## Script

* **Sho**: Whew... You guys managed to take down this *Kaiju*, too, huh.
* **Yuta**: Yeah. It's all thanks to everyone's help.
* **Rikka Mama**: Ah, thank goodness! The place is safe... Huh? Rikka? Rikka!?
* **Sho**: Ngh--! Rikka's mom is back! We better keep Gridman a secret from her. It'll only make things more complicated otherwise.
* **Yuta**: Y-yeah, got it.
* **Gridman**: Understood.
* **Sho**: You too, Calibur-san.
* **Samurai・Calibur**: Mm-hm.
* **Sho**: And especially you, Gridman. You can be heard by other people now, so...
* **Gridman**: Right.
* **Rikka Mama**: Rikka!?
* **Yuta**: Umm, she just went outside. To see if her friends are safe and stuff...
* **Rikka Mama**: Oh, you boys are here again? Sorry for not getting tea ready -- Not! It's a *Kaiju*! A *Kaiju* just came out and fought with a giant guy, like, BANG and BOOM and there's fire everywhere!
* **Sho**: Ah... Yes... Right...
* **Rikka Mama**: And why're you so calm? It's a*Kaiju*, you know! You're not surprised!?
* **Sho**: I *am* surprised, but...
* **Rikka Mama**: Well, you don't look surprised at all! Isn't your reaction a bit weak? Is this, like, a generation gap or what?
* **Sho**: We were born in the twenty-first century, so... Right?
* **Yuta**: Uh... Well, yes. Something like that...
* **Rikka Mama**: But anyone normal would be surprised by a *Kaiju*, right!?
* **Yuta**: This was the second time we've seen a *Kaiju*, so...
* **Rikka Mama**: S-second--
* **Sho**: You idiot! Oh, no no no no, I'm really surprised! *Kaiju*! It's the first time I've seen it! Right!?
* **Rikka Mama**: I know, right? A real *Kaiju* just came out and all. I don't even know if I'll process all that by tomorrow...
* **Yuta**: You'll probably forget everything by tomorrow though...
* **Rikka Mama**: How can I forget!? This is a big incident--
* **Sho**: Yuta! Just shut up for a bit. You're only making things more complicated.
* **Yuta**: Uh -- sorry.
* **Rikka** Mama: Hmm? And who might this gentleman be?
* **Yuta**: *This?*
* **Gridman**: I am Hyper Agent Gridman--
* **Sho**: OH NO NO NO NO--!
* **Rikka Mama**: What was that super handsome voice just now?
* **Sho**: Th-that's my voice! I'm -- I want to be a voice actor!
* **Rikka Mama**: For anime?
* **Sho**: Yes! Anime! That's why I gotta practice a bunch'a voices! Yes, that's it!
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) You can't do that, Gridman! You have to act like a second-hand PC!
* **Gridman**: Apologies.
* **Rikka Mama**: Damn, that's a nice voice.
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) It's fine, it's fine. It's just one blunder so far.
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) This is too serious for any blunders, though...
* **Rikka Mama**: So... who is that gentleman with the katanas?
* **Sho**: Oh, *him*! This is... well... An acquaintance, or should I say colleague...
* **Samurai・Calibur**: I'm Samurai・Calibur.
* **Rikka Mama**: Samurai?
* **Sho**: Gah, this is only getting weirder!
* **Yuta**: He's not anyone suspicious, really! He's an ally, even! Like... A reliable... weapon!
* **Rikka Mama**: *Weapon?*
* **Sho**: No no no no, not weapon! Warrior! Yes, warrior! You know, because he's a samurai! (*to Yuta in his head*) Yuta, you really need to shut up!
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) Sorry...
* **Gridman**: I trust that you will not talk about me as well?
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) Yes...
* **Rikka Mama**: Oh... a samurai, huh? This might be the first time I've seen one! If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? You look pretty young and all...
* **Samurai・Calibur**: I'm thirty-three.
* **Yuta and Sho**: (*in their heads*) He said it just like that!?
* **Rikka Mama**: Oh... A 33-years old samurai, huh? Mm-hm... very nice! ...Are you doing alright?
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) And now she's worried...
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) Motherly instinct at work, huh...
* **Rikka Mama**: I mean... do you intend to keep on being a samurai, going forward?
* **Samurai・Calibur**: *Samurai・Calibur* is my name.
* **Rikka Mama**: Oh, of course! Sorry for misunderstanding! Of course, it's a name! Right... No way you're a real samurai! It's the twenty-first century, for cryin' out loud!
* **Sho**: Oh, it's just his name! I actually thought for a bit that he was a real samurai. He looks the part, too...
* **Yuta**: What, just because he's got katanas with him?
* **Sho**: I mean, his looks totally fit the old dialect, right? *You have my thanks*, and stuff.
* **Yuta**: Oh c'mon, I'm sure he doesn't say that... You don't, right, Calibur-san?
* **Samurai・Calibur**: Mm-hm.
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) Damn... This man doesn't go with the flow...
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) Man, and I had my hopes up for a bit, too...
* **Gridman**: You have my thanks.
* **Rikka Mama**: Hmm?
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) Whoa whoa whoa -- What kind of lousy timing was that!?
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) Well, Gridman thought that it was best to play along, so...
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) And you've been siding with Gridman way too much! Don't get on your high horse just 'cause you can *Access Flash*, dammit!
* **Rikka Mama**: *Now, you boys...*
* **Yuta and Shou**: Ngh--!
* **Rikka Mama**: Want to have dinner at our place? We're having *motsunabe* tonight.
* **Yuta**: D-dinner...?
* **Rikka Mama**: Mm-hm.
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) Nope. Let's not. Rikka-san definitely wouldn't like that.
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) She won't take it well, yeah. Let's turn down the offer.
* **Sho**: Well... thanks for the offer, ma'am, but I think my place is making dinner today. We'll just excuse ourselves now!
* **Yuta**: E-excuse us~!
* **Rikka Mama**: Oh, yeah? See you later! Ah, what about you, Calibur-san? Would you like to eat with us?
* **Samurai・Calibur**: Mm-hm.
* **Yuta**: (*in his head*) Whoa, he's actually gonna eat.
* **Sho**: (*in his head*) Unbelievable. He's actually accepting a meal invitation from someone he just met.
* '*Rikka Mama*: Make yourself at home and eat all you want, Cali-chan!
* **Samurai・Calibur**: *Cali-chan*?
* **Rikka Mama**: Do you have anything you can't eat? Anything you don't like?
* **Samurai・Calibur**: Sweet bean paste...
* **Rikka Mama**: Oh, no worries. 'Tis *motsunabe* we're talkin' about. There won't be any bean paste.
* **Samurai・Calibur**: You have my thanks.
* **Sho**: He said it! He just said it!
* **Yuta**: He *does* go with the flow, after all!
* **Sho**: This guy's cool, man... Uh, I mean... Look, let's just go home. Stay any longer and we'll end up playing along. It'll go on forever.
* **Yuta**: Right... Well, excuse us!
* **Sho**: Thanks for having us!
* **Rikka Mama**: Well, give it your best, Utsumi-kun.
* **Sho**: Yes? At what?
* **Rikka Mama**: I mean, you want to be a voice actor, right? I'll be cheering for you!
* **Sho**: Um... Well...
* **Gridman**: I'll give it my best.
* **Rikka Mama**: Ooh, your voice is sounding great! You'll make a good voice actor, I'm sure!
* **Sho**: Will I really...?
* **Rikka Mama**: Or how about a ventriloquist?
* **Sho**: Hmm...
