Hi again readers! I am presenting to everyone chapter 10! Back and forth between Akibaster and Earth seems troublesome but the three don't find it troublesome at all. We are going to see what our three new successors are going to do. Hopefully... no one follows them this time. Now then, let's stop my nagging and start this chapter!
Normal POV
Aichi was at his new high school but as usual like his middle school, he isn't doing well in talking when asked a question.
After school, he heads to Card Capital straight away. During the ther few months that pass, some things did change. Misaki and Kamui now has full schedules like Aichi sometime and the 77th Generation has become a little more popular now. Aichi arrives at the entrance and he entered the shop.
" Hello!" He greeted cheerfully
" Long time no see, Aichi Sendou." He heard a familiar voice
" Chris-kun, Lee-kun, Ali-kun! How have you guys been doing? It's really been a long time!" Aichi said
" Yeah. We've come to research the card-playing popularity in Japan, since Japan still has the most Vanguard fighters." Chris said
" You might be right. So, how's Mitsusada-san doing?" Aichi ask
" He's doing well! He's making awesome strides!" Chris replied
" Well, not like us though." Lee said
" Oh? Remind me, who lost to him last time?" Chris ask
Lee sweat drop.
" More importantly, I wanna meet a Japanese maid while I'm here!" Ali said
Aichi could only laugh awkwardly.
" What's wrong with you?" Lee ask
" What's the problem? Everyone looks forward to their own thing." Ali said
Aichi noticed at the corner of his eyes, Naoki was watching him.
" What's up, Sendou? You're like a totally different person here than at school! And you're buddies with some guys from another country? Talk about global! Anyway, how'd you get like this?" Naoki ask
" Um... This..." Aichi said while showing his deck
" What's this?" Naoki ask
" Cardfight." Aichi replied
" Cardfight?" Naoki repeated
" It's Vanguard. Don't tell me you've never heard about it? You fight each other with cards. It's a card game that's really popular worldwide." Chris explained
" Vanguard? Worldwide?" Naoki repeated
" That's right. A lot of countries hold international tournaments, too. You really don't know? It's common knowledge!" Lee said
" Common knowledge?" Naoki said, he placed Aichi's deck back on the table
" Oh boy, you're a goner. Girls aren't gonna go for a know-nothing like you." Ali said
" What did you say?!" Naoki ask, he faced Aichi
" Eh? Me?" Aichi said
" So this is Vanguard?" Naoki ask
" Uh huh. You use this deck to battle. Um, do you want to try it?" Aichi ask
" F-Fine, I'll play along once." Naoki replied
Shin passed him a deck. (Shin: Call me Manager!) They prepared their decks and starting Vanguards.
" Stand up, Vanguard!"
The battle continued until the sixth damage fell on Naoki's Damage Zone.
" 6 damage." Naoki said defeatingly
" So, the match is over. Ishida-kun?" Aichi ask
Naoki bought the deck and ran out of the shop. Aichi ran out of the shop as well but Naoki had already left. That was when Kai and the others appeared.
" So you had your first cardfight with someone from the same high school..." Miwa said
" But I got caught up in it and won..." Aichi said
" Nah, you went plenty easy on that hot-blooded kid, Aichi." Chris said
" Cause no matter how many times you tell him, he kept calling all of his cards, even the ones he could've used for guarding." Lee said
Miwa and Izaki directed their stare at Morikawa.
" What?!" Morikawa ask
" Beginners have the tenacity to devote themselves into attacking. That tyoe's not popular with the ladies." Ali said
" As if you're the popular one." Morikawa said
That caused them to argue.
(Author's note: We've a popular one in the group. Aichi. Hehe.)
" You can't find a fellow Vanguard player from a good school like Miyaji Academy?" Izaki ask
" Nope, it's a school that focuses on preparing for college... Besides, there aren't kids who are interested..." Aichi said
" I see... We've got a Vanguard Boom at our school. Wanna transfer over?" Miwa ask
" Thank you. But..." Aichi sad
Kai suddenly stood up.
" If he bought a deck on his way out, that means he's interested in Vanguard." Kai said
" I see..."
" Get your act together. You're a leader, remember?" Kai said
" Oh that's, but... If Ishida-kun's interested in Vanguard, I've got to reach out to him. Thank you, Kai-kun!" Aichi thanked
" Geez... You're a different person when you fight..." Kai said
Kai was about to walk out of the shop with Miwa following behind him when Aichi looked at the time.
" Huh? If I remember... Today was... Oh no!" Aichi thought
Aichi stood up.
" Aichi?" Chris ask
" Sorry! I just remembered I had something to attend to! I'll see you next time!" Aichi said
He ran out of the shop, leaving them wondering what was so important that he had to rush.
" I totally forgot that I had a half day schedule today!" Aichi thought
Aichi ran to the usual alley and Misaki and Kamui were there.
" Where were you, Aichi?" Misaki ask
" I'm sorry, I forgot." Aichi said
" Hurry and open the gate, Brother." Kamui said
" R-Right." Aichi said
His Kirara opened the gate to Akibastar.
They arrived at Akibastar and Aichi looked through their schedule.
" Um... Let's see... We have a handshake event coming up, so we have to change soon. Next, we have a few photo shoots including the gravure photo shoots..." Aichi trailed off
" O-Oh..."
" Following that, we have a performance tonight, so we'll need to practice for the songs coming up." Aichi said
" What songs are we doing?" Misaki ask
" Let's see... River, Beginner, Oogoe Diamondo, Heavy Rotation, Iwake Maybe. Apparently, the three of us will have to do our solo songs... It was decided by votes from some citizens of Akibastar and the members. Takamina-san and the others had already choreograph the dance and will be dancing while we'll be singing." Aichi said
" So they did it while we weren't here." Misaki said
" Great... Just great." Kamui said
" Just be glad the guerrilla concert is still far. Guerrilla concerts are different." Aichi said
" We know." Misaki said
" So what have you decided to sing?" Aichi ask
" I just recently tried making a new song." Misaki said
She projected her song's lyrics on the her crystal device.
" It's called 'Emotion Bind'." Misaki said
" Then, Kamui-kun?" Aichi ask
" I also got another song." Kamui replied
He projected his song as well.
" It's called 'Saikyou Trigger'." Kamui said
" The what about you?" Misaki ask
" I'll sing 'Egao no Mirai'." Aichi replied
" Since it is already decided, should we go to change? The handshake event is about to start." Misaki said
" Oh, right."
They went ahead and got changed. They went to their stations and did the handshake event.
" Um... I'm your biggest fan, Aichi-sama." A little girl said
" You don't need to call me '-sama', it feels uncomfortable. You can call me 'onii-chan' like Kamui-kun." Aichi said and pat her head
" T-Then, Aichi onii-sama!" The little girl said
" I guess that's fine. It's nice to meet you, um..." Aichi paused
" I'm Aki. Aki Notoshiro." Aki said
" Then, Aki-chan. It's nice to meet you." Aichi said
The time was up for the next person.
" Bye bye, Aki-chan." Aichi said
" Bye bye, Aichi onii-sama." Aki said
Aichi waved to her. The next person came up. It went on for another fifteen minutes. What the three didn't realize was two people watching from somewhere.
The handshake event was finally over. Aichi, Misaki and Kamui went for their photo shoots.
First, it was a normal photo shoot.
" Okay!" The camera staff said
" Thank you very much!" The three thanked
The first photo shoot ended.
" Next is the gravure photo shoot." Aichi said
" I hate to think that I have to wear a swimsuit again." Kamui said
" Quit complaining." Misaki said
They changed into their swimsuits. They prepared for the photo shoot. Mii-chan was their photographer and she made some comments, she can sure make comments.
" Nice! Chan-Misa!" Mii-chan said
" It's Misaki." Misaki said
" So cool and fresh, Chan-Ai!" Mii-chan said
" It's Aichi." Aichi said
" Cute! It'll make a big hit too, Chan-Kamui!" Mii-chan said
" I've already got Nagisa calling me '-chan'. I'm hoping I don't suddenly see a copy of Nagisa here."Kamui said
" I don't think so, Kamui-kun." Aichi said
~ After the photo shoots~
" It's now time for practice, isn't it?" Misaki ask
" Yeah."
They changed and headed for practice for tonight's concert.
It was now the time for the performance. They all got ready for the performance.
" Has everyone finished changing?" Tsubasa ask
" Yes!"
" We'll be starting soon. Please get ready." Tsubasa said
" Yes!"
The opening has started and the performance has started as well.
~ After a few songs~
Aichi was up next.
" Hello, everyone! I'll be going up next in this concert! Please listen to my song, 'Egao no Mirai'." Aichi announced
~ Egao no Mirai song start~
" Mono uminomuko de boku o matteru, atarashi chosen, faun wa tsukinaikedo."
" Issho ni tatakatteru min'na no tame ni mo. Hitori de tachidomaru wake ni wa ikanai."
" Ganbatteru toko, mise atte itai yo ne. Kotoba ijo ni atsu i eru ni naru."
" Sekai no suteji e zenryoku no jibun de idomu nda. Sukiru o migaite."
" Chimu no shori ni, hitori zutsu no FIGHT ga hiraku. Kachitoru nda! Egao no Mirai o."
" Sekai no suteji e zenryoku no jibun de idomu nda. Sukiru no migaite."
" Chimu no shori ni, hitori zutsu no FIGHT ga hikaru. Kachitoru nda! Egao no Mirai o."
" Sekai no suteji ni issho ni ue o mezashite ikou. Chikara o arigatou."
" Issen'issen, fukamatte iku kizuna, wakaru. Kono min'na de, Mirai no tsukuru yo."
~ Egao no Mirai song end~
" Thank you very much!" Aichi said
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
" Aichi-sama!"
Aichi sweat drop. He went backstage. Next up was Misaki.
" Hello, everyone! I'll be up next in this concert! Please listen to my song! 'Emotion Bind'." Misaki announced
~ Emotion Bind song start~
" Ride on the passion, bind my emotion X2"
" Mite-dori to wa kagiranai tte koto. Fuseta kado no yo ni watashi mo."
" Kotobassu dakede tsuyoku naru wake ja. Na itte koto o shimesanakya ne."
" Jonetsu ga kokoro ni CALL! (Zettai ni, zettai ni, makenai!)"
" Omoi ga sakende iru."
" Let me fight for the win! Jibun no tame. Kako o kioku shite."
" Let me fight for the win! Shori no tame. Mirai, yogen suru."
" Kono FIGHT... Sei shite miseru yo." Ride on the passion, bind my emotion X2"
" Be quiet! Be quiet! Shizukani-shina! Kotobahairanai."
" Let me fight for the win! Hageshi-sanara. Kokoro ni arukara."
" Zettai ni, makenai omoi ga!"
" Let me fight for the past! Nakama no tame. Kako o kikoi shite."
" Let me fight for the future! Shori no tame. Mirai, yogen suru."
" Kimete miseru... Jonetsu no baindo!"
~ Emotion Bind song end~
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
" Misaki-chan! So beautiful!"
Misaki waved and headed to the back stage. She did a high-five with Aichi and Kamui.
Kamui was up next.
" Yo, everyone! The great Kamui is gonna go up next! Please listen to my song! 'Saikyo Trigger'!" Kamui announced
~ Saikyo Trigger song start~
" Katsu! Katsu! Zettai makene! Stand! Up! Let's Vanguard Fight!"
" Sai! Kyou! Ore-sama saikyou! Fight! Fight! Let's Vanguard Fight!"
" Katte, katte, kachi makutte yaru nda. Katte atarimae datte ore-sama saikyou fighter!"
" Makete ochikonja kurikaeshi datte 'Zenshin zenrei' susunde iku nda kyo mo FIGHT!"
" Megami ga miteru suteji de shori o puresento!"

" Katsu! Katsu! Zettai makene! Stand! Up! Let's Vanguard Fight!"
" Sai! Kyou! Ore-sama saikyou! Fight! Fight! Let's Vanguard Fight!"
~ Saikyo Trigger song end~
Cheers erupted from the crowd. Believe it or not...
" Kyaaaaa! Kamui-chan!"
... Girls were calling him that. Kamui immediately went backstage.
" It feels like I have lots of copy of Nagisa here all over again." Kamui said
Aichi and Misaki sweat drop. They know how he feel.
" But something feels weird..." Aichi said
" What is...?" Misaki ask
" Do you think... there's someone from the crowd that we know? It feels like they are watching us." Aichi replied
" Someone we know? That's not possible. We made sure no one followed us before entering here." Kamui said
At the same time, Tsubasa entered the room.
" Oh, Tsubasa-san. Is something wrong?" Takamina ask
" Aichi, Misaki and Kamui. Someone is outside looking for you." Tsubasa said
" Us?" The three ask
" Yes. It seems they need to speak to you. Get changed and meet them. And hurry, the three of you have a last minute commercial shoot later." Tsubasa said
" Yes!"
They got changed and headed outside.
On the way out, they chatted for some time.
" I'm hopin' they're not the fangirls. If so, I might be the first one to be kissed." Kamui said
" I don't think so. If it's fans we are talking about, Tsubasa-san wouldn't allow them to meet us." Aichi said
" He's right. It has always been this way." Misaki agreed
" I really hope so." Kamui said
They opened the door. The two who stood in front of them surprised them, they were also the two who were following them.
" Kai-kun?!" Aichi exclaimed
" Miwa too!" Kamui exclaimed
" Hmph." Kai said
" Yo!" Miwa greeted
The three sweat drop.
" W-What are they doing here?!" They thought
" Don't tell me..." Aichi thought
" No way..." Misaki thought
" They couldn't have watched the concert, right?" Kamui thought
" Oh, please... Please tell us it's not that..." They thought
" Nice concert, guys!" Miwa said
They flinched.
" They did." They thought
" We've got some great videos here too! Everyone will be shocked by this! Right, Aichi-sama, Misaki-chan and Kamui-chan?" Miwa teased, waving his phone
Silence...
" Can I...?" Misaki ask
" Yes." Aichi and Kamui replied
Misaki cracked her knuckles and brought Miwa somewhere and took care of him. After taking care of him, they returned back.
" I give in." Miwa said defeatingly
" K-Kai-kun... How did you guys come here?" Aichi ask
" Simple. We followed you." Miwa replied
" How exactly?" Misaki ask
" When you guys went in, we jumped in and landed somewhere different but found you guys doing a handshake event." Miwa explained
" And?" Kamui ask
" Then we followed you guys to your photoshoots. But only the swim suit part." Miwa said
The three were flustered. They what?! Saw them taking photos in swim suit! That's what!
" W-W-What?!" The three stuttered
" Y-Y-You saw us?!" Kamui stuttered
" I-I-In our swim suits?!" Misaki stuttered
" And we got more great photos!" Miwa said
Same thing. Misaki dragged him and took care of him. (Again.)
" Oh come on! Can't I just have some fun?!" Miwa ask
" No!" The three replied
" C-Calm down." Miwa said
Kai finally spoke up.
" And? What are you three doing? Being idols here?" Kai ask
" A little of that." Misaki replied
" Trust us. Get involved with this, there's no escaping this." Kamui said
" Mostly." Misaki said
" The first one who came here was Brother. We followed him too." Kamui said
" And ended up doing this too." Misaki added
" When?" Kai ask
" That time when Kai-kun and I fought at the underground fight." Aichi replied
" That was long ago!" Miwa exclaimed
" So you were here all this time? After that incident?" Kai ask
" Yes." Aichi replied
Kai wanted to ask more but Tsubasa came.
" The three of you. Your commercial shooting is starting soon. Please get there fast. The director needs you three to go through the commercial shooting script." Tsubasa said
" Ah, yes!"
The three of them went to get ready for the shoot.
" The both of you can follow us if you want. I know that you are not from here." Tsubasa said
She walked off and in the end, Kai and Miwa followed them.
At the commercial shoot...
" Okay, action!" The director said
They started the commercial shoot. It seems it was for a new product.
~ After the commercial shoot~
" Thank you very much!"
The three bowed and started to leave.
" That was last minute. But it was fun." Kamui said
" Yeah." Aichi agreed
" I wonder if Kai and Miwa are still waiting for us. I think we left them there." Misaki said
Kai and Miwa appeared in front of them.
" Oh. There you are." Kamui said
" And I got more photos." Miwa said
" Misaki-san." Aichi and Kamui said
" Yeah." Misaki said, she cracked her knuckles again
" Hey, wait!" Miwa said
He got taken care of by Misaki again.
" So... Should we go back?" Kamui ask
" I guess so." Aichi replied
" We really should go. We've got school tomorrow too." Misaki said
" Right. Kai-kun, Miwa-kun, we'll explain all this next time. And don't show those photos to anyone. Anyway, we should go. See you tomorrow, Tsubasa-san." Aichi said
" Yeah." Tsubasa said
They waved to Tsubasa and left.
The next day
Aichi went to school as usual and he also wanted to talk to Naoki.
" Good Morning!" Aichi greeted as he entered the classroom
He looked around the room.
" Looks like Ishida-kun is not here yet." Aichi said to himself
Some time passes and Naoki finally arrived but class had already started.
" Rise! Bow! Take your seats!"
" Morning! Starting today, we've got a new student in our class. Come in." The teacher said
The person who came in was...
" I am Tatsunagi Kourin!"
" Kourin-san?!" Aichi exclaimed
And that's the end of this chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it! See everyone in the next chapter!
