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

Chapter 271 A Fresh Setting

[Congratulations, host, on defeating duelist 'Seto Kaiba (Obelisk)'. You have earned 1300 points in this duel.]

"The duel is over. The winner of the first semi-final is - Yumei!"

The card game with Seto Kaiba ended just like that, and in a way that Yumei never expected.

Honestly, Yumei never imagined that the kind of hand mishaps that often occur in card games would happen here, especially to Seto Kaiba, who has the ability to draw "divine cards" and has earned the protagonist's seat.

"Hand stuck..."

"So I'm telling you, this isn't a problem at all."

Before Yumei could say anything more, Yashiki-dō couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"It was precisely because he subconsciously thought of 'Blue Eyes' that he was able to draw the White Dragon."

"Isn't that just getting stuck in a hand position?"

"It's a symbol of longing!"

After this point was seriously corrected, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on the girl's face.

Like a pufferfish, her porcelain-white cheeks quickly began to inflate:
"Why do you always say such unromantic things?"

"So he lost because of this, and you're blaming me for that?"

"...Is it possible that sometimes winning or losing might not be so important?"

"what?"

"Yes, actually, from the moment he drew that card, winning or losing didn't matter to him anymore, did it?"

"……hehe."

If it were anyone else, Yumei might be able to believe it a little, but this is Seto Kaiba, the ruthless guy who chased Pharaoh all the way to the underworld.

To say that someone like this can let go of their obsession with winning or losing at cards...

how could it be possible!
Yumei wanted to say that, but after meeting Ueshiki-dōji's gaze, he couldn't utter a sound.

If you want to say why...

"Besides, isn't this the result you wanted?"

Just as Yu was trying to correct the little girl's opinion of Mr. Seahorse, Yashiki-dō rolled her eyes.

"You gave him that thousand-year-old staff precisely to awaken Seto Kaiba's memories of his past life and to rekindle his feelings for that white dragon girl, didn't you?"

"is it?"

"If you keep pretending to be stupid, I'm really going to get angry."

"..."

Now, it's impossible to say things like "just to have some fun" or "see if Seto Kaiba can print some new cards with the Millennium Staff."

"Ah, yes, yes."

All I can say is that Yashiki-dō is right.

Anyway, this matter is over.

"So I don't understand what you're dissatisfied with."

"Oh right, that's my question."

With that slap on the head, You Ming really didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.

But once that issue is set aside, there's another thing to pay attention to.

So why are you looking at me like that?

As You Ming slowly shifted his gaze to the female warrior on the other side, her scarlet eyes swept over him as well.

"The Dragon Core Spellcaster" - This woman has now added a new setting that even DogK wouldn't dare to adopt!
"elder sister……"

As he pondered this word that was inexplicably unfamiliar to him, You Ming's expression became strange:
"So, you don't have anything to explain about this title?"

"Explain what?"

"...Is that girl named Kisara your sister?"

Upon hearing this straightforward question, You Ming could clearly hear a sigh.

She closed her eyes, while the dragon eyes on the dragon helmet, which seemed to be alive, flickered wildly, as if symbolizing an unspeakable psychological game.

finally……

"No."

she whispered.

"At least not anymore."

"……Now?"

"Shouldn't you know that I have that card?"

"The dead come back to life?"

"Ah."

Although this setting is rarely mentioned anymore, Yu Ming still remembers it.

Putting aside the Card Printing Company, cards in the Dark Games have always been seen as the embodiment of personal abilities and deeds, and this rule has always been followed in the Underworld Abyss and the Undead World. "So, does this have anything to do with her?"

"Yes, she was the first 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to be reborn. Three thousand years ago, to prevent her from remaining in the dangerous Underworld, I took advantage of a period when the gates of the Underworld were loosening and sent her to the mortal realm."

"...So that's why she appeared in Egypt three thousand years ago?"

"Yes, I originally hoped she could live a good life in the real world, but..."

She didn't continue, but You Ming roughly knew what happened afterward.

After all, what kind of place is that?
Egypt, and ancient Egypt at that, even the end of a dynasty.

If it were a world of ordinary people, the power of "Blue Eyes" would indeed help her survive well.

However, by then there were already millennia-old artifacts, so she died.

As for the reason for his death, although the King's Memory arc provided many whitewashing moments, it was ultimately a change made in an RPG game, just like the hidden ending that Mr. Atem unlocks in New Game Plus.

Based on the memory fragments provided by Duel City, it's not hard to see that the corrupted priest did indeed fight his way to the throne, controlling the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and engaging in a near-life-or-death struggle with the Pharaoh who wielded the Dark Magician.

So what the hell are you talking about?

As this topic came up, You Ming keenly sensed that the atmosphere was starting to become strange.

Gloomy and dangerous.

“If that guy named Seth disappoints the kid again, I’ll kill him and take the kid away.”

"...But he is also a 'Blue-Eyed' soul, so wouldn't you consider him one of your compatriots?"

"So what? That's not a dragon from the Age of Dragons, I don't need to take care of it."

Oh, so your concern for dragons depends on the times? Well, excuse me.

Seeing the nonchalant expression on the cursed spirit's face, You Ming promptly shut his mouth.

Although, in terms of later character development, the president gradually transformed from a ruthless villain into a tsundere with a sharp tongue, not everyone can tolerate his overwhelming arrogance and biting wit.

"Well, so Mr. Seahorse, you'd better pray for yourself. I'm too busy here to take care of you."

What are you whispering about over there?

"It's nothing, it's just... your matter is considered over, right?"

After coughing lightly, You Ming casually pulled a simple notebook out of his pocket.

"So, that concludes the matter concerning Blue Eyes and the president."

After gently ticking the box for "blue eyes," he yawned.

"And the next thing is about the Pharaoh... no, it feels like something's missing."

Just as You Ming shifted his gaze to the headline, he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

"Duel City..."

Speaking of which, what was the core theme of Duel City again?

King of Duels?
No, it's something else!
"Gambling cards..."

'Snapped'

You Ming suddenly slapped his forehead.

"I think I forgot to ask the seahorse for the card..."

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem quite right. After all, the seahorse was in a state of disorientation at the end, so asking him for the card so openly would seem like taking advantage of his misfortune.

Are we supposed to go to the seahorse's place now and ask for it?
That's definitely not going to work; he doesn't want to face Seto Kaiba's grumpy face.

"Oh, that's troublesome."

"what happened again?"

"It's nothing, it's just that communication is such a hassle, and I really want to clear my mind and not think about anything other than playing cards."

"..."

"Of course, it would be great if the seahorse could deliver the card itself."

Is such a thing even possible?

The answer is, of course, absolutely possible!

'Boom dong dong'

"excuse me."

After a symbolic knock, the door to the room reserved for duelists was quickly opened.

A tiny head peeked out from the doorway.

Kaima Guiping!

"Brother Youming coughs."

He coughed softly, swallowing the name that was almost uttered from his mouth.

"I'm here to deliver a card."
