He wasn't sure where he stood anymore on that. He'd never thought he was the arrogant type until Kenji had finally called him on it a few months after that fateful meeting at the clan house that had been nearly destroyed by Love Machine's attack on OZ. And he still wasn't entirely sure he agreed on the assessment. A part of him just wanted to believe that even if he no longer held the title he was just that good and Love Machine had only won by way of cheating and power mongering the very system it had hacked.
But there was a lot about the world beyond OZ and the OMC that Kazuma had just ignored for so damn long. The longer he was in the port, with Nadeko and his new found friends, the more he began to question of maybe Kenji had a point. It wasn't like the older boy was any more mature or well versed in the world than he was, but to be the one to call him out on it...
A sigh escaped him for some reason he didn't fully understand (what was there to be moody about all of a sudden?) and he stood, giving Kana another pet before moving in to the kitchen to get his own drink - a can of soda from the fridge.
"Well... for what it's worth... I'm glad you do win most of the time."
