*BOOOM*
A miniature explosion occurred after the heavenly knight slashed through the pathfinder's demon. The explosion spread throughout the alleyway like a breeding oxen. It was all over for the pathfinder and he seemingly knew it.

Pathfinder: GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Despite the explosion being well…. Holographic. The pathfinder overdramatically fell backwards and seemingly fainted.

Reishi: Arthur!

Reishi ran towards arthur. Her heart was beating fast after the excitement and trajectory of that duel. Arthur had turned everything around in just one turn and to her surprise he won.

Arthur: Aye. You ok, Reishi?

Reishi: I should be asking you!

Reishi exclaimed.

Arthur: I'm fine. I'm just glad it's all over.

Reishi: Me too. That duel was kind of scary…

She relented as she gasped:

Reishi: That was amazing! The way you masterfully came with that strategy to entrap him with your equip cards!

Arthur: Hah… It was nothing, Really. All I did was just send a card to the graveyard.

Arthur blushed and turned his head to the side.

Reishi: I didn't even know you could duel at all! I thought you were just a bookworm,

Arthur: Ha! Well I am 'just a bookworm' but I also duel in my spare time.

He responded with a smile.

Reishi: Like that? You seem like a pro.

Arthur: Trust me, I'm not.

Arthur chuckled and turned to the pathfinder.

Arthur: I acted confident the whole time I faced him but the truth is that, I was as nervous as ever.

Reishi: Really?

Arthur: If I'm being perfectly honest, I panicked right after Godwinson was destroyed. I thought it was all over.

Arthur relented.

Arthur: It was a good thing I had Mythica in the graveyard or else I'd be finished.

Reishi: Heh, Your cards have great synergy.

Reishi admonished.

Reishi: Especially godwinson! He reminds of-

Arthur: Of king arthur? Yeah I get that alot.

Arthur responded as he looked to the sky.

Arthur: As you can tell by my name itself, My family is quite into Arthurian mythology. More specifically my mother.

Arthur: She's written volumes upon volumes about the legends of king arthur. Every page coursing with knowledge. She was really passionate about her work and what she wrote, she even went to camelot to study the historiography of it all.

Arthur: She named her firstborn son - me after king arthur, she had a painting above our dining room wall of lancelot and she even wears arthurian panties.

Reishi: Uhm…..

Arthur: Sorry, that last one was a bad joke.

Arthur: -But it is true. My mother truly loved Arthurian legend. I think it rubbed off on me when I chose these cards.

Reishi: Wow. She sounds like quite the woman.

Arthur: Yeah…. I guess you could say that.

Arthur replied.

Arthur: Anyway, enough about me. Let's focus on our mask wearing friend here.

The blue haired bombardier walked towards the unconscious mask wearing fiend.

Arthur: I'm curious to see what his identity is.

Reishi: Huh, why?

Arthur: Well, a mystery can't be complete without the reveal can it?

He smirked as he knelt down in front of the pathfinder.

Reishi: Wait Arthur, should we really be-

Before reishi could object, Arthur grabbed the pathfinder's mask and tore it off! The mask made a clanking sound as it hit the ground!
Underneath the mask, the pathfinder's face was revealed. His face was symmetrical and yet curved. He had a right hooked nose with brown delicious freckles laid on it. His eyes were shut and yet still had an endearing element to them. His hair was a bright Auburn color that pierced through the night and into the evening. By all means the pathfinder looked like a normal person.

Arthur: Huh...

Reishi: ….

There was an awkward silence.

Arthur: I have no idea who this is.

Reishi: Me neither.

Arthur: I was kind of expecting a sherlock holmes moment where the masked man would be revealed to be someone we knew.

Arthur laughed.

Arthur: Alas, it was not meant to be.

Reishi: Guess it just goes to show that not everything needs a storybook ending.

Reishi shrugged.

Arthur: Aye. He did give us a run for our money.

Arthur relented.

Reishi: What a weird way to scam people out of my money though. Dressing up like a madman and extorting people for protection.

Arthur: Well, It seemed to be effective.

Arthur reached into the pathfinder's cape and pulled out a bunch of japanese banknotes, which in total equaled about 200,000 yen.

Reishi: W-Woah!

Arthur: It seems our friend's little endeavor was quite profitable.

Reishi: Huh, I guess you can make a living out of crime.

Arthur: haha….

Arthur laughed.

Reishi: I still wonder why he chose me specifically.

Arthur: Well no offense milady, But your attire does scream "Rich Girl."

Reishi: I- Um….

Reishi didn't know whether or not to take offense to that statement.

Arthur: Again, I'm only teasing.

Arthur: Regardless though, that wraps up everything. In the future. milady; I would suggest you learn some martial arts like karate or Judo.

Reishi: *Sigh* I used to know judo quite well but I've been slacking off in my more recent years.

Arthur: Aye. Maybe I should give you some lessons then.

Arthur exclaimed jokingly.

Reishi: (I wouldn't mind being tossed around by you…)

The wind blew strongly as the two wondered what they should do next. Everything in the eastern hemisphere right now was being pounded by the moonlight. From the buddhist temples in thailand to the shinto shrines in Yamaguchi, The moon reveals all truths.

Arthur: I suppose we've done everything we can here.

Reishi: Yeah….

Arthur: I think we should leave this place. No telling what other creeps are lurking around.

Reishi: What about him?

Reishi glanced at the pathfinder.

Arthur: I'll leave this chap for the Domino Patrol to find. He can find a pathway to jail.

Arthur Joked.

Arthur: Well, I believe we should both be going home now. My house is only a half kilometer away and-

Reishi: Wait-

Reishi clenched her fist. Her heart was beating fast and melodically as a resonating sound pierced through the wind.

Reishi: Arthur….. Thank you. I had a lot of fun today.

Arthur: I had a jolly time too. Save for the mugging.

He joked.

Reishi: Ha, I was honestly pretty nervous when you asked me out, But I ended having so much fun…..

Arthur: This little outing of ours has been valuable time spent. I gained so much experience not only for myself but for my novel.

Reishi: (Don't tell me that he only went out just to get ideas for his novel?)

Arthur: -And I got to hang out with a lovely lady.

He winked at Reishi.

Reishi: Y-You sure are a charmer.

Arthur: Heh, I try.

Arthur smirked and grabbed her hand. Reishi face turned bright red and she struggled to meet his gaze.

Arthur: I look forward to our next meeting~

Arthur said sensually. He let go of her hand and walked away slowly from her. Reishi wondered so much about the enigmatic boy. With his waving blue hair, alluring midriff and green eyes that never seemed to waver. She was sad to see him go, but knew that he had to go honestly wished this day could last forever, but alas it could not.

Forever more the moon cast a shadow over neo domino city and a new darkness would soon arise.
