Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"Yusei...I..."

"...Wait, Li, tell everyone too!"

Seeing that Saotome Rei seemed to be about to say something, Yusei quickly interrupted her and pointed behind her: "Everyone has been watching since just now!"

There, in addition to Yuki Judai with a silly smile on his face, Asuka Tenjouin with one hand on her waist and smiling, as well as Koala and Sho, there was also the figure of Marufuji Ryo with his arms folded.

At this moment, he was looking in the direction of Saotome Rei with a thoughtful expression.

Saotome Rei: "...Eh? Master Liang?"

It was just a brief glimpse during the day, and at this moment, Saotome Rei, who was facing Marufuji Ryo directly, couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression.

"Now it's your turn to perform~~~ This is the boys' responsibility!" With a teasing expression on her face, Asuka nudged Marufuji Ryo, who looked hesitant, with her elbow.

In Marufuji Ryo's hand, there is still the hairpin that Saotome Rei dropped during the day.

It's time to return it to its original owner.

"Uh……"

Marufuji Ryo blinked in confusion and was stared at by everyone. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took a step towards where Saotome Rei was.

"I'm sorry, I was the one who sneaked into your dormitory during the day. Yusei just wanted to stop me, not to take your card..."

Saotome Rei lowered her head and apologized to Marufuji Ryo who walked up to her.

In response, Marufuji Ryo just nodded: "Yeah, I know."

"I'm sorry... The reason I came here is because Mr. Liang was admitted to the Duel Academy..."

Saotome Rei began to explain why she came: "I wanted to see you... so I came..."

Speaking of this, Saotome Rei blushed slightly: "Although the process was difficult, with all kinds of obstacles, but in the end, I still passed the exam... came here... and met you, Ryo."

Facing Marufuji Ryo, Saotome Rei opened her arms: "Although I lost the duel with Yusei...but, my obsession with Ryo-sama will never lose to anyone! So...please accept the girl's stubborn thoughts!"

"Uh...this..."

Frightened by Saotome Rei's enthusiasm, Marufuji Ryo, with a troubled expression on his face, instinctively took a half step back.

When it comes to dueling, he is Caesar Ryo of the Duel Academy, the undisputed king, and he has only lost to Yusei once before.

However, when it comes to love, Marufuji Ryo is just a novice, and it can even be said that he has not even entered the door...

In response to Saotome Rei's passionate confession at this moment, he was filled with only troubles... and more troubles.

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

"Haha...Caesar was also frightened by her aura!"

Seeing the scene at the side, Yuki Judai couldn't help but laughed with his hands on his hips: "Speaking of which... Saotome, you are really strong right now! It's like a duel..."

"Ha ha……"

Looking at Marufuji Ryo who looked troubled at the moment, Youxing couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Who would have thought that Caesar Liang, who had an indifferent expression, would actually be at such a loss.

It’s really... so interesting!

"Juyo, what are you talking about? Is this a duel?" Saotome Rei couldn't help but refute Yuki Juyo's confusing remarks.

"Yeah...stubborn yearning is beautiful."

At this time, Asuka also carried the heavy Noko in her arms and walked in front of Saotome Rei.

Asuka acted like a senior and said to Saotome, "But, as you said just now, unlike a duel, a real boy can't just win hearts and minds by winking..."

Although she is a rookie with no experience in love, Asuka at this moment acts like a love master.

Seeing Asuka like this, Yusei could only shrug helplessly...

In theory, he is a giant.

"A duel is like a love affair, it's all about the heart connecting with each other. Is this the first time you like..."

"…What is your relationship with Lord Ryo?! Are you a love rival or a love rival???" Just when Asuka wanted to say something more, Saotome Rei, who felt a strong sense of crisis from the blonde beauty in front of her, interrupted her words directly and put on a "super fierce" attitude.

Damn it! Are those two useless lumps of fat on my chest mocking me?

This is unforgivable! Bei... this busty girl named Asuka!

296 What a Tanosi Duel!

"No...it's not like that..."

When Asuka heard Saotome Rei's questioning of her, she couldn't help but reveal the same troubled expression on her face as Marufuji Ryo had just now.

no……

What does this have to do with anything...

Even if there is any doubt about the relationship between a man and a woman, it should be between Youxing and me. What does it have to do with Guan Liang?

To me, he is just like a brother. I don’t consider him as a love object at all!

"Hmph! Do you think I will believe you?"

In response to Asuka's explanation, Saotome Rei said, "I don't believe a word of it."

It must be you, the bad woman, who relies on that sexy figure to play with all the men at your will, right?

The group of boys surrounding you now is the best proof.

Don't think I didn't notice that Maruto Sho's obscene eyes have been glancing over here since just now.

Girls are very sensitive to boys' gazes!

"Alright, alright...that's enough!"

Seeing that Asuka was frightened by Saotome Rei's enthusiasm, Yusei, who had been watching the argument for a long time, finally decided to intervene in their quarrel after scratching his head.

The scene where beautiful girls tear each other apart is quite interesting though.

But at this time, there are obviously more important things to deal with.

"Asuka, come here for a moment."

Holding Asuka's hand and protecting her behind him, Youxing said to Marufuji Ryo: "Caesar, it's your turn to show off. Stand up!"

"Youxing..."

Her palm was suddenly held by Youxing's big hand. At this time, Asuka, who was behind Youxing, couldn't help but blush on her cheeks while looking at Youxing's back.

Although she felt extremely shy, Asuka did not struggle to let go.

Just like she said before, she doesn't hate Yusei as a person.

Therefore, she did not feel disgusted by the slightly intimate behavior of holding hands.

Rather, she had developed a good impression of Youxing after meeting him time and time again, and she hoped that their relationship could go a step further and become closer...

"Ahem...well...Rei, I'm very happy about your idea..." After Yusei's reminder, Marufuji Ryo finally remembered why he came.

After clearing his throat and adjusting his mindset, he finally decided to reveal his true thoughts to Saotome Rei.

"...Hmm? Caesar's reaction... could it be possible?"

Hearing Marufuji Ryo's speech, everyone instinctively showed an expression of interest.

The gossip about Caesar Liang...this is much more interesting than ordinary events!

After arranging himself and regaining a calm expression, Marufuji Ryo looked into Saotome Rei's eyes and said, "But... for me now, dueling is everything."

After saying this, Marufuji Ryo took out the hairpin left by Saotome Rei from his pocket and returned it to Saotome Rei.

"Master Liang..."

Holding the hairpin handed to her by Marufuji Ryo, Saotome Rei had a confused expression on her face.

Being politely rejected by the person you admire.

Am I...a brokenhearted?

"Xiao Li... go back, go back to where you should be."

After speaking out his true thoughts, Marufuji Ryo's expression returned to its original indifference.

"Hey, hey... there's no need to be so cruel... Even if the relationship fails and your true identity is exposed, there's no need to drop out of school, right?"

"With Li's ability, she can definitely transfer to the girls' dormitory in Obelisk Blue!"

Yusei expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of Marufuji Ryo's indifferent words.

This is a straight man’s statement… He is single based on his own strength, it’s true!

"Yusei, it's not like that..." Before Marufuji Ryo could say anything, Asuka, who was standing behind Yusei, pulled his arm. Then, as Yusei turned his head to look at her, she gently shook her head: "Saotome Rei...she hasn't reached the age to go to school yet...right now, she's just a fifth-grade elementary school student..."

Before coming to the Red Dormitory of Osiris, Marufuji Ryo had already told Asuka at the lighthouse about his relationship with Saotome Rei and Saotome Rei's true identity.

The relationship between the two of them is just that of a senior and a junior!

After Marufuji Ryo graduated from the junior high school of his original school and was promoted to the high school of Duel Academy, Saotome Rei, who was still in the elementary school, was naturally forced to separate from him...

"What? Little...fifth grade of elementary school?" Yusei was a little dazed, not being able to react to the message conveyed by Asuka's words.

"--Why!"

“…What?!”

"What??? Saotome is not only a girl, but also an elementary school student???"

On the other side, there were people watching.

Exclamations came one after another, accompanying Asuka's explosive speech.

"That is to say... I was fighting a primary school student just now..."

After realizing that Saotome Rei is still an underage elementary school student, Yusei's expression can't help but become quite interesting...

"Hey hey hey...are we exposed?"

Realizing that her true identity was exposed, Saotome Rei held her head with her hands and stuck out her tongue in Yusei's direction, feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry~ Yusei, I've kept so many things from you..."

After saying this, Saotome Rei suddenly half-closed her eyes, stretched out her finger, and posed the standard victory pose that Yusei Judai often used to face Yusei who was standing there in a daze: "I won! What an interesting (Tanosi) duel!"

“…I do!”

The extreme shock and the critical hit from the victory pose made Yusei, who was unable to hold back for a moment, let go of Asuka's hand and fell on his back.

"Well... even if that's the case, tonight's duel is still quite interesting... right?"

Looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Youxing had a helpless expression on his face and such a thought flashed through his mind.

……

...

The next day, at the island’s port.

Having accomplished her goal, Saotome Rei decided to leave here and return to her original school, and boarded the scheduled ferry for the return voyage.

Yusei, Yuki Judai, Marufuji Ryo, Asuka and others were standing at the port to see Saotome Rei off.

"Goodbye, Li!"

Yusei waved his arms towards Saotome Rei who was sticking half of her body out of the ship window and said goodbye.

The separation now is for the meeting in the future.

When we meet again next time, I'm sure we will have different feelings about each other.

"Next year, I will graduate from elementary school..."

After changing back into her original girl's clothes and letting her waist-length hair fall like a waterfall, Saotome Rei waved her arms in the direction of Yusei and the others: "When the time comes, I will also take the entrance exam for the junior high school department of Duel Academy!"

"That's what she said..."

"Hehehe...it looks like she hasn't given up yet!"
