Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

evening.

The coastal area where Shindomino City and Satellite Ward meet.

The roar of a D-wheel echoed as a blue and white, high-tech D-wheel slowly pulled into the newly built residential area.

You Qing took off his helmet, stepped off the D-wheel, casually took out a card, scanned it on the lock, and opened the door.

Since the completion of the Daedalus Bridge, connecting the satellite district with New Domino City has become one of the most important tasks of the Public Security Bureau.

This neighborhood, which is relatively remote compared to the city center of Shin-Domino City, was built under the corresponding policies.

You Qing, Dikade, Hirata Shun, and Lali all settled down here. The reason they chose this place as their home was because it was closer to the satellite district, so they could go back whenever they wanted.

As he prepared to enter his home, You Qing glanced at another house not far away, where a small combination lock box was neatly placed at the entrance.

"As expected, Fudo Yusei is still the same as ever."

You Qing smiled and sighed.

With Yego's help, he and Dekade settled in smoothly, easily obtaining residency in New Domino City and settling down there.

However, the stubborn Yusei Fudo and his companions insisted on refusing any help from the Public Security Bureau.

Yu Qing and Di Kede had gone to great lengths to prepare several empty houses for them in the same neighborhood under their own names, but the combination lock box with the card key at the door was enough to show that Fudou Yuxing ultimately declined their kindness.

"Whatever~"

"After all, we'll soon be opponents in the WRGP tournament~"

"Living too close actually has many inconveniences."

You Qing smiled and walked into the house.

Based on his memory of the original work and his conversation with Yusei Fudo at the last gathering, Yu Qing can basically confirm that Yusei Fudo, Cro Hogan, and Jack Atlas will rent a warehouse near the city center.

They will use that warehouse as a base to prepare for the WRGP competition, which will be held soon.

Despite Aunt Martha's efforts to use her connections, the rent for that warehouse was still not cheap.

So, in order to have enough money to live on and compete, Yusei Fudo became a repairman, Cro Hogan delivered packages and takeout, and as for Jack Atlas...

Okay, while this guy still makes a fool of himself when it comes to job hunting, at least he's not as extravagant with money as he was in the original story.

You Qing walked into the living room in the dark.

Before he even turned on the lights, he keenly sensed something different from usual.

In the darkness, You Qing smiled helplessly, knowing what was about to happen, but he didn't spoil the fun and still cooperated by making a surprised expression.

Happy Holidays!! GamerSky!!!

"Surprise!!!"

"Surprised?!"

"We've been preparing since you went to the base for training this morning! We've been busy all day!!"

Decade, Hirata Jun, Lali, Daigo, Ryohei, and the others jumped out from their hiding places, and as the lights came on, confetti and fireworks went off in a spectacular display!
You Qing took two steps back in surprise and smiled, but looking at the incredibly sumptuous food on the table, the game console that had been prepared in advance, and the TV program that had just started playing, he suddenly became a little confused.

"Huh? What holiday is it today?"

You Qing asked cautiously.

As a former race car driver, his training plan was extremely rigorous. He knew the schedule for each day of the month by heart and generally wouldn't forget any special holidays.

But this time, looking at everyone celebrating, You Qing was still a little confused. He worried that it might be one of his friends' birthdays that he had forgotten.

Decade walked over with a mischievous grin, put his arm around You Qing's shoulder, and said, "Damn it, you can forget things too, huh?"

Hirata Jun, looking every bit the shrewd small-time businessman, unfurled his fan and chuckled slyly, "Yu Qing, I'll give you one more chance. If you can't remember, you'll have to bear the consequences."

You Qing looked at the kind and innocent Lali: "Lali, is it someone's birthday today?"

Lali didn't tease You Qing like the other two guys did. Instead, she shook her head and smiled sincerely, "It's not anyone's birthday, it's everyone's birthday."

"Our...everyone's birthday?" You Qing was even more confused.

Just as he was completely puzzled, Daigo and Ryohei suddenly raised a banner scroll from behind, both with warm smiles on their faces.

Upon seeing the scene in the painting, You Qing's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

At that moment, he finally understood what "everyone's birthday" really meant.

The painting depicts a photo taken a long time ago at a scrap metal recycling plant.

Decade sat atop a mountain of garbage, smoking; Lari and Hirata Jun chased and played around; Daigo ate his lunchbox with one hand while working with the other; Ryohei stared in despair at the metal tracks that had broken down once again; and Yu Qing smiled as he picked up a wrench and walked toward the pile of garbage scattered on the ground…

This……

It really is a past worth reminiscing about...

You Qing's eyes reddened.

Dikade said with a smile, "You Qing, this is the day we first met."

"It was on this day last year that we got together."

That's why we can have such a comfortable life now!

Hirata Jun shook his folding fan and sighed, "It's just a pity! It would be perfect if my parts shop were still here~ That was my first time being a boss~"

"That lousy shop is lucky if it doesn't lose money!" Lali interrupted Hirata's rant. "Besides, why bring this up today!"

Everyone started chattering away again.

As they chatted, a large group of people sat down at the table and began to drink and eat meat as they used to do at gatherings!
Amidst the clinking of glasses and the lively conversation, You Qing felt that he hadn't felt this comfortable in a very, very long time.

In his past life, he had always strived for the championship.

Having crossed over to this place, there has been almost no day without fighting for survival and fulfilling one's mission.

Although not much time had passed since the Dark Marker incident ended, You Qing felt that this time was incredibly slow, as wonderfully comfortable as honey slowly dripping from a leaf...

Everyone happily devoured the food.

Just as the group finished their meal and decided to have some fun, an emergency news report suddenly came on TV.

You Qing's gaze sharpened, and he immediately sobered up from his tipsy state.

The news was related to high-speed duelists.

"The mysterious assassins who hunt high-speed duelists—the Ghost?!" You Qing frowned. "It seems those guys have arrived..."

"Wait!! Enjo Mukuro is still outside and hasn't returned!!"

"This guy has almost never been out of the D round since he joined the professional team..."

"Tsk, this is bad..." (End of Chapter)
