District Story - Time Lag Prank

Lance: Now, the next location is—

Guy A: Lance?!?! Hahaha, I didn’t expect to run into you in a place like this.

Lance: Huh….

(...Someone I don’t know. Maybe one of Q’s acquaintances?)

(I can’t carelessly talk about having a split personality… Plus, I’m not sure if he’s aware of it.)

Guy A: Where the hell have you been? We’ve been looking everywhere for you.

Lance: Well… I’ve been staying at home a lot lately.

Guy A: Hold on. I think he’s near. I’ll call him now!

Lance: (He...?)

(Maybe Q has his own circle of people. That’s not a bad thing so maybe I should just play along.)

(....Wait. But if that’s the case, why did they call me by my name? They don’t look so friendly, it’s bothering me a bit.)

Guy A: Oh, he’s here! Heey, over here!

Guy B: Hey, Lance. It’s been 100 years since we last ran into each other. ...Let me have a look at your face.

Lance: ?!

Uhm... this might be a bit weird, but what exactly did I do to you guys?

Guy B: Huh!? Don’t you dare say you forgot!!

[ —Flashback]

Q: Hehehe ♪

Guy A: Well then, let’s beat the crap out of that guy together!

Guy A’s Girlfriend: Hahaha! Sooo strong!

Guy B: Well, if they underestimate us we won’t just stay put, will we?

Guy B’s Girlfriend: Whoa! As expected of my boyfriend! —eek!

Q: Whoa…!

Guy B: Watch out, you brat!! My girlfriend almost got hurt, you know!!

Q: Ha….?

(Who does this guy think he is? So annoying… I’m going to show him who he’s messing with.)

—Hey, mister. You dropped this, you know?

Guy B: What?

Q: Here you go~ Make sure to hold onto your belongings, ‘kay?

Guy B: S-sure…

Wait, a s-spider?!?! Eeeeek?!!!?!?!

Guy B’s Girlfriend: Eh…? ‘Ahhh’? Really….? It’s just a spider toy.

Guy B: A-a toy?

Q: Hahahaha!! That was the best reaction ever!

Guy B: Y-you…!! Stop right there!

Q: Who waits when they’re told to wait, right? Well, you can get back at me if we meet again..

Guy A: Who even are you to be messing around like this—

Q: My name is Lance, be sure to remember it. Well then, bye byeee ♪

Lance: ….Oh, I see.

(Even if I tell him about having a split personality, it’ll only sound like an excuse….)

Guy A: You said we can get back at you once we meet again, right?

Lance: I’m really sorry for that. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again… I’ll be more careful.

Guy B: Do you really think apologizing now will fix things?

Lance: I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I did apologize properly. I’ve done what I can to do things right.

—Well, I’ll take my leave now!

Guy B: Damn it, he’s running away again…!

Guy A: I'm not letting you get away today!! I’ve called more backup, you know!?

Lance: Ughh! That Q…!
