[ WHAT HAPPENED TO PRIDE... clearly Taichi doesn't have any, since he's peacing out of this fight without looking too upset that he got his ass handed to him by a 7 year-old. The kid in question looks at both of these older people like he can't even believe this is happening. ]

Good luck bein' the flower crown king, kiddo!

[ Taichi's day to shine will come another day... never.

With that done (and with the child turning and trotting off to find his actual parents), Taichi levels another full-faced grin at Mafuyu. ]

Guess we lost the battle but we're gonna win the war? [ ??? that's not true at all, but ok ] —I'm Taichi, by the way!
