"Arrogance comes before the fall...that name means NOTHING to me. But, I don't play dirty. It was for his own good, after-all how else would he have realised his fear and notice his confidence differed?" he said to the Golden Boy, Kurai had one last remark to say...

"You cannot VOID your past mistakes, only LOOK to the FUTURE. Otherwise YOU will LOSE EVERYTHING!" With this, his crimson eye's dispursed and he walked out of the store, whispering "I don't remember.... what happened .... "

Hazama says to Kurai as he walks past him, "If you don't care, then you do not deserve to be in my graceful presence." He then follows up with, "May destruction follow you. Then, may despair bring you down to nothingness."

After his little outro to Kurai, he decides to head to the Forest, to where he was going to tell the strange guy about what he knows.

Having heard quite a few people talking about there being a new Cardfight Vanguard shop in town besides the Card Capital Shiki just had to check it out, mainly intrigued by the name "Shop Handsome", surely upon hearing about a shop with such a name girls would flock to it looking for handsome men, right? There is no way in earth he'd let an occasion like this go.

Upon entering the shop, Shiki scouted around and much to his disappointment there was not a single girl in there, only people of the male gender dressed in various pirate-themed clothing to fit with the shop's overall pirate theme to which Shiki stayed completly obvious to, along with how it fits considering his deck of choice. In dissapointment, he shrugged and went from table to table playing with various noname no face people that nobody really cares about because they exist only for this post's sake and will cease to exist soon after. Maybe, just maybe if he spent enough time in here a few girls would enter, and besides playing Vanguard is always fun isn't it?

A new day arrives. Neu walks by a small and very nicely decorated building, "Shop Handsome." She feels a bit of heat inside her and then she enters deep thought. "H-handsome huh...." She smiles a little, nervously. She starts sweating a little, the temperature for her increasing even more.

"I am 23, single, and kinda... have never had anyone before... haha...." She opens the door nervously. "This is just... for now...haha.... for me right... gotta..." Her heart was pounding intensely, the morning sun causing her to sweat more intensely, as she opened the door little by little, she had all kinds of thoughts which made her even more and more nervous yet somewhat excited.

She was greeted by pirates and a card shop. The fact that it was a card shop with Vanguard and all made her feel much happier than what she thought it was. Yet, somehow deep inside she was also kind of hoping that this place was

Spoiler

A Male Strip Club.

[Nobody]

Exhausted from all the card games, Shiki decided to lay down on one of the tables and rest for a few hours. In reality he ended up sleeping for way more than planned and would still continue to were it not for the person that entered the shop, his trusty nose trained by years and years of stalking and unsuccesful pickup lines wouldn't fail him now of all times, it was a woman without a doubt. The school-uniform wearing man instantly jumped awake, hitting his knee against the table and letting out a scream of pain, and upon trying to bend over to rub his knee to have all the pain away, because we all know it works that way, he ended up hitting his head on the table adding onto the pain and leaving him just sitting here rubbing both his forehead and knee.

[Hope]

She walked into the card shop further, hoping to find something of interest, maybe even get a few fights in. Eventually, Neu felt something strange along her foot. Upon looking down, she saw a squirming man. "Wierd...." she said to herself, "what do I do in a situation like this... uhhh..." She extended her hand out to help him stand up.

"Do you need any help?" She asked, gazing at him and waiting for him to take her offer.

[Nobody]

Hitting tables isn't exactly fun, god forbid someone would slam their fist on the table each turn in a cardfight, that kind of pain would kill Shiki as just hitting his knee on the table was enough to send him to the ground. When the girl offered him her hand, he completely forgot about the pain and got up in an instant. "I'm perfectly fine and very used to constantly hitting myself on objects." he said, dusting himself off from whatever filth was on the floor he found himself on and ignored all pain, afterall girls were into tought people, right?

[Hope]

Hitting himself onto objects? Neu soon realized that this person may be some sort of tough guy, being strong and all, she instantly became wary of him. She put up her guard, making sure that he would not get away with anything. "Right," she nodded and said to herself as she sharpened her senses and focused onto him and his actions. He was dusting himself off, the dust falling onto her shoes. She had let her guard down. Suddenly, this trickster had ended up deceiving her, getting through her guard by using clumsy tactics and even harnessing the power of dust! His power was beyond what he had presented, she was in disbelief!

But then she realized that he might be a powerful asset.

"Well, uh hi...my name is Neu Edelweiss. What is yours?" She let out a kind smile. 

[Nobody]

This conversation set all kinds of personal records for Shiki, usually by now the female already slapped him atleast twice across the face. He had absolutely no experience as how to proceed at this point and had no idea what to do, "She asked my name so I suppose I'll do the same." he thought to himself.

"The name's Shiki Akama, yes hi hey hello." he answered, awaiting further reactions and visibly sweating a bit hoping to not get slapped across the face again.

[Hope]

An unreadable ambition, full of mystery. There was no choice for Neu but to continue on try to keep herself on guard in order to figure out who he is and what his motives are. He was sweating which was normal, completely... normal. "Yes his sweating is normal," Neu said to herself in order to feel better about how she sweat a gallon due to thinking that this was place was a... "ahem," Neu cleared her throat.

"Nice to meet you Shiki Akama." She extended her hand out for a handshake, meanwhile, Neu started to think. "This is a card shop so maybe he plays Vanguard... maybe I can get stuff out of him that way. Genius." She nodded.

[Nobody]

Shiki looked in awe, a girl actually reached her hand to him without meaning any harm, it was one of those rare things that happens once an entire century and he really couldn't believe it, he grabbed her hand with both of his and started shaking it rapidly. "Yes, yes, hi! Nice to meet you too at such a nice place like this shop for card games!" he screamed at her in happiness.


+1 Affinity with Neu for not slapping Shiki

[Hope]

Neu realized that she may have more in common with this guy that she thought. He's also a vanguard fighter, so she decided that she may as well have a game with him to get to know him more. She pulled out a deck box, this one was labeled "Yukino "Yugure" Espoir," not knowing how much of a coincidence it is that he's using Yukino's clan on the very guy who used to get physically harmed by her. She went over to the table where the boy had hit himself and placed her deck down. She then asked casually.

"So like... want to play a game of Vanguard?...Just for fun I guess."

The stares of the majority of the shop turned to the man in the leather black trench coat who wore the red scarf as he walked into the shop. The hatred for Kurai was strong in Shop Handsome, especially since he was the cause of The Incident. He knew how it ended, but did not have knowledge of what transpired beforehand. His memory of that was a haze. So was the majority of the incident that happened at the construction yard. All that he remembered was that he met Hazama, Neo, some Queen and saw Haruki before escaping the conflict using the brown teddy bear as an excuse.

Vile hatred began to brew between the discussion of customer's of the shop involving the incident. Kurai could not help but beleive that this was also the cause of Neo's strange behaviour. But he digressed. He heard his voice in his head speak to him.

"HEY, GOLDEN BOY! WHAT IS THIS PSY YOU SPEAK OFF?!"

It was him addressing Hazama. "PSY... what could that be? I wonder..." He spoke to himself with a confused voice in a low pitch so no one else could hear him. With this train of thought, he sat down at a nearby table, still receiving the negative glares of the pirates.

[Nobody]

Shiki paid no attention to the name on the box. He didn't really remember the white-haired stalker's name if she even introduced herself to him. She really seemed like the kind of person to skip introductions so that's likely as to what happened. Shiki didn't really know why on earth Neu would have someone's name on her deck box but he shrugged it off and walked over to the table, his deck was already scattered here and required to be put back together, upon doing so he put it back on the deck slot on the playmat and nodded at Neu

"Yes, ofcourse!", afterall he was already playing Vanguard for an entire day so one more game wouldn't hurt, even more so with a girl.

[Hope]

Neu realized that the atmosphere suddenly grew a bit more heavy. While waiting for the boy to reply she turned around to see where its from. Either way, she just didn't want the fun atmosphere of the card shop ruined. Now may as well just be a good time to use one of her titles to distract everyone and give them all fun and nice fights.

She announced loudly and with confidence, "I am Neu Edelweiss, many of you may know my name, some may not, but I am America's Vanguard National Champion!" Upon that, the crowds on the shop turned and clapped, some looked into their phones, looking for confirmation that it was really her. "After this fight I'll be taking other challengers, so lets all have a good time, Vanguard is fun!"

By the time she had finished, Shiki had accepted her challenge.

"Let's go!"
