Cardfight!! Vanguard: Spiral Soul

#20: "We're heading out!"

"Joe, breakfast is ready. Hurry up and come down!" Izuru exclaimed, opening the door to Joe's room. Upon seeing Joe, he sighed. "Again..?"

Joe was standing up in front of the mirror in his room, going over his tie, which was more tied into a knot than a proper tie. "I've gone to a japanese school for over three month, why is this still so hard..." He grumbled.

"For the tenth time in like forever, look at the top right corner of your mirror, we glued a tutorial to it... Just come down to eat when you finish that."

Joe looked at the top right corner of his mirror, where a piece of paper depicting how to put on a tie in a few steps through images was glued to. "Oh yeah, I always forget about this. Let's see..." In a few second, Joe had untied the knot he made and properly tied his tie. "Score!" Snatching his jacket from his desk's chair and throwing it over his shoulders, he grabbed his school bag from the floor and headed out of his room. As he walked over to the stairway leading downstairs, he stopped in front of the door to Ryuuga's room, giving it a light knock. "Hey big man, I'm leaving for school. Are you coming today?" He stood there for some seconds, but only ended up sighing. "Guess not..." He muttered, putting down his school bag to properly put on his jacket.

He made his way downstairs and into the kitchen, where he grabbed three peices of toast off a plate. "Thanks for the breakfast, uncle and auntie, but I have to eat on the go. Me and Abbacchio got Royalty stuff to finish before classes start today."

"Well you go and get that finished. Have a good day, Joe!" Yu exclaimed, smiling at her newphew.

"Again, thanks for taking care of the Royalty things while Ryuuga is... Well, you know. It means the world to us." Shoto explained, palcing down his newspaper.

"It's not big deal. It's the least we can. Well, I'm off. See ya later!" Joe said as he headed out of the house. As he walked from the entrance door to the house's gate, he laughed at a particular thing. Abbacchio was waiting outside the house, but was looking away, which alloawed Joe to look at a spot of purple hair on the back of Abbacchio's head. "You have a weird purple spot on your hair, you know that?" He asked, tossing a piece of toast at Abbacchio.

Abbacchio caught the toast and took a bite. "It's genetics. All the people in my family have it, including my father, my grandfather and his father before him, and so on and so forth." Abbacchio looked at the toast. "I thank Payic for many fo the things she does, but her toast-making skills are garbage compared to Ryuuga's mom."

"One milf at a time, buddy." Joe laughed.

"You piece of shit." Abbacchio took another bite of the toast. "So, how is he? Still locked in his room?"

"Pretty much." Joe looked over at the closed window that belonged to Ryuuga's room. 'Today is friday, and it's been over a week since the Tokyo's Finest happened. Just for how much long will you stay like that, Ryuuga?'

(Opening)

"Tell me again how Ryuuga managed to keep himself up after spending days doing this crap..." Joe asked, sitting down on the circular table in the center of the Royalty room in Heiwa, with some papers in his hand. "Why are we in charge of deciding which club gets a bigger funding?! That's stuff the higher ups in school should decide, not us! This is some economy shit! I don't learn this crap in class!"

"Stop bitching about it, you're not the only victim here." Abbacchio replied, looking over some papers himself. "I think the safest bet is to raise the funding of the gardening club, with summer starting and whatnot, and lower the funding for clubs that don't do much on summer."

"Name me a club that doesn't do much on summer. All sports clubs have things to do on summer, specially since we lack clubs of winter sports. Oh, and it's summer, so the swimming club is gonna go wild. That's a thing to keep in mind. And it's not like we can lower the budget for the science club... Those nerds can be angry in dangerous ways..."
