Because I am a sadistic gamer, and I really loathe Childerich. Earlier on, thanks to
ezelthecheezel's suggestion, I'm having sadistic fun now. >D *snerk* You can have Belcoot OR Richard duel against Childerich. Spoilers below! 8D
I'm actually playing Suiko5 as I type this, so I'm recording down what happens after the cutscene.
Belcoot: Please wait. Your Highness need not cross swords with the likes of him. Allow me to handle this. Allow me to avenge the humiliation I suffered at the Sacred Games final!
Richard: If anyone was humiliated, it was me. I lost my match because someone drugged me! Boy, was Mueller upset! This guy's the Sacred Games winner, right? I bet I could make Mueller happy if I take care of him once and for all. Let me handle this.
Yuki: You do it, Belcoot / He's all yours, Richard.
xx Belcoot xx
Belcoot: Shut up and fight.
Childerich: You were the one in the Sacred Games I couldn't fight to the death with, right?! You'll die a slow and painful death! And so will the rest of you! At last, my bloodlust shall be SATISFIED!!!
Belcoot: What the?!
Childerich: Gaaahh...
Georg: What's he drinking?!
Childerich: Ack... Glaaahhh...
Shoon: I have a bad feeling about this!
Childerich: Kill... Kill... KILLLLLLLLL repeatx10 KAAAAAARGHHHHH!!!
xx Richard xx
Richard: Okay, you can count on me. *smiling portrait*
Childerich: So, you're Richard from the Lindwurm Mercenary Brigade? I wasn't expecting a...pansy like you!
Richard: I hear that all the time.
Childerich: I'm going to SLICE that foppish look right off your face! You'll die a slow and painful death! And so will the rest of you!
*the dialogue after that is the same as Belcoot's*
Richard: Well, what do you know, he wasn't such a big deal after all. *CUE THE MOST PANSIEST VICTORY POSE EVER: Smiling innocently, crossing his legs and standing like a girl while folding his arms*
*resumes playing* 8D
