Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 4 Anime-style Duel

Keith Howard, also known as Keith the Thief and Keith the Plunderer.

A former US champion, a semi-finalist in the Duel Kingdom, and a stepping stone who cheated and was happily sent away by Jonouchi.

Although he doesn't have a famous meme like the insect feather moth that has been passed down through the ages and even the protagonist has been ridiculed, thanks to the headscarf that symbolizes freedom and the stereotyped personality, this guy also left a deep impression on You Ming who once watched the anime.

Of course, that's all.

If possible, You Ming actually didn't want to have contact with this kind of person.

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"

Facing the black sunglasses, You Ming could even clearly see a touch of authentic old American style.

"Rude, brutal, arrogant."

"Didn't your parents teach you that remaining silent is not the right way to deal with problems?"

Faced with that arrogant and domineering attitude, You Ming just shook his head.

"I think before we discuss this mess, do you owe me an apology?"

He slowly removed the Absorption Shield from the Duel Disk and returned it to his deck, then stood up.

"The previous explosion almost caught me in it."

"So what? Now that we've come to a place like this, do you still expect any decent people to appear here?"

Keith sneered.

"Anyway, are you going to hand over the things here yourself, or..."

He drew the pistol from his waist.

Staring at the black muzzle of the gun, You Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

But before he could think of a countermeasure, the robber directly inserted the pistol into the device worn on his left hand.

‘click’

The device slowly unfolded, forming a metallic duel disk.

"Does it still take a little 'education' before you're willing to listen to adults?"

Well, this tastes just right.

Seeing Keith's expression that said 'I'll draw a card if you don't obey', You Ming tried his best to keep a straight face.

Anyway, to put it another way, this is basically equivalent to taking out a high-powered weapon and threatening with force on other sets.

Thinking about it this way, the situation seems very dangerous?

But it doesn't matter, the original is even worse.

Beat, smash, rob and steal.

In the Duel Kingdom, where the protagonist appears, Keith has never done anything normal, from sneaking onto the island to beating up his own brothers and taking away their entry tickets, all the way to the semi-finals.

Even compared to his behavior of taking cards out of his crotch, Pandora's behavior of cutting cards might be more in line with the rules.

From a certain perspective, the fact that he can now take out the duel disk and actively play cards can be considered an improvement.

If you think about it carefully, it's quite inspiring?

"What's that look in your eyes? Am I that funny?"

Perhaps the subtle emotions that were unconsciously revealed hurt the champion. When You Ming broke free from his complicated thoughts, he saw Keith's angry expression.

Arrogant, selfish, but with a strong sense of self-esteem.

Kaiba, who also possesses this attribute and served as a villain in the early stage, was truly redeemed by the brotherhood and the dream of Kaiba Paradise that emerged in the Duel Kingdom arc after being rubbed by various dark games with his brothers.

As for Mr. Keith...

"Yeah, indeed."

Facing the undisguised anger that was coming at him, You Ming nodded very honestly.

"It's really funny that you, the former U.S. champion, have fallen to the point of bullying an ordinary 'little boy' like me, and are trying to find your lost self-esteem in me."

He is not a masochist, and he would not foolishly move his face closer to someone who wants to slap him.

"Who are you working for now? The Ghouls? Or are you still hanging around, doing your dirty work, and getting drunk in bars?"

Compared to this kind of thing, just slapping someone back is more in line with his aesthetic taste.

Of course, be elegant!
"Or are you willing to work for the International Illusion Society?"

Although he didn't think he was very proficient in speaking, he was a time traveler.

Although many people pay more attention to the so-called foresight, this layer of identity is also an unparalleled weapon when digging up negative information.

“Enough!!” Although there was no swear word, You Ming could clearly see that the former champion started gasping for breath as if he was having difficulty breathing because his lungs were punctured.

The reason why he fell was that he was defeated by Bekas in a teasing way when he challenged him. The father of Duel Monsters did not even fight head-on, but wrote the tactics on a piece of paper and let a child act as a thug to pin him, the then-powerful American champion, to the ground.

If he could really let go of this matter, he wouldn't have fallen from champion to bottom and become a homeless person overnight.

"Stop talking nonsense and show your true colors with your hands."

【You have a new challenger! 】

He strode over with great momentum and handed over his deck of cards.

In contrast, You Ming also handed the card to him.

After all, there is no way.

The automatic shuffling function that many card players dream of was not available until at least the 5ds era, and checking the graveyard and the opponent's monster effects did not appear until a5.

As the starting DM, even the later GX shuffled and cut the cards with each other.

So, now this delicate situation has arisen.

"You sharp-tongued little bastard, I swear you'll regret this rotten mouth of yours."

"Oh, if you can do it, then you can try it. I'm curious about the value of someone like you's oath."

Despite the seemingly tit-for-tat words, the two did not take any further action and just kept shuffling their cards.

After cutting the cards between the two sides, they distanced themselves from each other again.

Only at this moment did the sacred ceremony truly begin:
"duel!"

【Youming LP: 4000】

Keith Howard LP: 4000

Although the 4000 LP is different from the real card rules, he is more familiar with this rule than the early 2000 LP.

"So, do you want to flip a coin or play rock-paper-scissors..."

"First strike is mine! Draw a card!"

"..."

Just as You Ming asked, he saw that Keith already had six cards in his hand.

Referee, someone here is not following the rules. Can you just give him the loss?
Of course, there is no referee here, and no one will pay attention to You Ming’s inner complaints.

As an opponent, Keith would not think that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"Humph, it looks like even the goddess of victory is on my side, brat!"

Looking at the other party's provocative expression, and then looking at the red, green and blue in his own hand, You Ming suddenly felt a little tired.

"Never mind. That's how animation works. It's all about who has the loudest voice."

As for whether the first round plus the early card drawing can give you an advantage, to be honest, You Ming is not very worried about this issue.

After all, the animation is nothing more than summoning a monster to show friendship. In the DM environment, the monster summoned might be a four-star mortal bone.

and so……

"Magic Card - Angel's Charity. Draw three cards from your deck, then send two cards from your hand to the Graveyard."

"?"

When he came to his senses, You Ming only saw a smiling angel appearing in front of him.

Nest, a banned card that allows unconditional card drawing!
But before he could be surprised, a huge hand had already begun to absorb the soul light of the cemetery.

"Next is the magic card - 'Silent Dead'!"

In that radiance, a gigantic war machine slowly emerged, and the weapons around it emitted a sharp, cold light.

"One of the cards I discarded was a Normal Monster - 'Mechanic Hunter'. Using the card's effect, I Special Summoned 'Mechanic Hunter' from the Graveyard in Defense Position!"

Mechanical Hunter (lv4)

Attribute/Dark

Race/Mechanical

"atk/1850 def/800"

Looking at the mechanical monster with its weapon retracted, as if in a defensive posture, You Ming's heart skipped a beat.

It was broken, and he started to operate it.
