Q Character Story - 1 Million Yen Repair Fee

Q: Hello Noah. Can I get an energy drink please?

Noah: Hmm… The screen isn’t cracked, so it must be from inside.

Q: Did you hear me—?

Noah: ah, sorry! Welcome.

Q: Is something wrong?

Noah: The tablet that I’ve been using to place orders won’t turn on.

Q: Maybe the battery needs charging?

Kyosuke: No, I dropped it earlier.

I was watching a martial arts livestream. I was so happy that the fighter I was cheering for won that I jumped up and cheered.

Q: …Are you stupid?

Kyosuke: S-shut up! You had moments too that made you jump up right?!

Q: I don’t. I’m not foolish enough to let my emotions get the better of me.

Noah: Let’s make sure neither of you make a scene in the shop. …. Hm, looks like it really is broken, I’ll just buy a new one.

Kyosuke: You don’t need to do that. I was the one who broke it, so I’ll just buy a new one at the electronics store right now!!

Noah: It’s alright Araki-kun. It’s alright.

(Even though I mean it, I wanted to use this for the shop tonight. That sucks.)

Q: Is it really broken? Can you let me borrow it for a bit?

Noah: Huh?

Q: There we go… Look, it’s turning on now.

Noah: That’s amazing, you fixed it!

Kyosuke: Oh oh oh! Nice one man!

Q: It’s nothing. I just messed around with the connections inside a bit. It’s kinda ridiculous to buy a new one for this.

So, you really are stupid?

Kyosuke: What did you just say?!

Noah: I’m glad you could help, Q. Thank you so much.

Q: —Kay, the repair fee is 1 million yen.

Kyosuke: That much?!

Noah: I understand. Could you give me a check?

Q: Huh?

Kyosuke: Are you for real about paying?!

Q: …………

Sheesh. I know you’re rich but aren’t you being a little too generous? I like generous people but your reaction is different from what I was expecting.

Noah: Huh, you were just bluffing?!

Q: You were surprised by that? Hahaa, you’re seriously amusing to talk to.

Translation Note:

I’m not 100% accurate with Araki’s speech translation but tried to keep it the same vibe to him. Please feel free to correct me if you think it's ooc.
