Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

The most beautiful woman among all the Duel Monsters characters—[S:P Saya]!

Chapter 266: The Interrupted Development! Ash Blossom & Rei and Yashiki-warashi!

"What if I said... I'm determined to take charge of this matter?"

You Yang's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the narrow, dark alley.

He turned his head slightly, his gaze passing over the card between his fingers and landing coldly on the three strangely shaped figures.

Although it is not yet possible to determine whether the girl lying on the ground is an ordinary person who is cosplaying, or the real Duel Spirit as he guessed.

But since the [I:P. Prom Lena] in his arms had sent him such an urgent and burning distress signal, as a duelist, there was no reason for him to stand idly by.

As for those three small fish on the other side that look like they crawled out of a swill bucket... just clean them up while you're at it.

"Click—Buzz!"

You Yang raised his left arm horizontally, and with a smooth mechanical snapping sound, the silver-white duel disk instantly unfolded, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs.

A pale blue stream of energy flowed along the edge of the disc, drawing a sharp arc in the dim light.

This deck is definitely more effective against this kind of opponent.

With a calm expression, he took out a pre-prepared deck from his pocket and skillfully inserted it into the card slot.

With a soft rustling sound as the deck was automatically shuffled, the Duel Disk was instantly activated.

"Oh?"

"I didn't expect him to be a duelist?"

The skinny man carrying the army cooker pushed up his thick-rimmed glasses, which were about to slip off his nose. The lenses reflected a sinister, cold light in the shadows.

He hunched over and let out a piercing, eerie laugh:

"Alright, since someone's eager to die, let's have some fun with you!"

"Second brother! Shut up, I should do it!"

The fat man next to him immediately started yelling in dissatisfaction. As he roared, the fat on his cheeks trembled violently, and a few drops of greasy sweat flew out.

"No, no! Big brother, second brother, I should do it!"

"I'm the youngest, and Mom said you should all be considerate of me!"

The big, dumb guy at the back joined in the commotion, chuckling foolishly as he wildly waved his rusty kitchen knife through the air, making a whooshing sound. His eyes held a chilling blend of naivety and cruelty.

Looking at the three guys arguing heatedly over who should go first, a hint of impatience flashed in You Yang's eyes.

"Alright, stop with that brotherly love act."

He coldly interrupted the three men's argument, his tone filled with undisguised contempt: "All three of you come at me at once, I'm in a hurry."

After saying that, he ignored the reaction on the other side, turned around, squatted down, and reached out to help the girl who had collapsed to the ground up.

"Can you still stand up...?"

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the girl's shoulder—

There was no physical barrier; what came from my fingertips was not the warmth of skin, but a void of icy coldness.

You Yang's palm actually pierced straight through the girl's body!

hum-

Like a pebble thrown into water, the part of the girl's body that was touched instantly rippled with circles of eerie green data.

The originally clear outline of his limbs disintegrated into countless tiny pixel blocks where he passed, and then quickly reassembled under the correction of some algorithm.

All that remained were faint data fluctuations in the air and a tingling sensation as if an electric current had flowed through my fingertips.

"?"

You Yang's hand froze in mid-air, his pupils slightly contracting.

"What...what's going on?"

Just as You Yang was momentarily stunned by this sudden and bizarre phenomenon, the three people opposite him simultaneously revealed sinister smiles of smug satisfaction. This was the very flaw they had been waiting for!

"You said it yourself! So—let the duel begin!!"

The fat man in the lead took a deep breath and slammed the huge frying pan he was holding onto his belly with a loud thud, which made his greasy body tremble violently.

He struck a ridiculous pose, thinking himself imposing but actually just stretching, and shouted in his hoarse, sandpaper-smooth voice:

Listen carefully!

"Tremble! We are the 'Three Giants of Dark Cuisine' who strike fear into the hearts of all diners—no, all duelists!"

He raised a thumbs-up, pointing to his oily, bulbous nose:

"I am the head chef in charge of the main courses—Gustave!"

The skinny guy next to him peeked out from behind the cooking pot like a venomous snake, where strange green bubbles were bubbling up.

He let out a sinister laugh, and, matching his elder brother's rhythm, continued:

"I'm Slink, the sous chef in charge of plating... and incidentally, adding a little something extra for the guests!"

The last big, clumsy guy always seemed a beat behind. Only after the voices of the two before him had faded did he seem to react, frantically waving his dark red rusty kitchen knife and letting out a silly shout:

"I...I'm in charge of chopping...chopping minced meat—Bock!"

The three of them turned to look at You Yang, struck their final pose, and shouted in unison:

"Tell me your name!"

"We three brothers never kill—no, we never fight nobody!"

Faced with these three oddballs who seemed to have escaped from a circus, You Yang slowly stood up, shook off the residual data on his hands, and his expression returned to its indifferent state.

"Youyang".

As the words fell, the duel disks of the four people lit up simultaneously. A dark red duel light curtain slowly rose from the ground, completely sealing off the narrow alley and forming an independent arena.

[The duel begins!]

[Gustav: LP 8000]

[Slink: LP 8000]

[Blog: LP 8000]

[Youyang: LP 8000]

Four virtual dice spun rapidly in the center of the light screen before finally freezing in place.

6, 5, 4, 3.

Unfortunately, the die above You Yang's head showed the smallest number, "three".

In other words, in this extremely unfair 1-on-3 duel, he will also face the disadvantage of playing the last card.

"Hmph... To actually choose to challenge all three of us brothers at the same time, you really are fearless young calves!"

Gustav stared at the dice roll and let out a triumphant laugh. He brandished his frying pan, his eyes greedily fixed on the duel disk on You Yang's arm.

"Too arrogant!"

"Young man, today the three of us will teach you a lesson—a lesson called 'The Perils of Society'!"

Slink adjusted his glasses and added, "As tuition, we'll take every single rare card from your deck! Hehehe..."

Bock: "Yes, yes! Take them all! I want to use them to cut meat!"

"Can you two shut up?!"

Gustav slammed a spatula onto Burke's head with a loud clang, "Now—it's my turn!!!"

As the duel screen fully rose, the narrow alley was transformed into a closed arena.

The dark red data stream hummed in the air, completely isolating it from the noise of the outside world.

Gustav turned his greasy head, spat viciously at his two younger brothers who were still pushing and shoving each other behind him, and cursed:

"Shut up, all of you!"

"Don't embarrass yourself in front of the guests!"

After he finished cursing, he turned around, his fleshy face twitching, and a ferocious smile returned.

He stretched out his thick, carrot-like fingers, yanked two cards from his starting hand, and held them high, his voice sharp and piercing with excitement:

"Open your eyes and look carefully!"

"This is my starting move!"

"I activate a Spell Card from my hand—[One-on-One]!"

As the card was placed into the duel disk, a strange equivalent exchange magic circle unfolded before Gustav.

"You can activate this effect by sending 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard."

Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from your hand or Deck!

Without hesitation, Gustav shoved a card into the graveyard slot, his movements as ruthless as if he were chopping minced meat.

"As a price, I will send the [Right Hand Shark] in my hand to the graveyard!"

"Come forth—Special Summon [Princess Amber] from your Deck!"

In an instant, the card that had been sent to the cemetery transformed into a stream of dark blue water and disappeared underground.

Immediately afterwards, the card ejection port shone brightly, and a pink mechanical lotus flower flew out from it amidst splashes of water, its petals slowly unfolding, seemingly nurturing some kind of deep-sea life.

You Yang's eyes narrowed instantly.

[Right Hand Shark]? [Amberjack Princess]?

He quickly searched his mind for information about the two cards.

This specialized water-attribute build usually means that the subsequent expansion will be overwhelming, most likely for stacking some high-level water-attribute Xyz Monster, or even... a more troublesome Xyz Summon.
