4★ Rui - F/P/S: Gamer's Creed (Part 4) [BLUE ATTRIBUTE]
Part 4 has two episodes. The ending of this episode will be different from Part 4 (Green Attribute)
Host: Both of them are carefully watching each other’s movements. But — whoa, hold on!
Rui: … Here I go.
Host: Here comes RUI moving his move!
At lightning-fast-speed attacks — this is RUI in full swing!
Then comes his next move — what’s this?!
Randa: No way…! I’ve never seen anyone nail this move before...!
Rui: Well, you learn new things. Make sure to remember that.
Host: RUI’s hits just keep coming!
Can Randa avoid his attacks — Oh, his HP is dropping rapidly!
Randa: Shit…!
Rui: …Game over.
Host: K. O —————— ! !
RUI’s ultimate combo has completely worn down Randa!!
Randa: No way… That can’t be! How could this be…!
Rui: Didn’t I tell you I had no intention of losing?
Host: RUI takes down Randa and secures a victory!! Congratulations on winning !!
Randa: ……….
Man… Thinking I could become a pro with my skills just now was stupid of me…
Noah: … Wait, isn’t that Rui-san over there…
Rui: Oh, you’re still here huh.
Randa: RUI-san…
Rui: You have skills, there’s no doubt. But there’s folks here just like yours.
Randa: I know that… Well. I was really serious about winning today, but I ended up losing instead.
I guess unless you’re really good like RUI-san, making a living out of gaming is just impossible [1].
Rui: What you’re missing isn’t just skill. It’s also preparation and determination.
You can’t just make a living out of gaming just because they’re fun, you know?
Randa: But I was prepared…!
Rui: While working part-time jobs?
Well, that's a half-assed way to do it for sure. You can’t beat those that do it 24/7.
Randa: That’s… But, how do I…
Rui: C’mon, you get what I mean right.
Noah: … Maybe instead of saying that, how about giving him some advice…
Rui: What a pain…
If you’re just bragging saying you’re going to become a pro gamer and be like that, it’s no wonder you ended up losing to me.
Randa: …Yeah, I get it. I understand what you mean. Thanks for the advice.
Rui: ….Hmph. Betting your life or dreams on competing with others was naive to begin with.
Noah: ……
(Aside from how Rui-san said it, he did have a point. But, it must have been hard for him.)
(...Hm? Is that…)
Randa-kun!
Randa: Oh, you. You were with RUI-san a while ago...
Noah: … I know what Rui-san said was harsh but I don’t think he was doubting you.
Randa: …Yeah, you’re right.
After hearing him say that, I’ve made up my mind. RUI-san may look scary but… he’s actually pretty cool.
…. He must have seen how naive I was and wanted to give me a push.
Whether it’s in gaming or in something else, I’m not sure yet. But, I want to have the same confidence as he has.
If I manage to find it, I’ll swing by here and give an update… Can you pass that message to RUI for me?
Noah: Understood.
Randa: Thank you… Well, see ya.
Rui: …Did someone came crying?
Noah: Rui-san! Did you happen to catch what he said?
Randa-kun said he’ll come back and update us.
Rui: …No, I assumed he’d always be here anyway.
Noah: I don’t think you’re completely wrong either…
Rui:......
He’s going to find his own path huh.
Wait, is he considering on quitting?
Too bad.
Noah: I don’t know.
After thinking about it, he might just go with the game after all.
Rui: …Yeah, definitely.
Noah: Either way, when you two meet again, you can have another battle right?
Rui: That’s right.
… If we get to compete against each other again, I’ll teach him a few tips.
Translation Notes:
[1] Randa used 天才 (tensai) which can translate as a genius but can also mean someone who has incredible skills.
Throughout the episodes Randa refers to Rui as his username (RUI)
