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

After thinking it over, Soreva also turned his attention to the match between Hiiragi Yuzu and Honaka Mikoto.

Actually, at this point, the match between Hiiragi Yuzu and Honaka Mikoto was nearing its end. Honaka Mikoto had a mere 500 points, her LP was like a candle flickering in the wind, and with only one card left in her back row, it was truly hopeless.

However, just as Hiiragi Yuzu launched her attack...

"Quick-attack spell [Scapegoat] activated!"

Okay, but Yuzu Hiiragi's four monsters on the field are enough to clear out these four scapegoats. She just can't reduce the LP of the opponent, Eru Mikazuki, but her defeat is only a matter of time.

Just as Soreva was thinking about the situation on the field, a faint fragrance wafted to his nose, making him involuntarily sniff:

"Strange, what's that smell? It smells kind of nice."

Upon hearing Soreva's words, Zero, who was sitting in his lap, immediately pulled up his hood and shrank back.

However, he forgot that he was sitting on Soreva's lap. With this movement, his entire body pressed against Soreva's, and Soreva immediately felt a soft touch through his body.

"What's wrong, Lingluo? Did I scare you with what I just said?"

Faced with Soreva's concern, Zero lowered his head and shook it, but unexpectedly, the next second, Soreva's hand pressed against his head through the hood.

"That's good. But Lingluo, you really don't seem like a boy. You're more like a girl. You need to work on it."

This time, Ling Luo suddenly felt a strange emotion rising in his heart, driving him to want to push away the man who was protecting him in his arms.

However, his long-standing habits prevented him from making such a move.

However, this feeling was quite strange to Ling Luo, as if he had experienced similar emotions before, but he hadn't felt this way for a long time.

After thinking it over carefully, Ling Luo realized that this emotion should be called "anger".

But as a puppet, as a tool, he shouldn't be able to get angry.

And so, Zero remained frozen on Soleva's lap until Hiiragi Yuzu successfully defeated Honaka Mikoto and the Yushojuku members were about to leave. Only then did he hear Soleva calling him to leave, and he jumped off Soleva's lap.

And so, Reiro followed Soleva onto the van rented by Shuzo Hiiragi and arrived at Yushojuku.

"Alright, this is my dorm room. Lingluo, you can sleep in the bunk above me from now on."

After bringing Zero to his dormitory, Soreva took out the spare key that Shuzo Hiiragi had given him from his drawer, took one out, and handed it to Zero.

"Here, the spare key. That way you can open the dorm room door by yourself. Hmm... but Mr. Shuzo Hiiragi said there aren't any extra bedding... I'll take you to buy some after we eat!"

Ling Luo stared blankly at the man smiling at him as he took the key. To be honest, this was the umpteenth time he had seen this man smile today.

In the past, his mother and older brother would only smile at him after he won a duel.

"Ah."

Hearing Lingluo's response, Soreva smiled, patted his head, and then took Lingluo's hand and went out.

For dinner, Soreva took Zero to a KFC, where they each had a hamburger meal.

Actually, Soreva wanted to take Reiro to eat something else, but Reiro seemed particularly interested in hamburgers, so Soreva indulged him.

After dinner, Soreva took Zero to choose bedding and other linens.

At first, Zero seemed a little uneasy, perhaps because Soreva told him to choose a pattern he liked, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Zero quickly selected a set of bedding and took Soreva to see it.

Soreva's assessment of the bedding set was:

Hmm... Blue-Eyes White Dragon? That really does suit a boy's taste, and the price isn't too high either. I'll buy it.

So, Soreva promptly paid the bill and took Zero back to Yushengjuku's dormitory. The two of them laid out all the sheets, blankets, and pillowcases on the upper bunk.

However, after all that, both Soreva and Zero were drenched in sweat.

"Let's go, Lingluo, I'll take you to the public bathhouse!"

After all, the dormitories at Yushojuku didn't have bathrooms, so Soreva had been taking care of his bathing needs at the public bathhouse during his stay there. Gradually, Soreva got used to the feeling of soaking in the public bathhouse and even developed a good relationship with the family who ran it.

When faced with Soreva's suggestion to go to the bathhouse, Zero simply nodded, which Soreva took as an agreement, and led him to the bathhouse.

Soreva probably never dreamed that today, in this very bathhouse, he would experience his biggest shock of the day.

He stuffed all his clothes into the locker, locked it, and then turned to look at Zero beside him:

"Lingluo, you've changed your clothes..."

At this moment, Soreva could no longer make a sound, and even his mouth was just open blankly, because after taking off his clothes, Lingluo in front of him revealed long hair and body. This was not a boy, but clearly a girl!

Coming to her senses, Soreva quickly grabbed her towel and covered Zero with it before turning to Zero and asking in a trembling voice:

"Zero, Zero Luo, are you... a girl?"

But when faced with Soreva's question, Zero simply tilted his head and did not answer.

Gritting his teeth, Soreva grabbed a towel from his bathtub, tied it around his waist to barely cover his private parts, and then shouted at the girl on duty at the bathhouse that day:

"Sakura, please take this child to the women's bathhouse!"

"Ah! Okay!"

Chapter 96 A Sweet Dream

Finally, it was only when the daughter of the family that ran the bathhouse, a girl named Sakura, arrived that Zero was successfully brought to the women's bath.

However, even so, whether Soreva was soaking in the bathtub in the public bathhouse or had already changed his clothes and was drinking milk as usual, his mind was still immersed in shock and fright.

It's not just because Zero is a girl.

Also, when Zero was frightened by Sakura, he tried to hide behind Soleva, and almost tore off the towel that Soleva was wearing around his waist.

Soreva didn't come to his senses until Sakura led Zero, who had just finished bathing, out of the women's bath.

"Mr. Sorewa, is this child your daughter? She's so adorable!"

Soleva nodded instinctively at Sakura's praise, after all, Zero was indeed very cute right now.

Her long purple hair was piled up on her head. Although it was a little damp from the steam in the bathhouse, it still looked quite refreshing. Paired with the bathrobe provided by Sakura, she no longer resembled the boy she had during the day.

"Sakura, thank you for the bathrobe."

"Hehe, you're welcome. Anyway, I'll deduct the cost of the bathrobe from your membership card."

Soreva touched his nose. He dared not tell Sakura that his gratitude was not because he thought the bathrobe was free, but because he was grateful that she provided the bathrobe so that he could see Zero's adorable appearance.

After all, Japan is very strict about controlling heavy industry, and he didn't want to be misunderstood and then inexplicably invited to eat pork chop rice.

"Here you are, Lingluo, your milk."

After handing the milk he had prepared for Zero to her, Soreva picked up the bathtub containing their toiletries and changes of clothes and led Zero towards the Yusheng Academy.

To an unsuspecting person, this scene might actually look like a father and daughter.

Just as Soreva was stroking his chin and reminiscing like this, he inexplicably sensed that something was wrong:

No, I only graduated from university a few years ago, how did I suddenly find myself in the role of an old father!

If Soreva hadn't been holding the bathtub and unable to free his hands, he would have slapped his face to try and calm himself down.

However, Soreva quickly realized who the culprit was that had put him in such an embarrassing situation today...

"Hey? President Akaba Reiji, there's something you should explain to me properly!?"

Upon returning to the Yushojuku dormitory, Soreva immediately addressed a certain person who referred to his sister as his brother, and then handed that person over to the president of his Lion Corporation.

However, the company president was still unaware of what had happened to Soreva that day, and could only express confusion when confronted with Soreva's questions:

"I wonder what you want me to explain?"

"I'm curious, why is it that your 'brother', Akaba Reiji, is actually a girl?"

After a long silence, Soreva finally received a response from the other end of the phone:

"You... you actually harmed such a young child? It seems I need to assess whether Zero Luo is a good person to stay by your side."

"Don't slander me! I was just kindly taking Lingluo to the bathhouse! Did you ever consider that when you found out Lingluo was a girl, I was the first one who was shocked?"

After Soreva's complaints, there was another silence on the other end of the phone, but Soreva could clearly hear faint laughter coming from the other end.

It wasn't until quite a while later that Soreva heard Akaba Reiji's suppressed laughter over the phone:

"Sorry, we forgot to tell you that Lingluo is actually a girl. It was our mistake."

Hearing Akama Reiji's voice like that, Soreva felt a surge of anger, but ultimately didn't know how to vent it, so he sighed and said:

"I hope you can treat Lingluo like a normal girl. The way you're interacting now is bound to cause problems for Lingluo... I won't say any more, that's all."

After saying that, Soreva hung up the phone, turned around and went into the dormitory. Just then, Zero rushed over and bumped into him.

Before Soreva could ask Zero what had happened, a figure radiating golden light floated over:

"Hehe, you can see me after all. No wonder, after all, you possess very powerful elven energy. If it weren't for Soleva, I probably would have asked you for help."

Feeling Zero tremble as he gripped his trouser leg, Soreva immediately put on a helpless expression and said to Zero, who was quite happy to be teasing Zero:

"Alright, Lingyi, this child is so timid, don't scare her."

Seeing that Soreva was already scolding her, Zero immediately stuck out her tongue and gave Soreva a cute look:

"I understand, I won't scare her anymore. But if she sees me looking for you and she scares herself, that's none of my business."

Zero, who was holding onto Soreva's trouser leg, noticed that Soreva could actually communicate with this strange ghost that was scaring him, and he also poked his head out, his eyes wide with curiosity:

"Teacher, can you also see this shiny ghost?"

Soreva smiled slightly at this.

"Of course, and you don't need to be so afraid of her. Although she is indeed a ghost now, she has always been a kind-hearted person and won't bully you. Spend more time with her and get to know her better, and you shouldn't be afraid of her anymore."

With Soreva's assurance, Zero Luo grew bolder and slowly emerged from behind Soreva.

However, as soon as she emerged, Lingyi excitedly pounced on her, hugged her tightly, and rubbed her face against Lingluo's.

"Hehe, what an adorable child! I wish I could have a little sister like that!"

Seeing Zero Luo trembling slightly, frightened by Zero Yi's enthusiasm, Soreva immediately reached out and shielded Zero Yi's forehead, giving Zero Luo a chance to catch his breath:

"Alright, Lingyi, you're being too enthusiastic. You've scared Lingluo."

Taking advantage of Soreva's distraction of Zero, Zero quickly slipped out of Zero's embrace and darted into his bed, leaving behind only a trembling voice saying:

"I'm going to sleep now."
