Chapter 12: Tsukuyomi's Comeback
"With the support from Bluegal, Fang of Light Garmore attacks your vanguard! Shine forth Glorious Fang!" Kourin announced as she dealt the last damage to her opponent. "Wow, Kourin's gotten a lot stronger huh?" Aichi asked casually and Misaki nodded silently. Why do I feel so nervous around him? Misaki thought to herself in frustration. "Misaki, it's your turn." Aichi pointed out and Misaki nodded before heading to the play area. "Good win Kourin." Misaki congratulated sourly. "You don't seem too pleased." Kourin gloated and took a sit beside Aichi.
"Do you think she'll win this match Aichi?" Kourin asked cheerily and Aichi shook his head. What? He doesn't believe in his own teammate? Why is that? Kourin thought in utter disbelief. "Stealth Dragon, Voidmaster turn everything to stone with your Evil Eye Prison!" Misaki's opponent shouted and dealt the last damage to Misaki. "I-I-I lost-I lost the match." Misaki stammered, as tears welled up in her eyes. Aichi immediately jumped from his seat and gave Misaki a comforting hug. "It's alright Misaki, I'll win the match for us. You don't have to feel bad." Aichi consoled and helped Misaki back to the seat. Turning back to the play area, Aichi's eyes emitted a pink glow and Aichi nodded to himself.
"Ready to lose?" Aichi asked his opponent before setting up his cards. His opponent decided to engage in the banter and retorted, "We'll see who takes the express train to 'Loserville' then!" "Oh real funny. Ha ha. 'Loserville'? Can't you be more original?" Aichi said and started the game.
Although Misaki was her 'rival in love', she was currently her teammate and she just lost a match. Kourin patted Misaki on her back and tried consoling her, "It's alright Misaki, Aichi'll win this for us." "I-I-I know he will, but I feel so useless not being able to win a game at such a low level!" Misaki sobbed. Kourin was lost for words and just kept patting Misaki's back.
Both girls looked up as Aichi announced, "Final Turn!" "I ride Alfred Early and call Blaster Blade to the rear guard with Alfred's ability. Now I pay the cost for Blaster Blade and I take out Stealth Beast, Chigasumi! Now Alfred Early attacks your vanguard!" Aichi' opponent place a 'Perfect Guard' on to the guardian circle and sneered, "Final turn eh? Nice try kid." "I'm not done yet. My trigger check reveals a Critical and Draw Trigger. I give all effects to Blaster Blade and draw. Tell me how this isn't the final turn? Attack his vanguard Blaster Blade, go forth defender of the weak, blade of bravery!" "N-n-no, this can't be." Aichi's opponent muttered as his two damage trigger checks revealed no Heal Trigger, resulting in his overall damage count of seven.
Aichi walked up to the girls and placed a reassuring hand on Misaki's shoulder, "See, told ya I'd win this! It's alright Misaki!" Misaki sniffled and looked up into Aichi's eyes and they held the gaze. Kourin caught the gaze and got very edgy. "Well, let's see who we're facing next then!" Kourin called out, interrupting their moment. "Eh, er, yeah." Aichi stuttered and glanced up at the match-up board. "Seems like Kamui's team made it to the next round too." "Well, if we want to win, we're gonna have to beat them too." Kourin stated and Aichi nodded. Misaki glowered at Kourin and muttered something along the lines of 'Attention seeking freak'. "What was that Misaki?" Aichi asked quizzically and Misaki shook her head, "Nothing's wrong."
