[x2]BWHOOP
<19>

[margin]Naked eye
=He's not as skilled as I am, but he's got skills. And he's not as smart as I am, but he's got smarts.
=I'd like to think we're on even ground. Whoever finds the other first wins, but...

=What should I do—?
[x3]PANT—
=He hasn't moved, huh? Master.
=You did well, Taiko. Stealing his supplies like that.
=Tee-hee, thought I might as well go for it.
=If you kill Desert Punk, you'll get famous and the job offers will come flying in.
=You've got the skills, Master. But it's a shame you're too nice to run a business—
=Hah-hah-hah, no need to remind me.
=Wow—There's lots of stuff in here.
=Looks like this bag is his little treasure chest.
[x2]SHUFF
=...Hmm?
=What's this thing?
<26>
I-I can't stand this any longer... I'm gonna die...
Shit... I hate to admit it, but that guy's a real pro. He doesn't waste any energy. He's cool. He's dry.

PLO—P
PLOP
=Ahhh... 1 balloon—
UCK
=*sob sob...* 2 balloons—
=Those balloons are really hard to deflate once they're like that, you know...
=And that 7-pack rainbow smoke screen I finally convinced myself into buying...//Ahh, they're so pretty—
<30>
=I knew they could get stolen anytime—
[x2]SOB
=In a lawless desert like this...
=So I put that bomb on thinking,//I'd rather see them blow up than have someone else use them...
WHOO—SH
[x4]SHIVER
=I put that bomb on thinking, I'd never be stupid enough to actually let someone steal it—
=So I never thought I'd actually have to use the bomb—!

=Wha—!? Again!?
PSHH—
BLEH

UCK—!
=I've been to hell and back using every single situation to my advantage.

[keep typo]=Hmph, it's probably just another balloo...
<32>
THUCK
WHACK
BASH
It's the real one~
=Hmph.
=You were aiming for the rifle—? Serves you right for trying to look good. That's why you're a whiny-ass amateur.
=I would've gone straight for the kill instead of saying Hi like that.
<33>
=M-Master...
=The master lost...!
STARE
UCK..
=AHH—You're going to rape me, aren't you—!
=*...sigh...*
=All my brand new equips are all busted up now.
=It's all this guy's fault! I'm taking everything he owns!
=Shit, he doesn't have anything good. This won't even cover the repair costs for the M40.
U-Uhh~
=I don't feel like a winner at all.
[margin]Space
=You can follow me for as long as you want, but no means no, alright?
<34>
=I won't take no for an answer!
=...I don't want to see your face.
=It brings back painful memories.
=Please take me in as your student! I want to become stronger!
GRIP
=I'm never going to leave your side until you take me in as your student!//After too, I mean.
=I'll do anything you say, Master!
=Even perverted stuff!
You have no integrity, do you.
=I'm not interested in bony flat-chested chicks.
[x2]GACHUK
[x2]WOBBLE
