Chapter 399 Every Card Has Its Meaning (The End)
My name is Mickey, or to put it more nicely, I'm a photographer.

To put it bluntly, he's just a shady voyeur.

I was 'born' two years ago. Back then, I didn't know anything. I would eat with my hands and wouldn't even pull down my pants to go to the toilet.

Fortunately, I have a very kind woman by my side. She doesn't like to interact with people, usually wears a mask, and takes care of all my needs, including food, clothing, shelter, and education. When thugs try to steal my things, she can beat them up.

People keep asking me what my relationship with her is, but I don't know how to answer. I've forgotten everything.

I went online to ask what kind of relationship I had with a woman who was so good to me.

Netizens responded with "mom," "old mom," and "mother"—different words, but the same meaning: only a biological mother could make such a sacrifice.

I said she was 26 years old.

A netizen asked me, "How many years was your dad sentenced to?"

I can't understand it. With my mental capacity and memory, I can't understand these roundabout words.

I am a patient and only have memories of the last seven days.

This illness is very troublesome; many skills that I was once proficient in now need to be relearned after just one week.

I got into the Spirit Control Division through her connections, and I always caused trouble at work, making things worse than helping. In the words of netizens, I was useless, a burden and appendage to my sister and the Spirit Control Division.

They said those things about me, but I didn't feel upset at all.

because--

I even forgot how uncomfortable I felt.

As long as I forget quickly enough, sorrow can't catch up with me.

I know I'm not very bright, so I use a camera as my brain.

Rather than caring about other people's opinions, I prefer to record all the beautiful scenery in life.

For example now——

"Wow—that's amazing!" Mickey looked away from the camera and gazed at Li Guanqi in the dueling arena, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This is a game that even a ten-year-old could understand.

He didn't understand the chain store aspect, but from the explanation, he knew that Li Guanqi's terminal monsters were all gone.

The heroes on whom we depended for survival are all gone.

In dire straits.

Finally, the one who stepped forward was a Synchro Monster from a Link Deck, someone who had never been noticed before and was always in the corner.

"【Master of Enigma】! You've stepped forward!" Lightning McIlroy was so excited he almost fell off the helicopter. "I want to tell the world that I, 【Master of Enigma】, am not only effective in sending people to their graves."

"It also works if my Synchro Summon is successful!"

"I still have 2900 attack power!"

"I entered the Extra Deck not to be a bullet for [Dark Fluid], I am not anyone's vassal."

"I want to make a proper entrance!"

"Rescue my comrades!"

He was shouting so excitedly that Hongdou couldn't get a word in edgewise.

That wasn't the usual commentary style; it was a heartfelt, uplifting shout from a viewer who had come from humble beginnings.

"That's so cool! [Master of Enigma]!" The audience erupted in cheers.

The clown just stared blankly. He had seen Li Guanqi four times before, but had never paid attention to this little minion in the corner.

He never expected that this good-for-nothing would make a comeback.

Once removed from the [Dark Fluid] deck, it becomes a useless card. [Marys]'s self-restriction is that it cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck unless it is a Link Monster.

Damn it, all of the enemy's monsters except for the March Hare and Maris are gone!
You can't even trigger self-restraint!

Li Guanqi looked at the two dormice on the inside and apologized to them in his heart.

Mouse, was this something you expected?

It turns out that the exception on the inside side wasn't a sign of utter disarray, but rather that duelists weren't triggering the [Marys] self-restraint.

[Dormouse] Such strong spirituality!
[Dormouse]: "Zzz"

"Set one card face down, end of turn." Li Guanqi set his Quick Attack card face down, ending his turn.

We've finally managed to snag a sliver of hope.

"The Joker player still has a [Haul] card." The two commentators regained their composure. "Can we get rid of this face-down card?"

When the clown saw Li Guanqi and Gaikaga listed together in the [Haul], he turned pale with fright.

Is it an "infinite bubble"?

"My turn, draw a card!"

The clown's voice was filled with ruthlessness, as he poured all his energy into this gacha pull.

He suddenly pulled a card from the top of his deck, and the moment he saw the card's image, a twisted, cruel smile slowly spread across his face.

[Six Incarnations of Evil - The World of the Heavenly Demons]!
Pretty!

With this Field Spell, even if Fenrir Wolf is eaten by Infinite Bubble, you can still search for a third Reishardt to reduce three of your opponent's cards and Xyz Summon either Exterminate Dragon or Shangri-La Cocoon.

Before his smug smile could fully bloom, it was interrupted by a calm voice.

“Drawing phase, pay 1000 base points.” Li Guanqi raised his hand, and the virtual interface of the duel arena immediately popped up.

Red team basic points: 5500 → 4500
"Activate the effect of [Decoder - Blazing Soul]!"

[Decoding Speaker - Blazing Soul] let out a low roar, and a ball of virtual flame exploded, enveloping Li Guanqi's entire right arm, with scorching particles dancing in the air.

"I draw a card from my deck!"

The clown's smile turned sharp.

"Player Li Guanqi, 'Lightning Mic,' didn't know how to comment, but everyone could feel it."

With only five cards left in the deck, let's keep gambling!
Li Guanqi's heart was pounding in his chest; he could feel the gazes of the entire audience.

One in five chance...

Please, you absolutely have to come!

"Draw—card!" He took a deep breath, and his arm, engulfed in flames, swung violently, drawing brilliant sparks in the air as he precisely grabbed the top card of the deck.

He slowly glanced at his right hand and turned over a corner of the card he had drawn.

His pupils contracted slightly in a moment unnoticed by anyone.

【Eradicated Name】

This card.
A surge of ecstatic current shot from his spine to the top of his head, making him tremble so much that he couldn't hold onto the cards.

There is hope.
He wanted to shout, to release all the excitement in his heart.

But he didn't; the duel wasn't over yet.

Li Guanqi remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuations, and simply placed the card that would determine life or death into his hand without much care.

This calm and composed demeanor made the clown quite uneasy.

Not right.

Something is wrong.

A duelist who is willing to risk everything will definitely show a hint of emotion when drawing a crucial card or a useless card, but this guy is as calm as a stagnant pool.

The remaining five cards should all be spell/trap or hand-trap monsters.

What did this guy pull? [Ashfall]?
No way, if a [Ashfall] comes along at this time, we can't handle it.

The timeline jumps to the main phase, and time passes little by little.

Can't wait any longer!
The clown raised his hand and waved it, his voice fierce: "Perpetual Magic, [Haul of the Wrathful Clan], effect activated!"

The card lights up in the magic trap zone.

"Special Summon 1 [Kusha-Rage] monster other than an Xyz Monster from the Graveyard."

"Come back! My strongest warrior!"

"【Fenrir Wolf of the Kusha-nu-wei clan】!"

A crimson rift tore open the arena, and Fenrir Wolf emerged, wielding an axe.

"Activate the effect of [Fenrir Wolf]!" The clown swung his arm down heavily, "Add one [Kusha's Wrath] monster from the deck to your hand."

Fenrir the Wolf let out a roar, and its entire body was enveloped in red aura.

at this time.

"Open the cover card!" Li Guanqi suddenly raised his hand, and the cover card in front of him flipped open.

"Quick-attack spell—[Maris's Mirror Image]!"

"Target the Fenrir Wolf on the opponent's field."

A stream of azure data flowed from the card, splitting into two girls in mid-air, one with red hair and the other with white hair.

"I banish the March Hare from my hand." Li Guanqi placed the card into the banishment zone of the Duel Disk and pointed forward. "That monster's effect will be negated until the end of this turn!"

The two girls, one red and one white, struck the Fenrir wolf with their swords, one after another.

zizi——

An electric current passed through the Fenrir Wolf's metallic body, causing its core in its chest to dim and its search to come to an abrupt halt.

"They've stopped it!" Lightning Mai shouted excitedly. "The Fenrir Wolf only has an attack power of 2400, it can't beat anyone, Li Guanqi still has a chance!"

"Pay 300 Life Points to activate the effect of the banished March Hare, and add this card to your hand," Li Guanqi said calmly.

In the audience section, Li Guanqi's supporters erupted in thunderous cheers.

However, a sharp, maniacal laugh interrupted the cheers.

The clown relaxed completely, unable to hold back any longer, and threw his head back and laughed wildly. His laughter echoed in the dueling arena, piercing and arrogant.

“Haha…hahahahahahaha!”

"That was fantastic! Li Guanqi!" He turned and looked directly at Li Guanqi. "That duel with you was truly amazing!"

"I'm so looking forward to seeing your memories!"

The entire audience and commentators were stunned.

This person... how come they're still laughing so happily even though their performance was interrupted?
There's something in my hand!
Li Guanqi's brows furrowed slowly.

The clown stopped laughing, his eyes filled with mockery and contempt. He pinched the card between two fingers and slowly flipped it over: "If I hadn't drawn this card, you really would have flipped it over!"

He slammed his hand down: "Activate the Field Spell! [Six Worlds of Evil - Heavenly Demon World]!"

"Add one 'Kusan' monster from your deck to your hand!"

"What a pity, it seems I didn't get [Ashfall] from [Blazing Soul]." The clown smiled as he watched Li Guanqi, seeing that the effect had worked, and countless crimson skyscrapers rose up all around him.

"You've run out of tricks, Li Guanqi!"

"I'm adding [Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Ogre] to my hand!"

The clown lightly swiped his fingertip across the duel disk, and the deck popped out automatically. Without looking, he precisely drew the card by feel and held it between his fingers.

Li Guanqi remained expressionless; no one knew what he was thinking.

From the commentary booth high above, Lightning Mic dejectedly put down his microphone: "He used three [Fenrir Wolf], three [Unicorn], two [Reishart], and three [Otherworldly Deity], and he still managed to draw [Demon World]."

"There's nothing to say, he deserves to win..." Hongdou sighed softly. "Li Guanqi did his best. [Ogre] can control the top, and he did his best even without a lucky draw."

After hearing the explanation, the audience all lowered their arms, and the entire dueling arena fell into a deathly silence.

The most desperate thing is having your opponent see your deck and control the top of the board.

Only Qi Mengsi heard a different voice.

Wow, here comes a Heavenly Demon World card!

【I tried my best】

【No, that's not right!】Victoria suddenly realized something.

There's still a chance!

"What do you mean?" Qi Mengsi didn't play [Malice] and didn't understand for a moment.

The Joker reveled in the deathly silence. He waved the [Ogre] figure in front of Li Guanqi and said, "That's enough, Li Guanqi!"

"When [Dockyard] is present, you do not need to release it if you summon a Level 7 monster."

"Come out—" He raised the card high and slammed it down, "[Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Ogre]!"

A red light appeared, and a strange man carrying a box, resembling Sha Wujing, appeared.

"Activate the effect of [Ogre] to add one [Kusha's Wrathful Tribe] Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"I'm adding [Preparation of the Wrathful Clan] to my hand."

"Fight!"

The clown waved his hand exaggeratedly forward.

"[Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Ogre], attack [Decoder - Blazing Soul]!"

"Activate the [Ogre] effect!"

"Flip up to 5 cards from the top of your opponent's deck, banish 1 of them face down, and return the remaining cards to the top of the deck in their original order."

Li Guanqi's deck had only four cards left in front of him.

The clown smirked and pointed: "Except for the inside [Three-Battle Talent]!"

The remaining three cards are returned to the deck, but the order is fixed.

The next draw will be [Primal Life Form Nibiru], which cannot be summoned, overwritten, or activated. It's an absolutely useless card, only good for cost.

[Talent of Three Battles] is activated, and Li Guanqi's deck has 3 cards remaining.

"The fight continues!"

The Ogre took heavy steps and ran towards the Blazing Soul.

Attack power 2800 vs 2800.

"A tie?" Lightning Wheat instinctively straightened up.

“No, the clown player still has a venue,” Red Bean retorted.

"The effect of [Sixth World of Destruction - Heavenly Demon World]!" the Joker said in a deep voice, "The ATK and DEF of monsters on your field increase by 100 for each of the monsters' Attributes!"

On his field, Fenrir the Wolf is an Earth-type, and Ogre is a Water-type.

Two kinds!

Roar--

The Ogre and Fenrir Wolf let out a low growl in unison, as crimson data streams flowed into their bodies, causing their power to visibly swell.

[Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Ogre] ATK: 2800 → 3000
【Fenrir Wolf of the Kusha Wrathful Clan】ATK: 2400 → 2600
"go to hell!"

The [Ogre] carrying a giant metal box rushed up to [Decoder·Blazing Soul], swung the box, and smashed it down in the most primitive and savage way.

boom! ! !
A loud clang of metal twisting.

【Decoding Speaker - Burning Soul】Shattered.

As the impact struck, Li Guanqi stood still, his expression calm, as if a breeze were blowing.

Red team basic points: 4500 → 4300
"Hmph." The clown's taunts continued, harsh and arrogant: "I did underestimate you last round, but my victory remains unchanged!"

On the surface, Li Guanqi appeared lifeless and seemed to have given up thinking, but deep inside him, another voice was roaring wildly.

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
End your turn now!
"But miracles don't happen twice!" the clown continued rambling. "Your next draw is a useless card." Li Guanqi ignored him, secretly glancing to the side out of the corner of his eye.

The system countdown has started; there are only ten seconds left.

A familiar yet unfamiliar burst of maniacal laughter echoed in my mind, only to be drowned out by another voice.

"In eight seconds, no, six seconds, he'll announce his next move..."

"five……"

"Four……"

"three……"

Each tick of the countdown numbers is synchronized with the frequency of two heartbeats.

“Two…” Li Guanqi’s eyes widened.

The clown found it boring to talk to himself, so he toned down his flamboyant demeanor and lowered his head to place the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"Cover a card and the turn ends."

As the declaration faded, the clown raised his head again, a mocking smile on his face like a cat toying with a mouse: "Give up..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, stuck in his throat.

Because when he looked up, he met Li Guanqi's gaze.

What kind of eyes are those?
All the previous calm, despair, and deathly silence vanished at this moment.

"We won!!!"

Li Guanqi's lips slowly and eerily curled upwards, eventually forming a chilling smile.

"No, no, no, we haven't won yet." Li Guanqi quickly suppressed the smile that had been playing on his lips.

"Who goes there?!" The clown felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes filled with vigilance.

This guy seems like a completely different person. His face... is he having a split personality?

"This is the last one." Li Guanqi pressed his fingertips on top of the deck, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The entire place was silent, and the weather was gloomy.

Lightning Wheat and Red Bean looked at each other, seeing the same despair in each other's eyes.

The final gacha pull, despite the struggle to the very end, still offered no hope.

"My turn, draw a card." Li Guanqi gently drew a card.

Remaining deck size: 3 → 2
He glanced at it and saw that it was [Primitive Life Form Nibiru].

Unsurprisingly, this is a card that, in the current situation, can only be used as a cost.

However, Li Guanqi's face showed no sign of despair; his calmness was unsettling.

This calm stung the clown's eyes.

"Playing tricks!" The clown's mocking smile vanished. "Trying to disrupt my mind this way? How naive!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and the backcourt card flipped over.

"Open the face-down card! Trap Card [Preparation of the Kusha-gura Clan]!"

A chilling atmosphere swept over us.

Special Summon 1 [Kusha Rage] monster from your hand and banished monsters.

"Become the cornerstone of my victory! [Fenrir the Feral Wolf of the Kushatriya Clan]!"

The data deluge surged once more, and a second humanoid wolf descended onto the field, emitting a threatening growl.

【Fenrir Wolf of the Kusha Wrathful Clan】ATK: 2400→2600
“Two Fenrir Wolves, take one down and there’s still one left…” A groan came from the audience.

Another person chimed in: "There are also [Dockyard] and [Prepare] in the back row. They can revive two monsters in one turn. There's no way to win."

"【The Wrathful Clan of the Kusha】is too strong."

"Just throw [Dimension Attractor] at us when we meet; even gods would shake their heads in disgust."

"I only have one useless card in my hand that's under control, so I have no room to maneuver."

The audience was abuzz with discussion, everyone feeling that Li Guanqi had no way out.

However, the next second, a resounding declaration rang out.

"Advance! Battle level!" Li Guanqi suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.

Battle level?

Everyone in the room was stunned.

"【Master of Enigma】, attack 【Ogre】!"

"You're courting death." The clown was taken aback at first, then let out a sneer.

"With the blessing of the [Heavenly Demon World], the [Ogre]'s attack power is 3000 points!"

"Fight back!"

As the command was given, the Ogre on the field opened its massive jaws and its thick arms met the charging Enigma Master.

The two collided without any suspense.

The figure of the "Master of Enigmatic Codes" exploded into countless points of light under the heavy blow.

The aftershocks of the impact transformed into a gentle breeze, ruffling the hem of Li Guanqi's clothes.

Red team basic points: 4300 → 4200
"Hahahaha! Has he finally gone mad...?" The clown burst into maniacal laughter.

Li Guanqi's face showed no sign of discouragement or despair; instead, his eerie smile deepened: "Activate the effect of [Master of Enigma Code]."

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect."

"Target a monster on the field or in your Graveyard, discard a card from your hand, and treat that monster as a Continuous Trap Card, placing it face-up in its owner's Spell & Trap Zone."

"Choose whatever you like," the clown said, spreading his hands dismissively.

He had two Fenrir Wolves and one Ogre on the field, an impenetrable wall.

“I’ve chosen—” Li Guanqi discarded the [Nibiru] card from his hand and gave a sinister smile, “The [Enigma Code Master] from the graveyard.”

A blue digital stream rose from the graveyard, from which the soul of [Master of Enigma Cryptography] floated out, hovering in the backstage, standing alongside [Heart Encryption].

"This is..." The clown frowned, a sense of unease creeping in.

Monster effects triggered during the Wounded Phase cannot activate the effects of [Kusha's Wrathful Tribe].

"Could it be!" Lightning Mai realized, "Li Guanqi not only chose to use the [Marys] deck to play [Enigma Code Master] in the proper way, but also to activate its second effect?!"

Just as the commentator said, Li Guanqi waved his hand and pointed to the backstage: "[Master of Enigma]'s second effect!"

"This card can be activated when it is used as a Continuous Trap Card."

Special Summon 1 face-up monster card from your Spell & Trap Zone!

"Rebuild your body here and descend once more, my queen!" He picked up the card from the duel disk and slammed it down.

"【Queen Mary's Red Heart Encryption】!"

The Queen of Hearts, in her backcourt soul form, opened her eyes, and countless heart-shaped data streams appeared out of thin air, transforming into a dazzling electronic storm that swept across the battlefield.

At the eye of the storm, a tall, graceful figure slowly materialized.

An invisible pressure caused both arrogant Fenrir wolves to instinctively take a half-step back. [Queen Maris's Heart Encryption].

Attack: 2500
"She's back! Queen of Hearts is back!" Lightning McQueen shouted excitedly. "As long as she returns after excluding herself, she'll have 5000 attack power!"

"Attack the Fenrir Wolf and you'll win!"

A spectator, unaware of the situation, suddenly cheered and jumped for joy, while several experts remained silent.

"No!" Red Bean exclaimed urgently, "The Queen of Hearts will be affected by the Fenrir Wolf effect after returning from banishment, and will be banished from the inside."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm.

The clown, realizing what had happened, burst into maniacal laughter: "I went through so much trouble to bring back the Queen of Hearts, but alas! I have Fenrir the Wolf!"

"I am superior!"

"That's not necessarily true." Li Guanqi smiled wickedly and waved his hand forward, "[Queen's Heart Encryption], attack [Fenrir Wolf]!"

[Heart] Queen raised her arm, and countless pink heart data streams converged into a dazzling electronic storm, transforming into a scorching laser that shot straight toward [Fenrir Wolf].

"Foolish!" the clown laughed. "With the blessing of the [Heavenly Demon World], the [Fenrir Wolf]'s attack power will increase by 200 points, surpassing the [Queen of Hearts]!"

"Smash it to pieces!"

Fenrir the Wolf roared, wielding its battle axe to shield its chest from the laser beam.

"boom--!"

The energy beam collided violently with the physical battle axe, generating a shockwave visible to the naked eye.

The beam of love was gradually pushed back by the battle axe, its energy dissipating. Fenrir Wolf, bracing against the beam, advanced step by step.

[Heart] The Queen's figure trembled, and her brows furrowed.

"Quick-attack spell!" Li Guanqi played his last card, "[Called Nameless Annihilation]!"

Upon hearing the card name, the Joker paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You only have two cards left in your deck, what's the point of playing [Called Name of Annihilation]?"

"It's a pity you're not a master strategist and can't see the future, otherwise you might have been able to put three Fenrir Wolves in your deck beforehand."

"I truly cannot foresee the future," Li Guanqi smiled faintly, muttering to himself, "because—"

The gods who control time and space come from the future.

“I declare—” he suddenly raised his voice, “[Marys <code> TB-11]!”

"One card declared is banished from the deck! Cards with the same name are negated this turn."

Remaining deck size: 2 → 1
Except for [Malice <code>TB-11].

"It makes no sense. Are you kidding me?" The clown grinned menacingly.

"[Fenrir Wolf], destroy her!"

Fenrir the Wolf roared and charged forward, braving the beam of light.

Just as the beam dissipated, the Queen of Hearts felt a surge of immense power, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Fenrir Wolf looked surprised and could not move an inch.

"A 200-point increase in attack power, what a powerful arena." Li Guanqi watched this scene with a leisurely tone, as if he were commenting on a dish.

“200 is enough,” the clown said with a smile, but his smile suddenly froze, and his expression of horror deepened.

To the astonishment of the audience, the Queen of Hearts' attack power began to spike wildly.

2500...3000...

"What's going on?" The clown's voice was hoarse as he looked around blankly, as if searching for a ghost.

The numbers show no signs of slowing down.

3500...

4500...

Finally, with a crisp system notification tone, the numbers froze—

Attack power: 5500!

The beam of light, which had been suppressed by the battle axe, suddenly expanded several times over at this moment, transforming into a digital torrent that devoured everything, and the battle axe on Fenrir Wolf's chest made a cracking sound.

"How...how...is this possible..."

The clown's face drained of all color.

Amidst the clamor of doubt and shock, Li Guanqi spoke calmly, and the entire room fell silent.

"【Marys's Dream in the Underworld】Second Effect".

"If you control 3 or more 'Mary' Trap Cards that are banished, all 'Mary' Link Monsters on your field gain 3000 ATK!"

"What did you say?!" The clown's eyes widened suddenly.

"Three traps except for certain times," he instinctively wanted to refute, but the words wouldn't come out.

He gazed at Li Guanqi's calm face, and the declarations he had made during the duel echoed in his mind.

"Activate the effect of the card [March Hare] in your hand, and banish [Marys <code>MTP-07] from the Graveyard."

"Activate the effect of the card [March Hare] in your hand, and banish [Marys <code> GWC-06] from the Graveyard."

"Quick-Attack Spell [Called Name of Annihilation]. Declaration [Marys <Code> TB-11]."

“You—” The clown pointed at Li Guanqi, his breathing rapid, a bunch of words stuck in his throat.

Finally, he shouted, "Impossible! This is impossible!"

"Player Li Guanqi, Lightning Mai, slowly opened his mouth and roared incredulously, 'Other players gain 200 attack power on their field, but his field—'"

"A whopping 3000?!"

“【The one designated for annihilation】.” Red Bean stared blankly.

Li Guanqi and the Queen of Hearts simultaneously and slowly raised their hands, their palms facing the enemy.

【<Code>MTP-07】, 【<Code>GWC-06】, and 【<Code>TB-11】 converged into energy, and an alarm for a hacker intrusion sounded in the void.

Amid the chaos, a human voice and an electronic voice rang out clearly in mid-air at the same time.

"Disappear."

【Disappear】

"Loser."

[Miscellaneous Fish]

"Boom—!" The red heart beam expanded several times again, instantly engulfing the Fenrir Wolf and the clown.

An electronic storm swept across the entire venue, leaving only a hoarse, unwilling roar.

“How is it possible—!!!”

【drop--】

Blue team basic points: 1900 → 0
Smoke filled the dueling arena, and a cold announcement rang out.

【The winner is】

【Red Square】

【Duel ends】

The six-round duel came to an end.

Li Guanqi stared blankly ahead, panting heavily.

A relieved smile slowly spread across his lips.

He looked up at the sky, and a distant voice echoed in his mind.

“Every card has its own purpose.”

No one is obligated to be anyone else's vassal.

"When the card is in use, it is the main character."

"That's how the card is."

"People are the same way."
