Volume 29: Chapter The Past of Izayoi

“I’m sorry, You Xi-jun.

Xiaoxue has no ill intentions, but because of her work and some personal experiences, she is a little sensitive to this matter. "

"I know, I'm not angry. Izayoi-san meant well, and the fault this time is truly mine."

The sun was setting, the clock hand had moved to the lower right area, and a man and a woman walked out of the gate of Qingcheng High School.

The girl on the left has a short bob with brilliant golden hair and is wearing the school uniform of Kiyosumi High School. The elegant and fashionable school uniform further highlights her beauty, making the occasional passing students unable to help but turn around and look at her.

The other boy was much more ordinary.

He had black hair, black eyes, and a baby face with no other features except that it was pretty and clean. He was wearing a rustic blue and white coat. He looked like a passing extra in this world.

It was natural for these two very different people to walk together, forming a slightly strange yet ordinary scene.

No need to ask, these two people are You Xi and Xing Ye Wu.

Izayoi Yuki had other things to do, and she also had to lobby the school afterwards, so not long after dealing with Satomi Sho's matter, the three of them decided to disband on the spot and start formal club activities tomorrow.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, Xing Yewu and You Xi would of course travel together - they had no choice but to travel together, because You Xi had nowhere to go now.

The two of them walked and talked like this, and before they knew it, or perhaps the girl did it on purpose, they talked about what had just happened.

You Xi recalled and analyzed in a gentle voice: "Actually...Satoshi Satomi was right about at least one thing. Cards are the most important treasures of a duelist and should not be used as stakes in a duel. If it weren't for Satomi Satomi being so annoying, I wouldn't have planned to do this. The reason I agreed this time was essentially because I wanted to teach that guy a lesson and let him experience the feeling of losing an important card. But no matter what, I was indeed a little impulsive.

Izayoi-san warned me like that probably because he didn't want me to take risks after getting a taste of success and end up regretting it later."

Although he was absolutely sure this time before he agreed to increase the bet, it did not mean that there would be no problem if the result was good.

Otherwise, “Nine out of ten times you lose in gambling” would not have become a classic idiom that has been passed down to this day.

"Well, Yu Xijun, I'm glad you understand. Card gambling duels are borderline behavior in many ways. If you're not careful, it can be interpreted negatively. It's better not to touch it if you can."

Xing Yewu listened quietly to You Xi's entire monologue, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a relieved and happy smile.

She put her hands behind her back, moved forward step by step with her legs wrapped in white silk, and looked into the distant sky with her green eyes.

"Xiaoxue is sometimes too serious. She is strict with herself and others. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Some people may think she is not very humane. But if you are willing to learn more about her, you will understand that she is doing it for our own good."

"I understand. Honest advice hurts."

You Xi walked slowly with Xingye Wu and asked curiously, "Ms. Xingye mentioned her work and personal experience just now... Izayoi-san is working part-time at the Public Security Bureau, right? Her job is..."

"It's the duel guard."

Xing Ye Wu winked at the surprised You Xi playfully: "Very impressive, even though you are only an apprentice-level duel guard, it is not easy to become a professional at this age.

Xiaoxue is now being used as a living advertisement by the Public Security Bureau, and her achievements are not to be underestimated. For example, she personally arrested the illegal duelist who used the card spirit "Lava Demon" to wreak havoc at the beginning of the year, which caused quite a stir at the time.

"It's amazing."

Yu Xi simply made a common sense substitution and realized how admirable what Shizayezue did was. At the same time, a strong doubt arose in his heart.

"But... regardless of why the Public Security Bureau would allow a student to do this kind of work, is Izayoi-san so hardworking? Why would she want to be a duel guard?"

Normally speaking, students are a protected class.

Even if you have to work part-time, there are safer and higher-paying jobs.

"Well, this is a long story."

Xing Yewu showed a hint of hesitation, but she finally said, "Well, there are many people who know about this. You Xijun, you will know it sooner or later. I'll tell you first. Xiaoxue can become an apprentice duel guard at this age because..."

"Her father is the duel guard." Ling

……

"Hello, my name is Izayoi Yuki. May I ask if patient 1204 in ward is allowed to have visitors now?"

"Let me see...Okay. There will be no problem for the next thirty minutes. Please hurry if you want to visit the patient. We will be conducting an examination afterwards."

"Thank you."

The largest public hospital in Chenguang City, funded by the D Alliance.

The white-haired girl was riding in the elevator, carrying a basket of flowers bought from a fragrant garden, whose scent was said to be beneficial to physical and mental health, and staring blankly at the elevator wall.

Watching the numbers above constantly jumping, the floors are getting higher and higher.

Her uncontrollable memories and the subtext of a certain girl seemed to overlap at this moment.

“The special-grade duel guard, Izayoi Hoshi, was once the pride of Morning Light City.

He has solved more than a dozen major cases related to duels and card elves in a year, and arrested dozens of duel criminals above level A. Together with Uncle Logan, he is known as the strongest golden partner. "

With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opened and Shizayoi Yuki walked out.

She politely let go of the old lady and other patients with crutches or in wheelchairs and walked from the hall to the corridor on the side.

"Not only that, while he was a great success in his career, he also had a great harvest in love. He got together with his childhood sweetheart smoothly and soon gave birth to Xiaoxue. No matter who you ask, this is undoubtedly a happy family.

However……"

The girl found the corresponding number plate with familiarity, took a deep breath, sorted out her complicated feelings, and pushed the door open.

"All this goodness only lasted until five years ago."

The ward is spacious and does not seem crowded even though it is filled with many unnamed medical instruments.

The lighting was clear and bright, and the warm sunlight fell on the man on the hospital bed.

"It's me, Dad. Good afternoon."

Izayoi Yuki greeted the man with concern, her smile and voice pretending to be cheerful, yet they were saturated with a trace of sadness that was difficult to completely conceal.

The man on the hospital bed had his eyes closed and showed no sign of responding to his daughter.

Second update, today’s update is completed!

Volume 30: Chapter The Stolen Ace

"…vegetative state?"

You Xi paused and looked in surprise at the back of the blonde girl who walked in front of him.

"Ms. Xingye, you said... Izayoi-san's father has become a vegetable. What's going on?"

"It was just an accident."

Xingye Wu recalled and said: "I was only in elementary school at the time, so I don't know the details. If you want to know, it would be better to ask the person himself. I only remember that Uncle Izayoi met a very dangerous dark duelist and lost the dark duel. The most important trump card: "Stardust Dragon" was also taken away by the opponent. "

"Although I was lucky enough to survive, I suffered great mental damage and have not recovered yet. It is hard to say whether I can be cured in the future. I may have to be like this for the rest of my life."

――Dark Duel.

Because of the relationship between card spirits and history, this concept is not so secretive, it is a kind of semi-common sense. If you want to know, you can know it. If you don't check, you won't know the relevant information.

Unlike normal duels, this kind of duel can easily result in broken hands and feet, and many participants may become insane or even lose their lives. It is an extremely dangerous way of dueling. During the world war a hundred years ago, the "elves" of various countries who fought with real fire mostly engaged in dark duels.

Nowadays, dark duels are banned by the Duel Law, and any dark duelists who violate the law will be hunted down by the local public security bureaus. Since Izayoi is a special duel guard, the trump card of the law enforcement agency, it is not surprising that he is targeted by his mortal enemy.

"That's why Xiaoxue became an apprentice duel guard. She wanted to find the murderer through official intelligence channels and arrest him personally. Furthermore..."

Xingye Wu didn't say what she was going to do further, and Youxi didn't ask, but asked instead: "Is there any way to save Izayoi-san's father?"

"Yes." Xing Yewu nodded, "The method is in the Star Cup."

"The champion of the Star Cup will have a chance to use the 'Star Cup'. This 'Star Cup' is said to be an alchemical artifact made by the D Alliance in imitation of the lost 'Star Relic'. It can cleanse the human soul and heal all pains. It is no problem to use it to treat the sequelae of the Dark Duel. This is Xiaoxue's goal."

"Is that so? That's why I decided to participate in the Star Cup..."

Through Xingye Wu's understanding explanation, Youxi felt that he understood Shizayo Yuki better.

He and she both have reasons to participate in the Star Cup and to win the championship. Leaving aside the friendship, their interests are the same.

Also, was my father's trump card taken away by someone? No wonder Izayoi Yuki had that reaction to the gambling card...

"Yes. No matter how long it takes, how much effort it takes, or how many powerful opponents she faces, Xiaoxue is determined to win the championship. As for me... I don't have such strong determination as Xiaoxue. I just want to get a good ranking in the Star Cup and pave the way for my future career. Of course, it would be best if I could win the championship."

Xing Yewu laughed softly when she said this, and her laughter was cheerful and cheerful, as if she had no worries at all.

Deep down, You Xi was quite envious of this kind of girl.

"That's not bad. You don't need to carry any heavy burdens. It's good to enjoy the duel. Although carrying things can make people stronger, enjoying the duel is also a way to show your strength. Miss Xingye, just do it in your style."

"Haha, You Xijun, you are really good at talking. This is basically what happened with Xiaoxue. You should never show too much sympathy in front of her. She doesn't like others to feel sorry for her."

"I know, I won't do that."

"Just keep it in mind, You Xi-kun... ah, here we are."

As they walked, Xing Yewu stopped in front of a building. You Xi looked up and saw the words "Gem Bank" written on the sign of the building.

"You Xijun, please wait for me in the hall for a while."

Xing Yewu gave You Xi some instructions, then went into the bank first and started handling business at the counter.

When she came back, she had a brand new hard bank card in her hand.

"Here, You Xijun. I will transfer all your money to this card later. The password is xxxxxx, remember it. You can also change the password yourself afterwards."

"sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome, it's a small matter. Besides, if you keep such a large sum of money in my account, I won't be able to sleep at night. What if you get greedy for your money?" Xing Yewu joked as she handed the bank card to You Xi, "But, You Xi, can you let me use your property first?"

"no problem."

You Xi agreed first, then asked, "Miss Xingye, is there anything urgent you need?"

"Urgent need? No, no, no, you're wrong, You Xijun. It's not for me to use, it's for you."

Xing Yewu raised a finger and explained, "Look, according to what Xiaoxue said, I have to protect you closely. That means we have to live together for a while, right? So I think I should take this opportunity to buy everything I need. For example, a toothbrush, a change of clothes, a cell phone..."

"Stop! Stop!"

The girl lowered her head and bent her fingers one by one, counting the daily necessities she had to buy. You Xi had to speak up to stop her from continuing.

"What's wrong, Yuxi-kun?"

"Ms. Xingye..."

You Xi looked at Xing Yewu dumbfounded, and finally couldn't help but complain: "You really don't mind at all, you should know what this means, right?"

"Living together, I know."

Xing Yewu looked normal, not shy at all, not the slightest bit. Her graceful demeanor made You Xi feel that he was making a big deal out of nothing.

"Like I said just now, this is force majeure, there's nothing we can do about it. Before you, You Xijun, master Feeling, you're still very vulnerable, and someone needs to protect you. And..."

Xing Yewu thought for a moment, then continued, "If it's you, You Xijun, I have no problem with that. We are teammates, and teammates should help each other and trust each other, right? What I'm doing now is just part of my job."

"is that so……"

"What else could it be? You don't think I fell in love with you at first sight and am crazy about you, do you?"

"Uh……"

"Hahaha, You Xi-jun you are so cute."

Seeing that You Xi was speechless for a moment as if he had been hit on the spot, Xing Yewu couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing for a long time, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Well, it's normal for You Xijun to misunderstand. I do have a high impression of you, otherwise I wouldn't do these things. But not yet, the accumulation of favorability has not reached that level yet."

"So, night raids are forbidden, Yuxi-kun. You will definitely lose my favor if you do that."

"No matter what, I won't do such a thing!"

You Xi said unhappily, "Ms. Xingye, who am I in your eyes?"

"Hmm? Isn't there a saying that 'all adolescent boys are sex-hungry ghosts'?" Xing Yewu said with a smile, "No more jokes, You Xijun, you don't have any other questions, right? Then it's settled. After you buy the things and bring them home, you can go to another place with me."

"On the way?" You Xi thought of something, "Ah, it's the place Miss Xingye mentioned."

"Yes. Go there and solve your identity problem."

Volume 31: Chapter Angelic Church

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled down from the western sky, and large patches of clouds were dyed with rosy clouds. A bus slowly drove along the avenue and stopped at a bus station.

When the train started again, two more figures appeared under the station roof.

I guess there is no need to introduce who the figure is.

"Is this here?"
