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.
