(GS3) Field: Rijuku Residential Area

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai had the feeling like he was being watched. [It's probably Yuri looking onto the street from her bedroom window. Oh well.] the thought to himself, but was still unable to shake it off. His eye's flickered into a crimson colour.

"Haruki Yahagi...." he said his name with a serious tone, temporally ignoring Shin'en. "I can sense just by looking at you that you have  had a dramatic change  in strength... but your personality has not changed in the slightest." He then addressed Shin'en. "Don't act like you know me, last I checked I only fought you and held a door open for you, not to mention gave you advice getting over Bla...losing Vortimer to some punk"

For some reason he was about to say something else, for a moment his memory flashed back different to how he remembered it. He shrugged it off and his turned back to their usual red shade.

"Haruki, I've been in the Hospital for awhille, got out yesterday as a matter of fact, how about we test how strong you have gotten"

[Kuro]

"Out of the hospital?" Haruki looked back at Kurai. Could some force of injustice have caused the man to be hospitalized? "Well, it's great to see you back on your feet Kurai. I'd be glad to fight with you once more," the young man said, as he pulled out his own deck.

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai smiled slightly, and pulled his deck out also. "No holding back" he declared

[Helios]

So we have, a wanna be Justice Bringer, a weak hospitalized guy, a girl with a useless puppy, and a regular guy nobody knows. Interesting.

[Hope]

"Hello," she politely waved at the the D-Roboy.

It looks like they were going to start a fight. If she heard what that Edgeboi said, those were some aggressive words. Pr❤ism wagged her tail as Hana made an abrupt stop to gauge all of those who were there. She knew Shin'en from the regional tournament and she things that she's seen the other two here before, but she couldn't point her finger where. That one guy was being too serious for a random encounter in a random neighborhood, all the reason to stay and not watch this fight. She hated the idea and act of proving "strength" or anything of that sort through Vanguard anyways. Nonetheless, she had to go proceed to walking her dog around the park and later of have a possible training session with some nakamas. She turned to the only one who she liked, D-Roboy.

She gave him a curtsy to signal that she has to take her leave, and she proceeded to walk towards the park. 
"Good luck and get him good!"

[Helios]

The fight ended in the Dark Irregulars player's favor. Well it looks like they both have gotten a little tiny bit stronger sense I last saw them. That will make for a more rewarding win against these players.

After watching the fight, Hazama decides to proceed to his destination to the train station, and then to home.

Looks like this game has gotten a bit more interesting.

[Kuro]

The girl of justice walked off with her loyal dog giving Haruki a "Hello" and "Good luck" for his fight with Kurai. Then their battle began.

It was an intense cardfight between the two. They both had strong vanguards with overpowering criticals. Haruki fought with a strong passion, but his Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha's power was no match for the triple critical of Blade Wing, Reijy. The young man took his loss with honor, and saw it as another chance to grow.

"Nice game Kurai. I can tell you're a great fighter of justice."

"Agreed, Haruki Yahagi."

The two shook hands for such a great game and collected their cards as they parted ways. This was definitely a fighter Haruki wanted to be like, and even surpass. Kurai could be harsh at times, but when he's fighting, the guy is amazing.

Kurai AF +3
Shin'en AF +1
(Hana) AF +1

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

It was Kurai's turn, he had no grade 3 in his hand and had only one shot in pulling one from his draw. "My turn, I stand and Draw..." The card he drew was a grade 3, but non-other than Blade Wing, Reijy, the very card in his deck he had never been able to use. He closed his eyes. Opened them once more.... "I Ride... Blade Wing, Reijy!" With this, black shadows emerged from the vanguard circle. The shadows submerged Kurai's Emblem Master and transformed it into Reijy. There it stood, ready for battle.

It was an intense cardfight between the two. They both had strong vanguards with overpowering criticals. Haruki fought with a strong passion, but his Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha's power was no match for the triple critical of Blade Wing, Reijy. Kurai was the Victor.

"Nice game Kurai. I can tell you're a great fighter of justice."

"Agreed, Haruki Yahagi."

The two shook hands for such a great game and collected their cards as they parted ways. Kurai turned his attention to Shin'en. "What about you? Are you here for a fight as well?" He directed his question whilst remaining in a calm composure.

[+3 Affinity for Haruki Yahagi]

[ryujiknight]

"Well I was heading to Card Capital but, sure why not." I said.

[Hope]

The fight between Shin'en and Kurai ended abruptly due to strange circumstances. Both fighters as well as anyone in the following area then left the neighborhood.

[Jello]

Haruka found himself waking up at night again. His sleep schedule had been rather poor recently after power-sleeping at the Espoir Estate. After stretching and getting his wake-up coffee, Haruka takes a seat at his dining room table Satoshi had already been up and out so Haruka was alone at the time. He sat down at his dining room table, looking through his deck.

"Vortimer... Viviane... Lop Ear?..." The names of his cards were still so foreign. The names he wanted to say were Bahr, Nehalem and Burning Horn Dragon. But they weren't the cards there. And Haruka was coming to realize something fast.

"I'll never save Overlord if I don't work with you guys. Will I?" Haruka waited for a response. Seemingly on cue, Vortimer materializes across from him, sword in hand. Despite Vortimer having 4 forms, he always shows up in his Grade 1 form, the Scout of Darkness.

"I... Hmm. I don't particularly like your kind, ya know. You're picky. And if you intend to fight with us, the Gold Paladins, you don't get to be picky."

Haruka knew that well. Topdecking was the clan's priority, along with side-effects. "Right. I'll try to work with you best then."

Vortimer's eyes widened. A change of heart? "Right then. I'll try to get your chain off and we'll perfect your calls. That way, when I go full beast-mode," he grins mischievously , "I'll stand back up, right?"

For a moment, Haruka was speechless. Then, he nodded with a smile. "Right. We'll stand back up." He goes to high five Vortimer, forgetting it's only a figment of his own imagination and hits the air.

Good thing I'm alone.

It was pretty easy to tell Yukino wasn't the most comfortable in a house four times smaller than the manor. Still, just to be with Haruka, she attempted to manage. More than spare clothing came several kits of makeup supplies, with some stuffed animals too. She loved him, so she found herself content with letting him know how much she liked them as a little girl. Mind you, it was still embarrassing to unveil the fact that the woman was twenty and still keeping them around to sleep with. Despite having Dad Espoir's consent and... more violent blessings for her to deliver to Haruka, he'd have popped in out of nowhere and killed him had they slept in the same bed. Luckily, there was two separate in the same room.

Having her boyfriend around didn't cease the nightmare's replay, however. More did the gravity beast attempt to speak to her, once again telling her to despair. The flag would be destroyed. What flag? While not waking up in a state of panic again, she was still sweating and panting somewhat.

Yugure decided that there was no time to dread on it, however.

The details for Earth's "War of Liberation" were released, but it didn't seem Earth had any real clue of what the event actually meant for Cray. She needed to start with earning vouchers, feeling there was none to support her due to emotional status being a wreck. The queen and Ezel needed to renew their prowess, so she promptly left with a note on the door.

Went out to work, have to make up for lost time. Call/Text when you wake up.

You're also really cute when you're asleep.

xoxoxo ~yuki

[Jello]

If only the morning wasn't so blinding. Upon waking up due to the shining in between his curtains.

"Eh.. Ick." Haruka wipes the corner of his lip. He drooled again. He rolled out of bed and checked his phone for the time, realising he also had a message from Yukino.

"Already up and out of here, huh? Well... Can't expect her to stay put exactly." Haruka heads out to the living room, messing with the stereo system that had been installed. He ended up throwing it on and playing whatever was suiting his fancy.

In the kitchen, Haruka faced a new enemy.

"Coffee cup number 7, we finally meet..." His body was probably still on caffeine OD, but he knew he must accept this ultimate challenge.

After downing two more cups and realizing how bad of an idea that was, Haruka finally gets dressed, picking out his black and white scarf and sets out for the day.

Remembering just now Yukino wanted Haruka to text her when he got up, he sent a little message her way.

"Oh, I see your out then? Dont push yourself. I'll get rly upset.

PS. You're the cutie tho. -haaru"

Cheesy, but it worked for him.

[Beryl]

Satoshi stumbled in, a tired wreck. The previous day had been something else. Jellal had managed to demonstrate the power of Aqua Force many times over, but unfortunately, because of Neu's interference, the farmboy hadn't really been able to experience it for himself and recruit him to their side immediately.

Well, at least he was on their side.

Jellal +5 AP

He flopped down, staring up at the ceiling. He was so sure he had figured out Neu, but he had no proof. Without that proof, of course his theory didn't make any sense. He must've sounded so insane, thinking what he thought. It was ridiculous. Why had he even tried to reason with her in the first place? Hell, why was he even trying to work so hard for Cray when it wasn't really his purpose to handle alone?

He groaned a bit. The frustrating part about thinking that was that the only two people who were anywhere close to dealing with this problem were him and Jellal. The fact that Neu had groupies, too...that was just going to make things harder and harder, especially in the case of trusting other people. Neo he had recognized from asking about Vermillion...how could that guy, who was close enough to meet up at the mansion with the rest of them, be so certain Neu was going to help him? He had even seen Tsubasa as well...

He turned over, feeling like he was going to finally fall asleep. He noticed that Haruka's stuff wasn't there. "Probably staying with Miss Yuki..." he mumbled. Probably best to leave them be until they actually were concerned enough to try and talk to him about...other things.

He made a quick decision not to talk about Neu to them, as it would only lead to their overall frustration with each other, and fell asleep.

[Jello]

Of course things had gotten worse before they got better. Haruka arrived back at the temporary house before Yukino it seems. He never really caught up with her today, somewhat defeating the purpose of the whole house setup by Hana.

Hana....

Haruka flicks through his contacts, debating calling Yukino.

"Eh... She'll probably be home soon.." He flips the phone shut and grabs a mug and makes a pot. Coffee at night? Sounds about right. Ten minutes later, Haruka is in his bedroom, pot of coffee at his side. Too much work to get a mug and all that nonsense.

The. Whole. Pot. Of. Coffee.

Haruka.... Please don't kill us tonight.

"Don't sweat it."
