The card player needs to win easily

"I just need to raise this sword and point it in his direction... Haha, even if he doesn't go there in person, my injuries will definitely prevent me from being able to move for the next few days."

Celine smiled self-deprecatingly.

It was obvious that she had done this more than once.

"I can't empathize with you...but it's really not easy for you."

Siren, who had recovered from some state, patted her shoulder sympathetically.

Although I knew a little about the story of the "Pearl Tear Elegant Tribe" because of the card picture, after hearing this, I wanted to hang "Pearl Tear Elegant Tribe·Renohart" on the street lamp.

Selene looked at Siren with complicated eyes.

(Parallel world... I often hear this word from Renohart.)

(Maybe she really is another me... If I hadn't experienced this, would I have this kind of personality?)

I am already filled with hatred.

But the Siren in front of him had a completely different light in her eyes.

She interrupted her ever-expanding thoughts and began to narrate what had happened again.

(Did she misunderstand something?)

The Siren blinked.

A bit dry.

"Not long ago, he seemed to have sensed something and sent me to a certain place on the seabed where the details were unknown."

"When I got there, there was only a seemingly calm expanse of water... and an underwater cave that completely defied common sense."

"There's not a single drop of water there—even though it's directly connected to the seabed, not a single drop of water is pushed in by the immense pressure of the deep sea."

Celine paused.

"When I carefully examined the cave, the accident happened."

"A huge, undercurrent-driven storm swept across that body of water."

"I can guarantee that this happened suddenly. The water was originally calm, but suddenly a huge gap appeared somewhere, causing the water to surge at an extremely fast speed."

Even now, when she recalls that scene, Celine still feels a lingering fear.

"Originally, with my own abilities, it would have been easy to escape from that place."

"But the second time, the third time... I can't even count how many times it happened."

"The water on the seabed seemed to be sucked away by randomly appearing holes, leaving countless gaps. In my panic, I was pushed directly into the cave by the huge water pressure."

"I should have thought of it earlier... That bastard Renault must have known that there was something wrong here! I was just a cannon fodder he used to explore the way—"

She gnashed her teeth, and obvious anger erupted on Celine's face.

He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down.

"I found it after I fell down."

"The cave wall is very smooth, and there is absolutely no possibility of holding it up."

"It's also incredibly hard—not even my sword can leave a mark on it."

Siren glanced at the one-handed sword that Seren had easily stuck into the concrete floor.

(…6.)

"I can only accept my fate and fall down like this, waiting for the moment when I will fall into the same place."

"So, I closed my eyes and waited for my end."

"But, after waiting for a long time, I didn't lose consciousness."

"Then I saw again—"

When Celine could see again, the first thing she saw was the moon.

Is she back on the ground?

After adjusting to her surroundings, her eyes told her the answer.

She returned to the ground.

But it was not the ground she was familiar with.

"What's this?"

She looked at the tall building in front of her, a building with huge "KC" letters embedded in it.

Celine had never seen such a building before.

There was no such building anywhere in her world.

"Wait...it's gone!"

The feeling of being manipulated and monitored completely disappeared.

But Renohart's breath did not disappear, as if he was still in this place.

Around him, people who were dressed in very strange clothes and had their hair pointing up to the sky stood beside him.

Some would even stare at her and then shout out—

"That person, could it be a Siren?!"

Before everyone could stare at her, she immediately left this puzzling place.

"Duelists! Listen up!"

Behind me, for some reason, a screen with a mushroom-headed figure appeared, and suddenly there was a loud noise.

"In a week, Kaiba Corporation will hold a duel tournament in this city!"

"Kaiba...Company? Duel Tournament?"

(What is this...right!)

Narcissus once told herself what the parallel world that Renohart mentioned was.

It seems like a world that is completely different from the world I live in.

"Could it be that... this is, another world!?"

Got this terrible guess.

"No, we have to find a way to go back quickly..."

However, when Selene looked at the one-handed sword in her right hand, she changed her mind.

"...Wait, I seem to have escaped Renohart's control."

A familiar, disgusting aura was now much stronger in Selene's perception.

"The extent of this aura... Renohart is nearby."

"He seems to have come here too."

With deep-rooted hatred, Selene decided the target of her action without hesitation.

Even though they didn't know how to get back, they couldn't get in touch with their companions.

"I'm going to do my best to tear you, you bastard, into pieces!"

What happens next is simple.

She relied on her intuition and the power of the "Pearl Tear Singer Clan" to avoid anything that might discover her.

In the darkness of this city, he searches for everyone who carries the aura of the "Pearl Tear Elegy Tribe, Renohart."

Over the past week or so, more than half of them had been observed from a distance by Selene when she was acting alone.

However, they were just people they had come into contact with - one of them was even kidnapped by a group of inexplicable black-robed men.

Out of empathy, she slashed the lock of the warehouse door where the man was tied.

"This one isn't... maybe the next one will be."

Celine clenched her hand tightly around her sword, which had been with her for so long.

Then, he turned around and found another target that could not be identified due to the strong smell - Liva.

What happened next is what the two of them are experiencing now.

PS: The guy named Chocolate Compressed Biscuits voted for me 5 monthly tickets at one time... I feel flattered.

Duel City Part 1: Chapter 58: Death Counterattack

Sailin traveled here from a previous life due to some supernatural phenomenon.

(So, if people from other worlds come here, will they also go through the same method...?)

This forced Liva to start thinking about this problem.

At least it would give her some explanation when she faced people from the "Star Relics" world in the future.

"...Siren, right."

"And you-"

"If you want a name, call me Liva."

Liva shrugged.

She has been here for so long that she is used to people calling her by this name.

Standing up again, Celine stared at Siren and Liva.

To be precise, most of her attention was on the Siren.

"Who are you anyway—you seem to know a lot about my world."

"And why were you able to summon my companions...at least those who looked like them?"

"Also, it seems that the aura of Renohart resides in you... What's going on?"

There are many questions.

Most importantly, Celine hasn't asked yet.

"About who we are... well, how should I put it?"

Siren thought about it.

Let’s not talk about Halakti and Wanchuang.

"A card player with some peculiar abilities."

(Playing cards... is that what she's talking about, those things called "dueling"?)

This world seems to be very fond of certain activities carried out through cards.

(The things I've seen around here this week are definitely related to this "Duel" event.)

Celine silently noted these things down.

What if it has something to do with how I get back?

"As for why we can summon your companions... this is part of the unique ability we possess."

Siren pointed to the person in the distance who was dueling with a duel disk.

"That's a holographic projection. Simply put, it can simulate an image on an open space."

"Normally, these things are just simulated images."

Celine nodded. She had seen these things before.

When she first came into this world, she even attacked those images.

But when Celine found that she could not touch these things at all and that they would not react to her behavior, she knew that these things were false.

"But, how do I put it?"

"If we were to turn these devices on, it would be different."

Siren secretly signaled to Liva.
