Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Is that a ghost?

Yusei thought so, and suddenly turned around, and then...

Together with Yuki Judai and the others, they witnessed a truly miraculous sight.

Behind them, a bear and a dolphin appeared at some point.

The two animals, who were totally out of place in an open-air bath, were acting like normal humans at this moment. They turned their backs to Youxing and waited expectantly for the experience of having their backs rubbed...

The world's great wonders.

In addition to boys who look like girls, there are also animals that move like humans...

“…What the hell???”

"Why!!!"

“…Is this even possible?!”

Faced with the scene before them, everyone was shocked for a moment.

After that, Yusei and the others' loud shouts of surprise echoed in the night sky above the bathhouse.

……

The next day, at the Duel Academy headquarters.

In the multimedia classroom that Youxing and his friends had visited at the beginning of the school year, a meeting was being held that was attended by all grades.

Principal Samejima, with his iconic bald head, was communicating an important event that would be held next to the people standing in line through the screen.

That is, friendly exchanges with our sister institution, Northern College.

"As everyone knows, every year our college holds a friendly duel with our sister college in the north..."

"Last year, our college representative was sophomore Marufuji Ryo. He defeated the representative of our sister college and won great honor for our college, which made our school feel very proud..."

……

“ZZZ… … ”

The speech on the screen was still going on, but below the stage, Yuki Judai, who remained standing as usual, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

There was no way. Principal Samejima talked too much and too much nonsense, and he just couldn't listen to him.

"Fuck... so much nonsense!"

After yawning loudly, even Youxing began to feel a little sleepy.

He originally planned to listen carefully.

But the principal's speech was mixed with too many unnecessary courtesies and official language... The more I listened, the more outrageous it seemed.

"Marufuji Ryo...Ryo-sama..."

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, she stood in the red team of Osiris, muttering the name in a low voice. At the same time, she cast her longing eyes towards the front position of the blue team of Oberisk.

Standing there was the figure of Caesar (Ryo Marufuji), who was standing straight with his arms folded, looking serious, like a king.

"I'll tell you a secret..." Just as Saotome was looking in the direction of Marufuji Ryo, Marufuji Sho, who was also short and standing next to her, whispered to her: "Hehehe... Marufuji Ryo is my brother!"

"What...your brother?" Hearing this, Saotome instinctively cast a suspicious look at Marufuji Sho.

no……

You two are actually brothers...

Whether it's appearance, personality, or strength... they are obviously not alike at all!

It's outrageous, okay?

"Well... although it doesn't look like it, it is indeed true..." After hearing the conversation between the two, Youxing spread his hands and showed a helpless expression.

He could more or less guess Saotome Rei's feelings.

No one would believe that Caesar, the emperor of the Duel Academy, had a younger brother who was actually Maruto Sho... a stinky brother who could not be accurately described in words...

I can only suspect it's a gene mutation!

……

"The duel with Northern College... this year's student representative meeting hasn't made a decision yet... Well, everyone has a chance, so let's all work hard!"

While everyone was chatting, Principal Samejima, who had finished his big promise, finally hung up the phone with a smile.

As the big screen turned off, everyone dispersed as if they had received a signal of liberation.

"Oh! It's finally over! I was so sleepy!"

After stretching vigorously, Yugi Judai, who had just woken up from his sleep after finishing his speech, suggested to Yusei beside him, "It's lunch time next! What should we eat... Yusei, give us some advice!"

Now that the meeting is over, it is time for a free lunch break.

Although Yucheng Judai was in a daze just now, he vaguely heard the words "representative" and "Northern College" from the principal's mouth...

However, among the people around, not many people were discussing related topics.

Well... since not many people care about this, it means it's not that important, right?

"Hey! Did you hear what the principal said just now? You have a chance to become a college representative?"

A student from Obelisk Blue, when passing by Youxing and his friends, couldn't help but sigh to his companions: "If everyone has a chance... maybe that representative will be me!"

"Ah? Oh... that! Don't even think about it... Marufuji Ryo will definitely be the representative this year! Not to mention you... Even if Manjome didn't leave, he wouldn't have a chance!"

After hearing what the boy said, his companion was confused for a moment, and then showed a helpless expression.

that's true!

With Caesar's pressure on them, they have no chance of grabbing this spot...

Compared to such vague things, it is more practical to think about what to eat for lunch.

"No wonder not many people care about the identity of this college representative. It turns out that everyone has this idea!"

"Indeed... In terms of dueling skills, Caesar is indeed better than 99% of the people present..."

"So, this is all just empty talk..." Thinking about the words of the passers-by, Youxing's face had an expression as if he saw through everything.

The old man from Samejima is very bad!

It is clear that the candidate has already been decided, but he just now said "everyone has a chance".

Are all leaders such evil-minded people?

Or does he plan to exclude Caesar from the list this year and replace him with someone else?

I don’t know. I guess I’ll have to wait for further notification…

"Hey, hey... forget about that sparring duel, let's go eat!" Looking at the crowd gradually leaving and heading towards the sales department, Marufuji Sho waved his hands with an impatient expression on his face.

At the sales department, if you go early, you might even win a chance to win a golden egg bread!

"Oh! Yes, it's time to eat... Rei, are you coming with us too?" Yusei greeted Saotome and then asked.

"I..." Recalling what Yusei said to her yesterday, Saotome Rei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I have something to do later, so I won't go to dinner with you..."

After saying this, she held down her beret with one hand, nodded to everyone, and then trotted out of the classroom.

"…Something? What could it be?"

Watching Saotome Rei's back as she left, Yusei felt a little confused. After hesitating for a while, he waved to Yusei Judai and the others and said, "Please help me grab a piece of bread for lunch! I'm leaving now and will meet you in the cafeteria later!"

"Ah? Oh! Eating bread for lunch, right..." Looking at Yusei who chased in the direction Saotome left, Yusuke Judai couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion.

Well...bread, that's fine too...

……

"This is... the boys' dormitory of Obelisk Blue? What is Saotome doing here?"

Following Saotome's figure, Yusei then came to the back of the Obelisk Blue Dormitory.

It is now lunch time and the crowd is mostly gathered in the sales department and the canteens of each dormitory. There are not many people in the dormitory area.

Youxing was a little confused as to why she came here.

"Hey!"

Saotome Rei climbed up a tree several meters high with a light figure, stepped carefully on the branches, and suddenly flipped into the dormitory.

Youxing, who was watching her actions from the corner, followed her and climbed into the dormitory together.

"Fuck! Should we say it's worthy of being the luxurious castle dormitory of Obelisk Blue? The decoration... the environment, it's simply amazing~! The board house of Osiris Red can't compare at all..."

After seeing the state of the room, Youxing, who was crawling on the ground, couldn't help but sigh quietly at the corruption of capitalism.

"That guy... sneaked into Obelisklan's dormitory. Could he be trying to steal something?"

Yusei began to wonder in his heart and came to the Obelisk Blue Boys' Dormitory, and began to look for Saotome Rei who had arrived here before him.

"Hiss... Is that a Cyber ​​Dragon? In other words... this is Marufuji Ryo's room?!"

Carefully observing the surroundings, Yusei soon found Saotome Rei standing in front of the bedside table.

She was half squatting in front of the bedside table, holding a deck of cards in her hands, and the slightly revealed card image was undoubtedly the appearance of the [Cyber ​​Dragon]!

I don’t know about other places, but in this Duel Academy, there is only one duelist who uses the [Cyber ​​Dragon], and that is the representative of the previous academy - Marufuji Ryo!

"So Saotome disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the Duel Academy just to steal the Cyber ​​Dragon deck... Tsk!"

Yusei was watching Saotome Rei's behavior and thinking this in his heart, when he suddenly saw Saotome put Marufuji Ryo's deck next to her cheek, and then showed a look like a girl in love.

"What the hell is that guy doing?"

Yusei, who instinctively used his duel brain to think about the problem, suddenly thought of a possibility: "Dragon Cancer player? But [Cyber ​​Dragon] is a machine race, right?"

"No, no, no... That's not the question at all!"

"Saotome's current attitude is more like a pervert than a thief!"

Yusei, who was in shock due to Saotome's sudden confusing behavior, stood up suddenly.

As he moved, Saotome Rei, who was rubbing her cheek against the deck, also noticed his presence.

Youxing: “…”

Saotome Rei: “…”

For a moment, both of them fell into a strange silence.

Even the air seemed to freeze...

289 Yes, I understand it completely! (I don’t understand it at all)

How to describe how Saotome Rei feels right now?

It's almost like - you're secretly generating electricity at home, and then your mom suddenly opens the door and catches you red-handed...

Social death?

No...it shouldn't be...

But it’s not much better…

In short, at this moment, the only thing that filled the air between the two people staring at each other was the capital embarrassment...

"Well... I didn't see anything, please continue..."

Scratching his head with a conflicted expression and showing an attitude of "I totally understand you", Yusei, who was discovered by Saotome, decided to turn around and run away.

"etc……!"

Saotome Rei was stunned by the sudden situation. When she saw that Yusei, the witness, was about to run away, she instinctively let go of the deck in her hand and pounced on Yusei like a frightened rabbit.

As she moved, the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck that was originally in her hand also slipped from her hand and scattered on the floor of the room.

"Yuxing...listen to my explanation...it's not what you think!"

Saotome Rei, who was of a petite figure, was unable to hold Yusei, a big man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with her hands, so she decisively made an accelerated pounce, hugged Yusei's waist tightly, and then pulled back desperately.

It seems that she wants to stop Youxing from taking steps in this way.
