One of the upsides of the Duel Monster Day Festival is that Haou would just wear a costume and then bend into the crowd and circulate around the Duel Academia unnoticed. He wasn’t there for the festivities or the food, but he could spend the event with his wife. Unfortunately they forgot to tell the other in forehand what they would be wearing, so what should be a date under everybody’s noses had just become an exercise of frustration for him. A lot of girls were wearing costumes, many were hiding their faces and the island was very large. Not to mention those outfits you can’t easily guess the gender of the person!
Moving around the booths after a few fruitless hours, Haou was cursing leaving his phone behind. Maybe he should concentrate in paying attention to her aura, instead of merely looking for a girl. Closing his eyes for a brief instant, he felt a familiar presence, but just not who he was looking for. Still, he decided to check on .
It was a good thing he did.
The poor duel monster was a little overwhelmed. Confused that large assembly seemed to be able to see her and other duel monsters, they were even taking photos. Eatos’ hand was ready to draw her sword from the scabbard as soon as she could sense danger. The people surrounding her seemed more curious -some even lecherous - than a threat. It was until she could feel a dark aura approaching.
In any other situation, she would had raised her blade. Instead a relieved smile formed as she recognized the King of Spirits. Still..Why was him dressed as Gorz The Emissary of Darkness? It was when it finally hit her: many of those around her aren’t really Marauding Captains nor other duel monsters but humans dressed up as them! She felt like a fool!
Noticing the shift in her behavior and figuring out what had just happened, Haou did his best to don’t laugh. Approaching her, the duelist smiled
" I believe you could use some company"
