(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Hope]

She accepted the ring from the boy, blushing a little as it was quite sweet, especially since she is 23 and single, living alone in an apartment in Hoshiko. Upon entering the restaurant, she was led to a table for three. She sat on one side and invited the two to sit on the other. She picked up the menu and opened the booklet. She pretended to read it because she really didn't understand what it said.

She placed the menu down and raised her hand, "Three servings of Fish Balls!"

[Kuro]

Fish balls sounded like a good meal, something good to eat even if it was late at night. Haruki sat beside Neo with the woman on the other side. Come to think of it, they hadn't gotten her name yet. It'd be a good start to the conversation while they ate anyway.

"I never did get your name, did I?" he asked the woman out of curiousity, as their food was soon placed on the table.

[NeoBuster]

"Thanks for the food!" Neo said with energy

"Also,What is your name" Neo asked the lady

[Hope]

As they waited for the order, it seemed like it didn't hurt to spark some little conversation and seems like both of them had already got ahead of what she was thinking. Her name would make it extremely obvious that she's not from around here, but she really didn't care.

"My name, is Neu Edelweiss." She gave off a faint smile, with the dim lights in the restaurant giving a bright shine on her face and reflecting off of her beautiful orange eyes. She turned to grab the soy sauce from the corner of the table and started playing with the container. "Right, so now I've introduced myself, what your names?"

[Kuro]

"You want to know who I am?" Haruki was always prepared for this moment, for someone to ask his name. However, in this restaurant it wouldn't be polite to stand up in the middle of their eating to strike a pose. He decided to answer casually.

"My name is Haruki, Haruki Yahagi. A pleasure to meet you," the young man said with a smile. "Where are you from Neu? It seems like your not familiar with the local area."

[NeoBuster]

"My name is Neo. Neo Isamu" Neo said to Neu "Nice to meet you"

Neo was happy to be surrounded by another nice person. Back then Neo would not have been able to trust anyone, but he is glad that he has been able to trust these people he has been meeting.

[Hope]

After they both introduced themselves, the food had arrived. Neu had been waiting for this, a darling revelation from the angels was what the plate that was put before her. It was a gift, a blessing, she was very hungry. She the chopsticks from the table and started stabbing the fish balls because she didn't know how to use chopsticks. Nonetheless, she ate very quickly.

"Right yeah I just got here from America uhm. So uh, what do you guys do for a living? Go to school or something?"

[NeoBuster]

"I play Cardfight Vanguard" Neo replied.

"But to make my story short, I play Vanguard to find out why my parents went missing when I was a young kid. I wont stop intil I find out what happened to them" Neo also said to Neu

[Kuro]

Neo had a surprisingly meaningful backstory as to why he played vanguard for a living, and Haruki respected him for his justice. He followed up Neo's answer by giving his own.

"I'm a student at the local high school. We've been on summer break for now, and I've recently undergone training in Vanguard myself, to fight for the justice that is my clan." Haruki's response likely wasn't as great as Neo's, but now it was Neu's turn.

"What about you? You must do something really special if you're able to come here all the way from America." The young man gave thanks and started to eat after asking.

[Hope]

Vanguard huh... now this got interesting. The waiter had just cleared the table, meals finished, though she was still chewing in her last bit of footballs.

"Right so mommy and daddy are gone, and you think Vanguard could bring them back? This card game?" Neu chuckled a little, almost choking on the fish balls. Inside, she actually found this interesting, almost respectable. The laugh was just to mess with him. Neu thought that he seemed to have a pure enough motive, maybe she would be able to help, but she needed a way to convince him.

As for the other guy.

"You train to what? Become strong for justice?.... Well I mean, don't you think that the very existence of strength is something that's waiting to cause injustice to happen? Everyone should just enjoy Vanguard, don't 'cha think? I mean that's what I want to spread around to everyone is all I guess." She shrugged.

"Well, I mean I play Vanguard too. I mean, I think I might be able to help both of you, but I'll have to see first." She pulled out a deck from one of her side pockets and showed them. "Right this is my deck, I'll have to show you an image to convince you that I'm serious when I say this, but in return you need to give me a fun time while we play alright?"

"Neo, let's have a game." She challenged the one whom answered her first.

She took out her starting vanguard and placed it face down on the table. "A fun game. That's all we gotta have right?" she smiled.

[NeoBuster]

"SUre Im always up for a game" Neo replied

He put his starting Vanguard down and the game began!

[Kuro]

The girl made a good point to Haruki. Perhaps sharing the fun of Vanguard with others was a form of justice in itself. Soon enough, she and Neo began a cardfight at the table, with Neu explaining that she might be able to help both Neo and Haruki. The young man of justice wondered what she meant by this, as he watched the fight unfold in the mid of night

[Hope]

Neu prepared herself for another fun game. "Let's try this one, Kagero.." she thought to herself.

"Red Pulse Dracokid." she said as she flipped over her starting Vanguard.

Neo who was using Narukami seemed quite surprised. She laughed a little at the coincidence. "This is going to be fun especially if he has that card..." The boy delivered, riding Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion, and activating its Vermillion Thunderbolt. A great spectacle, she enjoyed the fight. Unfortunately for her, Kagero was unable to call back the rearguards that were taken out by Vermillion. Nonetheless, she enjoyed playing with Neo, making him take out and bring back his rearguards with Dragonic Lawkeeper.

"Fun isn't it?" She smiled, reveling in the powerful image.

He was panting for some reason.
"Why do you seem so tired? Hopefully you didn't strain yourself there."

She had lost, but she felt something more powerful from the fight, exactly what she wanted. She placed her cards, organizing them back into their deck box.

"Now then, I showed you my Vanguard. Do you believe that I will be able to help, this is a question to both of you. Your goals aren't that far away and you both should try going for them while you're still young!" She said while the waiter placed the check onto their table.

[NeoBuster]

Getting all caught up in the moment of the cardfight, Neo had won the game but Neu was playing to have fun.

"Sorry, I got all caught up in the moment" Neo said feeling bad

"New just wanted to have fun and I played serious.." Neo said to himself

Neo then had a flashback to something Yukino said to him a few days ago" I hope you continue to have fun playing Vanguard and not lose the meaning of playing the game" It was at this very moment Neo realized he broke that promise.

"I was so focused on my mission, i lost track of the fun in front of me" Neo said

But something bugged him, "How does Neu have Kagero" Neo said

Neo then held his head in pain as he was having blurry flashbacks of him using Kagero.

"Thank you again for the Cardfight Neu" Neo said. "I hope we can cardfight again soon"

[Hope]

She took out a hundred dollar bill from her pocket and placed it on top of the check. The worker was surprised at the sight, most likely because she didn't convert her money.

"Oh right, I forgot.. huh.... just keep the change." Upon that statement, the waiter took the cash and ran off.

She turned back towards Neo and Haruki. "Right, you guys I think I can help you both out with something." She leaned back on her chair and started playing around with it a little, then she began to speak again.

"You guys have fun playing Vanguard, right? I mean, right? Right? Basically I can help you guys out. Really simple, just play a bunch of games and have fun! I want you guys to go out and show the world how great it is to just relax, why strength really doesn't matter when it comes to this game!" She got back up and put her hands on the table now, leading a little towards them and smiling.

"See! Justice and all is just, showing the strong why there's no need for strength! The bully asking you if you're a strong fighter? Wierdo in the neighborhood telling you to show them your power? Who cares! Just enjoy the game and tell them this. Show them this. Just promise me that you'll have fun and share it with others, the rest will come to you guys!" With this, if they were to promise, Neu would really be able to help them.

She stuck out her pinky. "Is that, a pinky promise?" she asked.
