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

Chapter 218 The World and the Underworld

Katsuya Jonouchi, the true second male lead in the original work, is a growth-oriented character.

Maybe both Pharaoh and the president are very popular, but if they really want to get along as friends, Mr. Jonouchi, who is trying his best for friendship, is the first choice.

After all, among that group of people, compared to the president who has a "dual personality" and punishes evil and promotes good, the cool and stylish Pharaoh, and the cold and arrogant enemy, Mr. Jonouchi himself does not have so many "thresholds".

After changing his temper as a campus bully, he is just an ordinary high school student.

"Just casually striking up conversations with others, bringing up topics on my own, wantonly enjoying my youth... That's how it should be."

"So what happened?"

"No, how should I put it, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the way he looked at me."

When she was asking the questions, Jonouchi-san seemed very enthusiastic, and her tendency to easily fall into delusion was exactly the same as in the anime.

But now, he was just hiding in the corner and observing something.

then……

"!!!"

When You Ming followed the obvious line of sight, he quickly looked away as if frightened by something.

"No, that girl is clearly there. Look, she's eating cake next to that man, isn't she?"

"But there's no one else over there, brother."

"So I said he was making excuses."

"Hey, Jonouchi, are you still immersed in the previous duel?"

"Oh no, brother, you need to adjust yourself in this situation!"

"So it's definitely not an illusion, I really saw it!!"

Looking at Jonouchi's anxious look that seemed inexplicable, You Ming quietly shifted his gaze away.

"never mind."

Anyway, now Jonouchi and Peacock Dance have also arrived, and several important characters in the original quarterfinals can be said to be fully present.

As for the rest, Lishid had been knocked down by him a long time ago. Although it was unknown whether he had regained consciousness or not, there was no point for him to continue participating in the competition. Malik had already turned into six-year-old mode.

As for a certain woman with an equally sinister style of playing cards...

"Mr. You Ming."

The calling voice came, and when You Ming came to his senses, the Egyptian woman had appeared in front of him silently.

Of course, this actually caused quite a stir:
"Look, I told him there was definitely something wrong with him, and now a woman wearing a veil appears before him!"

"Jounouchi, I don't remember you being the kind of man who would judge others without permission!"

"Wu...why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

After gently cleaning his ears, You Ming easily put the noisy sounds out of his mind.

"So, have you made up your mind? Actually, it's not impossible if you want to participate."

"That's no longer necessary."

Facing this question, the woman just shook her head calmly.

"I'm just a weak woman who's not good at dueling."

"what?"

Oh no, then who almost beat up the president?

You Ming really wanted to complain something, but the beautiful Miss Isis did not give him such an opportunity.

The brown fingers slowly stretched to the neck and slowly took off the golden jewelry.

"The only thing that allowed me to gain an advantage during that sacred ritual was the power of this 'Millennium Jewelry'. It was because of it that I was able to briefly peer into the future."

Isis whispered. "Ever since my brother chose to abandon his duty, I have been acting according to the visions I had foreseen."

"Does that include handing over the Giant God to Kaiba?"

"Indeed, in my foreseen scenario, Obelix's power would arouse Kaiba Seto's desires, causing him to initiate the Duel City. Ultimately, he would be consumed by his own ambition and fall under the bomb buried within it."

"Then, you will die alongside your brothers as a gravekeeper, fully fulfilling your duties as a gravekeeper and allowing the Pharaoh to regain his lost memories."

"...As expected, nothing can be hidden from Lord Pluto's eyes."

Facing Isis's humble demeanor, You Ming couldn't help but reach out and scratch his cheek.

To be honest, these were not told to him by Pluto's identity, but were just hints given by some plots in the animation and comics.

After all, according to that storyline, Kaiba should have fallen to Isis in the quarterfinals, and considering she called it a 'sad wish', this was the only possible outcome.

"But just a month ago, when I was about to officially contact Mr. Seto, that incident happened."

"Dimensional Fusion?"

The war initiated by the underworld caused the forgotten abyss to move closer to the human world, which in turn caused a phenomenon similar to dimensional collapse.

"From then on, the development of events was completely different from what I had anticipated. First, there was the resurrection of Bekas, then the involvement of the International Illusion Society and various governments, and finally... you."

"I?"

"Yes."

Under You Ming's increasingly strange gaze, Isis nodded.

"From the moment you arrived in this world, a shrouding darkness appeared before my eyes, completely obscuring the power of the Millennium Jewel."

"Don't make me sound like a big devil, okay..."

Facing You Ming's distressed expression, Isis simply smiled:

"The current developments are completely beyond my control and beyond the capabilities of the gravekeeper, so I can only hand them all over."

She gently handed over the thousand-year-old jewelry, but You Ming did not reach out to take it immediately.

After staring at the thousand-year-old jewelry that seemed to be emitting a strange luster for a long time, he slowly shook his head:
"You should know that handing it over to me isn't the best solution. That nameless pharaoh is the true owner of these artifacts."

"It makes no difference. You claim to be the one who gives the Pharaoh the Trial... but this is actually the responsibility of us gravekeepers."

Oh, so while I was bragging, I also took the blame for you, right?
Facing Isis's smile, You Ming thought about saying something, but finally sighed:
"Okay, these things are just what I have here."

The moment he reached out to take the jewelry, You Ming suddenly felt that he had touched something strange.

With a light stroke of the finger, a card was easily scratched out from the inside of the jewelry.

On the card, humans and skulls intersect, as if echoing each other.

Many people are familiar with the name of this card:

"The Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld..."

"I'll leave everything to you, Mr. You Ming."

When he looked up, You Ming only saw the woman bowing in front of him.

"Finally, please be careful of another tomb-guarding faction."

"Ok?"

"That man named Shadi Xin, he broke the final barrier to the underworld here in this world..."

Suddenly, the sound stopped.

Isis wanted to say something, but she felt an invisible force pressing on her heart.

The pressure made it impossible for her to see clearly what was in front of her. Only a ball of fire was burning quietly:
"…Tell me about this matter in detail."
