Duels should be played with a smile.

[Deck: 11→9]

Two more Special Summons, and the player's deck is down to single digits.

Furthermore, we've already completed one round of Synchro Summoning; it's time to start Link Summoning.

"The summoning condition is 2 [Demon] monsters. I've set Snow Maiden and Daji as the arrows!"

"There's no need to shout any boring summoning phrases at a time like this!"

"I'm going to get hyped right now, honey!"

"Link Summon [Ice Demon - Snow Woman]!"

Suddenly, it began to snow, and along with the snow fell the pure white, immaculate girl.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would even have... never mind, he can't say it out loud, otherwise he'd be called scum.

White hair, white clothes, white silk, white snow.

The girl still had a faint smile on her face, as if she had seen her beloved, a faint smile that was also a little shy.

The girl floated down to Leyou's side as lightly as snowflakes.

Her red lips parted slightly.

"You otaku are disgusting! Who's your wife?!"

Chapter 92: What Does the Snow Woman Need to Go Through to Go from Link 2 to Link 4?

"You otaku are disgusting. Do you otaku call every girl you see 'wife'?"

Beneath her sweet smile lay words colder than the snow and ice surrounding her, making one wonder if that gentle, comforting smile was truly genuine.

When faced with such cold words, most shut-ins would feel indignant, even ashamed, and would then lower their heads and remain silent.

Naturally, upon closer observation, one would not be able to detect the hint of amusement hidden in the snow woman's smile.

It was a playful expression, as if a prank had been successfully pulled off.

However, Leyou was not an ordinary otaku. With some mental preparation, he fully demonstrated just how strong the otaku's heart could be when no one else was around.

"You have defiled the history of otaku for thousands of years! I demand an immediate apology!"

As if filled with righteous indignation, Leyou pointed his index finger directly at the Snow Woman and let out a cry of unwillingness.

After the outcry, it is time to speak frankly. Only by clearly explaining the essence of otaku can we reduce the prejudice and accusations against them by the boring secular world.

"A hardcore otaku isn't just anyone! Only when they see something beautiful that they genuinely love, only when they love it wholeheartedly, will a hardcore otaku passionately call out 'waifu'!"

His words were brimming with emotion; he was just a few tears away from being described as a tearful outburst.

After all, they've taken acting courses, so they should at least try to act convincingly.

Unfortunately, this time Leyou was not facing an ordinary opponent. He was facing a spirit that knew him quite well—the more you use a spirit, the more you naturally know it.

The Snow Woman's face still radiated that spring-like smile. She gently waved her hand, summoning snowflakes, which were the perfect jewelry for her, adding to her elegant charm.

But she still hasn't changed her sharp tongue.

"So, you otaku are all pretty big-hearted, which is why you can have a bunch of wives every few months? Are your 'hobbies' all very diverse? Is that why you say you call beautiful things 'wife' instead of just cute girls?"

Wow~ Looks like they're evenly matched opponents.

In just a few words, he wasn't fooled by appearances and clearly discovered the omissions in Le You's words. I must say, he's very capable!

“Hidden otaku are not such a superficial existence,” Leyou said calmly, choosing not to directly answer the Snow Woman’s question, but instead intending to take a different approach and adopt a roundabout tactic.

"Hosts are also pitiful beings; they are just a group of otaku who project their emotions onto inanimate objects."

Her words carried a hint of loneliness, which, combined with the snowflakes falling around the Snow Woman, unexpectedly created a somewhat harmonious atmosphere.

"In ancient times, we generally called such people artists!"

"So please apologize for your actions that have tarnished the history of otaku over thousands of years!"

"Besides, given that you are not a cold card, but a living being, someone who can communicate, confide in, and share joys and sorrows, I am not exactly a shut-in either."

The logic is a bit forced, but that's okay; the key point lies in what follows.

You need to learn to subtly transform her into someone on the same side. As long as her feelings and stance waver even slightly, you can find a bigger weakness there.

"That's why I said, you're quite interesting, you shut-in."

While remaining suspended in mid-air, the Snow Woman lightly circled around Leyou, examining him from all angles as if she were observing, studying, and analyzing every aspect of this interesting fellow.

After all, this relates to how you'll get along in the future. If you can gain the upper hand from the start, you'll be able to dominate the game later.

After circling once, the Snow Woman lightly flicked her sleeve, summoning another gust of wind and snow that tilted her slightly. The wind and snow did not dissipate after being blown away, but instead transformed into an adorable snowball-shaped pillow. The Snow Woman hugged this pillow, lying down in mid-air as if she were lying on a bed, inadvertently revealing a few glimpses of charm that would make many otaku's hearts flutter.

The Snow Woman remained silent, and as long as she didn't attack, she wouldn't reveal any weakness. She just quietly watched Leyou, showing no sign of the tension that was actually still in the midst of a duel.

A duel? Will the outcome affect my position in the family? Since it won't, then "communication," which currently determines my position in the family, is more important.

Leyou saw everything the Snow Woman was doing, and he knew that his previous attack had been in vain, hitting cotton with Snow Woman's silent defense.

Tsk tsk tsk, this time we've met a formidable opponent!

But it doesn't matter! No matter what, Leyou will always be the duelist controlling Yuki-onna. No matter how much she acts up, Yuki-onna is just one of his favorite Pokémon! Want a higher status in the family? Get in line first!

As long as I'm shameless enough, no one else can despise me!

Through initial exchanges and probing, Leyou has already figured out some of the Snow Woman's tactics. Now, it's time to strike hard!

"The summoning condition is two or more undead monsters. I will set Yuki-onna and Daji as arrows!"

"Now that XP has been completely exposed, there's no need to hide it anymore. Shout out the summoning phrase that represents LSP!"

"Come here! Snow Woman wife! Please change into your new clothes and new black stockings in front of me!"

"Link Summon [Ice Demon - Snow Woman]!"

A true warrior dares to confront social death.

At times like these, you have to be incredibly thick-skinned.

Anyway, when shut-ins are alone, their shamelessness and strange desire to show off are hundreds or even thousands of times greater than when they are in a crowd—for details, please refer to the outrageous comments that netizens occasionally forward.

Compared to those outrageous claims, it's perfectly normal for Leyou to let the Snow Woman change her clothes now.

At most, it's just a little incongruous to change clothes in front of each other.

Of course, boldness and meticulousness are usually required at the same time, so Leyou thoughtfully waved his hand and summoned a jade-colored crystal barrier to surround the surrounding area and prevent others from seeing the beautiful scenery that was about to unfold.

By the way, crystals are generally reflective, those who know, know.

Oh right, I almost forgot, after this summon, the player who's just sitting around has only 2 cards left in their deck.

But does anyone still care about the remaining decks of those who are just giving up? No, nobody cares. At times like this, people only care about... those who know, know.

As soon as the declaration of the Link Summon was made, Yuki-onna's face turned crimson at a visible speed. She never expected that Leyou would show such a low level of performance in a duel.

Normally, when playing some fun and interesting special games, she would have the right to choose—or rather, she wouldn't have resisted in the first place. But now, she could only obey Leyou's orders in an extremely humiliating manner, taking the new clothes handed to her by Daji and starting to change.

Having no choice is humiliating, of course.

But...a lot of people like this kind of vibe, right?

Regardless of whether others like it or not, Leyou says he really enjoys moments like this.

I suggest we increase our efforts!

Despite her eyes being full of resistance, her body moved involuntarily, and with her face flushed and on the verge of tears, the Snow Woman perfectly demonstrated what an indescribable beauty is.

The clothes weren't particularly elaborate, but because her body and will were fighting each other, by the time she finished changing, even though the Snow Woman had a constitution that almost never sweated, there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

These beads of sweat did not disrupt the overall harmony; on the contrary, they made her, who had just changed into her new clothes, appear even more radiant.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Gasping for breath, she wanted to say something, but because the link summoning was not yet complete, she could only continue her actions amidst her deep resentment.

Continue... with even more beautiful movements.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, charge, charge, SP warriors are on the move~" Leyou hummed a song with no clear meaning, his back to the Snow Woman.

I didn't go directly to admire the winter snow scene, because although the snow scene is beautiful, it is also freezing cold, and if you are not careful, it may be too explicit and cause a censorship. But, it's okay to look at yourself in the mirror in front of a crystal screen, right? It's just that when I was looking in the mirror, the snow scene ran into the mirror by itself. You can't stop me from seeing that, can you?

By the way, since the Duel Disk works, the system should work too. I wonder if the system can record videos.

I want to broadcast this hopeful video to the whole world. (GIF)

After all, I'm not some kind of devil.

Never mind, it's not necessary to do that, but it's still okay to save it for my own viewing, or to fast-forward to the storyline of the doujinshi when the Snow Woman has some ulterior motives in the future.

At this moment, the Snow Woman was unaware that her impulsive desire to elevate her status within the family would ultimately relegate her to the position of the younger brother.

It must be said that the Snow Woman, a being to whom countless thoughts and beautiful wishes are placed, possesses unparalleled beauty in appearance.

Her body was formed from ice and snow; "ice-like skin and jade-like bones" was not just an adjective, but a fact.

How wonderful it would be if such beautiful, fair skin and slender, perfectly proportioned curves were stained, surrounded, and covered by a light, elegant black fabric.

Moreover, people always like to see ink stains on pristine white paper, to see those who are high and mighty brought down from their horses, and to see noble young women dragged into the mire.

So, if this beauty is perfectly paired with the Snow Woman's already stunning yet alluring face, how intoxicating it would be!

From the bottom, the jade-like little candy bean rises little by little upwards, the elegant black gradually disappears past the ankle, as if climbing a mountain.

The elegant black continued upwards, upwards, and gradually, the resistance became greater, as they had already climbed to the halfway point of the mountain. Next came the most dangerous, yet most beautiful, summit, and the valley above it.

Amidst a series of breathless gasps, the darkness finally engulfed a high mountain.

But don't rush, there's another mountain to climb.

We need to strive for the highest peaks.

Then, amidst another series of breaths, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, the ink-black color soaked into both mountains.

As if she had finally been able to breathe a sigh of relief after completing a particularly important task, the Snow Woman, who was already somewhat unsteady on her feet, collapsed.

"You...you scum!"

Having finally completed the link summoning, the Snow Woman was finally able to stop and relax, while also expressing her indignation towards the guy who had been holding her in his arms.

"Ah, thank you for the compliment, but you see, I'm actually being very honest. I'm just holding you, nothing more, not a single extra movement."
