4★ Shizuru Kaiba - Bday

Lance: Think he’d prefer alcohol? Or should I go with those sweet-and-salty energy drinks?

Rui: For what?

Lance: For Shizuru's birthday. It's soon, right?

Rui: Oh, right….

Lance: He always gives out very thoughtful gifts. I wanna give him something he'd really like too.

Rui: Alcohol's probably your best bet.

Lance: Yeah I figured. But I was thinking of giving him something different this time… but I don't know what.

Rui: Don’t look at me. Ask him himself.

Shizuru: Ugh… I'm beat.

Lance: Welcome back!

Shizuru: Hm? Oh I'm back… Did something happen?

Rui: He was thinking about what you want for your birthday.

Lance: Wh—hey! I wanted to surprise him!

Shizuru: Thanks, Lance. I’m good with whatever, really.

If you really want me to pick something, I can think about it.

Lance: No, it’s fine. If you're okay with me choosing, I’d like to do that.

They say the time you spend thinking about the gift is part of the gift itself.

Shizuru: Oh, I can't wait.

Wonder what Rui’s gonna get me.

Rui: Don’t even think it’ll be something like that.

Shizuru: Yeah, yeah. I’m looking forward to it.


Shizuru: Morning... my head hurts…

Q: Seriously? Another hangover today?

Come on, get it together, it’s your birthday!

Shizuru: Wait, what’s with all the decorations? Balloons and all this fancy stuff… I’ve never seen this room like this before.

Q: It’s my favorite person’s birthday, I had to make it special! ★

Shizuru: ...I appreciate the celebration, but knowing you, I’m sure there’s some kind of trick behind it.

Q: Aww, I really wanted to celebrate with you… Look, I even made these takoyakis with my own two hands!

Shizuru: But you’ve been grinning nonstop, I’m sure you put something weird in them.

Q: Uh-oh, caught me, huh?

Shizuru: I’m not eating takoyaki if I don’t know what’s in them. Too sketchy.

Q: It’s just octopus, I promise.

Shizuru: Uh-huh. And this sash is giving me all kinds of bad vibes… You trying to pull something with this wristband too?

Q: What? The 'star of the day' is a classic, right?

Shizuru: Also, these glasses are connected to some weird liquid... What's going on here?

Rui: Press the button, and lemon water shoots out.

Shizuru: Just imagining it is making me dizzy…

Q: Hey Rui! You can’t ruin the surprise!

All the effort I put into preparing for this day… It’s all ruined!

Rui: Ah, sorry, sorry.

Q: Just had to spoil the fun.

Shizuru: Anyways, just as Leader said. This guy's using my birthday to make me his target.

Rui: Well, enjoy all the celebrations, I guess. Lucky you.

Q: It’s an important day, after all!

Shizuru: Right....


Q: Come on! Try one!

Shizuru: I invoke birthday rights, no thanks.

Q: That’s so mean… You’re refusing the sash, the glasses, and now the takoyaki I made with so much love?

Shizuru: There’s definitely more than just octopus and love in there.

All I need is this nice, safe pizza Lance brought.

Q: But the takoyaki’s tasty too…

Shizuru: What…?

Q: I made them just for you, Shizuru! If you don’t eat them, I’ll cry!

C’mon, c’mon try it.

Rui: Try it.

Shizuru: Treated like this on my birthday… No escape… I just wanna see Lance…

Q: Wow…

Rui: That's harsh.

Q: Waaaah.

Rui: Uh-oh, you made him cry.

Shizuru: Please, that’s the fakest cry I’ve ever seen.

...Alright, alright! I give in. I’ll eat it, okay?

Q: Alright, take a bite!

Shizuru: Guah…!

Rui: How was it?

Shizuru: ...It’s actually good.

Q: Told you! I made them with love, you know.

C’mon, eat up, don’t be shy!

Shizuru: Yeah, sure. I bet this one’s the only safe one and the rest are full of weird stuff.

Q: Tch… Busted.

Shizuru: Your kindness always comes with a trap.

Rui: Facts.

Q: That’s not true! I got you a legit present this time, no pranks in them.

Shizuru: Really now?

Q: Really! Today’s your day Shizuru, so I’m gonna spoil you rotten!

Shizuru: That somehow makes it even scarier…

Q: I’ll bring over the stuff Lance prepared too.

Shizuru: Okay, now this is getting scary.

Rui: Come on, deep down you’re enjoying this.

Shizuru: I mean… yeah. Lance put a lot of effort into this, so I really do appreciate it.

Rui: I got something for you too. Sort of.

Shizuru: Oh? What is it?

Rui: If I manage to throw you the best party ever, you gotta praise me.

Shizuru: Huh, isn’t that supposed to be my gift?

Well, whatever. I’m all yours for today, Leader.
