It’s really not my style

“Marisa:
Long time no see.

Meiling:
Hey, when did we get acquainted?

Marisa:
A moment ago, right?

Meiling:
Oh no, I’ve met a real crazy girl.

Marisa:
Whatever. You’re in the way. You’re the guardman, right?

Meiling:
That’s why I’m in the way.

Marisa:
So you ARE the guardman!

Meiling:
I’m just a normal person who guards.

Marisa:
So, you’re normal. I’ll just defeat you, then.

Meiling:
How did your parents raise you?

Meiling defeated

Marisa:
It’s really not my style to battle normal people.”
