Shizuru Kaiba Character Story - Beloved and Free Friends

Shizuru: Yes, I have it here. The investigation report you asked.

Noah: Did you have to bring it here?
If you had told me beforehand, I would have gone to pick it up.

Shizuru: It’s fine, I was going to head out for a drink anyway.

Noah: Please, it’s on the house. Of course, this is different from the report fee.

Shizuru: That’s thoughtful of you. I’ll take your word for it.

Noah: That’s amazing… As expected of you.
You managed to gather all the necessary information without a short time.

It was a good idea to ask Slam Days for help.

Shizuru: Well, yeah.

You can easily find information if you search in every corner of the internet.
My members can do that without breaking a sweat.

Noah: (That’s rare, he has a smug look on his face)

Shizuru: Something up?

Noah: Not at all. I just think that Kaiba-san loves his fellow members dearly.

Shizuru: Not really. Lance is a good guy but,
Rui and Q can be really selfish you know…..

Noah: (I want to agree with him… but, that might be rude) [1]

Shizuru: If you think about Chaosism, you can’t fully trust Q right?

Well, he might have other things going on with him. So I understand why he acts stubborn… to an extent.

Noah: ….

Shizuru: Pranks, in a way, might be his means of avoiding reality.

…. No, I guess he just likes having fun.

Noah: Ahaha….

Shizuru: Rui can be troublesome and lazy.

Noah: That’s… true.

Shizuru: And, he’s very particular about how things are placed, like where the remote control should be.
Which is hard to understand why.

But when it comes to doing something, he can get the job done.
So I trust him and leave it to him.

Rui did most of the research in that report.

Noah: Really?

Shizuru: He complains about things being a bother but does it anyway.
He’s a reliable leader.

Noah: I see…
Kaiba-san really does love his members.

Shizuru: Hey…?
Were you actually listening? I was talking nonsense.

Noah: Well, I’ll leave it to your interpretation.

Shizuru: Mhm, yeah. They’re kind of like that but they’re still my dear friends.
Being free is what defines us.

Noah: Mhm. I hope you continue being friends together.

Shizuru: That’s up to them.
Well, we do what we want anyway. That’s how we are.

Translation note:

[1] Noah said 頷きたい in this sentence but I had a hard time trying to understand the kanji so I had to look it up bc it looked so similar to another kanji, I might have accidently mixed them up lol (i did)
