Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Yusei: "Yeah, that's it."

After nodding in agreement with Marufuji Ryo, Yusei opened the door and walked out of the boys' dormitory of Obelisk Blue.

"Why... that guy..."

Watching Yusei's departing back, Saotome Rei, who was hiding in the bushes and watching him, couldn't help but sigh.

290 You are as good to me as a brother

It was night, at Duel Academy, under the lighthouse by the harbor.

After listening to Yusei's advice and after careful consideration, Marufuji Ryo decided to make his feelings clear to Saotome Rei and was waiting for Asuka's arrival here.

Originally, he didn't want too many people to know about his embarrassing story.

However, he was extremely unfamiliar with relationships between men and women, and out of caution, he really needed a girl to give him some advice before taking any specific action.

How to properly reject a girl's affection for you...

This is a very confusing question.

Yuxing and I are both men, so we need to listen to girls' opinions in this regard.

Thinking of this, Marufuji Ryo began to work hard to search his own social network.

However... in the end he had to admit a sad fact...

It seems that the only girl he can say he knows is his best friend who is currently missing - Amajōin Fubuki's sister, Amajōin Asuka...

As for those fans who were arguing about giving birth to his children...

Just don’t mention it!

"Oh... it's a headache... Why did Xiaoli appear in the Duel Academy... Obviously she..."

Pressing his head, Marufuji Ryo had a very troubled expression on his face.

When it comes to dueling, he is called "Caesar" by everyone and is the man standing at the top of the Duel Academy.

However, when it comes to love... he is just a rookie who has not yet gotten started...

Rather, Marufuji Ryo, who is a master in the duel arena, feels overwhelmed just thinking about who he will get involved in love with...

Why fall in love?

Isn’t it fun to play cards?

I want to be the Duel King, women are really a hindrance!

……

"It's rare that you asked me to come over."

As footsteps sounded, Asuka's figure passed through the shadows and appeared in the light of the lighthouse: "It's about my brother... Do you have any new information?"

After Amajimasuin Fubuki suddenly disappeared, the two people who began to look for her would often exchange information with each other at the lighthouse at night.

To outsiders, they looked like a couple who often had trysts.

However, in reality, it is not the case at all.

Marufuji Ryo thinks love is troublesome and has no interest in it at all.

Asuka, on her part, only treats Marufuji Ryo as an older brother.

You are as good to me as a brother.

The relationship between the two is pretty much this.

"No...it's not like that...I called you here today because of something else..." Asuka approached him and stared at him with clear eyes, Marufuji Ryo's face showed a rare look of confusion.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the hairpin that Saotome Rei had left in his room during the day from his pocket and showed it to Asuka: "Actually, I have something I'd like to ask for your advice on..."

"A girl's hairpin... Could it be..." Asuka was a little surprised to see the exquisite hairpin in Marufuji Ryo's hand. Her eyes widened: "Could it be that the man called Caesar has someone he likes...?"

If that's true, it would be a big deal!

I wonder how many girls who have a crush on him will be heartbroken...

If I knew who Marufuji Ryo has a crush on... that Marufuji Ryo's number one female fan, the young lady who uses the [Frog Deck]... I would definitely be the first one to be unhappy and cause trouble for that girl!

"No, that's not the case..." Seeing Asuka's misunderstanding, Marufuji Ryo quickly shook his head: "In fact, during the day, Yusei and Xiaoli..."

Just like that, Marufuji Ryo began to slowly explain to Asuka, who was smiling, what had happened to him during the day.

When he mentioned that he saw Yusei and Saotome Rei hugging each other tightly and crawling out from under his bed, Marufuji Ryo felt that Asuka's smile froze for a moment, not sure if it was his illusion...

……

...

On the other side, Osiris Red Dormitory.

"Ah! It feels so good~ As expected, right after taking a bath, I should have a bottle of milk!"

While wiping his hair with a towel, Yuki Judai tilted his head back, put the milk bottle in his hand to his mouth, and began to enjoy this delicacy.

"Eh? Is Hayato the only one here? ...Where's Yusei? Saotome isn't here either..."

Marufuji Sho, who came back from the bathhouse with Yuki Judai, glanced at the state of the room and couldn't help but ask.

Originally, he was planning to remind Youxing and the others to take a shower.

"Oh? Yusei! He just went out with Saotome. It seemed like they had something to talk about?"

Hearing Marufuji Sho's voice, Hayato, who was lying on the bed, answered.

"I'm out...something?"

Putting the milk bottle on the table, Yusei Judai, who looked puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Yusei is planning to find Saotome himself to confirm why he didn't take a bath with everyone else?"

“嘛… … “Are you aware of the path?”

Spreading his hands helplessly, Hayato said that he was just a spectator and had no idea what the two of them were doing outside.

"Come to think of it, I remember it was Saotome who took the initiative to ask Yusei out..."

Rubbing his fingers on his chin, Hayato showed a rare thoughtful expression on his face: "I always feel that Saotome is a bit suspicious!"

"Suspicious...really?" Hearing this, Yuki Judai's mouth curled up slowly: "My instinct tells me! Something interesting will definitely happen next!"

The desire to find out the truth was stirring in his heart. Feeling that he could no longer suppress his curiosity, Yuki Judai patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Xiang, follow me to explore the secrets of Saotome!"

"Ah? Oh!" After a moment of hesitation, Marufuji Sho, who had gradually become accustomed to his elder brother's unconventional thinking, quickly reacted and nodded to Yuki Judai.

Coincidentally, he was also quite interested in this matter.

Saotome Rei actually ascended to the Sun God Yellow before me!

This is unforgivable! Bei...Saotome!

I'll take this opportunity to grab your braid!

"Huh? You two are planning on going out right after you got back?"

Seeing Yuki Judai and Marufuji Ryo preparing to go out, Hayato, who felt a little restless, quickly got up from the bed: "Then... count me in! I'll go too!"

"Hehehe... Hayato, you're curious too, right?" Yuki Judai hooked his finger at Hayato who had climbed off the bed, signaling him to hurry up and follow. He then opened the door of the room: "Well, I hereby announce it! The Osiris Red Expedition Team will set off immediately!"

"The purpose is to explore the secrets hidden by Saotome Rei!"

"Oh!"

"……Oh!"

There were two voices with different tones responding to Yuki Judai.

The figures of Marufuji Sho and Hayato followed behind Yuki Judai happily.

……

Osiris Red Dormitory, in the open space under the cliff, where Yuki Judai once duelled with Marufuji Sho in the past.

In the past, Marufuji Sho, who showed his rebellious heart, was beaten up by his own elder brother...

At this time, Yusei, who was called out by Saotome Rei alone, was looking at the night sea in front of him with a calm face together with Saotome Rei beside him.

The moonlight shines on the sea, leaving behind circles of ripples

The evening breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Glancing at the silent Saotome beside him, Yusei thought for a moment and broke the silence: "Hmm... Did you tie your hair up with a headscarf? I'm glad you could think of this idea..."

Judging from Saotome's current state, the hairpin should still be with Caesar and not returned to her.

Marufuji Ryo, hurry up!

You are the man called "Caesar"! Why are you so arrogant?

"Why...why do you want to help me hide my identity?" Without continuing Yusei's words, Saotome Rei asked the question she wanted to know most.

It was obvious that her identity had been seen through by the man in front of her from the very beginning.

But at that time, he took the initiative to tell me that he would keep the secret for me and that I could ask him for help if I had any difficulties...

Obviously, doing this will not do him any good, it will only cause him all kinds of trouble!

Saying this to a stranger...

Is this guy named Youxing a big fool?

"Oh? Are you doubting the unrequited help?" Seeing the puzzled expression on Saotome Rei's face, Youxing couldn't help but think of his past self.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. It is natural to be skeptical of such inexplicable kindness from others.

I remember when I first came to this world, Yusei had strong doubts about the helping hand that Miss Yui extended to him.

The first thing he said was "I'm attracted to you!"

This is fucking... How can it not arouse suspicion!

At that time, he once thought that Tian Gongjie was a gay who coveted his body...

Although a series of events that happened later revealed the fact that Tian Gongjie was a woman disguised as a man, and also clarified the misunderstanding between the two...

But, after that.

What Yuxing experienced and felt... made him feel numb again...

All kinds of food, accommodation, and information are provided...

It also comes with a rare elf card, a customized duel disk, and the identity of a special student of the Duel Academy that originally belonged to her...

The treatment that Youxing enjoyed was simply that of an emperor!

Miss Yui almost had the words "Yuxing's biological mother" written on her face...

It can be said that the reason why Youxing can stand here and be so powerful in the Duel Academy, in addition to his own strength, is inseparable from the support of Miss Yui.

"Because someone has helped me in this way, I also hope to pass this feeling of gratitude on to the next person."

Shrugging his shoulders, Youxing gave his reasons calmly.

Whether Saotome Rei believes it or not, this is his truest thought.

Unlike the Overlord who faced his end alone, Youxing in this world line met two sisters from the Amamiya family. From them, he felt the emotion called "love" and the beauty of human nature.

Therefore, he chose to take his own path which was completely different from the "domineering" of the overlord.

To do whatever I want, to meet whoever I want.

The common sense of the world cannot bind me.

No one has the right to decide my future!

"you……"

Quietly watching the expression on Yusei's face and feeling the true meaning conveyed in his words, Saotome Rei couldn't help but be stunned.

In order to pursue her first love, she traveled thousands of miles from the main island to Duel Academy and worked hard to pass the transfer exam of Duel Academy...

All just to see that person again.
