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

Seeing Yugo's disappointed expression, Yuya couldn't help but tentatively ask:

"Excuse me for asking, but in your dimension, has something happened to that girl named Rin?"

Chapter 113: A Grand Collection of Tomatoes, Bananas, and Taro

"Rin... was kidnapped by a guy who looks a lot like us! I accidentally went to the Xyz Dimension while chasing after him."

"What!?"

Yuya hadn't expected to hear such news from Yugo, and at the same time, he seemed to have a hunch about why Yugo was so hostile to Yuto.

"So, you saw Yuto in the Xyz Dimension and thought he looked exactly like you, so you mistook him for the murderer who kidnapped Rin, right?"

Seeing Yugo nod, Yuya, who had already spent a few days with Yuto, immediately spoke up in Yuto's defense:

“Yugo, I think you’ve just mistaken someone for someone else. I’m sure the person who kidnapped Rin was definitely not Yuto.”

"Why are you saying that!? If he hadn't kidnapped Rin, why would I have chased him all the way to the Hyperion Dimension, and even followed him all the way to this dimension!?"

Upon hearing Yuya defend Yuto, Yugo immediately stood up. Based on all the information he currently possessed, Yuto was clearly the most likely person to have kidnapped Rin.

Upon seeing Yugo's excited expression, Yuya first reached out and patted Yugo on the shoulder:

"Calm down, Yugo."

Then, he slowly guided Yuwu to ask questions.

“Yugo, look, don’t we look quite alike? But our hairstyles are still a bit different. Think back carefully, what features of the person who kidnapped Rin match Yuto?”

Listening to Yuya's words, Yugo began to recall while stroking his chin:

"The person who kidnapped Rin... hmm, he had a really sly smile, which doesn't match up with Yuto's serious face... I remember now, that person had purple hair! Yuto also has purple hair, so he must be the culprit who kidnapped Rin!"

Upon hearing Yugo say this, Yuya's face stiffened again. He hadn't expected that even after he had already helped Yuto clear his name, Yugo would still bring Yuto back into the picture.

However, Yugo's expression quickly shifted from sudden realization to deep thought:

"No, the guy I saw had mostly purple hair, but the guy named Yudou has both purple and black hair. Could I have mistaken him for someone else?"

Seeing that Yugo had turned back on his own, Yuya finally breathed a long sigh of relief and chimed in:

"That's right. Yuto and the others in the Xyz Dimension are being invaded by people from the Fusion Dimension. How could they possibly have time to come to your Synchro Dimension to arrest people? There must be some misunderstanding."

"That's it..."

Yugo nodded, which could be interpreted as agreement with Yuya's statement.

"So it seems I misunderstood him. Since you know him, could you take me to see him tomorrow? I want to apologize to him in person."

Seeing the genuine apology on Yugo's face, Yuya immediately nodded:

"No problem! Since you said so, I will definitely help! Besides, Yuto and the others probably want to see you too."

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

The next morning, Yugo and Yuya went out together, which made Yoko Sakaki sigh:

"I never expected that these two kids would get along so well in just one night. However, I'll have to go and retrieve Yugo's D-ring for him."

As for how Yoko Sakaki, upon seeing Yugo's D-wheel, was so excited that she rode it at high speed for an entire morning, that's another story.

Yugo, who followed Yuya to Yushojuku, also successfully met Yuto and Hayabusa.

"Um... I'm so sorry!"

Seeing Yugo bowing his head and apologizing to him the moment they met, Yuto's face also showed an awkward expression:

"Um, what's this...?"

"Yudou, let me explain."

After listening to Yuya recount his conversation with Yugo, Yuto's face showed understanding, and he patted Yugo on the shoulder:

“I understand. Actually, I can really understand how you feel, because our Ruri... just think of her as Rin from our dimension, she was also captured during the invasion of the fused dimension.”

At the time, I was just as anxious and somewhat blinded as you were, and I almost did something wrong. Fortunately, I didn't end up like that. So, I accept your apology.

"Thank you!"

Looking up, Yugo noticed a hint of embarrassment on Yuto's face:

"To be honest, I was wrong when I first met you. I was too anxious because of Ruri's disappearance. I misheard your name as Fusion and thought you were an ally of the Dimensional Fusion, which is why I fought you."

"It's alright, it's alright. Now that we've explained things clearly, I don't mind anymore. Besides, your [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon] is quite powerful. If possible, I really hope my [Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon] can have a match with you!"

"I advise you not to do this."

A male voice came from behind them, and the group turned to look. They saw Soreva leading Zero step by step over.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Soreva, you did only warn us that the Absolute Yuya and the other counterparts must never duel each other, especially not their ace monsters, but you never explained why."

Mr. Soreva, I want to know, why did you do this?

Upon seeing Soleva approach, the first person to ask a question was not any of Yuto, Yuya, or Yugo, but rather Hayabusa, who had knocked Yuto down with a single punch yesterday, ending his duel with Yugo.

"This matter..."

Looking at the three identical faces in front of him, which seemed like a stamp collection, Soleva thought of what Yuya had just said about the clone that had taken Rin away in front of Yugo.

What's there to say? Although we don't know what that guy's name is, we can be pretty sure that the one who kidnapped Rin is the counterpart of Yuya and the others in the fused dimension.

Judging from that person's behavior, he is probably an invader like those from the merged dimension, and the possibility of him being converted into an ally is extremely slim.

In that case, that dimensional fusion counterpart will one day become an enemy of the Yusheng Academy members and their rivals.

If by then, Yuya and the others only remember what they said—that duels between their counterparts are forbidden—they will be too restrained and end up being defeated and absorbed by the counterpart from the fused dimension, thus facilitating Zack's revival and turning it into a bad thing.

It would be better to tell them and let them make their own choice when the time comes.

So, Soreva immediately sighed and decided to reveal something about Zach to the three of them:

"Alright, come on over, I can tell you all about this then. But..."

With that, Soreva picked up Zero and handed him to Falcon.

"Falcon, could you please look after Zero for me for the time being?"

Having said that, Soreva left with Yuya, Yuto, and Yugo, leaving Hayabusa behind him, as if Er Kang were reaching out to stop them:

"Hey! Can't I know too!?"

Chapter 114 Seeing a Ghost

“Mr. Soreva, so you mean that each of us is actually part of that guy who’s trying to destroy the world.”

"If we duel, the winner will take everything from the loser, and eventually, when the four of us unite into one, that guy who once tried to destroy the world will be resurrected, won't he?"

After listening to Soleva recount Zero and Zack's past, concealing their names, Yuto was the first to understand the situation and asked Soleva a question.

Soreva nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

“But Mr. Soreva, didn’t you just say at the end of the story that the world was reshaped and everyone had forgotten that memory? How do you know that?”

To this question, Soreva flicked his nose and said:

"It was... a series of fortuitous encounters. For some reason, I met the person who sealed away the demon that tried to destroy the world, and I learned everything from her."

“But how do we know that what you’re saying, Soreva, is true?”

Despite trusting Soleva, Yuto remained skeptical in the face of such bizarre events.

"Since you don't believe me, Yudou, I think the only way is to let you see her. I believe you will believe me when you see her."

After Soleva finished speaking, Youdou saw Soleva seem to speak again to empty air.

"Lingyi, you should be alright now, right? Could you please be my witness?"

"……OK."

As a faint voice gradually became clearer, the three of them saw the air around Soleva distort, and a figure with golden light emanating from its body gradually appeared.

The person's face, in particular, startled the three of them so much that they immediately stood up.

"This, this is..."

Seeing the three people stammering as they spoke, Lingyi naturally knew what they were thinking, and immediately smiled and said:

“You don’t need to be surprised by my appearance. Whether it’s Yuzu, or Ruri and Rin from those two dimensions, they are all clones I created to protect the seal from problems, so it’s normal that they look similar to me.”

Having received an explanation, Yuya and Yuto sat down, but Yugo remained standing, leaning on the classroom table. After a long while, he turned to Rei and asked in a daze:

"So, if that's the case, then you're Rin's mother!?"

Yugo's words caused Soreva, who was about to take a sip of water to moisten his throat, to spit out the tea in his mouth and start coughing incessantly.

However, Zero seemed quite open-minded about this issue:

"In a sense, that's one way to calculate it."

Immediately, Lingyi saw Yuwu's eyes light up, and he instantly flipped over the desks in the classroom, kneeling down on one knee in front of her:

"Auntie, please entrust Rin to me! I will definitely protect Rin!"

"Crack!"

Soreva seemed to hear a breaking sound, and looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a vein throbbing on Zero's head:

"You brat, who are you calling 'Auntie'?!"

With a powerful uppercut, Yugo's body traced a perfect arc in the air, landing gracefully back in his original seat.

However, Yugo's vitality is quite tenacious. Despite taking such a heavy punch, he was still able to raise his hand and give a thumbs up:

"That's a good punch. No wonder she's Rin's mother."

After saying that, he slumped into the chair.

Seeing this, Yuya couldn't help but shrink back. He recalled Hiiragi Yuzu's paper folding fan. Perhaps it was because his mother was so violent that Yuzu inherited it.

You Dou, on the other hand, was quite startled. It seems that Liu Li on his side is usually very gentle.

"Now, do you believe it?"
