Class Story - Slam Days (Part 2)

[ —Flashback, About 2 years ago]

Lance: …The Rider Summit huh.

Shizuru: The Agent told us to pick a class leader to attend the summit. So, what do we do?

Rui: …Don’t know. We can just skip it, right?

Lance: I don’t think we can. It seems like a special request from the Agent.

Shizuru: Are you really fine with brushing off the Agent like that, Rui?

Rui: …Beats me.

Lance: I don't think skipping it is an option.

Rui: What’s your plan, then?

Shizuru: One of us needs to show up as the leader.

Rui: Oh, okay. That’ll work.

Either of you can do it. I’ll pass.

Shizuru: Oi wait! Don’t just dump it on us just cause you find it troublesome.

Lance: He’s right. If you’re attending as a leader, you’ll need to take on the responsibility for Slam Days as well.

Rui: Responsibility?!

No way I’m doing that!

Shizuru: ...Well, makes sense, considering you seem to wear irresponsibility like it’s part of your outfit.

Lance: So, what are we gonna do then? It’s up to you Shizuru-senpai…

Shizuru: Wait, wait! I’m really suited to be a leader either!

Lance, since you’re our newest member, you should do it.

Lance: No thanks, I’m not on clean up duty. Me being new doesn’t mean I have to be the leader.

Shizuru: That’s not the only reason why.

Lance: What do you mean?

Shizuru: First of all, you’re smart.

Moreover, you’re the most mature in our group.

Lance: …You’re really trying to justify why. Just because you don’t want to be the leader.

Shizuru: You think so too, right Rui?!

Rui: ….Huh? …Ohh, yeah. You’re more suited for it.

Lance: You totally just tossed that answer without much thought, didn’t you?!

Rui: I’m being serious. The name ‘Lance’ already has a leader vibe to it, don't you think?

Lance: I guess.

Rui: …So, it’s settled then.

Lance: You can’t be for real??

Shizuru: Now that’s settled, time to celebrate! How about we go get a drink, Rui?

Rui: Sounds good. I feel like we’re in for some good drinks tonight.

Lance: Good grief, how carefree these two are…

[ —At the Bar]

Shizuru: Fwua, beer is the best!

Rui: Yeah, having someone like Lance in the class is great. No joke.

Shizuru: For sure. I really appreciate Lance. He’s probably at the summit right now, right?

Rui: Well, I’m so sure he’s doing just fine.

[RINGG]

Rui: Oh, I’m getting a call from the Agent’s butler.

…Hello?

Leon: Um, the Rider Summit has started, but it appears that no one from Slam Days has showed up yet?

Rui: What? That can’t be. Lance is supposed to be there.

Leon: …I’m afraid he’s not here.

Rui: …Did something happen to Lance?

Shizuru: He’s not the type to bail out like that…

Rui: I’ll check up on him and get back to you.

Shizuru: …Hold on. Could it be that guy right now is not Lance…?

Rui: No way…!

[ —At the Slam Days Base]

Shizuru: Q?! If you’re here, answer me!

Q: Welcome back. What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

Rui: I knew it.

Shizuru: Great, just when we needed him the most…

Q: Huh? What do you mean?

Shizuru: Hey Rui. I don’t think it’s a good idea to make Lance as a Leader?

Rui: Yeah. I completely forgot about Q.

Q: Leader? What are you talking about?

[A few minutes later]

Q: …I see. So it’s about attending the Rider Summit.

Rui: Hey Q, don’t you think Shizuru would make a great leader?

Shizuru: RUI!!!

Rui: He’s good at communicating and sings well.

Shizuru: Me singing has nothing to do with this?!

Q: Well, compared to me and Rui, you’re more rational.

Rui: Then it’s decided, Shizuru.

Shizuru: Rui, you still have a chance to become the le—

Rui: NOT A CHANCE!!!

Shizuru: …The stress in times like these is crazy.

Q: Okay, goodluck on the Rider Summit, Shizuru.

Shizuru: …Sigh. I guess I have no choice but to go with the flow. Fine, I’ll attend.
