4★ Rui - Bday
Rui: (Why do I have to go pick that guy up...?)
(Of course, the Agent isn't answering when I need him. I tried calling Lance, but Q picked up and hung up on me anyway...)
Shizuru: Ah! There you are, Leader!
Thanks for coming to get me. No, I honestly didn’t think you’d show up~!
Rui: If I knew you’d be here, you wouldn’t have to call me.
Shizuru: I know, I know, I think about that every time and feel really bad about it. But it’s really kind of you to come out and do this.
That’s why I’m going to take advantage of it too~… Oh wait..
Rui: Hey…
Shizuru: I’m fine, I’m fine!
Rui: Were you drinking all by yourself?
Shizuru: I had a great time with some people I met at the bar! It would’ve been even more fun if you were there too, Leader.
Rui: I’m not going there, and I probably wouldn't enjoy it either…
Shizuru: No, no, it’s fun, I promise!
Rui: ...Hey, where are you going? Walk straight.
Shizuru: This way is the fastest~. This is why people who don’t go out don’t know about it.
Rui: Ugh… Drunk people are such a pain in the ass….
[ —At the Back Alley]
Shizuru: Was it this way... or was it? We didn’t miss the turn, did we?
Rui: Hey, where are you going? I’ve never heard of this shortcut.
[RINNGGGGGG]
Shizuru: ! Whoa, it’s already this late...!
Rui: Shut up... just turn the alarm off already.
Shizuru: Um, hold on, hold on~...
Rui: ……
Shizuru: Haha, my fingers got all tangled up~. Huh? That’s weird...
Rui: Sigh…. Give that to me.
Shizuru: Thanks~! You really are great with technology, Rui!
Rui: You just drink too much. And seriously, why do you have an alarm set for this late at night?
Shizuru: Because today is—
Q: Because today is a special day!
[Fireworks going off]
Rui: Huh….? Fireworks…?
Shizuru and Q: Happy Birthday, Rui~!
Q: Ugh, Shizuru you really overdid it! I was getting anxious thinking you wouldn’t be able to carry out the plan!
Shizuru: Haha, I thought just one more drink wouldn’t hurt, and look what happened… But hey, it all went well either way, right?
Rui: ...What plan are you talking about?
Q: It's a surprise party for Rui's birthday! What’d you think of these fireworks? Did they catch you by surprise?
Rui: A surprise birthday party….
Shizuru: Rui, you didn’t forget about your birthday, did you—
Rui: Oh, so it’s already past midnight, huh? I’d never forget my own birthday.
Seriously, this isn’t the time to be causing a commotion.
Q: Huh…?
Rui: I’ve got to collect my birthday special login bonus… It’s like a once-a-year event.
Shizuru: What…?
Rui: It's your fault for asking me to pick you up that the date changed. That birthday-limited quest is only available for 24 hours.
Okay, this one’s good. Now, let’s check this one... Whoa, the birthday login bonus is really generous.
Q: ...Hey, this isn’t the reaction I imagined you’d have. You only looked shocked for a split second, and that’s so lame!
Shizuru: I guess that’s our leader for you… But anyway, let’s go out for drinks to celebrate your birthday, just the three of us~
Rui: I’m not joining. Since Q’s here, I’ll leave Shizuru to you. I’m going home.
Q: Huh? No way, that sounds like a pain.
Seriously, why are you in such a rush?
Rui: PC games have birthday-limited quests, too. I can’t just be wasting my time here.
So, yeah, that’s why.
Shizuru: Why are you walking so fast when you're leaving? Hey, Rui, hold on a sec~!
Q: I went through all the trouble to prepare a surprise for you...! Hey, don’t you dare ditch on me!
