Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

With one hand on his cheek, Yusei tasted the delicious food boredly. He was dazzled by the flash and said to Misawa: "... Kenzan, he has turned into Alice's shape."

"By the way... Kenzan and Alice are so sweet~"

Patting Misawa Daichi on the shoulder, Yujo Judai also expressed his own feelings: "Although I don't quite understand, Kenzan should be feeling quite happy right now!"

Judai Yuki, who has a slightly low emotional intelligence, is not interested in such love-related matters.

However, looking at the happy look on Jianshan's face, as the eldest brother, he still felt sincerely happy for his younger brother's happiness.

554 The Girl from the Country of Despair

After enjoying the luxurious dinner prepared by Alice, everyone returned to their own dormitories.

On the way back, Misawa Daichi observed Alice and showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself. He seemed to want to say something to everyone, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head, turned around and left the Osiris Red Dormitory.

After that, time passed.

At midnight on the day Alice arrived, Yusei and his crew, who were sleeping, were suddenly awakened by the voice of Kuritama.

"Kuri Kuli~~~" Shaking their bodies, Yuki Judai's winged chestnut ball and Yusei's spherical chestnut ball issued a warning sound in unison.

As special elf users who have formed a bond with elves, Yusei and Yuki Judai woke up from their sleep upon hearing their voices.

"What's wrong... Aibo? It's the middle of the night!"

Awakened by the elf's kuri-kuri sound, Yuki Judai instinctively showed a look of complaint on his face.

While yawning, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes and gradually woke up from his drowsy state.

“…Curi Curry!!!”

Seeing Yuki Judai's reaction, Yuyi Kuritsumi frowned, and immediately stretched out his short little hand, pointed to the empty upper bunk in the room, and then pointed in the direction of the door.

On the bed that Hayato had vacated, Kenshan, who was supposed to be lying on it, was nowhere to be seen, and the door of the dormitory was ajar.

Obviously, during the time when everyone was asleep, Jianshan secretly left here for some unknown reason.

"…Did Jianshan go out?"

Yusei, who was also woken up by Kuritama, quickly realized the current situation, put on his clothes, stood up and walked to the door.

Squinting his eyes and looking into the darkness in the distance, he vaguely saw a yellow figure staggering towards the depths of the forest.

It seems... that figure is Dilano Kenzan himself, wearing the yellow uniform of the Sun God!

"... What? Jianshan... what is he doing there in the middle of the night? This isn't the way you're supposed to take a walk, is it?"

Hearing Yousei's voice, Youki Judai realized something was wrong, and immediately stood up and quickened his pace to his side.

Like Youxing, he also saw the figure of Jianshan in the distance, who was obviously in an abnormal state.

Just as they were looking into the distance, Jianshan's figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest after shaking for a few seconds.

"Hey! Xiang...get up! Don't sleep anymore!"

"Ah? Brother...what's wrong? What happened?"

"Stop talking! Come with us to chase Jianshan! This kid is still awake in the middle of the night... I wonder where he's going!"

"Oh oh oh...!!!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Yuki Judai hurried back to the room and woke up his younger brother.

By pulling back the quilt on the bed, Yuki Judai forcibly woke up Marufuji Sho who was having a sweet dream.

With Marufuji Sho still in a state of confusion, he briefly explained the current situation, then pulled him, and Yusei who was waiting outside, to chase in the direction of Jianshan.

……

"Come here... come here..."

)【[

“Ahhh… Alice… are you calling me? I’m coming right over… You must wait for me…”

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Kenzan swayed his body as if sleepwalking, guided by Alice's ethereal voice, and followed her voice into the depths of the jungle next to the dormitory.

At this moment, he was in a state of being charmed, and there was an abnormal blush on his cheeks.

Towards a certain destination, Jianshan, who was in a half-asleep and half-awake state, took his first step resolutely.

……

"Hey! Jianshan!"

"Jianshan, are you there? If you are, please reply to us!"

"Curi Curry~~~"

Under the guidance of Li Ziqiu and following Jianshan's figure, everyone soon came to the depths of the jungle.

While calling out Kenzan's name, Yujo Judai looked at the surrounding scenery.

At the moment, they were next to a pond.

Although they did not see Jianshan, they discovered the presence of another person, that is Misawa who was leaning against a big tree trunk and seemed to have been attacked by someone.

"Misawa? Didn't he go back?"

"Hey! Misawa! Are you okay? Did you see Kenzan coming here?"

Shaking Misawa Daichi's body, Youxing asked his questions to him who seemed to be waking up.

"Yusei... Judai..."

Opening his eyes blearily, Misawa Daichi saw the figures of Yusei and his group appearing in front of him.

After pressing his head in pain, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Misawa, what happened to you? Why did you faint here?"

Walking up to Misawa Daichi, Yuujo Judai showed a puzzled look on his face: "I remember you returned to the Yellow Dormitory of the Sun God early, didn't you?"

"Ah... That's because I care a lot about that child named Alice, so after I returned, I went to look up relevant information..."

Rubbing his temple, Misawa Daichi's face showed a look of reminiscence: "Then... I don't know why, I suddenly passed out, and when I woke up, I looked like this now..."

"what?"

"What's going on? Suddenly... you appear here?"

"Ah... I can't remember what happened in between... What exactly is going on?" Shaking his head, Misawa Daichi also felt the same confusion.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

But I just couldn't remember what this matter was.

It was as if someone had deliberately made him forget about it.

"Hey, are you looking for Alice? I'm here~"

Suddenly, with the moonlight pouring down from the sky, Alice, with the Duel Disk on her arm and a smile on her face, appeared beside everyone.

She just appeared from another direction, then stood strangely on the surface of the pool, and walked towards where the crowd was step by step.

Beneath that angelic smiling face, there is a premonition of danger that makes people feel creepy.

"...Alice?" Noticing Alice's appearance, everyone turned their attention to where she was.

After shaking his head, Yujo Judai asked her, "...Are you the one who took Kenzan away? Where is he now?"

Unlike Kenzan who was bewitched by the little loli, female beauty has basically no effect on Yuki Judai.

Even if a peerless beauty took off all her clothes and lay in front of Yuki Judai, he would just walk away with a look of disdain, and then mock the beautiful woman's confusing behavior.

"Hehehe~~~ Jianshan? I didn't do anything to him. I just invited him to a duel~"

Alice raised her right hand to cover her mouth, her body hovering above the water, and let out a soft laugh.

Everyone: "...Duel?"

Alice: "Yes, it's a duel... a duel leading to the land of despair!"

After saying this, the aura around Alice changed drastically.

At the same time, Jianshan's figure appeared from behind a tree on the Misawa land, and then fell down in front of everyone with a happy look on his face.

"Hehehe...Alice...my Alice..."

Even though he was in a coma, Jianshan still unconsciously made sounds of a sickness.

Feeling somewhat speechless about the state of his younger brother, Yuujo Judai looked at Yusei, the most reliable of the group, and then looked in the direction of Alice: "Alice... who are you?"

"Me?"

When Yuki Judai asked about her origins, Alice put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth on the water: "I am a transfer student from the Land of Despair. I came here specifically to shatter the light of your hope..."

"If you lose the duel with me, you will be swallowed by darkness and wander forever in the abyss of despair..."

"Alice...why do you want to do this? Do you think it's fun to hurt others?"

Frowning, Youxing asked the culprit of this incident what her true intention was.

"You ask me... why? Why is that?" Alice cast a nonchalant glance at Youxing and slowly said, "... because this is my mission."

"……what?"

“Hehehe… I cannot forgive the duelists, especially you who saw the light of hope in the duel…” Placing her hands on her chest, a strange purple light flickered in Alice’s eyes: “That’s why I appear here… to guide you to the endless abyss filled with darkness and despair!”

While saying this, Alice, with a crazy look on her face, also raised her duel disk at the same time: "Next, come and duel with me! Who of you plans to go first?"

"...If you don't choose, then I will choose Jianshan as my first opponent."

Alice raised her petite arm and pointed in the direction of Kenzan who was lying next to Misawa Daichi.

Following her movement, Jianshan, with a dazed look on his face, also somersaulted up from the ground and staggered towards where Alice was.

It seemed that Jianshan was about to fall into the abyss of despair under Alice's guidance.

"Wait! Alice... I don't understand why you have such a strong hatred towards us duelists! But if you want to find an opponent for a duel, then I will take Kenzan's place!"

Standing in front of Kenzan, Yuujo Judai patted his chest towards Alice and continued, "What do you think? I'm very strong, right? You can't complain about dueling with me, right?"

"Oh? Come on..."

Alice narrowed her eyes and observed Yuki Judai. After thinking for a moment, she curled her lips and said, "...Okay, it seems that you are a strong duelist!"

"...Then let me drag you into the darkness of despair!"

"Hehehe... then you're going to be disappointed, Alice!"

Seeing his younger brother Jianshan fall to the ground again, Yuujo wiped his nose with his hand, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "I should be the one to let you see the light of hope!"

"Hahaha~~~ It's no use trying to be brave!"

"Yujo Judai... your destination is the same as the sword mountain behind you. It is just the abyss of despair that I mentioned, where you don't even want to think about a duel."

Alice laughed like a silver bell and a layer of black mist appeared on the surface of her body. She did not take Yuki Judai's words to heart.

After saying this, she unfolded the duel disk in her hand and made full preparations for the duel.

Seeing this, Yujo Judai also quickly raised his arm.

"...Duel!" x2

(Alice LP: 4000)

(Yucheng Tenth Generation LP: 4000)

"…I'll attack first. It's my turn. Draw a card!" Taking the initiative in the duel, Alice reached out and pulled out the top card of the deck.

Then, she pointed the card in the direction of everyone and slapped it on the deck of the duel disk: "First... I summon [Lost Porcelain Doll-Alice] (Defense: 1000) from my hand in Defense Position."

A waist-length blonde doll girl with the same name as the duelist but a completely different appearance appeared in front of Alice as she spoke.

Gathering the hem of her blue dress, [Lost Porcelain Doll - Alice] squatted down and stood guard in front of Alice.

"Next, I will activate the site magic——[Cursed Doll House]!!!"

Alice said this, and placed a card into the side area of ​​the Duel Disk.
