He also looks over at Leos.

-Aichi still looks a little confused, but he trusts Leos's words.-

"A-All right."

-Aichi's uncertain of what to say now...-

Technically, yes? I work for Cosmic Compiler, and what we're supposed to do is to find out the secret of human evolution. But, at the same time, we use these things called Mobile Suits.

-Aichi actually manages to perk up a little when the idea of Mobile Suits comes up. While it's not Vanguard he's enjoyed learning about them from Leos and Sthesia and enjoys having a subject he can sort of kind of participate in.-

"Mobile Suits are huge robots that are used to fight! They seem to have quite a few different types of weapons too."

-Granted he's not happy about the idea that it needs said weapons, but... wait, does Eigl know what a robot is?-

"I... believe I'm familiar with the concept. Not so much with the fact that they're controlled by pilots."

"Yeah, Mobile Suits are piloted by people like Leos. There's a cockpit, controls, and everything."

-Who would have thought that a kid like Aichi would have found Mobile Suits so interesting?-

"They've got to be really hard to pilot... Leos must be really good at it though!"

"Yes. Many of the robots I've seen are automatons; no pilots involved. Of course, many of them are in the Army's hands. Pilots are preferable there..."

"So most of them are automated in your world?"

-And what does he mean by "Pilots are preferable there"? In the army?-

"Yes. The Hylian Army prefers those kinds of robots to pilot-controlled ones, less hesitation to perform tasks."

-... Oh. Yeah, it is an army after all...-

"I-I see..."

-It makes sense. Robots wouldn't have any qualms about following orders and would be able to do what needed to be done... but it's still a rather unsettling idea to Aichi.-

-Perhaps he's naive, but he wishes armies and wars weren't necessary...-

-O-Oh! It's just maintenance work? Aichi must have jumped to conclusions. While he's less solemn now he's definitely a lot more sheepish.-

"S-Sorry..."

"No, no, I should have made it clear from the beginning. It is maintenance."

He blinks and his stiffness fades.

"You... haven't told me of where you're from, haven't you?"

-Aichi hasn't really told that many people about the world he's from, has he? Leos and Sthesia know the most about his world simply because they know about Vanguard.-

"Y-You're right, I haven't... Do you want me to talk about my world? It's probably pretty different from where you're from..."

-From what Aichi can tell their worlds seem quite different.-

-Well... how does he start?-

"W-Well... Back home hundreds of millions of people play a card game called 'Cardfight!! Vanguard'... I actually play it myself. It's a really fun game!"

-And there he is being more talkative when mentioning something he enjoys... It seems Vanguard is a particularly good subject for him.-

"It's a really popular game and it's known all over the world. There are big tournaments too!"

I have no idea how to go about actually describing the setting of Vanguard because for the most part it's a modern setting. I mean it has holograms and some fancy computers, but not that outlandish outside of that... until you get later in the series.

Main Room (Aichi)

-What's the card game about? Aichi's a little nervous about trying to explain the card game to someone considering how badly he did when he was trying to teach Leos... but this time he's not so much teaching how to play as trying to explain the concept.-

-How does he go about describing the story of the game...? He never got to tell Leos about it, but... Let's see, what was it that Kai told him when he was taught...?-

"U-Um... Picture it! Both players both become astral bodies on the Planet Cray. In this form they have only two powers. One is to 'call' allies to fight for you. The other is 'ride' where you become your Vanguard..."

-Wait... this description's probably a bad one to give someone unfamiliar about his world...-

"W-Well, that's the story of the game I mean... It doesn't really happen..."

-... Or does it? His PSY Qualia has given him visions of the units and their fights... Maybe Planet Cray does actually exist? At the very least the units exist considering he talked to Blaster Blade in a vision... It's something he really didn't stop to question until now...-

He doesn't appear outwardly confused; he just nods.

"And what is a Vanguard?"

"Well, Vanguard means 'the one who leads'... It's like the leader of your deck. If your Vanguard gets defeated you lose. The Vanguard is very important!"
