: Do you really think so?

Ryoma: I do. But I don't want you to pigeonhole yourself, Takumi. You have many skills. And I will need all of them—your mind, your loyalty, and your strength!

Takumi: Thanks, Ryoma. I guess I was worried over nothing. I thought if I wasn't the strongest warrior on the battlefield, I'd be worthless to you.

Ryoma: Not at all! Don't push yourself so hard. Most of all, Brother, I want you to be YOU.

Takumi: All right. I think I can do that.

Ryoma: Haha! I certainly hope so!

Takumi: *pant* ...I did it! I finally won a match!

Ryoma: Haha! You did. You beat me! Sure, it was only one match... But you've got momentum. At this rate, you may soon surpass me on the battlefield.

Takumi: Really?!

Ryoma: Well, you don't have to sound so happy about it!

Takumi: But that would be amazing! This is what I've been training for! ...Hey. Wait a minute!

Ryoma: What's wrong?

Takumi: You went easy on me today, didn't you? You were just trying to make me feel better!

Ryoma: Oh, is that what you think? Listen, Takumi... You're going to be one of the best soldiers Hoshido has ever seen. I can't afford to take your training lightly. I give you my all every time we practice.

Takumi: You do? Really?

Ryoma: Yes. Today, you beat me fair and square.

Takumi: Wow! I can't believe it!

Ryoma: This win should boost your confidence!

Takumi: Thanks, Ryoma. I'm so happy that I'm getting stronger! But I'm going to take your advice. I want to keep my options open. After the war's over, I plan to study government like you suggested.

Ryoma: I think that's a great idea.

Takumi: Will you promise to help me study?

Ryoma: Of course I will. I'm your big brother! It's my job to help you go after your dreams.
