"Not lecturing...stating a point." Spanner was going to make it clear what he was doing especially with someone so good at twisting words to his own meanings. He couldn't say too much though if he wanted to remain neutral though it seemed that wasn't enough for Byakuran now. That alone is annoying he had told the man this before he even joined, but he knew the reason for this fact. With the others big plans for the mafia he didn't want any loose ends, which meant Spanner might be considered one.

"...Yeah. I'm just the mechanic." There was only a bluntness no bitterness though it might seem that way.

At the otaku comment he just gave the other a small smirk. "So? If I wasn't you wouldn't have the robots you do." That had a little of a bite. "I'll have fun in Japan with Shouichi." He didn't mean for that to come off as 'ha' but he's sure Byakuran will take it that way.
