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

"Why...why did you pay for that cream puff for me? I crushed it when I snatched the feedback form from you, didn't I? Paying for someone else's things, are you an idiot?"

"You've got a sharp tongue as always."

After a brief, sarcastic remark, Soreva offered his explanation.

"Well, if I hadn't been teasing you just now, it probably wouldn't have broken. So, ultimately it was my mistake, and of course I can't let a little kid like you pay for my mistake."

Just as the shark was about to say, "I didn't expect you to still be a good person at a time like this," Soreva's voice rang out again in a cheeky tone:

"However, Shark, you really need to change your temper, which makes you get angry as soon as you're teased. Someone with your temper is perfect for teasing. If I have the chance in the future, I might tease you a bit."

This teasing remark instantly wiped away any gratitude the shark had felt, and he now looked at Soreva with an expression of utter disbelief.

"You bastard... I take back what I just said about you, you really are a jerk!"

"Well, I'll take that as a compliment. Oh, by the way..."

As he spoke, Soreva seemed to remember something, reached into his plastic bag, quickly found what he wanted, and tossed it towards the shark.

"Here, take this."

The shark instinctively caught what Soreva threw at it, and upon closer inspection of the packaging, it realized that it was the cream puff that Soreva had bought that day.

"What are you..."

Before the shark could even ask a question, Soreva said directly:

"Here, this is the cream puff that got crushed today. It might look terrible, but it should still taste pretty good. It's late at night, so grab something to eat before you start your night shift."

After saying that, Soreva picked up the bag, turned around, and left, leaving the shark to immediately let out a sneer:

"What an idiot, who would eat dessert to fill their stomach?"

However, despite saying that, the shark's hands betrayed its words as it tore open the cream puff's packaging. Seeing the puff already squashed and oozing cream, the shark's expression was one of utter disgust.

"Honestly, who would eat a cream puff like this? It's obvious that he didn't want to eat it, so he just threw it at me, right?"

However, he eventually pinched the part of the cream puff that wasn't covered in cream, scraped the cream out of the packaging with the puff, and finally took a bite.

After chewing a few times, the shark swallowed the mixture of cream and pastry in its mouth. Noticing that there was still some cream on its fingers from when it picked up the puff, it put its cream-covered fingers back into its mouth and licked the remaining cream clean.

"However, I didn't expect that the cream puffs this guy bought were coffee flavored, which is indeed suitable for me when I'm working the night shift."

After his reflection, Shark threw the puff pastry bag into the trash can at the entrance of the convenience store, walked back into the store, and began his evening work.

"But is that Shark guy really that short of money? He's even working at a convenience store."

Just as Soreva was pondering this, Shark, who had returned to the convenience store, said to the store manager:

"Hey, manager, it's a deal. If I defeat all the challengers during tomorrow's event and prevent the grand prize from being won by a customer, that powerful Rhea card is mine."

"Haha, of course!"

Upon hearing the store manager's quick agreement, Shark immediately clenched his fist and silently thought to himself:

"Great! Now my deck can become stronger again! IV, just you wait!"

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

"Ah!"

At that very moment, in Xinyuan City, a man with yellow and red hair and a strange cross-shaped scar across his right eye sneezed violently and blew his nose uncomfortably.

If the shark were here, it would surely recognize this person as its long-cherished enemy, IV.

This scene also caused a look of worry to appear on the face of a boy next to him who was dressed mainly in red with pink and white accents, had red hair and emerald green eyes, and a face as beautiful as a girl's:

"Are you alright, IV? You seem to be sneezing a lot lately, could it be a cold? Should we see a doctor?"

However, in response to his concern, IV's face revealed an impatient expression:

"That's unnecessary! Do you think I'd get sick, III? But..."

He rubbed his finger on the tip of his nose, and a fierce smile instantly appeared on IV's face.

"This feeling is like someone is talking about me... Oh right, could it be that guy called Shark?"

Hahaha, if I were to run into him again and tell him the truth, I wonder what kind of expression he'd have on his face? Hahahaha!

Seeing his older brother laughing wildly as if no one else was around, the boy known as III immediately put his hand to his forehead in distress:

“IV, please watch your image. We're on the street right now, and you're…”

Before III could finish speaking, the passerby's exclamation instantly completed what he hadn't said:

"Look! It's the champion of the Asian Junior Duel Championship! IV!"

Instantly, III and IV were surrounded by a huge crowd, and III let out a helpless sigh:

"Ah. I knew it would be like this."

However, facing these fans, IV instantly stopped his fierce laughter and showed a kind, friendly smile as he greeted the crowd that had gathered around him:

"Hello you all."

IV. This action instantly sparked a wave of celebration among the crowd:

"IV! Please sign this for me!"

"IV! Come and fight me!"

…………

Faced with all these requests, IV agreed with a kind smile on his face:

"I'm honored; serving my fans is my motto. Please take your time, one at a time."

Meanwhile, III, who witnessed all of this, couldn't help but mentally complain:

"This guy can actually hide his true colors well in situations like this. It's just a pity that someone challenged him to a duel just now, right? He'll probably be exposed when he fights."

However, all of this was a true spectacle for Soreva, who was passing through the intersection unaware of what had happened:

"Holy crap, how come there are so many people that they've blocked the intersection? What on earth happened?!"

Chapter 338 Puppet, Facing the Abyss

"Hahaha! This is the final fan service! [No.15 Mechanical Puppet - Giant Slayer]'s direct attack! [Dance of the End]!"

As Soreva squeezed into the center of the crowd, the first thing he heard was this sentence, which instantly changed his expression:

"What! [No.] card?"

Without hesitation, Soreva's silver-white Tyrannosaurus tattoo, which replaced the D-lens, immediately appeared before his eyes. At that moment, the scene around him instantly changed from a bustling street to a gloomy graveyard.

Right in front of Soreva, a huge, black humanoid puppet sitting upright immediately swung its whip, lashing out at one of the duelists in front of it, sending him flying to Soreva's feet.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Having experienced the battle with [No.], Soreva knew that in this world, fighting other cards might be nothing, but the damage taken in a battle with [No.] cards was real damage.

Just like the duelist he helped up, this duelist was clutching his chest in pain because the attack had caused his LP to drop to 0.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. This is just a fan service; how could I possibly hurt my fans?"

As a voice rang out, Soreva looked in the direction of the sound, and the figure that appeared before him made him slightly startled:

"You're... IV!?"

"Oh? What's so surprising about that? This place has been my fan service event since the beginning, didn't you know that?"

After the duel, the [Machine Puppet - Giant Slayer]'s body gradually turned into specks of light and dissipated. IV, emerging from these specks of light, slowly walked towards Soreva and said...

"How about it? If you become my fan now, you can also enjoy some special fan services."

"You recklessly used [No.] cards to hurt your own fans, and then there's the evil you committed against Shark and his sister... IV, you've really made me angry."

Slowly walking towards IV, Soreva unceremoniously revealed his Tyrannosaurus Rex D stats.

"If you want to duel with me, then I'll gladly oblige!"

"That D panel, and those tattoos..."

Upon seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex D-pattern on Soreva's hand and the Tyrannosaurus Rex tattoo near his eye, III immediately sensed something was amiss and tried to persuade IV to reconsider, however…

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be an acquaintance of the sharks, and even know about these things. Interesting, very interesting! Hahahaha!"

After a burst of maniacal laughter, a cruel expression immediately appeared on IV's face.

"So, if we take care of you, we should be able to lure that shark guy out, right?"

"If you can do it, you can give it a try!"

As he spoke, Soreva raised his Tyrannosaurus Rex D-Panel towards IV, and IV, without giving an inch, raised his own bronze and crimson D-Panel, which resembled a battle axe:

“Great! I was worried about what would happen if you ran away! Well then—”

"Duel!" ×2

"Then, I'll take the first strike! Draw a card! I'll Normal Summon [Mechanical Puppet - Egghead]!"

With IV's preemptive strike, after adding a card to his hand, he took a card from his hand and placed it on his D panel.

In an instant, a round, orange face, with dark yellow, center-parted curly hair and four pale, thin, and extremely mismatched puppet limbs, stood on the field of IV.

It even bowed to Soreva as if it were a gentleman.

IV quickly drew a card from his hand and sent it to D's panel:

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Egghead]! Discard one monster with [Machine Golem] in its name from your hand and deal 800 damage to you!"

I choose to send [Mechanical Golem - Shadow Toucher] from my hand to the Graveyard!

As this card was sent to the graveyard by IV, the [Bomb Head] on the field instantly opened its big head at Soreva, and a number of orange light bullets shot out from it, bombarding Soreva and reducing Soreva's LP to 3200.

IV, and immediately burst into a series of loud laughs at Soreva, who had just been bombarded:

"Hahaha! How's my fan service?"

"Hmph, it doesn't hurt."

Seeing Soleva casually brush off non-existent dust from his shoulder, IV's face immediately darkened, and he slapped a magic card onto his D panel:

"Then, I'll set a card face down, and the turn ends!"

"That's it?"
