17 October 2017

Characters: CIU First Division, Kujo Soma, & Hiyama Takaomi.

Title: First place goes to that person!?

-Kujo Household: Living Room-

Hiyama: ……

Kujo: ……

Hiyama: Hngh…… How could this have happened?

Kujo: Shit……

Why is it that I cannot take over him of all people?

Hiyama: In second place is me, the “flower sprite”, and in third place is Kujo, the “sovereign of liver”...

Kujo: And as usual, in first place is this “sleeping red lion”.

Hiyama: Just what type of occupation allows for one to be sleeping at any time?

Kujo: … We’re not exactly ones to be speaking of others either.

Hiyama: It must have been difficult to run for the rankings all the while being chided by Shindo.

Kujo: … This placement is something that I absolutely will not relinquish at all costs.

Hiyama: My thoughts exactly.

Kujo: But even so...

Kujo & Hiyama: (The name, “sleeping red lion”, is rather splendid…)

-Around the same time with the CIU First Division-

-CIU First Division-

Sugano: You-san? Heeeyy, could you pleeeaase sign this?

Hattori: Out of the question. I’m preoccupied at the moment so just wait.

Arakida: ……

(It’s not as if he’s sleeping or anything, so what’s he doing?)

Sugano: Hey, aren’t you just playing “Sutamai”~?

I wanna play too!

Hattori: The event this time is ranking so I have to put in some effort and play.

Asagiri: …… So in other words, you’re being incorrigible and trying to monopolize the first place rank again.

Arakida: (First place……)

(That’s amazing…)

Hattori: Second place and third place are most likely them, so I don’t want to lose.

Sugano: Second place and third place?... You mean the “flower sprite” and “sovereign of liver”?

Arakida: Do you have an idea of who they are, You-san?

Hattori: What a foolish question.

There isn’t anyone else with such an obvious title.

Asagiri: Please don’t utilize your profiling skills for something like that.

Sugano: Oh!

So could it be that when it was that time or that other time where the air around You-san was tense, was because…

Asagiri: No doubt, there was a ranking event at the time.

Arakida: (So he’s a hardcore player…)

Hattori: Naturally, it’s fine as long as it doesn’t pose a hindrance to work. Right, Tsukasa?

Asagiri: …… That’s exactly why it’s difficult to give you a warning.

Sugano: Ahaha. The people in second place and third place must be super salty~

Hattori: That’s what I’m aiming for after all.

They say that amongst the STAND members…

The “sleeping red lion” started being worshipped as the legendary player…...
