Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"The Orcs' Death Kangaroo..."

Looking at the card in Marufuji Sho's hand, Yusei stroked his chin and began to think.

If it is this monster, it would indeed be very suitable to be added to Hayato's deck.

170 I was here first!

"Should I have this?"

Hayato looked at the card in Marufuji Sho's hand, and there seemed to be a tear glistening in the corner of his eye.

"Hmm, this is a card I drew from a booster pack. It's not useful for my [Machine] deck."

Marufuji Sho smiled at Hayato and then handed him the card. "Instead of letting it gather dust here, I'd rather give it to you if you need it."

"With these koala-related cards added, it'll soon become an [Australia] deck!"

As he said this, Marufuji Sho looked at Maeda Hayato, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a tender gaze.

"Xiang..."

Moved by Marufuji Sho's words, Hayato couldn't help but cast a touched look at Marufuji Sho as well.

A strange, alluring atmosphere suddenly arose between them, and their bodies began to slowly move closer to each other...

"Holy crap!!!"

Seeing Hayato seemingly intending to offer himself to Marufuji Sho, Yusei suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Unlike me and Tian Gongjie back then, these two are real grown men!

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Yusei instinctively forced their bodies apart as they were about to get close: "My dear roommates! Please don't spread weird atmosphere in the dorm, okay?"

"?!"

The two, realizing what had happened because of Yusei's actions, blushed involuntarily...

"Sho, Hayato, your faces are so red! Are you alright?"

Still not quite understanding the situation, Jaden Yuki scratched his head in confusion as he looked at the two of them.

"No...it's alright!!!"

"I'm fine!"

Under the watchful eyes of Yusei and Jaden Yuki, the two finally sat back down in their original seats and resumed their discussion about deck building...

The perspective shifts to the other side.

The conversation of the group reached the ears of Maeda Masami, who was standing not far from the door of the first-floor manager's office.

Letting the cool night breeze caress his muscular body, Maeda Mozan felt that his drunkenness had dissipated considerably.

Turning his gaze away from Yusei and his group's dormitory on the second floor, Maeda Mozan lifted his foot and headed back to his original destination.

"Hayato... without my knowledge, you've already made so many friends!"

Walking on the dark road at night, Maeda Masan couldn't help but sigh softly.

From the conversation of the group just now, he sensed the bond between Hayato and his roommate.

He was really looking forward to his duel with Hayato tomorrow.

How much have you grown during this time away from home?

Let me see for myself!

Hayato!

Imagining the scene of tomorrow's duel, his gaze gradually deepened...

……

the next day.

In a room in the Duel Academy headquarters.

Under the witness of the Daitokuji master, the Maeda father and son faced each other from afar.

"Then, I, Daitoku-ji Temple, will humbly serve as a witness to this duel!"

Standing beside the hanging scroll with the words "Fighting Spirit" written on it, Master Daitokuji began to confirm the rules of this duel.

Pharaoh used his fleshy ball to tease the trouser leg of the teacher at Daitokuji Temple.

Meanwhile, Yusei, Jaden Yuki, and Sho Marufuji sat quietly to the side, waiting for the duel to begin.

Just then, the Japanese-style sliding door was opened, and a beautiful girl with black hair and red eyes walked into the room with confident and elegant steps.

A white knit sweater paired with a knee-length red and black plaid skirt, with her legs encased in black stockings.

Because it was a Japanese-style room, the girl placed her shoes outside the door.

With her striking appearance and elegant demeanor, the young woman who entered the room instantly became the center of attention...

Even the Maeda father and son, who had made up their minds and were ready to start a duel at any time, couldn't help but glance at her.

The desire for beauty is universal; it's an irresistible biological instinct.

"You came?"

Seeing Tenmiya Yui walk into the room with her beret in hand, Yusei suddenly looked up and spoke.

"Hmm... I'm here."

Upon hearing Yusei's words, Yui paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and gave Yusei a heartwarming smile.

"You shouldn't have come..."

Seeing that Ms. Yui was being so cooperative, Yusei couldn't help but start making jokes too.

"But I'm still here."

Amamiya Yui, who had rushed over after receiving Yusei's message, spoke in a slightly somber tone.

After saying this, Ms. Yu nodded to the crowd looking at her, then closed the sliding door behind her and walked over to Yusei's side.

"Hehe... Yusei, your sister is here!"

Jaden Yuki nudged Yusei next to him with his elbow and said to him with a smile.

Jaden Yuki's parents were quite busy and didn't usually have time to make a special trip to this small island in the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, Sho Marufuji's older brother, Ryo Marufuji, was at the Duel Academy in Obelisk Blue. Naturally, they had complete peace of mind about their outstanding son...

In conclusion, this time, the only one whose parents were called in is poor Yusei...

The reason why Yuki Jaden is described as having a naturally dark complexion is somewhat ironic.

After all, being called in by parents during one's school years is a rather embarrassing thing.

As someone directly involved, Yusei has a deep understanding of this.

Yusei, who had intended to slack off yesterday, finally realized that he had been tricked by that old man from Samejima after unexpectedly meeting Miss Yui!

When he was stared at by Miss Jie's dazzling eyes in the administrator's office, he almost embarrassingly dug out a seaside villa on the spot...

"Oh... um..."

Yusei, who hadn't yet figured out his relationship with Tengu Yui, could only nod perfunctorily in the face of Yuki Jaden's teasing.

To be honest, he himself didn't understand Tiangong Jie's opinion of him.

They're not exactly friends, but they're a bit too close...

After all, no one would give away a rare card with Duel Spirits to someone they've only just met for no reason.

We're not lovers yet...

At least Yu didn't believe that Miss Jie would fall in love with him in such a short time.

No matter how you look at it, this idea is a bit too far removed from reality.

Sister...

Perhaps it really is as Miss Jie said, that she is like an older sister to her, even though they are about the same age...

"Compared to my sister, I feel like she's more like my mom..."

While lost in thought, Yusei uncontrollably blurted out his true feelings.

"...Mom?"

Yugi Judai looked confused.

"...I'm not your mom, okay!"

Upon hearing Yusei's evaluation of her, Yui's previously smiling face instantly turned frosty, and a large "well" symbol appeared above her head.

171 Father and Son Game

"……I was wrong!"

After thinking for 0.01 seconds, the "good boy" Yusei decisively admitted his mistake, and put on an extremely sincere expression.

"Stare...(?_?)ノ"

Tengu Yu, who was well aware of Yusei's ability to change his expression in an instant, held his head in exasperation.

Now that Hayato is about to begin his duel with his father, she no longer intends to argue with Yusei about how to address him, so as not to disturb the father and son.

With a slightly embarrassed and annoyed look, Miss Yuuki glanced at the "sincerely looking" Yusei, then gathered her skirt and bent down to sit down.

After seeing Yuki Jaden grinning foolishly next to Yusei, Tengu decisively chose to sit on the other side of Yusei.

Looking at Yui sitting next to him, Yusei couldn't help but scratch his head.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but Yusei felt that Yui's gaze lingered between him and Yuki Jaden for a moment.

That melancholic look in her eyes was just like that of a wife who suspects her husband of cheating...
