Everyone was just discussing the mysterious player who had been ranked first in the rankings for some time. No one could beat him, and in every battle, the players lost their Bakugan.

This person was none other than... Masquerade. A mysterious fighter about whom absolutely nothing is known.

At the moment, he was in a basement-like room, engrossed in studying a computer screen. He was looking for information or a potential candidate for recruitment. And suddenly his eyes fell on your name on the list, and he felt an unexpected excitement. It was a strange feeling of warmth and closeness.

— So that's your weak spot...

Masquerade grinned. He was obviously up to something, and he needed to see you in person. He wanted to understand why these feelings arose, although this had never happened before when he saw your other friends.

However, there was one point. He understood that you were not interested in his offer and therefore would not accept his invitation to a duel. But you weren't aware of one detail...

... ... ...

You were standing next to a lamppost, not far from a cafe. And your friend Alice, Alice Gehabich, invited you to join her. You had a friendly relationship, and why don't you meet to spend time together and discuss the latest news or personal matters?

However, this meeting should not have happened. Have you noticed the long blonde hair… This mask… This cloak… You're frowning. And the first thing you said, clenching your teeth…

— What did you do to Alice?...

Masquerade smiled his trademark smile, but without a trace of warmth in his eyes. Obviously, he liked your reaction.

I would like to see this scoundrel, but his face is hidden under a mask.

— Oh? Are you talking about your precious friend? She's safe.

Masquerade was confused for a moment, not understanding where this strange feeling came from. Why does he feel regret? What does he regret? You're standing in front of him, full of hate. He should be gloating. What's wrong with you?
