Yu-Gi-Oh!: Don't you have your own cards?

You Tian had been pondering a question.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, there are countless card players, but how many can truly be considered real card players?

The president of the company, Haima, is only eighteen years old, yet he has a net worth of billions and still remains loyal to Bai Jia. Can he be considered a true tycoon?

Yu Tianhui said: No, no, Seto Kaiba, whose previous life name was Set, was an Egyptian priest, second only to the emperor, yet he secretly pledged his life to Kisara. He can hardly be called a real man.

If we say that Yugi Muto was possessed by the Pharaoh, winning more than he lost, with divine draws as his basic skill and card printing as an ingredient, could he be considered a true card master?

Yu Tian also said: No way! Yugi Muto, wielding the Millennium Puzzle, possesses a dual personality. Outwardly gentle, inwardly cool; he has Masaki Kyoko secretly in love with him, and Rebecca coveting him—truly a master of disguise!

So, who exactly can be called a true master?

Now, You Tian understood.

The only true master is the man within the city!

As everyone knows, card players don't take partners!

Within the city, even with such a stunning beauty as Peacock Dance, he can remain unmoved! If he's not the real pro, then who is?

Kong Quewu felt as if she had been offended by the person in front of her without her even realizing it.

"Hey! Are you a friend of Jonouchi?" Seeing that Yuten was lost in thought, Mai asked again.

You Tian turned his attention back to the present.

"I am Jonouchi's father, and I agree to your marriage."

"Huh? Ah! Ah?" Kong Quewu exclaimed "Ah!" three times in a row.

She was genuinely taken aback by You Tian's unconventional answer.

"No, no, Jonouchi and I are just friends!"

Although she was denying it, two blushes had already appeared on Kong Que Wu's face.

"Also, you look about the same age as Jonouchi, how could you possibly be his father?"

You Tian smacked his lips twice.

Okay, I admit it, I just wanted to repay the daifuku that Jonouchi asked for, and I was definitely not envious or jealous of anything.

"A godfather is also a father, and a godfather is also a father."

"When the city saw how good I was at cards, it specially recognized me as its godfather."

Kong Quewu's eyelids twitched.

She was certain that the person in front of her was a friend of Jōnei.

Only within the city could one find such unconventional friends.

"I saw you talking to Jonouchi and Kyoko from a distance just now, and I was going to come over and say hello, but I didn't expect them to leave so suddenly."

You Tianliaoran.

"Someone was dating his sister, so he went back and killed her to cover it up."

"Sister?" Kong Quewu pressed her finger to her lips, lost in thought.

"So that's how it is."

"Forget about that idiot."

Peacock Dance then turned her gaze to You Tian.

"My name is Peacock Dance, what's yours?"

"You Tian," You Tian replied.

"You're a duelist too, right? What are you doing sitting here?" Mai asked again.

You Tian rolled his eyes.

"Well, it's a long story!"

He produced the stolen goods he was carrying.

"I just ran into two duelists who were so arrogant as to challenge me and Jonouchi to a 2v2 duel. After they lost, they felt ashamed to remain in the dueling world, so they gave me their decks, duel disks, and everything else."

As he spoke, You Tian opened his backpack and gestured for Kong Que Wu to take a look.

"Look at those two, they've even given up their pretentious clothes."

Peacock Dance glanced at You Tian suspiciously.

You Tian pretended not to see it and put on a troubled look.

"Hey, tell me, what would I need their Duel Disks and decks for if I'm all alone?"

"Alright then, beautiful lady, since we're destined to meet, and you're Jonouchi's girlfriend, I'll sell this package to you. One price: 8!"

Kong Quewu's eyelids twitched again.

"You've already said it, Jonouchi and I are friends!"

She tidied her messy hair.

"If I'm not mistaken, those two outfits belong to Gurus, right?"

"Uh..." You Tian smiled awkwardly.

"So you know him..."

His eyes darted around.

"Hey, didn't we just educate two members of the Gurus with Jonouchi, making them realize their mistakes and leave the world of dark duels?"

"I'll give you a discount, 5!"

The peacock danced with a gentle smile.

"Are you a little short of money?"

You Tian revealed a joyful expression.

"See! No wonder I said you and Jonouchi were a couple! You two guessed so accurately!"

A blush flashed across Kong Quewu's face again.

"I've already told you, he and I..."

"never mind!"

Kong Quewu didn't want to argue about the topic anymore. She turned around and rummaged around inside her shirt.

"Here you go, since you're a friend of Jonouchi's, I'll give you 10!"

Wow! What a pleasant surprise!

You Tian happily accepted the 10 yuan.

Looks like I'll have to go to the card shop to stock up on some more later!

But... wait? Why is this money still warm?

Seeing You Tian's puzzled expression, Kong Quewu cleared her throat sheepishly.

"uh-huh!"

"It's already noon. Now that you have money, shouldn't you treat me to something to eat?"

You Tian raised his head blankly and remained stunned for a full 10 seconds.

"Here you go." With that, You Tian handed over the box of unfinished daifuku.

"These 7... oh no, these 5 are all yours."

The peacock dance almost made her laugh out loud.

As expected of Jonouchi's friend!

"Who wants to eat this! Can't you just take me to a proper Western restaurant?!"

You Tian pursed his lips.

"This was bought by Jonouchi~"

Peacock Dance: "No matter who bought it! I want steak today!!! Steak!"

……

Five minutes later, on the sidewalk in Domino Town, Mai Kongzaku held a box of daifuku in one hand and a soft, fragrant pastry in the other, chewing it continuously.

However, her current expression didn't convey the carefree enjoyment one might expect when eating; instead, it carried an inexplicable fierceness.

"Oh dear, Sister Wu! Why are you so angry?"

Peacock Dance glanced sideways at You Tian, ​​who was walking alongside her, with an annoyed look.

"Okay, okay! I'll take you to get steak right now, alright?"

Hearing this, Kong Quewu's expression softened a bit.

"That's more like it."

However, the daifuku I bought in Jonouchi does seem to taste pretty good.

Before long, the two sat down at a nice-looking Western restaurant.

Looking at the prices on the menu, You Tian felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Peacock Dance looked at the boy's expression and found it quite amusing.

She smiled helplessly: "It's my treat, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, You Tian's eyes lit up.

"Waiter! Two pieces of top-grade A5 Wagyu beef, a bottle of Lafite, and dessert!"

Kong Quewu's eyelids twitched again.

"By the way, you were just teaming up with Jonouchi for a duel, weren't you?"

You Tianxin put down the menu with satisfaction.

"Yes, that's right. Jonouchi is a very strong duelist."

A glimmer of light shone in Kong Quewu's eyes.

"A 'very strong duelist'?"

She recalled how helpless Jonouchi looked in Duel Kingdom when he couldn't find his invitation card; he was like a homeless stray dog.

Now, can he stand on a broader stage, just like I have?

"It seems he's grown up quite a bit."

The peacock danced, resting her chin on one hand, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, she finally murmured something.

"I'm six or seven years older than... Jonouchi."

You Tianliaoran.

Sure enough, it was those two!

In the original storyline, Mai is a mature woman with a tsundere personality, while Jonouchi is a straight man.

The two clearly had feelings for each other, and everyone knew it, but their personalities prevented them from being honest with each other.

These two individuals have become a source of regret for many card players.

There's a saying in my hometown: "A woman three years older than her husband is like a gold brick in the hand," so age is not a problem.

"Besides, that guy Jonouchi is usually unreliable and clueless. Whether he's even good enough for you, Mai-nee, is another question!"

"Don't worry, Sister Wu! When I see him again, I'll definitely pack him up and send him to you!"

Ah, Jōnei, this is all the help I can give you, brother.

The peacock dance left everyone dumbfounded.

After a moment of stunned silence, she burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you bastard, hahahaha!"

Just then, the waiter came to serve the dishes.

Having been hungry all day, You Tian's stomach immediately rumbled when he saw the fragrant steak.

Kong Quewu felt a little embarrassed when she saw You Tian like this.

"Eat up, eat up!"

"Alright!"

And so, You Tian began to eat with great relish.

"However..." Unexpectedly, Peacock Dance spoke again.

"After you finish eating, would you like to have a duel with me?"

"Hmm?" You Tian raised his head in confusion.
