Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

Yuezhou, District 13, Traveler's Bar.

This is a place where many of the attendants relax and have fun.

Outworldly followers eliminated by duelists exchange information here and search for their next master in order to gain the possibility of continuing to stay in this world.

Those from lower-income families who are unwilling to join a dispatch company and unable to pay the platform's intermediary fees come here in search of a glimmer of hope for employment.

At the bar counter, a tall, voluptuous woman with silver hair was wiping a glass in her hand. Her proud figure was impossible to ignore even in the dim light of the night.

Of course, what is most unforgettable is the silvery-white tail beneath her skirt—it is the tail of a dragon.

Lavinia, the owner of this bar.

Legend has it that she is a Soul Card follower from a certain dragon world, and gaining her approval means gaining the right to rule that world.

She thus became the target of countless duelists, with many coming here every day to try to win her heart and invite her to join their decks.

The presence of these duelists is the reason why this bar has a large number of unclaimed followers.

As the doorbell rang, Lavinia stopped what she was doing and looked up at the doorway.

A handsome young man strode into the bar, looking around as if searching for something.

"Hey, hey, hey, I just heard there's a white dragon here, is it really necessary to walk this fast?" A strangely dressed blonde girl jogged after the boy, pouting as she spoke.

The boy's gaze had already locked onto his target as the girl spoke.

He looked at Lavinia, his eyes instantly lighting up.

The boy took three steps in two and sat down directly in front of Lavinia.

His behavior immediately drew sneers from the surrounding customers.

"Another ungrateful newbie!"

"Yes, yes, the proprietress has even rejected the Heavenly King, how could she possibly be interested in a novice duelist who hasn't even enrolled yet?"

The boy completely ignored the ridicule around him and walked up to Lavinia on his own.

"Beautiful lady, would you be interested in becoming my attendant?" The young man smiled brightly and extended his hand to Lavinia. "My name is Shen Yi. Nice to meet you."

Lavinia had met many duelists who wanted to recruit her, but this was the first time she had seen someone as direct as Shen Yi. She paused in wiping the cup, her gaze unconsciously falling on the blonde girl behind Shen Yi who was curiously looking around.

The girl had a doll-like, exquisite face. Judging from her peculiar attire, she was probably from another world and likely a magician or something similar. She was probably one of the boy's attendants.

Lavinia saw a mysterious power in the girl that she could not ignore.

As if guided by some unseen force, Lavinia put down her cup and gently squeezed Shen Yi's hand.

"Lavinia," she introduced herself with a smile.

Just as Shen Yi was about to continue speaking, Vera grabbed him.

"Ah Yi! That's not how you recruit followers!" Vera stared into Shen Yi's eyes and said very seriously, "You should first become good friends with them, increase their favorability by fulfilling their wishes and completing their tasks, and then send them an invitation when the time is right!"

"In short!" the girl said seriously, raising her index finger, "Recruitment invitations should only be extended after you've become very close!"

"Tsk, what a hassle." Shen Yi's face showed a hint of annoyance, and he subconsciously scratched the back of his neck, clearly not good at this kind of befriending behavior.

Lavinia also declined at the opportune moment: "I'm very sorry, but I don't have any plans to become a Duelist Follower Card at the moment..."

"See?" Vera raised her chin and whispered in Shen Yi's ear, seemingly proud of her foresight.

"I see..." Shen Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then looked up into Lavinia's eyes and asked firmly, "Then are you interested in being my mother?"

"Huh?" Lavinia was slightly taken aback.

Vera completely lost it: "Aaaaaah! Yi! What are you doing?!"

Shen Yi looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't you say that close relationships were enough for recruitment?"

"That's not how you show affection, is it!"

"Isn't the mother-son relationship close enough?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.

"Aaaaaah!" The doll-like girl seemed to be going a little crazy.

Lavinia's gaze fell on the girl, who possessed an aura that tugged at her heartstrings.

Although this girl, Ah Yi, seems a bit unreliable, she appears to possess the potential to solve the dire situation in her hometown.

"Come find me again when you've reached the sixth level of duelist status," she said after a long pause. "If you can help me out with some troubles then, I'm open to it..."

As soon as she said that, the crowd of onlookers who were expecting a laugh erupted in disbelief.

"Holy crap! The boss's wife agreed?"

"He didn't agree at all! This is clearly just an excuse for not refusing outright. This kid doesn't even seem to be at level one yet; he's probably still preparing for the Duel Academy exams. Whether he'll ever reach level three is anyone's guess..."

"But the proprietress always refused outright before, didn't she? She's never made excuses like this before."

Upon hearing Lavinia's words, Shen Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Accept to be my mother?"

"..." Lavinia was speechless for a moment.

"It's a follower! A follower!" Vera exclaimed excitedly, patting Shen Yi on the shoulder. "Looks like your charm is still pretty strong, Yi!!"

From her words, she seemed to think that becoming a Level 6 duelist was not a problem for Shen Yi at all.

"Oh." In contrast, Shen Yi wasn't as excited, and even seemed slightly disappointed, but he still politely said to Lavinia, "Then I'll try my best."

Shen Yi's reaction angered Lavinia.

I am, after all, a noble dragon servant, someone countless duelists yearn to possess...

As Lavinia was pondering this, Shen Yi spoke up again, "By the way, I also wanted to ask if there are any followers here with the [Puppet] slot that I can recruit or hire?"

Hearing the boy's words, Lavinia's lips curled up slightly: "The slots are uncertain, but there are definitely 'dolls' available."

"Really?" Shen Yi's eyes lit up immediately. He then looked in the direction Lavinia pointed and saw a slightly reserved blue-haired girl sitting there looking in his direction. When Shen Yi looked over, she immediately held a glass of water and looked at him with a bewildered expression.

"Okay, thank you." Shen Yi stood up and walked straight towards the girl.

"I'm sorry, that's just how Yi is," Vera said to Lavinia in front of her, watching Shen Yi's retreating figure.

"It's okay, I have all sorts of weird customers here. By the way, what's your name?" Lavinia stared at the girl and tilted her head as she asked.

"Me? Vera!" Vera proudly announced her name. "My mother says my name symbolizes faith!"

"Beliefs..."

"Vera~! What are you doing?" Shen Yi called out to Vera from a distance.

Vera immediately stood up and jogged over to Shen Yi's side.

"Huh? Why are you still wearing a Dark Magician Girl cosplay outfit?" Shen Yi only then noticed that his attendant's clothes were a bit off.

"It's all because of you, Yi. You blew up the house as soon as you came in. I didn't even have time to change my clothes."

"Then we won't change it. We can use it once we find a place to stay."

"Okay, okay, I'll turn on the heating function in a bit," Vera replied.
