4★ Shizuru Kaiba - Memories Collected by Sound (Part 3)
Shizuru: Pretty please. Could you sell this to us?
Saburo: I only sell the things I want to those I like.
Shizuru: Come on, Saburo-san. Don’t be like that.
Saburo: Just leave already.
I wouldn't sell it to someone as careless as you.
Shizuru: Ehh~...
Saburo: A playboy like you would probably use it to flirt with other women.
It might even be of good use for you.
Shizuru: Well, I can’t deny that but—
Noah: Can’t deny that?!
Shizuru: Mhm. But, I’m very sentimental with my things.
Especially… If it’s related to music.
Saburo:What do you mean by music?
Shizuru: Tell you what, Saburo-san. What kind of guitar is that in the corner?
Saburo: Ha? It’s just another piece of junk.
I don’t know much about instruments, but it definitely doesn’t make good sounds.
Tuning, is what you call it? I tried tuning it but it still won’t work.
Noah: It doesn’t look like it’s broken though…
Shizuru: Could I take a look at it for a sec?
Saburo: Just don’t break it.
Shizuru: Of course.
I knew it.
It’s not junk. You just have to play around with it for a bit.
Saburo-san, can I borrow this for a little while?
Saburo: …..?
Shizuru: Alright, all good.
Noah: Oh! The sound…!
Saburo: H-how did you….The guitar is back to how it used to be.
… You, you’re something else.
Shizuru: Like I said. Anything related to music is important to me.
Mhm, what a good guitar. Thanks for letting me borrow it, Saburo-san
Saburo: Huh?
Shizuru: If you hadn’t put this up, this thing might have been left unfixed.
But, if it’s picked up by someone who values stuff like this, it’ll have a second chance to become an instrument again.
Saburo: Heh, you’re a strange one.
… Okay, I took a liking to you.
It looks like you know how things feel.
Lately, there’s been so many people that don’t see the value of things.
Even objects have feelings, you know?
Noah: Saburo-san chooses his customers wisely because they're people who can see the value of things.
Saburo: Well then.
You still want this cassette player, right?
Shizuru: We still do.
Saburo: I’ll give it to you, as a thanks for fixing the guitar.
Shizuru: Huh? You sure?
Saburo: Even if you buy it, it’s still junk.
[Choices: 1st choice: It’s okay! Let’s fix this one too!]
Shizuru: uhm… Looks like it’ll be a little harder to fix this time.
Check this out, the belt on this is probably stretched and worn out, and the wind torque is gone too.
Saburo: Hey, if you need anything just tell me. I have plenty of parts for repairing junk here.
Shizuru: Well, I understand the basics, but I can’t tinker with it. So can I ask you for some help…
Saburo: It happens, let me have a look.
Sorry to keep you two waiting, here. It’s all fixed.
Shizuru: Thank you so much, Saburo-san!
Saburo: Sure thing. If you need anything else, just stop by.
Shizuru: Finally got our hands on it…
Noah: That’s good. Let’s listen to it now.
Shizuru: Let’s move somewhere peaceful first.
Combatant: Hey, give me that!
Noah: Chaosism!? How did you find us…!
Head Combatant: We saw you two on our way back from a mission.
You were really into that negotiation, but we were just waiting for you to finish and grab the Chaostone.
It sounded important but I didn't see it was connected to the Chaostone.
Shizuru: … Ah, it really doesn't.
This is just an ordinary cassette player.
Combatant: Doesn't matter. Regardless of what you have to say ,there’s a good chance it’s related to something important.
We’ll go ahead and take it from you.
Shizuru: … Ack!
Noah: Kaiba-san!!
Head Combatant: Now! Take it from him!
Combatant: fires a bullet
Shizuru: ….!
Noah: (The tape and the cassette player…!)
Shizuru: Analog sound sources are not replaceable you know. But just saying that still won’t make sense to you guys, huh?
It’s a shame, I hate people that don’t understand how important music is.
Combatant: Huh? What are you trying to say?
Shizuru: Oh, didn’t you heard what I just said?
I said, I’ll make sure you regret it.
