Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"I didn't mean to express any particular feelings..."

Asuka paused for a moment, then continued, "Because of that incident, there are now two first-year students, Jaden Yuki and Yusei, who want to duel you."

"Oh? I know Jaden Yuki, he's the guy from the entrance exam, right?"

"As for Yusei... I've never heard of that name before?"

When the topic of dueling came up, Marufuji Ryo seemed to become somewhat interested.

"Well... Yusei is a very interesting guy... You'll see after you duel him."

"Will you accept the duel, Ryo?"

Judging from Marufuji Ryo's interested expression, it seems like things are going to turn out well.

"Big brother! Yusei and Hayato are also here!"

"Why are you here?!"

Asuka was about to say something more when she suddenly heard Sho Marufuji's scream.

"Hey?"

Following the direction from which the sound came, Ryo Marufuji and Asuka saw Sho Marufuji, who was planning to cross the sea on a raft, and Yusei and his group standing nearby.

……

Guided by Kuriboh, Yusei and his group quickly spotted Marufuji Sho.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

Seeing Marufuji Sho planning to cross the turbulent sea on a simple wooden raft, Yusei couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

--------------------

The following is a Python script that does not take up any word count.

"Turns out I'm also the Geo Emperor," a new book, a Genshin Impact fanfiction.

"I Can Open Portals at Will" is a game that single-player game enthusiasts might want to check out.

146. Ryo Marufuji will not refuse a challenge that comes to him.

Seeing Marufuji Sho make such a bold move, Yusei couldn't help but have a lot of black lines appear on his forehead.

Did this kid not consider how dangerous it was to do that?

Even if Marufuji Sho were to actually drift back to the main island using the ocean currents, how would he plan to solve the food problem?

They really didn't think about anything, they just relied on their momentum!

"Come back quickly, Xiang!"

"Yusei is treating us to a big meal tonight!"

Seeing Marufuji Sho planning to leave the island on a raft, Yuki Judai couldn't help but shout loudly.

If we don't stop him, someone will die!

"What? A feast..."

Upon hearing what Judai Yuki said, Sho Marufuji hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook his head vigorously.

"Don't stop me, big brother!"

"I've made up my mind!"

After saying this, Marufuji Sho jumped onto the raft floating on the shore, intending to leave the island.

"Wait a minute! You stubborn fool!"

Seeing Marufuji Sho's foolish actions, Yuki Jaden quickly sprinted and jumped onto the raft.

The makeshift raft couldn't withstand the impact and fell apart, capsizing and causing Marufuji Sho and Yuki Judai, who were standing on it, to fall into the sea.

"Help! I can't swim!!!"

Just moments ago, Marufuji Sho was full of confidence, but now he was like a drowning dog, desperately calling for help from those around him.

As if grasping at a straw, Marufuji Sho instinctively hugged Yuki Judai's body, refusing to let go no matter what.

"Hey! Don't hold on so tight!"

"It's going to sink!"

Even though she could swim, Yuki Judai started to panic when Marufuji Sho held her so tightly.

"Um... how did you guys manage to drown in water that only reached your waist?"

Yusei put his hands behind his head and stared speechlessly at Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho, who were performing a duet in the water.

"what?"

"Hey……"

Once they calmed down, the two stood up in the water and found that, just as Yu Xing had said, the water level only reached their waists.

Because it's close to the shore, the water level in this area is quite shallow, and you can even vaguely see the rocks underwater.

Fortunately, they only fell into the water near the shore, thus averting a major disaster.

If they had fallen into the water further away, given Marufuji Sho's terrible behavior as a teammate, the two of them would probably have become fish food...

"Just let me go, brother!"

"I am not qualified to be the big brother's little brother now."

Soaked to the bone, Marufuji Sho hugged himself tightly, looking dejected as he spoke to Yuki Judai.

Don't say such discouraging things!

Do you think everyone is spending time looking for you because they're bored?

Yuki Judai, whose body was also soaked by seawater, clenched his fists tightly and stared silently at Marufuji Sho.

"But……"

"You've caused us so much trouble, do you really think you can just walk away like this?"

Seeing Marufuji Sho who was beyond help, Yuki Judai couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.

"Xiang, you're such a wimp!"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the boulder above their heads.

Following the sound, Yusei saw Asuka and Ryo Marufuji walking towards them.

"Brother...brother?"

"How will you be here!?"

Upon seeing the blue-haired man who suddenly appeared before him, arms crossed over his chest, Marufuji Sho, standing in the water, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's... Caesar?"

Upon hearing Marufuji Sho's exclamation, Yuki Judai immediately understood the true identity of the newcomer.

The cool and handsome guy in front of you, wearing a special Obelisk blue uniform, who looks intimidating and has an elegant appearance, is Marufuji Sho's biological older brother, the man who reigns supreme at the top of the academy—Marufuji Ryo.

Jaden Yuki went to Obelisk Blue's dorm today specifically to challenge him to a duel, but not only did he fail to see Caesar in person, he was also kicked out.

Unexpectedly, right now, while I was arguing with Marufuji Sho, he suddenly appeared right in front of me.

"Should we run away?"

Marufuji Ryo stared at his younger brother with a blank expression.

"I……"

Marufuji Sho stared at his older brother, opening his mouth as if to say something, but unable to utter a single word.

He muttered for a long time, but finally lowered his head.

"That's fine too..."

Seemingly disappointed at not getting the answer he wanted, Marufuji Ryo closed his eyes.

"Woo..."

Frustrated by his own powerlessness and incompetence, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.

He instinctively turned around, holding onto the wreckage of the raft floating on the sea, avoiding everyone's gaze, and slowly began to sob.

"Although I don't know what happened between you brothers."

"But don't make things difficult for your younger brother!"

Even when facing the school's No. 1 student, Yuki Judai, who is Marufuji Sho's older brother, did not back down in the slightest.

"There's really no other way."

With his arms crossed, Ryo Marufuji avoided Judai Yuki's gaze.

"Hey?"

Upon hearing Ryo Marufuji's answer, Asuka couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

You were the one who rushed over anxiously when you saw your brother in danger, and now you're the one saying you want to abandon him.

Caesar...

Just how arrogant are you, man...?

"In that case!"

"Let's bid farewell to Marufuji Sho with a duel between me and you, Caesar!"

Unable to grasp Marufuji Ryo's true intentions, Yuki Judai was still standing up for his underlings.

"Brother?!"

Upon hearing Yuki Judai's words, Marufuji Sho stopped crying and looked at his older brother in surprise.

"Um, count me in?"
