A duelist never gives up!

"Then...then you continue." Ai said, turning around and sitting on Yuan Qi's thighs, gently leaning on Yuan Qi's chest and said, "Just think of it as my reward for your hard work in the duel."

"Eh... just a pat on the head?" Yuan Qi said a little disappointedly.

Aiyi's face flushed, and her slender legs rubbed against each other slightly. She stammered, "If you want, it's not impossible..."

"Really?" Yuan Qi said excitedly.

Ai's face was red as if bleeding. After a long while, she nodded and said in a thin voice, "Hmm..."

"Then give it to me now!" Yuan Qi said.

"Now?! Here?!" Ai clutched her skirt in panic and stammered, "It's not a good place, right? Let's go back and talk about it, okay? Let's go back to the dormitory and..."

"Um, but didn't you give it to me in the aisle last time?" Yuan Qi looked at Ai with a puzzled look.

"Huh? When did I give it to you?!" Ai turned his head and looked at Yuan Qi as if he had seen a ghost.

"Didn't you give me the Migratory Bird deck on the road?" Yuan Qi looked at Ai strangely.

Ai was slightly stunned, and the pink on her face disappeared completely, and she became indifferent: "You don't want a new deck, do you?"

"What else could it be but a new deck?" Yuan Qi stroked his hair and said, "Honestly, I thought you wouldn't have Duel Force to print a new deck after you printed Migrant Bird..."

Yuan Qi saw that Ai's face was becoming increasingly unsettled, and asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that the soul synchronization is also harmful to you?"

"Go to hell." Ai lowered his head and uttered a hoarse voice from his cute little mouth.

"Ah?" Yuan Qi looked at Ai blankly, wondering why such cold words could come out of her rosy lips.

"Go to hell! Bastard!!!"

Ai stretched out his hands, pinched Yuan Qi's neck in anger and said: "I will kill you!!!"

"what?!"

"Give up! It's no use even if you kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Well?!"

“I don’t want to listen, I ...!!!”

"???"

Just when Yuan Qi felt that he was going to die from lack of oxygen, a series of gentle knocks on the door interrupted what Ai was doing.

"Stop messing around, someone is coming." Yuan Qi pinched Ai's smooth and tender cheek.

"Hmph!" Ai rolled his eyes and disappeared on the spot.

Of course, she didn't really disappear, she just didn't want Yuan Qi to see her.

"Come in, the door should not be locked." Yuan Qi said softly.

"squeak--"

The heavy wooden door was gently pushed open, and three cute little heads poked in from outside.

"Hmm? Junior high school... no, elementary school? Our school doesn't have an elementary school, right?" Yuan Qi looked at the three little girls, touched his chin, and couldn't help but guess, "Are you the teachers' children?"

"No, no." A little girl wearing glasses shook her head.

"We don't have parents." Without waiting for Yuan Qidu to ask, another short-haired little girl shook her head firmly.

"Um, sorry." Yuan Qi realized that he had said the wrong thing and said embarrassedly.

"No need." A little red-haired girl who looked a bit like Honglian said with her bright eyes, "You are the legendary 'Yuan Qi', right?"

"It's me." Yuan Qi was not modest. He had known for a long time that he was famous.

The three little girls looked at each other after hearing this. Then the short-haired girl stepped forward, took out an envelope, and handed it to Yuan Qi, saying, "Excuse me, is this letter for Sister Honglian?"

Yuan Qi took the letter from the little girl, opened the envelope, looked at his own crooked handwriting, and nodded with certainty: "Yes, I wrote it."

"Then, you are Sister Honglian's friend, right?" The little girl with glasses looked at Yuan Qidao nervously.

Yuan Qi frowned, sensing something was amiss.

The three little girls in front of him didn't look like fans who came to ask for his autograph. Furthermore, they were holding envelopes and had questions...

Yuan Qi's face froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Did something happen to Honglian?!"

Suddenly, crystal tears flowed from the eyes of the three little girls, and choked sobs echoed in the empty ward.

"Please save Sister Honglian!"

written request for leave

Here's what happened: the school said I was from a low-risk area and could return to campus. But when I got to the train station, the staff told me I was from Wuhan and needed to call the community to report. They told me to have the school contact the community. Then, presumably because the community didn't want to take the risk, they refused to call. I was stuck at the train station from 11: p.m. to : p.m., skipping lunch or dinner. After leaving the station, I was told I could return to school for quarantine, then told I'd be isolated separately. By the time I got to the hotel the school had arranged, it was already past a.m. I was physically and mentally incapable of typing. I'd originally planned to see if I could wake up in the wee hours to write, but I woke up once at a.m. and felt sleepy. Now I've woken up again, still feeling listless, so I'm asking for leave—my first time. I finished typing and went back to sleep; I was so exhausted.

Volume Four

Chapter 1: It's your misfortune that I got the first move.

"Warning! Warning!! There are intruders entering the institute!!!"

"There's only one intruder! They're rapidly approaching the fourth emergency exit!!"

"Please arrest him as soon as possible! Please arrest him as soon as possible!"

A cold mechanical sound was heard, and the originally cold white light of the institute turned scarlet in an instant. Guards in black uniforms poured out and rushed towards the fourth emergency exit.

"Tsk, you react pretty quickly."

Shi Yu, wearing a night suit, hugged the items in his arms tightly, looked at the pursuers behind him, stretched out his slender fingers, deftly pressed a few times on the keyboard, and opened the last safety door.

"squeak--"

As the last security door opened, the passage out of the research institute appeared in front of Shi Yu.

"It's over now!" Shi Yu put on a sly smile and rushed into the passage. However, in front of her, in addition to the night breeze blowing in from the exit, there was also an old man in a white robe wearing a monocle who slowly walked towards her from the exit.

"A pincer attack?" Shi Yu glanced at the pursuers behind him, raised his head, and gently raised his chin to the old man in front of him and said, "I advise you to get out of the way quickly, because I don't really want to attack the old man."

Facing Shi Yu's threat, the old man simply slowly extended his left hand and said in a deep voice, "You have committed three crimes."

"First, breaking into my research institute and stealing items without permission."

"Second, he spoke rudely to me."

"Third, your arrogant look really annoys me."

As he spoke, a white duel disk appeared on the old man's arm.

Shi Yu raised an eyebrow at the duel disk on the old man's arm. "I didn't expect that the director of the Imperial Research Institute, Albert Zorrilla, is also proficient in dueling? But it won't be that easy to stop me."

As he spoke, Shigure also raised his duel disk, inserted the card deck on his waist into the duel disk, and said lightly:

"duel!"

"duel!"

"drop!"

Albert's duel disk rang first.

"It's your misfortune that I got the upper hand." Albert drew five cards from his deck and said coldly in his old voice, "I'll make you regret your actions from the bottom of your soul."

"Wow, you're so brave. Don't cry if you lose." Shi Yu said indifferently, looking at the five cards in his hand.

Albert ignored Shigure's sarcasm and showed a card in his hand.

"I activate the effect of Chaos Fantasy Magician in my hand. Show this card in your hand to your opponent. Add 1 "Dark Magician" or a monster with that card name from your deck, excluding Ritual Monsters, to your hand. Afterward, select 1 card from your hand and return it to the top of your deck."

"I'll add Magician's Twin Souls from the deck to my hand, and then return a card from my hand to the top of the deck." Albert said, returning the previous Chaos Fantasy Magician to the deck.

"Magician's Twin Souls... Let me guess, you're definitely not using an ancient deck like the Black Magician." Shi Yu said suddenly.

"It's okay to let you know, I'm using the expansion deck - SPYRAL." Albert said lightly.

"Then I'm really... so lucky!" Shigure said with a slight smile as he sent a card to the Graveyard. "Since there are no cards in my Graveyard, I'm activating the effect of Dimensional Attractor. I can only activate this card by sending it from my hand to the Graveyard. Until the end of the next turn, the card sent to the Graveyard remains in the Graveyard and is banished!"

Albert's pupils shrank sharply. "Are you actually constructing a sub-dimensional attractor?!"

Fortunately, he still had some countermeasures in his hands. He had originally kept them to deal with the proliferating G, but now he couldn't care less!

"I activate the quick-play magic card - Designator of the Grave!" Albert inserted the Grave Finger in his hand into the Duel Plate.

"You have Grave Finger? Then can you still block this move?" Shigure sent another card in his hand to the graveyard and chuckled, "Chain - Proliferation G!"

"..."

At the same time, under the same night sky, Yuan Qi was sitting alone in a carriage, gazing at the bright moon outside through the glass window. He said with his chin lowered, "The moon in this other world is no different from the moon in my previous world."

"They look the same on the outside, but if you look closely you might notice a difference." Ai sat next to Yuan Qi, gently shaking her slender legs. "Just like from a distance, a person only looks like a head, two arms, and two legs, right?"

"There are also differences in long hair, short hair, and no hair." Yuan Qi said seriously.

"Then go a little further away." Ai said with a pout.

"Then it'll become a standing matchstick, with no visible limbs." Yuan Qi seemed to have thought of something and teased Ai, "But we can still tell the difference between tall and short. For example, I'm a tall matchstick, and you're a short matchstick."

"Haha, I can become a tall matchstick now." Ai said, gently placing his right leg on his left leg and snapping his fingers crisply.

"Clap!"

Immediately afterwards, Ai, a tall and graceful girl, appeared beside Yuan Qi.

"How is it?" Ai said proudly, puffing out his chest.

"It's okay." Yuan Qi forced his eyes away from Ai's body, turned his head and looked out the window.

"Is it all okay?" Ai puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and grabbed Yuan Qi's arm.

"Okay, okay, it's beautiful, okay?" Yuan Qi felt the softness in his arm and was afraid that Ai would do something more outrageous, so he said quickly.

"That's better." Ai nodded with satisfaction, closed her eyes slightly, and leaned quietly on Yuan Qi, as if she was planning to sleep like this.

However, Ai did not sleep. She just asked softly, "By the way, are you really not going to tell Xuefeng and the others about Honglian?"

Yuan Qi was slightly startled, his eyelids twitching twice, then he shook his head and said, "No, Honglian's matter involves the Duelist Alliance, and I don't want to involve them."

Yuan Qi paused and explained, "After all, I've already got the pass to the Land of Origin. Even if I offend the Duelist Alliance, I don't mind. Xuefeng and the others all have families."

It would be bad if they were involved and their families were implicated.

Although the Duelist Alliance is not yet a formal government agency, it seems that the situation is not far from becoming a formal government agency.

"No, that's just your wishful thinking. Maybe they actually want to help you, and it may not be that serious..." Ai said with his head tilted.

"If it's not that serious, I can easily handle it alone," Hara Shichi shrugged. "Julie needs to go home to visit her grandmother, Nero needs to go home for special training, Yukikaze needs to go home to reunite with her parents, and Sera seems to be planning to spend the entire summer gaming. It's a hard-earned vacation, and everyone has their own things to do."

"But..." Ai was about to say something when the carriage shook violently and the carriage, which had been shaking all the way, suddenly stopped moving forward.

"Are we going to take a break?" Yuan Qi shouted from inside the carriage and asked the driver.

"No, we have arrived at the royal capital." The middle-aged driver replied.

Chapter 2: The road to our capital is very winding!

"Here's the toll, then."

After giving the remaining fare to the driver, Yuan Qi waved his hand and walked into the city.

By the way, it's daytime now.

The royal capital is generally not open 24 hours a day. Last night, Yuan Qi rested outside the royal capital.

As soon as he entered the royal capital, Yuan Qi saw his destination - the headquarters of the Duelist Alliance.

The main thing is that the building is as tall as the imperial palace, and even looks a little taller.

Isn't the Duelist Alliance afraid that everyone will know Sima Zhao's intentions if they do this?

"Okay, Ai, take me over there." Yuan Qi said to Ai on the side. He did not forget that the god Ai had the magical skill of teleportation.
