Takumi: Haah! Gaah!
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!
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.
