Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Is this... the light you mentioned?

Yujo Judai, it turns out you've also started playing the heavy pit! ! !

-

【Magic tube】

(Trap card)

Effect: When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 attacking monster. The attack of that attacking monster is negated, and you inflict damage equal to the attack power of that monster on your opponent.

-

Two magic cylinders with strange patterns engraved on the surface appeared in front of Yuki Judai as the trap card was activated.

[Beautiful Porcelain Doll - Aishira], with a high attack power of 4000 points, swung her little fist at Yuki Judai.

However, this final blow that Alice pinned her hopes on was fed back to Alice herself due to the magic cylinder.

After enduring damage far exceeding her own health limit, Alice could only face defeat with a helpless look on her face.

(Alice LP: 800 → 0)

"Hehehe~ I won! It was such a pleasant duel!"

Whether it was intentional or not, Yuki Judai, who won the duel, put away the duel disk in his hand, then stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand towards Alice opposite him, half-closed his eyes, and struck a standard victory pose.

“Judai, that’s enough!” Walking in front of Yusei Judai, Youxing silently reached out and held his arm down, then showed an apologetic expression in Alice’s direction: “Sorry, Alice… This guy’s EQ is just like that!”

“No… It doesn’t matter…” The corners of her mouth twitched, hiding the depression and shame that surged instinctively in her heart. Alice maintained her feminine reserve and slowly said, “A duel that’s fun regardless of winning or losing, this is what you’ve entrusted to me…”

After saying this, Alice's body began to float up.

Surrounded by moonlight, she slowly disappeared into thin air before everyone's eyes.

The only things she left behind were the sincere words that echoed around everyone: "Kenzan, Judai, Yusei... I will never forget you, thank you... I really feel very happy during this short time together..."

"Alice..."

As if sensing Alice's intentions, Jianshan, who was in a coma, unconsciously made a gurgling sound.

……

"……Meow?"

"Great! You're back after all!"

"…This little cutie disappeared yesterday! I was so worried at that time~~~"

The next day, Aunt Duomei, holding the fat cat Pharaoh, came to the room she had cleaned before.

Looking at the glass display case, she saw the Alice doll placed in the case and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Alice..."

Standing in front of the glass display case, looking at the girl he had been with before, Jianshan, whose love was broken, sighed deeply.

Seeing the lost look on Kenzan's face, Youxing and Yuujo Judai looked at each other, then placed their hands on his shoulders, one on each side, and comforted him: "Well, Kenzan... Alice has gotten rid of the influence of darkness, and now you should be happy for her!"

"Big brother..."

Looking at the two people beside him, Jianshan's expression became firm.

As if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and clenched his fists tightly: "I will keep working hard so that I can meet Alice again one day in the future!"

"Hehehe...this thought is enough." After patting Pa Jianshan's shoulder, Youxing turned and looked at Alice in the glass display case.

Now, it has turned back into the appearance of a puppet and has lost its previous characteristics.

But, as long as Jianshan's determination is strong enough, there will always be a day when these two people will meet again!

558 A New Rival?

"Oh? This question... has something to it! It's another one of my friends' series!"

That night, in the Osiris Red Dormitory.

Youxing, who had nothing to do, was casually flipping through his phone, savoring the latest news and current affairs.

However, the news lately has been full of meaningless nonsense.

Feeling bored, Yusei swiped his finger and clicked into an anonymous chat forum that he often visited.

Here, he accidentally saw a rather interesting question.

The gist of the content is: I have a friend who doesn't dare to confess his feelings to the girl he likes, and hopes to seek help from everyone.

Of course, everyone knows it.

In general, "this friend" refers to the person asking the question himself.

However, generally speaking, no one would take the initiative to expose this obvious fact.

"...Friends, huh?"

Just when Youxing was feeling interesting and was about to respond to this question, the voice of Youki Judai, who had just woken up from a nap next to him, suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Hmm? Yuxing, aren't you asleep yet?" While yawning, Yucheng Judai asked his roommate.

Xiang and Jianshan were sleeping like dead pigs. Judging from their posture, they probably wouldn't wake up even if the sky fell.

Therefore, Yuki Judai and Yusei can communicate confidently and boldly without having to deliberately lower their voices.

"Well, let's talk about it later. I just found a forum that's quite interesting~"

"Interesting forum? Let me take a look..."

Waving at Yusei Judai, Yusei had a look of delight on his face.

And Yuki Judai, who was curious about this, also moved his head over and looked at Yusei's phone screen.

"Well... I have a friend who wants to pursue a girl who is an idol in everyone's eyes. She is not someone who can be pursued easily... And every time he makes up his mind, he gets scared and gives up the idea... I want to ask everyone what to do in this situation..."

Scratching his head, Yuki Judai, who knew nothing about love, couldn't help but have a big question mark pop up in his head while reading the content displayed on his phone: "Uh... what is this? Is this so-called friend himself?"

"Ahem, that's probably what happened... Just keep it in mind."

Clearing his throat, Yusei nodded, confirming Yuki Judai's guess.

In this anonymous chat forum, no one knows each other, so everyone can do things that they would not dare to think of in normal times. Some introverted people can also bravely convey their thoughts to other strangers here.

Anyway, no one will know who said it.

But... even Yuki Judai, who has a questionable emotional intelligence, has already seen the clues in this question.

As for Youxing, there is no need to mention it.

The guy who asked the question seems to be a careless person and has no scheming at all.

"Yuxing, lend me your phone~"

"Well, are you going to give him some advice?"

Handing the phone to Yusei Judai, Yusei couldn't help but show a curious expression on his face.

He was actually quite curious about Yuki Judai's answer.

After all, love and the like have nothing to do with him!

Yusei couldn't imagine a scene where Yuki Judai was in a normal relationship with someone like a normal couple.

This kind of situation belongs to his blind spot of knowledge.

"Hey, do this... like this... and then like this... Umm~~~"

With his fingers tapping quickly on the screen of his mobile phone, Yuujo Judai smiled and conveyed his thoughts through a text message: "...Win! Boy, now you win the duel!"

By the way, during this process, he used Youxing’s account.

So on the screen, it becomes like this:

【Let's be friends! 】: Don't give up before drawing a card! Build your best deck and then duel with dignity!!!

[Let's be friends!]: As long as you love dueling and respect your opponent, there is nothing to be afraid of!

"..."

After taking the phone and looking at Yusei Judai's answer, Yusei couldn't help but show a speechless look on his face: "Judai, people are asking questions about love, your answer has nothing to do with this!"

"Ah? Is that so?" Scratching his head in confusion, Yuujou smiled a little unknowingly: "But, I think love and the like should be similar to duels, right?"

"But doesn't the person asking this question have the courage to confess?"

"Uh...this..."

After hearing Yusei's words, Yuki Judai also realized his problem.

However, what has been said cannot be taken back.

Next, I can only pray for good luck to the questioner...

……

"You have a heart that loves duels... and a heart that respects your opponent... right?"

“…I feel like…I can muster up some courage!”

On the other side, the former Obelisk Blue Dormitory is now the headquarters of the Society of Light.

In a private room, a young man wearing the white windbreaker uniform of the Light Society, a pair of square-framed glasses on his nose, and exuding an otaku aura, was staring at the computer screen in front of him intently.

As the one who asked the interesting question, after seeing the answer given by Yugi Judai using Yusei's mobile phone, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face.

After thinking seriously for a while, he seemed to have figured out the problem. He clapped his hands vigorously and said with an epiphany: "...I see! So this is all I need to do!"

"Thank you! The kind person whose ID is [Let's be friends!], after seeing your message, I feel like I can muster up the courage too!"

After entering his answer into the forum, the man with glasses raised his head, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the wall in front of him.

On the wall, there was a poster of a secretly taken photo of Asuka Tenjouin.

Asuka in the picture is not wearing her current white uniform, but the Obelisk blue girl's marine-style dress that Yusei is familiar with...

In the poster, Asuka gently places her palm on her mouth, walking and chatting with her two best friends Junko and Baihui with a smile.

He looked like he didn't notice at all that someone had secretly taken this photo of him.

"…Tomorrow! Tomorrow I will go confess my feelings to Tenjouin!"

Looking at the beautiful blonde girl on the poster on the wall, the man with glasses silently clenched his hands, and his heart seemed to be filled with some kind of firm determination: "Asuka! You must wait for me!!!"

……

"Hey, hey! Don't run so fast, Jianshan!"

"Hehehe~~~ It's Marufuji-senpai, your legs are too short and you can't keep up with us!"

"Oh~~~ Yuxing... this jogging route is pretty good!"

"Well... after all, this road passes through the Oberisk Blue Dormitory, which is naturally much more luxurious than our Osiris Red..."

The next day, Yusei and his group, who were planning to go to Duel Academy, decided on a whim to take a detour and pass by the Obelisk Blue Dormitory.

Feeling the beautiful scenery around them that was completely different from usual, they also felt a sense of novelty that was different from the past.

And at the top of the bushes they were passing by, there was a person lurking like a Peeping Tom.

That was the man with glasses who was determined to cause trouble after unexpectedly receiving encouragement from Yuki Judai last night.

"I found it, Asuka~ You are studying hard in the dormitory..."

"Today... I must confess to Asuka today! But... at this crucial moment, I can't muster up the courage..."

After struggling for a long time, the man with glasses, who was finally ready to confess, began to feel discouraged again, just like the past few times.

He was lurking on a tree trunk outside the Bai dormitory, using a telescope to peek into the scene inside the dormitory.

He doesn't have the courage to talk to Asuka in person, so this is the only way he can realize the meaning of his life.

In his own words, this behavior is called a lonely watchman.

But in reality, he was just a voyeur.
