Returning to the manor, himiko switch places with me and currently curl like a ball, trying to be alone.
Yeah right, like we would let her sunk like a hopeless person.
"Come on himiko, it's not that bad if you didn't summoned the black rose dragon, that will make izayoi proud of you.
Hearing this, himiko felt like a arrow pierce her chest and so glaring at me as I added.
"Moreover, you told your guard to punch yusei."
Stab!
"In front of people that almost stain the 'inazuma family '."
Stab!
"And the worst part, in front of children of some unknown powerful nobles."
Stab! Stab! Stab!
As my criticism was enough to buried herself alive, my tone changed.
"But whatever the reason why you didn't summoned the black rose dragon. It's only you who can decided if you summoned that card."
Despite the arrows that buried in her chest, she scoffed and replied.
"You sound like you have experience it."
At her tone, I couldn't help but smiled.
"Of course, I have many things I hate and regret. Especially a rage that enough to contained a whole world. But I already let go those as I knew that even if I kept it. It will never returned as I will just stuck in the past and afraid to walk towards the future."
Despite my tone, himiko still have a gloomy face but she absorb my advice. For me that's enough for her to know.
As the silent returned to the room, a maid came and bow her head.
"Himiko-sama, the party is about to start."
Despite switch places with himiko, I still have to act like her as I coldly looked at the maid.
"I see, then prepared my clothes. I'll taking a shower now."
"Understood."
As I was about to unbuttoned my clothes. Himiko place her hand in my shoulder in an iron grip.
"Oi, what do you think your doing?"
Hearing this, her face that once gloomy turned into a terrifying face of a tiger as her cold but authority words came into my ears.
"What does it look like, am going to bath."
"Using my body?"
As I tried to remain calm, himiko wasn't having it as she kick me out from her body.
"Nice try master."
"Shut up centur-ion."
...
At evening in front of inazuma's manor, crow and his friends arrived at the place.
Unlike the nobles, dress with expensive clothes. Crow and the others are out of place as don't have a good looking clothes.
"Tch, we look like a backwater countryside."
As the man with blue spiker hair said this. Crow looked at him with grumpy expression.
"The princess didn't tell say about 'former clothing'. Besides, do you really think we can buy those kinds of clothes with our money?"
Hearing this, Jin himuro only twitch his face as he too doesn't have anything to say that.
Next to him was yusei, who looked like he was guilty. After crow explained to him about himiko.
He felt he own her a apologize and also wanted to know what's her relationship towards izayoi.
During their duel, he can see the great anger and pain at her expression. Moreover, the mark of his arm was glow slightly.
Looking at his mark. Yusei sigh as he had many questions to be answered.
Going to the entrance, many people looked at their group but some of them knows yusei. Who had interaction towards rex goodwill.
Most of them scoffed at yusei, while others got interested since he had some connections towards the king.
Once the group arrived at the gate. The first thing the guards did was observed them. The reason for this is their criminal mark.
For the security team of the inazuma family. Criminal mark is something they will not let go as they hold tightly in their duel disk.
Yusei and the others notice the guard's glared, but none of them moved as crow gave a invitation.
Once the personel got the invitation. He click his tongue towards crow.
"Welcome to the manor again mister crow hogan."
Hearing his sarcastic tone. Yusei and Jin didn't gave a expression as they already been treated like this.
But before he the servant even continued. One servant slap him in the back of his head and said.
"Fool, this one is special guest so treated them highly."
When he got scorned by the other servant. Crow and the others was raise an eyebrow and the other servant continued.
"Sorry for disrespectful from my..... Colleague. But master kenta would like to speak with you and your friends."
Hearing this, crow nodded his head while the two looked each other. Unknown to them, this small action was notice by the nobles.
One young noble casually took his phone and deal the number. Whoever he was associates. Only him know it.
Following the servant, yusei and Jin looked at the paintings in the wall causing the servant almost wanted to berated them. Of course, he couldn't do that since this job is important to a satellite person like him.
Upon arriving in the office, the old man wearing a suit was standing next to himiko.
Wearing a white dress and a white rose crown. Many people will compare her to a goddess in the garden of roses.
Yusei on the other hand flinch and didn't say anything.
As crow and the three came, old man kenta smiled and said.
"Please, take a sit young gentleman."
...
When the three man I know sitted on the sofa. I looked at himiko and whisper.
"Am impress, you didn't hide your embarrassment."
As I teased her a bit. Himiko didn't replied but her expression betrayed her calm deminer.
"Is something you wanted to talk to me sir?"
At crow's tone, he looked at yusei and continued.
"Or is it about the duel?"
Hearing this, old man kenta frown but he wasn't anger directly to yusei causing him to sigh.
"No, actually. I just wanted to thank you to let her..... Used her favorite deck once more."
At his solemn tone. Himiko gave a sad expression with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Is there a reason why she couldn't used the black rose dragon?"
At yusei's words, the old man kenta looked at his granddaughter and nodded her head.
Once this granddaughter gave her permission. Old man kenta sigh.
"Yes, my granddaughter.... She got a tragic unfortunately event. You see. This card came from me.
The black rose dragon was a gift for the three girls who treated this card with care. And one of them. Who probably you just met before himiko is Aki izayoi."
Hearing her full name, yusei raise an eyebrows but didn't say anything.
"Aki was a gifted child. In young age. She can used psychic powers but she couldn't control it. But it gets worst when her family treated her badly."
At his tone, yusei became very serious while crow became interested at his friend's expression.
"Normally, I won't talk this things but.... Himiko couldn't do it for herself. So I become your mediocre so you can understand the seriousness of this situation."
"Situation?"
At crow's confused looked. Old man kenta gave a heavy atmosphere that almost choked them.
"I investigate sayer and his arcadia movement. What I saw is..... Unforgivable."
As the three man swallowed their saliva. Old man kenta continued.
"Sayer used a brute force to make the people showed their psychic power. Unlike ordinary person. Psychic power was very rare and to make a good results.
He force people using a unconventional tools like torture, and most of his subjects are children from satellite city.
I believe mister crow hogan already know this right?"
At his tone. Crow gritted his teeth in anger while yusei became darken expression. Jin, who listens to this has finally spoke.
"Sir, with due respect."
As he was about to continued. The guards draw their weapons but kenta stopped them.
Looking at this situation. Jin almost cross the boundary since he had a criminal mark. Causing him to sigh on relief as the old man stopped them.
"Why don't you stop sayer and his group?"
At his valid question, kenta looked at his and said in solemn expression.
"It's because of goodwill. Sayer got his protection from goodwill and a banker like me couldn't stop them. Moreover, the duel king. Jack atlas know this too.
I even ask him to convince goodwill to stop sayer from his experiment. But he didn't listen and even tried to fight me in duel."
After grandfather finished speaking. Yusei and crow gritted their teeths. They never thought that their friend already fall this low.
Once the silent returned, crow starts speaking.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
At crow's words, old man kenta looked at yusei and said.
"I heard you joined the fortune cup right mister fudo?"
Upon nodding his head. Old man kenta smiled and continued.
"I want you to win the fortune cup. With my help. We can stop sayer and his group but the problem is aki izayoi.
She became sayer's bodyguard and she will be one your problem. So once you face her. I wanted to gave you this card."
Placing a trap card on the table. Yusei gave a surprising expression.
"This card is old but more rare than the trap cards in this world. With the cards you been using. I know you can't defeat Ms, izayoi without this trap card. So I want you to have it."
Taking the card on the table, this card is normal card but it's also the most rare card that haven't used in the past.
Upon nodding his head, kenta sigh and continued.
"One more thing, if you defeat her. Tell her that my granddaughter send her regards."
Hearing this, himiko raise an eyebrow but didn't replied.
