Shizuru Kaiba Character Story - Unyielding commitment
Shizuru: I'm home. Haaa, work was exhausting today...
Lance: Welcome back.
Rui: You came back just in time. Help me gather materials. It’ll be faster with the three of us.
Shizuru: I’m too tired to game right now. I just need to grab a drink and chill for a bit…
Wait, we’re out of ice?
Rui: Oh, I just used it. Lance’s coffee was way too hot.
Shizuru: No no, if you used it all, just make more.
Did you really need to use ice? You could just wait for it to cool down.
Rui: Waiting’s a pain.
Shizuru: I’m craving a vodka on the rocks, but we got no ice... that’s a bummer. [1]
Rui: Then go buy some.
Shizuru: I just got back though?
…Looks like I’ll have to. I’ll whip up some ice and stick with soda for now.
Wait, there’s no mineral water?
Lance: Sorry, I used it for the coffee.
Shizuru: Ehh? Now I can't even make ice.
Rui: You can get water from the faucet anytime you want.
Shizuru: That’s not the point.
Tap water won’t make clear, solid ice. Plus, you should use good water for ice cause it’ll be disrespectful to the alcohol.
C’mon… Guess I’m off to buy some then.
Lance: Can I go with you?
Shizuru: Nah, it's cool. I'll go myself since I need it.
Lance: I feel bad for messing up, especially when he just got back tired…
Rui: You don’t need to put up with his crap.
Lance: But Shizuru always makes the ice, I should’ve at least kept an eye on the water to make sure we didn’t run out.
Rui: Sigh… Fine. I don’t want to deal with his whining again, so just order a few boxes of it online.
Lance: Got it, leader.
Translation note:
[1] Shizuru said ウォッカロック which literally means “vodka on the rocks” meaning he wanted it to be served with ice.
