Class Story - Slam Days (Part 1)
Rui: (...Ah, I’m really on fire today.)
(...Playing medal games at the arcade on a weekday afternoon.)
(...The coins keep stacking up, like there’s no sign of stopping.)
[A few hours later]
(...It’s been 10 hours, and the coins just keep coming. The arcade’s about to close soon.)
(...It’s a shame I can’t cash them in, but I played all day for just 500 yen. Definitely got my money’s worth.)
(...The only issue now is that my ass has gone numb from sitting in that chair for so long.)
(...Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten or drunk anything.)
(...Eating ramen late at night on my way back from the arcade. Sounds like it’s going to be another classic night.)
[ —Outside the Arcade]
Rui: (...Now, which Ramen shop should I hit up?)
Leon: ...Sigh, seriously... How long are you planning to make me wait, Rui-sama?
Rui: Hm? Butler…? What’re you talking about?
Leon: I had something to discuss with you, but you were so caught up in the game that I decided to wait until you were finished.
Rui: What? Since when?
Leon: Starting from 3:00PM
Rui: No way you waited that long.
Leon: It was for an important matter.
Rui: Then you should have just said something.
Leon: Yes, I thought about it many times. However, I could easily imagine you getting upset…
Rui: ……… Well………. I guess.
Leon: See, I knew you would!
Rui: So, what is it? I'm hungry, make it quick.
Leon: We're finally holding the Rider Summit again after a long time, and I hope you’ll happily join us.
We'll announce the date and time of the event later. That’s all.
Rui: ...That was so quick, I didn’t have time to process it at all.
Leon: It's the Rider Summit! We used to hold it during the time of the previous Agent, didn't we!?
Rui: …Ah, now that you mention it, I think we did.
Leon: Since the passing of the previous Agent, we haven't been able to hold it, but now that Noah-sama has started to work as an agent…
I saw this as a great opportunity to resume it.
Rui: …Rider Summit huh…..
[ —At the Slam Days Base]
Shizuru: Hey, are you really serious about bringing back the Rider Summit?!
Rui: Yeah, that 'annoying event' we've managed to avoid since the previous Agent passed away.
Lance: That threw me off guard.
If we go by past rules, the leaders of each class must meet regularly in the Rider Station's conference room.
Shizuru: …Do your best, Rui.
Rui: Ha? Why me.
Shizuru: Because you're the leader of Slam Days.
Rui: Now I'm not. I quit.
Lance: Whaa?!?!?
Shizuru: Rui, you’re being really childish just cause you don’t wanna attend the Rider Summit.
Rui: Being a leader is just a title. It won’t matter whoever fills in that role.
Lance: Oh dear, This is tricky. Shizuru.
Shizuru: Well, he does have a point.
Just cause he’s a leader doesn’t mean he does anything special.
Rui: So you get what I'm talking about.
Shizuru: …That reminds me.
Lance: ...Yeah, brings back memories.
Shizuru and Lance: Of the time when we first decided on a leader…
Rui: What are you guys on about…?
