My anime-style card deck is fine!

"What are you playing at?" The girl frowned slightly. She knew that Amon's power was not limited to this, but she didn't know what was wrong with him, that he was unwilling to use his full strength.

—Putting everything else aside, there were only two level 30 Pokémon on the field, so it's obvious that Amon was definitely holding back!

Of course Amon let him win!

Because people always compared Pierre and Eevee in his past life, Amon took the time during the week he went to Sakura to build two partner Pokémon decks.

One of them is Ibrahimovic, the partner that Amon is currently using.

Because it was a temporary team, Amon's Eevee Pokémon were only around level 30—and that was because they were easy to level up in the early stages.

But having said that...

“I have no intention of losing, Wilson.” Amon put the last bite of tiramisu into his mouth, even though the opponent’s card effect forced both of them into a state of peace during the meal.

But this effect is quite cunning.

Once the food is started, diners must choose whether or not to eat it.

If you don't consume it, it will trigger the final 100% instant death effect. If you consume it, you will enter the dining phase. During this phase, you cannot activate cards, so you cannot prevent the use of this card!

Even Amon could only obediently wait for the other party to serve the three dishes one by one.

Then they added 2000 and 1500 points of health.

By now, Amon has accumulated a life debt of 22,000 points. In terms of the life recovery of a typical deck, this level of life debt is simply impossible to repay!

So……

There's only one way!

Amon first commanded Flareon to attack Giant Wilson directly, and the opponent retaliated without showing any weakness. After Amon activated the [Insight] skill through his hand, he successfully used Flareon to release the skill [Phosphorus Fire] on Giant Wilson!

This skill inflicts a burning effect on the opponent.

However, because the giant Wilson already had frostbite indicators, the two indicators canceled each other out.

"What are you doing?"

Middle-aged Wilson looked at his servants, who had returned to normal, but felt uneasy.

Amon, however, calmly slapped a card down from his hand.

"Of course, it's for now."

"I will Normal Summon [Eevee] from my hand, and then—Eevee, use [Yawn] on Absolute Duel Chef Wilson!"

Chapter 209: Irregular (and nonsensical) Operations!

Ibrahimovic, who had just appeared, opened his mouth and yawned.

At the same time, the yawning sound seemed to be contagious.

The surrounding audience kept yawning, and even the giant Wilson couldn't help but yawn.

"When a restaurant or chef encounters an unexpected situation, in order to make up for the customer's dissatisfaction and loss, the restaurant will usually choose to give away some dishes, red wine, or simply waive the bill."

Amon looked at Wilson across from him: "What's it like at your restaurant?"

"It will be free."

Wilson said calmly, "Ensuring that customers have a pleasant dining experience is the primary obligation of a restaurant."

"Really? That's a huge help."

Amon chuckled and said, "Because the effect of [Yawn] is to give the opponent a [Sleep] counter—which will automatically be upgraded to a [Sleep] counter in the next turn."

"Minions that gain a Sleep Counter will be unable to act, activate effects, or be affected by any card effects of their controller!"

"In other words, he will become a snoring wooden stake."

"—!!"

Wilson's pupils contracted.

“If a chef is asleep, I can’t finish the rest of the dishes, can I?” Amon looked at the middle-aged Wilson across from him. “It’s over. Without a chef who can continue cooking, it’s time for the restaurant to close down!”

"...No, the chef can demonstrate, but Father can't!"

Middle-aged Wilson exhaled, his gaze hardening: "Activate the effect of [Absolute Duel Chef Wilson], remove one [Wilson] counter from my body, and resummon it on the field!"

On the field.

A young boy named Wilson yawned and then fell asleep.

However, he was gently picked up by the giant Wilson, and the young Wilson turned into a card, which he handed to the middle-aged Wilson, who then returned it to his deck.

Young Wilson was sent back to the deck.

It was taken away along with the sleep indicator that Ibu had placed on it!

"No matter what happens, as a father, I'll always be at my absolute best." Middle-aged Wilson said firmly, "That's what makes a father superhero!"

To be honest, although the other side seemed very enthusiastic and passionate.

But in his past life, Amon was an orphan, and in this life, Amon has those same parents. Therefore, Amon cannot empathize much with them, but...

I definitely felt the pressure.

"It's a resummoning effect!" Amon was surprised by the performance of Wilson's card; resummoning is a rather rare effect.

Because he can refresh his own status!

However, this effect is not very useful for minions that usually have a one-turn-per-minion ability, but if a minion has a permanent ability, it can activate itself without needing this effect to refresh itself.

But ultimately, this effect is not meaningless, just like now—

Amon's yawning tactic has been broken!

"So you actually have this trick up your sleeve. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to summon it twice more." Amon looked at the giant Wilson, with two young Wilsons still clinging to him.

He immediately understood.

"What if we do it three more times?" Amon drew a card from his hand: "[Eevee's Call] - When I have [Eevee] on my field, I can Special Summon Eevee from my Deck."

"—This effect works on Ibrahimovic throughout the entire field!"

Amon's tone suddenly became excited, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "I have three Eevee on the field. I will Special Summon the last three Eevee in my deck!"

Three more Eevee sprang out at the same time.

Six Eevee cards filled all six of Amon's main card slots, arranged completely in front of him.

“Then I activated the effect of [Eevee's Cozy Hut], adding three Ritual Cards to my hand.” Amon then drew three more Ritual Cards from his deck.

However, Amon didn't rush to use it, but instead gave orders to the Ibrahimovic team:

"Another yawn!"

The three newly introduced Eevee foes started moving around on the field, either stretching or hopping in place with their short legs.

So incredibly cute!

After receiving Amon's command, one of the Eevee yawned at the giant Wilson.

"Ha~!"

An invisible hypnotic force spread with Eevee's yawn.

Eevee's small body and the way it yawns with its big mouth are very cute.

But is it really cute?

Both the middle-aged Wilson and the giant Wilson felt their hair stand on end. The lovely scene in front of them was terrifying, like an endless hell!

The opponent has three Eevee.

But he only had two Wilson indicators left—far from enough in terms of ammunition reserves!

"Activate Wilson's effect again!"

That being said, middle-aged Wilson had no choice but to activate his effect again, sending young Wilson and his Sleepy Counter back to the deck once more.

Amon did not hesitate.

"One more time, Eevee—[Yawn]!"

Ibrahimovic kept yawning.

The giant Wilson, on the other hand, would throw children at people to gradually remove the sleepiness markers from his body.

till the end……

Giant Wilson was hit by a yawn again, but this time, there was no Wilson left on him.

The lone giant stood quietly on the field, looking somewhat forlorn.

However, on the contrary, middle-aged Wilson's eyes narrowed: "The seventh one... Young Wilson who just returned is the seventh card I've returned to my deck!"

Return to deck?

Amon suddenly remembered something and was about to order Glaceon and Flareon to step forward and stop them.

But it was too late; Wilson had already opened the card.

And this card...

Amon and the surrounding audience all recognized him!

"This card was originally intended as ammunition, temporarily placed on the field—I thought it was a card that couldn't be activated, but I never expected to be able to activate it a second time in a single duel!"

Middle-aged Wilson looked on with a sigh, as the card that had been face down on the field from the beginning and had never been revealed finally showed its true form:

"Activate the concealment!"

"—【Pre-meal Preparation: Big Shopping】!"

"Because I returned the specified number of cards, the negative effects and even the activation restrictions of this card have been removed! I can activate this card again!"

"Replenish my hand to five cards!"

(PS: To increase the dramatic effect, the card's effects have been modified, and the restriction that it can only be used once per duel has been removed.)

--Cool!

Middle-aged Wilson held five full cards in his hand, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
