[Ah. Truthfully, he expected something like this would happen if Gundam and Nonon continued to interact. He wasn't aware that they actually had, however. But now that he's hearing it from the source itself, he can't help but feel a little guilty.]
[He was the one who had introduced them, after all. Not formally, sure, but...she wouldn't have a clue who Gundam was if it wasn't for him.]
Sorry. I should have known better than to introduce you to her...
[That...kind of hurts too, Kuzuryuu. It's the same kind of concept, just without plainly stated insults to his face. You should have known better than to introduce them because of how he is, because she's the type of person to harass him for the same reason.]
It's nothing to apologize for. The most she is is annoying.
[With a snort he takes his turn to toss some piece of medical equipment across the hall, enjoying the satisfying clang as the metal strikes one of the cabinets before falling to the ground.]
[Well, to be fair, she harasses everyone. But yeah, Gundam's particular brand of eccentricity was bound to cause more problems. He said it with the best intentions, he promises! Even if it...really kind of is a backhanded insult as well. Oops.]
Tch, I told you she wasn't my rival right from the start. Dunno why you thought she was. Like I could even have a rivalry with a normal person. ["Normal" meaning "not yakuza", of course] But even if I could, a rivalry is one of the very last things I'm looking for right now.
[Right down there with a romantic relationship. Ain't nobody got time for that, especially in this situation they're in right now.
Beyond that. It's possible to be competitive without the witty banter involved. Especially considering nomenclatures such as "Little Boss" and "Mini Maestro". Both classic signs of a rivalry accepted by both participants.
Th-that was the first and only time I've called her that!! [AND NOW HE NEVER WILL AGAIN.] I was just trying to get back at her for calling me "Little Boss" all the goddamn time.
[Well at least it's not just Gundam who gets a shitty nickname that she won't stop using?]
I thought maybe she'd quit doing it. Shoulda known better...

She is not a fitting rival for you.

[Though he's got no comment on not being interested, or not having a rivalry with a "normal" person.]

[Look at this smirk.]
Good. Should you ever decide to seek a nemesis, you deserve far better than that cretin.
[He could be your rival!!!]

Yeah, well...thanks for the vote of confidence, but that's not going to be changing any time soon if I have anything to say about it.
