Start with Dragon Maid and start dueling!

"It's no big deal," Ling regained her composure and stopped thinking about this strange past event. "Even if it was just a childhood delusion, it's over now."

"I don't miss you because I have you now."

"Wow... I'm so touched! Miss, we dragon maids will never let you get lonely!"

"From now on, let Parura serve Tsundere-sama in all aspects for 30 hours a day~?"

"Please don't!"

Ling did meet someone while wandering in the castle.

However, it was not the person she wanted to see, but——

The fully armed mass-produced Man in Black with Sunglasses MK-2.

"Please listen to Master Pegasus's command...!"

His knees, which were unable to bend, were shaking and almost touching the ground, which was very awkward.

Pegasus Castle has ushered in a very special day today.

Its owner, Pegasus, was sent to the infirmary, while the culprit will remain at large.

And it's even more rampant.

"Hey, what's going on?" Jonouchi asked loudly in front of a man in black.

"You said you would explain it to us, tell us now!"

"Jounouchi, don't be impulsive..." Yugi was worried that he would do something stupid in anger.

Yugi knew that Jonouchi was worried because he couldn't get the bonus.

Jonouchi really needs this money to pay for his sister Shizuka's surgery.

"Don't be in a hurry. The Duel Kingdom is far from over. How about having dinner before I tell you?" The man in black was calm and didn't care about the rudeness in the city at all.

goo—

"Ugh!" Upon hearing the word "dinner", Jonouchi's stomach growled and he instantly became embarrassed.

"That's right. Since the organizers didn't kick us out, the duel tournament will definitely continue. Let's wait for the details."

Honda said quickly, "Anyway, let's talk about it after dinner!"

"What a bummer. Is Kaiba Seto going back like a loser? Humph."

Thief Keith, leaning against the side of the long dining table, crossed his arms and grinned.

"I thought he was very capable, but he's just full of empty talk."

"Shut up! You bastard!"

"Kaiba risked everything for his brother, you have no right to talk about him!"

Although Jonouchi was unhappy with Kaiba, he was even more angry because Keith had tricked them and tried to suffocate them in the cave.

If there hadn't been a man in black nearby, he would have punched the guy hard.

Dinner started soon, but when the soup was served, the contestants found a golden eyeball in the soup!

"What is this? It's disgusting!"

"Please open it. That is the order of the four of you in the finals. Only the winner will face the final challenge."

"The final challenge, Pegasus?"

Peacock Dance couldn't understand how Pegasus, who was lying on the ground, could fight.

"Of course not. Lord Pegasus is recovering from his injuries and will not participate in the duel."

"Tsk! Who is that?" The thief Keith looked annoyed. He wanted to take advantage of Pegasus's serious injury and stab him again.

The man in black raised the corner of his mouth, pushed up his thick sunglasses, and confirmed the information in the headset.

"His Highness the Wanlong Palace has arrived."

Before he finished his words, the door of the restaurant opened and a neat group of men in black walked in, forming two rows.

The person walking in the middle was someone that Yugi and the others were very familiar with.

"is her?!"

"Heh..." The dark girl chuckled and walked to the host seat at the dining table.

She lifted her skirt and sat down gracefully and elegantly.

But the group of people below suffered.

"Did you make any mistakes in the action just now?" Ling asked the maid in her heart anxiously.

It was not going to be a pleasant dinner for anyone present.

27 The Kingdom's Final Battle Begins!

Ling was surprised by the black-clad man's request.

She was actually asked to replace Pegasus and fight against the champion of the final.

"Girl Ling, you win only when you reach the finish line."

"Until then, please enjoy the joy of the Duel Kingdom while I am bedridden~"

This is what the voice playing on the recorder brought by the man in black said.

The tone of his voice did not have the sadness of losing a duel, but instead was more of a relief.

It's like a burden has been lifted.

"Enjoy the duel?"

"He has the nerve to say that even though we are playing these weird dark games..."

Whether it was Pegasus's distorted appearance during the duel or his painful look after failure, it had nothing to do with happiness.

After being carried into the infirmary, he shamelessly approached her and asked Ling to fill the vacancy at the meeting.

"Miss, don't bother with my request, just come and collect the debt!"

"If he refuses, let him experience the 'maid's welcome'!"

"We will treat him well."

"Too barbaric... So the welcome means a group fight?"

"Only Parura would think this way, please don't give her a weird impression!"

Although Ling really wanted to do this, she simply took the card that the other party promised to give her and ran away.

But Pegasus's reputation as the "Father of Duel Monsters" meant that she was destined not to simply leave.

In order to find the power to fight against [Chaos], she needs to touch more cards.

Ling's target is soul cards that have strange powers and can affect reality.

Pegasus solved the origin of the Monster Cards and is the one who masters the truth of the world.

It is also the fastest way to obtain the Soul Card.

"One more duel won't hurt. This is a good opportunity to understand the power those two possess."

The two people Ling was talking about were Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi.

The fluctuations of time and space displayed by the "Time Magician" are still vivid in my mind.

She thinks that Yugi Muto, who looks stronger than Jonouchi and can ignore her pressure, also has a powerful soul card.

"Just let me sit here and enjoy the view, hehe..."

The girl, pretending to be noble, crossed her legs on the seat, narrowed her golden eyes, and looked down at the duel arena below the stage.

Just like the Queen of Darkness, she exerts pressure that spreads like a domain.

"Well!"

As an ordinary person, Peacock Dance is not as heartless as Jonouchi and is not affected by pressure.

She once again felt the pressure she had felt during her previous duel with Ling.

The kind of pressure that makes it extremely difficult to even lift a finger.

"...Yugi, why don't you react at all?"

It was supposed to be a "special restriction for the finals" for everyone, but Yugi Muto, the stern-faced young man, was as steady as a rock.

Without any mercy or hesitation, Yugi used a clean and decisive attack to clear Peacock Dance's LP to zero.

As he won the victory, he stared at the petite usurper queen on the stage.

There was a strong desire to fight in his eyes.

The soul of the duelist is burning fiercely.

"The Dark Magician...?"

Ling saw Yugi's Soul Card during this duel, "It doesn't look like he can be persuaded to come over."

The next duel is between Jonouchi and the thief Keith.

Like the peacock dance and the duel in the game, the existence of Ling has become a symbol of unfairness.

She was only putting pressure on Keith unilaterally, and Jonouchi had no effect at all.

After a small incident off the stage, the duel ended soon after it began.

It was not because of Jonouchi's victory, but because of the foul committed by the thief Keith.

Keith was extremely nervous, and his magic hand made a mistake, and two identical cards slipped out from his sleeve, exactly the same as the card he had played before.

"Are you cheating, you guy?!" Jonouchi slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Uh...! I just happened to have two identical cards hidden in my clothes..."

"The men in black, Sang." Ling clapped her hands and called out the men in black who were hiding somewhere.

"Please get him out, please?"

"Of course, Your Highness." Men in black, wearing tactical goggles with extremely low visibility, rushed in from outside the venue.

"Violators will be disqualified from participating in any conference!"

"What's up with that brat?"

"I want to see Pegasus! Let me see Pegasus!"

“Ahhh! Asshole Pegasus!”

Kaito Keith screamed as he was caught by several burly men in black and dragged out of the duel arena after struggling.

"So he was the one who caused the commotion at the opening of the Duel Kingdom..."

"So, I won now?"

Without an opponent, Jonouchi naturally advanced to the finals and competed for the championship.

“Red-Eyes Black Dragon…”

The girl in a dress sitting on the chair held her chin with one hand, thinking.

"It seems easy to obtain, but... the soul power is so weak."

"But I feel like it will become something extraordinary if I join forces with the "Black Magician"."

With two of the four losing, the final finally arrived.

The champion who will duel with Ling will be decided soon.

However, the two opponents are good friends who have fought together until now.

"I don't know who to cheer for all of a sudden." Xingzi became depressed. She didn't expect that the final would be between two acquaintances.

"Hehe...it doesn't matter who it is."

The white-haired boy, Mo Liang, smiled mysteriously and strangely, "Defeating that girl is the end of the Duel Kingdom."
