"I'm not going to duel that guy by myself. Instead, I want to duel him together with you."
"Eh?"
"After you lectured me, I carefully thought things over, and came to the conclusion that it was indeed too arrogant of me to want to singlehandedly take on Akatsuki Mitarai. Also, I didn't take your pride into consideration," Seiji said seriously while looking at Natsuya. "Just as he said, he's your opponent. For me to want to duel him and make you into a mere spectator was truly foolish of me. I shouldn't have taken the main role away from you. You're the real person that should be dealing with Akatsuki Mitarai, while I should only be your companion… That is to say, the correct way is for me to fight together with you against Akatsuki, just like when we fought together against Okubo Yoshiaki."
Natsuya didn't know what to say after hearing all this.
