Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 152 The Price of Watching

That feeling comes again.

It’s like diving deep into the ocean, with the body enveloped in a comfortable yet heavy fluid, yet also like freely falling in the air.

I wanted to call out something, but the feeling of relaxation made my senses become sluggish.

Maybe, just maybe it would be better to rest a little longer?
"Wake up, now is not the time to rest."

However, when that thought suddenly emerged in his mind, he heard another voice.

‘Crack’

Accompanied by the sound of leaping and boiling flames, when I came to my senses, what appeared in front of me was an ordinary campfire.

Looking closely, it seemed like there were a lot of people surrounding there.

Demons, warriors, magicians, and further back you can see resting dragons and beasts.

Faintly, they seemed to sense something and turned around.

"Curry~"

The little devil opened his arms, but just as he was about to rush over, the witch on the side grabbed his back.

Under the flickering campfire, the witch seemed to be silent, but her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak.

how to say?

"The original card wasn't that beautiful..."

The moment the words came out of his mouth, You Ming couldn't help laughing.

However, she still did not respond and just looked at him quietly.

After a moment of silence, You Ming finally took a deep breath:

"thank you all."

To be honest, he didn't know what he should be thankful for.

Even given his status, what he should really say is something else.

"sorry."

He lowered his head, but at this moment, he felt a touch of warmth.

At some point, the witch had placed her hand on his cheek.

"Shouldn't you say this to us?"

"..."

"Compared to us, there's someone who has fought alone until now, risking everything for this, isn't that right?"

In the light of the campfire, that gentle smile looked extremely dazzling.

He wanted to answer something, but the dazzling light seemed to become a physical entity, blocking all his trivial questions and sophistry in his throat.

"I...I know."

Finally, after receiving a response, the dazzling light gradually faded away.

Gradually, the witch's face became dim.

One by one, the figures disappeared.

I couldn't see anything, as if my body was immersed in a dark wave.

However, You Ming has already gotten used to this kind of thing.

There is no need to be nervous or struggle. Soon, a faint glow comes into view.

A spacious but closed room, empty shelves and tables, and walls covered with scratches, as if they had been through some kind of torture.

All of this inevitably made You Ming feel familiar, of course, including that guy.

"Finally woke up?"

"Xia Di..."

Looking at the monk sitting quietly in front of him, You Ming just sighed.

"So what's this? I beat the final boss, and after a cg, I'm told to start the second round at the same place?"

"..."

Perhaps he didn't understand what You Ming was saying at all, the vampire monk just looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

At last……

“It’s not over yet.”

"Yes, yes, that's what they said in the second round."

"..."

Looking at You Ming's subtle expression, Xia Di hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.

Gradually, his originally solid figure was becoming illusory.

"Let's end this as soon as possible."

Finally, it completely disappeared, leaving only those words that sounded like persuasion.

"It's not just for the world, it's for yourself."

But it’s precisely because of this that it makes people laugh:
"You came out all this time to say this nonsense? Didn't you say you had something important to say?!"

Just after Shadi disappeared, the complaining voice of the house boy finally rang out:
"If I didn't know, I would have thought he solved these troubles by himself."

"After all, he's the famous Millennium Director."

"director?"

The house boy didn't seem to understand the meaning of this word.

"Does he make movies?"

"He doesn't shoot. He writes the script, but the script he writes isn't particularly good, and it often goes off track."

"Drifting off track?"

Looking at the girl's confused look, You Ming couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head.

"I'll tell you in detail later. Right now we have other things to do."

"Ok!"

After coming back to his senses, the boy nodded.

"By the way, You Ming, you gave it to me before..."

She took out the wristband and the matching pistol again.

"I'll give this back to you." "Yes."

"Here's the card."

"Well, thank you for keeping it for me."

"But Mr. Chaos Warrior said he needed to stabilize the current battle situation first, so he left."

"He's the Pharaoh after all. He's definitely more needed on the battlefield outside than wasting time here."

"The other thing is..."

"Just what?"

“He’s always been there.”

For some reason, You Ming's breathing stopped.

Although Yashiki-do didn't say it explicitly, many figures quickly emerged in Youming's mind.

Humans, warriors, angels, demons.

He has many different identities, and he has many different endings in the official setting, even including that thing.

'tick'

When You Ming finally turned his gaze towards the door, he only saw a broken figure.

Beneath the green rag cloak, the seemingly strong body was covered with mottled marks, and purple corpse poison continued to seep out of those wounds that seemed like they would never heal.

"Ghoul."

As he recited this word, You Ming felt a lump in his throat.

At the same time, the zombie turned its head, and a cold light flashed in its lifeless eyes.

"Gu..."

The giant zombie opened its mouth, saliva oozing out from between its sharp teeth, and its ferocious expression looked as if it was about to choose someone to devour.

"You Ming, I think it's better to be careful."

Watching this scene, even the house boy couldn't help but warn.

"That body... that ghoul is now completely a parasite controlled by the fungus and toxins. I don't know if he has any sanity left. He..."

"He has."

You Ming said in a low voice.

Facing the fierce gaze, the boy walked over slowly.

As he got closer, the ghoul whimpered louder, and the whispers echoing in its throat seemed enough to stir up the creature's instinctive fear.

But in the end...

"Jera." -
You Ming called out in a low voice.

At that moment, the beast-like roar froze.

"I'm sorry for leaving without saying hello to you properly, and..."

Facing the almost completely dull gaze of the ghoul, You Ming simply slowly placed the card in his hand on the ground.

"That bastard Xia Di left nothing behind, so these things..."

Blue Card, Ritual Monster - "Jera"

In addition to these, there are also various conventional traps and various equipment magic.

"You left these for me, right?"

Staring at the cards on the ground, the ghoul just tilted his hideous head.

"flat……"

The sharp teeth, which seemed to be used to relieve stress when biting prey, made an indistinct sound.

"Safety……."

In a trance, there was a breeze blowing in the dark corridor. Following the direction of the breeze, You Ming couldn't help but look at the wall in the room.

"must……"

Those crooked and fierce scratches, those twisted handwriting:

"All is well."

"...You left that message for me."

He suddenly realized the truth, yet felt ashamed. Complex emotions surged, and You Ming had a lot to say.

but……

"Have I been of any help?"

Facing the gaze that seemed to be filled with some kind of expectation, You Ming just tried his best to squeeze out these words from his throat.

"Well, you did a good job."

"Really? My mission is accomplished."

Finally, with that calm roar, the ghoul's body gradually began to dissipate.

When I came to my senses, that strong body had completely disappeared.
