Laser Tag Frontline! Ep. 4

Ruby

K-Kasumi… She's out of the game now. I can't believe it…

Ruby

Back then… Back then, I…

Eli

Found you, Ruby!

Ruby

Eeek!

Eli

Now for one more shot—

Eli

What?! That was close. I almost got hit just then.

Eli

*Gasp* Where did Ruby go?!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Eli is taking care of Ruby, so…that just leaves Ayumu.

Mari

Now then, where could she—aaagh!

Maki

Eeeeek! You scared the heck out of me. Don't yell like that!

Mari

That's rich! You were lurking in that corner just like a ghost. I thought my heart was gonna stop! What were you even doing?

Maki

I could ask you the same. Why are you still walking around? It's three of us versus two of them, and they're the ones least suited to combat…

Maki

I find it unlikely that their side would come provoke us, so we don't need to be moving around in the open.

Mari

You may have a point. I can also see why you were hiding like that.

Maki

I wasn't hiding!

Mari

This may be just a game, but it's also a battlefield. We have no way of knowing what'll happen. Three versus two means the tables can turn easily.

Mari

Just because they're not suited for combat doesn't mean they're weak, you know?

Maki

…

Mari

Anyway, it's gonna be boring if they don't try to—wait, huh?

Maki

What?

Mari

I thought I heard something just now…

[Fade in/out.]

Ayumu, Ruby

*Huff* *Puff* *Wheeze*

Ayumu

Whew, no one's around. We made it, Ruby.

Ruby

*Pant* *Gasp* Ayumu… Thank you. You saved me again.

Ayumu

Don't worry about it. Remember what I said? We're a team.

Ruby

*Sob*

Ayumu

Ruby?

Ruby

I c-couldn't save her. Kasumi was my teammate, but I couldn't… I was so close to her, but I hesitated for too long…

Ayumu

It…is a shame that happened to Kasumi, but there's still some time left. If you fail, you should use that experience to do better the next time.

Ayumu

So let's keep doing our best together, okay?

Ruby

Ayumu…

Ruby

Yeah, I will! I'll work twice as hard to make up for Kasumi and so I can be ready to save you! Right until the end!

Kasumi

That's right!

Kasumi

We'll get our chance to make a comeback… No, we'll create one, no matter what it might cost!

Ayumu, Ruby

K-Kasumi?!
