Tougen Anki Gaiden, chapter 2 translation
2 The process or the result?
Box: Momotarou Agency Training School 1st year Momokado Ousuke
Box: Momotarou Agency Training School 1st year Momoka Tsukuyomi
Ousuke: Hey, Tsukuyomi... why the hell are you here?
Tsukuyomi: I could ask you the same. We both got suspended from school as punishment for using our Momo powers at a crowded place the other day... but by no means it should mean that we have to run into each other outside school everywhere we go...
Mother: Don't look!
Tsukuyomi: It looks like you and I really might be tied together with invisible something.
Tsukuyomi: By the way, are your injuries okay?
Ousuke: Woah?! Don't follow me!! I've nothing to say to you!
Tsukuyomi: Don't be so cold. (Stuck my landing just fine) I offered you to go hunt oni together, remember?
Ousuke: Forget that and better tell me why the hell the stilts?! Is it on purpose and you're waiting for me to comment on them?!
Tsukuyomi: They're the gool luck item. Fortune telling is great, Ousuke. I'll tell you all about its greatness. We'll start with a budding fortuneteller's staple - the tarot cards...

Tsukuyomi: ...What are you...
Ousuke: Listen up, Tsukuyomi. I hate fools like you. The other day you prattled about loving fighting like me, so let me say this: don't you lump me together with yourself. All you love is just the high places.
Tsukuyomi: ...What?
Ousuke: You said it yourself, didn't ya? That fighting is about the result and not the process. To you, fighting is just a means to obtain the result you desire, that is the feeling of superiority. It's completely different from how it is for me because I find my fun in the fighting itself. So don't ya go spouting bullshit like you love fighting when you don't enjoy the process, you damn casual. I don't care if you use fighting to assert your dominance... but don't you ever speak to me about loving fighting ever again!
Tsukuyomi: I see... My bad then. You really seem to love fighting from the bottom of your heart. In which case, allow me to say something too. In my opinion, not striving to achieve the appropriate result in something you love is a complete and utter waste, you see, Ousuke.
Ousuke: ...Waste?
Tsukuyomi: Like you said, enjoying the process is important. However... A person who doesn't care about winning or losing will always be weak. Because such a person, to whom the process has become the goal itself, simply cannot hope to grow and develop. Thus, he will only be stuck repeating the same low dimension scuffles over and over again.
Ousuke: Haah?! Are you talking about me, Tsukuyomi?!
Tsukuyomi: It's only the truth though, no? At present you ARE weaker than me.
Ousuke: Then I'll show you which of us is the weaker one right here and now! Fight me, ya jerk!
Tsukuyomi: Haa sigh... I did remind you that Momo are forbidden from fighting one another, didn't I... But all right, enough is enough... I'm getting quite irritated here myself.
Both: I'm gonna | I'm going to kill...
RandoOni: Uh. | Uooooo! | Aaaaaah!
Itonaga: Kill them.
Ousuke: ...Now, getting back to what we were talking about...
Tsukuyomi: No, no, that can wait. First, what were these oni? We just went and beat them in the heat of the moment, but...
Ousuke: Huh? Who cares? We took care of them, so it's all good.
Tsukuyomi: No, it's not good. They targeted and attacked us specifically. Besides, wasn't there a third one with them at the beginning?
Itonaga: I see. I now more or less have a grasp on those two's power level... I alone should be more than enough for dealing with the both of them.
