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

Chapter 98 Speed ​​97 Shadow
a week ago.

In the wilderness of the satellite area, there is an old and spacious monastery.

Cute children were running on the lawn in front of the church. A nun over fifty was hanging the washed clothes on the clothesline one by one. Next to her, Kero Hogan, who looked a little depressed and melancholy, was helping to stretch the clothes.

"Kro," the middle-aged nun said, hanging clothes without turning her head, "you should go and rest."

"Ah...ah?!" Crow Hogan finally came to his senses and quickly said with a smile, "No need, Aunt Martha, I'm not tired!"

Sister Martha sighed softly and smiled, saying, "Kro, that piece of clothing in your hand has been stretched for at least three minutes."

Crow Hogan was stunned and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sorry, Aunt Martha, I was distracted..."

Having said that, he immediately walked to the next piece of clothing, but not long after, he became dazed again.

"Ugh."

Aunt Martha put down all her clothes and went into the dining room. Crow Hogan blushed and ran after her.

“Hua La La La————————”

After the tea was brewed with boiling water, Aunt Martha and Crow Hogan sat at the dining table and started a heart-to-heart talk.

"Kro, sometimes facing a problem is more effective than avoiding it," Aunt Martha advised patiently. "If you can't get over that problem, just go back."

Crow Hogan frowned, took a sip of tea, and then looked at the tea leaves swirling in the cup. "I don't want to go back to that place... and Aunt Martha, you said people should let go of the past. Those people and those streets have nothing to do with me anymore."

Aunt Martha sighed and said, "Kro, can you really let go of those people? Yusei, Jack, they are your friends who grew up with you. I have witnessed your growth and your feelings."

"Team Satisfaction has had a significant impact on you. You really should forget about those things."

"But at least you shouldn't lose contact with Yusei, Jack and the others."

Crow Hogan said nothing, just stared at the tea in front of him.

Aunt Martha pursed her lips helplessly. Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, she resorted to force: "Kro! Now, Aunt Martha has a mission for you! If you can't complete it, don't come back!!"

"What... Aunt Martha, I've already told you, I won't go looking for Youxing and the others..." Crow Hogan lay on the table, "As long as it's not this matter, I'll agree to everything else."

"Are you sure?!" Martha asked.

"Of course, you're Aunt Martha!"

"Well, I want you to participate in the Satellite District High-Speed ​​Duel Tournament!"

"What?!" Crow Hogan sat up immediately. "This... I'm going to participate in the competition?"

Martha snorted. "You're not a child anymore. You can't eat and drink for free here. There's a competition going on in the satellite area right now. The prize money will be used as your living expenses!"

At this time, five or six children ran in one after another. They had been listening outside the door for a while.

"Go join us! Brother Kuro!"

"This is a chance to be on TV!!"

"It's been ages since we've seen Brother Crow duel!"

"Yeah, I heard the final champion will have a chance to enter Shindo Mino City!"

"But I just want to stay in the satellite area..." Crow Hogan sighed and touched the heads of several children with his hands.

Martha said, "This monastery should be under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Administration, but after all these years, no one has ever provided funding, not even for the most basic repairs and maintenance."

"Kro, since you are also a child from here, you also have the responsibility to do something for this place."

"If you can achieve certain results in the competition, then maybe the Public Security Administration will pay attention to this place."

"Besides, are you just going to reject the kids like that?"

"Don't forget, you are their big brother!" Crow Hogan was really helpless. He leaned back in his chair tiredly, his arms being rocked back and forth by the children.

Some of his experiences in the Manchu team left a very bad shadow on him. Everything that happened when he left the team also broke up his relationship with many old acquaintances in the satellite area. He really didn't want to go back.

But if participating in the competition can help children have a better life later on...

Well, he was willing to give it a try.

Besides, he came back in such a hurry that he didn't prepare any gifts for everyone. This time, he would make up for it.

Crow Hogan took a deep breath and jumped up from his chair: "Okay! I'll go! But Aunt Martha, you have to do me a small favor!"

"You say." Martha smiled with relief.

"Help me make a bigger cloak, preferably one with a hood that can cover my face. I don't want to be recognized by others!" said Crow Hogan.

Martha nodded in agreement.

The cheers of children suddenly rang out around...

"Just... to give the children a better life..." Fudo Yusei's eyes dimmed.

On the street, Crow Hogan, riding his D-wheel, said, "That's right. Yusei, please forgive me. I'll go back after the game. Please don't tell anyone else about my situation."

"But your identity will be exposed tomorrow and everyone will know it." Fudo Yusei said firmly.

Crow Hogan was stunned.

Fudo Yusei said, "Did you see the duelist I fought today? His name is You Qing. If you duel with him, you will definitely be forced to use Black Feather."

"Oh, is that so?" Crow Hogan sneered. He was about to blurt out "Youxing, you lost because you are too weak", but he quickly remembered that there had been some unpleasantness in the Manchu team because of such words.

When the words came to his lips, he took them back and just said, "I don't think so."

"Okay, Yusei, I have to go."

"It's too conspicuous here. I don't want to run into anyone I know."

"For the sake of our past friendship, don't tell anyone else that I'm back."

"I'll leave after this competition is over."

Fudo Yusei asked, "When will you be back?"

Crow Hogan's eyes darkened. "Let's talk about it later. Anyway, I won't lose to that guy you mentioned."

"boom------------------"

The roar of the D-wheel sounded from the street. Crow Hogan, wearing a large black cloak, put his hood back on and disappeared at the end of the street.

Looking at his old friends walking away, Yusei Fudo felt very lost. He had never expected that the Satisfaction Team, which had once brought them hope, would become a shadow in Kro's heart, making him so disgusted with the place where they had once fought together...

Jack, Crow, Ghost Willow...

They were clearly best friends in the past...

In the cold wind, Yusei Fudo walked back to the D-wheel and prepared to go to the appointment. Although he lost the first duel, his friends still prepared a big meal for him.

But just as he got on the D-trolley, two security D-trolleys sped past on the street next to him!
One of them is a sheriff from the Public Security Administration.

And the other person...

It was Kyosuke Kiyanagi, still wearing his prison uniform?!
