Class Story - Slam Days (Part 4)

Rui: (…Sigh, what a pain. The Rider Summit day is finally here.)

(...Wait a second, I didn’t even realize today was the Rider Summit.)

(...I totally forgot. I'll leave it at that.)

(...Lance and Shizuru aren’t going either. It shouldn't matter if I don’t go too.)

[ —At the Arcade]

(...Ah, I’m really on top of my game today.)

(...Spending a weekday afternoon playing medal games at the arcade.)

(...The coins are piling up fast, it feels like it’ll never end.)

Rude Male Customer: Oi, what the hell is wrong with this place?!

I spent 2,000 yen and still can’t get anything from the UFO claw machine! Are you trying to rip me off!?

Staff: Please keep it down, as there are other customers here.

Rude Male Customer: This is stressing me out. Give me my 1M yen compensation now.

Staff: ...I understand, but…

Rude Male Customer: You're useless! Get me the person in charge.

Staff: Please, I ask for your understanding…!

Rude Male Customer: I said get me the person in charge, didn’t I!?

Staff: Hyiii….

Rui: Hey, you. The staff already told you to keep it down.

Rude Male Customer: Ha? Who do you think you are?

Rui: I'm a customer here. So let me play in peace.

Rude Male Customer: Shut it. I'm gonna destroy this place.

Rui: …If you do that, I won't let that happen.

Rude Male Customer: You looking for a fight? Then let's take it outside.

Rui: I guess it can't be helped.

Staff:Staff: Uh, excuse me, customer…!

Rui: Ah, don’t worry. I’m just a volunteer trying to protect this beloved arcade.

[ —At the Slam Days Base]

Rui:...Sigh, what a rough day it’s been.

Shizuru: Hey, Rui, where have you been?! You skipped the Rider Summit, didn’t you!

Lance: The butler contacted me just a moment ago.

Rui: Ah, it was today, huh? I didn’t notice.

Shizuru: I tried calling you several times, why didn’t you pick up?

Rui: I ran into a bit of trouble.

Shizuru: You were just playing at the arcade, weren’t you?

Rui: ….Maybe.

Lance: Skipping on purpose like that is totally deliberate.

Shizuru: Well, I pretty much suspected as much.

Lazy. Selfish. Irresponsible.

Lance: Lifeless. Unmotivated. Good-for-nothing.

Rui: Oi oi. You guys are getting positive feedback, so why am I the only one being criticized?

Shizuru: You’re aware, right?

Rui: …I guess.

Lance: Well, now that we've all experienced being a leader, who are we going to choose?

Shizuru: Everyone has their pros and cons, so it’s hard to decide.

Rui: That’s not even close.

Shizuru: …You could say that.

Lance: Since we've already missed the Rider Summit three times, we might get some serious punishments if we miss it again.

We have to take this seriously.

Rui: Well, it can't be helped. Let’s decide with the usual thing.

Shizuru: …You mean ‘that’ huh?

Lance: …So that's how we're gonna decide, huh? …We should have just gone with that from the start.

Rui: Once we decide, no hard feelings, okay?
