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

Chapter 16 Everything Can Be Played as Cards

Seahorse Noa.

As a character that appeared in the original animation, his existence can be said to have truly established the positioning of the Kaiba brothers in the animation, completely liberating the brothers from the characterization of "ungrateful wolves who devoured their adoptive father."

In the original work, no matter how the president brothers modified their characters, they could not avoid the fact that they forced their adoptive father to death. In the Noa chapter, the animation directly modified the reason why Gosaburo adopted the Kaiba brothers, changing the momentary appreciation and whim to a long-planned plan, thus becoming a two-way rush of "helplessness" and "fighting evil with evil".

Although some people have complaints about this original setting, in fact, judging from the subsequent impact alone, this design is undoubtedly successful.

In fact, it was from the various original episodes of the animation that Mr. Kaiba gradually got rid of his villain identity, became a nemesis, and successfully kicked out Mr. Fan Gu to take the position of the second male lead.

In other words, you can basically rest assured where Hippocampus exists.

At least the president that everyone is familiar with will not be the big beast in the early original work. After all, he even gave his early green-haired and white-clothed image to Kaimanoa.

happy……

You Ming subconsciously tried to pull up the corners of his mouth, but he found that he couldn't do it, and his whole expression was stiff.

There's no fun at all.

After hearing several names that should have been familiar, You Ming suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness.

Originally, he thought that as a time traveler, he would feel a certain inexplicable joy when he saw the animated characters.

But now he found that it was not the case. Instead, he felt a strange sense of time and space confusion.

What is this wave called?
Show you guys an original speedrunning animation?
But this isn't an animated plot, is it?

"Let's put aside the matter of the red eyes for now. I called you here for another matter."

When You Ming came back to his senses, he happened to meet those blue eyes.

He was clearly a child, and not quite tall enough, but his eyes looked down at me.

"Are you the duelist that Keith met on the road?"

"Yes, Lord Naia, he's the boy I picked up on the road. Let me tell you, he's quite good at dueling..."

"Keith."

"..."

"Are you tired too?"

Although Noa looked like a 10-year-old child, Keith acted a little timid and embarrassed.

In the suffocating silence, only Noah's childish voice echoed:
"Why don't you return the duel disk first and then rest for a while. We have another battle plan that requires your participation later."

"Okay, as long as the money is in place, everything will be fine."

Although he had a nonchalant look before, at this moment, Keith had already started rubbing his hands around the flies.

"That's it, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now."

'Crack'

The mechanical door closed again, and only You Ming and Haimana were left in the room.

However, Noa had no intention of letting the situation sit awkwardly.

"Anyway, sit down first."

He gestured with his hand, a smile as warm as spring breeze on his face.

"Don't be nervous, just relax. You are safe here."

"……it is good."

After issuing a short response, You Ming couldn't help but sigh.

How can I put it? I can only say that he is worthy of being a graduate of elite education.

As the future heir of the Kaiba Group, although Noa received an imperial education, he is impeccable in dealing with people.

But unfortunately, You Ming couldn't stand this attitude.

It's not that he hates negotiations, but he's just not used to that kind of 'special treatment'.

Rather than being named so obviously, he would rather be a nobody.

He even felt that he missed Keith, whom he had just met not long ago. At least Keith didn't smile so politely all the time.

"Awkward! Awkward!"

It was the crow that landed on Noa's shoulder, and its loud cries made the atmosphere even more eerie.

At this moment, not sure if it was due to the light, You Ming always felt that there was always a purple light surging from the crow's body, which made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Oh, sorry, it's just a chatterbox. It says the same nonsense every day."

Reaching out and scratching the crow's head, Noa was the first to apologize.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my partner."

To be honest, You Ming was indeed quite embarrassed.

Although he didn't know the specific principle, the stinky crow did indeed call out all the random thoughts in his mind.

But he must change his rhetoric:
"It's actually quite interesting, since normal crows can't talk."

And in this kind of haunted place, these seemingly ordinary animals may have another identity.

"Is it a card elf?"

"Yes, it's the card that has been with me since a long time ago."

As for which card it was, You Ming couldn't identify it for a moment.

But it doesn’t matter…

‘Wow’

Suddenly, the crow spread its wings.

It left its owner and landed on the crystal ball on the table. Now I know it!
"Bataiwu?"

"Yeah, a card I really like."

"I like it too."

Of course, I like the effect.

"It seems like we should have a lot in common then."

"Ah."

Then, the scene fell into an eerie silence again.

"Awkward! Awkward!"

It’s better to stew this stinky crow.

"Danger! Danger!"

"..."

Looking at the crow that kept yelling, You Ming couldn't help but rub his head.

"calm down!"

Amidst the bird's howling that was like a text-based emotional translator, You Ming finally carefully restrained his emotions.

He raised his head and looked at Haimanea.

Looking at the apologetic smile on the child's face, You Ming smiled slightly:
"I think we should stop testing each other here."

Noa was stunned, and then the apologetic smile gradually disappeared.

After all, he is the heir of Kaiba Group, and such a person would never bring a crow that "ruins the atmosphere" with him just on a whim.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Bataiwu should be able to detect changes in my emotions... I think you're planning to use that crow to disrupt my thinking, giving you an advantage and control in the conversation and negotiation. Am I right?"

“Oops! Oops!”

Just as You Ming opened his mouth to say that, the crow that ruined the atmosphere started yelling again.

To be honest, if he continued to think from this perspective, You Ming might have to consider whether the crow's cry was intended to confuse people, but at this time there was no need to care about the meaning of its existence.

"I actually don't like this kind of intrigue. It's meaningless and makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Anyway, from the moment you choose to flip the table, there is only one thing you need to do:
"Put everything on the table and talk openly and honestly. I think since you took the initiative to find me, it means that there should be some room for communication or even transaction between us, right?"

Having said that, You Ming narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the boy in front of him - Haimanea, who seemed to have just come to his senses.

"That's true."

I don't know what he thought of, but he laughed.

"It's my preconceived notion. For many reasons, I always subconsciously treat the people I'm talking to as politicians, businessmen, or something like that. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, please allow me to apologize for it."

At this moment, the strange dullness and gloom disappeared, and even the entire office became much brighter.

"However, even though everything is kept simple, some routine is still necessary."

Noa leaned forward slightly, supporting her chin with her two small hands.

"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Haimanaia. I currently live here and am responsible for everything here, including its safety."

"I'm You Ming, just an ordinary student."

This is not a lie either.

Although he didn't know what his original body was, he was indeed an ordinary student before he traveled through time.

And this identity would not arouse any suspicion, at least Noa would definitely not be able to find any problems.

"Students... I used to dream of campus life too."

He casually opened his drawer and reached in to look for something.

"Then let's begin the interview. Although Keith did praise your personal abilities, I still want to get to know you better."

"Do I need to fill out any registration form?"

"Do not."

'patta'

There was a short muffled sound, and when I came to my senses, a stack of cards was placed on the table.

"Ok?"

You Ming's gaze subconsciously moved upwards, but what he saw was Naiya's gentle smile.

"Since you don't like those tedious rules and trivialities, let's communicate in the simplest way."

And this method can basically be guessed:
"duel."

Noa spoke up.

"Of course, there's no need to gamble like those guys out there."

He pressed a button on the table, and then the 'card pad' that You Ming was familiar with appeared on the desk.

"Let's just have a simple game."

"……Row."

【You have a new challenger! 】

　Ah, I just realized there is something like the author's words below, but I don't know what to say. Anyway, please take care of it.
