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

So, the next morning, Yuma, who was rushing to school, had just stepped out of his house when he saw this scene.

"Good morning, Yuma!" ×2

When the two girls greeted him, Yuma instinctively responded:

"Good morning, little birds and little cats!"

Only then did Yuma realize something was wrong.

"Hey? Kitten? What are you doing at my doorstep?"

Even the little bird asked curiously at this moment:

"Yes, I remember the kitten's house is quite far from the Yuma family's place, right? Why..."

Then, the little bird witnessed a scene that ignited her jealousy:

The kitten immediately walked affectionately to Yuma's side, naturally reaching out to link its arm with his, revealing a blissful expression:

"Of course it's because I want to go to school with Yuma, so I had the family driver drop me off here first. Yuma, let's go to school together!"

"Of course! It's more fun when everyone goes to school together!"

Seeing Yuma's enthusiastic welcome to the kitten's affection, the jealous little bird immediately puffed out her cheeks, hooked her arm around Yuma's other arm, and asserted her dominance over the kitten, not to be outdone.

"However, it must be quite troublesome for Kitten to come all the way from his home, right? It's enough for Yuma to have Tetsuo and me go to school with him."

"Let's go, Yuma, we'll be late if we don't hurry."

With that, the little bird pulled Yuma out of the kitten's arms and led him a few steps to the road, heading towards the school.

The kitten quickly called out, "Wait for me!" and hurriedly followed the two.

And so, the cat and the bird began a chaotic scene centered around Yuma on his way to school. The atmosphere between them was so intense that even Tetsuo, who usually played with Yuma on the way to school, was too scared to approach them.

However, Yuma, who is quite oblivious to matters of the heart, didn't notice anything amiss and chatted and laughed with the two as they walked towards the school.

Soon, this chaotic scene followed the group's footsteps and arrived at the academy.

Watching the frequent eye-catching exchanges between Kotori and Kitten around Yuma during class, their teacher, Ukyo, had no doubt that if their seats weren't fixed, the two of them would probably sit on either side of Yuma during class, vying for his attention.

Even the class monitor, Rikio, Tokunosuke, and others, lost their usual mischievousness in the tense atmosphere of the two's chaotic situation.

Finally, it was lunchtime. As Yuma happily took out his lunchbox, the cat called the bird away, preventing the bird from having lunch with Yuma.

With the departure of these two protagonists of today's chaotic scene, the entire class breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, finally dared to speak up... Hey, class monitor, you know, they usually like Yuma too, but I've never seen them act like this before."

Tokunosuke, who had gathered around Riki, immediately began gossiping quietly about the two girls in the midst of today's chaotic situation.

Faced with Tokunosuke's doubts, Rikkō Todoroki shrugged and said:

"I don't understand this kind of thing either. Perhaps only they themselves know why."

As for the person they're referring to...

On the rooftop of the school building, a little bird asked the kitten a question:

"Little Cat, is there something you need from me?"

Perhaps it was because the kitten's expression was very serious when it invited her to the top floor, unlike its previous jealousy towards her, that the little bird's tone was much less hostile towards the kitten when it asked her questions.

And the kitten, in response to the bird's question, said:

"That's right, little bird, I do have something I need your help with."

As she spoke, the kitten took out her phone and showed the photos that Soreva and the others had already reviewed the night before, as well as the photos that the little bird had also reviewed.

Although Kotori blushed when she saw that the main characters in the pictures were all Yuma, she quickly noticed the key point when she saw the photos of the shadowy figure and his eyes.

The little bird pointed to the pair of crimson eyes and asked the kitten:

"Little Cat, these are..."

“Little bird, this is why I asked you to come here. Last night, this thing inexplicably appeared in Yuma’s room, and I was worried that it might pose a danger to Yuma.”

Hearing the kitten say such serious words, the little bird knew that the kitten would not joke about Yuma's safety, and a look of panic instantly appeared on its face:

"We need to tell Yuma about this right away!"

As she spoke, the little bird was about to rush down the stairs to tell Yuma about it. However, before she could take a step, the kitten quickly grabbed the little bird's wrist and pulled her back.

Then, the kitten held up a finger to the bird, making a shushing gesture, and said:

“Be careful, little bird. I have a feeling that this strange thing might be related to ghosts or something. This kind of supernatural object might have already possessed Yuma. If we talk to Yuma now, it might overhear us and alert it.”

Hearing the kitten's words, the little bird finally stopped thinking about going down, but she still anxiously ran around in circles:

"But, but, what can the two of us do on our own? What if, what if Yuma gets into danger?"

"Don't panic, little bird. When I found out about this last night, I already sent the message to the uncle that Yuma knows. He said to hold back for now and come to us after school this afternoon to discuss a plan."

The kitten's words, and Soleva's presence, instantly calmed the little bird down, as if it had found its anchor.

"That uncle? If it's him, maybe he really can help. But why did you tell me about this?"

Then, the little bird saw the kitten cross its arms in front of its chest and say:

"Actually, I was thinking this morning that maybe I and Uncle alone wouldn't have enough manpower. So, I thought I'd ask Yuma's friends to get involved, maybe we can come up with a solution to save Yuma sooner."

So, little bird, let's work together to drive away this thing that's mysteriously appeared next to Yuma!

The little bird immediately grasped the kitten's outstretched hand:

"Yes! Let's protect Yuma together!"

Chapter 354 Nighttime Investigation of the Shadow

"So, is that why all of you are gathered here?"

Looking at the group of children in front of him, Soreva's lips twitched involuntarily. After all, at this moment, the members of the [No.] club, including Kotori, Kitten, Tetsuo, and even Rikio and Tokunosuke, had all gathered in front of him.

However, they seemed completely oblivious to the distress in Soreva's tone, and the kitten proudly declared:

"That's right! With everyone's help, we'll definitely be able to deal with that guy who mysteriously appeared in Yuma's room!"

To this, Soreva could only let out a wry smile, resting his forehead on his hand.

"No need! There are too many people, and sometimes they're not even needed!"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Faced with the kitten's confusion, Soreva could only shrug and say:

"After all, that strange thing was only appearing for the first time, so confirming what kind of thing it is is my top priority."

My original plan was just for you, Little Cat, to take me to observe outside the Youma family's room tonight, so there was no need for so many people.

"why is it like this……"

Upon hearing Soleva's words, those whom Soleva deemed useless let out a collective wail. After all, for children of that age, besides wanting to help Yuma, their main motivation was simply to see new and interesting things.

But now, it seems they can't see it, since Soreva never intended to take them with him.

"Sigh, let's call it a day, let's call it a day..."

Seeing that there was nothing fun to be had, Tokunosuke was the first to back down, which led Rikio and Tetsuo to leave dejectedly as well.

Facing the kitten, one of the last two remaining, Soreva immediately spoke:

"Anyway, Kitten, you can continue to investigate Yuma's area today just like you did yesterday. I'll go and help you when the time comes."

"I see!"

Seeing that the kitten readily agreed, Soreva immediately took out an earphone and tossed it to her:

"Here, take this. If anything unusual happens tonight, you can use this to call me directly."

"it is good!"

Seeing that the kitten had agreed, Soreva got up to leave, but the little bird that remained grabbed his wrist:

"Uncle, Yuma... he'll be alright, won't he?"

Seeing the little bird's worried expression, Soreva immediately reached out and gently patted her head, then spoke to comfort her:

"Don't worry, Kotori, I won't let anything happen to Yuma."

"Then... Uncle, I'll leave Yuma in your care."

After bowing deeply to Soreva, the little bird nodded and left. Soreva, having left the agreed meeting place, returned to his car and, without any politeness, addressed the passenger in the back seat:

"Well then, Orbit Seven, thank you for agreeing to help out tonight."

In response to Soreva's thanks, Rail Seven, who was in the back seat of the car, immediately raised his arm and said:

"You don't need to thank me. Since it's Lord Kaito's order, I will naturally do my best to carry it out! You only need to thank Lord Kaito!"

"Ha, that's really reliable, Orbit 7."

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

And so, night fell quickly. Although Yuma's room was still lit, he was completely unaware that his room in the attic had been targeted by a barrage of cameras.

"Little kitty, little kitty, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Upon hearing this voice, the person holding the small camera and pointing it at the kitten in Yuma's room immediately shook their head and spoke to Soreva on the other end of the earpiece:

"Not yet, uncle."

"Okay, stay vigilant."

As he spoke, Soreva, on a rooftop a little further away, aimed his long-tube telescope at Yuma's room, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

However, beside him, Orbit Seven kept making negative comments about Yuma:

"Hmph! That idiot Touma! After something like this happened, he still didn't find anything and made us stay here to observe in the middle of the night. He really is an idiot!"

"It's utterly absurd that such an idiot could defeat Lord Kaito in a duel!"

Then, Orbit 7 felt a light tap on its head from Soreva:

"Alright, I doubt even Kaito himself cares about this as much as you do, right? Stop bringing it up all the time. Besides, Yuma has a strange talent for dueling."

"Oh……"
