Class Story - Slam Days (Part 3)

Rui: (...Ah, nothing beats playing FPS games at home.)

(...Survival games sucks because traveling, prepping the gear and gathering people is such a pain.)

(...If it's online, you don’t have to worry about any of that. No one interrupts you, so you can really feel like you're part of it.)

(...Ahh, this is what heaven feels like.)

Q: Rui, I’m going online and joining you.

Rui: Oh, you think you can beat me?

Q: Hmm, teaming up once in a while doesn't sound bad, right?

Rui: ...That's an interesting suggestion. Alright, let's do it.

[RINGGG]

Ugh... what the heck is it now?

Ah, it’s from the butler again.

…Hello?

Leon: Uh, just so you know, the Rider Summit has started…?

Rui: Ha?

Leon: Once again, it looks like no one has arrived?

Rui: No way?! Shizuru was supposed to be there this time.

Leon: ...No, he's not here?

Rui: ...Did something happen to Shizuru?

Q: That's weird. I don't think he's the type to ditch like that…

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

Q, do you know where Shizuru went?

Q: Who knows... maybe he went out for a drink at a bar.

Just a thought. Probably.

Rui: ...Wait, if that’s really the case…?

[ —At the Bar]

Rui: Master, sorry for intruding.

Master: Oh, Rui. You arrived just in time. I was just about to call someone to pick him up.

Rui: Pick him up…?

Master: Shizuru has passed out from drinking.

Shizuru: Ohh… Rui… You're here…

Rui: ...What the heck were you up to?

Master: Apparently, he went to ten different bars before coming here.

Rui: 10 different bars…?!

Master: He mentioned that he's been drinking for two full days now.

Rui: That's just insane. How could you just ditch the Rider Summit just to go bar hopping?

Shizuru: Eh~? I didn’t ditch it. The summit is tomorrow, right?

Rui: It's today!!! You've been drinking for two days straight, you lost your sense of time!!

[ —At the Slam Days Base]

Shizuru: ...Ah, thanks for giving me a ride, Rui…

Rui: Ugh, this is so annoying. Why do I have to take care of you, I want to go back to my blissful home gaming time.

Shizuru: You complain about it being a pain, but you always take care of me. Thanks for being there for me, Rui.

Rui: I’m not doing it for you. I just happen to be home a lot.

Shizuru: Right right~

Rui: …Ugh, it's annoying having to deal with you.

Lance: Hey Rui, we're out of coffee beans. Should I go buy some?

Rui: I've already ordered coffee beans online. They should be arriving soon.

[DING DONG]

It’s here.

Lance: Great, perfect timing!

Thanks Rui, because of you, I didn’t need to go shopping.

Rui: I can order everything you need online. You can just stay inside forever if you want.

Lance: Of course… The one that knows Slam Days the most is you, Rui.

Shizuru: Right? He takes care of me when I get a hangover, and makes sure we have everything we need at home.

...Why don’t you try being the leader?

Rui: I already said I'm not going to.

Shizuru: ...But with Lance, there's the risk of him swapping with Q, which makes it tough to attend the Rider Summit.

Lance: ...And with Shizuru, there's the risk of him getting drunk, which makes it hard to attend the Rider Summit too.

Rui: ...Damn it, there's not a single normal person here.

Shizuru: You won’t know until you try it. I'm saying you should try being a Leader.

Lance: Exactly. We’ve done it too.

Rui: …Sigh, what a pain in the ass.
