THE... OTHER PAIR.

----
[Sumire]

Oh~hohohoho!! Ensign! Did you see that? Honestly, with the power of the Jinbu augmenting my already-graceful skills, I have become the very apex of perfection!
[Ogami]

... huh? Oh, yeah, great, that's swell, Sumire-kun, you took down one Kouma all by yourself.
[Sumire]

...
[Kanna]

Hahaha! Don't sweat it! Me and Maria are totally a tough act to follow, y'know.
[Sumire]

I... I cannot decide what is worse: the fact that I cannot refute your logic or your butchery of grammar.
[Kanna]

Huh? Talkin' what you are?
[Sumire]

... right. The latter.
----

... and Sakura.

[Ogami]

... y'know, Sakura-kun, for a holy cherry blossom sword technique thing, that's... a pretty messy result.
[Sakura]

Saving the world from demons is a dirty job, Ogami-san, but someone's got to do it.
[Ogami]

Isn't there kind of a difference between "dirty" and "disturbingly violent"?
[Sakura]

But how can you derive any enjoyment from your job if the enemy isn't spurting blood every which way, Ogami-san?
[Ogami]

Um. Employee-of-the-month awards?
[Sakura]

...
[Ogami]

... a-actually, wait, um, scratch that. More incentives for competition would just turn the theater into a bloodbath. We STILL haven't gotten the blood out of the carpets from that actress popularity contest.
----

And last but not least...

The man himself. No, not Yoneda.

[Kanna]

... that was fucking metal.
[Sumire]

Ensign, you are quite a skilled pilot for someone who's never flown a... a whatever sort of craft the Jinbu would be classified as.
[Ogami]

Really? I dunno, it seemed a lot like driving a tank to me. You just obey the rules of the road.
[Maria]

Excuse me, Captain?
[Ogami]

You know- never hit the brakes, always look both ways before crossing the road, and crush any obstacle smaller than you under the ironshod treads of your tank.
[Maria]

Kohran, you're giving him actual flying lessons when we get back.
[Kohran]

Ah dunno, it seemed 'bout right t' me! 'Sides, he ain't hurtin' anyone but himself and every single winged enemy we'll bump into, right?
[Maria]

... true, an airborne collision WOULD only work in our favor...
----

----

... y'know, he COULD have the grace to act just a BIT surprised about the fact that we're currently his previously undefeatable army a new breathing hole.
Unless this is all somehow part of his master plan, asskicking-receiving and all.

----

[Ogami]

Right, here we go, everyone! We're showing him the fruits of our special training!!
[Maria]

From that special training, I have gained the strength to conquer my weaknesses.
Now, my eyes will reflect only your dying bodies.
Maria Tachibana. Remember that name. Spread it through Hell.

...

...
----
[Ogami]

U-Um. Y-You WERE talking to the demons, right, Maria? Please?
[Maria]

...
[Ogami]

...

----
[Ogami]

T-That's not an actual-
[Ogami]

... let's just kill some demons.
