The card player needs to win easily

"Well……"

My head feels dizzy,

The smell of disinfectant filled my nose.

"Healing God Dean Kate", "Time Diver Perpetual Chainer", "Card Merchant"... a series of images flashed before Jonouchi's eyes and disappeared.

Finally, a "Katsuya Jonouchi" walked out of the darkness and extended his palm.

"Let's go."

"!"

Rise up suddenly.

There was no slime, no blade, and no divine aura.

No, Jonouchi himself wasn't even sure what these things he had just remembered were.

"Brother...brother!"

Jonouchi looked to the right, toward the source of the sound.

A familiar girl lay on the white quilt with tears in her eyes, looking at him in surprise and joy.

"Shizu… Xiang?"

his sister.

This memory immediately came to Jonouchi's mind.

Finally reacting, he looked around—he was sitting on what looked like a medical bed, and there was a slight bump beneath him.

"Ward…?"

"Jounouchi—you finally woke up!"

Honda Hiroto, his good friend, immediately appeared in front of him and hugged Jonouchi.

"Do you know how worried we are about you?!"

"This……"

The final blow of the "Winged Dragon of the Sun God" was recalled by Jonouchi at this moment.

"[Winged Dragon of the Sun God]...! Malik!"

"I summoned 'Surf Prosecutor' and reduced his Life Points to zero...!"

"Jounouchi! The duel is over!"

Honda could already see what Jonouchi was thinking.

"it's over……?"

"Yes……"

"So... I made it to the finals...?"

No one spoke at the scene.

Everyone else looked away, not looking directly at Jonouchi.

In the increasingly cold atmosphere, Jonouchi realized the outcome of the duel.

"Direct attack... Declaration."

He muttered the last command he had shouted.

"Word……"

"Damn it."

He didn't get the last word out.

"elder brother……"

"Do not."

Honda shook Jonouchi's hand.

"Jounouchi...you've already won."

"No matter what despicable tricks that guy used, you proved that you are much stronger than him...!"

"..."

After untying the various strings attached to his body, Jonouchi climbed out of bed, found his shoes, and walked towards the door.

"Hey, Jonouchi...?"

"We're still on the airship, aren't we?"

Jonouchi turned to look at Honda and his sister.

"Yes... the final match of the elimination round is about to begin."

"Now is not the time for small talk!"

Under the shocked gazes of the surrounding medical staff, Jonouchi, who had just emerged from a coma, ran towards the corridor as if nothing had happened.

"Within the city, within the city!"

Honda chased after him and grabbed Jonouchi's coat.

"Don't you know? You were on the verge of death just now!"

With an angry look on his face, he grabbed Jonouchi's collar with his other hand.

"You, you know how worried we are about you...!"

Honda became more and more excited as he spoke.

A few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Jonouchi was pulled back a step and stopped right in front of Shizuka, who was looking tearful.

"...Honda, Shizuka."

Jonouchi paused for a moment.

He took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, but just now was just now, and now is now!"

He put on an extremely abstract smile and moved his face closer to the two of them.

Honda and Shizuka's tears and sadness were forced back at this moment.

"——No problem at all! Jonouchi-sama is completely★resurrected★DA★ZE!"

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, Jonouchi took the opportunity to turn around and run away.

"……Ugh."

Looking at Jonouchi who was already walking away, Honda felt a headache.

"Never mind, this guy looks completely fine."

"..."

Looking at Shizuka who was still worried about her brother, Honda reached out and gave a smile that he thought was very warm.

"Then we should go over there too, Shizuka?"

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

"It's like a perfect conclusion to a side quest—I'm so happy!"

The Siren raised her hands and spun around excitedly.

"Also, a new map has been unlocked! 'Niao Niao Lian Song Girl's Evil Life'!"

"Ugh……"

Looking at her friend jumping around, Liwa sighed helplessly.

(I seem to be sighing a lot lately...)

"Don't be crazy, guess whose game hasn't started yet?"

"Eh... could it be me?"

"boom."

Liva covered her head.

It seems like this guy really forgot... Never mind, after going through these things, anyone would have some cognitive confusion.

Just forgive her...even though Siren seems quite sober.

"Hum..."

Siren gathers the deck in her hand.

"It doesn't matter, it's just Kaiba Seto, I'll destroy him with one strike!"

"Okay, okay, you'd better be able to win. Then I'll give you a defense and you'll behave yourself."

"Humph……"

Just as he was about to refute Liva, a broadcast rang out throughout the cabin.

"Duelists, please arrive at the lobby immediately."

"The next duel is about to begin."

Look at each other.

Liva patted Siren's shoulder.

"Hmmmm~"

"Come on, it's your turn to perform."

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

"Seto, I never thought we could meet like this in the real world."

"Stop talking nonsense, Kaimanoya. You are just borrowing the body of the wooden horse now."

"Once Duel City is complete, you should leave."

Kaiba stood in the center of the duel boat, his white cloak moving without wind for some reason.

"and--"

He looked behind him.

Siren appeared in front of Seto Kaiba with a mysterious smile.

"My duel is just about to begin."

"My dignity, my victory—"

"Well, there's also your Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

Siren naturally took over Kaiba's words.

"Yes, everyone else is here, it's time to make an announcement."

"Humph."

After confirming that everyone was present, Kaiba looked towards the window.

"Kaiba Gozaburo is just a stupid man."

"Even though we've been delayed for so long, the fight won't stop!"

“It’s time to move forward at full speed towards our ultimate goal, Devil’s Island—Hmph, as much as I want to say this, my duel isn’t over yet!”

He pointed out of thin air, pointing at the Siren who was holding her arms across her chest.

"Just before reaching Devil's Island, we'll decide the winner in a dueling boat!"

"And the one who reaches the top of Devil's Island—can only be me!"

"Hum..."
