District Story - Early Morning Coffee

Rui: Ah… My shoulders are sore…

(What’s left is the final dungeon….)

(Should I keep going… or should I take a short break?)

…I’ll take a short break for now, maybe I’ll make some coffee.

Lance: Fua…. Huh? Rui, good morning.

Rui: …Oh. I’m about to make some coffee. You want some?

Lance: Thanks, I’ll have one.

Did you not sleep yet? Also, you mentioned a new game was coming out yesterday, right?

Rui: Well, yeah.

Lance: I see. So you pulled an all-nighter. Have you cleared it yet?

Rui: No yet. I want to make the most of it, so I’m taking a break.

Lance: Even though you stayed up all night to get ahead of its release?

Rui: Don’t you get it? You also do things like quizzes and mysteries right?

Lance: When I’m faced with a mystery, I can't help but find the answer for it.

Since solving mysteries is the goal for me, I can’t leave any traces behind right before I solve it…

Since the goal of a game is to have fun, it’s a bit sad when you finish it, right?

“Because it’s fun, I want to savior it more”, “I want to experience the satisfaction when I finish it”

Yeah. That’s a difficult choice to make.

Rui: ..Stop analyzing things with that smug look on your face.

Lance: Hehehe, my bad.

But you know… I want to solve a mystery so grand that solving it feels like a bittersweet moment.

Rui: …I don’t care.

Here, your coffee.

Lance: Ohh, thanks.

…Mmm, it has a nice smell.

Rui: I’m going to clear it now.

Lance: Make sure to get some sleep once you’re done.

Rui: Who knows.

Lance: …Huh? It’s sweet…

(You’re so lazy that it’s rare to see you make coffee, and even if you say you don’t care you still….)

(You knew that I always put three sugar cubes in my black coffee, didn’t you?)

…Yeah. Today’s gonna be a great day.
