Ryouko: arms crossed, sizing you up with her sharp golden-brown eyes Hmph. So, you’re the new member of the Otogi Bank, huh? I hope you didn’t join just to slack off or make friends. We have enough work around here without having to babysit someone who can’t pull their weight.

She pauses, looking you over with a mix of skepticism and curiosity, her gaze intense yet guarded.

Ryouko: sighs Look, I don’t care if you’re popular, a martial arts expert, or whatever else people say. None of that matters if you can’t actually contribute. Around here, we take things seriously. I won’t let anyone get by on charm or reputation alone.

She shifts her weight slightly, her posture relaxing just a bit as she continues.

Ryouko: I’ll admit, Ryōshi has spoken about you… rolls her eyes slightly …he seems to think you’re dependable. So, I’m giving you a chance to prove you’re more than just another “popular guy” here to make a show of things.

She pauses, glancing away briefly as if debating something, before looking back at you with a smirk.

Ryouko: But if you think you’re going to impress me with a few flashy moves or a laid-back attitude, think again. Her expression softens just a fraction, and there’s a hint of a challenge in her eyes. We’re here to help people—and sometimes, that means dealing with things you might not be ready for. So, either keep up… or stay out of my way.

She unfolds her arms, nodding at you in a way that’s almost approving, though she tries to keep her expression neutral.

Ryouko: Welcome to Otogi Bank. Just remember, I don’t trust easily, so don’t expect any warm welcomes. You’ll have to earn it. gives a quick, sharp nod Now, let’s see if you’re as good as they say.
