I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

Seeing Matthew's entangled thoughts, Hoshino comforted: "It's okay Matthew, even if we bring ten generations, we can still enjoy the fun of traveling!"

"That's right, senior, if there are more people, the trip will be a little more lively."

Squeezing out a smile, Matthew quickly changed her mood and took out the ticket in her pocket.

"It seems like we're about to board the plane, let's go up first. It's a rare experience to be able to fly with seniors~"

Because it is flying to the American continent directly opposite the earth, the entire voyage takes about 12 hours.

Matthew, who had been excitedly planning the night, had long thought about how the two of them would spend the time happily together when they were sitting next to Hoshino.In the small backpack behind Ma Xiu, there are also a lot of puzzle snacks stuffed.

"Speaking of which, our seats should be next to each other. After all, it is the ticket booked by Phoenix, and this will probably be taken into consideration."

After all, Hoshino, who was about to board the plane, also took out his ticket and glanced at the seat number marked on the ticket.

"For 5A, it should be seat A in the fifth row. It seems to be a good seat by the window. How lucky."

Being able to sit by the window and watch the rare scenery floating above the clouds is also one of the great pleasures of flying.

"Senior is 5A?" Matthew looked at the ticket in his hand, his eyes flashed with surprise, "Then why is my seat number 5C? Could it be that the seat number of this flight, A and C, are arranged together ?”

There has indeed been such a similar arrangement, but apparently not this time...

"——Dear passengers, due to the regulations of this flight, please do not change seats without permission."

On the plane, Hoshino in Block A quietly looked at the white clouds floating outside the window, feeling the cleansing and purification of the soul.

Matthew in seat C, slumped on the plane seat with nothing to love, his empty eyes looked as if something important had been taken away.

And sandwiched between the two, Judai in Block B was enjoying the free meals provided on the plane.

"It's delicious, Hoshino-sensei, Mash. Don't you want to eat some?"

Hoshino supported his cheeks with his palms, and complained: "Anyway, no matter what you eat in Judai, you will say it is delicious."

"It's okay, Judai, you can eat, I'm not very hungry." Matthew, who sighed softly, said politely.

There are still many snacks in my backpack, as well as Emiya's special bento, but now Mash has no appetite.

……

The 12-hour voyage, if you set off in the morning, including the time difference, it will still be morning after arriving in San Francisco, which will give people the illusion that they have earned a day for nothing.

Following the address on the invitation letter, Hoshino and the others came to the mansion of the Phoenix family.

Before today, Hoshino felt that his sea view villa was considered luxurious.So now, compared with the mansion of the Phoenix family, the villa that he is proud of can already be called a small broken house.

In a place like the center of San Francisco where every inch of land is expensive, building a courtyard mansion with an area larger than Central Park can only be achieved by a business tycoon like the Phoenix family.

When Zieg Lloyd was arrested, most of the resources that the Lloyd family left behind in San Francisco were eaten by Phoenix.Coupled with the rapid development in recent years, Phoenix, which is in full swing, has really made a beautiful turnaround.

"Good morning, what's your order?"

In front of the luxurious gate of the Phoenix house, the old deacon in a black tuxedo asked respectfully.

"Well, we are here at the invitation of Miss Clara." Hoshino handed over the invitation letter, explaining his purpose.

"Miss Clara?" The old deacon showed a trace of doubt on his brows, but the invitation letter that Hoshino handed over was indeed printed with the logo of the Phoenix family.

Bowing deeply, the old deacon politely replied with his excellent professionalism: "I understand, but please allow me to ask the eldest lady to confirm related matters. Please go in and wait for a few minutes."

Introducing Hoshino and others into the interior of the luxurious mansion, the magnificent decoration all highlights the demeanor of a wealthy and willful family.

"It doesn't feel like a noble lady like Clara is getting married."

After the old deacon left, Hoshino surveyed the surrounding environment.Although it gives people a feeling of beauty and luxury, it does not lose the leisurely style of daily life. In terms of aristocratic weddings, it is obviously not enough.

"Senior, although you said that just now, are you sure that the invitation letter was sent by Miss Clara?" Matthew asked.

Hoshino only subconsciously thinks this way. After all, although the Phoenix family is huge, there is only one Clara in his acquaintance.

"Is this the imperial palace! As expected of Mr. Hoshino, he actually knows such a famous family."

Shocked by the exaggerated shape and gorgeous interior of the building, Judai, who had been silent since entering the door, finally suppressed this exclamation.

"Looking at it this way, Hoshino-sensei, you also seem to be very rich. Could it be that you are also a princess from where?"

The ten generations of this guy, his intuition is surprisingly accurate, is this a talented duelist who relies on instinct to duel?

Just when everyone was immersed in the surrounding environment, the old deacon came back with a embarrassed expression on his face, holding the invitation letter.

"Sorry, all guests. After I asked the eldest lady, the eldest lady said that there is no itinerary for inviting guests recently."

"Hey, isn't it Clara's invitation?"

Now Hoshino is even more confused about the situation. Who is the author of this invitation letter from Phoenix.

Rolling his eyes, Hoshino thought for a while, and suggested, "How about this, sir, can you please inform Clara that Chiyuki Hoshino has come to look for her. I think Missy should be able to understand the situation."

"Hoshino Chiyuki...Miss, no problem, please wait a moment."

It was another few minutes of waiting, but now Hoshino was in no mood to appreciate the gorgeous scenery around him, he just wanted to find out the true meaning of that Phoenix invitation letter.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, it was not the polite old deacon who returned to the living room, but a beautiful blond girl with an excited expression.

"Hoshino—! Long time no see!"

Almost pounced, Clara, who hadn't seen him for a long time, hugged Hoshino directly, and the unprepared spread almost caused Matthew to set up the shield.

"Hoshino is still so cute!" Excited Clara hugged Hoshino tightly in her arms, rubbing her cheeks against the fur on Hoshino's head.

Therefore, Hoshino is still not used to this overly enthusiastic greeting from foreigners.

"However, after so many years, Hoshino, you haven't changed at all, you are still the same as before, so amazing~"

(??▽?) No change?

Hoshino was overjoyed. Everyone else said that he had shrunk, but Miss Clara thought she hadn't changed.

I don't expect to grow up or anything, as long as it doesn't change, Hoshino's standard of expectation is so low.

Based on this alone, Clara's status in Hoshino's heart has been infinitely elevated.

"Clara, you are such a good person." Hoshino said moved.

"I always feel like I was issued a card as soon as I reunited."

The old deacon on the side was stunned, and his eldest lady would show such a warm side, even if he had worked in the Phoenix family for 30 years, he rarely saw it.

Such a scene made the old deacon quickly think about whether he had acted rudely during the reception just now.

"But it's really rare, Hoshino will come to me specially, I thought you forgot about my friend~"

With Hoshino's nerdy personality, it's exhausting to go from home to college on weekdays.An occasional trip to the Haima Group can be counted as a business trip with energy overdraft.So San Francisco really hasn't been back since the end of the KC competition.

For Hoshino, although San Francisco is a city full of memories, not all of them are good memories.

——The underground dueling field where duelists died every day, Keith was killed, and the ultimate dark game triggered in the final KC competition made Hoshino not very willing to recall.

"So it really wasn't the invitation letter you sent me, Clara?"

Hoshino asked after handing the invitation letter with the Phoenix logo to Clara.

"This is indeed Phoenix's seal."

Clara could tell at a glance that such a seal could only be held by members of the Phoenix family, and it could not be easily imitated.

"But I'm sorry, Hoshino, I'm not the one who sent this invitation letter." Clara tilted her head, puzzled, "So who could it be..."

"it's me."

Arriving late, he pushed the door open and walked in. Ed Phoenix looked at Hoshino and the others with a smile.

"It's the invitation letter I sent, inviting Hoshino Qianxue and Youcheng Judai."

"Ed, you're back, I thought you only had time in the afternoon!" Clara greeted.

"Ed? Ed Phoenix?" Hoshino seemed to have heard the familiar name somewhere.

After seeing the green hairstyle on top of his head, Hoshino finally remembered.

"Ed Phoenix, that Ed who was defeated by Jonai in the professional league!"

"Um, that's right..."

Ed's mouth twitched as he admitted.The dark history that I don't want to recall, the scars were exposed so easily, the mood is quite complicated.

"But that was just in the past. Now, I will never lose to Kakeya Jouchi again."

Hoshino continued to recall and added: "When I was on TV, when I saw 'Phoenix', I thought it was just a coincidence of the same surname, but I didn't expect that it was really a member of the Phoenix family."

"The surname of the Phoenix family is not so important, Hoshino~"

Standing beside Ed, Clara introduced, "This is my younger brother, Ed Phoenix."

Hoshino said in surprise: "So Clara, you have a younger brother. This is the first time I know."

Ed scratched his face in embarrassment, "It's my brother, but I'm just the adopted son of the Phoenix family, not sister Clara's real brother."

"Every time I emphasize that I'm not my real brother, Ed, you really have enough sister-in-law." Poking Ed with her elbow, Clara joked: "Obviously I was so clingy to my sister when I was young, and I haven't been home much recently. Is it because you are shy?"

"There is no sister control..." Ed explained: "The professional duel league is very busy, sister. I, who bear the honor of the Phoenix family, must show good results."

"So Ed, why did you invite Hoshino and the others?" Clara asked the point.

"I'm just very interested~" Ed narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Hoshino.

"I heard that when the Phoenix family was in crisis, Chiyuki Hoshino joined hands with you to save the family from fire and water."

Clara said with a bright smile: "So Ed knew that my sister hadn't seen Hoshino for a long time and missed her so much, so he specially arranged to invite her on my behalf? Really, he has done this, and he said he is not a sister-in-law. ~"

"Sister, I hope you can restrain yourself in front of outsiders." Ed said helplessly.

"Does it matter, Hoshino is not an outsider~"

Although the two siblings are not related by blood, they get along unexpectedly harmoniously.

"So Ed, since you took the time to go home, do you want to go with your sister and do something that you and your brother haven't enjoyed for a long time?" Clara blinked her big eyes and looked at Ed expectantly.

"What is the happy thing between siblings? If you don't explain it clearly, it will be misunderstood, sister. Do you want a duel?"

"Yeah! It's the most interesting duel with Ed~ Everyone else is too weak to be motivated at all!"

Clara, who was hanged and beaten by Keith back then, was able to say such words, and felt that it was interesting to duel with professional duelists. It seems that in a few years, she has grown more than just her breasts.

—— Hoshino, who was buried in Clara's arms just now, commented like this.

Ed modestly said: "These few people present are all strong duels who can't lose to me. The opportunity is rare, sister, shouldn't you try to challenge yourself?"
