Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"You...you're not up to any funny business, are you?"

"No, no, sir, are you free on Saturday?"

Hearing Yuma's question, Soreva instinctively pinched his chin and answered:

“If no [No.] card appeared that day, I would of course… wait, you wouldn’t be thinking of…”

However, before she could finish speaking, Soreva realized what Yuma was planning, and Yuma immediately nodded in agreement:

"That's right, it's Parents' Day on Saturday. Could you please come and be my parent?"

"No, no, no, how could I possibly agree to something like that! If Akari finds out, she'll definitely blame me for conspiring with you to deceive her, won't she?"

Seeing that Yuma had actually said it, Soreva quickly waved his hands in refusal. But Yuma also hurriedly argued with him:

"It's alright, Uncle! My sister and grandma both went to their class reunion that day, they won't notice! Besides, if my sister does find out, I'll say it was all my idea, I won't betray you, Uncle!"

"This……"

Seeing how determined Yuma was to have him participate in his place, Soreva couldn't help but hesitate.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Parents' Day is supposed to be a time for you kids and parents to create precious memories together, right? Are you sure you want me, an outsider who has nothing to do with you, to participate?"

"Uncle, please!"

Seeing that Yuma had clasped his hands together in supplication, Soreva could only let out a helpless sigh in the end:

"I understand, I'll go then. But let me make this clear beforehand, if Akari finds out and makes her angry, you'll have to take the blame yourself."

"I understand, thank you, Uncle!"

Upon hearing Soreva's agreement, Yuma immediately cheered. However, his cheer also attracted the attention of Akari in a nearby room:

"Yuma? What happened that makes you so happy?"

As Akari was about to arrive, Yuma instantly sensed something was wrong:

Oh no, if Akari-nee bumps into the old man, it'll be bad if we get caught!

So, Yuma immediately responded loudly while pushing Soreva downstairs:

"Ah! No, it's nothing. You can continue with your news work, sister!"

And so, Yuma led Soreva from the second-floor stairwell all the way to the front door. Seeing that neither Akari nor his grandmother had noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Soreva:

"Anyway, Uncle, I'm counting on you for Parents' Day!"

With that, Yuma slammed the door shut, blocking Soreva from entering. Soreva shook his head and sighed again.

"Sigh, kids are such a hassle."

Having said that, Soreva could only turn and leave. It seemed he needed to prepare for what this Parents' Day would be like tonight.

........................

"Oh no! I'm late! I'm late!"

Rushing down the stairs in a panic, Starlight, who was now quite familiar with Yuma, was no longer surprised by his daily lateness.

However, just as Yuma stepped off the last step and was about to turn and rush towards the door, everything suddenly went black, and he bumped into a warm embrace.

"Yuma, what's the rush?"

Breaking free from that embrace, Yuma saw a Akari who was completely different from her usual casual, unkempt appearance.

Today, Akari specially changed into a very fitted gray and white office lady suit, which perfectly highlighted her good figure; she also wore a little light makeup, making her even more radiant than usual, even making Yuma a little stunned.

This immediately provoked Akari to pout and complain:

"Okay, okay, stop staring like that!"

Wearing a brand-new kimono, Tsukumo Haru slowly walked up from behind Yuma, praising Akari's outfit highly:

"Clothes really do make the man; that's so true."

"Grandma's kimono is also very beautiful."

Taking advantage of the two women's mutual flattery, Yuma immediately stood up and crept towards the door, but he still couldn't escape Akari's eyes:

"Huh? Yuma, are you dressed like that to school? It's Saturday, you shouldn't have any classes today, right? You... you're not going to have extra lessons, are you?"

Just as Yuma was wondering how to respond to Akari's questions, the doorbell rang.

"coming!"

Hearing the doorbell ring, Akari didn't bother to ask Yuma any further. She immediately turned around and ran to open the door, where she saw Soreva standing there, dressed in a black suit and with his hair styled in a rare successful man's side part.

Upon seeing the completely transformed Akari, Soreva paused for a moment before raising his hand to greet her.

"Yo, Akari, good morning."

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Soreva!"

Having grown accustomed to Soleva's usual demeanor, seeing him like this for the first time still caused Akari to blush slightly. After greeting Soleva, Akari asked curiously:

"But what brings Soreva here?"

"Well... Yuma, it's time to go!"

Upon hearing Soleva's call, Yuma immediately responded and quickly ran to the door, saying to Akari:

"Anyway, sister, I'm off with uncle now!"

"and many more!"

However, Yuma acted as if he hadn't heard Akari's protests, grabbed Soleva and ran off, infuriating Akari who immediately stomped her foot in anger.

"Honestly, Yuma, we're all family, can't you just say what's on your mind?! But... since Soleva-kun is here, nothing should go wrong, right?"

"Well, since that child is with Yuma, nothing should happen."

Tsukumo Haru's voice of approval quickly rang out, prompting Akari to nod in agreement before turning her attention to her grandmother beside her.

"Since you've said so, Grandma, let's trust them. We should head to the class reunion now."

"Ok!"

Chapter 317 Everyone Gathers

"OK, we've arrived."

The car, borrowed from Shin-en, was parked on the street in front of Yuma's school, and Soleva and Yuma got out. But as soon as they got out, they heard a shout from behind:

"Hey! Yuma!"

The two turned around and saw that Tetsuo had already run up to Yuma, panting, looking at Soreva, who was getting out of a car with him, with some confusion.

"Hey? Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Faced with Iron Man's question, Soreva helplessly shrugged and answered:

"Well, as you know, Yuma's parents aren't home right now, but Yuma's grandma and older sister both have things to do today, so Yuma asked me to fill in for them and attend this Parents' Day."

"Huh! Is that even possible!?"

Upon hearing this answer, Tetsuo's face instantly showed shock, followed by a regretful shout.

"Ugh! If I'd known it could be done this way, I would have asked you to fill in for me, Uncle! It's such a hassle to have Mom come to Parents' Day!"

However, such words should not be spoken carelessly. The moment Tie Nan uttered those words, a huge fist slammed heavily onto his head.

A woman with a muscular build and a 99% resemblance to Tie Nan walked angrily up to him and began to question him:

"Tetsuo, what did you mean by that just now!?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Just as Tie Nan was feeling down, another girl's voice rang out joyfully:

"Yuma! And Tetsuo too, so you've all arrived already!"

The group turned around and saw the little bird about to run towards them with tiny steps, but it was stopped by a gentle woman dressed mainly in white, who looked like a grown-up version of the little bird herself. The woman frowned slightly and began to scold it:

"Little bird, you can't run around on the road. What if you get hurt?"

"I see."

And so, the two walked over slowly, and the three little ones huddled together and started chatting, while Soreva also started talking with the mothers of the other two.

"Excuse me, are you a relative of Yuma? I don't think I've seen you at the previous Parents' Days."

Seeing the mother bird asking him a question, Soreva immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, no, it's just that Yuma's older sister and grandmother have something to do today, and Yuma doesn't want to bother them. Since Yuma and I are friends, Yuma asked me to help cover for them."

Huh? How strange. Soreva felt like he had explained this kind of thing quite a few times today. In fact, he had a feeling that he would have to explain it to quite a few more people today.

Iron Man's mother, however, after hearing Soleva's explanation, asked with a gossipy look:

"Huh? Just ordinary friends? You look so young, you're not Akari's boyfriend, are you? Is that why Yuma asked you to help out at Parents' Day?"

At this point, Tie Nan's mother couldn't help but start complaining about her daughter.

"Sigh, if it weren't for Tiezi having to attend a class reunion today, she should have been the one attending Tienan's parents' day."

She's such a grown woman, why doesn't she learn to openly find a boyfriend?

Hearing Iron Man's mother's words, Soreva wiped the sweat from his brow and said sheepishly:

"Uh...you misunderstood. Yuma, Akari, and I are just ordinary friends. I was only dragged here to help because we know each other. I'm really not Akari's boyfriend."

"is it?"

Looking at Soreva with a questioning gaze, Iron Man's mother seemed to remember something and spoke again.

"Speaking of which, Tetsuko and Akari were classmates back then. Akari couldn't come today, so did she go to a class reunion?"

"Yes."

Soreva's instinctive reply instantly brought a smug smile to Iron Man's mother's face. She pointed at him and said...

"Look, you even know this kind of thing, and you still say you're not Akari's boyfriend? If Yuma were just a regular friend and asked you to fill in for him, he wouldn't have told you about this, right?"

There was nothing I could do; I was at the Youma family's house when they were talking about this, and that's how I overheard it!

However, Soreva knew he couldn't say these words; if he did, things would become unpredictable. He could only raise his hand to cover his face and let out a sigh.
