My anime-style card deck is fine!

—Isn't your own food better?

However, Hana Uzaki was clearly very interested.

She excitedly took the card and went to the player's seat. Because the girl's figure was so outrageous, she quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Then everyone started speculating about what kind of hero Uzaki Hana would be.

The greatest hero was the first to be rejected.

Because it's too 'small'.

"I guess it's the Giant Hero!"

"No, no, no, it should be the Hero of Shaking..." Some people in the audience started arguing, which drew disdainful looks from others around them.

However, the argument ended a moment later.

Because Hana Uzaki is unable to play the game.

"Huh? Strange, why can't I activate it?" Uzaki Hana tried to activate it with her mental power. Although it was a card spirit, the advantage of a high-spirituality follower was that it could respond to the card master.

Because it generates its own spiritual power, and this spiritual power is the essence of special summoning.

but……

"Why can't I use it?" Uzaki Hana pouted, looking at Amon for help.

"Let me see?"

Amon was about to take the card, but the shop owner snatched it away halfway, smiling apologetically at Amon and the others, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, there might be a problem with the equipment in the shop, I'm really sorry."

"Please wait a moment, sir. We'll handle it right away. I'll refund your fee as compensation. After the repair is complete, how about we let you experience it for free?"

"Equipment problem?"

Amon looked at the terribly rudimentary sand table in front of him and nodded: "Alright then, but I'm not really interested in it if it's free."

Uzaki Hana's emotions come and go quickly.

After running out of things to do, he simply returned to the spiritual world to participate in the girls' temple fair.

Amon also joined the Wushan Rain Group.

They had already tried the game and were about to leave when they saw that Amon wasn't interested. However, the boss behind them tried to persuade them to stay, but none of them intended to linger.

The boss was somewhat unwilling to let Amon leave.

"Boss, is there really something wrong with this equipment?" a customer asked doubtfully from behind.

"Of course not, of course not!"

The shop owner immediately turned around with a smile, and then handed the card that Uzaki Hana couldn't use to the next audience member, who hesitated a bit.

However, he still made it to the player's position.

Once they realized the game could proceed smoothly, the audience and players immediately forgot about what had happened before.

The Brave Warriors' Stall has returned to its former bustling state.

The shop owner began serving the surrounding customers as usual, but he kept glancing in the direction Amon had left. Only after confirming that Amon was really not coming did he quietly sigh.

...What a pity, such a promising young hero.

Chapter 225: Temple Fair Duel!

It's come full circle.

In the end, Amon still strolled around the temple fair with the three women from Wushanyu.

The girls in the mental world also popped out a few times, but quickly went back because they found it boring.

This is mainly because the habits of card spirits are different from those of real humans.

As a product of stories and fantasies, Card Spirits will continue as long as the stories that form their foundation do not collapse.

For them, the real world is like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Due to factors such as altitude, one may experience adverse conditions similar to altitude sickness. Although it may be okay for a short time, it can become very uncomfortable over a long period of time.

Hana Uzaki waited in the real world because she was curious about the Hero Game.

After realizing he couldn't participate, he immediately went back.

For them...

The Ammon of the spiritual world is the true Ammon.

The physical body will one day grow old and decay, but the spirit of Amon will always accompany them on their journey!

"The cherry blossom festival is quite interesting, although compared to those in China, it can only be said that each has its own unique charm?"

As a mythology expert, or, in the parlance of Sakura, a folklorist, Wu Shanyu is exceptionally passionate about exploration and mystery. Of all the fields of knowledge she has studied and encountered, this is the only one she has persisted in.

the reason is simple……

Wushan Yu can use the guise of exploration to travel all over the world.

Wu Shanyu experienced all kinds of festivals and celebrations, both domestic and international—yes, the person mentioned at the beginning of this book, who was able to travel during his school years and have his expenses reimbursed by the school, is someone like Wu Shanyu.

"Why a question?"

The one speaking was Jia Ying, the girl with glasses.

"Hehe~!" Wu Shanyu smiled but didn't say anything—this temple fair, apart from the brave game which was a bit of a surprise, was just lively and not as interesting as other celebrations.

However, she wouldn't say something so discouraging.

Moreover, the most important thing about modern celebrations is actually just creating a lively atmosphere.

The four of them wandered around the temple fair. Although it was actually just a food street, it stretched all the way to the mountainside, so they ate and strolled along the way, which was quite pleasant.

Moreover, there are many cherry blossom-themed trinkets.

Halfway through their shopping trip, the four of them... well, they didn't have many bags or small packages, because with Amon as their personal warehouse, everything they bought was stored in Amon's mental world home.

As for food...

Just take a couple of bites to taste it, and leave the rest of Amon for later; I plan to feed it to Snorlax after the event.

The reason it's not now is because right now, Amon's Snorlax is taking its baby Snorlax to the Spirit World Fair, eating and strolling around, completely unable to stop.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the heart of the temple fair.

Or rather, it's a dueling arena!

"Hahaha!"

As soon as I got closer, I could hear Aiko's happy laughter; she was clearly having a great time.

The performance duel at this temple fair was set up under a huge cherry blossom tree, which was wrapped with a lot of red ribbons. It is said that this is because the tree has the effect of bringing blessings and protection. So everyone who comes to visit and pray for blessings will tie a red ribbon to the tree.

Over time, the red ribbons and pink cherry blossoms complemented each other beautifully.

It has a stunning aesthetic appeal.

However, the duel under the tree didn't have that feeling, because the scene of the duel on site could only be described as extremely chaotic.

If you want to say why...

"Hey? Amon? Wushan Yu! You guys come up too!" Ai Ke, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Amon and the others nearby and called out, "Glasses and Bubble too, come on up!"

Together?

The group was still wondering when they turned around and saw a huge, upright sign with the rules written on it.

—A chaotic free-for-all with no rules!

Each player can only use one card at a time. Each round lasts ten minutes. At the start of a round, anyone can join the duel. Silver-level cards and cards with Silver properties are not allowed (as specifically noted).

"?"

Amon was taken aback: "Is this special label targeting me?"

"No need to think about it, it's definitely targeting you." Wu Shanyu found it somewhat amusing and patted Amon on the shoulder: "Didn't you see that their rules were all added on the spot? Your Pokémon series is already famous all over the world."

Other countries are fine, but cherry blossoms are too close to China, and the relationship is special.

Only three days after Amon arrived in Sakura, Pokémon was already being sold in China—and many of them brought their newly purchased Pokémon to Sakura, where they dominated some bronze-level tournaments!

This has caused considerable distress to many residents of Sakura.

Finally, restrictions on Pokémon were introduced – official competitions were not allowed, but performance battles at events like temple fairs could be directly banned!

Amon nodded, and then noticed a few people in the crowd with different demeanors and regretful expressions on their faces.

They were clearly the same group of guys Wushan Yu mentioned who brought Pokémon to bomb the fishpond.

"Damn it, they blew up the fishpond first!"

Amon felt a pang of frustration.

Letting someone else beat him to it, how can he show off in all the cherry blossoms?

"...Don't be upset about this!" The girl with glasses was speechless, but Wushan Yu next to her also put on a mask of pain for some reason: "Damn it, they actually introduced restrictions so quickly, so the Pokémon I asked someone to buy from China these past few days are useless!"

"You too! Don't be upset about this kind of thing!" the bespectacled girl snapped angrily.

Zhou Miaomiao floated quietly to the side, secretly placing the Pokémon cards that had just been delivered into the deepest part of her deck, as if nothing had happened.

Nan Ruyin walked over.

She and Ai Ke were childhood sweethearts, having grown up together in the compound since they were little. Generally speaking, unless there were special circumstances, Nan Ruyin could always be found by Ai Ke's side.

"Aiko seems to be having a lot of fun," Amon said, looking around the arena.

Although there were many onlookers, the site had enough viewing platforms and was located in a small valley, where the dueling arena was situated. Therefore, even with a large crowd, people could easily see what was happening inside the arena.

Surrounding the valley is a ring of contestant platforms.

The reason it is described as a 'circle' is because there is no limit to the number of participants in this duel. It is just a row of low walls, which is only for card masters to stand on. As many people as they want can go up there.

Within the circle enclosed by low walls, all sorts of followers were engaged in a chaotic free-for-all.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the huge cherry blossom tree grew at an angle, its massive canopy covering half of the sky above the dueling arena in the mountain valley.
