Summary: Based on episode 33. Ryo chatted with his customers about Gai.
A/N: Cos it gets boring if we just talk about what the senpai-tachi feels about Gokai-tachi, and this chapter's all about Gai anyway so I'm having my boys gossip about him. And yes, since I was lazy to look up other Dairanger's personalities so I cheat. I'd better use what I knew from all that Hurriken marathoning I did after all. ಠ_ಠ
-----------------------
"I wanted to become a hero... in order to protect everyone!”
It was a relief to be able to guide that young boy to remember back the important things about being a Super Sentai member. Because certainly, a transformation device was not the only proof that you are one... nor was it the only indicator to allow you to fight as one. A transformation device was only there to allow you to change into a suitable form that allows you to fight better. That power that allows you to fight as part of the Super Sentai, it comes from your own self.
Well, perhaps for young Ikari Gai... this kind of thinking was not something he would have thought off right away. “Here you are, two sets of gyoza. And another one to bring home for your friend.”
One of the young men started flailing his arm around as he started to sputter. “No-no! I can't really call him a f-f-f-!”
The other one started slapping the other as the younger man started chiding him. “Can you cut that out already? Both of you had got so close you barely called him Tono that much! Take it easy... Ryunosuke!”
Ryunosuke glared at Chiaki before smiling at Ryo. “Thank you for wrapping this up. Tono would definitely be able to appreciate this, along with Hikoma-san. If Hime-sama happened to be around as well, that should be great as well.”
“You started again, Ryunosuke!” chided Chiaki as Ryunosuke hissed at him.
“I can't help it when I started being conscious about it! Anyway... Ryo-san! Did something bothering you?” asked the former ShinkenBlue as Ryo shrugged.
“Ah no... it was nothing. Just thinking about one of those Gokai young ones. They were around sometime earlier, you know? I was just wondering about that boy that joined those pirates, that silver one.”
Another pair of customers entered as the small bell rang.
“Ah! You mean Gai-kun?” said the newcomer as they took a seat nearby. The three of them turned around as Ryunosuke shrugged.
“Oh! Yousuke-san... Shishi-san! What a nice coincidence!”
Both of the older men greeted back to them as Ryo started to return to the kitchen to prepare another few set of gyoza orders. Kakeru started to laugh.
“Now what a good day was this! I did not expect to have many kinds of reunions set on this day! I only thought of spending time with Yousuke seeing that I happened to see him today. It's been a while, eh... Ryunosuke-kun, Chiaki-kun?”
Chiaki grinned. “Yeah, since that last fight. Ryunosuke and I just thought of having some good gyoza today... and since we know that Ryo-san's shop was here-”
Ryo came out with Yousuke's and Kakeru's orders before laughing.
“Enough flattering me... here you go...”
Yousuke nodded as he looked up from his plate. “So what about Gai-kun?” he started asking.
Ryo shrugged. “Well... that kid was depressed for a while. His Gokai Cellular got swallowed and he started throwing negativities around. But his friends had helped him out so things ended up well. I said some words to him and he managed to change the way he's thinking.”
Yousuke started humming to himself. “Oooh! So I supposed that kid got depressed very badly, huh?”
“What do you mean by that, Yousuke?” Kakeru started to ask as Yousuke sighed.
“The other day when Saturakura Jr. and Sandahl Jr. appeared, that kid sorta started lecturing us... you know? Because that time we've yet to start trusting them and we couldn't just suddenly and blindly give them our Grand Powers so we asked for our Ranger Keys to save the other three Gokai. That kid started to snap after that. Seeing that first hand, well... I can see that kid had a lot of spirit.”
Ryo nodded. “His thoughts were a bit extreme though, I myself felt overwhelmed by that kind of emotion.”
Chiaki chuckled. “Hehe... I wonder if that kid mopes like you did, Ryunosuke,” he said as Ryunosuke elbowed him.
“What're you comparing with me? That time when Futagawara swallowed my phone, I was worried about Shintaro! I was not moping over the Shodophone! I left that to you guys to recover!”
Chiaki glared back at him. “At least you could tell us that before, you know! We did thought you were depressed about the Shodophone!”
“Now, now... don't fight,” said Ryo as he started patting Ryunosuke's head. “Young Gai's depression was actually even worse than that, poor thing couldn't stop talking about how useless he was after losing his transformation device. Said something about not being able to fight any more like he used to... ah, at least now he stopped thinking like that. I've managed to make him recall the important thing about being a Super Sentai and that should be good for him.”
Yousuke whistled. “Aha... what simple assumption! Just because you could not transform, doesn't mean you cannot fight any more-”
Ryunosuke nodded in agreement. “I agree. Even as our own selves, we could still fight and protect what's important without the powers we used to have. Just because we could not transform, doesn't mean we've also forgotten how to fight.”
“Well, don't be too harsh on the kid yet. Gai-kun wasn't that bad. Although, he was a bit harsh talking back about me and my gyoza,” mused Ryo as Chiaki sneered.
“I envy that kid... some of us didn't have much choice in becoming a Super Sentai member-” Ryunosuke slapped him as Chiaki rolled his eyes at him.
Yousuke snorted. “And the kid wondered why it was hard for some of us to place trust on them. Haa...”
“But I guess... you put that kid back on track, Ryo-san?” said Kakeru before sipping on his tea. Ryo nodded as he sighed.
“Well, I did my part already. I've shown them a bit on what was the spirit of the Dairangers, so hopefully they'll carry that with them always. It's the only few things left that we could still do...”
“Heh, but the kid got it easy... isn't it, Shishi-san? Remember that time when you guys got kidnapped by the Jakanja and the Spears impersonating the Gaorangers? Man, that was trouble...” Kakeru leered at Yousuke as he grinned at him.
“Those Gokaigers still had a lot to learn, especially that silver one. But, thankfully... we don't have to worry about that. Our part's already done. Those guys would have to go earn the rest of the Grand Powers by themselves and as well as earning their senior's trust. We'll not be giving that so freely after all.”
“Well said, Shishi-san!” Chiaki cheered as Ryo chuckled.
“At least right now, I, Tenkasei Ryo entrust my will to those Gokaigers. But I'll admit they still need to work on their attitudes. So who's up for another round of Gyoza?”
Ryunosuke lifted his arm up. “I'll pass. Need to get to Shiba Mansion after this. But I'm sure Yousuke-san wants seconds.”
“You bet I am!” said Yousuke as Ryo handed down his plate. The older man smiled.
“World's best gyoza, eh?”
Yousuke winked back. “Yep, world's best!”
