I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

"I lost, Ed. It's ironic. With my strength, my strength is far from enough to rewrite fate... I can't win, I can't win at all..."

"Enough is enough, Saio!"

Ed sternly stopped, but his tone quickly calmed down.

"Enough is enough, Saio. Although I don't know what your reason for fighting is, if it causes you deep pain, then don't fight. It's okay not to fight."

"Ed..."

"You once helped me share the pain of my father's death, now it's my turn to help you. Leave the rest of the battle to me, Saio!"

After his pupils trembled slightly, Saio seemed relieved at this moment.

"I see, it's okay without fighting. Thanks, Ed, then I can take a good rest."

He fell into a deep sleep, and finally got rid of Saio, who was played by fate. His serene expression was like running a [-]-kilometer marathon, and he got the long-awaited peace.

"!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ is dead, dead!" Akasha said in fear, "Finally, I got killed by playing cards, sister Hoshino!"

"Just fell asleep."

Calling John to give him a hand, Ed helped Saiou to the deepest bedroom in the pure white room and put him down.

"The bedroom has no trace of being used at all. Saio probably hasn't rested during this period of time."

It is not difficult to see this from Saio's thin and haggard face (except Yan Yi).

"That, Ed. Saio is the last one, what happened?"

"You found out too, Hoshino."

Ed, who felt the same way as Hoshino, replied.

"I think I should thank you, Hoshino. After the duel with you, Saio finally turned back to the him I was familiar with."

The last Saio, and the Saio in the duel, even Hoshino can look like two different people, that's why Hoshino asked this question.

According to Hoshino's observation, Saio with two personalities will not be a dual personality, nor will it be a soul exchange, but completely, two different existences.

As Ed said before, Saio during this time gave him a feeling of being a complete stranger.

After the defeat in the duel, the Saio, as confirmed by the mouth of Ed, probably changed back to the previous Saio.

Bai Xing: "Just a few minutes, what happened to Saio?"

Hoshino thought about it: "Although I was in a hurry to get the moonlight cannon back at that time, Saio had a saying that caught my attention."

("How is it possible, the power of the shattered light, the shattered light has left me!")

After saying this, Saio became in a mentally retarded state, and he didn't get better until Ed came.

"Is it possible that Saio was manipulated by that thing called 'Light of Destruction'?"

Shirahoshi: "Every time a coin is tossed, Saio will mention the light of destruction. But the last critical throw failed. Does it mean that even Saio himself was deceived by the light of destruction?"

Reminiscent of the results obtained by using Tarot cards when Sai-o met for the first time today, he didn't know the upside-down man.

The hanging man in the right position, sacrifice and dedication.

The inverted hanged man, betrayal and abandonment.

"Which one will it be?"

But even if Hoshino and Shirahoshi thought about it here, they were still at the level of 'guessing'.If you want to know the truth, it is simpler and more straightforward to ask Saio after he wakes up.

"In short, the troublesome matter of the Association of Light has been resolved!"

John seemed in a good mood.

Obviously yesterday I was still troubled by the association of light and the lack of supplies, but today it has been perfectly resolved.

"All of this is thanks to you, Hoshino. Could it be that you are my goddess of luck! But if you are so good at fighting, it would be more appropriate to call it the goddess of war~"

"The title of Goddess of War, forget it..."

Hoshino's cheeks turned slightly rosy, not because of embarrassment.

Instead, I thought that I didn't seem to come here to fight the Light Society at the beginning, but to cooperate with Saiwang to open the seal of Ragnarok.

Although in the end the talk with Saio collapsed because of the moonlight cannon destroying the world, he was dealt with easily.

But now Hoshino should suddenly accept John's level of praise.

How should I put it, people still need face.

"Not satisfied with the title of Goddess of War." John touched his chin and thought seriously.

"That's right. Athena usually gives people the impression of being taller, which is really not suitable for you, Hoshino. How about the goddess of beauty Steno? I heard that she is petite and cute. It's the same as you, Hoshino!"

"I beg you to shut up..."

(メ｀ロ?) This John is really a master of minefield dancers. Fortunately, he is not a villain. If he is a villain, he will probably die worse than Saio.

Unaware of Hoshino's anger at all, John stretched.

"Ah, all the troubles have been solved, and there are no undead monsters attacking outside the academy today, it seems that we can have a good sleep tonight."

"Hey? Undead monster... what is that?"

Asuka shook her body, and her tone was obviously full of fear.It seems that since she was turned into a vampire by Camura, even if she was cured in the end, it left a big shadow on her.

John replied: "It's the dueling monster disaster I mentioned earlier, because they all look like undead monsters, so they are simply called undead."

Akasha asked: "I heard from Jim that John, you and Baoyu Beast are responsible for guarding the academy, so are undead monsters difficult?"

Scratching his head, John said helplessly: "It can't be said to be tricky, but that thing is really troublesome. Although it doesn't come every day, as long as it launches an attack, it will last all night. Even if the overall combat power is not strong, it will It’s very easy to cause mental fatigue.”

Because it is different from the island of Dueling Academy, which is surrounded by the sea, the Northern Academy is located on the Nordic continent, and there is a high probability that it overlaps with one of the nine countries, so it has caused mutual invasion of territory.

This is Hoshino's initial analysis.

"As for the undead monsters, do they overlap with the kingdom of the dead? The one who controlled the underworld back then, the king of the dead and the Queen of Hell's territory?"

"What, Hoshino, do you have any idea?"

Seeing Hoshino's expression of lowering his head thoughtfully, Ed spoke up.

"No, nothing. Just thought of something unimportant."

But Queen Hull has already been defeated by herself and Wang Xiang, even if it overlaps with the kingdom of death, that old woman should not appear.

So in the final analysis, it is only a group of undead fish that came to attack the academy. The next attack should be easily blocked by letting Nobunaga put up [-] muskets.

"If it's okay, let's all go back and rest, it's really getting late."

Drowsy struck, Hoshino yawned, and looked up at the clock on the wall.

It was past three o'clock in the middle of the night, not counting the time when the world was suspended.

As for why Akasha would 'chat' with him at three o'clock in the middle of the night, Hoshino didn't want to get too entangled.

"Wait, Hoshino?" Ed stopped Hoshino who was about to leave, looked around at the few people present, and said with a serious expression: "Actually, I have something else that I want to tell you."

"What's the matter, so solemn?"

"Let's confess this while he's not here."

"He's not here? Do you mean ten generations?"

Shaking his head, Ed took out his phone.

"Although there is no Internet right now, I just received an email from Saio. The time of receipt is - [-]:[-] in the middle of the night."

"Two and five minutes..."

Hoshino calculated the time.

If it is just after three o'clock, then Saio sent the email not long before Hoshino came to the Light Association to kick the hall.

"Then what is the content of the email, Ed, you have such a complicated expression?"

"See for yourself."

Pick up the phone screen and face Hoshino and the others. In the neat mailbox interface, there is only a simple sentence.

"!!!"

However, this sentence completely confused Hoshino and the others.

-------------------------------------

Sender: Takuma Saio

Content: "Beware of Mizunazuki, and the desperate dark god DARKNESS"

-------------------------------------

"That's what I want to show you. It just so happens that the person named Minazuki didn't come with me today."

Hoshino also looked around and confirmed: "It is indeed, did you not follow?"

Of the few people in the hospital, only Asuka and Akasha came.

"Akasha, didn't you go find Judai and Minazuki at the beginning? I remember they slept in the same dormitory." Hoshino asked.

Asuka replied: "Yes, I went to Judai and the others right away. But no matter how I knock on the door, there is no response."

Asuka, who was belatedly aware of it, suddenly became nervous, "There is no reaction, there must be something wrong! Be careful with Mizuki, is Saio planning to express something?"

"(?_?)ノ No no no, I think nothing happened." Akasha waved his hand and added: "Although there was no response when I knocked on the door, it was obvious that the voice of the tenth generation came from inside. It’s just a state of being completely asleep.”

"Then what about Shui Wu Yue, did the two of them sleep to death together?"

"(?oωo?) That's not the case... Besides, who knows that Minazuki can't snore while sleeping."

It's pretty amazing that you actually know that Judai snores when he sleeps.As expected of a childhood sweetheart.

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first, don't really have an accident. Now it seems that it's time to sleep peacefully."

Hoshino's original drowsiness disappeared when he saw Saio's email.

Shirahoshi: "The God of Darkness of Despair mentioned in Saioh's email - should it refer to the God of Despair? Aibo, do you still remember how Minazuki explained the origin of the God of Despair?"

"It is said that someone jumped out while walking on the road in the middle of the night, slapped him, and forced it to him at the same time... This kind of obvious nonsense, anyway, I didn't believe it from the beginning."

Bai Xing: "But think about it the other way around, if it's really a nonsense, normal people wouldn't make up such a nonsense reason."

When he arrived at the door of Judai's room, as Akasha had described, he could hear the disrecognized grunting of Judai's six relatives when he opened the door.
