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

It seems neither he nor Kaito has ever hunted this card called [No. 7 Lucky Striped Man], so where did this card come from?

"Is Mr. Kokoro an idiot? This is such an important [No.] card, and he just put it on display. He deserves to be stolen!"

Hearing Soreva's complaints on the other end of the phone, and considering that Mr. Xinyuan was now his boss, Ghosh still chose to defend Mr. Xinyuan:

"No, no, no, this has nothing to do with Mr. Xinyuan. Mr. Xinyuan outsourced that art museum, and he was unaware of the exhibits they displayed."

"If it weren't for today's theft, which prompted the museum to call the police, we wouldn't have known there was such a [No.] card in the museum."

Now, Soreva finally knew the origin of the [No. 7 Lucky Striped Man] card, which also gave him reason to laugh at his unscrupulous boss:

"Ha, they make Kaito and me hunt for [No.] cards every day, and yet they didn't even notice this [No.] card sitting right in front of them in the art museum they outsourced. Kokoro-en, that heartless boss, is really blind to what's right under your nose!"

"Forehead……"

Hearing Soreva's latest complaint about Mr. Xinyuan, Ghosh sensed Soreva's deep resentment towards him. To avoid hearing any more disrespectful remarks about his boss from Soreva, Ghosh decided to relay Mr. Xinyuan's words to Soreva as soon as possible.

"In short, Soreva, Mr. Heart Garden hopes you can find the culprit who stole the [No.] card as soon as possible and take the [No.7 Lucky Striped Man] back from him."

"Alright, do you have any leads on your end?"

Immediately after asking that question, Soreva heard only a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Soreva finally heard Ghosh's voice:

"No, even the police don't have any leads right now."

Ghosh then hung up the phone, leaving Soreva to immediately erupt in anger:

"Damn it! How am I supposed to find this person without any clues?! How could I possibly find them?!"

After finishing his rant, Soreva could only put down his phone, look up, and sigh:

"A sin!"

But just as Soreva was sighing like this, a familiar voice came from behind him:

"Uncle, that's great! I've finally found you again!"

Turning his head, Soreva saw Yuma standing in front of him, holding a collection of Heart Fragments, showing off as he spoke to him.

"Look, old man, I've collected so many heart fragments! Now, you should be ready to duel me, right!?"

"Oh? Let me see... one, two, three, four?"

After counting the Heart Fragments that Yuma possessed, Soreva immediately exclaimed in admiration.

"You've already defeated three opponents and collected four Heart Fragments? Well done, Yuma!"

However, after praising him, a helpless expression appeared on Soreva's face:

"Although I'd love to duel you right now, I just got a really troublesome favor from a colleague: to find someone without any leads!"

Hearing Soleva's words, Yuma, while feeling regretful, couldn't help but nod in empathy:

"Ah, I understand! My sister does the same thing. She inexplicably sends me a photo to arrest someone, completely disregarding my participation in WDC."

For a moment, Soreva and Yuma were caught in a sense of shared misfortune.

"Hey Yuma, how about we do this?"

Soon, a smug look appeared on Soreva's face, and he raised a finger to Yuma, saying...

"How about we find somewhere else to do something else and ignore this stupid thing they asked us to do?"

However, before Yuma could reply, a small hand pinched Soleva's waist, causing a sharp pain. Soleva turned his head and saw the little bird glaring at him angrily.

"Uncle! Don't corrupt Yuma!"

"Alright alright……"

Faced with the little bird, who was unusually angry because she was protecting her husband, Soreva immediately raised her hand to surrender. But just as the little bird turned her head to warn Yuma not to follow Soreva's example, she suddenly froze halfway through turning her head.

"Little bird, little bird!"

Hearing Yuma's voice calling in her ear, Kotori snapped out of her daze and turned to see Yuma looking at her with a curious expression.

"Little bird, what did you see? Why are you suddenly distracted?"

"Ok!"

Hearing Yuma's question, Kotori immediately turned her head and pointed towards a bench not far from the group.

"Yuma, look, isn't that the person Akari-nee asked you to find?"

Upon hearing this, Yuma immediately took out the photo Akari had sent him and compared it with the person Kotori had pointed out sitting on the bench. A look of delight immediately appeared on his face:

"It really is!"

Immediately afterward, Yuma ignored Soleva and Kotori beside him and ran towards the person's direction, with Kotori naturally following behind.

As for Soleva, he naturally followed Kotori and Yuma, intending to watch the fun.

Chapter 368 Charlie Using Gambling Cards

Hey! Uncle over here!

At this moment, Charlie McCoy, who had successfully stolen the [No.7 Lucky Striped Man] from the Heart Garden Art Museum, was sitting on a bench in Heart Garden, pondering how he could hide his identity and escape from the city when he suddenly saw a little boy with black and red hair and a lobster head rushing towards him, shouting loudly.

Could it be that I've already been discovered? Is this boy someone the cops sent to test me?

Just as Charlie was pondering this, and even his gaze became wary, he saw the boy in front of him suddenly give a thumbs up and introduce himself:

"My name is Tsukumo Yuma!"

"Ninety-nine……"

Muttering that familiar surname, Charlie seemed to see a familiar figure beside Yuma, a girl who had once been his girlfriend, Akari Tsukumo.

"Could it be... that you're Akari's younger brother?"

Upon hearing Akari's name mentioned by the person in front of him, Yuma immediately asked:

"Do you know Akari-nee?"

Hearing Yuma's almost admitting answer, Charlie immediately relaxed and laughed heartily, saying to Yuma:

"Hahaha, we know each other, of course we know each other! Could it be that you were sent by Mingli to find me?"

"Ah, my sister said she's determined to catch you."

Hearing these words, which, though clearly coming from Yuma's mouth, sounded strangely like something Akari would say, Charlie immediately burst into laughter again:

"Haha, you think you can catch me? That's so typical of your sister!"

Yuma, being the outgoing person he is, couldn't help but complain to this complete stranger about his sister as soon as Charlie admitted to being an acquaintance of Akari:

"That's right, I'm really busy with WDC!"

Did you also attend WDC?

Upon hearing Yuma claim to be a WDC contestant, Charlie's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out the [No. 7 Lucky Striped Man] card he had stolen from his card box.

"In that case, why don't you have a duel with me?"

However, because Charlie was holding a card with the back facing Yuma and the others who had just arrived, none of them noticed that the card in his hand was the [No. 7 Striped Lucky Man], which had now become stolen property.

However, Charlie's explanation after Yuma's puzzled "Duel?" still caught Soreva's attention:

"Yeah, let's try our luck with this card."

"The luck of this card?"

This sentence reminded Soreva of the cheaters he had encountered today who used gambling decks.

"Could it be that this man has some connection with those cheaters? And is the card in his hand also a similar card with gambling effects?"

But this thought only flashed through Soreva's mind for a moment, and in the end, Soreva just smiled and shook his head, rejecting his own idea:

"How could that be? You're overthinking it."

As for Yuma, before he could even agree or refuse the duel, a gruff voice rang out from the side:

Hey, you over there with the hat!

Along with the sound, a muscular man with strangely parted, spiky pinkish-purple hair walked over, holding two fragments of the heart.

"You seem to be a duelist, so how about you wager this Heart Fragment to duel me?"

Looking at the burly man before him, Charlie, who had been named by name, immediately smiled and said:

"This is really interesting."

He had just been wondering if it was a bad idea to rely on luck to bully Akari's younger brother, but now, a clueless punching bag has delivered itself to his doorstep.

Seeing that Charlie seemed about to agree, Yuma immediately asked Charlie curiously:

Did you also attend WDC?

"No."

Charlie answered naturally, then narrowed his eyes slightly and replied to Yuma.

"However, Yuma, I'm going to show you a duel that's rarely seen in a place like this."

However, just as Charlie was saying such cool things, Soreva, who had been watching the show all along, finally spoke up to expose him:

"I'm telling you, stop showing off. Look at that challenger, he's already lost interest in dueling you."

As Soreva said, the burly man's face immediately showed disappointment when he heard that Charlie did not have the Heart Fragment, and he turned to leave.

Seeing that the sandbag was about to leave, Charlie, who had been calm as always, immediately reached out to grab the burly man:

"Hey, friend, don't be in such a hurry to leave! Help me out and fight that kid in a duel!"

"No! I still need to collect heart fragments, I have no interest in playing house with you!"

Seeing that the burly man remained unmoved, Charlie immediately turned to Youma and the others with a tearful expression:

"Yuma, please, didn't you participate in WDC? Just lend me a Heart Fragment, and I promise I'll win one back for you!"

"This……"

As Yuma took out his Heart Fragment, a look of hesitation instantly appeared on his face. After all, he had already collected four Heart Fragments. With just one more, he could become the first duelist to advance to the finals. He couldn't bear to lose a Heart Fragment at this moment.

As for winning, wouldn't you also be able to get a fragment of the heart from the strong man?

However, just as the burly man revealed the heart fragments, Yuma had already clearly seen that the two fragments the burly man had collected were the heart fragments in the upper left and lower left corners, respectively.
