Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"…Maybe it will be related to my brother's disappearance."

“Eh…? Is that so?”

Hearing Asuka's words, Yusei nodded in understanding.

Asuka's determination is so strong that she will not miss any opportunity to find her brother.

Asuka stroked the golden hair hanging by her ears, her face slightly flushed, and she whispered softly in Yousei's ear: "Of course... I also want to take this opportunity to spend more time with you..."

Yusei: “Uh…”

As if he remembered the sudden kiss that night, Yusei, who was stared at by Asuka's clear eyes, couldn't help but scratch his face, revealing a slightly embarrassed look.

Like most people, although Youxing has rich theoretical knowledge in this area, after all, he is still a fledgling who has not experienced anything in the world.

Although he has gradually gotten used to this kind of active teasing by girls of the same age, on the surface, Youxing is still in the stage of exploration.

Ideally, Youxing wants to build a large crystal palace that includes elves and humans.

However, in reality, he is still worried about women at this moment.

Tian Gongjie went from being a friend (gay friend?) at the beginning to being a biological mother now. The development of their relationship is a bit strange... They have occasional contact, but rarely have the opportunity to meet in person.

Her sister, Liya, is still a minor. If she dares to do anything, she will be sentenced to three years in prison or more...

On the elf side, [My Girl My Girl] has just started to get along with each other, and Yusei doesn’t want to take the initiative to destroy this bond...

As of now...

It seems that only Asuka has a greater chance.

As they got to know each other, she developed a strong liking for Youxing... and even took the initiative to attack him.

or……

Why not just hug Asuka's body and then flirt with her back?

Or he could learn from some overbearing CEOs and seal her lips with his mouth, then look directly into her eyes and say domineeringly: "...Woman, are you playing with fire? Do you really think I don't dare to take you?"

Or, he could imitate a certain King's straight male behavior, wave his hands, strike a pose, and then reject Asuka's affection with a look of disgust, shouting, "...get out of my way! I, You, am going to be the Duel King! Women are really a hindrance!"

No no no...

This is really a bit outrageous.

Please come and help me out!

"Come to think of it... why didn't Manjome come?" Just when Youxing was embarrassed, his good friend Youki Judai suddenly asked a question to Daitokuji teacher as if they had telepathic connection.

"Ah... I wanted to ask this question too. I haven't seen him in class recently... Isn't he back?"

With a grateful look on his face, Yusei, who took over the topic from Yuki Judai, also quickly raised his own questions.

What you say is not important; what is important is to divert people's attention to other things.

Successfully changed the topic deisi~! Well done to Judai~!

Youxing secretly gave a thumbs up to Yucheng Judai in his heart!

327 Extracurricular Teaching and the Mutation of the Relics

"Manjome said he wanted to go home and bring back his luggage, so he has asked for leave to return to the main island..." Daitokuji teacher shook his finger and explained to everyone.

"Oh, is that so? No wonder..."

Youxing nodded to show that he understood.

"Then... let me introduce the destination~ meow!"

After answering everyone's questions, Daitoku-ji Temple, seeing that everyone had arrived, began to explain the information about the destination they were going to: "The ancient ruins we are going to next are what people call the tombs of the ancients... It is said that the remains of the pharaohs are sleeping in them..."

The Pharaoh here obviously does not refer to the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Atum (Yami Yugi's previous life), but to someone else.

"Hmm? Pharaoh..." Hearing the words coming out of the mouth of the teacher from Daitokuji Temple, Youxing couldn't help but look at the fat orange cat that was now squatting at his feet and meowing.

The cat was also named "Pharaoh" by the teacher of Daitoku-ji Temple.

I don't know if there is any specific connection between the two...

What is the purpose of the teacher of Daitokuji Temple choosing this time to organize this event...

Thinking of this, Youxing couldn't help but fall into a state of thought.

"…In the past, there lived a clan of grave keepers there. It is said that they would execute anyone who entered the tomb without permission."

Showing the equipment in his hand to everyone, Daitokuji adjusted his glasses and said, "But... it's just a simple ruin now! There's no need to worry about being captured by them~nyan!"

"So, we can explore there without any worries~!"

After saying this, he put the Pharaoh into his backpack, then Daitokuji put on his own travel bag, raised his arm and called out to Yusei and the others, "Then~ I declare... the Duel Academy Ruins Expedition Team is officially setting off~ Meow!"

"Oh...! Let's go!!!"

Yusei raised his arms, a look of relief on his face, and was the first to rush out.

"Humph, coward..."

Looking at Yusei who was leading the charge at the moment, Asuka couldn't help but whisper this from her slightly frowned brows.

Youxing: “…”

……

The ruins are located near the crater behind the Duel Academy.

After crossing steep mountains, turbulent rivers, and dense forests, Youxing and his group soon arrived at the location indicated on the map.

What appeared before their eyes was an ancient relic filled with broken walls and ruins.

Green weeds and ivy hanging on the buildings filled the view. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

"Oh~! We're finally here, meow~"

Standing at the entrance of the ruins, turning his head to look at the people behind him who looked a little tired, Daitokuji Sensei gestured to indicate that they had arrived at their destination.

"Oh... We're finally here. We're so tired!" Upon hearing the voice of Daitokuji Sensei, Marufuji Sho and Hayato, feeling relieved, couldn't help but sit down on the ground with their backs against each other.

"Here, there, and here..."

The teacher of Daitokuji Temple seemed to still have a lot of energy left. He began to introduce the scenery here to everyone with great enthusiasm: "Well, this is our destination today! The tomb of the Pharaoh... It is said that deep inside, there is an extremely spectacular ancient arena~!"

"This ruins... doesn't seem to be the place I imagined..." Frowning slightly, Asuka placed her slender fingers on her chin and began to think.

It looks like this time, it seems like we have come to nothing again.

"This extremely desolate and uninhabited place really gives me the feeling of exploring a relic..."

After taking a quick look at the surrounding scenery, Youxing slowly closed his eyes and tried to use his sixth sense to perceive the surrounding situation.

After establishing bonds with his elves, Youxing unknowingly felt some changes taking place in his body.

Although it is not to surpass the limits of human beings and become some kind of ultimate creature, or awaken JO Taro's stand ability - smashing Waludo, directly stop time before the duel, and make the opponent Ola Ola unable to take care of herself, thus directly winning...

However, there has indeed been a considerable improvement in physical fitness and personal senses.

For example, if a real-life duel were to occur again now, Youxing would not be completely defenseless.

……

"Um……"

I didn't sense any unusual aura, nor were there any alien creatures lurking in the dark.

His own elves did not issue any warning of danger.

This place seems to be just an ordinary, forgotten relic.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Youxing immediately put aside his slightly uneasy heart.

"Oh~! Is this the place? I'm already getting excited!" Placing his hands horizontally on his forehead and gazing into the distance, Yuki Judai's face revealed an irrepressible excitement.

The last time we explored the old school building, we had to do it stealthily.

This time, they were ordered to do something and could wander around without any restrictions, calling it "exploration."

"Although you are very excited, Judai, let's have lunch before we explore."

Grabbing the collar of Yuki Judai who was about to rush into the ruins, Yusei began to call on everyone to gather together.

Then he took out from his backpack the rice balls, sandwiches and tea that he had prepared in advance, enough for many people to enjoy.

After all, man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. Fill your stomach first, then you will have the energy to do things!

"Wow~ What a rich meal! Youxing, you can actually walk so far carrying so much!"

"Hehehe, just so-so... basic operations!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Never mind all that, just start eating! It's such a rare opportunity to have an outing like this!"

"I really can't do anything about you! Let's eat our bento boxes first... hehehe... Teacher, we have a special bento box specially prepared by Auntie Duomei!"

"Oh? Could it be the special bento that can increase power?!"

"Hehehe...just like this meow~"

Putting down the large travel bag on his back, Daitokuji opened the zipper of the bag with a smile on his face, and then...

Then I saw the figure of the "Pharaoh" hiding in the backpack, his belly bulging as if he was ten months pregnant.

Everyone: "..."

Daitoku-ji Temple: “(⊙o⊙)…”

Pharaoh: "Meow meow meow~~~Hiccup!"

After licking the remaining rice grains around his mouth, the fat cat "Pharaoh" burped and curled up again into the backpack.

“Noooooo~~~~!!! My lunch box aaaaaaah~~~~!!! It was all eaten by the Pharaoh!!!”

Seeing the Pharaoh, who had his back to him and had completely eaten up the special bento with his butt raised in satisfaction, Daitokuji Sensei was instantly broken and fell to his knees in a frustrated forward bend (OTZ)...

Rows of black lines also began to spread rapidly across his body.

"There's really nothing I can do about you... Teacher, come and eat with us!" With a slight sigh, Youxing raised his hand and called out to Teacher Daitokuji, motioning him to come over and eat with us.

"Wuwuwu! Yusei..."

Tears flowed out.

Hearing Youxing's words filled with sincere emotion, Daitokuji couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

Originally, he was planning to enjoy this delicious bento alone, but this time, his students chose to share it with him without any hesitation.

As a teacher, as an adult, as a century and a half... No! Nothing...

Anyway, Daitokuji was very moved and couldn't wait to join the dinner...

While everyone was happily enjoying their lunch boxes, the Pharaoh, who was full and satisfied, crawled out of the backpack and began to walk around.

"Meow~ meow... meow?"

While taking a walk, I suddenly stepped on a Pharaoh on a stone brick and felt an inexplicable touch on my paw.

The fat cat, feeling curious, subconsciously stretched out his claws and lifted up the stone bricks that had become somewhat loose due to years of baptism.

As it moved, the sand and soil hidden under the bricks emerged from the darkness and saw the light of day again.

In a corner of the sand, you can see a glimmer of golden light.

It seems that something is buried under the sand.

"What's wrong, Pharaoh? Have you found anything?" Youxing noticed Pharaoh's actions out of the corner of his eye, and then stood up and came to Pharaoh's side.

"What's... inside this?" Looking at the stone bricks lifted up by the Pharaoh, Youxing reached out his hand curiously and turned over the sand inside.

Buried beneath the sand was a small disc with an eye pattern printed on it.

As we all know, the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is part of a multidimensional universe. In the same space and time, there are countless parallel world lines.

And the number of millennium artifacts is far more than seven...

"This pattern... is exactly the same as the eye relief on the Millennium Divine Artifact? Could it be that this is also..."
